Chapter 654

In the face of Yan Xiang's severe criticism, situ Xiao's eyebrows tightened tightly, and the silence in the hall was suffocating.

Half ring, situ Xiaocai calm way: "who report, I ask for confrontation."

Yin Xiang: "the informants are anonymous, but I have sent someone to verify all the evidence. There are both human and material evidence. If you want to confront, it's OK."

Situ Xiao: "the verification that Yin Xiang said does not mean that it is true. The Ministry of punishment should have the right to review and examine it. Now you are full of slander on me. I have nothing to say, and I can't get any evidence to prove my innocence. I just ask that the evidence be handed over to the Ministry of punishment for thorough investigation."

Yin Xiangzao guessed that situ Xiao would say so, and agreed: "what you asked is reasonable, but this case is very important. I will participate in the whole process, including Dali temple and Yushitai, and the three parties will assist in supervising this case."

Early after the court, situ Xiao was forbidden in the house, and was not allowed to enter or leave without permission until the investigation results of the Ministry of punishment came out.

In the evening, Zhong Chong, the former Minister of punishment, quietly went to situ's house.

The present Minister of the Ministry of punishment is Zhang Ge, the former Minister of the Ministry of punishment. Although most of the officials of the Ministry of punishment are in charge of situ Xiao, Zhong Chong, the former Minister of the Ministry of punishment, is Zhang Ge's boss, but now he is his subordinate.

These days, Zhong Chong doesn't give him less face. Zhang Ge is also innocent. He doesn't want to be the minister himself. Of course, if he doesn't want to be the minister at all, it's not true.

But at this time, Zhong Chong is still the leader of the school. The most important thing is that he still tells Zhong Chong what he has to say and doesn't let him go.

Zhang Ge's mood is predictably depressed.

It's just that Zhong Chong doesn't pay attention to him, and the master doesn't trust him. What's the significance of what he's doing now? In the end, it's just a passing act.

Moreover, Zhang Ge is also thinking that most of the evidence he has collected today is true. It's hard to say whether the master can survive this battle. Should he have made preparations early?

Situ mansion.

Zhong Chong explained the case one by one, but he was also worried: "Lord, how did the evidence come from? Can you find out?"

Another official said: "I suspect that someone inside betrayed us. It's probably the confidants around the Lord."

Situ Xiao rubbed his forehead with a headache: "except for Li Changting, I can't think of anyone else. I didn't expect that I was under his surveillance all these years!"

Even if situ Xiao was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney hurt, there was nothing he could do. It had happened. Now is not the time to trace the cause. The key is to deal with the unfavorable situation.

"Can this case be suppressed?" Situ Xiao looks at Zhong Chong.

"Er..." Zhong Chong hesitated twice and said, "I'm afraid I can't hold it down. The other side has solid evidence. Even if we delay, we won't last long. Let's I'm afraid we have to plan ahead. "

Another said earnestly: "Lord, if we wait for Yin Xiang to take over our troops, our efforts over the years will be in vain, and we will make wedding clothes for others in vain."

"And once the news came out, Yin Xiang's prestige among the people was higher than ours. In addition, if the families of the injured officials put pressure on the Lord, the people would not care so much. They only believed what they heard, and we could drown by spitting on the stars."

"The situation we are facing now is that the criminal evidence is solid and the reputation is ruined. Once Yin Xiang and other officials ask for the arrest of the prince, does the prince really want to go into the prison? These accusations are enough to kill all the people. It's better to break the boat! "

People also advised: "yes, Lord, it's urgent. You really need to think it over."

What are you thinking about?

Although we didn't make it clear, situ Xiao knew that he was considering rebellion.

They raise so many troops and collect so much money just for this day.

Duanmu house.

After hearing what happened in this morning's court, Xu Qing didn't expect that Li Changting could collect so much evidence from situ Xiao.

I didn't see how busy Li Changting was at ordinary times. I didn't expect that he would do great things in a dull voice. If he didn't make a move, he would be astonishing!

"Although these evidences can convict situ Xiao, can they really catch him?" Xu Qingke thinks that situ Xiao is not a man who will wait to die.

Li Changting: "now situ Xiao wants to live. There is only one way to go, that is to rebel."

Xu Qing: "can't we solve him before he revolts? It's not good to fight when it's time."

Duanmu ring: "do you think situ Xiao can kill us?"

Xu Qing: "of course not."

Duanmu ring: "similarly, we can't assassinate him. Situ Xiao knows that we are in the capital, how can we not be on guard."

Although Duanmu Xiang can go to situ's house to poison, smoke and kill situ Xiao by force, it will also expose himself. If Duanmu Xiang is killed before he is convicted, he will be wanted by the imperial court and chased by his subordinates.

The charge of assassinating the Regent is enough that he can't set foot in the capital all his life, and he doesn't know when he will be stabbed secretly with this life.Knowing the pros and cons, Duanmu Xiang will not take the risk.

But situ Xiao will not wait until he is found guilty, he will certainly flee the capital ahead of time.

Li Changting and Duanmu are not omnipotent.

Xu Qing asked: "where will situ Xiao go after the rebellion?"

Li Changting: "in Yuzhou, situ Xiao had a premeditated plan. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses from canglinggou, on the outskirts of the capital, rushed to Yuzhou for the first time after they were exposed. They joined with thirty thousand soldiers and horses from Yuzhou and Yuzhou garrison, including half of Jingzhou next to Yuzhou. It is estimated that situ Xiao is also in control. Fortunately, there is no garrison in Jingzhou."

Speaking of this, Xu Qing had to recall the territory of DAHAO.

The capital is located in the South and north of Jingzhou, which can be regarded as within the territory of Jingzhou. Therefore, the military guards of Jingzhou are concentrated in the capital. Standing in the south of the capital, Qingzhou is on the left, Yuzhou is on the right, and Hezhou is on the south.

Qingzhou is close to the sea, while Yuzhou is to the northwest. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and covers twice the area of Jingzhou.

Situ Xiao wanted to be king in Yuzhou, competing with the capital city and taking advantage of the terrain.

In addition, the southernmost border of DAHAO was Xiangzhou and lezhou to the north of Xiangzhou. The garrisons of these two states were all subordinates of situ Xiao.

If situ Xiaoruo started a rebellion, Yuzhou, Xiangzhou and lezhou were the key defense targets of the imperial court.

It's one thing to know, but it's another to do something.

It's too sudden to report situ Xiao. Now it's too late and impossible to replace the generals of lezhou and Yuzhou.

So Li Changting said that the timing is not very good. If we really fight, we can only fight hard to see whose fist is hard.

Is the odds high?

Presumably at the moment situ Xiao is also estimating the probability of winning.

On the premise that both sides are confident in themselves, they probably feel that their chances of winning are the highest.
