When the white cloth was completely spread out, all the civil and military officials in the court could see clearly what was on it.
It was a blood oath, written in blood by the people of Yanzhou.
Imperial Censor Zhou said to Emperor Wenxuan, "Your Majesty, this is a petition written in blood by countless Yanzhou citizens. It is their voice. The people of Yanzhou were able to survive this disaster safely because of the second-in-command of the Lei family, and now this second-in-command of the Lei family is to be beheaded. Upon learning of this, the people of Yanzhou petitioned and wrote this petition in blood."
"Who is the second in command of the Lei family?" asked Emperor Wenxuan.
Even if I've guessed it.
"It is this child's mother, Mu Zhitao. She gave away all her family fortune and, after the catastrophe, spent the entire night devising a solution. How could someone with such a heart for the world be the one who brutally murdered the Zhang family? Your Majesty, I beg you to examine this matter with your own eyes."
At this moment, a young eunuch secretly gave the chief steward a look. The chief steward quietly walked down and returned to his original position after hearing the eunuch's words.
He whispered beside Emperor Wenxuan, "Your Majesty, a document has arrived from Yuzhou at full speed."
"Pass it up."
"pass."
A eunuch came up hurriedly carrying something. The chief steward walked down the steps and opened the box. When he saw what was inside, his pupils shrank.
"What is it?"
The chief steward took out the things and hurriedly handed them to Emperor Wenxuan.
Emperor Wenxuan spread it out and saw that it was another letter written in blood, another letter asking for the life of the second in command of the Lei family.
Emperor Wenxuan's face looked a little ugly, not because of the blood letters, but because of the dirty things in the Ministry of Justice.
"My dear ministers, come and take a look. This is something the people of Yuzhou sent me."
Emperor Wenxuan stood up and spread out the blood letter.
All the civil and military officials in the court looked at the blood letter with complicated expressions.
It was not easy for the people of a state to plead for her.
It is rare that people from another state now speak up for her.
At this moment, there was a noise outside, and Emperor Wenxuan said directly, "Send the messenger in directly."
After a while, a young man with a haggard, pale face and disheveled clothes walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."
"What did you bring?"
The man trembled as he spoke, "I have come here to carry the wishes of the people of Jingzhou. I have traveled day and night, and fortunately, I have lived up to the expectations of the people of Jingzhou and arrived before my benefactor was executed."
The man took something out of his arms, and everyone saw the blood writing again.
The blood-written letter was so moving that someone recognized the words.
Emperor Wenxuan also thought it looked familiar, "Who wrote this book?"
"Fang Jingxuan, Mr. Fang."
The ministers below began to whisper.
"It's him, after all."
Fang Jingxuan was a great scholar in the Jingzhou area and also in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Emperor Wenxuan tried to summon Fang Jingxuan to serve as an official in the court several times, but he refused, preferring a life of leisure and tranquility.
He actually wrote this blood oath with his own hands, which carries a lot of weight.
Tang Jingyu's face turned ugly. He never expected that something like this would happen today.
He absolutely did not believe that this was a coincidence.
The fourth prince Gu Fanzhi's heart was beating fast, and he couldn't help but look at Tang Jingyu.
Although he did not take action this time, he knew very well who was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
