Chapter 197: The evidence is there! Why wait?
Liu Mang's eyes were full of excitement, and he seemed to hear the cheers of the people and a faint sound of music.
But he couldn't hear clearly.
“Bang!”
A very obvious snapping sound was heard.
All the scenes in front of Liu Mang seemed to disappear, leaving only the bloody head.
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down at this moment.
Hahahaha, hahahahahaha!
He laughed out loud in his heart, as if he wanted to integrate all the forbearance and calculations of these years into the smile.
He shook his head.
Lin Congyan, Lin Congyan, you were born into a good family, why do you have to be so pretentious and self-righteous?
If it weren't for the old Marquis Lin supporting the Lin family, people like you who only have good looks would have died countless times. How could you be qualified to serve in the same court with me?
So what if he had a good father? He still fell into my trap, got trampled under my feet, and his body was torn apart...
When Liu Mang thought of this, he felt an indescribable joy emanating from his whole body.
If the occasion was right, he would definitely give the once arrogant Lin family a proper "greeting".
Thinking back on everything he had done, his memory went back to the night when Chunqin came to Liu's house to find him.
That stupid woman was obviously only one step away from sending Lin Congyan to jail, but she was greedy and even tried to blackmail me for greater benefits.
Anyway, the plan has been completed, and it doesn’t matter whether Haruko is alive or dead.
If Chunqin died, Lin Congyan would be charged with another crime.
Why not?
He would never keep anyone who threatened him.
The greed of mankind is like a snake swallowing an elephant... Liu Mang raised the corner of his mouth:
"Chunqin, it's worth it that you helped me plot against Lin Congyan."
"One life for another. I took your life, so naturally I must give you another."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mang realized that something was wrong.
What did you say just now?
No, he didn’t say it. Is that what he really thinks?
“Bang!”
Just as his thoughts fell into chaos, a snap of fingers sounded out of nowhere, very clearly.
Liu Mang was stunned. Before he could react, Lin Congyan's head disappeared out of thin air.
The bright red blood seemed to evaporate and disappear.
Instead, there were strange looks from the surrounding people, and Lin Congyan was escorted to the ground with an angry look on his face.
Behind Lin Congyan, officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple were looking at him with extremely shocked eyes.
The people were whispering, and the contemptuous looks and the sounds of heated discussion fell on his ears like thunder.
This...what is going on, is he dreaming?
No, this is just a dream. Lin Congyan is dead, dead!
The sound of people pointing and talking rang in my ears, accompanied by the sound of a flute.
But Liu Mang could no longer hear. There was only a buzzing sound in his ears, and the whole world was spinning.
No!
It shouldn't be like this!
In an instant, he seemed to realize something and slowly turned around.
His gaze passed through the noisy crowd and fell on a pair of eyes as clear as water in the distance.
The girl in green clothes stood alone, with a smile in the corners of her eyes, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Everything around him suddenly became quiet, and Liu Mang's heart finally calmed down.
He saw it.
He saw the insight and cunning in Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
She exuded a confidence that made her prey seem like she had it in her grasp.
The reason why Liu Mang could see this was because he once had this kind of confidence.
No, not ever.
It was a quarter of an hour ago.
"Who are you? Why do you know secret techniques?" Liu Mang murmured.
Yes, he has reacted.
The secret technique that he had always been proud of was defeated by an ignorant woman.
How is this possible?
In great surprise, Liu Mang didn't even realize that Lin Yangyang had already touched his side.
Even though his voice was very low, Lin Zhiqing could already understand his lip movements.
She did not respond, but looked up at Zhou Chongzheng, the Dali Temple Minister on the execution ground, and said loudly:
"Your humble servant, Lin Zhiqing, leads the entire family and begs Your Majesty to consider our humble wishes."
"Liu Mang, the general, has confessed his guilt, and I, the minister, have solid evidence in my hands."
"You disregard the country and the people and plot to murder an official appointed by the imperial court. This is a crime!"
"Disregarding the friendship of colleagues and excluding those who are different from you is a double crime!"
"Disregarding human ethics and taking human life lightly are the third sin!"
"There are witnesses and evidence, and Fourth Uncle has always been loyal. He has been framed and wronged."
"I implore Your Majesty to discern loyalty from treachery and restore the innocence of Fourth Uncle and the Lin family, upholding justice and fairness."
"I implore His Majesty to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and to uphold justice and fairness." Lin Congli knelt beside Lin Zhiqing, his body straight as a pine tree.
Zhou Chongzheng had already recovered from his shock.
At this moment, his face was serious and he did not speak, but looked at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch's chest rose and fell slightly. He never expected that such a thing would happen today.
He threw a look at Zhou Chongzheng, but the old fox Zhou Chongzheng pretended not to see it and threw the hot potato back to him.
The eunuch didn't dare to speak.
Are you kidding? The imperial edict clearly states that Lin Congyan is sentenced to immediate execution.
Now that the person has not been killed yet, Liu Mang from the Ministry of Public Administration has come out and confessed his crimes for no apparent reason.
The eunuch closed his eyes and tried to stay awake. He first glanced at Liu Mang, who was being held down by the Lin family and unable to move, and then looked at Lin Congli, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Lord Lin, this matter is of great importance. Please come with me to the palace. I will consult with the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before making a decision."
He didn't even look at Lin Zhiqing next to him. He flicked his whisk and two guards came forward, wanting to "invite" the two to get up from the ground.
He didn't seem to think that he would be rejected.
Lin Zhiqing frowned.
You can’t enter the palace this time!
The royal family originally wanted to wipe out the Lin family because of their father's treason, so how could they let go of such an opportunity so easily?
If they took the opportunity to attack Liu Mang, there would be no evidence against him, and the Lin family would still not be able to overturn the case, and they would still have to die.
She approached Lin Congli calmly, intending to remind him, but to Lin Zhiqing's surprise, Lin Congli spoke very straightforwardly:
"Eunuch, we have all the evidence, why are you waiting?"
"I can wait, but can Cong Yan wait?"
"My niece Zhiqing has been running around for days because of this matter. Can she wait?"
Lin Zhiqing was a little surprised when she heard this. She stopped before she could even finish the action she was reminding.
My uncle actually rejected the eunuch around the emperor!
This was something Lin Zhiqing had never dared to imagine before.
After all, according to etiquette, there was nothing wrong with what the eunuch said just now.
But this is not the only thing that surprised Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Congli straightened his back and spoke again, "You can ask Zhiqing, he is the leader of the Lin family. If she agrees to enter the palace, I have no objection."
This handed the initiative to Lin Zhiqing, and at the same time, he directly acknowledged Lin Zhiqing's identity as the boss in front of everyone!
This statement quickly caused an uproar.
