n

nHe stood in front of the Butler.

n

nLooking at Xiao ran, the Butler was very afraid. He didn’t even care about the Minister of Justice and threw him out just like that, let alone him.

n

n“You still insist on what you just said?” Xiao ran pressed.

n

n“Yes, yes!” The Butler was very afraid.

n

n“Soul shifting control technique!” Xiao ran made his move.

n

nWithin his expectations, yet outside of his expectations, the Butler’s mind was implanted with a spirit restricting technique.

n

nHe retracted his mind shifting Soul Control technique and grinned.

n

nThis smile was so terrifying to him, even more terrifying than a demon ‘s.

n

nWith a tap of his finger, five consecutive finger forces of the heaven slave divine finger were sent into his body.

n

n“Ah …” The Butler couldn’t take it anymore.

n

nHe was in so much pain that he wanted to open his mouth every time, but he would swallow the words back down.

n

nThe process repeated.

n

nXiao ran saw this scene and was puzzled. What was he afraid of? Who was threatening him? Not allowing him to say it?

n

n15 minutes later.

n

nUnder this kind of torture, the Butler was about to die from the pain. His will was clearly unable to bear it and he was about to say something, but it was gone again.

n

nTo relieve him of his pain.

n

nXiao ran guessed something. He turned around and left the cell, entering the cell of the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

n

nSeeing him, the left Assistant Minister took the initiative to speak,”I stole the exam questions from the Ministry of Rites ‘warehouse. I was also the one who sold the answers to the examinees.”

n

nXiao ran didn’t ask and directly used the soul shifting technique.

n

nJust like the Butler, his mind had been sealed with a spirit restriction spell.

n

nHe retracted his mind shifting Soul Control technique.

n

n“Who ordered you to do this?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“No one told me to do it. I was blinded by desire and wanted money! I want to make more money, so I want to take this opportunity to make a big profit. ” The left Assistant Minister said.

n

n“You think I’ll believe you?” Xiao ran mocked.

n

n“You’re a rank two official, not to mention this bit of money, you’ve seen even more money. From the looks of your residence, you’ve been embezzling a lot over the years, right? He could get a lot of money from any project, right? Would you risk losing your position and being executed to go against the taboo?”

n

nThe left Assistant Minister was silent.

n

n“You’re a smart person. This matter is too big. With your small body, you can’t handle it. If you continue to persist, in the end, even your family will be in trouble. ” Xiao ran said.

n

n“I’ll take responsibility for my actions. If you have anything to say, come at me. Don’t touch them!” The left Assistant Minister was getting anxious.

n

nXiao ran finally understood that someone was threatening him with his family.

n

n“The main examiner for this year’s fall quarter examination is Lord Fu. You should know his temper. You have committed such a grave crime. If you insist on bearing all the charges, according to the law, you will be dragged to the market and beheaded. The men of your family will be sent to the border as slaves, and the women will be sent to the Imperial Academy to wash their faces with tears, living a life worse than death. Are you willing to see that?”

n

n“Impossible! He promised me that he would not touch my family. ” The left Assistant Minister roared.

n

nXiao ran shook his head. At this point, he was no longer in a hurry.”You’ve been an official for so many years. You should understand this principle. You’d rather believe a dog than an official’s mouth.”

n

n“…” Left Assistant Minister was silent.

n

nXiao ran had plenty of patience. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and waited patiently.

n

nAfter a long time.

n

nThe left Assistant Minister spoke again.”You can leave! I’m the one who did this, so if you want to torture me, I’ll take it all. ”

n

n“Once I go, I will be convicted of this matter! If you stole the exam questions and sold the answers, the Imperial court would drag you to the market and behead you in order to appease the anger of the exam candidates. Your family is just like what I’ve said. Don’t hold any hopes of getting lucky, Lord Fu will give all the scholars in the world an explanation. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nHe turned around and walked out.

n

nOne, two, three …

n

nHe was betting, betting that he would say it himself, betting that he would not dare to try it on his family.

n

nThe left Assistant Minister’s expression was one of struggle. He was like a person who had fallen into an abyss. Terror surrounded him from all directions. His heart was filled with despair and he could not see a single bit of light.

n

nAll kinds of consequences, cursory glances, quickly flashed through his mind.

n

nHe had thought of everything, including accidents.

n

nWith Fu Xianhe’s strong character, he would fight to the end as long as he was still alive.

n

nEven when facing Emperor Sheng Wen, as long as he felt that it was reasonable and right, he would dare to take the risk of being beheaded!

n

nHua Hua …

n

nThe iron chains wrapped around the cell door, and the moment it was about to be locked …

n

nHe was afraid!

n

n“You can protect my family?”

n

nXiao ran’s lips curled up. He knew he had won.

n

n“I won’t make any promises to you, but I’ll try my best to do it. This matter won’t involve your family. Just like what you said just now, I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. ”

n

nFu Xianhe and Shen Yiming came in from outside.

n

nHe happened to hear the conversation between Xiao ran and him.

n

n“I promise you that as long as you tell me the whole story, your family will not be involved.” Fu Xianhe said.

n

nXiao ran nodded to them and opened the cell door. The three of them entered the cell.

n

n“You can tell me now,” Fu Xianhe said.

n

nA person’s name was like a tree’s shadow.

n

nFu Xianhe’s appearance gave him a strong sense of relief.

n

n“Ninth Prince!” The left Assistant Minister gritted his teeth and said a name with great difficulty.

n

nBOOM!

n

nFu Xianhe was shocked. Even though he had guessed it, he was still shocked when he heard it from his own mouth.

n

n“Tell me the details.”

n

nShen Yiming took out a pen washi and was in charge of taking notes.

n

nThe left Assistant Minister had said that he was the ninth Prince’s man and that the night before, the ninth Prince had found him and asked him to steal the exam questions from the Treasury of the Ministry of Rites. He had promised that he would be handsomely rewarded after the task was completed.
