Chapter 203: Confrontation! Debate with the Ministers



Lu Yun knew that this guy was waiting for him here.

He was not panicked at all. He directly took out a piece of cloth from his arms. There were densely written words on it, and there were also conspicuous handprints among them. It seemed like there were a lot of them.

"Don't you want evidence? Here's the evidence! This is the petition written by the people of Ninglan County!"

"Isn't the Book of All Peoples evidence? Doesn't the Book of All Peoples prove that this county magistrate is corrupt and abuses his power, oppressing and exploiting the people?"

"Then may I ask, in the eyes of Prime Minister Yang, what exactly constitutes exploiting the people? What constitutes evidence?"

"I only know that this matter has made the people very angry!"

"This eunuch only knows that if the county magistrate, his son, and those officials are escorted to the capital, perhaps someone will protect them and they may not make any mistakes."

"This matter will never come to any conclusion, and they saw with their own eyes the execution of the county magistrate and his son!"

"Then they can get what they want, and they can feel at ease."

"Could it be that in Prime Minister Yang's mind, there is no truth in the people's book?"

Not afraid of what happened, Yang Zhong was immediately stunned.

It was very embarrassing. I was so confident at first, but I didn't expect that Lu Yun actually produced evidence, and it was the eye-catching Wanmin Book.

When something like this was brought out, there was really nothing I could say. His words were so confident and solemn that no one dared to question him.

"Do you think I shouldn't have killed him? Shouldn't I have killed him and his son? So what if I was an imperial official?

Even the ministers in your court, if they make any mistakes.

As long as we from the West Factory can find evidence against you, we will definitely kill you!"

"You all keep it a secret from His Majesty, you all try to cover it up, how long do you think you can keep this secret?"

They were all silent for a moment, feeling a little uneasy, after all, they were officials.

Which one of them is clean? I am afraid that even Prime Minister Wang An, who is wholeheartedly for the good of the Great Zhou, will not be clean at all.

When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Everyone knows this, so Lu Yun also has a bottom line.

As long as you don't do anything too excessive and everyone lives in peace, even if the emperor knows about it, he won't make it too embarrassing, of course.

If you make the emperor angry one day, it will naturally become a fuse.

Therefore, these ministers were also afraid of the Western Factory.

If the Western Factory was on the same front as these officials, then they naturally had nothing to worry about.

However, the Western Factory stood on the emperor's side, obeyed the emperor's orders, and ignored these officials.

It is even difficult to see them in person. They may even disguise themselves and appear in various places in your home. Who wouldn't be scared?

"Your Majesty, since the Book of All Peoples has been taken out, it means that everything Eunuch Lu said is true!"

"It seems that Eunuch Lu is truly serving the country and the people. However, we also need to find Wang Lei as soon as possible and confront him face to face to see if he really did this!"

"good."

Liang Jing agreed. After all, as the emperor, he was just sitting on the dragon throne watching the show.

See what the final result will be, and then you will make the final decision.

In the final analysis, this is actually a debate to see who can win the argument and who can ultimately take the initiative, and the emperor will favor that side.

Soon, Wang Lei, the commander of the Western Factory, was brought into the hall.

He looked a little nervous, looked at the ministers around him, and then looked at Lu Yun who was standing in the middle.

In fact, he had already anticipated that as long as Eunuch Lu came back, his position would be lost, so he had to make a choice at this time.

Should I return this position to the owner?

If he doesn't return it, he may suffer a series of retaliations, which will naturally make people depressed.

After all, it is really difficult to give up such a great power. First of all, you can't overcome your own psychology. Who can do it easily?

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

"No need to be polite!"

"Lord Wang, Eunuch Lu has something to ask you. You should tell him. I will be watching from the side."

Wang Lei was very nervous when he went up. He glanced at Lu Yun with some caution and asked quickly, "Eunuch Lu, you..."

"Wang Lei, who is your relationship to the Ninglan County Magistrate?"

Wang Lei's head immediately broke out in sweat and he looked very nervous, his eyes wide open, and he explained in a trembling voice.

"To answer your father-in-law, that is my uncle."

"Oh, you're incredible! Ever since he became the commander of the Western Factory, your uncle's true colors have been revealed. I heard that he was oppressing the people and exploiting them, but no one had discovered him."

"After all, that county is located in the capital, so news spreads quickly. He quickly learned about the Western Factory and quickly restrained himself, which is why we didn't find him."

"After you became the commander of the Western Factory, your uncle and his family revealed their true colors and continued to oppress the people and abduct women!"

"Are you responsible for this matter?"

"this……"

Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, then quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

"Eunuch Lu, I was wrong. I really didn't expect it to be like this."

"Really?! It's obvious that you are just protecting your family and relatives."

"If you hadn't said that, the people from the West Factory would have reported this matter to the rest of the West Factory."

"Do you think this matter can be kept secret?"

"After you became a commander-in-chief, you only cared about your own family. Have you ever thought about the people and how they lived?"

"People, what have you done to offend me? Just because of your words, they have suffered so much injustice."

Wang Lei has actually implicitly admitted that he was indeed involved in the cover-up of this matter. The county magistrate is also his uncle, so he certainly cannot escape the blame.

"Eunuch Lu, I was wrong."

"It's my fault. I protected my relatives. According to the rules of the Western Factory, I will be thrown into the Sky Prison."

"Eunuch Lu, I know I was wrong! I am willing to accept the punishment."

Hearing this, Lu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. This proved that Wang Lei had given up his power.

Seeing this, Liang Jing quickly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Wang Lei! As a commander, you are corrupt and have protected your relatives. I absolutely cannot tolerate this."

"You should give your position to Eunuch Lu. This position originally belonged to him. Besides, only he can be in charge of the real Western Factory and bring you guys back on track!"
