Everyone looked at Marquis Weiwu, and at the same time, their eyes seemed to say, the bet is over, you have lost.
Yushi Bai can be said to be very proud of himself. If he doesn't add insult to injury at this moment, it would not be his style.
He stepped forward and said, "I have something to say."
During this period, the emperor had always turned a blind eye. Although Bai Yushi's position was occupied by Marquis Weiwu, Bai Yushi came to the court every day, and the emperor had no objection.
After all, the emperor did not fully believe in the ability of Marquis Weiwu.
"explain."
Bai Yushi said: "Marquis Weiwu took advantage of his authority to arrest and detain people without authorization, and harmed innocent people."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Marquis Weiwu.
I thought to myself, this old Marquis usually criticizes others very hard, but you have been making trouble for a long time and you are not standing upright.
Seeing the old Marquis standing there silently, everyone felt even more that he must have a guilty conscience.
Before anyone else could say anything, Mr. Wen from Qintian Prison was the first to be unable to bear it.
If it weren't for Marquis Weiwu, they probably wouldn't be able to be so reused and trusted by the emperor.
He immediately stepped forward and said: "Yu Shi Bai has provided evidence. If you don't have evidence, don't slander anyone here."
Everyone looked at Lord Wen in confusion, wondering if there was something wrong with Lord Wen.
Marquis Weiwu is just a passer-by in the court, and he will always have to leave. Is it worth offending his colleagues for him?
The emperor said: "Yushi Bai, do you have evidence?"
Bai Yushi's triangular eyes instantly narrowed to a slit, and he said, "Wei Chen certainly has evidence."
Master Wen glanced at Marquis Weiwu worriedly, and then stepped back.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had a good relationship with Mr. Wen, reminded him in a low voice: "You are stupid or not, but don't offend the tree for someone who has nothing to do with it."
Master Wen whispered: "Listen to me and make friends with Marquis Weiwu now. It's absolutely right."
"You're crazy."
"Mighty Marquis, there is an expert behind you to guide you."
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "...Master?"
The Minister of Industry immediately stood up and said: "Emperor, I feel that something is fishy, and I should give Marquis Weiwu a chance to explain."
Marquis Weiwu: "No need to explain, Master Bai is right."
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "..."
The emperor had already read the evidence, and his face suddenly darkened: "Marquis Weiwu, did you really do what you said above?"
"It was Wei Chen who kidnapped Mr. Wu Qi in front of the teahouse, punished him severely, and imprisoned him secretly."
Everyone: "..."
This is a self-inflicted confession and a confession in public.
Bai Yushi was so angry that he pointed at Marquis Weiwu and said, "As an official of the imperial court, you know how to break the law. Marquis Weiwu, do you take the laws of Chu and the emperor into your eyes?"
Seeing that the Minister of Dali Temple was reluctant to speak, Marquis Weiwu said, "The Minister of Dali Temple knows about this matter."
The Minister of Dali Temple suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He only found out about this matter when he was interviewed by Marquis Weiwu yesterday. If he told the truth and no evidence was found for this matter in the end, he would have to follow suit.
"Master Dali Temple, what do you say?"
When the emperor asked, the minister of Dali Temple quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If he didn't tell him, Marquis Weiwu would definitely say that he had been informed.
This old guy is really angry with you. Why would you involve yourself in this matter?
At this point, he could only bite the bullet.
He said: "This matter is related to the face of the Imperial family, so Marquis Weiwu and I can only investigate in private and do not dare to disturb the court."
Yushi Bai was stunned, looked at the Dali Temple minister and said, "You have found the whereabouts of Master Bai Qi a long time ago, and you are actually collaborating with Marquis Weiwu?"
The Minister of Dali Temple gave Bai Yushi a roll of his eyes, as if to say: Idiot, you are seeking death yourself, you can't blame others.
Then he looked at the emperor and said, "This matter is related to the death of Concubine Wu."
As soon as the word "Wu Fei" came out, everyone was shocked.
Everyone in the court didn't know that Concubine Wu was a taboo between the emperor and the empress. Concubine Wu's death took away the third prince.
The emperor's expression really changed, and there was a terrifying air pressure all over his body.
Said: "Be specific."
The Minister of Dali Temple immediately took out the testimony he had received from Master Wu Qi: "This is testimony. Concubine Wu is not an orphan. She disguised her identity to win the emperor's sympathy and successfully entered the palace to become the emperor's concubine."
After reading the above testimony, the emperor felt depressed.
"She lied to me, she actually dared to lie to me."
With a "pop" sound, the emperor slapped the testimony on the table and said fiercely: "I want to meet the so-called Master Wu Qi."
Bai Yushi was still wondering how things could become like this, and why Concubine Wu and Master Bai Qi were related.
Marquis Weiwu said: "We have found out that Concubine Wu is not dead, but is being raised in the outer room by Censor Bai."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Yushi Bai's expression changed: "You are talking nonsense."
Everyone also found it incredible that when Concubine Wu died, the emperor was heartbroken, but he personally placed her in the coffin.
Marquis Weiwu continued: "Yushi Bai, how many lives have you killed in order to get this beauty, Concubine Wu, have you forgotten?"
"You're talking nonsense." Bai Yushi's face turned pale.
In order to get Yaoniang, he wiped out every family in the village.
Moreover, so many years have passed since the incident, and there is no evidence at all, so it is impossible for others to know.
Marquis Weiwu said: "You, Censor Bai, handled the matter extremely well and did not leave any evidence."
Bai Yushi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was no evidence.
He said coldly: "Marquis Weiwu, are you telling a story without any evidence?"
"But you ignored it. The woman you have been dreaming about is the best evidence."
Bai Yushi snorted coldly, Yao Niang had given birth to three children for him, and Yao Niang would never say anything even if she died.
The Minister of Dali Temple has a headache. The evidence that Marquis Weiwu said is probably the same as what he didn't say.
The emperor said: "Bring Yushi Bai's wife and Master Wu Qi up together."
Bai Yushi came forward and knelt down and said: "I don't have any outsiders. Everything is fabricated by Marquis Weiwu. I ask the emperor to investigate clearly."
Marquis Weiwu: "Wei Chen will make arrangements now."
The Minister of Dali Temple looked at Marquis Weiwu in surprise, his eyes seemed to say: Marquis Weiwu, you are an old man, why didn't you say that the man was in your hands yesterday?
He asked him to conduct a secret investigation in person, and after a lonely search, there was no sign of any outer room.
Marquis Weiwu replied with his eyes: My granddaughter said that it is essential to be on guard against others. Who knows if you will side with me today, I will definitely be on guard.
Bai Yushi: Impossible, absolutely impossible.
As early as when I faced off with Marquis Weiwu, I had asked Yao Niang to be sent away early so that Marquis Weiwu would not be able to find her.
Everyone didn't wait long before Wu Qiye and Yao Niang were escorted into the court hall.
Yao Niang is soft and graceful, with the posture of a weak willow supporting the wind. She is the kind of beauty that can arouse a man's protective desire.
The moment Emperor Chu saw her, his eyes turned completely cold.
The emperor's ministers who had seen Concubine Wu all exclaimed: "Concubine Wu?"
Even Prime Minister Yan was shocked, and then gave Bai Yushi a hard look.
