"Your Majesty, I received news a few days ago that someone was engaged in human trafficking in the south of the city. After investigation, it was found that Tian Linwen was involved. He used dirty means to abduct those children, gathered them together, and sent them to the capital."

"I personally led people to track them down and accidentally discovered a group of private soldiers hiding in the valley leading to the northwest. The general who managed the private soldiers kept a few of the children who were sent out, and the rest were sold to Lingzhou."

Xiao Lichen's words caught everyone present off guard.

Emperor Jianchang sat high on the dragon throne, with his hands clenched into fists on both sides of the throne. His face, which usually looked elegant and kind, was cold and murderous.

The court officials were all shocked and confused by this shocking news.

Who is plotting a rebellion?

Thinking of Tian Linwen's previous accusation that Tao Zhihong was involved in treason, their eyes subconsciously turned to him.

Could it be that this great general who defends the country was really involved in the rebellion?

As a clerk in the military department who was in charge of the weapons accounts, Tian Linwen might have been threatened by Tao Zhihong and participated in the secret rebellion.

However, in order to save his own life, Tian Linwen stepped forward and exposed the matter in advance.

Tao Zhihong ignored these malicious looks with a cold face, his eyes slightly stern.

"What a thief crying thief."

Tian Linwen, who was lying on the ground, never thought that what he had done for that person would be exposed like this.

After a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, Tian Linwen fainted.

"what happened?"

Emperor Jianchang was already angry.

With a livid face, he suddenly stood up from the dragon throne.

Xiao Lichen briefly recounted his journey to Funiu Mountain.

And brought the children rescued by Tao Yuwei to the main hall.

Zhang Shizhong, another person behind the scenes who was involved in the child trafficking, was found out by Xiao Yuwei's men.

It was from this person that it was revealed that Tian Linwen was the real mastermind behind the child trafficking.

Xiao Lichen's bodyguard Heiyan found out from the Five Cities Military Department that half a year ago, someone used the name of Tian Ce to process the documents to leave the city at night.

After Emperor Jianchang personally inquired, he saw all kinds of evidence in front of him.

All the evidence points to Tian Linwen.

After understanding what happened, he looked at Tian Linwen who had fainted on the ground and wanted to kill him immediately.

In order to raise funds for rebellion, they even abducted and sold innocent children to Beijing. It was a lucrative business.

How could Tian Wenlin, a mere clerk in the Ministry of War, have the ability to recruit private soldiers?

There must be a big fish hiding behind him.

"What a great guy Tian Linwen is! Not only did he kidnap children, he was also so bold as to secretly raise people to participate in the rebellion. Someone, wake him up."

Give an order.

Tao Yuwei, who had been stepping on Tian Linwen's back, immediately moved aside.

Several imperial guards came forward, grabbed Tian Linwen who had escaped, and tapped him a few times, and Tian Linwen woke up slowly.

"Tian Linwen, who is the mastermind behind you who is plotting rebellion? Tell the truth!"

"You are such a good kid! It was you who was the one secretly plotting a rebellion, and you even slandered General Tao! You deserve to die!"

Marquis Wei Jing, who had spoken for him before, changed his expression at this moment.

This Tian Linwen is so shameless that he actually did such a heinous thing in secret.

He must cut off his relationship with this person and cannot let His Majesty vent his anger on him, otherwise, his entire mansion will be ruined.

Tian Linwen tried hard to open his eyes, but when he saw the disgusted looks of everyone in the hall, he remained silent.

Is this the end of the road?

It would have been great if I hadn't agreed to do this for him at the beginning.

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Lichen asked him at this time, "If you can tell me who is behind this, I will save your life!"
