Chapter 360: Search of the Prime Minister's Residence
Chapter 360: Search of the Prime Minister's Residence
"Master Tianyi is here, where is your prince?" Situ Tianming looked at Li Mulan.
Li Mulan didn't reply, but Tianyi spoke first, "He is busy, but he already knows that the old monk is here."
Indeed, at this moment, the city of Kyoto, and even the imperial court, were in chaos.
The Regent's Black Armored Army directly searched the Prime Minister's Mansion.
With all the evidence and witnesses, it is clear that the late crown prince did not hang himself, but was poisoned by Prime Minister Xu Tian, and even the late crown princess was poisoned as well.
Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs, but this prime minister is so cruel.
Most of the people in the court pleaded for Xu Tian, but Chu Chenfeng directly threw the witnesses and evidence in front of everyone. Especially among the witnesses, there was actually Xu Pinting.
The Prince Regent is going to get married tomorrow, but today he actually cleaned up the Prime Minister's residence with drastic measures. It seems that it was premeditated.

Cheng Wangfu.
"What? Xu Tian was arrested? What's going on?"
King Cheng's face changed and he grabbed his subordinate by the collar and questioned him.
The subordinate trembled with fear and bowed his head as he answered, "Now the news has spread throughout Kyoto that Prime Minister Xu is the murderer who poisoned the late Crown Prince and Crown Princess. There is evidence and witnesses, and he has been... has been taken into custody."
King Cheng took two steps back in disbelief and slowly sat down, "How could this happen..."
"Master, the situation is not right. Should we continue with the plan?"
King Cheng looked at Henian in confusion. Henian was also panicked at the moment, but he did not show it on his face.
"Your Majesty, we have finally come this far. Are you sure you want to give up?"
King Cheng was naturally unwilling to accept this, "But given the current situation, do we... have a chance of winning?"
Henian was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you give up, I don't know how many years you will have to wait for the next one."
King Cheng's face turned pale. Yes, he had waited for so many years. If he waited any longer, he would be old...
He gritted his teeth and said, "The plan remains the same. I don't believe that Chu Chenfeng can always have such good luck."
Henian finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the plan must be carried forward. A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. All those who looked down on him deserved to die!
"Sir, Xu Tian cannot be kept here. If he tells anything, given Chu Chenfeng's personality, he will not let me go even if we get married tomorrow. There can't be any accidents at this time. We need to shut him up now."
Henian nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me. I will never let him say a word."

Heaven Prison.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
"Why? Why? How did our Xu family wrong you that you are like this? Ah?" Ji's hair was disheveled at the moment, and she no longer had her usual dignified manner. She stared at Xu Pingting viciously, as if she wanted to bite off a piece of her flesh.
Xu Pingting's face was swollen from being beaten. Her mother protected her, but she was also afraid of her mother-in-law at the moment, so she could only hug Xu Pingting timidly.
Xu Pingting covered her face and sneered, "Where have you let me down? Grandmother, ask yourself, for all these years, have I done anything that was not in accordance with your instructions? From childhood to adulthood, I have learned whatever you asked me to learn, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Which of my skills have ever embarrassed you? Even if I like something you don't like, I will still not touch it. But for me, I just like the Regent. This is my only wish. Why can't you satisfy me? Ah! Why? I am your granddaughter."
Xu Tian in the cell next to him kicked the middle railing. "Just because of a man, you even ignored your family. You only care about him, Chu Chenfeng. Where do you put your parents, me, your grandmother, and my Xu family? If I had known you were such a bastard, I should have strangled you to death when you were born."
Xu Pingting's father also looked at her viciously. He was a playboy who only knew how to spend his time in debauchery, eating, drinking and having fun. Now he had lost everything, and he kept cursing under his breath.
"You little bitch, if I had known you were such an ungrateful person, I should not have given birth to you. You're just as cheap as your mother. You can't even live a good life, and now you want to kill our whole family. I really want to strangle you to death right now!" As he said that, he began to slap the middle railing hard, looking like a manic beast.
"Come here, little bitch, or I'll beat you to death."
"Can you come over? Ah? I tell you, go and tell the Regent that those are all nonsense you made up."
"If I had known you were this kind of person, I would have gotten married earlier to avoid bringing trouble to the family."
"I didn't like you when you were born. You're just a girl, just like your mother, useless. You made me be laughed at for not being able to give birth to a son."
"You little bitch, can you come over here? And you, you dead woman, did you hear me? Bring this money-losing thing over here? Did you hear me?"
.........
Xu Tian's head hurt from the noise, and he kicked his manic son away, "Shut up, you keep calling me 'old man', who are you?"
Then he tried to calm down and looked at Xu Pingting, "Pingting, Grandfather wants to ask you, what did you say to the Regent? And how did you know about the former Crown Prince?"
Xu Pinting sneered, "What are you talking about? Don't you know what you did? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
Ji went up and slapped him twice, "Idiot, don't forget that your last name is also Xu! What good will it do you if the Xu family falls? Do you think you can stay out of it? Don't dream."
"That's better than marrying King Cheng!" Xu Pingting shouted with all her strength. Her eyes were red and her body couldn't stop shaking. "That's better than marrying King Cheng..."
Ji staggered and said in disbelief, "Just because of this, you betrayed your grandfather and the entire family? Hahahahaha..."
Ji laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She looked a little crazy, which made Xu Pingting and her mother feel creepy.
"I have worked hard to train you for so many years, but it's really useless. You are dumber than a pig, stupid and stupid. You still want to marry Chu Chenfeng? It's strange that he would like you! You are not even half as good as the granddaughter of that old man Li Cong, and you still want to be the regent princess? Dream on."
Xu Pingting was so angry that she trembled. "Then at least I can survive! Grandmother thinks she is so powerful? If you didn't have the support of your family, do you think grandfather would be devoted to you? Do you think others don't know about your affairs? Why doesn't grandfather have a single maidservant by his side? It's because you are jealous! If those maidservants who died before come back to you in your dreams at midnight, won't grandma be afraid?"
Ji rushed forward and wanted to hit her again. This time Xu Pingting didn't endure it. She grabbed Ji's arm and pushed her to the ground.
Ji's face was filled with disbelief. "How dare you fight me? You! Are disobedient and unfilial!"
