Zhou Tianfu couldn't help but swallow, and his fists under his official uniform clenched tightly.
However, as long as he dares to have objections, Xiao Chen may make a big fuss out of this.
It's so yellow that the crotch is covered with mud, it's not just shit, it's shit!
Xiao Chen looked at Zhou Tianfu and felt happy in his heart, and echoed loudly:
"Your Majesty is right, I promise with my head on my neck that Jiang Rongfeng will never let you down!"
His voice made all the civil and military officials curse in their hearts.
They looked as steady as old dogs, and at least a third of them were panicked.
As officials in the same dynasty, isn't it normal to have hundreds of millions of contacts?
The Minister of Industry was the first to speak:
"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
"It's not clear whether this person is Jiang Rongfeng or not. Maybe Xiao Chen found someone who looks like Jiang Rongfeng from among the people to play the role!"
"Wei Chen believes that we should not make such a decision easily!"
Before Chu Yanwu could speak, the young minister of Honglu Temple spoke immediately:
"Your Majesty! I also have something to say!"
"Wei Chen, as the young minister of Honglu Temple, can actually see that the person named Jiang Rongfeng in front of him is not Jiang Rongfeng at all!"
"My thoughts are the same as Wu Shangshu's. We still have to drag this person down and torture him. If it is not difficult, it will be difficult to determine his true identity!"
Then the Minister of Civil Affairs also spoke:
"Your Majesty, as the Emperor of Chu, you must not wrongly blame your loyal ministers because of your own words!"
"I also think that this matter needs long-term consideration!"
In just a short time, three important officials of the imperial court spoke for Zhou Tianfu...
Chu Yanwu's heart felt cold.
He had arrested a group of people before, so why were so many people speaking for him?
The court was simply infiltrated into a sieve by Chu Yanwu.
But no matter how sad and painful Chu Yanwu felt in his heart, his expression remained as calm as before:
"What you say is biased!"
"I have never said that I want to convict Zhou Tianfu because of his words. I just want to hear his side of the story... You are so excited, my dear friends, is this right?"
Zhou Tianfu's tone was leisurely, but every word was heart-breaking.
Everyone present suddenly realized something.
That means they are indeed wrong!
Even a little too hasty...
The scalps of the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Officials, and the young minister of Honglu Temple are all numb...
They also hurriedly bent down and said in a Chen voice:
"The humble minister is not paying attention for a moment, so please ask His Majesty Hai Hong!"
"Old minister is indeed not thinking carefully!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Chu Yanwu waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, let Jiang Rongfeng speak quickly!"
Xiao Chen was actually a little nervous.
He also knew that Zhou Tianfu had many helpers in the court...
But I didn’t expect three big fish to come out at once!
It seems that the list I checked earlier was not careful enough...
However, Xiao Chen counted on his fingers and was speechless.
Counting the Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites in the prison, the Ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials, as well as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, are actually Zhou Tianfu's people.
Zhou Tianfu is very capable!
At this time, Jiang Rongfeng also slowly said: "Your Majesty..."
He looks very bad now, there are still traces of makeup on his face, and his hair is a bit messy.
However, his eyes were like fox fire in a fantasy novel, flashing with a terrifying light.
"But during this period of time, the guilty minister is indeed reflecting!"
"Many years ago, the guilty minister was also a scholar who wanted to help the world!"
"However, after entering the officialdom, the criminal found that he was indeed too naive... If he didn't want to serve someone, it would be like having his limbs cut off, and it would be difficult to move forward at all!"
His tone was very calm, but the light in his eyes was even brighter.
It was as if he said these words with the last of his strength.
Xiao Chen felt quite emotional.
When a bird is about to die, its song is mournful.
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Jiang Rongfeng probably felt really ashamed at this time!
Chu Yanwu's face was still cold, like a stone sculpture: "Tell me, what are the crimes of Zhou Tianfu and his party members!"
"I passed the imperial examination twenty-one years ago and entered the capital as an official!"
Jiang Rongfeng said slowly: "At that time, I was the most beautiful young lady of that generation, and I was considered to be very successful. I worked as an editor and editor in the Hanlin Academy for two years. In the third year, I joined Zhou Tianfu's sect!"
"Under his operation, I went to the capital Leping County to serve as the county magistrate, and the first thing he asked me to do was to sell a batch of ordnance into the grassland through Leping County!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
Jiang Rongfeng's certificate of submission is indeed very good, and reselling ordnance... It's a shame that guy Zhou Tianfu can think of it!
And this guy started twenty-one years ago.
What a courageous dog!
Chu Yanwu's face was cold: "Is there any evidence?"
Jiang Rongfeng smiled bitterly and said: "The person in charge of this batch of ordnance at that time was Huang Menlang in the palace, a general named Ma Zhicheng!"
"If I remember correctly, he died suddenly before last year, but your relatives all know about his gathering of weapons!"
"There is also detailed information in the confession. As long as your Majesty goes to investigate, you will definitely find some clues!"
Chu Yanwu's face was extremely ugly.
But the face of a general standing in the hall suddenly turned pale.
He is the commander of the Imperial Guards in the palace, and he is worshiped as a general. He is also a very powerful person in the general system.
If there really is a sale or purchase of arms.
He, the commander, cannot escape punishment, not to mention that he was actually involved in this matter.
Chu Yanwu accurately captured the changes in his expression and sneered:
"go on!"
At the same time, Chu Yanwu also whispered something to Chen Jin beside him.
Chen Jin also asked a young eunuch beside him to get down with a gloomy expression.
Everyone knows that they are probably going to catch someone!
This is only the first thing.
Then, there were a total of six embezzlements of disaster relief funds...
In the past twenty-one years, four major wars broke out between Dachu and foreign countries.
After every war, a large amount of pension funds for the soldiers in Kansai and Kansai were embezzled by them...
This is not the end.
In order to seek greater interests, Zhou Tianfu and his party members secretly manipulated the chamber of commerce in the capital and even controlled local merchants to build a huge interest network.
As for what to do...
Xiao Chen felt that he could describe it in two words, that is "hoarding and speculating".
Each of these encounters was almost a blow to the country of Dachu, which was not very strong in the first place.
Moreover, every cut is bone-deep, and every cut is dripping with blood!
Chu Yanwu's face became increasingly ugly.
Finally, even he, who was extremely thoughtful, couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily:
"Zhou Tianfu, the evidence is conclusive, what can you say?"
