Chapter 166 (One hundred and sixty-six) Personal grudges
When Sun Guye heard Hong Mian and Cui Cong tell all his secrets in public, he was angry and couldn't figure out why such a reliable person as Cui Cong would betray him. At this time, both physical evidence and human evidence were available, and he had no choice but to kowtow and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me!"
"First let Sun Guye, Lu Juefeng, Hong Mian and Cui Cong kneel in a row and tie them up!" King Jing Yin said.
The guards quickly complied.
"Lu Juefeng, are you and Sun Guye together? Are you betraying Jing Yin country with him?" King Jing Yin asked Lu Juefeng, who had been tied up.
"No! Absolutely not! He actually had an affair with the Hongluo Kingdom? Weichen really didn't know! How could he be so presumptuous! As an official of the Jingyin Kingdom, Weichen would definitely report it to His Majesty if he knew that he had an affair with the Hongluo Kingdom. Ah!" Lu Juefeng argued eagerly. In fact, he did not know that Sun Guye had an affair with Hongluo Kingdom.
Sun Guye felt strongly that his current situation was extremely bad and he would definitely die. He thought that since Lu Juefeng had added insult to injury, he would simply drag Lu Juefeng to be buried with him. So Sun Guye said: "He clearly knew everything I did. Not only that, but many things were suggested by him! Just talking about what happened yesterday, if his men hadn't informed me, how could I have arrested Yin Ruchen?"
"Sun Guye, you have fallen to this point and you still slander me and frame me!" Lu Juefeng said through gritted teeth.
"What do you mean by slander and frame-up? What I said is obviously the truth! If you want to say 'frame-up', it is you who framed me! I have already said that you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. If I die, you will live. No!" Sun Guye said.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen will confess now. It was indeed Wei Chen who sent someone to inform Sun Guye to arrest Yin Ruchen, but that was entirely because both Wei Chen and Sun Guye had personal grudges with Yin Ruchen and Sun Guye's betrayal of Jing Yinguo. It's irrelevant. Wei Chen really didn't expect that Sun Guye was a traitor. If Wei Chen knew about it, even if he temporarily put aside his personal grudge with Yin Ruchen, he would not have anything to do with Sun Guye," Lu Juefeng immediately defended. . He understood that if he told the truth, it would be equivalent to exposing his past evil deeds, but no matter what other crime it was, it was not as serious as treason. Lu Juefeng has never had any thoughts of treason. Rather than being wrongly accused of being a traitor and being punished, it would be better to tell the truth.
Liu Qimei thought to herself: It seems that my feeling is indeed correct. This Lu Juefeng did not target Yin Ruchen just to do things for me so that I can speak kind words for him in front of His Majesty and help him get promoted.
"What kind of personal grudge? I obviously listened to your advice when I did those things!" Sun Guye continued to involve Lu Juefeng.
"You are thinking that you will definitely die for committing treason, so you deliberately involve me in it to accompany you, right? Don't be delusional! I, Lu Juefeng, have always been loyal to Jing Yinguo. Only people like you can do such things as treason. Come out!" Lu Juefeng said.
"Personal grudges?" King Jingyin looked at Yin Ruchen and asked, "Miss Yin, have you ever had any personal grudges between you?"
"Your Majesty, Minnu doesn't know what he means by 'private grudges'. Minnu has never seen them before coming to the palace." Yin Ruchen replied.
"Do you think Miss Yin has any 'personal grudges' with you?" King Jing Yin asked Lu Juefeng. (End of chapter)
