The other ministers present were also stunned.
This guy Xiao Chen really wants to stroke the tiger's beard!
He really planned to expose this matter at this time, and he also wanted to use Jiang Rongfeng, an important witness, to bring down Zhou Tianfu!
Zhou Tianfu's face was as dark as water, and his teeth were clenching.
The male protagonist really doesn’t want to live anymore!
His eyes were like daggers as he glanced at the male protagonist, full of warnings.
It's a pity that Xiao Chen simply regarded Zhou Tianfu's warning as non-existent, and his tone was extremely cold:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to think about this matter at all!"
"Because this Jiang Rongfeng is the most important witness. He not only knows that Zhou Tianfu is making money in Jiangdong Road, but also has evidence that Zhou Tianfu and the Zhou family are squandering human lives, preying on the common people, and exploiting businessmen..."
At this point, a hissing sound suddenly came from above the court.
Those civil and military officials looked as if they had seen ghosts.
And Zhou Tianfu was indeed furious, and shouted loudly at that time:
"Shu Zi, how dare you slander my name!"
His roar was quite powerful.
Those who didn’t know thought how wronged he had been…
Chu Yanwu also cast his gaze over, but didn't say much.
The emperor looked over, and Zhou Tianfu immediately bent down, his voice extremely sad, as if he was about to cry blood:
"His Majesty!"
"I have served as a minister for two dynasties and have been loyal to Chu. How could I do such a thing? It's obviously this castrated dog who is throwing dirty water on me!"
Chu Yanwu wished he could just cut him into pieces, but he could only suppress his impatience and waved his hand:
"Since you think you are wronged, you have to provide evidence!"
"Otherwise, no matter what happens, I won't be able to protect you!"
Zhou Tianfu's face turned red, his veins popped up, and he said angrily:
"Your Majesty, you must know that Xiao Chen was able to bring Jiang Rongfeng out, which means that Xiao Chen secretly hid Jiang Rongfeng!"
"Jiang Rongfeng's death has been heard by heaven. What is he doing? This is deceiving the emperor!"
When he said this, everyone was moved.
Zhou Tianfu's words were not wrong.
Xiao Chen hid a criminal until now, and did not tell Chu Yanwu, and even spread suspicion and pretended that he was dead.
This is indeed "deceiving the emperor"!
Zhou Tianfu was striking while the iron was hot, putting big hats on Xiao Chen one after another:
"Your Majesty, this incident completely shows that Xiao Chen is an ambitious man!"
"Perhaps the previous fire in Dongchang was also done intentionally by him, just to confuse everyone, cry about the misery, and gain profits for himself!"
What he said was really not wrong, and it made sense at first glance.
Chu Yanwu also cast his gaze on Xiao Chen, with a bit of coldness in his eyes:
"Xiao Chen, what do you have to say?"
But at this moment, Xiao Chen said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, it's not good for him to say that."
Chu Yanwu snorted coldly: "Then you explain first!"
Everyone focused their attention on Xiao Chen, including Zhou Tianfu who looked angry.
They all wanted to know.
How should Xiao Chen respond?
Xiao Chen's expression was as calm as before, and his figure was as tall and motionless as a green pine and a lonely bamboo:
"Your Majesty, in fact, I don't need to explain this matter at all..."
Chu Yanwu's eyes narrowed, seeming a little unhappy.
Xiao Chen smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry!"
"What I said does not require explanation, because the confession given by the witness Jiang Rongfeng is the best explanation!"
"You just need to understand and you will understand the truth of the matter!"
His words were like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night.
Everyone even felt deafening and their hearts were shaking.
The scalps of all the civil and military officials present were numb.
Because at least 60% to 70% of the civil and military officials present had connections with Chu Yanwu.
Even if there is no connection, they are still afraid of something "disastrous to the fish in the pond".
And Xiao Chen is famous for being crazy, who knows what he will say or do later!
Xiao Chenyou waved his hand, and the guard who escorted Jiang Rongfeng directly handed over a confession.
Chu Yanwu's face was filled with clouds. It seems that he is considering what to do.
During the time that Chu Yanwu was deliberation, the scene was completely silent, which could be described as complete silence.
Xiao Chen took a few deep breaths and took another step forward.
However, this time he was not facing Chu Yanwu. Instead, he turned around and faced the civil and military officials:
"Everyone! There have been frequent dangerous cases in the capital recently!"
"First there was the fire in the East Factory, then there was the old woman playing drums to complain, and there were even more than one assassination. Don't you want to know where all this chaos came from?"
Seeing that everyone was still silent, Xiao Chen chuckled and took out his trump card:
"What happened to me today will happen to you tomorrow!"
"Everyone, wake up!"
What he said was a complete warning.
Zhou Tianfu also knew that Xiao Chen could not be allowed to say this anymore.
What if Xiao Chen stirs up the minds of the remaining officials who are enemies of him? It would be difficult to handle!
He scolded coldly:
"Xiao Chen, stop talking nonsense!"
"Regardless of anything else, Jiang Rongfeng has committed a heinous crime and should be beheaded as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, the people will be boiling again, and even the officialdom of our country, Da Chu, will not be peaceful!"
At this moment, Chu Yanwu, who had a cold expression on his face, spoke:
"Zhou Aiqing, you don't need to be so anxious...what Xiao Chen said is not unreasonable!"
This sentence is like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening. There is a "buzzing" in everyone's mind, and then this sentence is lingering in their hearts.
What Chu Yanwu meant by saying this is actually quite clear.
He made it clear and showed his cards that he supported Xiao Chen to get Zhou Tianfu.
Zhou Tianfu's face turned pale and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
The civil and military officials present who were related to Zhou Tianfu also felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Xiao Chen felt very happy, the curtain was finally going to be raised.
He bent down and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, since you think what Wei Chen said is very reasonable, I hope your Majesty can take a look at Jiang Rongfeng's confession!"
"Or, you can listen to what Jiang Rongfeng will say later!"
These two sentences from Xiao Chen's mouth were like the shocking slap in the storyteller's hand, which made everyone present feel numb.
Chu Yanwu closed his eyes and spit out one word:
"good……"
After the word "good" fell, Zhou Tianfu's face turned pale.
He himself knew very well what Jiang Rongfeng's situation was.
If the matter between him and Zhou Tianfu comes out, it will be the death penalty of confiscating the house and exterminating the family!
Chu Yanwu opened his closed eyes, his eyes filled with cold light:
"I want to hear what Jiang Rongfeng will say today!"
