Seeing that Tang Yin was standing on the carriage, the citizens stopped what they were doing to avoid hurting him. They raised their heads and looked at him without blinking.
Tang Yin said in a loud voice: "Zhong Tian's crimes are unforgivable, everyone is furious, I can understand everyone's feelings, but now is not the time to kill him, we need to first investigate all of Zhong Tian's crimes and announce it to the world, then we can severely punish him, and give us justice!" "Master is wise!" "Master is wise?" Following after Tang Yin annihilating the two brothers Zhan Wushuang and capturing the traitor Zhong Tian alive, his position in the hearts of the citizens had already been extremely high. Now, no matter what he said, the citizens would listen. As soon as he finished speaking, the citizens started shouting and cheering, following that, the people all rushed down and kneeled down, many of them looking at Tang Yin with eyes of worship.
It could be said that Tang Yin capturing Zhong Tian alive had raised his standing in the hearts of the people by a large extent, and had even surpassed the three traditional nobles, Wu Yu, Liang Xing, and Ziyang Haochun.
It seemed like Tang Yin's road to becoming a king was already unstoppable! Wu Yu laughed bitterly in his heart, but he soon felt relieved. After all, Tang Yin had relied on the Wu Family to become a king, and had Wu Mei's relationship. After becoming a Feng King, he only had benefits for his Wu Family.
Wu Yu had a backer, but Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun frowned slightly. In their eyes, once Tang Yin became king, it would mean the end of their clan's prosperity, no matter who became the king, Tang Yin could never do it. The two of them shared the same thoughts in their hearts as they clenched their palms into fists.
There were more people gathered outside the city, and more people inside the city. The streets were crowded with only a narrow passageway that was lined with people on both sides. When the Feng Army led by Tang Yin entered the city, cheers sounded continuously. The sky was filled with red petals that fluttered in the wind, as if a red rain was falling from the sky. The scene was both spectacular and beautiful.
It was unknown how long it had been since the lifeless Yan City had been so lively. Even though it was broad daylight, all the families were decorated with lanterns, cheering, and laughter could be heard endlessly. It was as if they were celebrating, a joyous atmosphere permeated the entire city.
Tang Yin arranged for hidden arrows and Feng Army to coordinate with each other to escort Zhong Tian to the dungeon, while he himself was invited by Wu Yu to the residence, so naturally all the ministers followed along. When they arrived at the residence, Wu Yu wanted to let Tang Yin sit in the center. The latter continuously waved her hands, and then took the initiative to sit at the side, allowing Wu Yu to sit in the middle.
Wu Yu enjoyed Tang Yin's modesty very much, and his face was much more radiant. He also gave way to the other ministers, allowing them to sit. Although Tang Yin was seated at the position to attack, the people standing behind him were the most, and none of them were mediocre. There were Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan, Shangguan Yuanji and the rest, there were Shangguan Yuan, Zhan Hu, Jiang Fan and Jiang Fan, as well as the Generals of the army of Shangguan, Sanshui, Chifeng, Chifeng, and Heavenly Eagle, all of them were refined and strong, standing at their respective sides, spirited and full of vigor.
Under Wu Yu's guidance, Tang Yin and the other officials exchanged greetings, and after the tea was over, Wu Yu got back to the main topic at hand. He first laughed out loud, and then said to Tang Yin: "This time, Master Tang is leading the army, Xiao Mei and Xiao Ying must have given Master Tang a lot of trouble, right?!" Right now, Wu Mei and Wu Ying no longer had official positions, so it was not good for the two of them to show themselves, but although the two sisters were not in the hall, they could still eavesdrop and peek at what was happening. Hearing her father's words, the two of them immediately turned to look at the laughing Tang Yin.
Tang Yin did not look towards the door, but the corner of his eyes did not ignore the two heads squeezed at the door. He smiled indifferently, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister Wu is too modest, not long ago, the two misses were still in the army capturing Zhong Tian's trusted aides, who attempted to break through the encirclement. They have rendered a great merit!" After hearing those words, Wu Mei and Wu Ying's jade face reddened. They were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to hide in. In reality, it was not only the two of them capturing their enemies, but also the opposite. Wu Mei had been captured by his enemies, if not for Tang Yin rushing back in time, who knows what would have happened!
Even though he knew that Tang Yin was exaggerating, Wu Yu was still very happy. He laughed, shook his head and said, "Master Tang is truly spoiling this girl." In the past, whenever Wu Yu and Wu Mei walked too close, Wu Yu would immediately reveal a displeased expression. But now, he had instead taken the initiative to rely on Wu Mei to get closer to him.
All the ministers were well aware of the situation, but there was nothing they could do. Who asked them to not give birth to such a charming daughter?
Wu Yu stopped smiling, changed the subject, and asked sternly: "Master Tang, Zhong Tian has caused so much anger among the people, this thief must be dealt with as soon as possible!" Tang Yin expressed his agreement and nodded his head again and again.
Wu Yu continued: "I don't know, in Master Tang's opinion, who should interrogate Zhong Tian first?" Once he got to the crux of the matter, all the ministers turned to look at Tang Yin.
Furthermore, it was the most important point. It was that it could affect a large group of people through interrogating Zhong Tian, and regardless of whether or not the opponent had colluded with Zhong Tian, it would rely on the words of the interrogator to determine the other party's life and death. This was a great opportunity to get rid of those who were different from him, restrain one's heart, and get rich, so interrogating Zhong Tian was an easy, pleasing, and profitable, beautiful job.
Tang Yin was not interested in this. Right now, he only valued the throne. He blinked and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone in Prime Minister Wu's mind?" Wu Yu said with a stern expression: "Since Zhong Tian was captured by the Master Tang, the responsibility of interrogating him should rest with the Master Tang." Hearing this, the ministers who wanted to fight for the position lost all hope. No matter how hard they tried to fight, they couldn't win against Tang Yin!
However, Tang Yin himself was not interested in the topic at hand, and he did not have the time to do something as insignificant as interrogate Zhong Tian. If it was something that was not beneficial to him, Tang Yin would definitely not take it from him. His eyes darted around as he deliberately revealed a troubled expression, saying faintly, "Although Zhong Tian is guilty of heinous crimes, he is still a noble and powerful person. If I, a mere County Head, were to interrogate him, I am afraid that it would be difficult for me to convince the masses." Everyone's eyes lit up and immediately became spirited again.
"This …" Hearing his words, Wu Yu did not know how to reply.
At this time, Ziyang Haochun stood up, and spoke sternly: "Leave Zhong Tian's interrogation to me, I definitely have a way to open his mouth, and let him do all sorts of evil deeds!" Heh! Tang Yin almost laughed out loud. Even Zhong Tian wouldn't be able to live past tomorrow, judging from his appearance, he didn't look like he wanted to interrogate Zhong Tian, but more like he wanted to vent his personal hatred. Tang Yin did not consider the benefits of interrogating Zhong Tian in any way, but he felt that Ziyang Haochun was not a suitable candidate. At this time, he saw that Wu Yu's face was ugly, as if he wanted to say something, but did not know how to do so. Tang Yin was very smart, he immediately realized that Wu Yu wanted to fight over this matter, and secretly laughed in his heart.
"Then, he coughed lightly and said sternly:" Prime Minister Wu is the head of the civil service, she is of great prestige, and in the past she was also as famous as Zhong Tian, so she should be very familiar with him, I think it is more appropriate for this matter to be handed over to Prime Minister Wu, after Zhong Tian is convicted, Great General Ziyang will be involved in this matter. " Supervising Beheading? Tang Yin actually wanted a dignified Great General like him to be an executioner? When Ziyang Haochun heard this, he was so angry that his nose almost went crooked, but before he could even say anything to express his dissatisfaction, Wu Yu had already opened his mouth and said, "Thank you Master Tang for thinking so highly of this minister. I hope Master Tang and the various Masters can be rest assured that I will give the people of the world a satisfactory explanation for interrogating Zhong Tian!" When he spoke, Wu Yu was righteous but in reality, his heart was already blooming with joy.
Although Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun had a lot of supporters, but he could still use the method of interrogating Zhong Tian to completely destroy them. Once the two of them turn into bald eagles, how would they be able to oppose him in the future?! Before the interrogation had started, Wu Yu had already started thinking about how to get rid of his enemies.
At this time, the ministers attached to Wu Yu all stood up, cupped their hands and said: "Master Tang is wise, Prime Minister Wu is indeed the most suitable to handle this case." With's recommendation, they settled the matter together. Ziyang Haochun was unresigned in his heart, his face was gloomy, he sat on the chair and fumed, while Liang Xing secretly inhaled, his spine was covered with cold air, he was much crazier than Ziyang Haochun, he was well aware of the stakes in Zhong Tian's interrogation, and knew why Wu Yu was fighting so hard, it was precisely because of this, that she felt as though a crisis was about to befall him.
More accurately, none of the ministers in the imperial court could catch his eyes, so he had already made up his mind. As long as he could become the king and sit on the throne, most likely, all of the ministers in the imperial court would change. He would be replaced by his trusted aides or those with true skills and knowledge.
was very happy that he managed to successfully win over the beautiful servant who had interrogated Zhong Tian. He was so mature and so deep inside the city, yet Wu Yu was beaming with joy, urging Tang Yin and the other ministers to stay for a meal at the Prime Minister's Residence.
When lunch started, Wu Yu intentionally pulled Tang Yin to his side and sat down, then asked: "Young Master Tang, may I ask where your esteemed palace is? "Who else is at home?" This was already a private occasion, so Wu Yu no longer called him Master. Instead, he addressed him with a more intimate tone.
