Chapter 163 Denial
After being untied, Ding Datian came to Ding Dadi. The two looked at each other. Before they could speak, Zhao Lin said to them, "If it weren't for the invaders from Hongluo Country forcing your parents, your life would definitely not be like this now. The invaders from Hongluo Country are so tyrannical and cruel! That traitor from Dingsu Village is really hateful!"
"That traitor should be torn into pieces!" When King Jingyin said this, he immediately thought of Sun Guye's secret communication with Hongluo State. He said angrily: "Quickly bring Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng up!"
After King Jingyin gave the order, Ding Datian and Ding Dadi began to talk in low voices.
Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng were brought up at the same time.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! It was wrong for me to enter your bedroom without permission last night. I hope you will be lenient with me! As for the other things, I was wrongly accused!" Sun Guye was busy explaining himself as soon as he was brought up.
Zhao Lin said angrily, "Sun Guye, you still don't tell the truth! Don't think no one knows. The prescription you provided to my father can strengthen the body if used directly. Others have not been poisoned after trying it, but my father has been using Feng Yuyi's prescription. Once people who have been using Feng Yuyi's prescription for a long time switch to the prescription you provided, they will slowly be poisoned and suddenly attack at a certain time. If you provide such a prescription, what else can you do but murder His Majesty?"
Sun Guye felt uneasy after hearing this, but he still pretended to be innocent and said, "Your Highness, I am innocent! I never thought that the prescription would have such an effect!"
Liu Qimei couldn't help but vent her anger towards Sun Guye: "Sun Guye, the truth has been revealed. You are guilty of murdering His Majesty. Don't think you can escape the death penalty by making excuses!"
"My Queen, if you put me to death like this, I will die with regret!" Sun Guye continued to pretend to be innocent.
After King Jingyin had the letters handed to him, he held up the letters and said to Sun Guye, "If you were put to death because of these letters, you can rest in peace, right? You secretly communicated with the Hongluo Kingdom, and the evidence is all here. What else do you have to say?"
When Sun Guye saw that his letters had appeared in front of everyone, he realized how serious the situation had become. He was sweating profusely, and after a period of confusion, he immediately argued: "This... this... I was framed... framed! These letters alone cannot prove what I did!"
King Jingyin, Liu Qimei and Zhaolin saw that Sun Guye was still stubborn at this time, and their anger burned even more. They thought that they must make him speechless, so they asked people to bring Hong Mian and Cui Cong up immediately.
Hong Mian and Cui Cong confessed the whole truth of the matter in court, and the truth about the murders of Zhu Lianzhi and Xing Neng was also revealed.
Previously, Sun Guye saw that Zhaolin seemed to be neither interested in state affairs nor capable of taking on important responsibilities, so he thought that once King Jingyin died, it would not be difficult to usurp power. Sun Guye used a large sum of money to win over Xing Neng and made a solemn promise to him, asking Xing Neng to help him eliminate King Jingyin. Xing Neng had the intention of usurping the throne, but he was unable to achieve his wish. Seeing that Sun Guye wanted to win him over, he agreed. He just wanted to use Sun Guye for his own selfish purposes. He first joined forces with Sun Guye, and then used other means to kill Sun Guye after the situation developed to a certain extent.
