Chapter 470 - Regent Prince’s Anger (1)
Normally, he was always cold and calm. What made everyone unexpected was that he was incredibly horrifying the moment someone broke his taboo.
Over the past years, the officials were all used to his indifference. This was the first time they've seen Gong Jue's murderous aura. His deep black eyes were like a whirlpool, sucking in people's souls and then harshly crushing them.
Gong Cheng didn't expect for Gong Jue to hand him this either!
It was evidence of their crimes. It was all evidence of their crimes. If it weren't that Gong Jue couldn't bring both the evidence and witnesses over at the same time, Gong Cheng believed that he would definitely bring them all over.
This pile of documents probably contained Minister Zuo as well as his people's atrocious deeds.
Seeing that Gong Cheng was shocked, Gong Jue smiled and got on one knee.
"Father emperor, taking advantage of this auspicious day, this official wants to bring justice to the court in front of everyone. Father emperor, please allow me!"
Gong Cheng stared at him, complicated. After a moment, he placed the folding notebook down and said in a low voice, "Approved!"
Gong Jue smiled and stood up. His eyes… swept coldly at the audience stage.
The people in that direction felt the hairs on their backs standing up, afraid that Gong Jue was looking at themselves.
"Firstly, this prince wants to expose the fourth-grade Taizhong Doctor! In the summer of 1907 in June, the Taizhong Doctor, Doctor Xu, stopped at Long Country in Baoji, Shuihe Town, raping a common woman, while he was on government duty. Later on, because the woman couldn't take the humiliation, she committed suicide in front of the government office. Because Doctor Xu was wealthy, he covered his crimes and was still free up until today!"
"I didn't!" The person that was called was stunned before subconsciously retorting.
That was a long time ago. He even settled that woman's family. How did Gong Jue find out?
Therefore, he claimed that Gong Jue just heard some rumors and hurriedly crawled towards the direction of Gong Cheng.
"Your Majesty, this official has been wronged. This never happened!"
Before Gong Cheng could say anything, Gong Jue smiled. "You can talk to the people of the Zhao Prison whether this happened or not! Although you handled that woman's parents, she still had a sister who she had a great relationship with. She is willing to testify!"
After he finished, he disregarded Gong Cheng's hesitation and continued, "Arrest him! Take him to the Zhao Prison!"
Zhao Prison!
That was a place that no one could come out alive! The moment the Taizhong Doctor was arrested, he said, panicking, "No, this official has been wronged! Official Lu, please save me!"
Official Lu who had been called on felt his scalp going numb. He kneeled there, not daring to say anything. He cursed the person that was dragged off millions of times inside.
Who knew that Gong Jue's gaze landed on him as expected.
"Glorious Grand Master Lu…"
Gong Jue's gaze was icy and he spit the words out as if he was memorizing something.
"In the autumn of September 1912, your son beat Landowner Li and his son to death in order to steal the lands at a low cost. Your son ruined their family, and they had to move away from home. You think… no one would find out about this?"
Sweat dripped down Official Lu's head, knowing that there was no way Gong Jue would say this if he didn't have evidence. Didn't they see how the emperor didn't even say anything towards his decision?
Therefore, his heart thumped wildly, and struggled, explaining, "Prince, please investigate thoroughly! This official's son… this official's son didn't mean it! This official had already compensated them!"
"Oh?" Gong Jue acted as though he just heard a joke. Standing at the edge of the stage, he smiled at him.
