King Zhao couldn't believe it and looked at the person who was talking.

The first one he looked at was Li Jian standing in front of him.

King Zhao's expression instantly became gloomy and his tone was extremely unkind.

"Li Jian, what do you mean?"

Among the ministers who opposed it, there were important officials of Zhao State like Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, but they had to pick the persimmons and were the first person to question. Of course, Li Jian, the person with the lowest official position and title.

Li Jian walked forward and repeated very sincerely.

"The king, I think Du Pingjun is innocent."

King Zhao said coldly:

"What evidence do you have?"

Li Jiandao:

"As the Handan Order, I have also participated in this investigation throughout the process."

"In my opinion, Doctor Lou Chang's evidence is not enough to prove that Du Pingjun is the mastermind behind the rumors."

Lou Chang finally couldn't help but retorted:

"You are talking nonsense! I was the only one who led Guo Kai and several Handan yamen runners to investigate during the entire investigation. What happened to you, Li Jian?"

"You are clearly ignoring the king's orders and dereliction of duty!"

Li Jian laughed and said to Lou Chang:

"Who said that Handan Government Office must obey the orders of your candid Lou Chang?"

"Since I have accepted the order of the king, it is reasonable to mobilize the power of Handan Government to investigate on its own, right?"

Lou Chang said angrily:

"You are forcibly making Tian Dan arguing! Either take out the evidence or shut up!"

Li Jian smiled and spread his hands:

"Everyone knows that there are some grudges between me and Du Pingjun."

"I'm not right, Du Pingjun is already considered to have done his best to do anything, so how could he forcefully act Du Pingjun to defend himself?"

"The real fact is that Lou Chang's so-called evidence is nothing more than testimony from the storm of the wind and shadows, and forced confession through interrogation."

"As far as I know, the first rumor spreader in your mouth, Tatsudo, had died many days ago."

"How could a dead person be the spreader of rumors?"

King Zhao was surprised and looked at Lou Chang:

"What's going on?"

Lou Chang's face turned pale slightly and raised his tone:

"Tandu didn't die many days ago. It was only two days after the banquet where the rumors spread that he had inexplicably fell ill and died."

"This is obviously some people are deliberately killing people to silence them!"

"Li Jian, no matter how much you argue, you can't change this fact."

Li Jian shook his head and said:

"Well, it's such a coincidence. The so-called evidence is tortured. The truly valuable witness, Tian Du, also happened to die without evidence."

"Doctor Louchang, I don't know whose order you were on false accusing Du Pingjun."

"But what I want to tell you is that if frames like you can work in Da Zhao, who will dare to become an official in Da Zhao political arena in the future?"

When he said this, even King Zhao's expression changed.

At this moment, Lin Xiangru spoke without hesitation.

"The king, Du Pingjun is the Great Zhao Xiangbang. He should not slander the king in terms of emotion or reason. Doctor Lou Chang's accusations are not consistent with common sense."

"This matter is of great importance, and it still requires a more detailed investigation and only after obtaining the truth can you make a decision."

Lian Po immediately followed:

"That's the truth, the king. Even the real prisoner was not caught. It would be too much to be punished by just a few listeners' confessions. The old minister felt it was not good."

Two or three important officials spoke one after another, all expressing their doubts about Lou Chang's words.

The mentality of these important officials is actually similar.

Everyone is a human spirit, and you can feel that behind Lou Chang is the secret support of King Zhao.

Originally, if Lou Chang had a smooth journey, everyone would have to pinch their noses and recognize them.

After all, he is the king, and the ministers can't do anything they want.

But now Lou Chang's momentum has been significantly frustrated, and the important officials of Zhao State must teach Lou Chang a lesson.

In other words, give King Zhao a lesson to Lou Chang.

All the emperor and ministers understand.

The king takes power and wants to change new people.

However, you can't treat us important officials as toys at will, and just find a reason to replace them.

Today is Tian Dan, will I be other important officials tomorrow?

This almost humiliating replacement is unbearable for the important officials.

They are all shameless people!

King Zhao looked at this scene and his face became even more ugly.

The situation that King Zhao was most worried about before the incident happened.

The opposition from the important officials made King Zhao feel that things suddenly became extremely difficult and the original plan could not be implemented.

King Zhao knew very well that Lou Chang's evidence was really insufficient.

King Zhao didn't need much conclusive evidence at first, just bringing the false suspicion to Tian Shan.

Now, this loophole has become the biggest obstacle for King Zhao to advance this matter.

what to do?

Just when King Zhao was at a loss, Pingyuan Jun's voice suddenly rang.

"King, the old minister has an idea."

King Zhao turned his head to look at Pingyuan Jun, and hope rose in his heart.

Pingyuan Jun is not only the uncle of King Zhao, but also the important minister of Zhao who likes Tian Dan’s fall the most. It is impossible for him to come forward to help Tian Dan, right?

King Zhao hurriedly said:

"But it's okay to say it's okay."

Pingyuan Jundao:

"The old minister also thinks that this matter is indeed important. I am afraid that it will not be able to rely solely on Doctor Lou Chang and Handan Government to investigate this matter."

"It's better to hand over this matter to ministers and others. Let old ministers, Pingyangjun, and Lin Qing form an investigation team and lead some capable officials to thoroughly investigate the matter."

"I wonder what the king intended?"

After hearing this, hope suddenly emerged in King Zhao's heart.

Lou Chang's investigation has basically failed now.

If the investigation task is handed over to Pingyuanjun, with Pingyuanjun's attitude towards Tian Dan, as long as he promises the position of the next prime minister to Pingyuanjun, would he be afraid that Pingyuanjun will not punish Tian Dan to death?

Thinking of this, King Zhao suddenly became happy and said:

"Pingyuan Jun's words are still very reasonable. I think that's what I do!"

At this moment, another voice sounded.

"King, the truth is actually right in front of you. Why do you have to worry so much that you can do something about it? Let the Lord investigate and run around again?"

King Zhao was stunned and looked at the person who was talking.

Li Jian.

Everyone also looked at Li Jian, with confusion and confusion in their expressions.

Pingyuan Jun couldn't help but say:

"Doctor Li Jian, you have investigated the truth?"

Li Jian nodded with a smile:

“That’s exactly that.”

King Zhao was shocked and said:

"Then tell me, what is the truth!"
