The empress sat high on the throne, overlooking the main hall and watching the ministers.
Wu Zhongxian and the ministers sat cross-legged on two sides, looking at each other.
Wu Zhongxian was alone, while Zhang Luzhi was represented by hundreds of officials.
"Bai Feng, you can be the referee!"
After seeing all the ministers seated, the empress spoke up.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bai Feng walked to the middle of the confrontation between the two sides and glanced at Wu Zhongxian, with a worried look in his eyes.
In this chapter, Lu Zhi was a veteran of the Three Dynasties. Not to mention being familiar with the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he participated in the compilation and decision-making of some of them.
In her opinion, Wu Zhongxian had no chance of winning against him.
And Wu Zhongxian was a talent she had worked so hard to retain. She originally thought of rectifying Da Qin later, but who knew that before she even started, she had already committed suicide on her own!
Yes, in Bai Feng's view, Wu Zhongxian is definitely dead now!
Unless a miracle happens!
Wu Zhongxian didn't show too much concern for Bai Feng's eyes, but nodded slightly to express that he was ready.
Bai Feng turned around and said to Zhang Luzhi:
"Mr. Zhang, look..."
Facing Zhang Luzhi, Bai Feng's expression was extremely respectful, making it impossible for the surrounding ministers to find any fault with him.
He even gave the right of choice to Zhang Luzhi to decide whether to start or not.
"Master Bai, there is no need to be too polite, just follow the normal procedures. I don't need these false courtesy."
Zhang Luzhi raised his right hand slightly, waved and said.
When Bai Feng heard this, he nodded and made it clear. Then he came to the middle and read out:
"If that's the case, let's start a discussion."
Under the instructions of the ministers, Zhang Luzhi took the lead in attacking Wu Zhongxian and said:
"Mr. Wu, I am just relying on my status here to rely on my elders for once."
After saying that, Zhang Luzhi's face suddenly became solemn and he said to Wu Zhongxian in a cold voice:
"Master Wu, you said that your procedures are correct, so what are the mistakes they made? Where is the evidence? I have evidence here!"
To attack Wu Zhongxian, the first step is to use Wu Zhongxian’s evidence.
Generally speaking, for these matters, only when there is both personal and material evidence available can a judgment be made.
But Wu Zhongxian seems to have no witness at all, which is a huge flaw.
After hearing this, Wu Zhongxian smiled lightly and said:
"The witness is outside. I wonder if Mrs. Zhang wants someone to come in?"
Wu Zhongxian seemed to have been prepared for a long time, pointing at the embroidered clothes outside, as if he was confident. Bayi Chinese website
Regarding the witness mentioned by Wu Zhongxian, everyone looked over and saw that it was the embroiderer. Their expressions changed slightly, but in the end there was nothing.
This matter was brought to light.
Wu Zhongxian completely used the embroidered garment envoy as a witness, making him a witness.
And the Embroidered Clothes Envoy happens to have the function of collecting intelligence. If Wu Zhongxian is brought out to talk about things now, there will be no problem at all.
"I'm asking you, do you have any evidence?"
"Master Wu, if you can't come up with evidence to refute me, then don't blame me for reading a book."
Zhang Luzhi was still very determined. He didn't care at all about Wu Zhongxian's nonsense, but stabilized the basic market.
After saying that, he immediately placed a pile of so-called evidence in front of him.
These evidences are all relevant information collected by the ministers about Wu Zhongxian's execution of these ministers.
Every one of them is extremely real, so there is no problem at all in picking them up now.
"Bai Feng, bring me one copy of these materials and leave one copy for everyone to see!"
When the empress saw the information leaking out, she immediately asked Bai Feng to bring it up and also distributed it to Wu Zhongxian and others.
After the ministers took out this piece of information, they all had smiles on their faces, as if taking out this information meant they were sure of victory.
In a short period of time, they did not collect much useful information.
But after working together for many years, they have more or less understood that those officials are clean water officials and those people are bad officials.
So when they came, they deliberately got these information.
Now is the time to launch an attack on Wu Zhongxian!
The most important thing is that they don't believe that Wu Zhongxian was able to collect all the evidence that these officials were corrupt and perverted the law in less than three days.
And there were no errors or omissions at all.
This is the point they specifically caught.
As long as you focus on this point, you can definitely defeat Wu Zhongxian!
"Well, he is indeed a good official!"
Wu Zhongxian flipped through the information in his hand casually.
The officials recorded above are all good officials, but these things are one-sided.
Wu Zhongxian casually threw the information on the table in front of him with a mocking look on his lips.
"Master Wu, are you planning to give up?"
A spokesman who was about to knock Wu Zhongxian down saw Wu Zhongxian slam the table and immediately thought that Wu Zhongxian was frightened.
Immediately, he began to sneer at Wu Zhongxian, like a victor. After saying this, he looked at a minister intentionally or unintentionally.
The arrogant smile on his face was gone, instead it was filled with a flattering look.
The empress had also seen Wu Zhongxian throwing documents before, and she was a little curious, because the officials recorded in these documents had no problems with their lives and rumors. He was a completely good official!
But looking at Wu Zhongxian's appearance, there seems to be something hidden.
"Since you want to know the truth, let me list them as you like."
Wu Zhongxian was not interested in the official's words at all. He mainly wanted to smash the evidence, so he said it specifically.
Of course, Wu Zhongxian would not say that he came out to speak out because he was interested in meeting the empress.
It would be great if only Wu Zhongxian could throw the evidence in his hands at these stinky men and let them see for themselves.
"Haha, I hope you are not bluffing, sir!"
The famous official said arrogantly.
"First, one of them, Zhang Wu, is a fifth-grade warehouse official who specializes in handling tribute items from outside the Qin Dynasty. There is a seasoning called pepper in this barbaric land."
"Due to the long distance, it is extremely rare in Da Qin. After coming here, it can be said to be one to two to ten thousand gold!"
"Take some secretly, officials, do you think you can know?"
Wu Zhongxian smiled lightly.
All the ministers, including the empress, shook their heads. The contributions from those barbaric lands could not be counted as tribute, and there were a lot of them there.
