The air at the entrance of the palace seemed extremely oppressive at this moment. I don't know if it was because of Shan Yu's words or because of the angry flames ignited on Shan Yu's body.
Fang Zhengzheng did not look at Prince Lin Tianrong, but continued to look at Shan Yu in front of him with a smile: "If I say yes, what will happen to the King of the Southern Territory?"
"Wow!"
The people watching were excited again.
Because Fang Zhengzheng actually said yes? Even if he used "if", it was still tantamount to openly pointing the blame at the prince.
Isn't this too courageous
"Does he really want to pin the blame on His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"This is a capital crime!"
"But if he doesn't put the blame on His Highness the Crown Prince, it will also be a capital crime, right?"
People, you look at me and I look at you with wide eyes.
The civil and military officials standing behind the prince were also extremely shocked at this moment. They were not shocked by Fang Zhengzheng's boldness, but they were shocked that Fang Zhengzheng acted without any evidence...
He actually dared to say this.
However, they did not speak. Instead, they all looked at Nanyu Wang Shanyu, waiting for Nanyu Wang Shanyu's answer.
"Such a eloquent guy actually dares to accuse His Highness the Crown Prince unjustly?" Shan Yu was slightly stunned, and then replied again.
"Whether he is unjustly accused or not will be known once he investigates. Do you dare to investigate?" Fang Zhengzheng said calmly.
"How dare you not?"
"Okay, what if it is found out that His Royal Highness really killed the Crown Prince?"
"If it is true as you said, I, Shan Yu, will seek justice for the Southern Territory even if I am shattered to pieces. But if you dare to lie to me, I will kill you now!" Shan Yu looked fierce.
"Very good, just as you said!" Fang Zhengzheng nodded, and then finally looked at Prince Lin Tianrong: "Your Highness, do you want to investigate or not?"
"Presumptuous! Fang Zhengzheng, how dare you slander this prince? Do you know how serious a crime it is to instigate relations between countries?" Prince Lin Tianrong could no longer bear it.
After hearing Fang Zhengzheng's question, he finally broke out directly.
He didn't even wait for the courtiers behind him to speak.
"Your Highness, are you feeling guilty?" Fang Zhengzheng asked with a questioning look on his face when he saw the look of Prince Lin Tianrong.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angered by his words!"
"Yes, he is just full of nonsense. Why should His Highness pay attention to it?"
When the courtiers saw that Prince Lin Tianrong was confronting Fang Zhengzheng directly, they all became somewhat nervous.
"Humph, what guilt does this prince have? The case has already been concluded. You killed the person. How can I still accuse you unjustly?" Prince Lin Tianrong did not look at the civil and military officials behind him, but secretly looked at him. He glanced at the sage Lin Mubai with his eyes slightly closed, and then clenched his fists fiercely.
"What evidence does Your Highness have?" Fang Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Evidence?" Prince Lin Tianrong was obviously stunned for a moment. The Ministry of Punishment had already concluded the case of Fang Zhengzheng's assassination of the Crown Prince of the Southern Region.
If it comes to evidence, logically it should be given to him by Fang Zhengzheng, not by him.
However, after hearing Fang Zhengzheng's words, he still gritted his teeth.
"Master Su Qingsu was the only witness present at the time. Moreover, the prince was also stabbed by you. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. What excuse do you have?" Prince Lin Tianrong said directly.
"I'm afraid this isn't right? Now His Royal Highness is also one of the suspects. So, according to the court's laws, you can't testify for any reason, right? In this case, what kind of physical evidence can there be?" Fang Zhengzheng continued to ask.
"You want to quibble?" Prince Lin Tianrong finally became slightly angry.
"The dynasty has dynasty laws. If there are only witnesses, it cannot be considered an ironclad case. Am I wrong?" Fang Zhengzheng replied again.
When the civil and military officials heard this, their expressions changed.
It is obviously impossible to prevent the confrontation between Prince Lin Tianrong and Fang Zhengzheng under the current situation. On the other hand, as Fang Zhengzheng said, once Prince Lin Tianrong is considered a suspect, then there will be only one case of killing the crown prince in the Southern Territory. witness.
With only one witness...
It really can't be decided.
However, who would suspect that the prince was killed by Prince Lin Tianrong
This is completely different from when the Ministry of Punishment first finalized the case.
All the civil and military officials were somewhat silent, but Prince Lin Tianrong clenched his teeth so hard that he was being talked about the law by a commoner from a mountain village.
This is undoubtedly a provocation for him.
"Fang Zhengyi, you said that His Highness the Crown Prince killed the person, then what was His Royal Highness's motive for killing the Crown Prince? How could he kill someone without a motive?" A courtier saw the expression on Prince Lin Tianrong's face, and then looked at Fang Zhengyi and Shan Yu finally took a step and stood up.
After hearing what the courtiers said, the other civil and military officials also woke up one after another, and their originally dim eyes quickly lit up.
"That's right, why did His Royal Highness want to kill the Crown Prince? This makes no sense at all!"
"Master Li is right!"
"Without a motive, it is impossible to become a suspect. Fang Zhengzheng, you are trying to change your concept. Do you think that all civil and military officials in the dynasty are fools?"
All civil and military officials soon stood up and asked questions.
When Prince Lin Tianrong heard this, he was slightly relieved. If the courtiers hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten this.
According to court law, without a motive, one cannot become a suspect.
"What a great Fang Zhengzheng, I almost fell into your trap!" Prince Lin Tianrong's mouth was a little cold. Of course he had the motive to kill Shan Ling.
only…
This motive is impossible to say.
Shan Ling rebelled and determined to become emperor.
How could Prince Lin Tianrong allow him to continue to be the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory, and even become the King of the Southern Territory one day? Therefore, when he saw Shan Ling in the Tieqiu tribe, he already had murderous intentions.
But how big a deal is it to kill the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory? How could he kill without a definite reason, or rather without a person to take the blame
But Fang Zhengzheng gave him a reason.
Frivolous Southern Princess!
Then, using Shan Ling's trust, he put the blame on Fang Zhengzheng in one fell swoop, and took the opportunity to eliminate the hidden dangers in the Southern Territory, and even captured the Southern Territory's power, absolutely killing three birds with one stone.
However, Prince Lin Tianrong never expected that Shan Ling would release Fang Zhengzheng before he died.
Therefore…
That's how we are today.
"When it comes to the motive for killing, Fang Zhengzheng, you have sufficient motive and reason for killing!" The courtier who was the first to stand up spoke again.
The people who were watching also nodded when they heard the words of the courtiers.
Fang Zhengzheng is guilty of frivolous Shan Yu.
Naturally, it is consistent with the reason for killing, but Prince Lin Tianrong does not have any motive for killing. Comparing the two, it is almost self-evident who is the real murderer.
"Fang Zhengzheng, what else do you have to say?"
"Originally, you used the name of Fang Zhengzheng to deceive people in Yanjing City. Now that you have admitted your identity and guilt, where do you want to escape?"
"Come here, capture this criminal who killed the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory!"
Seeing Fang Zhengzheng's silence, the civil and military officials all spoke again.
"Who dares?!" Pingyang's voice rang out at this moment, her red dress with gold threads flying, and her clear eyes scanning the civil and military officials below.
"Your Highness, this matter is very clear..."
"That's right, why does Her Royal Highness need to protect him anymore?"
"A dynasty also has dynasty laws."
The civil and military officials naturally knew that Pingyang was domineering, but when things got to this point, how could they easily let go of the threat of Fang Zhengzheng
Less than ten days.
Wan Chong, the former Minister of Punishment, collapsed.
Then, there was another series of executions of letters, but this was not over yet. Then, Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping was imprisoned again, the Minister of the Ministry of War was detained in Shili Lake, and two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment were imprisoned pending trial.
All of this told them...
Fang Zhengzheng came prepared when he entered Yanjing City this time.
No one knows who Fang Zhengzheng's next target is, but they know that without Fang Zhengzheng, they will live a very stable life.
"Your Highness, please step aside, Mr. Yan... King Yan probably doesn't know what you did today, right?" The civil and military officials began to press forward step by step.
As Prince Lin Tianrong watched this scene, the coldness on his lips became more and more intense.
Court.
This is not something that a person from a commoner background can play well. After running the business for more than a year, the status of his court has long been ingrained.
How can a Fang Zhengzheng be overthrown
"Naive!" Prince Lin Tianrong sneered. He could already foresee Fang Zhengzheng's next fate, and as long as Fang Zhengzheng went to jail.
He has at least a hundred ways to make Fang Zhengzheng die in prison.
Even though the current Minister of Punishment is Wen Chuan and not his confidant Wan Chong.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
As long as he still sits in the position of prince, then the case of Wanchong, the former minister of the Ministry of punishment, cannot be judged, and the case of Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping cannot be judged either.
Shanyu, the king of the Southern Territory, also looked at Fang Zhengyi at this time, with some anxiety in his dark eyes. She probably guessed Fang Zhengyi's plan.
And she was indeed following Fang Zhengzheng's plan.
But just when he was about to succeed...
But something like this happened, which she didn't expect and what she didn't expect.
"What should I do?" Shan Yu was anxious and weighing the situation. Once she ordered the robbery, how would the Great Xia Dynasty react
Yan Xiu's body was filled with bright red aura.
Red rays of light flashed continuously between his fingers. He naturally saw Fang Zheng's current situation, but Fang Zheng had no intention of letting him participate in this plan.
Even when Fang Zhengzheng walked out of the crowd, he didn't even say hello to him.
Then, he had no way of knowing Fang Zhengzheng's trump card in this plan, nor could he know whether Fang Zhengzheng could handle the doubts of the courtiers.
"Indeed, I have sufficient motives for killing, but His Highness the Crown Prince does not!" Fang Zhengzheng's voice finally rang out, and his eyes met the civil and military officials in front of him.
"Since you have admitted it, why don't you just go ahead and arrest me!"
"Do you want to watch Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mr. Yan disobey the laws of the court for you?"
"This case has long been concluded, and there is no point in making excuses."
When the civil and military officials heard what Fang Zhengyi said, a smile appeared on their lips, looking at Fang Zhengyi as if they were looking at a dead person.
And at this moment, a figure also walked out from among the civil and military officials, wearing the court uniform of a marquis, with a faint brilliance in his eyes.
It is Shenhoufu Chihou.
"Fang Zhengzheng, you made great contributions in the battle in the Southern Territory. This is a fact that everyone knows. Although you accidentally killed the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory because you were afraid of being convicted, if you can be frank and lenient, you can fight for the Southern Territory. The regional king's forgiveness is not without a glimmer of hope!" Chi Hou's voice was extremely loud, shocking the entire palace gate.
When the people around him heard Chi Hou's words, they all looked thoughtful, because, as Chi Hou said, Fang Zhengzheng's contribution to the Southern Territory was too great.
Even if Fang Zhengzheng killed the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory by mistake, he still could not hide the huge contributions he had made in the Southern Territory.
not to mention…
The Southern Territory King Shanyu said it himself just now.
Because, considering Fang Zhengzheng's contribution in the Southern Territory, he did not kill Fang Zhengzheng immediately. This was equivalent to indirectly telling everyone that the Southern Territory King Shanyu had no intention of putting Fang Zhengzheng to death.
Prince Lin Tianrong looked at Chi Hou at this time, and a cold light flashed in his soft eyes. In the eyes of the people, Chi Hou's words were an attempt to persuade him to surrender.
But in fact, it was trying to win a chance for Fang Zhengzheng to survive.
"Yes, Fang Zhengzheng has indeed made some achievements in the Southern Territory. However, the law is ruthless. Even this prince must still abide by the law. If he kills someone, he must pay with his life. What's more, the person he killed was the crown prince of the Southern Territory. Regardless of whether he is from From a state-to-state perspective, as well as from a strict governance perspective, we must deal with him strictly to serve as a warning to others!" Naturally, Prince Lin Tianrong could no longer give Fang Zhengyi any hope of survival.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. Without law, there would be no country. Since ancient times, merits and demerits cannot be offset. Merits are merits, and faults are faults. They cannot be compared."
"Yes, merit can be rewarded, but demerits must be punished!"
"Those who kill must pay with their lives. Even if the King of the Southern Territory is more tolerant, we in Great Xia cannot possibly chill the hearts of our country!"
The civil and military officials soon stood up again and followed Prince Lin Tianrong.
Chi Hou frowned, and just when he was about to continue speaking, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the smile on Fang Zhengzheng's face, a smile as bright as the sun.
"How can this guy still laugh when he is about to die?" Chi Hou didn't understand. Although he didn't have a close relationship with Fang Zhengyi, he didn't want Fang Zhengyi to die like this.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzheng's voice finally sounded again.
"Yes, murderers should pay with their lives. Without laws, a country cannot be established. Even if the King of the Southern Territory is tolerant, this matter must be dealt with strictly!" Fang Zhengzheng looked at the civil and military officials with a smile on his face.
However…
Chi Hou was a little confused.
"Is this guy crazy?" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit m.Read for a better reading experience.
