Prince Jing was a ruthless mastermind whose political acumen was every bit a match for the Yongzhao Emperor.
He never took a step without a purpose.
To directly force the Xie Clan to confess without even a shred of evidence could be called reckless to the extreme.
Yet, he had done precisely that.
Clearly, there was a hidden agenda behind his actions.
Zhao Yi simply stood by and watched his performance in silence.
The Xie Clan was an influential family with many branches.
Since Xie Wenyuan had managed to become the head of the Xie Clan and the master of the main household, he naturally was not going to be frightened by a single remark from Prince Jing.
"Your Highness, Director Lu is a close minister of His Majesty. How could our Xie Clan ever commit such a treasonous act?"
"If Your Highness has evidence to prove that Director Lu's disappearance was the work of the Xie Clan, I, Xie Wenyuan, will submit to whatever punishment you see fit."
