He first saluted Emperor Chu respectfully, then turned to Chu Lang with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report. It concerns the truth behind Duke Dingguo's conspiracy to rebel!"
After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yunqi.
Curious, exploratory, and doubtful.
Ever since the Crown Princess announced that she wanted to marry Xie Yunqi as her husband, Xie Yunqi rarely attended court on time.
At the beginning, some people would impeach him, saying that he was not doing his job and was arrogant because of his favor.
Later, Chu Lang appeared and took over the power. Xie Yunqi even claimed to be sick and did not attend court, as if he was really immersed in the state of "waiting to be married", and gradually faded out of the center of power.
At this moment, he suddenly appeared in this tense court, and the first thing he said was the most sensitive issue at the moment, the "Duke Dingguo's Treason Case". How could this not arouse everyone's curiosity and inquiry?
When Chu Lang saw Xie Yunqi, he felt a vague sense of unease in his heart.
At this moment, Xie Yunqi faced the King of Chu directly, his voice clear and resounding.
"Your Majesty, Second Prince, I have come here today to expose this outright false accusation!"
He held up a document in his hand. "This is a copy of the Jingzhao Prefecture records. It clearly states that Chen Kang, the son of Censor Chen, lost 30,000 taels of silver in a single night at the Qianjin Pavilion gambling house on the 15th of last month and was subsequently held hostage by the gambling den. However, three days later, the Chen Mansion sent someone to pay off the entire gambling debt in one lump sum and redeem him."
"This one is a banknote from the Ministry of Revenue. It shows that on the same day Chen Kang was redeemed, a mysterious individual deposited a full 30,000 taels of silver into the name of Censor Chen's wife's nephew! The time and amount are so perfectly matched. How could such a coincidence exist?"
As soon as the evidence came out, Censor Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, and his pupils instantly dilated ten times!
There was a sudden gasp in the court.
"Thirty thousand taels! That's thirty thousand taels!"
"According to Censor Chen's salary, even in ten years, it would be impossible to save so much money!"
"This is already evidence of extremely suspicious circumstances."
At this time, Xie Yunqi took advantage of the victory and produced the most crucial evidence.
"As for the 'secret letter' and 'food inventory' in the Second Prince's hands, that's even simpler."
He pulled a few pages from his sleeve. "I happened to have a teacher from Censor Chen's residence who was expelled for making a mistake. He confirmed that Censor Chen had ordered him to imitate the handwriting of a general under the Duke's command and write certain 'documents.' This teacher happened to have drafts and practice drafts! After comparing them, the handwriting is exactly the same as the 'physical evidence' in the Second Prince's hand!"
With a bang, Censor Chen collapsed to the ground, his head buzzing.
At this moment, his mind was full of two words.
It’s over!
It's all over now!
