Chapter 317: Shouting Grievances and Delusions
"Spare your life." Long Qing spoke in a contemptuous tone. I asked rhetorically. There was also some amusement in his expression. "You know. These crimes you have committed. What a sin. ”
"Dead ...... Capital offense ......," Meng Chong said in a trembling voice. His old face was now snot and tears. It's not sad to watch. It's just a matter of help. His expression was in the wrong place. Above the court. No one will ever think you are innocent and pitiful.
"Capital offense. You know it's a capital offense. Long Qing looked at him and said. Since it is known that it is a capital offense. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. What's the use of begging for mercy now? ”
"Your Majesty. Slaves...... The slave and maid are wronged. "Meng Chong, who didn't know how to explain it at all. I had to shout out loudly.
"Wronged." Long Qing was suddenly amused by Meng Chong's shout. "You were wronged. You talk about it. Somewhere has wronged you. ”
"This ...... This ...... "Meng Chong, who was already very frightened, could still calm down there." Think about your own way of survival. Just squeak and whine there.
"Your Majesty. The minister has something to say. "It's still a high arch.
Seeing Gao Gong stand up and speak again. People around. Even including Longqing was puzzled. The crowd couldn't figure it out at all. What's wrong with this high arch today? His impulse just now. was directly reprimanded by Longqing. And he didn't even care about it at all. Now he actually stood up again and wanted to say something. It's incredible. A lot of people are skeptical. Gao Gong was stimulated by something today. would make such an unwise move.
"Oh. Gao Aiqing, what does this mean. Longqing did not show anger at Gao Gong's repeated pursuit of the act. Instead, he put on a curious face. Asked. "Since Gao Aiqing said it. Let's make it clear. After all, the stakes are high. It's better to be cautious. ”
"Back to Your Majesty." Really. Long Qing said. Gao Gong also began to speak. "Everything is about evidence. Especially with this kind of thing. It's not just human lives that matter. It is also related to the credibility of a person. Or be solemn. Just now, Gonggong Meng had already read the recital presented to His Majesty by Gonggong Feng. It seems that the situation is very serious. But Wechen heard now. But there is a concern in my heart. The word 'evidence' is mentioned in the excerpt. Weichen dared to ask. Where is the evidence? Whether Gonggong Meng is guilty or not. It's not too late to look at this 'evidence'. "That's all he has to say. Gao Gong also looked at Feng Bao with rather contemptuous eyes.
It's just that the high arch looks like this. only to find that Feng Bao was also looking at him with a smile. And it was definitely a look of confidence. This time. Gao Gong's original full confidence has dropped by more than half. The reason why he dared to speak like that just now. Not because he knew anything about it. Instead, he felt that Feng Bao should be bluffing. In his opinion. Feng Bao and Zhang Fan must have been in constant contact with each other. If Zhang Fan confiscated Liu Shan, what evidence was obtained. Then Feng Bao is expected to know soon. That's it. Feng Bao should have been many days ago when he just got the news. He folded the bullet and impeached Meng Chong. And now. Feng Bao waited until now to make a move. This really made Gao Gong feel suspicious.
And there is. Although he knew that Meng Chong was not a person with extraordinary intelligence. But in his opinion. Meng Chong shouldn't be stupid to that point. Let someone else hold his handle in his hands. But there is no trace of excavation.
There is some truth to the idea of high arches. Only this time. But he miscalculated.
"Hmm. What Gao Aiqing said is very reasonable. Long Qing nodded seriously. Said. "In all things you should be evidence-based. If there is no evidence, they will arbitrarily judge the merits and demerits of people. Isn't my world going to be chaotic? ”
"Your Majesty said yes." Gao Gong echoed.
"In that case......" Long Qing said. Turned his gaze to Feng Bao. Said. "Feng Bao. In the excerpt, you said that all this you sued Meng Chong was evidenced. Now let's put the evidence out in public. ”
"Your Majesty." Feng Bao walked to the center of the court very respectfully. Said to Longqing. "There is no such evidence on the slave."
"What did you say?" Long Qing looked at Feng Bao with a rather unexpected application. Long Qing really didn't know about this matter before. It's just that Zhang Fan was involved in the excerpt handed over by Feng Bao. And Longqing himself knows it. The relationship between Zhang Fan and Feng Bao is also good. So. He is because he trusts Zhang Fan. I took it for granted that I trusted Feng Bao's words.
Merely. Long Qing really didn't expect it. Feng Bao would actually put a big oolong out at this time. This situation suddenly made Longqing a little dumbfounded.
It's not just Longqing. The ministers below who heard Feng Bao's words were almost dumbfounded. Feng Bao is very cautious. These officials also know it on a daily basis. But nowadays. Feng Bao's actions. It really doesn't seem like the thing for a prudent person to do.
"Feng Bao. You have complained to your Majesty without any evidence. You're a bully. "The high arch is suddenly difficult to start. Pointing at Feng Bao and scolding angrily. "Your Majesty. Feng Bao deceived the king. Despise Your Majesty. Trying to make false accusations against others without evidence. Please also ask Your Majesty to punish him for his sins. ”
"Your Majesty. The slave maid really didn't do any of that. It's all ...... It's all Feng Bao who falsely accused the slave maid. Meng Chong, who was still kneeling there and trembling just now. Now he has straightened his waist. Said loudly. It seems to be trying his best to show his innocence and integrity.
"Lord Gao, Gonggong Meng. The slave has not finished speaking. Feng Bao said to the two of them unhurriedly. Both of them are people of status. Roaring in front of His Majesty. What kind of system. ”
"You Feng Bao. Death is still there with a hard mouth. This time you have committed the great crime of deception. I'll see how you ......" Meng Chong listened to Feng Bao's words. But he immediately retorted. Pointing at Feng Bao and said angrily. It's just that he suddenly found out. Gao Gong's voice, which was still helping him talk just now. Now it's gone. A sudden sense of dread struck him. made him feel like falling into an ice cellar at this moment. Even though it's the hottest time of July. Coupled with the nervousness just now, he sweated all over. But this time. Meng Chong felt it. Sweat-soaked clothes. Stick to yourself. There is a cold swishing feeling.
"......" Gao Gong was silent for a while. The reason is precisely because of Feng Bao's words. Actually, just now. When he opened his mouth to Long Qing to question Feng Bao. Looking at Feng Bao's ease. And full of confidence. Gao Gong had a bad feeling in his heart. And what Feng Bao said just now. It made him understand. Feng Bao must have grasped some real evidence to suddenly attack in today's court.
Suddenly. Gao Gong thought of something. He thought about why he was here today. Why is there nothing important in this court? In the days when the early dynasty ended early. In the afternoon. All the courtiers would gather here. Come to think of it. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan who was standing on the side. Seeing Zhang Fanna, although serious. But there was a slight smile between the eyebrows. High arch at this moment. I understood everything.
He understood. Where is the evidence that Feng Bao is talking about? He even understood. Since Feng Bao had already learned about Meng Chong's corruption and perversion of the law. But why did he refuse to fold the bullet and impeach him? We have to wait until today. Everything, everything. All the reasons are on Zhang Fan.
"Your Majesty. There was no evidence of the slave and the maid. But someone has. Feng Bao still looked confident. Lang Sheng said.
As soon as he said this, he said it. Immediately there was a lot of discussion in the court. The officials were discussing at the same time. is also looking around the court. Looking for the person Feng Bao said.
Zhang Fan saw this. He sighed slightly. Walked out. He understood. Now it's time for him to play. Let's be honest. If you can. He really didn't want to risk it. After all, he also hates high arches. But it's not worth fighting Gao Gong for this matter now.
But on the other hand. He had to help with this again. After all, Feng Bao is in the future. Whether it's for Zhang Fan himself. Or to Zhang Juzheng. are very helpful. And now is the time for Zhang Fan to offer Feng Bao help. Not to mention. He had already written in his previous letter to Feng Bao that he would help.
Again. Let's talk about it. He can't get out of it. After all, that evidence was unearthed because of him. How could he have escaped this scene?
Come to think of it. Since sooner or later it will have to be said. Then you might as well have a good time. Speak out loud. Not to mention. Although Zhang Fan didn't want to start a war with Gao Gong now. But that's a matter of time after all. If he still doesn't do anything this time. Gao Gong may think that he is not a little afraid of Gao Gong. Although this situation does not hurt Zhang Fan in the slightest. But it's definitely going to be very unpleasant.
Figured it out. Zhang Fan is no longer hiding. Simply walked out.
"Your Majesty. Wechen has something to say. Zhang Fan said to Long Qing.
"Oh. Zhang Aiqing has something to say at this time. Longqing saw Zhang Fan come out. In an instant, I understood what was going on. Although he still asked. But he already knew it in his heart.
"What Gonggong Feng said. Evidence of correspondence between Gonggong Meng and Na Liu Shan. Now it's here in Wechen. Zhang Fan said.
The people below who heard Zhang Fan's words were all surprised. And Feng Bao looked like he was winning. The high arch is as pale as water. I couldn't tell what he was thinking at this time. But Meng Chong. But he trembled again.
