Zhang Fengwu gritted his teeth, and upon hearing Fang Chen's words, anger surged in his heart.
"You damn eunuch, these 400,000 taels of silver cannot appear out of thin air. You must have obtained it through other illegal channels!"
At this moment, Zhang Fengwu was out of control.
He couldn't accept his failure or the situation at the scene. He felt that he had been tricked by Fang Chen from beginning to end.
Fang Chen heard Zhang Fengwu scolding him, which made Fang Chen seize the opportunity.
"Zhang Fengwu, you, a small fifth-rank official, dare to scold me in the court! Do you know the consequences of insulting an official? Moreover, there are frame-ups and false accusations against me. Today, none of you can do this.
Get out of here!”
At this moment, a picture appeared in many people's minds, that is, Zhang Yu was spanked so hard by Fang Chen a few days ago that he couldn't get out of bed for half a year.
They are all worried that they will end up like this.
Zhang Fengwu took the risk and knelt down to plead: "Your Majesty, although Fang Chen didn't use Hu Yanzhuo's money, then we need to find out where his money came from!"
I really won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River!
Luo Ningxin saw everyone in the household kneeling down, with frightened and ashen faces on their faces.
She knew that she had won today. Fang Chen was so awesome!
"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. The owner of Wancai Bank will be here soon. When he comes, he will naturally find out where the money comes from."
"One more thing, today's matter is very important. After the final result comes out, if Mr. Fang uses money from unknown sources, I will personally order him to be killed. If anyone slanders Mr. Fang, he will also die!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people were frightened.
His Majesty Long Yan was furious, someone must die today, and there must be blood!
The current situation is already a matter of life and death.
Next comes the waiting time.
Everyone in the household was kneeling on the ground, sitting on pins and needles. The atmosphere was getting more and more depressing and was about to explode.
A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch sent a message: "Shen Wancai, the owner of Wancai Bank, wants to see you!"
"Hu Yanzhuo, the envoy of the Western Empire, wants to see you!"
Shen Wancai came, and so did Hu Yanzhuo.
"Caomin Shen Wancai pays homage to His Majesty!"
"Hu Yanzhuo pays homage to His Majesty!"
Luo Ningxin said: "You two don't have to be polite. Messenger Huyan, I really didn't expect you to come here too."
Hu Yanzhuo explained: "I was a guest at Master Shen's bank. Suddenly Master Shen received a summons from His Majesty and learned that what happened here was related to me, so he came over together."
Therefore, Hu Yanzhuo told the civil and military officials that the contract he signed with Fang Chen was a normal business, and there was nothing illegal in doing business with the imperial court.
Next, Shen Wancai saluted everyone and said: "The 400,000 taels were obtained by a customer through the purchase of auctioned antiques and paintings. We have signed a confidentiality agreement with the customer and are not allowed to disclose the customer's identity or the source of the funds.
Legal and compliant.”
"Now His Majesty wants me to explain the source of this fund, so I have to tell you that this fund comes from the Ma family in the imperial capital. It is the money that Ma Shan, the head of the Ma family, deposited with us. He just doesn't want his tribe to know that he owns this money.
money."
Shen Wancai explained clearly the source of the funds!
It’s Mashan’s private money!
Fang Chen followed Shen Wancai's words and looked at Wu Xuan and Zhang Fengwu provocatively.
"I have said before that I borrowed this money from the Ma family, but you just don't believe it, and you still slander me and want to kill me!"
"Now that the truth is out, what else do you have to say?"
"If you have any other trump cards, just bring them out!"
Wu Xuan and Zhang Fengwu have used up their last trump cards, just like a gun with all its bullets.
Zhang Fengwu lay limp on the ground, panting, with no strength left in his body.
He thought of everything that happened today. He was a complete failure. From beginning to end, he never won once.
They had investigated that the Ma family had no money, but now, the Ma family actually had such a large deposit at Wancai Bank.
Wu Xuan also knew that it was over. None of the things he planned was effective in the end. Instead, he was beaten down by the enemy!
There was sudden silence!
The air is filled with fear and chill!
"Come here, drag Wu Xuan out and kill him!" Luo Ningxin's killing order broke the calm.
Everyone was shocked!
Luo Ningxin said before that there will be blood today!
It's just that I didn't do it first and wanted to kill Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan and others knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowing repeatedly until their heads were broken.
"Anyone who begs for mercy is guilty of the same crime as Wu Xuan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people who were begging for mercy shut their mouths, and no one dared to speak out!
This time, Luo Ningxin personally interrogated and enforced the law!
"Wu Xuan deliberately tried to slander Lord Fang. The amount of the false accusation amounted to 400,000 taels. He should be executed according to the laws of our court!"
"Come here, drag Wu Xuan out and behead him in public!"
Two palace guards came in and dragged Wu Xuan out.
"Eunuchs interfering in politics are the source of disaster for the country, causing harm to the country and the people..."
"Even if I die, I will say it out loud. Fang Chen cannot be allowed to interfere in politics, and this eunuch cannot be allowed to rise to power..."
Before dying, Wu Xuan was struggling and roaring.
Luo Ningxin shouted: "The evil words are misleading the public, and the crime is aggravated. All Wu Xuan's family members will be exiled and will be slaves for life!"
"Your Majesty, no..."
Wu Xuan's intestines turned green with regret, all because of his bad mouth.
Originally, he thought he was going to die, so he wanted to attack Fang Chen before he died. He did not expect to arouse His Majesty's anger and affect his family.
Soon a scream came from outside the hall.
With the knife in hand, Wu Xuan's head flew high and rolled to the side.
Luo Ningxin stood up from the throne and looked coldly at the civil and military officials of the court. She saw fear and dissatisfaction on the faces of many people.
"You all think the punishment is too severe? You shouldn't kill people?"
"Let me tell you, the last time you framed Mr. Fang, I only punished the leader Zhang Yu. But not only did you not repent, you actually repeated your old tricks and went even further to frame Mr. Fang again. It is simply adding crime to crime. It is an unforgivable crime.
!”
"If anyone dares to falsely accuse officials of this dynasty in the future, this will be the fate!"
"Pull out all those who framed Mr. Fang just now and take heavy responsibility from the thirty bosses!"
"Retreat!"
More than twenty officials from the Ministry of Revenue were dragged out, while people from other departments also attacked Fang Chen and were all dragged out.
Fang Chen also participated in the law enforcement process, and his target was only one person, and that was Zhang Fengwu.
Fang Chen was holding a one-meter-long board in his hand, and Zhang Fengwu was already pressed on the execution table.
"Master Zhang, don't you like scolding me very much? Don't you want to kill me? What do you think I should do to you next?"
"You chopped off two fingers of my subordinate Xiao San. Do you think I should chop off your hands?"
"Before, you said in court that you would donate the 400,000 taels to the victims of the disaster and people's livelihood. After I finish beating you, I will go to your house and ask you to spit out the 400,000 taels!"
Fang Chen was filled with indignation and his anger was evident in his face.
