Chapter 100
"Your Majesty, is it really appropriate to kill someone so hastily?" Cheyenne gritted her teeth and turned pale!
"What's inappropriate? Why? You still want to intercede and say that Zhang Tong was framed?" Zhou Jian glanced away with sharp eyes. He vowed to seek justice for Yueyao, and this is justice!
Gu Si and some of the admonishing officials said in unison: "Master Zhang is the minister, how can he kill at will? Besides, there are many doubts about this case!"
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the world will say that you are a tyrant?"
Zhou Jian was tough and said contemptuously: "I'm not afraid, there is no doubt in this case!"
Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why are there no doubts? Has Lord Zhang ever confessed his crime?"
"I can guarantee that Mr. Zhang was framed!"
"Yes, I agree. Your Majesty, this is not the first time that you have killed and beaten ministers wantonly. I want an explanation!"
Huo En, Qin Zhen and others were about to get angry and support them, but Zhou Jian stopped him and said with a smile: "You say, do you dare to guarantee it?"
The man backed away fearfully and gritted his teeth: "That's right! Mr. Zhang is fair and honest, and has made great contributions to the great Zhou Dynasty. But now he is executed without even saying a word. This humble minister is heartbroken!"
Zhou Jian was so angry that he laughed back. These people would not give up until they reached the Yellow River, and they had no deep-down fear of the emperor himself: "Fang Jie, are you here yet?"
Everyone is suspicious, Fang Jie, the commander of the forbidden army?
"Your Majesty, the humble post has arrived!" Fang Jie rushed in panting, holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, looking coldly at those who were still talking harshly: "Your Majesty, the humble post has been searched thoroughly, and many secret messages were found from Zhang Tong's home.
, homing pigeons, and illicit wealth.”
"It's all here. There's irrefutable evidence that Zhang Tong is suspected of multiple felonies!"
Zhou Jian took it, sneered again and again, and raised the huge banknotes: "Tsk, tsk, did you just say that you guarantee that Zhang Tong is fair and honest?"
Suddenly, several people looked as if they had eaten dead flies: "Your Majesty, this..."
"We don't know that Zhang Tong is such a person. He knows people, faces but not hearts. We know we are wrong."
"This bitch deserves to be punished by the nine tribes."
"Yes, yes, kill the nine tribes!" Many ministers who were close to Zhang Tong smiled and quickly changed their words. They were worse than the grass on the wall.
Horn and others cast disdainful looks, and Zhou Jian put down the banknotes casually. Seeing such a minister, he became furious. The court was controlled by these people. It would be strange if it didn't collapse!
"Kill the nine tribes? I will kill you first!"
"Come here, drag these bitches down, take fifty big boards first, and banish them to the frontier! You will never be allowed to enter the capital city for eternity!" He kicked one of them fiercely and slid away for several meters.
Everyone around heard this, and their scalps went numb. This is too cruel!
Xia Yan and others were unwilling to give up, and their eyes were gloomy. They knew that Zhou Jian was using the topic to eliminate dissidents and promote his cronies, but at this juncture, they did not dare to jump out again.
"No, no, Your Majesty!"
"Wei Chen knows that he was wrong. Wei Chen was also deceived by Zhang Tong's appearance. Your Majesty, please give him a gentle sentence. We will never do it again!"
"There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom..." The ministers cried and begged. Exile to the frontier would be worse than beheading.
The sound gradually faded away, and many people were dragged away. They scratched the ground with their fingers. Zhou Jian ignored them, and no one around him dared to intercede. In less than an hour, things took a complete turn.
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I... we will retreat first." A scholar said tremblingly.
"Retreat?" Zhou Jian smiled and looked at him sadly: "Aren't you going to leave without leaving something behind? You entered the palace and insulted me as a foolish king. Should I die?"
Ding!
Hundreds of scholars trembled collectively, from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. Who could have imagined that things would turn out like this?
They are paralyzed with despair...
At this moment, Horn couldn't help but stand up and plead for mercy. After all, most of these people were still bewitched, or were too angry. If they were killed, rumors would inevitably spread.
But Zhou Jian also understood this truth, so he changed the topic and said: "Forget it, I am not the same as you, so I will forgive your death penalty this time, but there will be no second time."
