"For such a serious crime as collaborating with the enemy, you actually executed him privately without reporting it to the Holy One. It is really too strange and not enough to convince the public."
Hu Chengfu, the Minister of Punishment, shook his head repeatedly, and Bai Qiulian also agreed.
Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also said: "Princess, Master Long, this matter is very involved, and we really need both witnesses and material evidence."
Jing Heng also said: "Yes, you bring out the witnesses and let Shui Han speak for himself."
Jing Tianlie turned around and glared at Jing Heng. Jing Heng was so scared that he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Upstairs in Banyue, Ji Ba listened to the quarrel between the two sides. Hong Qi said: "President, Long Chengen killed Shui Han. This is the biggest failure."
Ji Ba shook his head and said: "This was the case at that time. At that time, in order to stabilize Linjiang City, I had to do this."
"The empress probably had no intention of reducing Jing Tianlie's military power before, so she didn't leave any witnesses."
"Moreover, even if Shui Han is kept, will she identify Jing Tianlie?"
Even willing to do things like colluding with the enemy and treason, Shui Han is definitely Jing Tianlie's confidant.
Even if such a person is caught, he will never give evidence to Jing Tianlie.
"So, Long Chengen has no chance of winning this time?"
Hong Qi was a little disappointed.
Ji Ba smiled and said: "Long Chengen has won, and the prestige of the General's Mansion has been shaken."
Hong Qi asked: "Long Chengen didn't plan to bring down Jing Tianlie at once?"
Ji Ba shook his head slightly and said: "Should Sifanglou be replaced? Let you do business with Long Chengen. One day you will be sold and you will help him count the money."
This is already the second time, and Hong Qi doesn't want to talk anymore.
Di Luoxi said angrily: "How can there be any witness? Shui Han is dead, the person who sent the message is also dead, Shangguan Wei is also dead, they are all dead, how can there be any witness?"
Bai Qiulian sneered: "It's because everyone is dead that some people are unscrupulously spreading rumors and slandering."
The empress looked at Long Chen and asked: "Is there only one secret message?"
Long Chen indeed only had this little thing, and his goal had actually been achieved, and everyone's doubts about Jing Tianlie had been planted.
As for whether he can stab him again, it depends on Feng He.
If this guy really wants to cooperate, now is the time to take action.
The officials present and the people who were watching were talking about it, and they were basically divided into two groups. One side thought that Long Chen had no real evidence, and the other side thought that this evidence was enough.
But no matter how you think about it, you all feel that there is something wrong with the General's Mansion.
"I have witnesses!"
While everyone was arguing, Qingyue walked in with a woman.
When he saw this woman, Long Chen was shocked.
With a medium build, a high hairline, and rosacea, this woman is Shui Han’s confidant Shen Hong?
Isn't she dead?
Does Zhang Ke also have a problem?
When he was in Linjiang City, Long Chen asked Zhang Ke to find someone, but Zhang Ke said that Shen Hong was dead.
Now Shen Hong appears here again, what's going on?
"She is Shui Han's personal attendant Shen Hong. She was the one who sent the defense plan to Shangguan Wei at that time."
Qingyue pulled Shen Hong to the middle.
Shen Hong glanced at Jing Tianlie timidly, and then bowed to the empress: "Shen Hong, the sinner, pays homage to the Holy One."
The moment he saw Shen Hong, Jing Heng was completely panicked, and Jing Tianlie was also panicked.
Zhang Qian and Xuan Yi came up immediately and protected Shen Hong with Qing Yue. They were worried that Jing Tianlie would kill someone and silence him.
The empress asked: "Shen Hong, what is going on? Please tell the truth."
Shen Hong bowed and said, "Back to your Majesty, the guilty minister was in Linjiang City that day, defending with General Shui Han."
"The day before the princess arrived, General Shui Han received a letter from the General, asking General Shui Han to reveal the defense plan to Shangguan Wei and find an opportunity to kill Master Long."
"General Shui Han followed the general's instructions and sent the guilty minister to deliver the defense plan."
Jing Tianlie was furious and shouted: "This is nonsense, I have never given Shui Han a secret message!"
The empress shouted coldly: "General, let her finish!"
Jing Tianlie was so angry that his eyes were like bells, and he wished he could eat Shen Hong alive.
"Go on, who did you give it to and how did you give it?"
The empress asked.
All officials and people listened with their ears pricked up.
Shen Hong said: "The guilty minister gave it to the spies of the Mighty Heavenly Legion, and the meeting place was the wine shop at the east gate."
The empress asked again: "How do you know the spies of the Mighty Heavenly Legion?"
Shen Hong replied: "We know that the hidden stakes arranged by Shangguan Wei in the city are usually just for surveillance. At this time, in order to send out the defense plan, the criminal went to find him."
The empress asked again: "This matter is not trivial. What evidence do you have to prove it?"
Shen Hong looked at Jing Tianlie fearfully, then took out half of the jade tiger from her sleeve and said, "This is the token agreed between the general and General Shui Han. It was sent together with the secret letter."
The moment he saw Yuhu, Jing Tianlie yelled: "This is not my thing!"
Di Luoxi stepped forward to snatch the jade tiger and gave it to the empress.
The empress held the jade tiger, played with it carefully, and said coldly: "I mobilize the army and use tiger talismans. This jade tiger is similar to my tiger talisman. Does the general also want to be the emperor?"
hiss...
Everyone present was shocked.
These words were too serious, so I almost asked Jing Tianlie if he wanted to rebel?
The tiger talisman is a token of the imperial court's mobilization of troops, and Jing Tianlie's private production of the jade tiger is evidence of rebellion.
Jing Tianlie knelt down in front of the empress, prostrated on the ground, and said in obeisance: "The Holy Master clearly shows that Shen Hong is talking nonsense. This is not the property of a humble minister!"
The empress said coldly: "The secret letter contains your signature, but you said it was fake; Shen Hong took out the jade tiger, and you also said it was fake."
"I ask you, what is true? Whose secret letter and jade tiger are they?"
The general was obedient to the empress, which made the ministers present who were attached to Jing Tianlie feel like they had fallen into a hole in the ice.
They thought that Jing Tianlie was powerful enough to check the empress, but now they found that this was not the case at all.
Jing Tianlie thought for a long time and said: "This must be the work of the traitor Jing Heng!"
The empress nodded slightly: "Well, I think so too. The general is loyal to the country, so how can he collude with the enemy and rebel."
"It must be that Jing Heng was jealous of Long Cheng'en for taking away his position as Minister of Household Affairs. That's why he was so ignorant that he collaborated with the enemy and treason, resulting in the death of 40,000 of our soldiers in battle!"
"Jing Tianlie, you are the general, what do you think should be done?"
The empress spoke very lightly, but every word pierced into Jing Tianlie's heart like a dagger.
The officials present were silent, but the people watching were already shouting "Kill without mercy", "Pay life" and "Behead to death".
Forty thousand soldiers were killed, including their brothers, sisters and sons. They wanted to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin.
The empress was questioning, the officials were watching, and the people were cursing.
Jing Tianlie was forced into a desperate situation and he had to give an explanation.
"Jing Heng collaborates with the enemy and commits treason, and shall be punished with death!"
Although Jing Tianlie felt that his son was worthless, his heart was bleeding when he said that he was guilty and deserved death.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood, and it was just destroyed like this!
The empress nodded slightly and said: "Jing Heng instigated Shui Han to collaborate with the enemy and treason. It has nothing to do with the general. Jing Heng will be executed immediately!"
Jing Heng sat on the chair, feeling completely stupid.
Aren’t we here to interrogate Long Chen today? Aren’t we here to force Long Chen to death? Why was he the one who died in the end?
"Dad, dad, it's not me, I...I just...I'm not...save me!"
Jing Heng stood up and wanted to run, but was captured on the spot by the Imperial Army.
The empress looked at Hu Chengfu, the Minister of Punishment: "Hu Shangshu?"
Hu Chengfu stood blankly, this meant that he wanted him to execute him, but to execute Jing Heng, wouldn't this mean that he would completely break up with Jing Tianlie?
"Your Majesty, this..."
Hu Chengfu wanted to refuse, but the empress's gaze was extremely cold.
Whether to offend the Empress or Jing Tianlie, he can only choose one of the two!
