Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 109: Defeated

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Bang!

Even the case of Qi Family was brought up. It was getting more and more serious.

Lei Zhen kowtowed while saying, “Your Majesty, I am deeply wronged.”

Ke Ruan sneered, “You are wronged? How about those more than 100 people in Qi Family? Aren’t they wronged? I need to ask you, our dear Prime Minister, that after doing all those things, aren’t you afraid in the night that they will come back after you?”

Lei Zhen suddenly stood up and looked at Ke Ruan. His eyes were almost popped out like he was treated so unjustly. He said word by word, “You Highness, I’m nothing but loyal to our country. You really hurt my feeling by saying that. Do you have any proof?”

Ke Zhan’s looked bad, too. He looked at Ke Ruan with worry and disappointment. Lin Qingye noticed this, but Ke Ruan looked like no one could stop him today.

“Of course I have proof.” Ke Ruan stood up, taking out from his sleeve those letters in which these officials admitted their crimes.

The eunuchs serving Ke Zhan went down the stairs, took the letters and presented to Ke Zhan.

When Ke Zhan opened it, he looked even angrier. He started to look at Ke Ruan in a warning way.

“Your Majesty, I want to know what exactly is the proof that the prince said.” Lei Zhen looked at the Emperor directly in the eye and said word by word.

Ke Zhan’s forced a smile, “Prime Minister, don’t take him seriously.”

Ke Ruan frowned and was somewhat panicked, “Father, I…”

“Don’t! Stop messing around. Just shut up!”

Ke Ruan suddenly looked at Lei Zhen. “What did you do?”

Pah!

Ke Zhan smashed his fist down the table and looked furiously at Ke Ruan, “I asked you to shut up!”

A shadow of a smile crept up Lei Zhen’s lips, but his face was filled with sorrow. “Your Majesty, I have been committed to serving the Red Flame Country, but now…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lei Zhen trembled as he stretched out his hands and took off his hat, “Your Majesty, please allow me to resign and go back to my hometown.”

Ke Ruan stared coldly at Lei Zhen. His actions were simply too disgusting.

At this moment, he realized that all the evidence had been changed. Good job! Indeed.

Ke Ruan looked at him in a neither humble nor pushy way, ” Prime Minister, I have to say that I underestimated you. You did a really good job here. But it doesn’t matter. The evidence is gone, but I still have witnesses.”

He pointed to the people kneeling on the ground. “They all admitted that they were following your orders.”

“Son, shut up! I’m not going to say that again.”

Ke Ruan looked at Ke Zhan with red eyes. “Father, I’ve already got the truth. They all admitted it.”

“Your Majesty, We never admitted anything. This is insane. We won’t admit to things that we didn’t do.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty, we are falsely accused.”

“We sweared to be devoted to the Red Flame country. How could we possibly do such things like the prince said?”

……

Everyone withdrew their confession. Ke Ruan looked at them with his heart beating so fast and his eyes filled with contempt, ” You did say this the other day.”

Now, how could he not understand? Ke Ruan looked at Lei Zhen and chuckled coldly, “Good move!”

Lei Zhen straightened up and said, “I don’t understand. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why do you have to frame me?”

Lin Qingye hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, the prince…”

Ke Ruan said sternly, “Lin Qingye, shut up! What I do, what I said, they all have nothing to do with you.”

“You all just shut up. Son, what’s this place? It’s not somewhere you can mess around and make irresponsible remarks.”

“Father, I didn’t…”

Ke Zhan said sternly, ” The prince has gone crazy. Bring him to the royal doctor to give him a thorough check.”
