Chapter 285 The momentum of the powerful ministers

Even Qian Sule, who had been crying, looked at Wu Zheng with tears in his eyes.

To be honest, Wu Zheng's previous actions were indeed unexpected, and this also made him reflect on whether he had blamed Wu Zheng wrongly.

Because, according to the current situation, as long as Wu Zheng really has the opposite intention, he can already decide the world in one sentence.

At least, he is enough to control everything in this village.

But Wu Zheng showed to Zhu Ma that he had no intention of rebelling, so it was very likely that he had misunderstood him.

With this understanding, Qian Sule's state of mind became completely different, and even officials could understand Wu Zheng's killing of the dozen or so censors.

In fact, Qian Sule is the only person who knows most of the plot in this game.

He knew that today's incident originated from a misunderstanding, and also knew that Dong Yingdi brought people to falsely spread the orders of the state, but he was indifferent and was very angry about Wu Zheng's killing of the censor and officials. According to the law, Wu Zheng had no right to kill these imperial officials under any circumstances.

Wu Zheng made this, which directly challenged the authority of the court.

Therefore, Qian Sule made a wrong judgment, thinking that Wu Zheng wanted to take the opportunity to usurp the throne and seize power.

Wu Zheng stood up calmly, pointed at Qian Sule first, and said to Zhu Ma: "I am discussing state affairs with Lord Qian, but there was a dispute due to different political views. I didn't expect that the patrol officers and soldiers were discovered, which caused a misunderstanding. I thought that Lord Qian was not good, so I rushed in and captured him. At this time, when the soldiers under my command of Chen Sheng's army heard the news, I was worried about my safety, so I rushed to the Qian Mansion. So the confrontation between the two armies happened."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng turned to Dong Yingdi and pointed at him, "After Lord Qian explained the misunderstanding, I was able to escape. When I heard that the two armies had confronted each other, I hurried to the scene and prepared to reconcile both sides and order the soldiers to return to the camp. Unfortunately, it was dark, and the soldiers along the way could not recognize me, and I could not order the soldiers. I did not expect that at this time, Dong Yingdi, the Minister of Revenue, led a dozen officials and more than a thousand guards to come. I thought that he was here to mediate both sides, but I did not expect that Dong Yingdi would actually send a false order to the State Supervisor and said that he would punish me for treason. When I heard about this, my soldiers were indignant and the confrontation became even more intense. At this moment, a crossbow arrow shot at me..."

Zhu Ma knew that Wu Zheng was standing in front of him, but she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and let out a soft cry.

Zhang Huangyan even hurried forward and looked around Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng comforted softly: "I'm fine."

"Fortunately, Shen Zhiyuan, a thousand households under me, gave up his life to rescue him and pushed him away. He was not injured. However, Shen Zhiyuan was shot in an arrow in his left arm and was seriously injured. He is still in a coma. I dare to ask your highness, and I dare to ask all the masters, should Wu Zheng kill someone?"

Everyone was silent. Everyone understood that Wu Zheng shouldn't kill anyone. Even if Dong Yingdi and others were extremely guilty, Wu Zheng would not have the power to kill more than a dozen people.

But who dares to contradict Wu Zheng at this time?

It is impossible to borrow a few courages from them.

There are probably only a few people who dare to contradict Wu Zheng. But what they are thinking now is that it is best that Wu Zheng is not guilty, so the court will not have to punish Wu Zheng's crime, and Wu Zheng will not be forced to rebel.

Especially Qian Sule, he is Wu Zheng's expectant father-in-law. As long as Wu Zheng did not rebel, to be honest, he didn't want to pursue it too much.

Zhang Huangyan naturally did not want to accuse Wu Zheng. With his age and nature, he also hated evil. Since Wu Zheng was the victim, how could he turn his elbow outward?

As for Zhu Mai, she would not blame Wu Zheng. The current situation is far better than she expected. In fact, in her heart, as long as Wu Zheng does not rebel, everything can be negotiated. Even if Wu Zheng really wants to depose her and re-enforce Zhu Chenyu as the governor, she will not object.

All she needed was that Wu Zheng could give her some decentness.

Therefore, the silence of the upper and lower levels gave Wu Zheng an even more "arrogant" hostility.

"I took Dong Yingdi but was not killed, which would give Your Highness the opportunity to interrogate the court, so as not to accuse someone of accusing the deer as a horse and making a fool of himself. Now Lord Qian and Dong Yingdi are here. Please ask Your Highness to publicly trial on the spot to prove your innocence!"

Look, what a courage!

This is the momentum of powerful officials.

No one accused Wu Zheng of his arrogance. On the contrary, someone soon brought a chair and stool to ask Zhu Ma and other important officials to sit down.

A unique public trial has begun.

Dong Yingdi, who looked like a slut, already understood here that no one could save him, and no one could save him.

So, the truth will be explained.

Zhang Huangyan was a little moved. He walked to Wu Zheng and bowed deeply, "Wu Zheng, Brother Yu is a big mistake. He wronged you. If you want to beat or scold me, you will be obeyed."

Wu Zheng quickly helped Zhang Huangyan up and said, "Today's affairs are complicated. No wonder Brother Xuanzhuo, just like Lord Qian has been an eyewitness since the beginning, and it is inevitable that he misunderstood, let alone Brother Xuanzhuo."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Zhang Huangyan doesn’t think anything about it, so Qian Sule, who is sitting in the same row, blushed.

You know, Qian Sule, the one who scolded Wu Zheng the most fiercely before.

Now the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Although Wu Zheng also made an act of usurpation, there is a reason for the incident.

Although the law is harsh, who is still acting according to the law at this time?

If you really need to follow the law, the state is not the state, and the important ministers are not the important ministers, the court will no longer exist.

This is the reason why things are urgently followed.

At this time, Dong Yingdi, who had already explained everything, shouted "injustice".

He firmly denied that he arranged the assassination.

Only he and the assaulter knew in his heart that this assassination of Wu Zheng was really not his intention or arrangement.

At the same time, Dong Yingdi understood more clearly that if he had been punished with assassination, he really had no hope of living.

He understood from the time the regent was present that His Highness cared about Wu Zheng’s life and death more than anyone else, which reminded him of the rumors in Shaoxing Prefecture. He understood that the only chance of life today was to take him out for assassination.

Apart from assassination, his crime was only falsely spreading the orders of the State, which could be said to be misunderstandings.

But the problem is that he has no evidence to identify the killer.

After careful interrogation, nothing was found.

Zhu Mai asked Wu Zheng for his opinions.

Wu Zheng only answered one word, "Kill!"

If you can't punish the literati and the doctor, it will not work well today.

Of course, if the punishment is not given to the literati and official, it is not a crime of treason.

Now Wu Zheng is a marquis named by the imperial court, and the crime of assassination is not included in the pardon.

Not only that, Dong Yingdi also involved leading the army to spark fire, causing hundreds of wounded people in the two armies. Such crimes may not be included in the Chongzhen Dynasty and were pardoned.

Dong Yingdi did not even get the right to retrial and was executed on the spot amid the pleading.

Thousands of people present, none of them pleaded for him.
