first minister

Chapter 262 Confrontation in Court
Above the hall, the prince said coldly: "Since it is a public trial, if you have testimony, you can say it, and if you have evidence, you can show it. Why do you say it later?"

Zhongshu's assistant frowned, "His Royal Highness."

The prince's voice turned cold, "Since you still know that Gu is the prince, you should know that today's presiding judge is Gu! Retire Gu! You are just here to listen, and you have no place to speak here!"

Zhongshu Shilang hesitated to speak, but finally had no choice but to sit back on the chair.

The prince looked at Xia Jingyun, and his tone eased, "Xia Jingyun, just say what you have to say, I'm alone here, don't say anything else, it's okay to let you speak freely!"

No matter whether Xia Jingyun can say one, two, three in the end, he must grasp this last straw, because everything will not be worse than the result just now.

Xia Jingyun smiled when he heard the words, it seems that His Royal Highness is not stupid, he still knows how to seize the opportunity that should be seized, and also knows how to raise the banner that should be raised.

With the banner of the presiding judge, let alone a Zhongshu servant, even if Prime Minister Qin came in person, he would be able to withstand the pressure for himself.

After all, this is related to his own future, and he may be able to spare everything except his life.

Qin Sichao suddenly smiled at this time, "Gao Yang, I don't know why you believe that I am the mastermind behind killing Brother Qin, but you are not afraid of being crooked, so you can show any evidence you have, I am quite curious of."

Dazong was looking at Xia Jingyun who was about to speak, but a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Will His Majesty, who has already made arrangements for today's affairs, tolerate him being such a mess?
Will someone be sent to stop him?
-
"His Majesty!"

Jin Zhong walked quickly in small steps, entered the Qianyuan Hall, and knelt down on the ground.

Emperor Chongning, who was still leaning on his books like a boneless one, raised his head and said calmly, "Is it over with the Ministry of Punishment?"

Jin Zhong didn't even dare to raise his head, "The three divisions interrogated and agreed on the crimes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Just as the Dazong of Zongzheng Temple was about to take action, Xia Jingyun, the younger brother of Concubine De, came out and identified Qin Sichao, the son of Prime Minister Qin, as the culprit. Opposition from all sides Among them, His Royal Highness, as the chief interrogator, agreed to his request, and is now confronting him."

Emperor Chongning sat up quietly, his face became a little gloomy, "Xia Jingyun?"

Jin Zhong knelt on the ground and dared not say anything.

This matter is too big. Although he has a good impression of Xia Jingyun, he dare not defend him at this moment.

Emperor Chongning said coldly: "Jin Zhong, hurry to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, tell King Qi, and let him act according to the plan. But those who stop him will all go to prison!"

Before the words were finished, a voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, De Concubine please see me."

"not see!"

Emperor Chongning was furious and waved his hand directly.

At this moment, Gao Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, could it be that Mr. Xia's move was ordered by Empress De Fei?"

Emperor Chongning frowned, thought about the pros and cons, and shook his head, "Concubine De would act like this inappropriately. There must be a reason for this."

When these words came out, Emperor Chongning himself hesitated for a moment, then changed his words: "Let her in."

Concubine De walked in slowly, glanced at Jin Zhong who was kneeling on the ground, and saluted the emperor.

Emperor Chongning remained calm, "Aifei, come here at this moment, do you have something to do?"

Concubine De nodded, took out a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Emperor Chongning, "Gao Yang sent me a handwritten letter early this morning, saying that the situation was urgent and it was too late to ask for an order to enter the palace to report to His Majesty, so I asked The concubine brought it here, and the concubine thought that he had just finished the Chunwei exam yesterday, and he should have rested but acted like this, there must be something inside, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and came forward to report to His Majesty."

Emperor Chongning stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and took a look, his expression immediately became dignified after just one glance.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, as if he was weighing things up, and finally waved his hand, "Jin Zhong, there's no need to go."

In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Xia Jingyun listened to Qin Sichao's words and nodded with a smile, "That's right, this is the Mr. Qin in my impression. He is not surprised by favor or humiliation, and is as gentle as jade. Since Mr. Qin has said so, I will talk about it first." My guess."

Qin Sichao smiled, "It's just a guess, is it appropriate to say it here?"

"Let's talk about it first. Isn't everyone's remarks to His Highness the Crown Prince just now just guesses?"

Xia Jingyun also smiled, and defended the prince again, and then said: "The wealth of the Qin family is the highest in the world, and it is a powerful boost to any force, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is no exception. There is an advantage that no one else can compare to, that is, the Xiangfu and the Qin family belong to the same surname of Qin. Although they are not of the same clan, it is much more convenient than others. Think of a way to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, and then Li Daitao froze. Stealing the Qin family's foundation, outsiders can't stop it even if they want to."

Xia Jingyun's words pointed out the mystery, which moved many people's hearts. Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, but they forgot to stop it.

"However, in the early years, the Prime Minister's Mansion tried such a method, but Fengyang Gong is not stupid, and he doesn't accept the fault of the same clan at all. Therefore, the Prime Minister's Mansion can only find another way out. But the forces in Zhongjing City are basically They are all stable and familiar, so it is difficult to stir up disputes. Unfortunately, this unlucky guy went to Beijing."

Because of the family ugliness of the old Patriarch Qin, Xia Jingyun temporarily concealed his plan against the Shi family and jumped directly to the main topic.

"Thus, Mr. Qin personally arranged for me to have a conflict with Mr. Qian because of the death of a brothel girl in Fenghe Pavilion, and it was a conflict that was known to the entire Zhongjing City. As for the owner of Fenghe Pavilion, it is the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion. Instigated, let me have a conflict with Mr. Qian, the Black Ice Terrace should have a conclusion, is the evidence convincing?"

In the eyes of everyone, the head of the Black Ice Terrace, Xuanhu, had no choice but to nod.

Xia Jingyun continued: "Mr. Qian is arrogant and arrogant. He fought me for two rounds. Everyone here must know the inside story. But just lost two rounds and lost a little money. It is against the wealthiest Qin family. It's not a difficult situation at all, so I was assassinated on the way out of the palace for no reason. It involved the life and death of swordsmen, and this matter suddenly became a big deal."

"At the beginning, everyone thought that Mr. Qian was the mastermind who assassinated me, but three days later, Mr. Qian died on the street. While clearing him of his suspicions, he instantly pushed the Qin family into an extremely dangerous situation. At this time, it was It's time for Mr. Qin to go out."

"When Empress Defei and many people who are willing to help put pressure on the Qin family, Xiangfu appeared as a savior and proposed to the Qin family to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, and then Xiangfu can help the Qin family to avenge. Fengyang Gong! "

Xia Jingyun turned to look at the old Patriarch Qin, "I don't know if this junior can guess correctly, but is there such a thing?"

The old Patriarch Qin showed amazing acting skills at the critical moment. Hearing this, he was startled for a moment, then seemed to be taken aback, and then nodded suspiciously, "It is indeed true."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts. This thread seems to make perfect sense!

"Hehehehe!"

At this moment, Qin Sichao suddenly laughed lightly, shook his head and said: "I thought that Gao Yang would be stunning only when he was shocked, his talent was overwhelming, and if he stood out from the crowd, he must have some lofty remarks. I never thought that it was just such shallow words."

"What you said just now is based on speculation. If you say something like this, I can make up three or five different stories for you on the spot. Is this a prudent attitude in judging cases?"

"The only fact in your words just now is the matter of the Fenghe Pavilion, but why is it me behind the owner, instead of His Royal Highness as I said before, or is it you?"

Qin Sichao was worthy of being the No. [-] son of Zhongjing, he easily refuted Xia Jingyun's remarks just now, and changed the direction of a group of people who had originally supported him.

Xia Jingyun didn't panic at all, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I just explained the cause and effect clearly, to let everyone know that you are not completely unrelated to this matter, and you just have sufficient motives. As for the truth of this fact!"

Xia Jingyun turned around and bowed to the crown prince on the stage, "His Royal Highness, I invite someone to assist me. It only takes three steps to find out the real culprit!"

The prince looked at him without hesitation, "Sure!"
