Chun Hui followed Lan Ting all the way to the meeting hall of Ying Tianfu Ya, calm and relaxed.

At this time, she no longer thought about whether this appearance would bring trouble to the future of slander, because she really wanted to watch this battle, she hadn't even seen Dou Zhang's enemy, if everything went well, she shouldn't be able to see Ying Tianfu Yin, who was highly regarded in the dynasty, if she missed this opportunity, she wanted to see these high-sounding people, who were high-sounding and loyal to the society but held up the butcher's knife to the innocent without regard for human life, what kind of face they were born of.

According to Lan Ting's inference, Dou Zhang was not the one who made the plan to kill the foreign family's relatives, nor was he the one who carried out the plan, he should have only been involved in the Yuanhai case and this eventual slander incident, but Chun Gui did not reduce his hatred for Dou Zhang.

He is an insider, he knows that everything is ordered by the one he is loyal to, and a family is in a state of grief, but Dou Zhang disregards good and evil, will not regret it and will not blame himself for it, and continues to hold high the banner of "Dadao" to help the abuse, Chungui really wants to see how brazen this kind of person can be.

In the conference hall, only the subordinate officials of Ying Tianfu headed by Dou Zhang were confronting King Zhou.

Dou Zhang accepted the complaint of Hua Xiaoji and others, but he would not immediately judge the case, and the plaintiffs pointed at King Zhou this time, even if he was as powerful as Ying Tianfu Yin, he really did not have the qualifications to arbitrarily judge the case.

The arrival of Lan Ting seemed to make Dou Zhang feel relieved, and you can imagine how unsmooth their discussion with King Zhou was before.

Dou Zhang just glanced at the spring return who followed Lan Ting inside, he should be surprised by the identity of this "young man", but the tension of the situation made him uninterested in paying attention to this trivial matter.

Of course, King Zhou recognized Chun Gui at a glance, and his heart was out of place and missed a beat.

Of course, he knew that there was Lan Ting's vigilance against him, and there was no intentional alienation of Chungui, such a result could be said to be caused by him, and perhaps it was expected by him, but he resisted in his heart, and he stubbornly determined that the estrangement of Chungui was a last resort, after all, she was a female dependent, and she was married, so she was bound by etiquette and morality, and the estrangement was due to fear, and the fear was precisely because his heart had been shaken, What she feared was nothing more than a wrong step, and she would never recover.

So at this time, she didn't even look at herself, she was hiding her emotions with indifference.

King Zhou became more and more cynical, and his attitude towards Dou Zhang was extremely provocative.

"Don't come." He smiled first, Feng Leng didn't want to hide it in his smile at all: "King Gu has already told Duke Dou that this case is not up to him, and I know it with him, so I want to bring Hua Xiaoji and others back to the palace of King Wu, how do I know that Duke Dou is unwilling to obey the order, so I have to wait for Don to come and then discuss, in vain let me spend all these time in the Yingtian Mansion, there are still so many people who have heard the news outside the palace, and Dou Gong will not appease and calm down the suspicions aroused by the slander of Hua Xiaoji and others. โ€

Chungui looked at the anger in Dou Zhang's eyes that couldn't be hidden, making that originally dignified face seem to be more serious.

The rumored Dou Fuyin and the person in front of him are actually not deviant.

He is not one of those fat-bellied officials in the book, he is indeed thin and severe, and his official authority for many years has not exhausted his literati demeanor, he sits solemnly with a faint bookish atmosphere, his black gauze hat is upright, and his official uniform has not been patched in order to show his incorruptibility and self-restraint, he is neatly dressed, looks at the shape, and has nothing to do with well-dressed beasts.

"There is no objection in the court, it is the best policy for Duke Dou to appease the people immediately, and as for Hua Xiaoji and others, they should be handed over to His Royal Highness for interrogation." Lan Ting agreed.

When he returned in the spring, he saw Dou Zhang's brows frowning heavily.

She glanced at the rest of the officials present, and saw hesitation and surprise on their faces, as if they didn't know why this inexplicable confrontation had occurred today, and this should not be a joke.

Dou Zhang can successfully lurk, his accomplices should not be too many, otherwise he is afraid that he will already show his feet, but Dou Zhang should be extremely confident, even if he has not instructed his subordinate officials to tell them the truth, once he confronts the king of Zhou, the subordinate officials will stand on the position of "justice" and shout for him.

"Deputy Envoy Zhao, Watson was originally a deputy envoy of Zhao, and now he has sued many people for the crime of perverting the law and favoritism under the rule of Jiangnan, Dou Mou, as Ying Tianfu Yin, should accept the complaint, how can he hand over the plaintiffs to His Royal Highness?"

"In this case, His Royal Highness and the court will definitely give an explanation to the people of Jiangnan." Lan Ting is still unequivocal.

"I beg your pardon for not being able to obey orders." Dou Zhang got up, and as he got up, many subordinate officials of the government also got up one after another despite hesitation.

"The lone king has the royal golden order, and he has the right to supervise the civil affairs and criminal cases in the four provinces south of the Yangtze River, and the guards in the Lone King's Mansion today must take Hua Xiaoji and others away from you, Dou Zhang, if you stop it, it will be disobeying the imperial order, which is equivalent to committing chaos!"

Of course, Dou Zhang thought that King Zhou and Lan Ting would not be restrained, but it was indeed unexpected for King Zhou to be so strong that he had to bring Hua Xiaoji and others back to King Wu's palace, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, this time it was the last opportunity to bring down King Zhou, and there was no point in making a mistake.

"The lower officials naturally dare not disobey the holy order, if His Royal Highness insists on doing so, the lower officials do not dare to stop it, so they have to impeach the ministers and ask the emperor to cut it."

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to fight the imperial lawsuit.

However, Dou Zhang is very sure.

Because only he knows that most of what Hua Xiaoji told is not slander, and those state and county officials have indeed bent the law and embezzled ink! None of these people were members of the Zhou Dynasty, and when Yuan Ji and the Zhou Dynasty were in a showdown, they all held a wait-and-see neutral attitude, and were not in the sight of the Zhou Dynasty.

Under coercion and temptation, everyone surrendered.

It was his perversion of concealing and not reporting those people, because neither King Zhou nor Zhao Jibei were unaware of it, but since these people are indeed guilty, why are they afraid of the court's inspection? At that time, they insisted that they were bribed by Lou Zang and Lou's silk village, and Lou Zang and King Zhou were closely related, and King Zhou was bound to be speechless.

The more arrogant the King of Zhou is now, the more it will cause the people's anger to boil, and the four provinces south of the Yangtze River are restless, how can the emperor insist on still making the King of Zhou the crown prince?

But what made Dou Zhang a little uneasy was that Lan Ting's attitude was too calm, as if he had expected this accident to happen, could it be that he knew that it was useless to show weakness, so he tried to control the situation by strong means?

Zhao Lanting will never think ...... If you kill Hua Xiaoji and others, you can turn the tide, right?

"Duke Dou wants to play, the court naturally doesn't dare to obstruct it, Duke Dou please." Lan Ting smiled slightly.

Is it confident, or is it strong on the outside? Dou Zhang couldn't tell at this time.

But he also has a killer feature, he thinks that he will definitely be able to win the trust of Xu Ge Lao, he is sure that Xu Ge Lao is not determined to participate in the selection of the storage position - Yuan Ji has been defeated, the cabinet will be out of balance, Xu Ge Lao can no longer rashly advise which prince to appoint as the prince, as long as the cabinet still has a neutral attitude, his reputation as an official for many years, coupled with the operation of that one, is enough to compete with Ning Guogong and Xuan

The two forces of the court are in confrontation.

He is not Yuan Ji, and he is not a waste like Cheng Guogong, King Zhou and Zhao Ji will definitely lose!

Now all he needs to do is to submit the incriminating evidence he has already collected to the royal court, and wait for the judgment with peace of mind.

Dou Zhang watched in silence as King Zhou instructed his imposing guards, and took Hua Xiaoji and the others to King Wu's palace openly.

"Dou Gong, this ...... Seeing that the autumn grain requisition has been completed, how could such an accident suddenly occur? Could it be that Dou Gong ...... Do you really want to impeach His Royal Highness King Zhou? Ying Tianfu Cheng has not yet recovered from the shock.

"The king of Zhou is so arrogant, forcing us not to interfere in this case, there must be a violation of the law to cover up, we are ordered by the court to help the king of Zhou to supervise the government, it is the duty of the courtiers, and now I find that the prince is involved in the crime and ask for the holy judgment is also the duty of the courtiers, everyone, we are the officials of the imperial court, not the ministers of the private palace of the king of Zhou, and we are loyal to our duties to live up to the top of this skull, and the official supplement on the gown." Dou Zhang's words can be described as a golden voice and a heart-wrenching sound.

And when Dou Zhang and his subordinate officials were busy "collecting criminal evidence" and preparing an impeachment, in Anping Courtyard, Chun Gui also asked Lan Ting the doubts in her heart: "Fei Xiaolang was invited by the uncle to Nanjing, right?" โ€

"Naturally." Lan Ting admitted without hesitation: "Although I have been prepared, but this public opinion war is inevitable, the enemy party is still taking the old road of encouraging Confucian protests, and it cannot be said that their plan is inappropriate. โ€

But of course there will be "buts".

"This time, in order to arouse the anger of the people, the enemy party has limited the damaged groups to a wide range, from the squire to the common people, but His Royal Highness is as busy as I was before, could it be that what he did was useless? The real poor people really benefited from this picket of illegal public grain chiefs, and the so-called poor households they were looking for were simply full of nonsense and slander, so I used this as a breakthrough to destroy the opponent's plan to use public opinion to build momentum. If the people don't make a fuss, a few Confucian scholars will have no effect on shaking their lips and tongues, not to mention that even if it is Biszlin's connections, I will not lose to my opponent. โ€

"Uncle naturally won't neglect Fei Xiaolang's safety?" Spring return asked.

"This time, the opponent is much more shrewd than Yuan Ji." Lan Ting said: "The plan to lure you into the urn will not work, they know that I will arrange for someone to take care of Fei Xiaolang's safety, and they will definitely not take risks." โ€

If that person is really so stupid, things will be simpler, maybe the battle of Nanjing will be able to wipe out the opponent, and there is no need to wait for the king of Zhou to become the crown prince or even when he ascends the throne, but Lan Ting obviously does not have such an optimistic attitude.

"What about Fengjun Pavilion? Do you still have to fan the flames? Chungui asked again.

"It's not the right time yet." Lan Ting narrowed the corners of his eyes slightly: "How can I wait until Dou Zhang presents his recital to the Imperial Palace." โ€

Chungui sneered: "I'm worried that Dou Zhang is holding back now." โ€

"He won't." Lan Ting pointed to his face: "The true face has been revealed here, hypocrisy is no longer necessary, Dou Zhang has no need to protect that person, Dou Zhang wins, it is valuable, it is tantamount to admitting defeat if he does not move forward, what is the use of leaving the waste?" So no one dissuaded Dou Zhang, this time, Dou Zhang will definitely be ruined. โ€

But Dou Zhang will not have such a consciousness, just like Hua Xiaoji, and now under house arrest in Wu Wanggong, although he is worried about his life, he still firmly believes that his behavior is above board, he is not afraid of death, and even holds the determination to die, thinking that he deserves to die.

Therefore, there is no need for interrogation, let alone torture.

Lan Ting even still "entertained" it with good drinks and food.
