Chapter 125: The right to report something based on rumors (first update!)

Views:

Great Qin Chaotang, Dingyang Hall!

Zhou Chi walked to the center of the court, with worry flashing in his eyes.

"Prince Zhou Chi, where is the letter from Zhou Tianyin?" Zhang Zhengdao, the imperial censor, looked at Zhou Chi.

Zhou Chi heard Zhou Tianyin mention that Wang Xiong killed Ying Sheng, but now, if he took out the letter, wouldn't he deliberately embarrass Wang Xiong

Although Zhou Chi calls Wang Xiong brother-in-law, the main reason is just because of his guilt for Wang Xiong in the past. In the past, Wang Xiong and his sister were separated at every turn, but later, Wang Xiong saved himself again and again, and even saved his sister regardless of life and death. Only then did Zhou Chi recognize Wang Xiong and was willing to help his sister and Wang Xiong rekindle their marriage, so he called him brother-in-law.

But Zhou Chi understood that her sister seemed to have her own plans. At least that day when Wang Xiong went to collect Zhendong City, her sister got what she wanted, and she didn't even want to wait for Wang Xiong, so she took her away.

Doesn’t my sister have Wang Xiong in her heart

The Human Emperor and his father asked his sister to truthfully write down the story of Ying Sheng's death. Will his sister take the risk of lying to the Human Emperor and his father to protect Wang Xiong

Zhou Chi looked worried. But this worried look was so happy in the eyes of the ministers.

Because all the ministers knew that Zhou Chi had been hanging out with Wang Xiong these days and had a very good relationship with Wang Xiong. Isn't Zhou Chi's concern about the facts in the letter a sign of concern? Zhou Chi is worried, isn't it Wang Xiong who is going to be unlucky

"Prince Zhou Chi! Where is the letter?" Zhang Zhengdao asked again.

Zhou Chi's face turned ugly for a while and he looked at Wang Xiong.

"Zhou Chi, bring out the letter!" Wang Xiong also said.

"Yeah!" Zhou Chi nodded with a complicated expression.

Soon, an envelope with a large number of runes on it was taken out.

"Give it to me!" Zhang Zhengdao said impatiently.

Zhou Chi was a little reluctant.

"Give it to him! Righteousness is right, and not everyone can confuse right and wrong!" Wang Xiong said with a faint smile.

Hearing Wang Xiong's words, Zhang Zhengdao's face turned ugly: "Wang Xiong, I hope you can still laugh later, hum!"

Zhang Zhengdao took the envelope.

"Doctor Yushi, before you open the letter, you have to check whether it is the letter from Zhou Tianyin. If it is not, tell him as soon as possible. Don't open the letter. You must read the contents before denying it!" Wang Xiong said calmly. .

"Deny it, it's you who denies it, Wang Xiong. I have already checked it. This letter contains the imperial censor's prohibition, and there is also a copy of the Southern King's prohibition. Do you want to send it to others to see?" Zhang Zhengdao said solemnly. .

"It's the best!" Wang Xiong nodded.

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at Wang Xiong coldly, then handed the envelope out and passed it around in the hall. After everyone confirmed that the letter had not been opened, it was returned to Zhang Zhengdao's hands.

In the main hall, half of the officials looked expectant. Only two people looked worried, one was Zhou Chi, and the other was Princess Qinghuan.

Princess Qinghuan bit her lip, looking worried.

"Sister Tianyin, you must never harm Wang Xiong!" Princess Qinghuan prayed silently.

"Bang!" "Tear!"

The restrictions on the envelope were unlocked, Zhang Zhengdao quickly tore open the envelope and took out the letter written by Zhou Tianyin inside.

"Master Yushi, could you please read out what Zhou Tianyin wrote? Let everyone know that my name is not something that can be slandered just by thinking!" Wang Xiong said.

"Okay, then listen carefully!" The imperial censor also said.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

"Zhou Tianyin, the Southern Prince of the Great Qin Kingdom, writes down the story of Ying Sheng's death here to inform the emperor and the world. On the top of the God's Tomb Mountain, when Ying Sheng was alive, the little girl watched with the eyes of the sky. At that time, Ying Sheng's side and Wang Xiong's side In the end of the conflict, Ying Sheng was subdued and trapped under the tiger. However, while Wang Xiong was practicing with the God's Tomb Flower, Ying Sheng used the gravity field to escape from the giant tiger. He carried two daggers in his hand to commit the murder, and stabbed Qinghuan County with one dagger. Lord, he was whipped away by Wang Xiong's long whip, another dagger was thrown out, and then shot back at himself, into the center of his eyebrows, killing himself with the blade, that's all!" Zhang Zhengdao read Zhou Tianyin's letter.

When they finished reading, all the ministers and relatives of the Ying family in the hall had their expressions stiff.

Throw the dagger, shoot it back at yourself, stick it between your eyebrows, kill yourself by playing with the edge? What does this mean? Does this mean that Ying Sheng threw a dagger and stabbed himself to death

"This is not true. It was Wang Xiong who killed my son. It was Wang Xiong. Zhou Tianyin was protecting Wang Xiong. What she said cannot be believed, cannot be believed!" Ying Fen suddenly shouted in shock and anger.

"Zhou Tianyin deliberately protected Wang Xiong?"

"How could Zhou Tianyin write such a thing? How could Ying Sheng throw a dagger and stab himself to death? Is this obviously a lie?"

"This is impossible, Zhou Tianyin's words cannot be believed!"

… … … …

… … …

… …

Suddenly there was a sound of resistance in the hall.

But Zhou Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, showing a hint of excitement.

"Prince Zhou Chi, why are you laughing?" Zhang Zhengdao looked at Zhou Chi angrily.

"Doctor Yushi, what does it have to do with me? I didn't see Wang Xiong kill someone. You don't want me to help you perjury, do you? My sister told the truth. You go to Wang Yongbian. You don't care whether I laugh or not. ?" Zhou Chi laughed calmly.

Not far away, Princess Qinghuan also widened her eyes: "Sister Tianyin, you are so smart!"

Because Zhou Tianyin didn't lie. That was the situation at that time. He just didn't describe why the dagger could shoot back. How did it come back? Although Princess Qinghuan also knows the reason, I can choose not to say it.

For a moment, Princess Qinghuan was inexplicably excited. As a result, Zhang Zhengdao could not use witness as an excuse to deal with Wang Xiong.

"Reserved!" Su Dingfang whispered from the side.

Princess Qinghuan looked up at her father, saw her father's smile, and immediately understood why her father asked her to come forward. If she came forward later, she could learn from Zhou Tianyin.

"Thank you, dad!" Princess Qinghuan said happily.

Su Dingfang smiled slightly.

Princess Qinghuan and Zhou Chi were happy, but others were not happy.

This letter is obviously to protect Wang Xiong, making us think that it can kill Wang Xiong. Now, how will this end

Many ministers even looked ugly.

Because he had already prepared his words during this period, and once the case of Wang Xiong's murder of the emperor's grandson was settled, he would cooperate with Shangguan and ask the Emperor to convict Wang Xiong.

There are so many words that I kept in my mouth, waiting for the evidence to be confirmed, and then adding insult to injury, leaving Wang Xiong beyond redemption. Now, are you telling me that Ying Sheng committed suicide? What do you want me to say

"That letter is fake!"

"Zhou Tianyin is Wang Xiong's fiancée, and they are hiding from each other. This cannot be counted as evidence!"

"Can't count!"

… … … …

… … …

Several officials shouted angrily.

But Wang Xiong looked at Zhang Zhengdao with a slight smile.

"Master Zhang, just now you swore to confirm this witness. Now that the witness has given evidence, you don't want to overturn the witness transcript, do you? What do you think of the evidence you found yourself?" Wang Xiong laughed.

After hearing Zhou Tianyin and Princess Qinghuan testify, Wang Xiong had already guessed the approximate outcome. Although he still had backup plans, they were completely useless at the moment.

"You!" Zhang Zhengdao had anger in his eyes.

"Master Zhang, the Emperor asked you to preside over this debate. Please don't take one side. Seek truth from facts. Whatever the facts are, you should do what you want. Now, countless pairs of eyes are watching. As a censor, you will not Isn't it true that the palace calls a deer a horse?" Wang Xiong said coldly.

At this moment, the facts were on Wang Xiong's side, and Wang Xiong became more confident.

"Wang Xiong, the facts are not clear yet, why are you anxious? Huh, I naturally believe Zhou Tianyin's transcript, but I still haven't figured out how the dagger in it was thrown and came back!" Zhang Zhengdao shouted.

"Throw it out and come back again? That's easy. Do you want me to show you? I have a hundred ways to make thrown things come back!" Wang Xiong laughed.

With that said, Wang Xiong threw a spiritual stone into the sky, and then fell back into Wang Xiong's hand.

Throw it out and come back

Looking at the spirit stone, it seemed as if he was ridiculing Zhang Zhengdao. But, you make people believe that Ying Sheng committed suicide in this way, do you think everyone else is a pig

"Princess Qinghuan!" Zhang Zhengdao suddenly looked at Princess Qinghuan and shouted.

A loud shout, filled with angry resentment, frightened Princess Qinghuan to the point of trembling.

"Doctor Yushi, can you speak politely? You scared my little girl!" Su Dingfang shouted with a serious look on his face.

Su Dingfang's deep shout caused Zhang Zhengdao's momentum to collapse instantly.

"You, what do you want to do? What I read is the same as what Sister Tianyin wrote. That Ying Sheng wanted to kill me at first. If Wang Xiong hadn't saved me, I would have died!" Princess Qinghuan suddenly mustered up her courage. road.

"Master Zhang, did you hear that? It's not that I slandered Ying Sheng. He not only assassinated me, but also assassinated Princess Qinghuan. I would like to ask, do you want to characterize the crime of assassinating the feudal king and the princess? Can you Want accountability?" Wang Xiong said at the right time.

"Wang Xiong, my son was killed by you, and you still want to slander him?" Ying Fen glared and said angrily.

"Fourth Prince, you are dead and your mistakes can be ignored? Fourth Prince, it is the fault of the father that the son did not teach. Why did Ying Sheng get to where he is today? You cannot absolve yourself of the blame!" Wang Xiong glared.

"You, Wang Xiong, you killed my son and you still want to make excuses?" the fourth prince said coldly.

"Sophistry? Now we are clearing my name. I have said before that if you want to slander me, you must at least produce strong evidence, right? Physical evidence, personal evidence, there is a mountain of ironclad evidence. How can I allow you to slander me?" Wang Xiong said coldly. said.

"That's enough, Wang Xiong, the case has not been investigated yet, and I have not finished asking questions! Your suspicion has not been cleared yet!" Zhang Zhengdao said.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, I hope you continue to ask!" Wang Xiong sneered.

"Princess Qinghuan, I would like to ask you why and how the dagger thrown by Ying Sheng returned to the center of his eyebrows. Did Wang Xiong do anything at that time?" Zhang Zhengdao said solemnly.

"I, I...!" Princess Qinghuan was a little anxious.

"Princess Qinghuan, you must not lie in court!" Zhang Zhengdao said coldly again.

Zhang Zhengdao forced Princess Qinghuan, who was a little anxious. Su Dingfang's face darkened and was about to speak.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, Princess Qinghuan is still a little girl. What do you think of her when you scare her like this? I can tell you about the situation at that time. When I rescued Princess Qinghuan, I felt a drum all over my body. After swaying some airflow, the dagger hit the airflow beside me, circled in a circle, turned around and pierced the center of Ying Sheng's eyebrows, so what?" Wang Xiong said calmly.

"Ah?" Princess Qinghuan looked at Wang Xiong in surprise.

Princess Qinghuan just didn't dare to say this part for fear of bringing trouble to Wang Xiong, but Wang Xiong actually said it himself.

"Is what Wang Xiong said true?" Zhang Zhengdao looked at Princess Qinghuan.

"Yes!" Princess Qinghuan looked at Wang Xiong blankly.

Zhang Zhengdao turned to look at Wang Xiong: "Wang Xiong, it seems that you have admitted that you were the one who killed Ying Sheng!"

Everyone looked at Wang Xiong. It was obvious that the air flow changed the direction of the dagger. Wang Xiong actually dared to admit it

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I heard that the imperial censor can report to the emperor just based on the rumors he heard. But, you are too different from the rumors? When did I admit to killing Ying? Did you win? It just so happened that the king released his true energy to save Princess Qinghuan. What happened? Is there any coincidence at that time that could be used as an excuse to kill Ying Sheng?" Wang Xiong sneered. Tao.

"What did you say?"

"I am saying that I am really angry, but how can this prove that I killed Ying Sheng? Do I still want to stop Ying Sheng from committing suicide?" Wang Xiong sneered.

Wang Xiong described everything clearly at that time. It was clearly Wang Xiong who killed Ying Sheng, but it makes people feel that why Wang Xiong cannot be convicted

"It's useless to argue, Wang Xiong. What you just said is right. I have the right to report the matter. There is no need to fight with you. That dagger, besides you, who else can make it turn around? You Wang Xiong, the emperor's grandson cannot commit suicide, that is, he will be killed by you!" Zhang Zhengdao said angrily and coldly.

As soon as Zhang Zhengdao opened his mouth, some looked ferocious, while others looked worried.

After all, rumors and reports cannot be used as evidence. Now that they are said openly, it is like imposing unwarranted charges on Wang Xiong.

It was also Zhang Zhengdao who was so angry that he had a bad impression of Wang Xiong. Last time, he heard the fourth prince's instigation. Wang Xiong killed his student Ying Sheng and injured his student Ying Dong. Zhang Zhengdao had already turned against Wang Xiong. He was extremely disgusted. Not long ago, his son was thrown into the sea by Wang Xiong. Zhang Zhengdao's former justice was completely lost. Today, Wang Xiong is going to be convicted. Wang Xiong's rebuttal just now made Zhang Zhengdao even more annoying. That's why he said this.

"Haha, hahaha, okay, you have the right to make decisions based on rumors. Mr. Zhang, do you know why you have this right?" Wang Xiong's eyes turned cold.

"Um?"

"That is the privilege given to the censor by the emperor's trust. If the injustice in the world of Da Qin is made, you can complain through the mouths of you and other censors! If the corruption of Da Qin is made, you can be clean and honest through the mouths of you and other censors! Let the great Qin be in trouble! The source can be cleared through the mouth of you and other censors! The power of hearing and reporting should be used in the right place, in the public place, for the Qin Dynasty and the people, not to satisfy your own interests. A tool for personal gain!" Wang Xiong glared and shouted coldly.

"You said that I am using this power for personal gain? Do you dare to slander me?" Zhang Zhengdao's expression changed.

Although Zhang Zhengdao did not make great achievements in his life, he was upright and upright throughout his life and never compromised with anyone. This allowed him to secure his position as censor. But now Wang Xiong actually dared to slander himself.

"Slander? Oh, do I still use slander? I want to ask you, before I came to the capital of gods, how did the people criticize me? How did the storytellers in the teahouse slander me? How did the gambling games in the gambling houses be arranged? This kind of criticism and slander has not only not died out with time, but has become more and more intense. Don't tell me, no one is adding fuel to the flames, it is the people's initiative?" Wang Xiong sneered.

"Me!" Zhang Zhengdao's expression changed.

Zhang Zhengdao knew that the Fourth Prince and others sent people to add fuel to the flames, but at that time...

"Irrespective of whether you acknowledge my identity or not, at least the True God has announced it to the world. Regardless of whether I am recognized by the Human Emperor or not, my identity actually exists. The vassal king of the Qin Dynasty has been criticized and slandered by others, and has become the common people's after-dinner. Isn’t this a joke that your censor should take care of? Don’t tell me that you don’t know what’s been going on in the capital for so many days? I don’t know. I can point out a few gambling houses and storytelling teahouses. Let you go and take a look!" Wang Xiong asked.

"This...!" Zhang Zhengdao's face darkened.

The moment of weakness not long ago did not want to become Wang Xiong's excuse to attack him.

"The right to report affairs according to rumors? Not using it for public use is dereliction of duty! Using public weapons for private use is unbridled! Royal censor? Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!" Wang Xiong shouted and took a step forward.

Zhang Zhengdao took three steps back in succession.
