Chapter 69: The Grand Tutor and the Regent Support Each Other
Wen Changming's shrewd eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking deeply: "It seems that the Crown Prince's Consort is unaware of what your father did."
There was a hint of subtle anger in Su Luo's eyes as she clutched the silk tightly.
Even if everyone in the world said that her father was a traitor, she still didn't believe it.
How could a person who distributes porridge, builds charity halls to shelter the widowed, the orphaned and the weak, collaborate with the enemy?
How could a man who has guarded the land under his feet day and night for decades commit treason?
His father had sacrificed his life for this land and suffered countless injuries. How could he personally destroy something he had risked his life to protect?
Mo Jin stepped on Master Liu's heart, causing him to mouth a mouthful of blood!
Wen Changming's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly said, "Regent! Regent! Please show mercy!"
"Prime Minister Wen, your family has a good tradition. You have such a filial nephew! Come here! Why don't you quickly arrest Prime Minister Wen's good nephew and put him in jail and deal with him according to the law?" Mo Jin sneered and applauded.
Wen Changming was so angry that his chest felt like a heavy stone was pressing on it, and his face turned gloomy and ashen.
After Mo Jin said this, the people around him held their breath, knowing that this was a contest between the superiors.
When the big guys fight, the little guys suffer.
When Su Luo saw that Wen Changming was so angry but couldn't say a word, she suddenly felt relieved.
Now that his nephew had fallen into Mo Jin's hands, Wen Changming thought of his sister who was shedding tears. Looking at Master Liu lying in a pool of blood without any dignity, Wen Changming was so shameless that he said in silence for a long time:
"According to the Regent, what is the intended sentence?"
"Sentence as it should be." Mo Jin stared at Wen Changming's face and curled his lips. "Sentence severely, severely."
When Wen Changming heard these four words, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a dry and difficult voice:
"In your opinion, Your Highness, is there any room for change at this point? He is young and inexperienced. A small punishment, a big warning, will surely teach him a lesson and he will never make the same mistake again."
Everything can be negotiated. Even though the two of them don't get along, they can exchange interests.
As for turning things around, there is always room for turning things around.
Mo Jin sneered: "Officials' children should set an example. Prime Minister Wen's nephew is committing a crime against the wind, using your name, Wen Changming!"
He suddenly raised his voice and called out his full name. Wen Changming was shocked. Under Mo Jin's gloomy expression, he felt pressured and oppressed.
Many years ago, when Mo Jin was still Proton, his aura was far less than it is now. During those years, he was down and out, like a skinny monkey whose neck could be strangled in one blow.
Now……
When Mo Jin stood there, he had an innate kingly aura and an oppressive aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.
Moreover, he is cruel, brutal and domineering, like a madman. Once he bites someone, no one can get rid of him. The victim will either die or be injured.
To be honest, even Wen Changming, who had been in the court for many years, was a little afraid of him.
"What do you say?" Wen Changming asked with a slightly lacking confidence.
"Wen Changming! You raised a nephew like this, who committed a crime in defiance of the law. You must punish him severely to serve as a warning to others. If the punishment is too light, it will set a bad precedent."
Mo Jin tutted his words and said, "Why not just follow the law, three years in prison and a fine of four thousand taels of silver? What do you think, Prime Minister Wen?"
Since he said so, what else could Wen Changming say?
In front of Mo Jin, with so many people watching, it was impossible to show favoritism at all.
He felt like he was being roasted on a fire, and could only follow Mo Jin's words and earn a reputation for himself as impartial. However, doing so would surely chill his sister's heart.
It's really tricky.
Family on the left hand, reputation on the right.
If he couldn't protect the officials and the people, and Mo Jin caught him and used him to cause trouble, his reputation would be ruined. How would he protect his family in the future?
Although Wen Changming had offended Mo Jin many times before, today Mo Jin was like a firecracker. He couldn't remember how he had offended Mo Jin today?
Wen Changming could only grit his teeth and swallow his blood, suppressing his words: "Your Highness is right. Even though he is my nephew, if he breaks the law, he should..."
He looked deeply at the desperate Mr. Liu and said, "He should be severely punished..."
Young Master Liu could hardly believe that his uncle, who treated him like his own son, would abandon him and let him go to jail!
In an instant, despair and resentment welled up in Master Liu's eyes!
Wen Changming was irritated by this resentment. His nephew actually hated him? Would his sister hate him too?
But now that things have come to this...
Wen Changming still looked to Wen Zixi for his last hope.
If Wen Zixi felt that Mo Jin's sentence was too harsh and that he was using public power to settle personal grudges, he would also speak up.
So Wen Changming looked over as if asking for help...
"What do you think, Master?"
On the other side, Wen Zixi nodded and said, "I think the Regent made a good judgment."
"???" Wen Changming was shocked! He didn't believe that Wen Zixi couldn't see that Mo Jin was taking revenge on someone else! ?
Wen Changming doesn't remember offending Wen Zixi before, so why would he not even give him this little bit of face? What's going on?!
But Su Luo, who was standing aside, looked inexplicably better.
