Chapter 191: The witchcraft case erupts, leaving Wu Cheng stunned

"By the Empress's imperial decree, Prince Rong is suspected of being involved in a witchcraft case; he should be executed for his crimes!"

Almost the moment Prince Rong was taken down, the palace guards received the imperial decree.

They rushed out of the palace on fast horses, heading straight for Prince Rong's mansion.

A large group of people flew out of the palace gate, heading toward Prince Rong's mansion with a murderous look; the murderous intent around them made the surrounding commoners feel a sense of shock.

Moreover, all the generals in the Changan army who belonged to Prince Rong's command were controlled at the first opportunity; the speed of their actions was staggering.

Prince Rong's mansion.

Wu Cheng was hugging a few young ladies, still enjoying the dance in the mansion, when the next second, the mansion gate was kicked open.

When many soldiers in black armor rushed into the mansion, Wu Cheng was stunned first, then flew into a rage.

"How bold, you dare to trespass into Prince Rong's mansion; how many heads do you have to be chopped off?"

Wu Cheng slapped the table, his face full of anger.

Li Long sneered and waved his hand. "Prince Rong is involved in a witchcraft case; take them all down!"

Before Wu Cheng could react, he was taken down by the guards without any politeness.

Wu Cheng was instantly dumbfounded.

What's the situation?

Didn't Father go into the palace to find the Empress to make a decision and seek justice? How come the whole family has been taken down?

"Slander!"

"What witchcraft? My Prince Rong's mansion knows nothing about it; if you want to arrest people, there must be solid evidence!"

Wu Cheng was held down but shouted loudly.

Li Long was not panicked in the slightest, only saying to his subordinates, "Search, don't let go of any place in Prince Rong's mansion, especially under the beds and various hidden locations!"

Following the order, the palace guards scattered.

Li Long also ran into the courtyard; he looked left and right, picked up a shovel, and aimed at a spot to dig.

Afterward, he looked left and right again, and his trusted aides immediately looked into the distance, confirming that there was no one in the courtyard.

He took out a cloth doll covered with silver needles from his robe, threw it into the pit, and then shouted, "Sure enough, this Prince Rong is truly bold; he actually dares to cast spells to curse the Empress!"

"With this ironclad evidence, how can he argue!"

Behind him, Wu Cheng's eyes widened; he looked incredulous.

He is still here; are you sure you didn't take the cloth doll out of your bosom and throw it into the pit?

Is slander this undisguised?

Wu Cheng's body trembled with anger.

A figure suddenly flashed through his mind—it was Gao Yang's face.

He dared to conclude that this was absolutely Gao Yang's method!

In all of Changan, there is no one else as shameless and vicious as Gao Yang!

Li Long took out the cloth doll covered with silver needles and sneered coldly, "Heir Wu, with ironclad evidence, how can you still argue?"

Argue?

Ironclad evidence?

This is too insulting; the entire courtyard is tens of meters wide and long, and in such a wide place, you dug it up with one shovel?

Pfft!

Wu Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood from anger and fainted directly.

Li Long sneered and said, "The Heir saw the ironclad evidence and couldn't argue, so he felt guilty and spat blood; this is an admission of guilt."

"Take him down, throw him into the Heavenly Prison!"

Soon, the entire Prince Rong's mansion was controlled, Wu Cheng was thrown directly into the Heavenly Prison, and the other servants were not allowed to leave Prince Rong's mansion.

All of this still needs to wait for the morning court session tomorrow to be convicted.

Even Wu Zhao needs to give the people of the world an explanation.

Li Long looked at the prosperity of Prince Rong's mansion and said righteously, "Concentrate all these servants and guard them; interrogate them strictly. All this silver belongs to the Empress alone; whoever dares to embezzle even a cent, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"I have always been at odds with corruption!"

Outside Prince Rong's mansion.

Mr. Chen had just gone out for a trip, and from far away, he saw the palace guards rushing toward Prince Rong's mansion.

"What's the situation?"

"In less than an hour, something happened to Prince Rong?"

He immediately took a detour and hid himself.

At the same time.

Lu Zhen was also full of murderous intent, followed by thousands of troops, appearing on the major streets of Changan.

He and Lu Yourong had just arrived at the mansion when they received Wu Zhao's secret decree; this secret decree gave him a fright, and he didn't dare to delay, immediately entering the military camp.

When the news that Wu Long had been taken down arrived, he and Qin Zhenguo immediately led a large number of people to control Changan, strictly preventing Prince Rong's party from causing trouble in secret, and arrested people according to the list!

"This brat is truly ruthless, and Prince Rong is unlucky; who should he not provoke, but he had to provoke this brat!"

"This time, I'm afraid the entire family is in danger!"

Lu Zhen looked toward the Imperial Palace, unable to help but click his tongue.

Clearly, there is no turning back; once Prince Rong is taken down, the rest is conviction and cleaning up, giving the people of the world an explanation.

Although he knew Gao Yang's methods were endless, he was also a bit curious; after all, Prince Rong had been through fire and water for Da Qian, pacified the world, and had great merit.

Plus, the Empress had just ascended the throne not long ago; if this were handled poorly, it would greatly affect Wu Zhao's reputation.
