Chapter 471
Seeing Tang Yin standing on the car, the people stopped throwing debris for fear of accidentally hurting him, and looked up at Tang Yin intently.
Tang Yin said: "Zhong Tian's crime is unforgivable, and he is hated by both humans and gods. I understand everyone's feelings, but now is not the time to kill him. We must first investigate Zhong Tian's various crimes and announce them to the world, and then we can severely punish this thief and give justice to Fengguo and all Feng people!" "Your Excellency is wise!" "Your Excellency is wise?" As Tang Yin eliminated the two brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi in one fell swoop, and captured the traitor Zhong Tian alive, his status in the hearts of the people was already very high. Now no matter what he said, the people would listen, which can be said to be a call for a hundred responses. As soon as he finished speaking, the people began to shout in unison, and then the crowds of people bowed down and knelt down. Many people were looking at Tang Yin with worshipful eyes.
Wu Yu, Liang Xing, Ziyang Haochun and other ministers on the side saw it clearly. Regardless of whether they supported Tang Yin or not, they all sighed in the center at this time. It can be said that Tang Yin's capture of Zhong Tian has greatly improved his status in the hearts of the people, even surpassing Wu Yu, Liang Xing, Ziyang Haochun, the three traditional dignitaries.
It seems that Tang Yin's road to becoming king is unstoppable! Wu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, but soon he was relieved. It is better for Tang Yin to become king than others. After all, Tang Yin started his career with the Wu family and has a relationship with Wu Mei. After he becomes the King of Wind, it will only benefit the Wu family.
Wu Yu has something to rely on, while Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun frowned secretly. In their opinion, once Tang Yin becomes king, it means that the prosperity of their family will end. No matter who becomes king, Tang Yin must not be allowed. The two people thought the same thing in their hearts, and their palms clenched into fists.
There were many people gathered outside the city, and even more people inside the city. The streets were so crowded that only a narrow passage was left, with people on both sides. When the Feng Army led by Tang Yin entered the city, cheers were heard one after another, and red petals fluttered in the sky, dancing in the wind, as if red rain was falling from the sky. The scene was both spectacular and beautiful.
It had been a long time since the lifeless Yancheng had been so lively. Even in broad daylight, every household was decorated with lights and laughter, as if it was a festival, and the atmosphere of joy filled the whole city.
Tang Yin arranged for the secret arrows to cooperate with the Feng Army to escort Zhong Tian to the prison. He himself was invited by Wu Yu to go to the Xiangfu, and the ministers in the court naturally followed him. After arriving at the Xiangfu, Wu Yu wanted to let Tang Yin take the upper seat, but the latter waved his hands repeatedly and took the initiative to sit down next to him, letting Wu Yu sit in the middle.
Wu Yu was very pleased with Tang Yin's humility, and his face was also very glorious. He and other ministers gave way to each other, and everyone sat down one after another. Although Tang Yin was sitting in the position of the assistant, he had the most people standing behind him, and none of them was mediocre. The civil officials included Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan, Shangguan Yuanji, and the military officials included Shangguan Yuanrang, Zhan Hu, Jiang Fan, and the generals of the four armies of Pingyuan, Sanshui, Chifeng, and Tianying. The civil officials were elegant, and the military generals were majestic. They stood on each side, full of energy and momentum. Just standing there silently gave people an invisible pressure.
Guided by Wu Yu, Tang Yin exchanged greetings with many ministers for a while. After two cups of tea, Wu Yu got to the point. He first laughed and said to Tang Yin: "This time, Lord Tang led the army to the expedition. Xiao Mei and Xiao Ying must have caused Lord Tang a lot of trouble, right?!" Now Wu Mei and Wu Ying no longer have official positions. In such occasions, it is not easy for them to show up. However, although the two sisters were not in the hall, they were eavesdropping and watching at the door. After hearing their father's words, they immediately cast their eyes on the smiling Tang Yin.
Tang Yin didn't look outside the door, but he didn't ignore the two little heads squeezed at the door. He smiled calmly, cupped his hands and said: "Wu Xiang is too modest. Not long ago, the two young ladies captured Zhong Tian's confidant who tried to break out of the army, and made great contributions!" After hearing this, Wu Mei and Wu Ying blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in shame. In fact, it was not the two of them who captured the enemy. On the contrary, Wu Mei was captured by the enemy. If Tang Yin hadn't rushed back in time, the consequences would be unknown!
Although he knew that Tang Yin's words were a bit exaggerated, Wu Yu was still very happy in his heart. He laughed with his face up and shook his head meaningfully, saying: "Lord Tang really spoils my little girl too much." In the past, whenever Wu Yu saw Tang Yin and Wu Mei getting too close, he would immediately show his displeasure. Now, he took the initiative to rely on Wu Mei to get closer to Tang Yin.
The ministers knew it, but there was nothing they could do. Who could have given birth to such a charming daughter?
Wu Yu stopped smiling, changed the subject, and asked seriously: "Sir Tang, Zhong Tian has caused great public outrage. This thief must be dealt with as soon as possible!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement.
Wu Yu continued: "I don't know, Sir Tang, who do you think should interrogate Zhong Tian?" This question hit the point, and the ministers all looked up at Tang Yin with sparkling eyes.
Since Zhong Tian became king, he has done many things that are detrimental to the Feng Kingdom. He is full of crimes. No matter how he is interrogated, many crimes can be found on him. In addition, and the most important point is that by interrogating Zhong Tian, he can be implicated. If a large number of people appear, no matter whether the other party has a collusion relationship with Zhong Tian or not, the life or death of the other party can be determined by just one sentence from the interrogator. This is a great opportunity to eliminate dissidents and win over people's hearts and money, so interrogating Zhong Tian is an easy and convenient way. Naturally, everyone among the ministers wants to get a good job that can leave a good reputation and make good money.
Tang Yin is not interested in this. Now, he only values the throne. He blinked his eyes and asked with a smile: "Does Wu Xiang have anyone in mind?" Wu Yu said seriously: "Since Zhong Tian was captured by Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang should be fully responsible for interrogating Zhong Tian." After hearing this, the ministers who originally wanted to win over were discouraged. No matter how hard they fought, they could never win over Tang Yin!
However, Tang Yin himself lacked interest, and he did not have the time to devote to trivial matters such as interrogating Zhong Tian. Tang Yin will definitely not take things that are not good for him, and he will push them away if he can. He rolled his eyes, deliberately showing an expression of embarrassment, and said quietly: "Although Zhong Tian has committed a heinous crime, he is, after all, a traditional powerful person in Dafeng. It would be difficult to convince the public and would not be appropriate if I, the head of a mere county, were to try him. "Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately became energetic again.
"This..." After hearing what he said, Wu Yu didn't know how to answer the question.
At this time, Ziyang Haochun stood up and said seriously: "Leave it to me to interrogate Zhong Tian. I will definitely find a way to open Zhong Tian's mouth and make him confess all the evil deeds he has done!" Ah! Tang Yin almost laughed out loud. Ziyang Haochun was here to interrogate him. It was estimated that Zhong Tian would not live to see tomorrow. Looking at his appearance, it didn't look like he was going to interrogate Zhong Tian, but more like he was going to vent his personal hatred. Tang Yin did not consider that interrogating Zhong Tian would have so many benefits, but he also felt that Ziyang Haochun was not a suitable candidate. At this time, he happened to see Wu Yu's face looking ugly again, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it. Tang Yin was so smart that he immediately realized that Wu Yu wanted to argue about this matter. He secretly laughed in his heart and asked Zhong Tian If you leave it to Wu Yu, you can be a smooth favor. If any unfavorable remarks are found out, Wu Yu can just suppress it for yourself.
After thinking about it, he coughed lightly and said seriously: "Wu Xiang is the head of the civil servants. He is highly respected. He was as famous as Zhong Tian at the beginning. Of course he is also very familiar with him. I think it is best to leave this matter to Wu Xiang." It's perfect. After Zhong Tian is convicted, General Ziyang can be the supervisor. "Supervise the execution?" Tang Yin actually wants a dignified general like himself to be the executioner? When Ziyang Haochun heard this, his nose was almost twisted with anger, but before he could speak and express his dissatisfaction, Wu Yu had already spoken first: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for attaching great importance to the truth. Please rest assured, Mr. Tang and all of you." , the truth about the interrogation of Zhong Tian will be given to you and the people of the world with a satisfactory explanation!" When speaking, Wu Yu was upright, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.
Although Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun have many gang members, he can eradicate them all by interrogating Zhong Tian, and wait until they become hairless vultures to see how they will interact with him in the future. Against? ! Before the trial started, Wu Yu was already thinking about how to eliminate dissidents.
At this time, the ministers who were attached to Wu Yu stood up one after another, raised their hands and said, "Master Tang is wise, and Prime Minister Wu Yu is indeed the most suitable person to handle this case." After they sang together, and with Tang Yin's recommendation, the matter was basically settled. After coming down, Ziyang Haochun was unwilling and sulky on the chair with a sullen face, while Liang Xing was secretly inhaling, and a cold breeze ran down his spine. He was much more cunning than Ziyang Haochun, and he knew very well about the interrogation. Zhong Tian's stakes in this matter also understood Wu Yu's intention of fighting so aggressively. Because of this, he was on pins and needles, feeling that a disaster was imminent.
Tang Yin was too lazy to pay attention to the overt and covert fights between Wu Yu, Liang Xing, and Ziyang Haochun. To be more precise, none of the ministers in the court could please him. He had long thought about it. He made up his mind that as long as he could be king and sit on the throne, ten out of ten ministers in the court would be replaced by his confidants or those with real talents and learning.
Wu Yu was very happy to successfully win the job of interrogating Zhong Tian. Wu Yu, who was so mature and deep in the city, was beaming with joy at this time and persuaded Tang Yin and other ministers to have dinner in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When lunch started, Wu Yu deliberately pulled Tang Yin to sit next to him and asked with a smile: "Nephew Tang Yin, I wonder where your residence is? Who else is at home?" Now that it was a private occasion, Wu Yu Don't use the term "adults" or "adults" instead of "adults", and use more affectionate terms.
