Chapter 679 Your Majesty, I have been wronged!
As soon as these words came out, there were many discussions in the hall.
The emperor's face instantly became even more ugly, "Tell me more!"
The Dali Temple Minister heard the emperor's anger and shook his neck so much that he shook his head. "The woman sued the court for ordering officials to rape a good woman. When her family discovered it, she killed someone to silence her!"
"When I saw this, I warned the woman that falsely accused the court of appointing officials for the seriousness of the random beating drums, but the woman would rather be beaten to the board than insist that she was really wronged! But this matter involved the court of appointing officials, and the empress was not convenient for me to interrogate him, so I came to report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to decide!"
The prince kept observing the emperor's face and saw that the emperor was furious. He immediately took a step forward and glared at the trembling minister of Dali Temple on the ground.
"Zhai Xian, as the Minister of Dali Temple, you are accused of seeking justice for the people, but you can't even solve such a trivial matter. Instead, you will disturb the emperor. What crime should you be guilty of!"
When the prince scolded him, Zhai Xian's body shook even more violently, but he still had no intention of getting up. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the prince, I am aware of the crime, but this matter is related to the imperial court's official orders. It is really difficult for me to interrogate!"
Si Shengwen, who had been watching the show, suddenly stood up, and a light flashed in his sinister eyes, "Mr. Zhai, if what the woman said was true, then no matter who committed the crime, he must deal with it impartially and give the people justice! Besides, such people with misconduct and cruel nature must be punished this morning to avoid harming the court!"
After listening to Si Shengwen's righteous speech, the prince was also indignant, "That's right!"
Then his eyes were blazing fire, swept to the ministers, and shouted sternly, "For officials, make profits for the people first. People with misconduct are not qualified to be officials of the court! Dali Temple was originally established to investigate the injustice of the people. Lord Zhai does not have to be afraid of the identity of the criminal. As long as he commits a crime, he will be severely punished!"
"I believe everyone present doesn't want such a despicable villain in the court!"
As he said that, the prince swept over the officials present one by one with sharp eyes.
The ministers were all frightened by the sight, and the officials on the prince's side saw the prince's instructions and stood up one after another to express their agreement.
"What the prince said is very good! The prisoners must be severely punished and the people must be fair!"
"Yes, the court ordered officials to rape women and kill people to silence them. If such evil deeds spread, how can the people convince the court?"
"It is natural to kill someone, let alone the prisoner killed the family of the female family. The weak minister suggested that the prisoner beheaded and displayed in public!"
"The woman did not go to the yamen to complain, but took the risk to Dali Temple to beat drums and make trouble. I believe the prisoner had used his own power to use methods in private! This matter is quite serious. Lord Zhai, if he does not punish this person severely, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the public!"
The prince looked at his man with satisfaction, then his eyes turned to Si Ling, and a vicious flashed in his eyes.
"You are very saying, not only did the prisoners break the law, but also smear the court. They must not end simply by dismissing official positions or exile. They must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others, and also give the people a satisfactory reply. Otherwise, the people's hearts will be in turmoil and the court's continuous efforts will be ruined!"
Everyone stopped talking and waited for the emperor to speak.
Si Ling was a little nervous since the beginning, as if something bad was about to happen. And she noticed the look of the prince looking at her just now, and her ominous premonition became stronger.
Xiao Linye's face was still unchanged, and he calmly played with the jade ring in his hand.
The air in the Golden Palace seemed to condense. The emperor held the armrest of the dragon chair with both hands tightly, his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the ministers, and finally fell back to Zhai Xian.
"Zhai Xian, speak out the man's name!"
Now the big stone in Zhai Xian's heart finally fell to the ground. The emperor asked this, which proved that he wanted to inquire about this matter in person. The panic in Zhai Xian's eyes instantly turned into contempt. He turned his head to look at Si Ling and raised his voice.
"Your Majesty, it's Lord Si, Si Chengze!"
Zhai Xian's voice was high and his words were clear, and Si Chengze's name immediately reached everyone's ears.
Si Ling's head blew up, and her heart, which had just been panicked, also sank. It turned out that her premonition was real!
Even if she is calm on weekdays, she can't help but change her face when she is charged with such a big crime in front of the emperor and the ministers.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
She shouted, her beautiful eyes glaring at Zhai Xian, and the person who slandered her was glaring at her angrily, as if she had already found guilty and could not wait to punish her severely.
After that, she quickly swept over the faces of the prince, Si Shengwen and Xing Bin without missing a single trace, and the expression of one of them made her eyes dark.
