Once Chen Siwen started talking, the frustration he had been holding in his heart for the past thirty years finally came out.
He continued to tell everything about that year.
Fortunately, Chen Mu's conspiracy did not completely succeed.
It happened that Chen Siwen was far away at the border at that time and could not return to the capital in time.
Fortunately, it didn't come into the sight of Chen Mu and others.
After he learned about this, he knew that Chen Mu's group would definitely kill them all.
In order to save his own life and to expose Chen Mu's crimes, Chen Siwen decided to take action.
He secretly sneaked into Dali Temple, copied the original files, and then found an excuse to petition to resign and go into seclusion.
He knew that only by staying away from right and wrong could he have a chance to make the truth known to the public.
As a result, Chen Siwen disappeared from everyone's sight with the files and began a life of seclusion for more than thirty years.
Over the past thirty years, Chen Siwen continued to collect evidence and investigate Chen Mu's crimes.
And Chen Mu's faction did not give up chasing him, trying to bury this period of history in darkness forever.
However, fate is always good at playing tricks on people.
Thirty years later, Chen Siwen finally found the opportunity to reveal the truth...
Having said this, Chen Siwen looked at Su Ye, his eyes full of trust and hope.
Rao is as calm as Su Ye, but he can't help but be moved when faced with such sincere and abundant emotions.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Mr. Chen, your bravery and persistence are admirable. With your help, I am more confident that we will be able to uncover the truth and seek justice for those who have been wronged."
Chen Siwen smiled, and the vicissitudes of life between his wrinkles became more profound.
He knew that this was the most important thing for the rest of his life, and it was also the fire that never went out in his heart.
Su Ye turned over the file in his hand and complained word by word, with tears in his eyes, about the crimes of that year.
The level of detail in the dossier, as long as there is sufficient evidence to support it, is enough to turn the case over!
Su Ye had some concerns, so he solemnly said:
"Mr. Chen, if you were asked to recount the case in court, would you be able to do it?"
Chen Siwen nodded without hesitation, with a firm light shining in his eyes:
"Prime Minister Su, as long as I can seek justice for those who have been wronged, I, Chen Siwen, will not hesitate to be shattered into pieces."
When Su Ye heard this, he took a deep look at Chen Siwen and was filled with emotion:
"Mr. Chen, your righteous deed is admirable. With you testifying in court, you will definitely attract the attention of Her Majesty the Empress and overturn the case of the Minister of Rites."
Later, Su Ye asked Chen Siwen in detail about the details of the case in order to formulate the most complete strategy.
Chen Siwen answered one by one and told Su Ye what he saw and heard without reservation.
A few days later, Su Ye took Chen Siwen to Beijing, preparing to overturn the case of the Minister of Rites in the court.
At this time, the news that Su Ye had found the key witness had spread throughout the court and outside.
Everyone is speculating on what kind of turn this mysterious figure can bring to this old case.
Chen Muze was furious again in his mansion:
"What on earth did you do back then! You actually let a fish slip through the net!"
All the confidants were kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Chen Mu's eyes were as bright as fire, staring at them as if he wanted to devour them.
"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"
one of the confidants asked cautiously.
Chen Mu clenched his fists, a trace of evil flashed in his eyes:
"Now that he has come out, let him pay the price!"
The next day.
Above the court, the empress Yan Lichu personally presided over the ceremony.
Su Ye stood up and reported:
"Your Majesty, I have found the key witness in the case of the Minister of Rites."
Yan Lichu glanced at Su Ye sharply, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face:
"Oh? Any witnesses?"
Su Ye straightened his back and spoke loudly:
"Your Majesty, this person is Chen Siwen, the only official from the Ministry of Rites who was not implicated when the incident occurred."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.
Su Ye turned a blind eye and introduced Chen Siwen into the palace.
Chen Siwen straightened his back, his eyes were as bright as fire, and he showed no fear when facing the empress.
"Your Majesty, I am the former Minister of Rites, and I am here to expose the man behind the scenes - Assistant Minister Chen Mu!"
In the court room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
This person is impeaching Chen Mu, the assistant minister who has dominated the world for many years!
Chen Siwen ignored the looks around him.
He stood in the court hall and told everything he saw and heard. Every word was shocking.
Yan Lichu listened quietly to Chen Siwen's statement, the expression on his face gradually became solemn.
She glanced at Chen Mu, the assistant minister below, and saw that his face was gloomy and uncertain, and it was obvious that he was extremely uneasy.
But Su Ye knew that Chen Mu would never give up easily and would definitely jump over the wall in an attempt to save the defeat.
Sure enough, after Chen Siwen finished his statement.
Chen Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly stood up and retorted loudly:
"Your Majesty, Chen Siwen's testimony is not credible."
After saying that, he bit back:
"The files back then have already concluded that Chen Siwen is the biggest lackey who accepted bribes under the Minister of Rites!"
After speaking, he took out a thick account book and the testimony of Chen Siwen's friend Zhao Zhixin.
Chen Siwen was mentally prepared to be slandered. After all, this was a method Chen Mu had used countless times.
But he never expected that Chen Mu would have Zhao Zhixin's slander in his hands.
That's his best friend!
He quickly stepped forward and snatched the testimony from Chen Mu's hand.
But he was surprised to find that this was his friend's handwriting, and even had his most familiar autograph!
Su Ye saw that something was wrong with Chen Siwen and immediately reminded him in a low voice:
"Mr. Chen, don't be distracted by this fake slander."
But Chen Siwen had lived in seclusion in the mountain village for too long, and he had not had enough food or clothing to keep him warm all year round.
At this time, under the stimulation, he couldn't argue, and he was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
His vision went dark, and he fainted and fell to the ground.
The atmosphere in the court hall was extremely tense for a moment.
Chen Siwen's sudden collapse caused an emergency reversal of the situation.
Seeing the confident and confident Chen Mu, the balance in the hearts of the ministers gradually shifted.
Could it be that, as Chen Mu said, Chen Siwen was a bribe-taker who came to slander important officials of the imperial court?
Yan Lichu spoke at the right time:
"Take the witness down now and try again at another date."
Soon a guard came in and took Chen Siwen down who fainted.
Chen Mu felt that he was out of trouble, turned around and looked at Su Ye proudly:
"Prime Minister Su, you brought this corrupt person here to spout blood, are you also accepting his benefits?"
Su Ye looked at the clown in front of him and said nothing.
Chen Siwen was just in a fit of rage, but the most critical dossier had not yet been exposed.
Su Ye sneered:
"Master Chen, it's too early to speak."
Seeing that he failed to scare Su Ye, Chen Mu's expression changed and he glared angrily:
"you!"
Yan Lichu looked at the quarrel between the two and rubbed his temples with a headache:
"Accepting benefits is not something you can accuse casually. Lord Chen, be careful when speaking."
Chen Mu saluted to the empress unwillingly, and then withdrew.
He firmly believed that today, he had achieved a complete victory.
Yan Lichu looked at the tense atmosphere in the court and changed his subject:
"What do you think of the battle between Qi and Chu?"
