Chapter 201: It takes seven inches to fight a snake

The appearance of the talk hand was something that Da Xi Xiunan did not expect anyway. He thought that Tan Yingshou had died in the fire in the detention village, especially when he found out that Shi Zhiyi's side might have been hiding a holy powerhouse, he confirmed his thoughts.

Therefore, Yu Zhongcheng and Da Xi Xiunan pushed these accusations against them all to the two dead men, Wang Hao and Tan Yingshou. Although this method is a bit clumsy, and even a discerning person may not believe it, in the absence of substantial evidence, no one can say that these things must not have been done by them.

However, what I never expected was that Tan Yingshou not only did not die, but also threw himself under the command of the third prince. On this point, Da Xi Xiunan was puzzled. In the tens of thousands of years of the Great War between humans and demons, there were also many Terrans who became traitors out of fear of the powerful strength of the Demon Race, and fought side by side with their companions, but in the thousands of years after the end of the Great War, there was almost no precedent for the subordinates of one force to take the initiative to join another force, not to mention that the force he was originally in was still the Daxi family with the longest history and the deepest accumulation among the eight major families.

Although Tan Yingshou is only an ordinary member of the many worships of the Daxi family, he has lived in Kyoto for more than ten years, and he naturally knows a lot about some unsightly deeds between the Daxi family and the eldest prince, and some things he even knows better than Daxi Xiunan.

With such a strong witness, the eldest prince is almost difficult to argue, not to mention, he has no argument for these things.

The eldest prince shouted hysterically: "Are you trying to bring me down just on the basis of this stack of broken papers and the confession of this subordinate? What about the evidence? There is no evidence, since you have accused me of so many crimes, you must have some real evidence, right? According to what you said, I colluded with dozens of gangs, connived at them to loot for more than ten years, and obtained benefits as high as hundreds of millions of taels of gold, so where is this money?"

In the camp of the three princes, Hong Licheng and several other imperial historians looked at each other. As imperial historians, they have the power to hear about things, that is, they can impeach them on the basis of hearsay alone without any evidence. What's more, what the three princes gave them was not just an ethereal piece of news, but also a ledger more than a foot tall that had been sorted out, plus an extremely crucial witness.

If an ordinary official is impeached, this is enough to send the other party to prison first, and then torture to extract confessions, and then search the house. However, this time, the target of their impeachment is the eldest son of Emperor Jingchang, and half of them may become the eldest prince of the next Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Yu Zhongqian may not have much experience in political fighting, but this is the old business of Hong Licheng and other imperial historians, and they naturally considered the issue of evidence before attacking the eldest prince. However, it is extremely difficult to collect evidence for these crimes they accused, so how could the eldest prince be left behind to wait for others to find out about these crimes? Therefore, their plan is to make the eldest prince and Da Xi Xiunan chaotic through this series of successive accusations.

However, their goal was only half achieved, although the eldest prince and Da Xi Xiunan were forced to retreat step by step, but they did not let go, first shirked all the charges on their subordinates, and after being exposed, they finally pointed to the key point that they had no evidence in their hands.

After all, what Shi Zhiyi got from Beigong Yan was only half of the materials. If he gets all the materials, these incriminating evidence can form a complete closed loop and corroborate each other, at that time, even if the eldest prince wants to deny it, there is no way.

But right now, they're still a little way from there.

And the officials of the eldest prince's camp, who were originally beaten under a series of accusations from the supporters of the three princes, were dizzy, but now they found that the other party was stuck, how could they miss this golden opportunity and began to fight back.

The two factions of people came and went, arguing in the court and making a mess.

"That's enough! shut up for me!" Emperor Jingchang couldn't help but be angry when he looked at the situation below like a scoundrel scolding the street, and had a faint headache.

As an emperor, what he wants to see is naturally that his sons will engage in healthy competition in various fields to show that they are qualified to be the prince, instead of pouring dirty water on each other like this in front of him and making the court into a miasma.

However, he also knew that with his eldest son's temperament, what the third faction said did not dare to say that it was 100% correct, but at least seventy or eighty percent was true. Emperor Jingchang was curious, where did the third child get such a detailed charge and account book?

He didn't think that the boss would be stupid enough to sort these things up and wait for the third child to steal them, obviously it takes a lot of time, energy and scheming to collect them, could it be that the third child did it himself?

If it is true, then the third child is so forbearing, but he is also a material to be an emperor.

Emperor Jingchang decided to put some pressure on each of his two sons to see how far they could go.

"Hong Licheng, since you accuse the eldest prince of these eight major crimes, then you are responsible for finding out the relevant evidence, and you will be limited to make progress within half a month, otherwise, you will be exiled for eight thousand miles for slandering the royal family!"

......

......

Hong Licheng and the others naturally couldn't find evidence of the crimes of the eldest prince, and the one they were good at might be useful against ordinary officials, but when they faced the object of the eldest prince's identity, it was completely useless.

This task naturally fell back to Yu Zhongqian, and this battle started from him, and he naturally couldn't stay out of it. And if he really sits back and watches Hong Licheng and others be exiled, then the military spirit of the three princes will be dispersed, and at that time, he will be farther and farther away from the position of the prince.

He clearly knows his eldest brother's character of revenge, if he loses in this battle, his ending will be far inferior to his uncles who are idle princes, and even his mother and sister and Shi Zhiyi will be implicated.

However, as a novice in the political arena, what methods and ways does Yu Zhongqian have to find this evidence? Although half a month seems to be a long time, if the eldest prince wants to destroy the evidence and transfer his wealth, it may be enough in just a few days.

In the secret room of the Shi Mansion, Yu Zhongqian and Shi Zhiyi both fell silent.

"I'll go to Wangjiang Tower tomorrow to try it, pay a high price, and see how far they can do it, but in my estimation, the result will not be too optimistic. With the degree of secrecy of these things done by the eldest prince, they should not be able to grasp too many things, and Wangjianglou has always only sold intelligence, and has never heard of being responsible for searching for evidence. Shi Zhiyi said.

"Thank you, Xiaoyi. Yu Zhongqian raised his head, "Dead horses and live horse doctors, no matter what, let's try first." I didn't discuss the matter of my dispute, but I involved you, and I really didn't want to go. If you can't do anything, you should leave Kyoto early and return to Yunqi City!"
