Chapter 45 My wife is here again
"Zaosuke, if you can't come up with any real evidence today and add guilt to crime, it won't be as simple as death. Perhaps, you will experience the feeling of execution in Lingchi."
With just one word from the Minister of Punishment, Zuo Zhu was forced into a corner.
Everyone focused their attention on Zuosuke. They all knew that no matter how eloquent Zuosuke was or how resourceful he was, as long as he had evidence, everything would be in vain.
Zuosuke frowned slightly.
Seeing Zuosuke's appearance, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department couldn't help but smile, and asked step by step: "Zuosuke, there is no evidence. This is a false accusation, a crime of deceiving the emperor, and a serious crime of losing one's head."
Another big hat was placed on Zuosuke's head without mercy.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Su shook his head slightly, seeming to lament Zuo Zhu's overestimation of his capabilities.
As the number one person in the court, he has seen countless people die in court because of a simple word.
The boy in front of him may have some confidence in his eloquence, but it is simply fanciful to want to clear his name.
Zuosuke suddenly relaxed his brows, smiled slightly, and lowered his eyes slightly: "Of course I have the evidence. In the prison of the Criminal Department, I don't know how many prisoners Mr. Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department has secretly killed.
It was only after I was imprisoned that I knew these inside stories. As long as the emperor sent someone to check carefully, they would know. "
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xueye couldn't help but be shocked. His subordinates used their power to kill people privately, which had already touched his bottom line. His eyes towards the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment immediately became dangerous.
"Secretary Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Justice, is this really the case?"
Emperor Xueye took a deep look at Zuo Zhu, and then turned his gaze to Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, with a somewhat sinister tone in his tone.
"No, no." The left minister of the Criminal Department shivered all over, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a thud.
"Wei Chen is wronged. Wei Chen really has never done such a thing."
"Poor." Emperor Xueye ignored the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment and turned to the young eunuch behind him and said coldly.
"Yes." The eunuch agreed and quickly retreated to investigate the case.
The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment looked even paler. Indeed, he had executed prisoners privately. That was because there was not enough space in the cell and because of the straw construction of the cell.
As a result, prisoners could not be held in the basement of the cell, so the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment came up with this strategy.
However, it has nothing to do with forming a party for personal gain or seeking to usurp the throne.
Now, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment has severely cursed all the eighteen generations of Zuosuke's ancestors.
The face of the Minister of Justice was also pale, and he looked at Zuosuke with a hint of fear. He never expected that Zuosuke would tell the truth and lie, and lie and lie.
It actually turned the situation around in an instant and forced them to the edge of the cliff.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Su looked at Zuo Zhu with slightly surprised eyes, gently touched his beard, and murmured: "True, true, false, false, true, this trick is really wonderful."
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to take a breath.
Soon, the young eunuch who had just left came back tremblingly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment is indeed responsible for killing prisoners privately."
When the left minister of the Criminal Department heard this, his face turned pale and weak, and his head hit the ground hard, once, twice, three times, and four times.
"Bounce, jump, jump." There was a thumping sound on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wei Chen is wronged. Wei Chen really has no intention of seeking to usurp the throne. Wei Chen is so daring towards the Emperor."
On the dragon chair, Emperor Xueye said expressionlessly, "Come here, strip off the official uniform of the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment and execute him."
When the left minister of the Criminal Department heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
"Bangbengbengbang." The left minister of the Criminal Department hit his forehead hard on the ground again and again, making the ground sound loudly.
Two guards walked in expressionlessly, picked up the left minister of the Criminal Department's arm, and dragged him away.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this humble minister has been wronged."
The voice of the left minister of the Criminal Department echoed in the hall, making everyone feel chills in their hearts.
Turning their heads, they looked at Zuosuke who was standing expressionless. This time, no one thought Zuosuke was an ignorant child anymore.
The person who had previously thought that Zuosuke would definitely die without evidence felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been slapped hard.
And it's still the kind that smokes after the left side is drawn and the right side is drawn.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and the look he looked at Zuo Zhu was filled with a hint of shock.
"It's true that talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."
The Minister of Punishment looked pale and was trembling and speechless. If Zuozhu had just arrived at the main hall, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department had never even looked at Zuo Zhu.
I feel that Zuosuke has no evidence, no matter how eloquent he is, he will definitely die.
But now, the fact undoubtedly slapped him hard in the face, causing burning pain on his face.
The Minister of Justice, Zuo Shilang, couldn't even remember how many times he had been slapped in the face. Because today, I got slapped in the face too many times.
First, Zuosuke's Wuhundian identity was slapped in the face, then Zuosuke's amazing eloquence was slapped in the face, and finally Zuosuke's deep scheming was slapped in the face.
The Minister of Punishment was beaten so hard that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help being startled, and for the first time he stared at Zuosuke with burning eyes, staring at this inconspicuous child.
Being able to make an emperor stare directly at him for such a long time would be enough for Zuosuke to brag about for a lifetime if he were a commoner.
"Okay, child, please step back and wait until the people from Wuhun Palace come to pick you up." Emperor Xue Ye's voice finally regained its calmness and he said calmly.
"Waiting for the people from Wuhun Palace to pick me up?" Zuo Zhu couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. It seemed that Emperor Xueye still didn't believe that he was from Wuhun Palace.
If the people from Wuhun Palace didn't come to pick up Zuo Su, Zuo Su was sure that Emperor Xue Ye would fall out by then.
When everyone heard this, they all cast suspicious eyes on Zuosuke. They all knew that if Zuosuke was not from Wuhun Palace, he would still not be able to escape death.
The royal majesty will never allow ordinary people to provoke.
"Haha, don't worry about Xue Ye, I will pick up this child now." Just when Zuosuke was about to walk out of the hall, a faint laugh rang out.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that an old man and a stunningly beautiful girl suddenly appeared in the hall at some unknown time.
Zuosuke raised his eyes and saw that these two people were his cheap master Qian Daoliu and his domineering fiancée Qian Renxue.
