The next day, Li Ji went to the Ministry of Justice.
He was under orders to supervise the case of Liu Ze.
First, a large amount of illicit funds was discovered in a secret room in Liu Ze's study, along with a secret letter he had personally written to Xiao Hong.
Faced with ironclad evidence, Liu Ze lost his last shred of hope.
Dejectedly, he confessed to the entire process of colluding with the enemy and betraying his country.
It turned out that as early as five years ago, the West Liang people had secretly made contact with Liu Ze.
At that time, Liu Ze had not yet earned the Emperor's favor as he did now.
He had only managed to gain a precarious foothold in the court through the favor his sister enjoyed in the palace. Privately, many people mocked him, saying he had only become a court official through nepotism.
