……

Tan Yongzhi's eyes widened, and the thin fingers pointing at Li Zao and Zuo Mingqiu trembled with anger, and the ministers behind him were also in an uproar, and even the father-in-law from the palace couldn't help but stomp his feet.

No one thought that Zhou Yuan's answer would be so concise and clear, and he simply admitted the fact that this woman was Li Zao, in front of the ministers of cultural relics, this was equivalent to confirming the charge of covering up, and there was no room for maneuver!

"Why do you think you're in a hurry......

The old man who was leaning against the courtyard wall had his facial features huddled together, shaking his head at the ground with regret on his face, he really couldn't understand why Zhou Yuan admitted it so simply.

You must know that Zhou Yuan's master, that is, Yuan Pu, the national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has stayed in the palace and has not left, and he must have noticed the movement here.

Zhou Yuan delayed a little longer, maybe he would be able to fight for a holy decree over there, and it would not be impossible for the Jedi to turn the tables at that time, after all, Zhou Yuan was His Majesty's favorite son!

But now, Zhou Yuan admitted it in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, which means that there is no other room for maneuver in this matter, even if Emperor Zhou personally drafts the decree and makes everyone not allow Zhou Yuan to investigate again, it will be useless.

Even if the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Tan Yongzhi was not present, it was impossible for the other ministers to agree, because it was a spy of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"As His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are you really shielding the spies of Great Xia, how can this be!"

Tan Yongzhi's chest rose and fell violently, pointing at Zhou Yuan, gritting his teeth and shouting with extreme hatred:

"You have failed the people of the world, the trust of the civil and military ministers in you, Third Highness!"

When Zhou Yuan heard this, he was silent for a while, and a trace of seriousness finally appeared on his noble face, not as frivolous as before, he looked at Tan Yongzhi and asked incomprehensibly:

"Dare to ask Lord Tan, why did these two friends of mine get involved with the Great Xia spies."

Zhou Yuan looked puzzled, looked at everyone and asked:

"I just let these two live in my house for a few days, and help me do something by the way, how inexplicably, these two friends of mine have become spies of the Great Xia Dynasty, and I have become traitors who take in spies?"

This question made everyone stunned, including Zhou Wuji, who thought he was sure to win, and looked proud.

"What happened in the Sword Pavilion is known to the world." Tan Yongzhi regained his composure, his hands were in his sleeves, his voice was as calm as a cold spring, he looked at Zhou Yuan and said:

"In the Sword Pavilion, those two spies of the Great Xia Dynasty personally admitted their identities, they are the people of the Great Xia Dynasty Demon Eradicator, and they confessed to seeking revenge from Mei Chuan!"

"They set a trap, using the New Sun Sword and the Shenhai Sword to fight fiercely with the Lord of the Plum Chuan Valley, and even blocked the finger of His Majesty's Divine Soul Clone, but this also brought those two to the limit, and the Lord of the Plum Chuan Valley is still alive!"

"But just when the Plum Chuan Valley Lord cast a spell to kill them, Li Zao, the personal disciple of the Plum Blossom Valley Lord, killed Mei Chuan with his own hands, and then followed the Great Xia Spy to leave in the space teleportation array!" "These are all facts!"

Tan Yongzhi looked at Zhou Yuan and asked in a flat voice, of course he understood how Zhou Yuan wanted to quibble, that is, to directly overthrow Li Zao is suspicion of being a spy, but unfortunately, there were many witnesses present at that time, even including the Seven Princes of the current dynasty.

Zhou Yuan nodded calmly, looked at Tan Yongzhi and said, "What the adults said is right, these are all facts. ”

"But just by virtue of this, how can it be proved that Li is a spy?"

When Zhou Wuji heard this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Third brother, I know that you and Li Zao have a marriage contract, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, I hope you will think from the standpoint of the people and the country, instead of shielding her for personal feelings, which will make our Great Zhou Dynasty fall into danger of overturning!"

"Big brother, you're talking too much."

Zhou Yuan shook his head, looked at Zhou Wuji and asked calmly: "Since it was you who led the troops to surround my palace, then you can answer, may I ask my fiancée Li Zao, why is she a spy of the Great Xia Dynasty?" ”

"You're still stubborn!" Zhou Wuji looked at Zhou Yuan's calm expression, and for no reason, he was angry, pointed at him and scolded:

"I'll tell you why, because Li Zao killed her master Mei Chuan, and then followed those spies and escaped in the space array!"

"That doesn't prove anything." Zhou Yuan shook his head, and calmly took out a bright yellow page from his arms and sewed it on the outside with silk.

With a calm expression, he unfastened the button underneath, and the bright yellow scroll spread out smoothly on the ground as a picture, and it was a full three meters away before reaching the end.

"What's written on this?" Tan Yongzhi frowned and asked, his eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see the small words written on the scroll clearly.

"Life, the life of Mei Chuan, the owner of Plum Blossom Valley." Zhou Yuan's expression was calm, looking at this talk Yongzhi, and also looking at everyone in the audience, he said in a loud and calm voice: "In other words, this is the evidence of Mei Chuan's crime of harming people." ”

"According to the incomplete statistics of His Royal Highness, Mei Chuan has killed a total of 1,337 innocent people in this life, more than half of which are the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty, powerful ministers, and sect elders in the rivers and lakes."

"She has repeatedly violated the laws of Zhou, played with power, formed a party for personal gain, and indirectly killed countless people, she was the one who destroyed the Lunatic Cult, she was the one who killed the Emperor Hill pit, she was the minister who died violently in the Imperial City Prison Department three years ago, she was the owner of Beihai Town, and the eruption of Huoling Mountain caused the surrounding villages to be drowned, and she was also ...... more than 200 people were killed and injured."

Zhou Yuan threw the scroll into Tan Yongzhi's hand, looked at the Great Zhou Dynasty's Rite Department Shangshu, and said calmly:

"What I said just now is just some of the evil things that Mei Chuan did during his lifetime, and there are many more left, I really can't finish it, after all, I wrote this thing more than three meters long."

Tan Yongzhi placed the scroll on the ground flatly, and looked at the cases recorded on it with a blank expression, one by one, especially when he wrote that Mei Chuan even put his hand into the imperial court, and the new civil official he was very optimistic about was also killed by her At this time, this Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who even His Majesty dared to scare, was completely angry. "This ...... It's true! ”

Tan Yongzhi picked up the scroll and asked in a trembling voice.

He is already an old man, he has been committed to the benefit of the people all his life, and even scolded him several times in His Majesty's imperial study for the policy of benefiting the people, and the angry Emperor Zhou said several times that he would cut off his head, but he was not afraid once.

Because it's all for the people.

No matter what kind of official he is, whether he is in charge of etiquette or soldiers, he is an official of the imperial court, and those who are officials must serve the people, this is his lifelong will, and he has done it.

So when he saw that because of the evil things Mei Chuan did, so many innocent people in Shikoku, even the baby and pregnant woman in swaddling clothes were tortured and killed, Tan Yongzhi's whole person was as angry as if he was about to explode, and his eyes were terrifying, as if he was going to pick up someone's skin and cramp!

Zhou Yuan nodded and replied:

"Of course it's true."

"In fact, more than half of the data in this is investigated by me with the help of the imperial court, and the remaining half is my ??????????????? 's fiancée, Li Zao offered to me. ”

Zhou Yuan stepped forward and touched Li Zao's head with a pitying expression: "Poor my Zao'er, he was secretly accepted as an apprentice by Mei Chuan since he was a child, branded with his soul, and he had to obey her command in everything, and even watched his beloved fall off the cliff, and watched the teacher who had taught him for several years die tragically. ”

"Mei Chuan is a complete villain, she not only violated the laws of Zhou, but also violated the treaty between my Great Zhou Dynasty and Great Xia, when our two dynasties formed an alliance to explore the Emperor Qiu, Mei Chuan didn't know how many soldiers he took the opportunity to kill in Great Xia, so there will be the revenge of the Sword Pavilion some time ago."

"Talking about Lao Shangshu, I want to ask, shouldn't such a person be killed?"

Talking about Yongzhi's words, he was silent for a long time, all he thought about was the words on the scroll in his hand, the evil deeds that Mei Chuan had done, the depth of his scheming, had broken countless happy families, and he was disgusted and trembling when he saw it.

Should such a person be killed?

"Of course you should!"

Tan Yongzhi's eyes were angry, and he clenched his fists and said: "If everything recorded on this is true, even if Mei Chuan is killed a thousand times and ten thousand times, it will not be enough to repay her for the sins she committed!" ”

"So Li Zao killed her!" Zhou Yuan took a step forward, the tip of his nose wrinkled, and he took a step forward with an angry face, and the glorious and noble coercion like the great sun spread out, making the hearts of everyone present tremble.

"As far as I know, Mei Chuan's last plan before his death was to use Li Zao to steal the national fortune of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and Li Zao killed her, which is equivalent to protecting the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"But at this time, she was said by you to be a spy of Great Xia, and even this morning, Li Zao and the royal worship of our dynasty stopped the demon of the Weaving Heaven Pavilion at the gate of the city, and she was seriously injured, and she had to suffer such accusations from you before she recovered from her injuries, how ridiculous it is!"

"The Ministry of Rites, His Royal Highness the Prince, and you soldiers who rushed into my house to search, you guys, can any of you give me an explanation for today's matter!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes exuded majesty, and he roared and questioned the audience.
