The henchmen of the imperial court...Master Situ...someone is scolding you!
Xiao Chen complained in his heart, glanced at Situ Wuming, and then continued:
"Without any evidence?"
"Lord Wei, what evidence do you have to prove that I have no basis for anything?"
When Xiao Chen said this, everyone was dumbfounded!
His words were simply sophistry to the extreme.
It has the same function as the rat head and duck neck in the previous life.
“You…you…”
Wei Shuping's fingers trembled with anger as he looked at Xiao Chen and angrily shouted, "Arresting someone requires evidence. When did the laws of our Great Zhou allow arrests without evidence?"
Wei Shuping was so angry that he was confused!
He actually repeated what he said before.
"Okay, then I'll ask Lord Wei, since Lord Wei's accusation of me arresting people is groundless and unfounded, I don't trust you."
"I have evidence in my hand. Lord Wei, do you dare to take over my arrest?"
"Give justice to those you say have been wronged by this king?"
Seeing that the time was almost right, Xiao Chen took out a memorial from his sleeve and waved it in front of Wei Shuping.
Immediately, both the Crown Prince and King Jing, who were just watching the show, felt something was wrong.
Given Wei Shuping's personality, if he took on the demon blood case, he would definitely go on a killing spree.
By then, the forces of both of them will definitely suffer a severe blow.
"His Majesty..."
"I think it's inappropriate!"
King Jing raised his head and saluted Emperor Jing of Ming.
"I also think it's inappropriate."
"Aren't we here today to discuss Ninth Brother's crimes?"
"Why did we get off topic during the discussion?"
Crown Prince Xiao Ming also stepped forward to stop them immediately.
"I think what the prince said makes sense!"
"I second the motion and ask Your Majesty to punish the Ninth Prince."
....
As soon as Prince Jing Wang appeared, many of their followers hurriedly stepped forward and started to speak.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."
“The sage said: ‘Raise the straight and set it aside for the crooked; this is how the crooked can be made straight.’ [Quote: The Analects of Confucius, Yan Yuan]”
"Since many of you have expressed dissatisfaction with the Ninth Prince's investigation into the demon blood smuggling case, let Lord Wei, a man of integrity, conduct the investigation."
"It will surely convince the officials in the court."
Just when the court was in a one-sided situation, Shangguan Yi stood up again, saluted and began to speak.
"I second the motion!"
"I thought that Lord Wei was investigating the case, and we are relieved."
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
In an instant, more than a dozen officials stood up to support Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled: "Master Wei, do you dare to accept it?"
The wind direction in the court changed again.
Both the Crown Prince and King Jing looked rather unhappy.
"I second this motion!"
At this time, next to the first row, Minister of Works Tang Yuanming stood up and saluted Emperor Jing of Ming.
"Why is it him?"
In an instant, both the Crown Prince and King Jing were shocked! !
They didn't expect that a second Shangshu would come out and stand on Xiao Chen's side.
At once, more than a dozen officials knelt down.
At this moment, about two-thirds of the officials were already kneeling in front of the Qianyuan Hall.
Seeing Wei Shuping remained silent, Xiao Chen added fuel to the fire:
"Your Majesty, the Demon Blood Case has been solved!"
"This memorial mentions the many powerful people involved in the Demon Blood Case."
"They range from royal relatives to low-ranking officials of the ninth rank, totaling nearly 420 people, both great and small."
"Combining their families, relatives, friends, criminals, smugglers, and insiders, the number is already in the thousands!"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll torture you into confessing?"
"Come on!"
"Someone, have you taken this confession?"
Xiao Chen exploded!
Everyone was shocked for a moment!
He pointed at the Minister of Justice Cai Kun standing next to him and shouted:
"Minister Cai, do you dare to answer it?"
With a bang, Cai Kun fell to his knees, trembling all over.
"Minister Guo?"
Guo Lin knelt down...
Dali Temple?
The Dali Temple Minister knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
For a moment, the entire Qianyuan Hall fell silent.
"No one dares to answer?"
"Then I will call your name!"
Xiao Chen stood in front of Wei Shuping, opened the memorial, cleared his throat and said:
"Marquis Ningnan... Ning Yu!"
Wow!
In an instant, Ning Yu knelt on the ground with a horrified expression.
"Minister of Works, Tang Yuanqing!"
Tang Yuanqing screamed and knelt down quickly.
"Yuan Qing? How is this possible?!"
Tang Yuanming was horrified when he saw Tang Yuanqing kneeling on the ground!
"Princess Yunyang's consort, Young Master, Xia Xingdong!"
"Wang family, Wang Qing!"
.....
Every time Xiao Chen revealed a name, someone would kneel down.
The whole process is like being called out by the King of Hell, a death spiral.
At this moment, everyone in the Qianyuan Hall felt insecure.
Afraid that it would point at me.
"Master Wei, do you dare to answer?"
After Xiao Chen mentioned these names, he suddenly closed the memorial and looked straight at Wei Shuping and said.
No one dares to answer!
Xiao Chen held up the memorial and read each word clearly.
At this time, except for Xiao Chen standing,
In the first row, there are only Situ Wuming and the chief minister of the cabinet Lin Yanfu left!
But at this moment, the two of them stood there like sculptures, tacitly not saying a word.
"Since... no one dares to answer."
"I'll let Xiaojiu..."
Emperor Ming Jing raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
Even he was surprised that Xiao Chen had investigated the demon blood case so clearly in such a short time.
"Your Majesty, no!"
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince cannot investigate this case."
"He has not been cleared of suspicion."
At this time, Lu Dingzhi stood up again and stopped him.
"You are wrong, old man."
"I believe that it is appropriate for Your Highness the Ninth Prince to do this."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Xiao Chen's right side.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw that the chief minister of the cabinet, the handsome old man Lin Yanfu, actually spoke!
He also defended Xiao Chen.
???
Xiao Chen himself was confused!
When did Lin Yanfu become willing to speak up for himself?
After he spoke, the effect was exceptionally good!
"I am willing to accept it!"
Behind Xiao Chen, Wei Shuping spoke! !
"I am willing to take this case!"
"I am willing to risk my entire life's reputation to thoroughly investigate this case!"
"If I don't investigate this thoroughly, I will never serve as an official again in this life!"
Wei Shuping's voice was low but powerful.
It’s over! !
Crown Prince Xiao Ming, King Jing, and King Yu all wailed inwardly.
While Xiao Chen was investigating the case, they could still chatter a bit.
But Wei Shuping investigated the case,
They had no way of arguing at all.
"good!!"
"Xiao Chen stepped forward and listened to the seal!"
"Xiao Chen was promoted to the rank of Second-Class Prince and given the title of Wu..."
King Wu? ! !
I have a banned account?!
