Of course there is evidence!

Ma Yingchu's face changed suddenly.

He couldn't understand why Liu Zhou, a well-known official, became a person with unforgivable evil.

Of course, the Censorate is not a vegetarian. Although Ma Yingchu heard that there was evidence, his first thought was that Chen Zhengtai must have fabricated something out of thin air.

Therefore, Ma Yingchu just let out an inauspicious cold snorkeling from his nose.

Wen Yanbo also felt that the matter was getting serious at this time, which was related to the ability of the Censorate.

He didn't even look at Chen Zhengtai, but his eyes fell elsewhere, but said word by word: "Since there is evidence, please show it, but... if this is fabricated out of thin air and slandering him, Chen's prince consort is a royal relative, so he is not worthy of words. Just slandering the ministers is also a heinous crime. At that time, the Censorate will be forced to impeach him together!"

After these words were released, the Censorate and Chen Zhengtai were completely opposite each other.

It would be best if your evidence was useful, otherwise, the Censorate would not be polite.

Li Shimin's eyes were drooping, and no one saw his expression clearly. He only heard him say, "Where is the evidence?"

In one day, the evidence from several years ago was collected. In everyone's opinion, there was no possibility of any other than fabricating it out of thin air to slander it.

Therefore, more people looked at Wen Yanbo and Ma Yingchu with sympathy.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty, here in Erpigou, three years ago, a group of refugees from Shaanxi..."

As soon as he spoke, Wen Yanbo said coldly: "What do the refugees in Shanzhou have to do with him?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "It was precisely because of the severe drought three years ago that they had no livelihood that they migrated here."

Wen Yanbo showed a disapproving expression on his face and said, "It is common for the people to move, but I am afraid that it is too far-fetched to use this as evidence of the crime."

What happened so long? Just relying on this to blame, in Wen Yanbo's opinion, is just Chen Zhengtai deliberately trying to destroy the Censorate.

Chen Zhengtai said: "I have a certificate here."

"Personal evidence?" Wen Yanbo raised his eyes: "Who is it?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Please invite Zhang Lishi to come into the hall."

The officials in the palace still don’t have too many expressions.

They have seen more such criticisms in the court.

In their opinion, it was just a bite between each other.

And there are hundreds of people in the Censorate? No censor can easily provoke him? After all, they are known for catching the wind and shadows, being able to speak and being good at speaking.

What Chen Zhengtai calls the evidence of guilt? I am afraid that it can be overturned in a flash.

So everyone kept silent and wanted to see what Chen Zhengtai's personal certificate was?

Zhang Qian hurried out of the hall? Then he led a man in.

This person looked very handsome.

An ordinary dress? His short dress obviously looked from a workshop? His face was a little sallow? But his skin was like an old elm bark, full of wrinkles? His eyes were not very radiant. He looked around in panic.

Waiting for him to come in? Everyone looked at the person in wonder.

People like this... Actually, everyone has seen so many people.

Most people in this court would not easily raise their eyes and take a look.

Li Shimin was also strange? What was the so-called evidence of Chen Zhengtai, but when he saw this person come in, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Wen Yanbo immediately said sternly: "Your Majesty, is this what Chen Zhengtai calls a witness? An ordinary civilian..."

His words scared the old craftsman, and his face turned pale and became even more frightened.

Chen Zhengtai had already stepped forward, ignored Wen Yanbo, and said to the old craftsman: "This is the Emperor's Hall, Your Majesty is here, you don't have to panic, I'll ask you..."

The old craftsman nodded in a hurry. He seemed ashamed and even felt that his clothes would stain the floor tiles in the hall, so he would not dare to kneel down, and he would not stand well, and he looked at a loss.

Chen Zhengtai asked, "Who are you?"

The old craftsman said, "I... my name is Liu Jiu."

"Enough!" Wen Yanbo roared: "Chen Zhengtai, what's the point of bringing such a person to Tai Chi Hall?"

The ministers couldn't help but start whispering to each other again, and for a moment, there was a little noisy in the hall.

Li Shimin comforted the case and said coldly: "Let Chen Zhengtai ask."

Wen Yanbo stopped talking.

So Chen Zhengtai continued to ask, "Liu Jiu, where are you from?"

"I...I am from Shanzhou."

"Shanzhou? When did you come to the capital?"

Liu Jiudao: "Three years ago, July..."

Chen Zhengtai continued to ask: "Why did you come to Beijing?"

"I..." Liu Jiu seemed uneasy, but fortunately, Chen Zhengtai kept asking him, so he said without hesitation: "There is a severe drought, and I can't survive in the countryside."

"Can't survive?" Chen Zhengtai said: "But I heard that the severe drought in Shanzhou is mild and insignificant."

When Liu Jiu heard Chen Zhengtai’s rebuttal, he was suddenly panicked and said: “No... I dare not hide it from it. It’s really... it’s really a severe drought…”

Chen Zhengtai sneered: "But what you said is very different from what the Shanzhou Observer and the Censorate reported."

"This..." Liu Jiu became even more panicked: "I, I dare not lie..."

The hall was silent, and the ministers all looked cold.

This is unprecedented. In everyone's opinion, Chen Zhengtai's move is quite suspicious of being sensational.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai continued: "In this way, is there really a severe drought in Shaanxi?"

"Is this fake?" Liu Jiu seemed to be eager to explain, and hurriedly continued: "I... I escaped at that time... That year, the crops nearby had no harvest, and the grains were eaten up long ago. Without the grain, many thieves emerged in the mountains. The world suddenly became difficult and dangerous. At that time, the whole village had to escape from famine... People were unwilling to leave their hometowns unless they had no choice, but there was no way. If they didn't escape, it was just a word of death. I... I escaped at that time, dozens of people in the village followed him.

I walked along the famine team, and there was nothing to eat. Along the way, there were people who were starving to death. Some were hungry, their eyes were yellow, and they even ate the soil in the field, so they swelled up and died. Along the way... there was no food at all. When we arrived at the county and prefecture cities, the gates in the city had been closed for a long time and we were not allowed to go in. They said that they wanted to guard against clumsies. We had no way, and some were still hiding under the city wall. I hope that the officials in the city would be merciful. Some people could not bear it and continued to flee the famine."

Speaking of this, Liu Jiu's voice was low and he said in a daze: "I'm lucky. I met a noble man along the way. Finally, I left Shanzhou, and then went all the way to Erpigou, and settled down..."

Hearing this, Wen Yanbo, Ma Yingchu and others just sneered.

The ministers looked unanimous.

Wen Yanbo stepped forward and looked at Liu Jiu with a sneer: "I heard you say this, the drought in Shanzhou has reached a very serious point, and many people have died, right? Boldly, you, a troublemaker, are instigated by others, so you said this! What you said has no evidence. You said that many people died, but it is just your own words. You said that many people have died. So I will ask you, which one died, and what is the name of the dead?"

He asked harshly, thinking it was enough to scare Liu Jiu.

Such a troublemaker was already frightened when he came to such a place. No matter what Chen Zhengtai instigated him before, but this person had no knowledge and was scared, he would no longer dare to talk nonsense.

But who knows...

Liu Jiu's expression began to become strange from the beginning when he was trembling and panic.

His face was still timid, but this timidity slowly began to change. Then, his face slowly began to twist, and then... the eyes raised, and the eyes that were originally muddy and unsightly had a sudden enlightenment. The eyes flowed through them... were unconcealable anger.

Wen Yanbo was actually a little scared by this look. He subconsciously took a step back and took a breath, saying in his heart, what's going on, this person...

I saw that tears suddenly began to flow out of Liu Jiu's eyes, and tears poured out.

Liu Jiu gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted hysterically: "Do you want evidence? Okay, I will tell you the evidence. My Liu Jiu family is thirteen, my parents, my uncle, my two brothers, my wife, my two daughters and a son, are all dead on the way to fleeing famine! They are all dead!"

Liu Jiu was as angry as a lion and stared at Wen Yanbo viciously.

Wen Yanbo's body shook when he heard this, and he couldn't help but take another step back. He was a little panicked. He could not imagine that a very ordinary villain would make him panic.

Liu Jiu seemed to be about to bite his teeth, his eyes were covered with blood. He still stared at Wen Yanbo and continued to roar: "They... were all starved to death, they were starved to death, and they really had no food. My daughter was only four years old at that time and had no food, so even the dandruff on the tree was gone. She cried and cried until she lost her strength, and she died. My wife kept thinking about it, she was about to arrive, and when she arrived in the city, she had food to eat! But who would have thought that when she arrived in the city, she would have even the city.

I can't get in. There were countless people gathered there, everyone was crying, and someone wanted to get close to the city tower, so he was shot back by the archer on the city with an arrow. My wife knew that there was no way to go, so she talked to herself like crazy. Later, she fell on the side of the road and could never stand up again. What evidence do you have? Let me tell you that my family is all evidence, and only I survived with thirteen people. If I hadn't come to Erpigou, our Liu family would have lost all the bloodlines."

Speaking of this, Liu Jiu thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago, and seemed to think of his daughter lying in his arms and crying. Until the afternoon when he was silent, tears fell down like broken beads. He was already choked and unable to speak. He just said vaguely: "They are all dead, all dead, and they fall on the side of the road... I... I want to stay. I really want to stay, but I still have to continue walking. Staying behind, that is, I die. When my daughter dies, I just want to... I have my wife, son, and my mother... I'll come again

Later, my mother starved to death. She ate the dirt and her stomach was so bloated that she could not bear it. She rolled on the ground in pain. She kept saying, "Go away quickly, go away quickly, take the wife and her son out to live. I knew that my mother was not saved, so I continued to walk, go and go, and then die the woman. Then my son died. After that, my son disappeared. Among a group of refugees, you sleep and your son disappeared. They all said that it must have been stolen. Someone was very hungry and wanted to steal the child. My son has not seen him again so far. Do you know... do you know... where he is?"

Liu Jiu raised his head and looked at Wen Yanbo tightly.

Wen Yanboton felt creepy. His face was terrible. He seemed to have never thought of such a terrifying thing. He retreated repeatedly. For a moment, he was so arrogant that he dared not come out.

The ministers suddenly became extremely awe-inspiring. People lowered their eyes and held their breath at this time.

Every word Liu Jiu is like a thorn, which sounds terrifying, but it also makes people realize something.

At this moment, Liu Jiu slapped himself in the face, so crisp that everyone in the hall could hear it very clearly. Then he heard him say, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die long ago, why don't I die..."

Then he slapped one by one, causing blood marks to stain his face.

But no one stepped forward to stop him.

Li Shimin sat high in the hall, and his heart was already heartbroken.

Wen Yanbo wanted to ask something and find a loophole, but his shivering lips were trembling and his body was trembling slightly, but he couldn't spit out a word for a moment.

On the other side, Ma Yingchu was obviously not willing to give up and said unconfidently: "This... is a word for family..."

Chen Zhengtai glared at him furiously and said, "It's not just a family? The Censor Ma thought that the only one who came from Shanzhou to escape from the famine was Liu Jiu. There were so many people starving to death in Shanzhou, but... the sky finally had eyes. It would always leave some people behind, maybe... what we are waiting for today..."

Chen Zhengtai said, taking out a stack of memorials from his sleeve, and then said seriously to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this is the one who was in Chang'an who was urgently searching for the people of Shanzhou in Chang'an yesterday. The things here are their oral statements, and their signatures and seals are all the things they saw in Shanzhou. These memorials have clearly recorded what happened three years ago. Of course... there are still people who are unwilling to believe it. This is not a problem. If you don't believe it, please ask the Department of Justice to invite all these oral people to go there immediately. This is not one person or two, but dozens or hundreds of people. Liu Jiu is definitely not just one family, hundreds of people like him... Please take a look at it."

Chen Zhengtai said, sending the stack of memorials to the little eunuch. The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to take the memorials. The little eunuch seemed to be frightened by Liu Jiu and took the memorials to the hall with trembling trembling.

At this time... Wen Yanbo and Ma Yingchu were already pale and their faces were suddenly realized... it seemed... it was going to be finished.
Chapter completed!
