Chapter 1007: Uncle Shi Makes His Move
Looking at the face in front of them, the remaining princes felt aggrieved. They wished they could punch him hard and knock Zhang Ronghua to the ground. Then, they would beat him up. However, they had no choice but to answer,” Speak with evidence.”
From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Du Chengming. This was a piece of trash! He dropped the ball at the crucial moment.
This was just the beginning. These people had jumped very fiercely just now. They seized the opportunity and naturally stepped on them to death.
“Ministers, do you agree?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.
Zhang Qinglin should not be a son!
He had already gained the upper hand, yet he still wanted to give up. Although he was angry, he had no choice but to deny it against his conscience.
He stopped in front of Chu Xuping. The morning court session had just begun, and this guy had jumped out to give Xu Xing a bad taste. Now that he had the chance, he could take revenge.
“What do you think, Lord Chu?” Zhang Ronghua asked with a smile.
Chu Xuping felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. So many people did not target him, but they targeted him. They trampled on his prestige and increased Xu Xing’s reputation? “Let the facts speak for themselves.”
Zhang Ronghua did not let him off so easily. He continued to dig a hole.
“F * ck!” Chu Xuping cursed in his heart.
The two major crimes had not been decided yet. If he answered wrongly, he would be dragged into the water. Although it was troublesome, he reacted quickly and bowed to Emperor Xia.” Your Majesty has his own decision!”
Zhang Ronghua stopped in front of the officials again and looked around. He realized that none of them dared to look at him. They either lowered their heads or looked elsewhere. They were disdainful of their actions.
His goal had been achieved, and it was time to settle this matter.
He bowed to Emperor Xia once again and said,” Your Majesty, the evidence of Du Chengming colluding with the Shang Dynasty is conclusive. I propose that all nine families be executed. All the officials involved should be arrested and interrogated under torture. The spies hidden inside should be uncovered.”
Du Chengming panicked. He angrily pointed at her and shouted,”This is slander!” This subject has served the country loyally all my life and has never done anything to let down Great Xia, much less collude with the Shang Dynasty. On the contrary, you, after relying on Shang Qingxuan for a long time, even ordered someone to give her the three formulas for the spiritual item that you developed. Your entire family should be executed!”
The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Jiang Shangcheng, stood up and bowed.” The evidence that Du Chengming took out, from the beginning to the end, did not show Zhang Ronghua’s figure. Just like what the princes and ministers said, everything should be based on facts. Just because Shang Qingxuan is a princess of the Shang Dynasty and has a noble status, her words cannot be evidence. If that’s the case, in the future, if a capable and talented person appears in our Xia Dynasty, it will be enough to cause them huge losses. The Shang Dynasty can casually send out a princess or prince to destroy them. If there was a first time, there would be a second time. At that time, everyone present, and even the others, would not be able to avoid it! The Shang Emperor doesn’t need to do anything. As long as he keeps slapping, he can finish off everyone present.”
He paused for a moment.
He said again.
“Although capturing Shang Qingxuan is a merit, and a merit at that, merits and demerits cannot be offset. One is one, and we cannot mix them together. The evidence of Du Chengming colluding with the Shang Dynasty is irrefutable. The two recording stones that Zhang Ronghua took out, one recorded the evidence, the other recorded Du Chengming himself, as well as the confessions of the guards and others. I propose that all nine of our families be executed! The Imperial Censorate, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice will work together to mobilize elites to interrogate the relevant personnel. Anyone who is involved in this case will have their nine families executed as a warning to others!”
After saying so much in one breath, he took a moment to calm down.
” Considering Du Chengming’s meritorious service, we can make an exception and leave his corpse intact, but we must warn others.”
“Your Majesty!” Du Chengming said anxiously. This subject is wronged.”
Jiang Shangcheng’s expression turned cold. He went up and kicked him to the ground.” I gave you some face, but you still want to climb up?” You colluded with the Shang Dynasty, and Shang Qingxuan probably planned everything out. She took the initiative to give you a heaven-shaking merit to get rid of Zhang Ronghua, causing Great Xia to lose a capable general. Then, she used this merit to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and obtain greater authority, serving the Shang Dynasty even better!”
The people from the Ministry of Personnel stood out and seconded.
The Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs represented His Majesty. Since Jiang Shangcheng had said so, the nature of the two cases had been decided.
In fact.
Jiang Shangcheng’s words had really hit the nail on the head. Shang Qingxuan had set everything up and handed the saber to Du Chengming, which was why this scene had happened.
The situation was clear. Even if the officials did not know how to express their stance, they did not need to be officials. They could just resign and avoid being killed by their political enemies!
He immediately expressed his support for Jiang Shangcheng’s proposal.
For a moment, the imperial court was in a state of agitation. Some officials even cursed and scolded Du Chengming as a beast!
At this point.
Du Chengming knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he closed his eyes unwillingly.
He waited until it was quiet.
“Censor Zhang, where did the ten thousand year spirit herbs and Tribulation Lightning spirit herbs go?” Yang Kai Tai asked.
Zhang Ronghua knew that these were people from the Sui Family. He also guessed that someone must have jumped out to ask about the two Voice Recording Stones. After all, the value of this batch of things was too great. No one would give up!

” You should ask Du Chengming this question. I only got the evidence. When I rushed over, the thing was already gone.”
Xu Xing continued,”This subject can testify! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Lu Zhantang of the Soul Palace.”
The officials were speechless!
Who doesn’t know that the three of you are so close that you wear the same pair of pants?
Yang Kai Tai didn’t give up and looked at Du Cheng Ming,”Where are the spirit herbs?”
