"Master Ye is here!"
"I've met Mr. Ye!"
"Master Ye, we believe you have been wronged!"
"Those who work for everyone should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow! Mr. Ye has made great contributions to the country. I never believe that such a person has any treasonous intentions!"
"Believe in the imperial court, believe in the Third Division, I will definitely give you a fair verdict today and restore your innocence!"
Ye Feng's supporters offered their opinions and suggestions one after another and expressed their dissatisfaction.
"I've long thought that this guy is rebellious, and sooner or later he will be rebellious! As expected, I was right about him!"
"There's no smoke without fire. How come no one reported Mr. Jiangnan Wang for treason, but why did he report you Ye Feng!?"
"That's right, if a slap can't make a difference, there must be something inside that we don't know about. Maybe this guy, with his great achievements, already has a disobedient heart!"
"I heard that this person set himself on fire at home a few days ago and was rescued in time. If he was not guilty, why would he commit suicide in fear of crime? Haha..."
"Today, we will witness together and let's see how the three divisions determine it!"
People on King Jiangnan's side also criticized and slandered him. If it weren't for a serious place like Daizaili Temple, they would be ready to throw rotten eggs.
Facing the voices of the audience, either supportive or denigrating, Ye Feng remained calm and composed, with the aura of remaining unmoved despite the collapse of a mountain.
Nowadays, Ye Feng's mind is no longer what it used to be. After stepping into the realm of immortality, he has long ignored the honor and disgrace of the world.
There is only the great road in my heart, my ambition has already been transcended, my sight is on the whole universe, my ambition is high.
How can we care that the praise or slander of all living beings is just a passing cloud in just a hundred years, not worth mentioning.
"Son, you are here today too! God is really wise and has punished you and brought you retribution!"
At this time, an old man rushed out of the crowd, yelled at Ye Feng, shouted that the sky has eyes, and vented his anger on his behalf.
And this old man was none other than his own grandfather who was expelled from the house by Ye Feng.
After learning that Ye Feng was caught for treason and was about to be blamed, Mr. Ye was so happy that he almost fainted from laughter on the spot.
Today at midnight, Mr. Ye was waiting outside the gate of Dali Temple early. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep a wink all night.
He just wanted to see Ye Feng, the traitor, convicted with his own eyes. It would be best to be beheaded on the spot to wipe away his unhappiness and even prepare firecrackers.
"You are a rebellious son with no respect for your elders. You drove me out of the house. You said you wanted to lead the whole Ye family to revival! What's the result!?"
Mr. Ye sneered and said, "You will definitely not be able to live with such a charge of treason, but you will harm the whole clan and destroy your entire family!"
"You are a disgrace to the family and a traitor to the country! As the former head of the Ye family, today I officially announce that you will be expelled from the Ye family, removed from the genealogy, and severed all relations between you and the Ye family!"
Also fearing that he or the Ye family would be implicated, Mr. Ye drew a clear line with Ye Feng on the spot, hoping that after Ye Feng was convicted, he would not implicate the family too much.
When everyone around him saw this, they all praised Mr. Ye: "Exterminating relatives for justice, well done!"
"Even Ye Feng's own grandfather is so filled with righteous indignation. It can be seen that this son deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. He is lawless! If he is not beheaded today, it is simply unjust."
The people who supported Ye Feng had no choice but to persuade him: "After all, he is your grandson, so please be merciful! Why do you have to be so cruel!"
While they were arguing, suddenly another group of people walked in from outside.
Everyone looked up and were in awe: "It's Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family!"
"It turns out to be Zhao Caishen, the former Minister of Household Affairs! Disrespectful!"
Seeing this, everyone did not dare to neglect Mr. Zhao's prominent status spanning two terms in government and business, and took the initiative to say hello.
Mr. Zhao, accompanied by his granddaughter Zhao Wanting, came directly to Ye Feng.
"Mr. Ye!"
When we met again, Mr. Zhao looked ashamed and regretful, and then bowed: "Please listen to me, you can't defeat King Jiangnan. If you are willing to give in, I will do my best to reconcile the conflicts between you two. I’ll keep you alive!”
Remembering the past friendship, Zhao Lao cherished his talent and was willing to be a peacemaker and save Ye Feng's life.
Although the two sides have deep grudges, the King of Jiangnan owes Mr. Zhao a huge favor, and he still has to give him this face.
"Mr. Ye, as long as you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistake, my grandfather will definitely be able to save you!" Zhao Wanting also persuaded from the side.
Seeing this, everyone around them was surprised again. They didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be willing to help.
They couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Zhao is very thoughtful!"
"It's Mr. Zhao who has a kind heart and is willing to come forward as a guarantee. Ye Feng, why don't you thank Mr. Zhao for saving your life!"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero! It seems that Ye Feng can escape this disaster this time!"
Just when everyone thought that Ye Feng would give in and comply with Mr. Zhao's good intentions, and then the two sides would negotiate peace.
"Don't listen to his nonsense!"
At this moment, another group of people walked in outside.
It was the cabinet members who entered the scene one after another.
Among them, naturally includes the current Minister of Household Affairs Kong Youwei.
"My junior brother has not done anything wrong, so why should he plead guilty, and why should he bow to King Jiangnan!? It's really inexplicable!"
Kong Youwei walked up to Ye Feng and strengthened his momentum.
"Junior brother, don't listen to other people's lies and deceive others, tricking you into confessing."
"This is treason, not an ordinary crime. Once you are charged with it, it will be difficult to wash it off for the rest of your life. It is completely over!"
As he said that, Kong Youwei stared at Mr. Zhao: "Mr. Zhao, do you really want to help my junior brother, or do you want to harm my junior brother? Can you admit to this kind of crime casually?"
"I want to report your son for treason tomorrow. Will you let your son admit it?"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhao was speechless: "You——!?"
"Humph, wasn't I just trying to save Ye Feng's life!? If he doesn't plead guilty and bows to King Jiangnan, then..."
"So what!?" Kong Youwei interrupted the other party's words and said righteously, "Today's three-court trial is about this case!"
"How can there be any reason to trick others into pleading guilty before the trial begins!?"
"Even if he pleads guilty, it should be King Jiangnan who pleads guilty and obeys the law!"
The old and new ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs were tit for tat and each insisted on his own opinions. The smell of gunpowder on the scene became stronger and stronger.
at this time--!
"Who dares to make me plead guilty and punished!?"
With a loud shout, King Jiangnan appeared on the stage like a star surrounded by civil and military officials.
