Seeing Su Ming say this, Chu Xuanchen knew that Su Ming wanted to use the evidence of Emperor Hongyuan's crime in exchange for his trust.

Since Su Ming wanted to take advantage of him, why didn't he just use Su Ming to avenge his parents.

As for Su Ming, if he always harbors evil intentions and has other goals, he will not let him go in the future.

Thinking of this, he said coldly, "Master Su, what about the evidence?"

"The evidence is in the palace, and the prince is also invited to enter the palace first, and the minister will present the evidence after he settles down." Su Ming said.

"Okay, but before entering the palace, this king has to deal with these chaotic officials and thieves who are traitorous and greedy for life and fear of death." After speaking, Chu Xuanchen's eyes were already on Geng Tian and the others who came down from the tower. people.

As soon as Geng Tian and others walked down the tower, they heard what Su Ming and Chu Xuanchen said.

Geng Tian hurriedly said: "Your lord, calm down, the lower officials are not betraying the country and seeking glory, people who are greedy for life and fear death, the lower officials are only worried about the people, and they are afraid that Feng Lingtian will slaughter the people, so they will hand over the book of surrender."

Wang Guang also said: "Yes, lord, we are doing this to save the lives of the common people, and we also ask the lord to learn from it."

Chu Xuanchen looked at Wang Guang and said coldly, "Wang Guang, as a general defending the city, what is your duty?"

Wang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "It is to protect the family and the country, and protect the safety of Shengjing City."

"Then how did you do it?" Chu Xuanchen looked at him with extremely sharp eyes.

"The last general... the last general..." Wang Guang said, bowing his head hesitantly.

Chu Xuanchen pursed his lips coldly, "Why, can't you tell? As a general defending the city, you should protect the safety of Shengjing City, even if you sacrifice your life. What about you? If you don't come in, you just want to hand over the city gate to others, do you still have the blood of a soldier?"

Wang Guang raised his head and looked at Chu Xuanchen in embarrassment, "But my lord, Feng Lingtian said that if we don't surrender obediently, he will slaughter the city. The last general is also for the safety of the people, so he has to do this."

Chu Xuanchen sneered, "Feng Lingtian threatens you like this, so you are afraid? It is clearly because you are afraid of death, but you use the common people as an excuse. If you are not all greedy for life and afraid of death, you are all rushing to open the city gates, the enemy army can So easy to attack? If you resist with all your heart, the people will not die in vain!"

"I will be convicted at the end, please calm down your anger..." When Wang Guang heard this, he fell to the ground with a frightened plop, trembling all over his body.

"My lord, the ministers and others are also convicted." Seeing this, Geng Tian and others were so frightened that they knelt down to the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.

When Emperor Hongyuan was there before, Geng Tian never paid attention to Chu Xuanchen.

But now that Emperor Hongyuan has run away, only Chu Xuanchen has military power, and Chu Xuanchen is the biggest here.

So Geng Tian was immediately afraid of him, for fear that he would kill himself directly!

Seeing everyone confessing their guilt, Chu Xuanchen swept his eyes to them and snorted coldly, "Oh, you guys, you just gave up without even trying to resist. Are you worthy of the people of Chu country?"

Mo Li said: "We have all seen it just now. As imperial officials, each of you is servile, betraying the country and seeking glory, trying to follow Feng Lingtian and betray the state of Chu. How can people like you be the parents and officials of the common people? "

"They don't deserve it at all, they don't even deserve to carry shoes for the Zhennan Army! This time, in order to drive away the enemy, the Zhennan Army was brave and tenacious, not afraid of life and death, and sacrificed a lot of people. Only then can we win. If every soldier is like them If we are greedy for life and fear death, how can we defend the country and the people?" Mozhu said sharply.

Hearing everyone's accusations, Wang Guang and the others were busy and bowed down, fearing the tunnel: "I know I'm wrong, please let the lord calm down."

"My lord, please give us another chance, we will never dare!" Geng Tian shrank.

Geng Tian originally wanted to flee with Emperor Hongyuan, but Emperor Hongyuan didn't take him at all.

He had no choice but to resort to this, and wrote a letter of surrender with Wang Guang and others, preparing to surrender in exchange for life.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by King Li.

Chu Xuanchen glanced at everyone, looked at Su Ming again, and raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "Master Su, these officials treasoned the country in public, and even wrote a letter of surrender to Feng Lingtian. Look, what should be done?"

Su Ming glanced at everyone and said insidiously: "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is of course a capital crime of raiding a family and annihilating a family. According to the law, the nine clans should be punished."

"Ah..." When everyone heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, spare the life of the sinner, the sinner knows he is wrong!"

"My lord, please don't punish our nine clans, please forgive me." Geng Tian cried.

Several people were crying, and they had already crawled in front of Chu Xuanchen, all of them were already frightened.

Chu Xuanchen looked at them sternly, and said angrily, "You have committed treason. If this king does not punish you severely this time, there will be more people who will follow your example, so this king will never forgive you lightly!"

"No, my lord, we knew we were wrong, please forgive me, please!" Several people said, tears and snot running down.

They didn't expect that the King Li, whom they once looked down on, now has the power to kill.

Knowing this earlier, they treated him better in the beginning, and didn't follow the emperor to punish him!

At this moment, Su Ming was already staring at everyone, and said solemnly: "Enough! Don't beg here, you dare to betray the country, and punishing the nine clans will be light. If you are more long-winded, don't blame this official for being rude."

Hearing Su Ming's words, everyone was stunned and dared not speak again.
