Chapter 43 The right to hear and report matters
The Qin Dynasty, Dingyang Hall!
Zhou Chi walked to the center of the court, and a sense of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Crown Prince Zhou Chi, where is Zhou Tianyin's letter?" The censor Zhang Zhengdao looked at Zhou Chi.
Zhou Chi heard Zhou Tianyin mention that Wang Xiong killed Ying Sheng, but now, if he takes out that letter, wouldn’t he deliberately embarrass Wang Xiong?
Although Zhou Chi called Wang Xiong's brother-in-law, the big reason was that he felt guilty for Wang Xiong in the past. In the past, Wang Xiong and his sister were separated everywhere, but later, Wang Xiong saved himself again and again, and even more regardless of life and death. This made Zhou Chi recognize Wang Xiong and was willing to help his sister and Wang Xiong reconcile their marriage, so he called his brother-in-law.
But Zhou Chi understood that his sister seemed to have her own plans. At least when Wang Xiong went to collect Zhendongcheng that day, his sister got what she wanted. She didn't even want to wait for Wang Xiong, so she took her away.
My sister doesn’t have Wang Xiong in her heart?
The Human Emperor and the Father asked my sister to truthfully write down the story of Ying Sheng's death. Will the sister still risk lying to the Human Emperor and the Father to protect Wang Xiong?
Zhou Chi looked worried, but this worried look was so happy in the eyes of the ministers.
Because all the ministers knew that Zhou Chi had been mingling with Wang Xiong these days and had a great relationship with Wang Xiong. Zhou Chi showed concern. Isn’t it just because he was worried about the facts in the letter? Zhou Chi was worried, wasn’t it just because Wang Xiong was going to be in trouble?
"Crown Prince Zhou Chi! Where is the faith?" Zhang Zhengdao spoke again.
Zhou Chi looked ugly and looked at Wang Xiong.
"Zhou Chi, come out with the letter!" Wang Xiong also spoke.
"Yes!" Zhou Chi nodded with a complicated expression.
Soon, an envelope with a large number of runes was taken out.
"Give it to me!" Zhang Zhengdao couldn't wait.
Zhou Chi was a little reluctant.
"Give it to him! Zheng is Zheng, not everyone can turn black and white!" Wang Xiong smiled faintly.
Hearing Wang Xiong's words, Zhang Zhengdao's face looked ugly: "Wang Xiong, I hope you can still laugh later, hum!"
Zhang Zhengdao took the envelope.
"Doctor Censor, before you open the letter, you have to look at it. Is it Zhou Tianyin's letter? If not, say it as soon as possible, don't open the letter. After reading the content, you will deny it again!" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Disclaimer, you are the one who denies it, Wang Xiong. I have checked it. This letter contains the ban of the censor and a ban of the King of the South. Can you send it to others for a look?" Zhang Zhengdao said in a deep voice.
"It's best!" Wang Xiong nodded.
Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Xiong coldly, then handed the envelope out, and passed it in the hall. After everyone confirmed that the letter had not been opened, they returned to Zhang Zhengdao's hands again.
In the hall, half of the officials showed expectation. Only two showed worry, one was Zhou Chi, and the other was Princess Qinghuan.
Princess Qinghuan bit her lip with a worried look on her face.
"Sister Tianyin, you must not harm Wang Xiong!" Princess Qinghuan prayed silently.
"Bang!" "Tear!"
The envelope was untied, and Zhang Zhengdao quickly tore open the envelope and took out the internal letter written by Zhou Tianyin.
"Censor, please trouble you, how about reading out the Zhou Tianyin? Let everyone know that the name of this king is not something that can be slandered by imagination!" Wang Xiong said.
"Okay, then listen!" The Censor also spoke.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
"The Great Qin people, Zhou Tianyin, the southern royal palace, recorded the death of Ying Sheng, to tell the Emperor and the world. On the top of the Shen Tomb Mountain, Ying Sheng was watching with the heavenly eyes. At that time, Ying Sheng and Wang Xiong clashed with each other. In the end, Ying Sheng was conquered and trapped under the tiger. However, when Wang Xiong was practicing with the Shen Tomb Flower, Ying Sheng used the gravity field to escape the giant tiger, held two daggers in his hand and committed murder. One of them assassinated Princess Qinghuan, was pulled away by Wang Xiong's long whip, and the other dagger was thrown out, and then shot back at himself, into his eyebrows, and killed himself with a blade. That's all!" Zhang Zhengdao read Zhou Tianyin's letter.
When they finished reading, all the ministers and many relatives in the Ying clan all looked stiff.
Throw the dagger, shoot back, enter the eyebrows, and kill yourself? What does this mean? This means that Ying Sheng threw out a dagger and stabbed himself to death?
"This is not true. It was Wang Xiong who killed my son. It was Wang Xiong. Zhou Tianyin was protecting Wang Xiong. What she said cannot be believed, cannot be believed!" Ying Fen shouted in shock and anger.
"Zhou Tianyin deliberately protected Wang Xiong?"
"How did Zhou Tianyin write such words? How could Ying Sheng throw a dagger and stab him to death? Is this clearly a lie?"
"This is impossible. I can't believe Zhou Tianyin's words!"

Suddenly, a voice of resistance came from the hall.
But Zhou Chi exhaled inwardly, revealing a hint of excitement.
"Criminal Zhou Chi, why are you laughing at?" Zhang Zhengdao looked at Zhou Chi with anger.
"Doctor Censor, what does it have to do with me? I haven't seen Wang Xiong kill anyone, so you won't ask me to do perjury for you, right? My sister told the truth, you go find Wang Xiongbian, do you care if I smile?" Zhou Chi laughed calmly.
Not far away, Princess Qinghuan also widened her eyes: "Sister Tianyin, you're so smart!"
Because Zhou Tianyin did not lie, this was the case at that time, but it was not described why the dagger could be shot back and how did it come back? Although Princess Qinghuan also knows the reason, I can choose not to say it.
In an instant, Princess Qinghuan was inexplicably excited. In this way, Zhang Zhengdao could not use the excuse of witnessing against Wang Xiong.
"Reserved!" Su Dingfang whispered from the side.
Princess Qinghuan looked up at her father. When she saw her father's smile, she immediately understood why her father asked her to come forward. She could learn from Zhou Tianyin.
"Thank you dad!" Princess Qinghuan said happily.
Su Dingfang smiled slightly.
Princess Qinghuan and Zhou Chi were happy, but the others couldn't be happy.
This letter is obviously protecting Wang Xiong, which makes us think that we can kill Wang Xiong. Now, how will this end?
Many ministers looked even more ugly.
Because, the wording had been prepared during this period, and just waited for the case of Wang Xiong's killing of the emperor to be settled, he cooperated with Shangguan and asked the emperor to let Wang Xiong take the blame.
There are so many words that I keep in my mouth, just waiting for the evidence to confirm, and then put the blame on others, making Wang Xiong doom. Now, tell me that Ying Sheng committed suicide? What do you ask me to say?
"That letter is fake!"
"Zhou Tianyin is Wang Xiong's fiancée, and she is hiding with each other, which cannot be considered evidence!"
"It can't be counted!"

...
Many officials screamed in anger.
But Wang Xiong looked at Zhang Zhengdao with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, you just swear to affirm this person's evidence. Now, the person's evidence has been reported. You won't want to overturn the record of the person's evidence, right? How do you do with the evidence you found yourself?" Wang Xiong laughed.
When Wang Xiong heard Zhou Tianyin and Princess Qinghuan as a witness, he had already guessed the result. Although he had a backup plan, he could not use it at all at this moment.
"You!" Zhang Zhengdao's eyes were filled with anger.
"Mr. Zhang, the Emperor of Human Resources asked you to preside over this debate. Don't substitute one side. Seek truth from facts. What is the truth? Now, countless pairs of eyes are watching. As a censor, you will not be the one who is a deer or a horse, right?" Wang Xiong said coldly.
"Yes!" Princess Qinghuan looked at Wang Xiong blankly.
Zhang Zhengdao turned his head and looked at Wang Xiong: "Wang Xiong, it seems that you admitted it, you killed Ying Sheng!"
Everyone looked at Wang Xiong. It was obvious that the airflow changed the direction of the dagger. How dare Wang Xiong admit it?
"Ha, Lord Zhang, I heard that the censor can report the news. Just based on the rumors I heard, you can report to the Emperor. But, you are too inconsistent with the news? When did I admit that I killed Ying Sheng? It happened that I released my true energy in order to save Princess Qinghuan. What happened? Could there be any excuse for killing Ying Sheng at that time? "Wang Xiong sneered.
"What did you say?"
"I am saying that I am stimulating my true energy, but how can this prove that I killed Ying Sheng? Ying Sheng committed suicide, will I still stop me?" Wang Xiong sneered.
Wang Xiong described everything clearly at that time. It was Wang Xiong who killed Ying Sheng, but it gave people the feeling that why could not convict Wang Xiong?
"It's useless to argue, Wang Xiong, what you said just now is right. I have the right to report the news and there is no need to stubbornly fight you. Who else can make the dagger turn back except you? Only you, Wang Xiong. The emperor's grandson cannot commit suicide, that is to be killed by you!" Zhang Zhengdao said coldly in anger.
As soon as Zhang Zhengdao spoke, some people showed a ferocious look, while others showed a worried look.
After all, the news cannot be used as evidence. Now that it is said in a noble way, there is a kind of false charges imposed on Wang Xiong.
Zhang Zhengdao was so angry that he was not very impressed. He had a bad impression of Wang Xiong. Last time, he heard the fourth prince bewitching him. Wang Xiong killed his student Ying Sheng and injured his student Ying Dong, which made Zhang Zhengdao extremely disgusted with Wang Xiong. Not long ago, his son was thrown away by Wang Xiong again, causing Zhang Zhengdao to completely lose his former justice. Today he was to punish Wang Xiong. Wang Xiong's rebuttal just made Zhang Zhengdao even more annoying. So he said such words.
"Hahahaha, okay, good, what the right to report the news, Lord Zhang, do you know why you have this right?" Wang Xiong's eyes were cold.
"Um?"
"That is the trust of the Emperor of the Human Resources, and the privilege given to the censors. The injustice of the Great Qin can be appealed through the mouths of the Censors! The corruption of the Great Qin can be honest through the mouths of the Censors! The source of chaos of the Great Qin can be eliminated through the mouths of the Censors! The power to report on news and affairs should be used in the main places, in the public places, in the Qin and the people, rather than to satisfy your own personal selfishness!" Wang Xiong glared and shouted coldly.
"You said that I used this power to seek personal gain? Do you dare to slander me?" Zhang Zhengdao's face changed.
Although Zhang Zhengdao did not make much achievements in his life, he was righteous and upright throughout his life and never compromised with anyone, which made him firmly sit in the position of censor, but now Wang Xiong dares to slander himself.
"Slander? Haha, do you still need to slander? I ask you, before I came to Shendu, how did the people criticize me? How did the people who were telling the story in the teahouse slander? How did the gambling game in the gambling workshop arrange it? This kind of criticism and slandering not only did not disappear with time, but became more and more intense. Don't tell me, no one would add to the fire, it was spontaneous by the people?" Wang Xiong sneered.
"Me!" Zhang Zhengdao's face changed.
Zhang Zhengdao knew that it was the fourth prince and others who sent someone to promote the fire, but at that time...
"If you don't say whether you admit your identity or not, at least, the true god has already informed the world. Regardless of whether this king has been recognized by the Human Emperor or not, the identity of this king actually exists. The Great Qin vassal king has been criticized and slandered, and has become a joke that the people say after dinner. This is not what your censor should take? Don't tell me, you don't know the discussion in the God Capital for so many days? I don't know, I can point out how many gambling houses and how many teahouses to tell you!" Wang Xiong asked.
"This..." Zhang Zhengdao's face darkened.
Not long ago, I was soft-hearted, but I didn't want to be an excuse for Wang Xiong to attack him.
"The power of reporting the news? If you don't use it for the public, you will be dereliction of duty! If you use it for personal purposes, you will be ruthless! The censor? It's ridiculous, ridiculous!" Wang Xiong shouted loudly and took a step forward.
Zhang Zhengdao took three steps back in a row.
