[One hundred and fifty-four] two-phase debate

"Taiwei Deng, now both above the Nan Palace and within the Tingwei Mansion are full of evidence of your grandson Deng Qing participating in various major cases. Do you think that if you do not admit these, your Majesty, court officials and even all the people can turn a blind eye to the crimes he bears?"

Jing Ting stood aside, unable to bear it, so he rushed out to question Deng Guozhong despite Dou Yuelan's secret obstruction.

Dou Yuelan's face changed slightly. He looked at Emperor Wei with some concern, then lowered his head and stood silently in the corner. Three days ago, after he was released from the palace prison by Emperor Wei, he was sent back to the Tingwei Mansion by Cui Qian. That afternoon, Jiang Chengyi's sister sneaked into the Tingwei Mansion without knowing it and met him. This girl was really a strange woman. She seemed to know the situation in the palace as if she knew it well, and her words were surprisingly similar to the facts.

She came to tell him in person that His Majesty had already thought about Dou because he was protecting Jiang Chengyi in the hall. Moreover, the reason why Jiang Chengyi did not act as they agreed in advance was to eliminate His Majesty's concerns. She told him to try not to protect Jiang Chengyi and the Jiang Mansion too much, and also told him that only in this way can His Majesty relieve his anger towards Jiang, and not implicate Dou's family and protect his tribe members.

He didn't believe it at first that His Majesty would think that he formed a clique with the Jiang family for personal gain just because he protected Jiang Chengyi and defended the Jiang family. But today, since he entered the Nan Palace, he realized that Emperor Wei was full of worries and his eyes were always frozen on him. Jing Ting and Jiang Chengyi's expressions revealed a faint dissatisfaction. Dou Yuelan then affirmed Jiang Chengjia's statement and realized that Emperor Wei's intention to guard him.

Faced with Jing Ting's remarks, Deng Guozhong just snorted coldly, shyly, and continued to force himself to refuse to admit it: "You talk about evidence? Haha, Commander Jing Da. Now most of these evidences are from the hands of the Jiang Zhusi. How could I know that he did not forge it?"

"Just! The four of us have already checked these evidences clearly, and there is no doubt that they are true or false! Everything Jiang Zhusi said is true! Taiwei Deng, don't you think it's unreasonable to use such an excuse to make excuses?" Jing Ting argued, trying hard to suppress the people on the other side in words.

Unexpectedly, Deng Guozhong did not accept the call at all. He stood in the hall more relaxed. He put his hands in his sleeves, crossed his hands, and said leisurely and calmly: "The commander has worked with the Dongfu Office for nearly a year, and he has a good relationship with the Jiangzhu Office. I believe that on weekdays, the Dongfu Office's care for the capital makes you feel very relieved. This is why you are helping Jiangzhu Office with this."

"You! What do you mean?" Jing Ting was slightly stunned, then blushed and shouted at him with a thick neck: "Jiang Zhusi and I have never surpassed each other in their daily lives! He is a good minister, but he has suffered such a great injustice. Naturally, I have to stand on the side of justice and speak for him!"

Deng Guozhong's words aroused Jing Ting's anger. Hearing his panic and loud defense, he couldn't help but sneer: "What does listening to Commander Jing mean by saying this is that... Your Majesty's low ability to distinguish right from wrong will lead to such a great injustice?"

Jing Ting stared at him and stuttered immediately: "I...when did I say that to Your Majesty?"

Deng Guozhong laughed mockingly and said, "Commander Jing Da, you should know that the one who judged that this case was related to the Jiang family was His Majesty. Those who encircled Jiang Mansion were also obeying His Majesty's imperial guards and Beiling Army. You said you were going to stand on the side of justice and speak for the Jiang Lord. Aren't you saying that Your Majesty does not distinguish between black and white?"

Jing Ting was so excited that he almost jumped up and said angrily: "Teiwei Deng! Don't twist the right and wrong here! I have no such intention in my words! If it weren't for your good son and grandson Deng Qing framed Jiang Zhushi, why would the Jiang Mansion and even the Jiang clan members suffer from the siege? Now, you are here to sow discord, what do you mean by your intention!"

While the two were arguing, Dou Yuelan hid behind Jiang Chengyi and quietly looked at the Emperor Wei on the nine-stairs high platform.

I saw the young emperor on the high platform slowly narrowing his eyes and staring at the two people arguing at the steps with great interest, with a very subtle expression.

"Commander Jing Da, I will say it again, my grandson will never do such a thing that is incompatible with heaven. Whether it is the evidence from the Tingwei Mansion, your mansion, or Changwei Wei, or Yuewei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei's mansion, I will not believe it if the Jiangzhushi comes out. Who knows if he will make any moves in it?

You should know that Shui Pavilion is the world's number one business group, and for them, tampering with evidence is a matter of being able to capture it. And you, Dou Tingwei, are very close to Jiang Zhusi on weekdays, which makes me unable to feel at ease. If you secretly help him, wouldn't my grandson Deng Qing be wronged for nothing?"

Deng Guozhong insisted on his sternness, and even repeatedly emphasized that Jing Ting and Jiang Chengyi were close, and they were likely to be suspected of covering up, and even pulled Dou Yuelan in.

"Okay, even if you don't believe the evidence Dou Tingwei and the evidence investigated below, don't you even believe the Chang Yuweiwei and Yue Luoweiwei sent by His Majesty? They have actually checked all the evidence and testimony!" Jing Ting said with difficulty.

Deng Guozhong narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "I just said it. It is very easy for me to tamper with evidence in the water Pavilion. Maybe, Weiwei Chang and Weiwei Yue Luowei were also deceived. This is easy to explain. Commander Jing Da, if you can't come up with evidence, don't forcefully argue with me again.

This case is related to my son Deng Ling. Although it is a matter of the Deng family, it is indeed related to the state. After all, my son is a minister of the current dynasty. The true truth about his accidental death should be investigated carefully, rather than pouring all the dirt into my Deng family like you are now."

Jing Ting said furiously: "You! You...you!!"

He was too angry and said for a long time, he only shouted out a few words "you".

At this moment, Emperor Wei, who was leaning on the bed of the imperial throne, curled his lips slightly, and his eyes became more and more cold.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Dou Yuelan hurried forward and stopped him and said, "Commander Jing! Commander Jing will calm down, don't be so excited..."

As he said, he secretly poked Jing Ting's arm, stood at an angle that Emperor Wei couldn't see clearly, shook his head at him, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jing, it's meaningless to continue quarreling like this. If Your Majesty is unhappy, it's not good for us."

Jing Ting glanced at him, slowly restrained his anger that rushed to his forehead, and his breathing gradually became even. He took two steps back, looked at Emperor Wei carefully, and just looked at him, and his heart suddenly leaped wildly. Emperor Wei's cold gaze made Jing Ting subconsciously panic.

He stopped the voice and stood behind Dou Yuelan and did not dare to say more.

The generals in the hall experienced a quarrel, and when they calmed down, they felt like they were trapped in an ice cellar.

At this time, Jiang Chengyi, who had been standing in the corner without saying a word, walked out and bowed to the Emperor of Wei and said, "Your Majesty... I am really frightened, so I made Taiwei Deng have such a deep prejudice against me. Although the Shang Gang Water Pavilion where I am is, it is impossible for me to dispose of the evidence stored in the Tingwei Mansion at will.

Moreover, since I embarked on the official career and became an official in the court, I gradually kept a distance from Shui Pavilion. Although there were some important matters that still needed help from Shui Pavilion, I did not dare to let him get involved in the government affairs too much. I believe that I have no fraud and have a clear conscience. It is really hard to be so arrogant and humiliating to Taiwei Deng.”

He spoke out bluntly and completely ignored the decoration and started to argue with Deng Guozhong in the hall.

Deng Guozhong had long since wanted to continue to endure it, and immediately mocked: "Is Jiang Zhusi finally unable to hold it up? I have this personality and I really can't say that those who hear it deliberately please others."

The meaning of his words was to mock Jiang Chengyi's humble and respectful attitude towards others in daily life.

On the southern palace, anyone can hear his deliberate humiliation.

Jiang Chengyi was not annoyed, but instead smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal is right. If you were not already the head of the Deng family and held the power of the court, few people would be willing to talk to you."

His words began to be explicit and he no longer had any respect.

When Deng Guozhong heard this, his expression changed slightly and he was a little unhappy.

Before he could refute, Jiang Chengyi took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, since Taiwei Deng does not believe in the evidence found by me, then please don't ask the four masters to come to the court to speak with the testimony documents and various evidences brought by me. Within these four days, I believe that all the adults should have another investigation... There must be evidence from other people. It is better to just take it out and discuss it so as to avoid the Taiwei's refusal to say it or not."

Deng Guozhong couldn't help but quietly closed his eyebrows, and a strange thing flashed in his eyes.

When Chang Yu heard what Jiang Chengyi said, he immediately stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty... I have indeed found a solid evidence here, and it was not from the Jiangzhusi."

Emperor Wei looked at him and said, "Oh? Since there is such evidence, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"I think that just relying on the evidence verified by the Jiangzhushi can convince Taiwei Deng to believe what Deng Qing did. Who knew..." Chang Yu sighed silently and said, "I am dereliction of duty, I hope Your Majesty will punish you."

"There is no need to be punished. Let's talk about what kind of evidence is it?" Emperor Wei stared at him and asked.

Chang Yu then said in detail: "Report to Your Majesty. The evidence I have in my hands comes from a person. This person once obeyed Lord Taichang and was his inseparable guard. When the accident happened that day, the guard luckily hid in the mountains and forests, escaped a disaster, and did not die. Therefore, he survived and was able to testify for the case."

"The guard of Taichangqing?" Emperor Wei frowned and said in confusion.

"No," Chang Yu bent down slightly, bowed and replied softly.

Emperor Wei continued to ask: "What is this person's name?"

Chang Yu replied: "This person's name is Changgu."

Haguchi?! Hearing this name, Deng Guozhong subconsciously paused.
