Chapter 416 The Tragedy of Great Prosperity!
etc!
When Jiang Yunhe thought of this, his thoughts became clear for a moment.
By the way, Lin Zhiqing is not here.
Even if Jiang Liuyun said those words, without Lin Zhiqing's presence, today's trial is doomed to be invalidated.
There is a chance, the Jiang family still has a chance!
At this moment, Jiang Yunhe no longer cared about his dignity.
He stood up and changed the subject, pointing directly at Lin Zhiqing:
"Jiang Liuyun was clearly tricked just now. How is his current state any different from Liu Mang's back then?"
"At this point, Zhiqing is not here, and you still think that Zhiqing is plotting against you. That's ridiculous!" Lin Congli waved his sleeves, obviously a little angry.
Jiang Yunhe was waiting for these words. He stood up suddenly.
"Since Lin Zhiqing is not present, you can't convict me!"
"You forgot what you just said: Lin Zhiqing can't come, so we have to uphold the original verdict!"
When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
That’s what they say, but the situation is different now.
With such an obvious crime laid out before him, no one would have the face to say such words.
But Jiang Yunhe grabbed this life-saving straw and held on tightly:
"Speak up, what you just said, do you think it doesn't count?"
He looked at Wang Yuan, clearly wanting Wang Yuan to come out and uphold justice.
Because it was Wang Yuan who said this just now.
Moreover, in this sudden situation, even the Minister of Justice, who has always wanted the Jiang family to die, dared not say anything, which shows how difficult the situation is.
Wang Yuan frowned and looked at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion with disgust, but he knew very well in his heart.
Jiang Yunhe clearly seized the loophole in what he had just said, so he was being aggressive.
But the current situation is that the Jiang family is guilty!
If we bypass Lin Zhiqing and directly declare the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion guilty on this point, we will definitely be attacked using the laws of Dasheng.
If the original verdict is upheld because Lin Zhiqing is absent, it would be like letting the culprit go.
This is definitely not possible!
No matter which option it is, it is not the best choice for him.
He couldn't find a perfect explanation for a moment.
Seeing Wang Yuan's silence, Jiang Yunhe stepped forward again: "Master Wang, you have always been self-disciplined and respectful. Now you want to go back on your word?"
He acted like the Marquis of Zhenyuan, as if he occupied the high ground.
Jiang Liuyun beside him was completely useless. He was still frightened by the dream and regretted what he had said.
Seeing the stalemate on the field, Yan Wu looked towards the door several times. He took a deep breath and looked at Wang Yuan:
"Wait for Lin Zhiqing, then wait for Lin Zhiqing, she will definitely arrive today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Lin family immediately echoed:
"Yes, she will come, she will!"
Jiang Yunhe frowned and looked at Jiang Liuyun.
This look was both a blame and an inquiry.
But Jiang Liuyun avoided Jiang Yunhe's gaze.
Because even Jiang Liuyun himself didn't know whether Lin Zhiqing was alive or dead.
When did he himself fall into a hypnotic dream?
The scene where he killed Lu Huai was so real, how could it be fake?
But if it wasn't fake, and Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing were really dead, then who hypnotized him?
He got into trouble, and it was a disaster that could destroy the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!
All kinds of emotions mixed together, making his mind very confused.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunhe withdrew his gaze, his heart filled with disappointment.
But for his own sake, and for the authority he had worked so hard to gain, he still had to speak:
"What a joke, Lord Wang! This trial was supposed to end right from the start. Why are you siding with the Lin family? What's your intention?"
It was not a good choice to offend Wang Yuan at this time, but Jiang Yunhe had served in the same court with Wang Yuan for so many years and knew that this person had a bad temper and was stubborn.
Once he makes up his mind, even ten oxen cannot pull him back.
In the current situation, anyone can see that Wang Yuan wants to find out the truth of the matter.
He is not like Zhou Chongzheng who is used by the Jiang family, nor is he like the Minister of Justice who has a grudge against the Jiang family and favors the Lin family.
His attitude was vague and he was clearly in a neutral state, only wanting to verify the case.
No matter how hard Jiang Yunhe tried, he couldn't win over such a person.
If the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is convicted today, then he will be dead the moment he steps out of this threshold.
So he didn't care about anything else and could only use the original laws to put pressure on Wang Yuan.
When Wang Yuan heard Jiang Yunhe accusing him of favoring the Lin family, he immediately stood up:
"Since I, Wang Yuan, took the position of Chief Censor, I have always respected the Emperor and Dasheng, and have never sided with either side."
"Marquis Zhenyuan, everyone has their own opinions on today's events. You know clearly what happened many years ago!"
"You are so stubborn and unyielding. It is truly a tragedy for Dasheng!"
When these words were spoken, it was almost as if the matter was brought to light.
The people below started talking.
"At this time, you are still finding fault with Lord Wang."
"The Lin family is wronged, Lin Congrong is wronged!"
"Zhenyuan Hou is actually this kind of person. I was wondering why Zhenyuan Hou rose to power as soon as Lin Congrong died."
"This ungrateful person is so shameless. Back then, Lin Congrong was very kind to the Jiang family and even betrothed his only daughter to a deputy general..."
Hearing the word "deputy general", Jiang Yunhe's eyes widened in anger and he looked at the person who had just spoken:
"Deputy General? What happened to the deputy general?"
"I have made countless military achievements and won countless battles to be promoted to the position of deputy general."
"Even everything I have today is what I deserve, not what Lin Congrong gave me!"
"Heh." Upon hearing this, the usually calm Lin Congli could not help but snort coldly, his hands shaking with anger.
"Jiang Yunhe, you are not unfamiliar with the ways to advance in the military, and you are also familiar with the official system of Dasheng."
"The position of deputy general in the army is only held by the sons of noble families who have made great contributions."
"Your family background wasn't prominent back then. If you hadn't joined the army and defied all odds, how could you, the son of a butcher, have become a deputy general?"
The butcher's son!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped in surprise.
Since Jiang Yunhe became the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the emperor personally ordered the rectification of his family tree in order to shut up the people.
Since then, no one dared to mention this matter.
Lin Congli was the most rule-abiding person. He always kept the laws of Dasheng in mind and respected the orders of the royal family.
Now that he said this, he was really angry.
When Jiang Yunhe heard this, he looked like a demon crawling out of the underworld, staring at Lin Congli with a sinister look.
He clenched his fists tightly. His past was exposed over the years, and all his pretense of decency fell apart at this moment.
He faintly heard the mockery.
No, that’s why the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion cannot fall.
He wants to kill everyone in the world who mocks his background!
Thinking of this, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and looked at Wang Yuan again:
"If Lin Zhiqing doesn't come, the original verdict should be upheld. I wonder who dares to convict me of a crime in the Zhenyuan Marquisate!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Some people were intimidated by Jiang Yunhe's aura, while others could not find any words to refute him for the time being.
Above the lobby, you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunhe curled the corners of his mouth.
So what if it was the Jiang family? Lin Zhiqing couldn't come anyway...
"Who said I couldn't come?"
A sudden female voice sounded, and the dead silence in the hall seemed to be torn open.
