Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 616: Chapter 252: Wang Wan Falls! Zhao Feng Receives His Title! Bestowed as Martial Lord!

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Zhao Feng did not hesitate and shouted toward the outside of the hall: ”Zhang Ming.”

The two words were called out beyond the main hall.

”Yes.”

Zhang Ming responded loudly.

In a short while.

Several trusted aides carried a wooden box into the main hall.

At that moment, Wang Wan felt a bit panicked.

”Could it be that he really has evidence?”

The sense of unease in Wang Wan’s heart grew increasingly.

From start to finish, Zhao Feng remained very calm, as if he had already gotten the better of him.

”Senior General.”

”It has been brought over,” Zhang Ming said respectfully.

”Stand down.”

Zhao Feng waved his hand.

”Yes.”

Zhang Ming immediately led the trusted aides to leave.

And Zhao Feng then looked at Ying Zheng with a bow: ”May I trouble the Great King to have the Imperial Censor verify it.”

Ying Zheng did not hesitate either and said with authority: ”Imperial Censor.”

”Your subject is here.”

Feng Jie stepped forward.

”Verify it.”

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

”Your subject obeys the command.”

Feng Jie walked over and then gave a signal to the imperial censors under his command.

Feng Jie and several imperial censors approached the box.

They opened it directly.

Inside were many bamboo slips.

Feng Jie personally opened one, and upon seeing the content, his brow furrowed unconsciously.

The other imperial censors also picked them up one by one, each frowning deeply.

Then.

One bamboo slip after another was taken out and reviewed by them.

Wang Wan’s sense of unease grew even stronger.

The eyes of the entire civil and military assembly also fell on Feng Jie.

Everyone knew.

Feng Jie, as the Imperial Censor, had the responsibility of monitoring the officials and was always fair and just.

Now these bamboo slips were continuously scrutinized by him, which showed their authenticity.

After a good while.

Feng Jie put down the bamboo slips and bowed to Ying Zheng: ”Great King, from my review, the evidence presented by the Senior General is genuine.”

Upon these words falling.

It was like thunder striking.

The court was in an uproar.

Wang Wan’s face turned deathly pale.

Those ministers who had just supported Wang Wan stood outside, finding it uneasy to retreat or to stand, feeling extremely embarrassed and anxious.

Ying Zheng’s face turned cold, and his eyes sharpened: ”The Senior General’s impeachment is true?”

Ying Zheng asked coldly.

”Replying to the Great King.”

”It’s true.”

”These accounts, these details, these pieces of evidence, in my view, are true.”

”And the Senior General has already captured witnesses who are also members of Prime Minister Wang’s faction,” Feng Jie responded respectfully.

Upon receiving this confirmation.

Wang Wan was completely panicked, trembling all over, his original confidence and reliance vanished.

”Father King.”

”This matter requires careful consideration.”

”In my view, isn’t there some injustice involved here?” Fusu couldn’t stand by any longer and immediately stepped forward to plead for Wang Wan.

”Feng Jie.”

”How many charges do these pieces of evidence involve?”

”How many people are implicated?” Ying Zheng paid no attention to Fusu and looked at Feng Jie to ask.

”Replying to the Great King.”

”The four charges mentioned by the Senior General are all included.”

”More than twenty people are implicated in the court.”

”Primarily regarding the sale of government slaves and land encroachment.”

”In addition, there is smuggling for profit with other countries related to the manufacturing of copper and iron, as well as the sale of provisions.”

”As for nepotism, quite a few people from Prime Minister Wang’s entire clan hold official positions throughout Qin, and they were involved in many incidents.”

Feng Jie said loudly.

Upon receiving Feng Jie’s thorough affirmation.

Wang Wan couldn’t hold up any longer.

He directly collapsed to his knees.

The ministers who had connections with Wang Wan also panicked at this moment.

”Great King.”

”I believe that these so-called pieces of evidence need to be carefully verified.” Huai Zhuang immediately stepped forward and said.

Until now.

He still harbored some hope.

”Reporting to the Great King.”

”In addition to the evidence.”

”I also had some of Prime Minister Wang’s subordinates apprehended, along with seven individuals he intended to silence.”

”These people can all testify and are ready to be tried in the Tingwei court at any time.”

”Even Prime Minister Wang’s son is among them. Many of these actions were done under his orders,” Zhao Feng stepped forward immediately to strike another blow at Wang Wan.

And Li Si also immediately cooperated, directly stepping forward: ”Tingwei is willing to take this case.”

How could Li Si miss such a great opportunity to kick someone when they’re down?

All along.

Li Si’s greatest desire was to bring Wang Wan down.

After all, they were opponents.

Now that Zhao Feng had presented the knife, he would be a fool not to take it.

It can be said.

As long as Wang Wan fell into his hands, let alone guilt already assigned, even if there was no evidence of guilt, Li Si would create it.

Such was the non-stop hostile situation between them.

Ying Zheng did not speak but instead let his gaze fall on Wang Wan, cold and with a hint of contempt.

”Are you not prepared to give me an explanation?” Ying Zheng asked coldly.

”This old minister is guilty.”

”Everything is confessed by this old minister; everything was done by this old minister alone, and has nothing to do with my son. I implore the Great King, considering this old minister’s decades of loyalty to Qin, do not implicate the entire clan.”

Wang Wan knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.

Apparently.

Faced with evidence.

Faced with the seven people Zhao Feng mentioned.

Wang Wan was entirely certain that Zhao Feng had indeed caught his incriminating evidence.

”Prime Minister Wang.”

”Did you really do this?”

Fusu looked toward Wang Wan, an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

”Appearing all proper and dignified, but in truth, hypocritical, like thieves in the guise of gentry.”

”That describes people like Wang Wan.”

Zhao Feng snorted coldly.

With this evidence, and in front of the entire court, even if Wang Wan is the Prime Minister.

Even if his rank is the highest among officials, the head of civil officials.

He is done for.

After all, the one impeaching him is today’s leading military official, the Senior General of Qin.

Upon hearing Zhao Feng’s words.

No one in the main hall dared to refute.

This box of evidence had already been confirmed by Imperial Censor Feng Jie, showing its thoroughness.

”This fellow, he actually managed to pull it off.”
