Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 99
"The person involved in the case is a high-ranking person, and I dare not make my own claims. I am here to ask for an order to investigate this case." After Gu Changci finished speaking, he raised the thick file in his hand above his head, "This is the file of this case, please Your Majesty Take a look."

With a look from the emperor, Ruijing stepped forward and took the file.

When he saw the name on the dossier, the emperor was stunned, his dark eyes made people shudder, "Gu Changci, do you know that to accuse the imperial court officials, all evidence must be provided!"

As soon as these words came out, nine out of ten people in the hall were beating their hearts.

The people present were not only officials ordered by the imperial court, but also all of them were of high authority.What's more, if you are an official in the court, how many clean ones are there?According to what Gu Changci meant, it was precisely because the other party was so powerful that he couldn't move that he sued the emperor.

With this thought, everyone panicked even more.

The only ones who were indifferent to this were Mo Zhanhua and Feng Xiang.Prime Minister Feng is clean and honest, and everyone in the court knows it, but Mo Zhanhua, he doesn't bother to use such despicable means to obtain benefits.

Feng Qingyao picked up the tea as if nothing had happened, and took a small sip.

Gu Changci was not invited by her, but she arranged for someone to attract Jing Zhaoyin, and ordered someone to expand the incident, which finally made Jing Zhaoyin unable to close the case, so the case was transferred to Dali Temple.

This Mr. Gu really deserves his reputation!

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law." Gu Changci argued with reason.

"Lord Gu, if the evidence is insufficient, you should go back and verify the evidence before coming back." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who is over fifty years old, kindly suggested.

"Since I dare to come before the emperor to ask for an order, it is natural that I have real evidence!" Gu Changci's words were convincing, and he did not pay attention to the minister of the Ministry of punishment. Is the ghost looking for you in the middle of the night?"

"You—" Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was so choked that his face turned blue and red, and after a long while, he replied: "You slandered me, do you have evidence?"

"If there is evidence, can my lord still sit here safely?" Gu Changci scolded.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment blushed so hard that he couldn't say a word.

"Is it noisy enough?" After this quarrel, no one can make him quiet!The emperor threw the dossier on the table angrily, "Ling Wucheng, someone accused you of colluding with local officials and harming the people, is there such a thing?"

Ling Wucheng was terrified.

He got up from his seat, and knelt down to the center of the hall with a plop, "The emperor clearly observed that I have been recuperating at home since returning from the western region, and I have never left the house. Not to mention colluding with local officials, I don't know any local officials at all." ah!"

"Gu Changci, do you have something to say?" the emperor asked again.

"Yes." Gu Changci turned his head unhurriedly, staring at Ling Wucheng with condensed eyes, "Does Master Ling recognize Linghu?"

Hearing the word Linghu, Ling Wucheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he stammered, "I don't know."

Gu Changci's unchanging face unexpectedly showed a mocking expression, and he murmured: "Young General Ling is such a noble man who forgets things so much, he doesn't even remember his housekeeper."

"There are so many family members in the Ling residence, how can we remember them?" Ling Wucheng retorted.

"It doesn't matter. I believe that Master Ling will remember sooner or later." After finishing speaking, he turned to the emperor and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Ling Hu is the steward of the Ling Mansion. Ling Wucheng colluded with local officials and bought and sold officials." It was Linghu who negotiated with a middle-aged man named Cheng Kun. Two days ago, Jing Zhaoyin found Cheng Kun's body in a deserted garden, and the garden that abandoned Cheng Kun belonged to Linghu."

After a pause, he continued: "Cheng Kun's body is full of scars, and the fatal wound was a knife on his chest. I compared it, and that knife was stabbed by the dagger that Linghu carried with him."

"You just made up all of this, right?" Ling Wucheng roared.

"Whether it's true or not, I will find out the truth." Gu Changci took out a scroll from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor, "It records in detail the list of people who have bought officials through the Ling Mansion over the years. Please have a look. .”

Ling Wucheng's body went limp and he collapsed on the ground.
