A moment later, a group of Yellow Gate eunuchs entered the main hall one after another, each holding a carved wooden box in their arms.

Seeing these one-foot-square boxes, the officials in the court were full of puzzlement, but some officials' faces began to change.

"Wu Zhi! What's inside these boxes? ”

Zhu Mian immediately jumped out and questioned Wu Zhi sharply, I don't know why, looking at those wooden boxes, a shudder suddenly rose in his heart.

All the officials stared at Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi crossed his hands slightly, and said quietly: "There are twenty-two of these wooden boxes, which contain Zhu Wen and other criminals...... Head. ”

"Ahh

As soon as Wu Zhi's words fell, before the ministers could react, the eunuchs holding the wooden box turned frightened, and even the timid couldn't help but scream. But fortunately, none of them threw away the wooden box in their arms.

"It's a head!"

The officials were also frightened by Wu Zhi's words, some were shocked, some were pale, and some were pointing at the wooden boxes.

Zhao Ji on the dragon chair was not afraid when he heard that there was a human head inside the wooden box, but gradually became energetic, looking at his interested eyes, as if he wanted to see the human head in the wooden box.

"Wu Zhi, are these really Zhu Wen's heads?" Cai Jing has always been very calm, and to this day he still doesn't believe that Wu Zhi has killed Zhu Wen and the others.

"Back to Cai Xiang, inside the wooden box are the heads of Zhu Wen and others." Wu Zhi also smiled subtly, and then pointed to a wooden box in the middle and said: "Zhu Wen's head is in this box, if Cai Xiang doesn't believe it, he can open the box and take a look, it should still be fresh." ”

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, Cai Jing looked at the wooden box suspiciously, as if he was hesitating about something.

At this moment, the little eunuch holding Zhu Wen's head was not frightened or sick, and suddenly fainted after a few convulsions, and the wooden box in his hand was also thrown out when he was convulsing.

Suddenly this kind of change even Wu Zhi was startled, fortunately the wooden box did not hit anyone, but the wooden box fell open after it landed, and a black and reddish thing rolled out of it, and rolled around in circles directly in the main hall.

"Head! Head! ”

What is this black, reddish mass that is not a human head? And it's Zhu Wen's head. When the head rolled, the officials jumped up and down, lest they avoid it.

The head didn't roll for long, and finally stopped at Zhu Mian's feet impartially.

"Really... Be... Be...... Cinnabar... Cinnabar...... Zhu Wen! ”

After Zhu Mian saw his head clearly, his face turned pale and he retreated again and again, if it weren't for the support of several officials, he would have already fallen.

All the officials in the court didn't care about any etiquette, they all gathered around to look at Zhu Wen's head, and even Zhao Ji on the dragon chair stretched his neck.

It's just a night later, so Zhu Wen's appearance on the head has not changed from before his death, but his hair is very messy, and his complexion is a little pale and black, but Wu Zhi faintly saw through the gap in the crowd that Zhu Wen's dead eyes were actually open, but Wu Zhi obviously remembered that after killing Zhu Wen last night, he had already closed his eyes.

After the officials read the confirmation of Zhu Wen's head, they quickly listed it, and other eunuchs packed Zhu Wen's head into a wooden box, but this time the box was not covered with a lid, but Zhu Wen's head was violently exposed, and it was held by a bold eunuch.

At this time, there was silence in the main hall, and the officials who had nothing to do with this matter kept scanning the remaining twenty-one wooden boxes, and secretly glanced at Wu Zhi from time to time, their eyes were full of horror!

And Cai Jing and Zhu Mian's group of officials were all pale, and they didn't dare to look at Zhu Wen's head again, let alone look at Wu Zhi again.

Tang Geng's gang of Qingliu and Murong Yanda all looked at Wu Zhi with great admiration, and their eyes were full of joy.

Wu Zhi also looked at them and secretly glanced at them.

Tang Geng and the others immediately understood and began to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Zhu Mian.

"Your Majesty! Now that the Zhu Wen case has been closed and the murderer has been executed, some people who have something to do with this case should also be punished! ”

Tang Geng called back Zhao Ji, who was still stretching his neck to look at Zhu Wen's head, and Wen Tang immediately picked up: "In Zhu Wen's case, Zhu Mian, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is guilty of favoritism and cover-up, and the minister suggests that Zhu Mian be demoted!" ”

"Since Lord Zhu Mian is out of the Ministry of Works, it is better to send Lord Zhu to Hebei to repair the border defense!"

"yes, yes........."

Qingliu, you say a word to me, step by step, Zhu Mian's group of officials under the deterrence of Wu Zhi taking out Zhu Wen's head, no one dared to refute for a while.

The DPRK's and China's remarks were one-sided, and Zhao Ji was also a little at a loss.

"Do you want to talk about politics in front of these bloody heads?"

Cai Jing is worthy of being an old fox, those clear streams who were blocked by a scolding were speechless, and indeed these bloody heads should not be present in the court proceedings.

Cai Jing sneered, and turned to Wu Zhi and asked, "Wu Zhi, since there is His Majesty's will, you will behead these criminals!" But you actually brought these heads to the court to intimidate the officials, what are your intentions? ”

Wu Zhi said unhurriedly: "Cai Xiang misunderstood, Zhu Wen's case has a bad impact, I brought these heads here to ask His Majesty to hang these heads in the downtown to show the anger of the people!" He didn't plan to get it to the court, but Cai Xiang and the adults didn't believe what Wu Zhi said, so Wu Zhi had no choice but to ask for these heads to be brought up. ”

Wu Zhi's words made Cai Jing speechless, just now it was indeed he who repeatedly doubted Wu Zhi's words.

"Yes, yes, yes! Wu Aiqing mentioned that the head of the owl was shown to the public in the recital, but I was negligent.

Zhao Ji looked at Zhu Wen's head with dead eyes and felt cold, and immediately said: "Come on, hang the heads of Zhu Wen and other criminals in the downtown of Bianjing to show the public, so as to set an example!" ”

"Yes!"

After a team of yellow turban wrestlers took the head away, the atmosphere in the hall eased. However, being interrupted by Cai Jing like this, the momentum of impeaching Zhu Mian just now was also suppressed.

"Your Majesty, please order Zhu Mian to be released!" Tang Geng continued to approach.

"Your Majesty, please give an order!"

…………

A group of Qingliu simply went out together to ask Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is just human nature for Lord Zhu Mian to protect Zhu Wen, and he was able to kill his relatives in the end and tie up Zhu Wen and send him to the official to offset the merits, and then punish it is not fair to Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! If it weren't for Lord Zhu Mian's righteous murder, I'm afraid Kaifeng Mansion wouldn't be able to solve the case until now! In my opinion, Lord Zhu Mian not only cannot be punished, but also rewarded! ”

"Your Majesty, please make a clear decision!"

…………

Zhu Mian and the officials on Cai Jing's side immediately jumped out to help Zhu Mian speak, and because of the large number of them, the momentum in the court suddenly became one-sided.

However, the Qingliu people were still arguing stubbornly, and the court suddenly quarreled again.

"Cai Jing, what do you think?" Zhao Ji pinched his eyebrows and asked.

"The old minister wants to ask the Kaifeng Mansion first, what does Master Wu mean, who is in charge of this case?" Cai Jing looked at Wu Zhi and asked.

Wu Zhi has always only talked about the case, and has not been involved in the impeachment of Zhu Mian, Cai Jing's move is undoubtedly to pull Wu Zhi into the water.

"Yes, yes, Wu Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhao Ji said.

According to the evidence, Zhu Mian's crime of covering up is true. Moreover, before Zhu Mian killed his relatives in righteousness, Kaifeng Mansion had already mastered ironclad evidence of Zhu Wen's crime. ”

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he steadily retreated into the official column.

He must not be too involved in this kind of impeachment, nor can he act incompatible with Zhu Mian, otherwise Zhao Ji will suspect that what he did before had ulterior motives.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Wu Zhi was not fooled, Cai Jing snorted coldly, and then said to Zhao Ji Zhengse: "The minister thinks that although Zhu Mian has had it, his merits are enough to withstand it." However, Nian Zhu Wennai is his brother, and Zhu Mian deserves some punishment. ”

After speaking, he looked around at Qingliu and Zhu Mian and the officials of his faction, and asked, "What do you think of the old man's handling like this?" ”

"Lord Cai is the head of a hundred officials, and we should obey it!"

The officials of Zhu Mian's faction naturally agreed respectfully, and Zhu Mian also came out and said: "Weichen is willing to be punished!" ”

And Qingliu's faces suddenly became ugly, they knew that Cai Jing would protect Zhu Mian, but at this time they also said that they had to say something, because Cai Jingming was "partial" to them on his face, and said that he would punish Zhu Mian, but Cai Jing's cleverness was that he didn't say how to punish Zhu Mian.

"I don't know what Cai Xiang plans to do with Zhu Mian?" Tang Geng asked stiffly.

"How to deal with the Zhongshu ministers have their own discussions, and then they will report to His Majesty for an order, Lord Tang, as a speech official, you only need to do your job well, and you shouldn't ask about the affairs of Zhongshu, right?"

One sentence stunned Tang Geng's face turned red, and he couldn't say half a word.

"This group of nerds is good at everything, but their skin is too thin, less than one-ten-thousandth of mine!"

Wu Zhi also laughed secretly in his heart when he saw Tang Geng being bullied like this by Cai Jing on the side, and he looked slightly outside the hall, as if he was waiting for someone to appear.

"It's time to come........."

Wu Zhi was indeed waiting for someone, not only him, but Murong Yanda and the rest of Qingliuxin were waiting for someone to come.

As long as this person comes over, he can turn things around!

Just after Cai Jing flicked his sleeves disdainfully and returned to his position as the chief of the hundred officials, a little eunuch suddenly ran in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng outside the palace asks to see you!"
