The Second Prince was indeed a little afraid of Wang Jie. It was not because he was afraid that the Shuntian Prefecture Governor had always had some dealings with Zhang Shoulu Saburo's teacher and student, so he deliberately threw a black brick on his head. This famously ruthless and cold-hearted Wang Datou was the most fair and selfless. But he was afraid that the strong Wang Datou would list all his faults one by one and convict him clearly!
Therefore, although Wang Datou revealed all his faults at this time, he clearly defined them as faults, not crimes. He immediately felt relieved, and quickly knelt down, saying in an extremely sincere tone: "Father, I know I was wrong."
Lu Sanlang behind Zhang Shou was immediately filled with hatred. After causing such a big uproar in the city, Wang Datou just lifted it up high and put it down lightly. Much thunder but little rain? Thinking that he had offended the Second Prince this time, the little fat man took a deep breath and prepared to take the crucial step.
However, before he took a step forward, he saw Zhang Shou looking at him. Although the young master did not speak, Lu Sanlang, who had studied mathematics for such a long time, immediately understood the intention of the stop and immediately behaved himself. Sure enough, before the second prince's sincere apology received a response, he heard Wang Jie speak again.
"Second Prince, aren't you understating it when you say you knew you were wrong? Since the early years of Emperor Taizu, our dynasty has issued an imperial decree that princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as ordinary people. Later, Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Ruizong hated the fact that the royal family members ran rampant and did not punish them for breaking the law, so they repeatedly issued imperial decrees to strictly prohibit royal family members from breaking the law. The Second Prince's disturbance last night has now caused an uproar in the whole city. Do you know how the officials and the people of the world will view the imperial court's ban? You did just make a mistake before, but this one thing is a grave crime!"
The second prince had never expected that Wang Datou's trap would actually be waiting for him here. He was already prostrating himself and was filled with hatred. But even though he knew that he was in big trouble this time, he was not willing to give up. So he immediately made up his mind, raised his body and said loudly: "Father, I did behave badly after drinking, but Lu Zhu did it on purpose! He deliberately shouted to ruin my reputation..."
This time, Lu Sanlang couldn't help himself, but he was still beaten to the front. He saw Zhang Shou's figure move in front of him, and then he took a step forward and stood out.
"Your Majesty, if people who commit immoral acts after drinking are all blamed on others for deliberately ruining their reputations, then should there be an additional clause in the Ming Dynasty law in the future, stating that anything done after drinking can be exempted from punishment, whether it is theft, murder or even treason?"
The second prince felt a chill rushing through his head, and subconsciously turned his head to glare at the source of the voice. Seeing Zhang Shou standing indifferently at the very back, looking at him coldly, he instinctively wanted to retort, but before he could say anything, Zhang Shou got there first.
"The Second Prince said that Lu Zhu was loudly slandering your reputation at that time. How many people did you bring with you at that time, and how many people did he bring with him? How many people were there around the innocent girl from the Liu family whose reputation you slandered? If he hadn't shouted loudly to attract attention, would you have been cautious? I remember he said that if the First Prince hadn't stepped forward to stop him, the Second Prince's whip would have hit them!"
