The leaves were falling, the north wind was howling, and General Wang put one hand on his waist, not knowing what an opponent was. Zhu Ping'an, who was 200 meters away, was not taken seriously by him at all, and was just a defeated general who had no power to fight back!
At this moment, General Wang, who is 1.7 meters tall, has an aura taller than the city wall and has become the well-deserved focus.
On the city wall, under the pressure of General Wang, Prefect Shang had no choice but to stand up and uphold fairness and justice.
"Zihou, let me ask you again, do you have any written or physical evidence of General Wang's surrender to the Japanese pirates?"
Prefect Shang repeated the question that General Wang had just asked, to confirm again whether Zhu Ping'an had any evidence and to see if Zhu Ping'an had acted impulsively and deliberately did not answer General Wang's question.
Under the expectant gaze of Prefect Shang, Zhu Ping'an simply shook his head.
Prefect Shang frowned in disappointment and asked, "Do you have any witness testimony to prove that General Wang surrendered to the Japanese pirates?!"
Zhu Pingan still shook his head simply!
"Your Excellency, I never surrendered to the Japanese pirates. It's normal that he has no evidence of my surrender. There's no need to waste time. It's freezing cold and our men are almost frozen. We are not unreasonable people. At this critical moment when Suzhou lives or dies, as long as Zhu Ping'an and the Zhejiang Army apologize to us and clear our name, this matter will be over."
At this time, General Wang stood up and showed the magnanimity of a prime minister.
After hearing what General Wang said, the prefect couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Look, this is a mature man. He is experienced in doing things, knows when to advance and retreat, and makes people feel at ease. He is not comparable to a young man like Zhu Ping'an.
"Zihou, you are also an expert in solving cases. Solving cases requires both witnesses and physical evidence. Now you have no witnesses and no physical evidence. You slander General Wang and say that he surrendered to the Japanese pirates. Isn't that inappropriate? General Wang is generous and magnanimous. You heard it. As long as you apologize to General Wang and let your soldiers apologize to General Wang, this matter will be over. At this time when the Japanese pirates are besieging the city, unity is the most important thing. We must unite as one and fight against the Japanese pirates. I believe Zihou will put the overall situation first."
Prefect Shang took a step back and persuaded Zhu Ping'an to apologize to General Wang.
"I am a great man, so I am naturally generous. I am not like some people who are not good at talking but are not reliable in doing things. They are rough and crude! As long as you apologize to me, and as long as your subordinates apologize to the soldiers behind me, this matter will be over."
When General Wang saw that Prefect Shang made the decision for him, he couldn't help but feel proud. He looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smug look on his face and said leisurely.
Haha, I defected to Japan, I am shameless, I am a scum, but what can you do to me? You still have to apologize to me.
This feeling is just like drinking a jar of fine wine, it is so wonderful and indescribable.
This feeling was even more fulfilling than when he had sex with his 280-pound wife from a prominent family on his first night of marriage.
General Wang walked with the stride of a winner, looked at Zhu Ping'an proudly, and waited for Zhu Ping'an to apologize.
"It's impossible to apologize, and it's even more impossible to let this matter go." Zhu Ping'an looked at General Wang with a smile.
General Wang was waiting proudly for Zhu Ping'an to give in and apologize, but he didn't expect to hear such an unexpected word. It was so unexpected that he stumbled and almost fell flat on his face. He was immediately furious and said, "Zhu Ping'an, I'm already a big man. You can be young and hot-tempered, but don't be shameless."
"Zihou, the ancients said that knowing one's mistakes is the best way to correct them. You have no evidence to accuse General Wang of surrendering to the Japanese pirates, and you have accused General Wang and his soldiers of being Japanese pirates... ... Since the mistake has been made, we need to correct it. It's just an apology."
Prefect Shang shook his head repeatedly and lectured Zhu Ping'an. He was even more dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an at this time. You slandered General Wang for surrendering to the Japanese pirates. It's rare that he is so magnanimous that he would let the matter go with just an apology from you. You are unwilling to do such a simple thing. You are too young and impetuous.
"Zhu Ping'an, you have no evidence to back me up. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"
General Wang took the opportunity to act furious, yelling at Zhu Ping'an, threatening and forcing Zhu Ping'an to apologize to him.
"Haha, who said I have no evidence? I, Zhu Ping'an, always pay attention to evidence when doing things. No matter whether it's the case of Zhao Daying killing innocent people and claiming credit, or the case of Taicang deficit, or any case I have tried since I took office, the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive!" Zhu Ping'an said with a smile, looking at the timid General Wang.
Click!
General Wang's heart skipped a beat, but he soon calmed down. Zhu Ping'an had no evidence, and it was impossible for him to have any evidence. He was just bluffing. He had no documentary evidence, physical evidence, or witnesses. What evidence could he have? !
Prefect Shang on the city wall was also stunned for a moment, and recalled Zhu Ping'an's resume after he passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom. He had presided over several major cases, including the case of Zhao Daying killing innocent people and claiming credit, and the case of the Taicang deficit. The facts were indeed clear and the evidence was conclusive. Especially when Zhu Ping'an was in charge of the Taicang deficit case, in order to investigate the case, Zhu Ping'an did not hesitate to take off all his clothes, entered the Taicang silver vault, and found out the deficit. He became famous all over the world after taking off his clothes.
Judging from these major cases, Zhu Ping'an is indeed not a person who acts rashly or slanders others' innocence out of thin air.
So, what he said about General Wang defecting to Japan was not groundless? ! However, without documentary evidence, physical evidence, or witness testimony, what evidence could Zhu Ping'an have? !
When Prefect Shang thought of this, he could not help but carefully look at Zhu Ping'an and General Wang again, his eyes hesitant... ...
"Zhu Ping'an, Mr. Zhu, you have no documentary evidence, no physical evidence, and no witnesses. What other evidence do you have? If you have any, then show it to us! Stop wasting time!"
General Wang screamed hysterically again. He didn't believe that Zhu Ping'an had any evidence.
"Yes, Zihou, if you have any evidence in your hand, please take it out and let us see it." Prefect Shang also said on the city wall.
"Okay, let's take a look." Zhu Ping'an nodded with a smile.
Seeing the confident and calm smile on Zhu Ping'an's face, General Wang's heart couldn't help but start to skip a beat. Could this bastard really have some evidence? !
"What evidence do you have? Documentary evidence, physical evidence, or witness testimony?!" General Wang shouted in a timid voice.
"I don't have documentary evidence, physical evidence or witnesses, but I can prove it to you." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"This is absolute nonsense. You have no documentary evidence, physical evidence, or witnesses. How can you prove it?!" After hearing this, General Wang laughed out loud.
"Who said that without documentary evidence, physical evidence, and witness testimony, it cannot be proven? I will prove it to you."
Zhu Ping'an smiled confidently.
