Before long, the two kings confessed to all their crimes, matching the records in the books down to the slightest detail—and even adding a few more. This included their dealings with King Zhen Bei and the interests involved.
Never mind whether the book recording King Zhen Bei's crimes was true or false; the things they had confessed alone were enough to have King Zhen Bei executed more than a dozen times over.
"Guards! Uproot King Zhen Bei's Mansion, King Nan Hai's Mansion, and King Feng Jiang's Mansion completely! From today onward, Yunzhou City will have only five great kings! Take these two away. Tomorrow, they will stand public trial in the Imperial City Plaza!"
After hearing their confessions, Nie Yun sealed the cultivation of the two men and had them taken away.
Even with conclusive evidence, dealing with the Three Great Kings required an explanation to the public. A public trial was the best method.
Soon, the palace guards received their orders and went to handle the matter, and the great hall fell silent once more.
The ministers who had previously wanted to make things difficult for the Crown Prince trembled nonstop, their faces deathly pale.
"Everyone..."
Nie Yun swept his gaze around the room.
"Your Highness!"
Everyone bowed at once.
Having witnessed his thunderous methods and strength, no one dared question him again. They trembled from head to toe in fear.
"I happened to find these things during my leisure time. You may as well take a look."
Ignoring their bows, Nie Yun smiled faintly and flicked his finger. Every one of the ministers who had tried to cause him trouble received a book.
"This is..."
They were still puzzled by his act of handing out books, but the instant they lowered their heads to look, every face changed.
