Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book Novel - Chapter 115
Chapter 115 Redress Injustice
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Many people had already put dowh their weapons and knelt down.
“Pick up your weapons. What are you doing? Get up!” Lei Zhen roared angrily. However, in this way, the sword on his neck was embedded deeper with the blood flowing more.
He gulped.
“Prime Minister, are you still unwilling to admit the truth?”
More and more people knelt down.
The officials following Lei Zhen were in a state of fear. Before they could recover from their joy, they fell into a state of grief.
They were on the decline now.
So they knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowing constantly.
“Your Majesty, we’re all deceived by Prime Minister, not by this old bastard Lei Zhen. We have never had the intention to rebel.”
“Your Majesty, please give me a chance. I’m forced to do so. Please forgive me.”
……
For an instant, the sound of these people kowtowing echoed through the sky.
Lin Qingye sneered. These people really knew how to act according to circumstances. Ke Ruan had given them a chance back then. As long as they were willing to admit it, he would protect them.
In the end, they all betrayed him.
Ke Zhan looked at these old ministers and was disappointed. “Bring them back for me and let them explain everything clearly to me.”
“Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me.”
“I’m guilty, please forgive me, your Majesty.”
……
Ke Zhan looked at the surrendered soldiers and said, “I always fit my deeds to my words. You all followed Lei Zhen’s orders. Now that you have surrendered, I will not make things difficult for you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness.”
Lei Zhen suddenly laughed. “Do you guys think I only have this one way? Even if I die, I will still take someone to die with me. Ke Ruan must die.”
Lin Qingye said, “You can be assured, Prime Minister.”
With Qi Cheng beside him, Ke Ruan would be fine. In addition, Si Yuhan was also extraordinary.
Instantly, the news that Prime Minister had been charged of rebellion spread all over the Red Flame Country, and all the officials led by him were arrested and imprisoned.
Back in the capital city, those ministers who followed Lei Zhen’s orders confessed what had happened that year, naturally included the false accusation of the Qi family’s rebellion.
Ke Zhan immediately wrote a letter of apology and admitted the wrong sentence to the Qi family’s case back then, and cleared their names.
As well as those people who got implicated by that case at that time. Ke Zhan resumed their innocence too, and reinstated them.
Back then, when the prosperous Qi family was set up by Lei Zhen, the whole family was almost extinct.
Ke Zhan had not been in office for a long time, so he needed to establish his prestige. Therefore, when Lei Zhen’s team put all the evidence in front of him, he gave the order without hesitation, and never thought about the possibility of framing.
He killed a loyal minister because of blindness, which had hurt the feelings of many other loyal ministers. This was the fact that he didn’t want to face since he ascended the throne.
When he learned that there was still someone living in the Qi family, Ke Zhan felt timid in his heart. He didn’t dare to face the descendants of such a loyal minister.
Especially under Lin Qingye’s narration, he got to know that everything his son had experienced in Qiao Mountain. His guilt towards Qi Cheng had reached the peak.
He gave Qi Cheng the honor that belonging to the Qi family and let him inherit his father’s title.
In the Golden Phoenix Palace, more than half of the ministers were missing. The mistakes committed by those people were no longer worthy of Ke Zhan’s forgiveness. It was also a good opportunity to solve the borers of the imperial court, so that the wise people could work more effectively for the country.
“Summon Weiyuan General Qi Cheng.”
