Chapter 672 Mr. Ge, save me
If this continues, the prince has every reason to punish himself as mentioned before. If nothing else, just insulting his meritorious service is enough for him to drink a pot.
And the prince who has caught the handle will never let him go.
In fear, Shangguan Zhao fought back and said loudly: "No matter how much you say, the facts are the facts. Since you have admitted that you made a mistake, you should bear the consequences."
Su Pingbei sneered and said: "I don't know what the facts Shangguan Shangshu said, but in my eyes, the fact is...someone has connections with foreign countries and sold our army's intelligence to Japan!"
"This is proved by the confession he wrote in his own hand when I captured Kyojiro Kusanagi alive. He admitted that someone gave him information about our army, and he made the corresponding arrangements."
Su Pingbei's eyes were like lightning, scanning the whole place, and said coldly: "In fact, that person may even be above this court."
The big bomb without warning caused everyone to be in an uproar.
Most of the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony heard about this for the first time.
Selling military intelligence, no matter what dynasty or country at any time, is a capital crime punishable by death by a thousand cuts.
They couldn't figure out who had the guts to do such a thing.
No one doubts the authenticity of Su Pingbei's words. As long as he is not crazy, he will not joke about such a thing.
Otherwise, even Su Zhenting wouldn't be able to protect him.
Shangguan Zhao looked at the evidence that Su Pingbei took out, his face was pale and lifeless.
Li Chen stood on the imperial stage and said calmly: "At this time, General Su has already informed me and the Fifth Army Governor's Office in a secret letter. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I and the Fifth Army Governor's Office did not make any announcement.
I just conducted a secret investigation, and later I did find some clues...Chen Tong."
Outside the hall, Chen Tong quickly walked in with his head lowered, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, I have been ordered to investigate the leak of military information. I have found many people related to this matter, and these people... happen to be Shangguan Shangshu.
The witnesses under investigation are the so-called witnesses of General Su Pingbei’s violations of laws and disciplines.”
Smiling, Li Chen looked at Shangguan Zhao with cold eyes and said: "Shangguan Shangshu, can I interpret this as a thief shouting to catch the thief?"
Under great fear and pressure, Shangguan Zhao subconsciously looked at Zhao Xuanji.
Zhao Xuanji raised his head and looked into Li Chen's eyes.
Raising his hand, Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "Kusaji Kyojiro is dead, and there is no way to verify the authenticity of the confession written by General Su Pingbei. This matter is already dead and there is no evidence."
When Su Pingbei heard this, he became angry and said: "This is the handwriting of Kyojiro Kusanagi. Although he is dead, there are still a large number of documents written by him among the captured Japanese enemy troops, which can be compared."
"The handwriting can be imitated, so how can we determine that this confession must be authentic?"
Zhao Xuanji asked calmly.
Su Pingbei was furious and was about to speak when he saw Zhao Xuanji turned to Li Chen and said, "In my opinion, let this matter be dropped and not mentioned again. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Chen said expressionlessly: "I have said that if Shangguan Zhao slanders his merits, then his head will be taken off."
