Not only Chi Hou, but also Wen Dabao in the crowd, Yan Xiu standing next to Fang Zhengzheng, and even Pingyang and Shan Yu were a little confused.
At times like this...
Isn’t it a case of seeking leniency
Be strict!
What is the difference between this and seeking death
Chi Hou looked at Fang Zhengzheng, but he never understood why Fang Zhengzheng said such words with a twitch in his head. Could it be that he really wanted to die
Because of the inability to reverse the verdict and despair
When the people around them heard Fang Zhengzheng's words, they all looked at me with confusion and shock.
"Are you crazy?"
"I've heard that when people are stressed out, they can act stupidly for a short period of time!"
"Well, I've heard of this kind of thing too!"
When the people looked at Fang Zhengyi with a smile on his face, the only thing they could think of was that there was some unknown turning point in Fang Zhengyi's head.
But after hearing Fang Zhengzheng's words, the civil and military officials laughed.
Although they also didn't know what Fang Zhengzheng meant when he said this, they knew the law and the rules of the court. So how could Fang Zhengzheng survive if he was severely punished
Regarding the attitude of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai...
Although the civil and military officials could not all guess clearly, they more or less had some guesses, judging from the reaction of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai just now.
In fact, most of them are willing to let things go.
But once the crime is proved, I am afraid that even if the sage Lin Mubai wants to save him, there is nothing he can do.
"Very well, Fang Zhengzheng, you are brave enough to do what you want. If you surrender today, I will definitely consider interceding for you and leaving your body intact!" Prince Lin Tianrong also smiled.
How could he not be happy that the worries that had been bothering him for more than a year were resolved at this moment? Once Fang Zhengzheng dies, his status will no longer be shaken.
"Just surrender? Why should I surrender?" Fang Zhengzheng asked rhetorically.
"Do you still want to resist? Haha... Don't say you have become a useless person. Even if you are still the same as you were a year ago, you probably won't be able to fly out of Yanjing City today!" Prince Lin Tianrong sneered.
"His Royal Highness, what he said makes sense. Since he has become a cripple, how can he kill people?" When Fang Zhengzheng heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth again.
"What do you want to say?" Prince Lin Tianrong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I do have sufficient reasons to kill, but what if I don't have the ability to kill? May I ask, Your Highness the Crown Prince, my lords, how can a person who has no ability to kill kill?" Fang Zhengzheng continued.
"Humph, I knew you would quibble on this matter!" Upon hearing this, Prince Lin Tianrong once again showed a sneer on his lips: "Anyone who has participated in the battle in the Southern Territory knows that after you fight against the setting sun, I once caught Princess Pingyang’s shot with one hand, don’t you dare to say that it’s not the case?”
Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes were cold and cold.
When the civil and military officials heard this, they all smiled. For the case that year, Prince Lin Tianrong gave sufficient evidence and reasons when he came back.
Fang Zhengzheng wanted to use his inability to kill people to reverse the case, so how could they not think of it
Pingyang's expression changed at this moment.
She had personally participated in that battle back then. Fang Zhengzheng was indeed fighting against the setting sun, grabbing the spear she thrust out with one hand.
"My princess's shot actually had no effect..."
"Your Highness, you are right." Fang Zhengzheng certainly knew what Pingyang wanted to say, but he nodded directly without waiting for Pingyang to finish speaking.
When Prince Lin Tianrong heard this, he smiled even more in his heart. Pingyang wanted to defend Fang Zhengzheng, but this was simply impossible. After all, there were too many people present.
"So, you have the ability to kill the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory. At least, you had it temporarily at that time. However, your small world was destroyed, the Taoist fruits were lost, and the original power could not stay in the body for a long time, which made you become a A useless person!" Prince Lin Tianrong affirmed.
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is right!"
"We are not fools if we want to quibble about our cultivation."
"Fang Zhengyi, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't escape today. The law is ruthless. You said it yourself!"
All civil and military officials responded immediately.
"Have I ever said that I am incapable of killing people because of my insufficient cultivation?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at the civil and military officials with some disdain.
"What's the meaning?"
"Is there any reason other than cultivation?"
"What does this guy want to quibble with?"
The civil and military officials were slightly startled, not quite understanding what Fang Zheng said.
"I mean, I didn't have the strength or ability to kill the Crown Prince of the Southern Region at that time." When Fang Zhengzheng said this, he also bypassed the civil and military officials and looked at the Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
"No strength? What do you mean?" The civil and military officials were shocked.
They all looked at me and I looked at you, not quite understanding what Fang Zheng meant. After all, during the battle in the Southern Territory, there were not many civil and military personnel from the Manchu Dynasty.
Zhenguofu Xingyuanguo counts as one.
The others are Princess Pingyang, Chi Guyan, and the former Minister of Rites.
Among them, the former Minister of Rites had been "killed" in the battle in the Southern Region. As for Xingyuan Kingdom, Pingyang and Chi Guyan, they had already returned to Beijing at the end of the Battle in the Southern Region.
in other words…
Among the people who stayed in the Southern Territory back then, there were only Prince Lin Tianrong and Fang Zhengzheng and some talented people who participated in the Southern Territory Palace Examination, and even Nangong Hao was not there.
While the civil and military officials were confused, Prince Lin Tianrong was shocked and his face changed slightly. He naturally guessed what Fang Zhengyi was referring to.
However, he soon returned to normal.
Because that matter is not so easy to prove.
"Fang Zhengyi, maybe you did drink a lot that day and were hungover, but do you think this excuse can relieve you of your guilt?" Prince Lin Tianrong clenched his fists subconsciously.
When he was poisoned, Prince Lin Tianrong was fully prepared. He deliberately praised Fang Zhengyi at the banquet and secretly ordered Su Qing to incite the talented people and the generals of the southern region to toast Fang Zhengzheng.
In that case, Fang Zhengzheng already had a huge role to play, and naturally there were many people toasting. Even if he was deliberately incited, it was normal for Fang Zhengzheng to get drunk that day.
When he was drunk, he entered the room by mistake, entered Shan Yu's boudoir, and climbed into Shan Yu's bed. These things also happened naturally.
And at the back...
Naturally, it was Shan Ling, the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory, who caught Fang Zhengzheng's appearance.
That night, all the generals of the Southern Territory and the talented people who participated in the imperial examination in the Southern Territory saw with their own eyes how much alcohol Fang Zhengzheng drank, so it was also normal to be "drunk and unconscious".
As for the next morning.
Prince Lin Tianrong was also fully prepared, taking advantage of the talents' opportunity to reveal themselves, and ordered them to open the way in front, while he escorted them from behind.
In this way, naturally no one knows whether Fang Zhengzheng is "drunk" or "sober".
Thinking of this, Prince Lin Tianrong quickly calmed down.
After all, not many people know about the poisoning, and the person who actually poisoned Shan Ling is already dead. Su Qing is far away in the Northern Desert. How can he find out
"His Royal Highness, you said I was hungover?" Fang Zhengzheng smiled calmly.
"That's right!" Prince Lin Tianrong nodded.
"I remember that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that he wanted to taste the Southern Territory King's roasted lamb technique. I wonder if I remembered it correctly?" Fang Zhengzheng nodded similarly and continued.
"So what?" Prince Lin Tianrong's tone was cold. He said this in public that day, and there was no point in explaining it.
Moreover, he did not feel that defending this matter would be of any help to the case.
"I wonder, Your Highness, would you like to taste it now?" Fang Zhengzheng looked directly into the eyes of Prince Lin Tianrong when he heard this.
"What do you mean?" Prince Lin Tianrong's expression suddenly changed.
"The same slaughtering on site, the same ingredients, the same craftsmanship. Your Highness, do you dare to try it?" Fang Zhengzheng said while looking at the Southern Territory King Shanyu.
"You..." When Prince Lin Tianrong heard this, he finally had a bad premonition in his heart. He was about to say something more, but he suddenly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Because, the soldiers from the Southern Territory had suddenly moved aside.
At the same time, four soldiers from the Southern Territory wearing heavy rattan armor also brought up a howling green-horned antelope.
Seeing this scene…
Prince Lin Tianrong finally felt a little panic in his heart.
He seemed to understand Fang Zhengzheng's intention. He actually wanted to repeat the scene in the Southern Territory more than a year ago? But, how is this possible
The one who poisoned was indeed Shan Ling, the crown prince of the Southern Territory.
However, that was more than a year ago. How could those ingredients that were mixed with "Shi Xing Cartilage Powder" still be preserved now
Just as he was thinking this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Because Shanyu, the king of the Southern Territory, had already touched her hand behind her, and soon, she also found a small animal skin package that was extremely tightly packed.
"I still remember His Highness the Crown Prince's request back then, so the ingredients used back then have been properly preserved. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't abandon it, I can bake one for His Highness himself today!" Shanyu, the King of the Southern Territory, said as he spoke. Open the small animal skin bag to reveal various colored ingredients inside.
Prince Lin Tianrong's face turned pale in an instant.
In fact, when the four Southern Territory soldiers came up carrying the green-horned antelope that had been tied up long ago, he roughly guessed something in his heart.
However, he never imagined that the ingredients from back then would actually be preserved.
"The King of the Southern Territory has traveled all the way, and he has to work hard for the Southern Territory King just for a moment of lust. I can't bear it!" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the Southern Territory King Shan Yu in front of him, with a faint cold light shining in his soft eyes.
"It doesn't matter, this is a gift specially given to the prince by my king!" Shan Yu also looked at the prince Lin Tianrong, with flames rising in his dark eyes.
"The status of the King of the Southern Territory today is different from that of the past. I really don't dare to act like this!" Prince Lin Tianrong gritted his teeth and continued.
"No matter how different my identity is from the past, I am still a subject of Daxia. His Royal Highness is the crown prince of Daxia Dynasty, so there is no need to be polite to me!" Shan Yu also insisted.
"The King of the Southern Territory really wants to do this!"
"certainly!"
"What if I don't want to eat it?" Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes were cold.
"That means His Highness the Crown Prince looks down on me and the customs and characteristics of our Southern Territory. I, the King, should take my Southern Territory warriors back to the Southern Territory and sincerely apologize!" Shan Yu's tone was equally cold.
"Hahaha... What did the King of the South Territory say? How could I, the Crown Prince, look down on the King of the South Territory's craftsmanship? Then please ask the King of the South Territory... to bake it!" Prince Lin Tianrong said at the end, his fists were almost clenched. whitish.
"Then it's embarrassing!" When Shan Yu heard this, he spread his arms slightly, and immediately, the large animal skin robe flew directly, and then fell to the ground.
At the same time, two cold daggers also appeared in Shan Yu's hands.
The exquisite cover wrapped Shan Yu's exquisite figure, and fiery red cloud patterns rose from her body and spread to her whole body in an instant.
Such a scene is wild and full of shock.
Countless people looked at this scene with their eyes wide open.
"Is this the training method of the Southern Territory King?"
"I heard that what Nanyu cultivates is bloodline. Could it be that the king of Nanyu has bloodline?"
"No, it's not just about blood!"
The people were talking while looking at the fiery red cloud pattern covering the body of King Shanyu of the Southern Territory. Everyone was extremely curious and shocked.
The civil and military officials were also overwhelmed by the scene before them.
They were obviously discussing Fang Zhengzheng's case, but why did it suddenly become the case that the King of the Southern Territory wanted to offer a "gift" to His Highness the Crown Prince
Could it be that this roasted lamb has anything to do with the case
The civil and military officials were a little confused, and then some courtiers turned their attention to some of the newly promoted officials in the Southern Region Palace Examination.
And those officials who had participated in the Imperial Examination during the First World War in the Southern Territory and were now promoted to the imperial court also shook their heads.
After all, none of them had ever eaten Shanyu’s roasted lamb.
…
The flames slowly rose, and Shan Yu moved the dagger in his hand very quickly, finishing all the tied green-horned antelopes in just a moment.
Then, a huge bonfire was set up.
In front of the palace gate, at noon, the scorching sun slowly rose.
The civil and military officials and countless people didn't understand why things developed like this, but they still quietly looked at the exquisite figure flying in the middle.
Shan Yu, on the other hand, danced around the bonfire with an indifferent expression. With every step she took, the flames on her body rose up. She looked like an elf flying through the flames.
Elegant and full of special wild temptation.
As for Prince Lin Tianrong, he was naturally looking at Shan Yu in the field, his soft eyes narrowed slightly, and faint cold light flashed from them.
Fang Zhengzheng was also watching, but his expression was obviously very relaxed, and from time to time he would introduce the flavor of the roasted lamb to Yan Xiu beside him.
"It's crispy and melts in your mouth. The most important thing is that the taste of the herbs is not strong at all, but has a refreshing fragrance. The craftsmanship of the Southern Territory King is much better than mine!" (To be continued.)
