Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 151 Surprise Interrogation

“I did not intend to frame my lord; I was just confused for a moment and wanted to leave myself a way out.”

After all, no matter how strong the Lord is, he can hardly contend with the Feather Emperor Palace.

Zhang Sibo hurriedly offered a pretext for his defense.

"What else do you have to say? If you confess honestly, I may spare your life and let your family go."

Mo Yuming's tone was indifferent.

"That's all I know. I didn't do anything; I just did him a favor."

Zhang Sibo quickly responded.

"Do you want to know why we saw through you so quickly? It's because you were too arrogant! You were still trying to outsmart me even at a time like this!"

Mo Yuming glared angrily at Zhang Sibo, who was still trying to argue.

"General Sun, are all the people downstairs under control? Go and cooperate with the National Security Bureau to investigate them. Also, transfer General Liu here to temporarily take charge of the city defenses of Shangyuan. Have Su Ce escort all the criminals from Jian'an City to Shangyuan City for joint investigation!"

Mo Yuming stood up and gave orders to Sun Min.

"The officials downstairs have all been taken into custody. The 10,000 reserve troops of the fortress are marching towards Shangyuan City. They are expected to enter the city in an hour and a half to complete the rotation with the original 7,000 soldiers stationed there..."

After listening to Sun Min's report, Mo Yuming decisively said:

"Take them away and separate them into different prisons. Have the Dragon Lord and Tiger Lord search their souls, seize the Zhang family's property, confiscate all their assets, and throw their relatives and related persons into prison for strict investigation!"

Upon hearing that he was to be subjected to a soul search, Zhang Sibo was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat, and immediately begged for mercy:

"My lord, spare me! I'll tell you everything, please don't search my soul, I'll tell you everything..."

Mo Yuming glanced at him and said coldly:

“I have already given you a chance. Since you are so fearless, then save your words for Su Ce. I don’t have time right now.”

After speaking, Mo Yuming walked out of the courtyard, and Sun Min immediately ordered people to take Zhang Sibo and the unconscious man in black away.

Mo Yuming already knew the basic situation, so whether Zhang Sibo spoke or not was no longer important. However, the current situation was like a tightly strung bow.

The mysterious Spirit Stone has disappeared without a trace, like a bomb that could explode at any moment, casting a shadow over everyone's hearts.

Although all that is needed is to pry the whereabouts of the Spirit Shadow Stone from the man in black as soon as possible, how easy is that?

Mo Yuming felt as if every minute and every second was a race against unknown dangers, and if he was not careful, he would lose miserably.

Like the Message Talisman, the Spirit Shadow Stone is a magical artifact left behind by ancient weapon refiners, and now only a few advanced weapon refiners are able to refine it.

The "Knife" spirit weapon shop in Shangyuan City sells them, but they are more expensive than the talisman; even the lowest grade spirit shadow stone costs three hundred gold coins.

Before preparing to arrest Zhang Sibo, Mo Yuming thought of leaving evidence to counter Wu Ji.

Sun Min then recommended to him that he use the Spirit Shadow Stone to record the interrogation process.

The Spirit Stone can only passively record surrounding images and sounds; it cannot be faked.

Therefore, the people of this world highly agree with the contents recorded by the Spirit Stone.

But can this Spirit Stone be the key to turning the tide? Everything is fraught with uncertainty.

Mo Yuming currently possesses a Spirit Stone that recorded the process of Zhang Sibo's surprise interrogation. This is one of the important pieces of evidence he used to counter Wu Ji using the Feather Palace.

The Imperial Palace Inspector who was injured by Eunuch Pao is still unconscious. Although Mo Yuming knows that this inspector must have been bribed by Wu Ji, Eunuch Pao almost killed him, so he will definitely not serve Wu Ji again.

However, what if something unexpected happens after the inspector wakes up?

Mo Yuming always had a heavy weight on his mind.

Moreover, Mo Yuming has obtained a great deal of evidence that Wu Ji arranged for people to deliberately use the remnants of the criminal clan to frame him.

Even if the inspector wanted to cover something up, he dared not show favoritism towards Wu Ji anymore, after all, his life had been saved by Mo Yuming, and he had no deep hatred for Mo Yuming.

But in this unpredictable situation, who can guarantee that everything will go according to plan?

Harboring criminals and using them to frame others is a grave sin, and the Feather Palace will never allow anyone to do such a thing openly.

Once the news is made public, Wu Ji will definitely suffer the consequences.

But how many difficulties and obstacles will there be in the process?

Mo Yuming no longer focused solely on the present; he turned his gaze towards Zhongyuan City. The unknown future seemed to harbor countless demons, each eyeing him with predatory intent.

……

In the confidential conference room on the third floor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Yuming, Su Yangyan, Huo Chengde, Huang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yuheng and others gathered again.

Mo Yuming activated the images recorded on the Spirit Image Stone in his hand. As long as the Spirit Image Stone is not damaged, the images can be activated multiple times with spiritual power for people to view.

The ugly face of Zhang Sibo in the video aroused everyone's indignation. No one expected that he would be such a person without any bottom line.

The crowd was even more outraged by Wu Ji's wicked methods.

The thought of such a dangerous enemy lurking nearby, and the potential for further schemes and plots if they hadn't discovered it, sent chills down everyone's spines. A tense atmosphere filled the entire conference room, as if a storm was about to break, and everyone declared that this revenge was absolutely necessary.

“Revenge will definitely be avenged, but how, when, and in what way should it be done?”

I'm wondering what will happen once Wu Ji's scheme of taking in and using the remnants of the sinful clan to frame others is exposed.

Will he be wanted or executed by the Feather Emperor Palace?

He is a marquis of the Great Red Kingdom and the uncle of the King of the Long Kingdom. If he is not executed, how will the Feather Palace explain itself to the world?

How will we deal with other so-called accomplices of the criminal race?

If Wu Ji were wanted by the Feather Palace, how would the other marquises of Long Kingdom react?

Will the Feathered Emperor Palace exterminate Wu Ji's entire clan?

What kind of situation will Wu Ji's ten fiefdoms face?

Mo Yuming said this after everyone had finished watching the video.

After listening to Mo Yuming's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Sun Min and Su Ce walked in and handed a Spirit Shadow Stone to Mo Yuming.

After seeing this, Mo Yuming said to everyone:

"Let's take a look at the latest statements first!"

After saying that, he activated the image recorded by the Spirit Image Stone.

In the video, the man in black and Zhang Sibo are tied to two stone pillars respectively.

Su Ce, as the presiding judge, sat opposite the two, while Sun Min sat beside him.

Meanwhile, Lord Dragon and Lord Tiger stood masked behind the two men.

At this moment, the man in black had woken up and saw that he and Zhang Sibo were both locked up in prison, which made him look extremely dejected.

When he saw Zhang Sibo crying and begging for mercy, his inner defenses collapsed, and his strong will to survive made him beg for mercy as well.

Su Ce looked at him and asked:

"What is your name? Who sent you, and what is your purpose?"

The man in black quickly replied:

“My name is Wu Ci, and I am Wu Ji’s distant cousin and a clan elder. Wu Ji sent me here to secretly frame your young master.”

"How do you intend to frame our lord?"

Su Ce asked.
