Chapter seven hundred and sixty ninth: testimony in court
Witnesses have been submitted, and Liu Chenggang's identity is clear. He said he knew Zhu Lin, and said he would pass news back and forth to Prince Ning from there. At this point, even if Zhu Lin's biological father came, he would not be able to
I dare to tell the difference for Zhu Lin.
Originally, the matter was already clear. Even if Xiao Jing did not provide further evidence, it would be enough to send Zhu Lin to hell, and Dongchang's contribution was real.
But when someone suddenly interrupted the interrogation, the civil and military officials who had already confirmed it couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound. This was not a big deal, but when they recognized it was Liu Chengfeng, some people couldn't help but get excited.
Liu Chengfeng is a well-known troublemaker. Although Liu Chengfeng feels good about himself, thinking that he is suave, reliable, and young and promising. But in the eyes of others, this guy is as annoying as a fly.
The Hateful Ghost is the kind that you can't help but deal with, but every time you deal with him, you feel disgusted.
Today is different from the past. Although everyone hates Liu Chengfeng, but now Liu Chengfeng suddenly stands up to oppose Xiao Jing of Dongchang, this is another matter. This is a matter of mentality. Everyone is clearly here to see the excitement. This excitement
It involves the powerful, the eunuchs, and the royal guards. Anyway, in the eyes of scholars, none of the dark forces that everyone wants to suppress immediately are not involved. They fight in the nest, and naturally the more exciting the better.
The confusion bugs in the early morning were all driven away at once, and everyone was sober that they couldn't wake up anymore.
After he finished speaking, Liu Chengfeng stood up boldly. Under normal circumstances, if he occasionally attended the morning court and had nothing to do, he would usually take a nap quietly to rest his mind. However, when something really happened, he felt like he had received a shot of cardiotonic.
All the cells in his body seemed to be burning. He walked step by step into the hall, his eyes first looking at Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin naturally couldn't care less about Liu Chengfeng's dishonesty just now when he saw this last life-saving straw. Now he just felt that Liu Chengfeng was like the red card lady of Tianxian Pavilion in Fireworks Alley, and he just wanted to pounce on him and kiss him hard on the face.
One bite.
Liu Chengfeng obviously couldn't stand Zhu Lin's "affectionate" gaze, so he quickly looked away. He had no choice but to make contact with Xiao Jing's sinister gaze.
Xiao Jing obviously didn't expect that this guy would still want to fight hard when he was in this situation. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see through Liu Chengfeng all of a sudden. Liu Chengfeng's true form appeared in front of his eyes, and he wanted to know Liu Chengfeng
What kind of trick did Feng play? However, Liu Chengfeng obviously did not give him a chance. He just smiled and said in a decent manner: "Your Majesty, please give me permission."
Zhu Youtang, who was sitting in the hall, obviously knew that he was not the protagonist today. Liu Chengfeng's sudden appearance was also expected by him. This guy always liked to make sudden attacks. Zhu Youtang had long been used to it. He nodded slightly.
, full of majesty: "Pass."
The next prisoner brought in was Jiang Tao. Compared with Jiang Tao, Liu Chenggang who was just brought in was relatively decent. At least Liu Chenggang's face could be seen clearly. There were no scars on his face. At least his hands and feet seemed to be connected to his body.
As for Jiang Tao, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There was almost no intact skin on his body. As soon as this man was escorted in, many officials couldn't help but pinch their noses. How could the noble gentlemen tolerate this?
The stench of rotting flesh?
Jiang Tao was brought in like a dumb chicken. Xiao Jing almost didn't recognize him, but Xiao Jing didn't take it seriously. Jiang Tao was indeed a means for him to play with Liu Chengfeng. This was revealed.
It does have some influence on him as an eunuch, but this does not prevent him from making great contributions. Jiang Tao's meticulous work in the East Factory cannot overturn this case.
So when Xiao Jing recognized this person as Jiang Tao, he calmed down. As long as this case cannot be overturned, the credit will belong to his Dongchang, and no one can take it away. After so many years of being aggrieved, Xiao Jing this time
It is inevitable to win.
Liu Chengfeng walked up to Jiang Tao, and Jiang Tao's body couldn't help but tremble. This was not because he had a guilty conscience, but whoever was abused like this would probably have a strong fear of this person. Jin Yiwei's notoriety,
It was accumulated based on this skill.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile softly. I'm afraid that when everyone sees this scene, they will think that Liu Chengfeng is a demon who came out of hell. However, Liu Chengfeng doesn't care how others see Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng is
Liu Chengfeng's merits and demerits are not for the people in this palace to judge.
He asked slowly: "What's your name?"
Jiang Tao was beaten badly, so naturally he couldn't be more obedient, and quickly replied: "The villain's name is Jiang Tao."
"Jiang Tao, you claim that you were ordered by Prince Ning and came to the capital specifically to contact the rebels, right?"
"Yes, yes..." Jiang Tao was more like a yes man at this time.
Liu Chengfeng continued: "Then you said that there is a big shot in the capital who colluded with Prince Ning. You also said whether this person's surname is Mou or Mao, and he still holds military power, right?"
Jiang Tao could only respond: "Yes, that's right."
Liu Chengfeng sighed and said: "Jinyiwei listened to your words and indeed followed this direction to investigate. But it wasn't until yesterday that I realized that you were not from Prince Ning at all. You were from Dongchang."
no?"
When the civil and military officials heard this, they became even more noisy. No one thought that things would be so twists and turns. This person was clearly a member of Prince Ning, so why did he suddenly become Xiao Jing's person?
But some people gradually understood that Xiao Jing obviously did not fight alone. In fact, Xiao Jing and Eunuch Xiao should have been possessed by his ancestors and inherited the great collusion of civil servants fighting among themselves.
You went into the water, etc. Dongchang got the news in advance, so in order to mislead Jin Yiwei and prevent Jin Yiwei from taking credit, they staged such a good show.
As a result, many people looked at Xiao Jing a little differently. Maybe some people sneered. Of course, this was on the surface. In fact, everyone was the same kind of person. There was a hint of expectation in the depths of their eyes.
Look, Eunuch Xiao seems to be very proficient in this kind of thing, so everyone can be considered to be in the same sect.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but feel a trace of shyness on his old face, but after all, he was a person who had seen strong winds and waves. Shyness cannot be eaten, and being thick-skinned is the way to go. A smile appeared on his face.
Liu Chengfeng ignored the reactions of others and continued to ask Jiang Tao: "In other words, your identity as Prince Ning's confidant is false, and the identity of Dongchang's bastard is real, right?"
Liu Chengfeng bit him so hard that he almost pointed at Xiao Jing and shouted: "Don't look at others, it's you, you have no beard, hair, and eggs."
Xiao Jing's eyes narrowed, and his shyness turned into anger. Fortunately, he had a strong temper, so he could only endure it for now. He couldn't help but think in his heart, if you scold a young boy like you, if you continue to scold him, the credit for this will belong to the Zajia family. You
Isn't it too late to settle this account now?
I think Xiao Jing must have had the courage to stand firm despite the storm.
Jiang Tao just had tears and runny nose. He responded to whatever Liu Chengfeng said. After Liu Chengfeng asked all the questions, he smiled calmly and said to the big Han general who was escorting Jiang Tao: "You can take him down now."
.”
Not to mention that Jiang Tao was taken away like a dead dog, but Liu Chengfeng's behavior was very puzzling.
You bring this Jiang Tao here. Although this person is related to this case, this is just a small episode in this case after all, because Jiang Tao is indeed not a key figure in the case. He himself admits that he is from Dongchang.
Since he was sent by someone from Dongchang, why did you bring him to the imperial court? Are you using him to overturn Zhu Lin's case?
Many people are thinking that Liu Chengfeng's only purpose in bringing Jiang Tao into the palace is to accuse Eunuch Xiao of being sinister. This guy really must retaliate for his anger. Now he is in front of the palace to judge. How about some moral integrity?
Okay, Zhu Lin is on trial now. You came to accuse Dongchang, wasting time and wasting everyone's expressions.
"There's no cure, there's no cure!" Then everyone shook their heads and gave Liu Chengfeng a look of contempt.
Liu Chengfeng did not feel dissatisfied, and still had a very reserved smile on his face. He saluted Zhu Youtang in the Golden Palace and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished asking my questions."
Zhu Youtang sympathizes with Liu Chengfeng. Of course he knows that Liu Chengfeng was tricked and severely stepped on by Xiao Jing, but sympathy is sympathy. Now he is the imperial judge, Jiang Tao
The relationship between this person and the trial of the current case is not very big. It can only be regarded as somewhat indirect.
After contacting each other, Liu Chengfeng called the person over in a serious manner, but he didn't ask anything. He talked a lot of nonsense, but there was no breakthrough in the case. Zhu Youtang was speechless, but he couldn't get angry on the spot, so he could only
He spoke slowly: "Okay, step back."
This means in the vernacular of later generations: Boy, you are done playing, rest wherever you came from, you have nothing to do here anymore.
"But..." Just when everyone thought that Liu Chengfeng would retreat to the class obediently, they were wrong, because Liu Chengfeng had no intention of leaving. He said: "But Wei Chen thought that Wei Chen
I still need to summarize the current case, please give me your permission."
He made up his mind that he would have to mess with this matter.
Everyone was shocked. What happened to Liu Chengfeng? It was so strange that he didn't dare to listen to the emperor's words.
Xiao Jing glared at Liu Chengfeng fiercely, feeling that this guy had too many things. Zhu Lin's life was hanging by a thread, and he heard that Liu Chengfeng wanted to beg for nothing, even though as a noble son, what he usually hated most was begging for nothing.
A shameless person, but at this moment, he almost shouted "Long Live Shameless".
Liu Chengfeng didn't wait for Zhu Youtang to nod, he had already killed him first and then said: "Your Majesty, that Jiang Tao just claimed to be sent by Prince Ning at first. He said he had a nose and eyes, and even the ministers were deceived. And now this one is called Liu Cheng.
Gang, he also claimed to be sent by Prince Ning, and now it seems that there are no flaws, but it would be too hasty to judge the son of the dignified Duke Chengguo based on this fictitious evidence!" (To be continued!
