Yan Cheng listened to Yan Yi's uncontrollable drinking, paused, and then closed his eyes. He secretly told himself that he must not have a trace of hesitation and soft-heartedness, and he must not be influenced by him. Yan Cheng simply didn't look at Yan Yi, and continued in one go: "Yes, why did I happen to be in the Northland at that time? Why did Yan Yi plan to frame Guan Zhiyuan before the Shangjing Beidi case broke out? Don't you understand......" Yan Cheng glanced at everyone in the hall and sneered: "Because I was sent by Yan Yi to the Northland to secretly contact the grain merchants and water merchants in the North for him, planning how to take advantage of the national disaster to maliciously raise prices in order to earn a lot of national disaster wealth!" Oh, because Yan Yi is the mastermind behind the Beidi case! ”

The military officials above the Xuanzheng Hall were already speechless in shock, what kind of monstrous news is this! The mastermind behind the court's thorough investigation turned out to be Yan Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department! originally thought that Yan Cheng was shocking enough to say that Yan Yi framed Guan Zhiyuan, but I didn't want to ...... It really couldn't be more amazing!

Looking at Yan Yi again, his face was already as earthy, and the whole person looked sluggish as if he had lost his soul...... Judging by the image of a moment ago who was still speaking righteously and trying to argue for himself. All the eyes looked at him, and all the eyes of the temple were fixed on him, and the look was incredulous, or disgusted, or hateful, or relieved......

"Yan Yi, you are guilty!" Chu Tianze said in an indifferent tone. He wasn't the rage everyone imagined. Finally arrived at this moment, but Chu Tianze and everyone else had no intention of acting.

Yan Yi didn't seem to hear Chu Tianze's question, he didn't say anything, and he didn't make any moves, just standing quietly in the hall alone, as if he had left this world.

"Father-in-law, the emperor asks you!" Yan Cheng suddenly reminded.

When Yan Yi heard this, his eyelids jumped, and instead of facing Chu Tianze, he looked straight at Yan Cheng, his eyes instantly changed from the previous stunned to sharp, and he asked angrily: "Why!" ”

"Why?" Yan Cheng did not immediately answer Yan Yi's words, but repeated them, as if asking himself. Of course, he knew what Yan Yi meant by asking, but he didn't seem to have anything to say.

"Why betray me! I trust you so much! I really didn't expect that this life would be ruined on the children I raised! I really regret that I shouldn't have left you in the first place! Yan Yi seemed to be using the last trace of rebuttal strength to vent all his resentment on Yan Cheng.

Finally, Yan Yi still said in person that he regretted saving him and adopting him, which hurt Yan Cheng as much as saying that he shouldn't live in this world. Since he was seven years old, after Yan Yi led him back, Yan Cheng lived for Yan Yi, but at this moment, this person said that he regretted leaving him! Yan Cheng's heart trembled as if it had been cut by a thousand knives......

"There's no reason, it's just, it's time to end." Yan Cheng suppressed the pain in his heart, tried his best to remain calm on the surface, and said indifferently: "Over the years, I have done so many shady things for you, in fact, it should have ended a long time ago!" ”

"You can end it yourself if you want to, what do you want to pull me into the water!" Yan Yi was close to madness, and he looked at Yan Cheng and roared angrily.

"What we've done over the years seems to have hurt a lot of people! Once upon a time, I thought I would do it for you if you wanted to. It's just that I know now that I shouldn't harm others in order to repay your kindness. Yan Cheng smiled bitterly: "I thought you had done enough evil things in this life. You can't stop, I should be here to help you. ”

"You lunatic! Who wants you to help! Yan Yi felt that Yan Cheng was crazy to say such a thing, yes, crazy, absolutely crazy!

Yan Yi's words touched Chu Tianze's bottom line: "Could it be that you still think you are innocent?!" As an official of the imperial court, you do not serve the court and the people, but only for your own selfish interests, ignoring the difficulties of the country and the lives of tens of millions of people. ”

When Yan Yi heard this, the whole person seemed to be hollowed out at once, and his legs were weak and he sat on the ground. Chu Tianze's reprimand, he couldn't refute it. He is not worthy of being an official, or even a man! Oh, once upon a time, he was also a good official with enthusiasm, pursuit, and lofty ambitions!

Chu Tianze said coldly: "The heinous crimes you have committed are enough for you to punish the Nine Clans!" You still don't admit your guilt, do you still want to confront the officials involved?! ”

Nine Clans? Yan Yi heard these two words, and his body that was paralyzed on the ground suddenly trembled violently. Yan Yi hurriedly straightened up, knelt respectfully in front of Chu Tianze, and bowed again and again: "Your Majesty, minister, no, the guilty minister is guilty!" It's just that the minister has no relatives, and the crime of the nine clans really can't be carried out. The minister himself is deeply guilty, and the minister is willing to suffer all kinds of death punishment to atone for his sins! ”

Yan Yi, who was still depressed and unwilling to admit his crimes, suddenly became so sober when he saw that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials were still depressed, and his righteous words seemed to want to take all the sins on his own and not drag others down. All those present knew that Yan Yi knew that Yan Yi had been alone, not knowing his father and mother, nor his wife and children. Now, the only thing is to have a righteous son, Yan Cheng. Is he looking for a way to survive for Yan Cheng? Unexpectedly, these two people were still arguing to the death, and their tone was resentful. But at this moment, before he died, Yan Yi was still thinking about this righteous son.

Yan Cheng felt very ridiculous, he knew what Yan Yi's reason was for saying this. Yan Cheng looked at Yan Yi and shook his head bitterly and sneered, "You're still thinking about her?!" Oh, it's just that you're thinking too much, and you've forgotten that she's a wife and not among your nine clans! ”

That's right, it's no longer among the nine clans! Yan Yi seemed relieved when he heard this. But he reacted to something in an instant, and glared at Yan Cheng fiercely. Yan Cheng was one of the few people who knew this secret, and Yan Yi would never allow Yan Cheng to threaten that person's safety! But Yan Cheng won't listen to himself anymore, he will tell the existence of that person in this hall, which means that he won't help himself keep this secret! What does he have to do to keep Yan Cheng from telling this secret?! I haven't given that person stability and happiness, and I can't protect her, and I must not harm her now!

Yan Yi looked at Yan Cheng, keeping his kneeling posture unchanged, his knees rubbing against the ground and turning in Yan Cheng's direction. He put down all his dignity, and his eyes were full of sincere prayers: "Yan Cheng, if you still have a trace of my life-saving grace to you back then and the kindness of raising you for so many years, I beg you to keep this secret!" Never let anyone know who she is! I want nothing more than that! (To be continued.) )
