In the prison, a Beiman admitted to the crime, claiming it was he who killed General Meng, and confessed that he was a spy placed in the Sixth Prince Mansion by the Great King. The purpose of killing General Meng was to prevent the alliance between the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince, thereby harming the Great King's interests. The Second Prince was furious and chopped him to death on the spot. Xie Jue was baffled, wondering how someone could have confessed.
Clearly, it was he who had killed General Meng, and with General Meng dead, this matter would never end well. Why would someone confess to the crime? This had somewhat disrupted Xie Jue's plans.
