Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

As time goes by, the three trials have come to a conclusion. The most powerful evidence is the confession of the captured witnesses, which shows that everything was done by the Jiang family.

According to him, he did not notice the princess' presence at the time, so he followed orders to blow up the gunpowder factory only because he was afraid of leaving strong evidence behind. As for how the gunpowder was transported or where it went, he had no idea.

After learning all this, Xiao Yanzhou was not as angry as imagined. Perhaps the truth had already come to light.

What he cares more about is how Jiang Zhuo plans to end up, who will be the scapegoat? What kind of ending does Xiao Yu hope for Jiang Zhuo?

"Now that the truth has been revealed, arrest him and put him in jail." Xiao Yanzhou casually closed the report booklet.

But before the minister left, the eunuch came forward to report, "Your Majesty, the son of the Jiang family, Jiang Mo, comes to see Your Majesty."

Xiao Yanzhou couldn't help but snort coldly, and even mocked in his heart.

It looks like the scapegoat has already arrived.

three days ago.

Jiang Zhuo received a message from an informant in the palace.

After reading it, Jiang Zhuo angrily crumpled the note in his hand into a ball.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Jiang Mo walked forward and asked worriedly.

He was silent for a moment, then turned and looked at Jiang Mo solemnly, "Mo'er, this will be the biggest crisis for my Jiang family!"

Jiang Mo looked at him in shock, how could things become so serious?

"Dad...what happened? Wasn't it resolved?"

He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Mo's wrist, "Mo'er, only you can save the Jiang family this time."

Later, Jiang Mo finally understood what he meant. It turned out that he wanted him to seize all the evidence.

"Father...do you want me to die?" Jiang Mo widened his eyes in horror and asked in an almost trembling voice.

"No, Mo'er!" He denied repeatedly, "Father will help you, and His Majesty will never let you sacrifice yourself. This is just a strategy."

Jiang Mo couldn't imagine that he would become a victim at the critical moment. "Dad...is there no other way?"

"Now you have to hand over the Jiang family members. If my father goes to jail, the Jiang family will be finished! Everything is over!" Jiang Zhuo let go of his hand and lowered his head in pain.

He was also at a loss, terrified, "Then...what will happen to the child?"

Jiang Zhuo seized the opportunity, "Don't worry, Mo'er, your father has a way to rescue you. You just need to plead guilty on your father's behalf."

Jiang Mo froze in place. He didn't know why, but Jiang Qingyu's fate seemed to be repeating itself on him.

Seeing that he was still wavering, Jiang Zhuo told him in an encouraging tone, "Mo'er, you are your father's good child. Your father needs you, and the Jiang family needs you."

In the end, Jiang Mo agreed to take the evidence.

Shen Han watched all this silently in a corner.

Until Jiang Mo told her his decision.

"Mo'er, have you decided?"

"Yes, mother." Jiang Mo nodded. He thought that his mother would be pleased about this, but he never expected that she would be filled with anger that he had never seen before.

"Mo'er, you can do whatever you want this time!"

Jiang Mo was stunned, "I don't understand what mother means."

Shen Han turned around and looked at Jiang Mo seriously, "Since you can't get any value in the Jiang Mansion, there is no point in going to jail in his place."

"So, whether you want to report him or run away, it's up to you."

"Mom! Dad said he would save me!" Jiang Mo was still defending Jiang Zhuo.

"Mo'er, let's not talk about whether he will save you or not. If he can't save himself at that time, do you think he will still care about your safety?!" Shen Han tried his best to suppress his voice and anger.

"No! Mother! The Jiang family will not end like this. I will never let this happen!" Jiang Mo said this and turned around and ran out.

Shen Han watched Jiang Mo leave. She naturally hoped that the Jiang family would win forever. Now they had to admit one thing: someone had suppressed the Jiang family.

……

Xiao Yanzhou looked down at Jiang Mo who was kneeling on the ground, "Tell me, what do you want to say to me at this time?"

"Your Majesty, Jiang Mo is here to confess his guilt." Jiang Mo's frank words seemed to have summoned up his courage.

"Confess your guilt?" He lowered his eyebrows. "What crime?"

Just a few simple words could convey the emperor's majestic aura, as if a huge rock was pressing down on Jiang Mo.

"The gunpowder factory case was handled by me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at him in horror.

"You did it?!" His cold and terrifying face suppressed some emotions.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Mo admitted again.

"Okay, since you did it, then tell us the whole process truthfully."

"Jiang Mo did all this for the Jiang family and for his father, so he wanted to use the gunpowder shop to prove his strength. I wanted to prove to my father that I was capable."

"The gunpowder workshop was robbed again and again, so I stopped investigating. However, I never found the thief. I realized that I was exposed, so I thought of putting the blame on King Xiao."

"After checking, they were afraid of leaving loopholes and affecting the Jiang family, so they blew it up."

"What about Xiao Yu?!"

"I didn't expect Jiang Qingyu to go to the gunpowder workshop." Jiang Mo confessed everything but denied the fact of hurting Qingyu.

"Your Majesty, I came here today to confess my crime without telling my father because I was afraid of bringing trouble to the Jiang family. Everything was done by me alone. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yanzhou's narrow eyes, descending upon Jiang Mo like death.

"Jiang Mo, do you know what you are talking about? Deceiving the emperor is a capital crime."

Jiang Mo swallowed unconsciously in his dry throat and mustered up his courage, "Your Majesty, Jiang Mo knows he is wrong, it has nothing to do with my father and mother."

"Jiang Mo doesn't dare to hope for your majesty's forgiveness, I am willing to bear it alone!"

He looked at Jiang Mo in front of him. These words were clearly spoken according to Jiang Zhuo's instructions. He was a completely different person from the last time he saw him.

After a short silence, he said quietly, "In that case, take him to the dungeon and wait for judgment."

"Yes, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

After Jiang Mo was taken away, everyone present murmured.

He was as calm as ever. He simply indicated that everything was fine and left. He did not continue to talk about what happened in the Jiang Mansion.

In the eyes of other ministers, even the favored princess could not escape Jiang Zhuo's favoritism.

After all the ministers left, Xiao Yanzhou spoke, "He Yi, tell Xiao Yu that I want to see her tomorrow."

"It's Your Majesty."

"By the way, have you found out what I asked you to look for?"

He Yi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in panic, "Your Majesty, I only found out that one of the most popular dancers, Kuiyue, somehow left Huanxiang Pavilion and left Yongqing City."

"Others..."

He Yi immediately leaned forward to apologize, "I am incompetent."

He frowned slightly, his deep eyes staring straight ahead, "Where is Hua Niang from Huanxiang Pavilion?"

He Yi quickly explained, "There is no flaw at all. I am worried that if I continue to investigate...if there is someone behind it, they will definitely notice it, so..."

He did not show the anger that He Yi expected. He just said, "Okay, I understand. Go and inform Xiao Yu first."

Seeing this, He Yi quickly retreated.

For some reason, He Yi always felt that His Majesty seemed different since he returned to the palace last time. It was more like he had returned to his former cold and gloomy self, and even more terrifying.
