As soon as Liang Shicheng finished speaking, Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Then, he said with disbelief:

"A traitor?"

"But who is it?"

"Liang Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, you two don't have to worry too much in your hearts. Tell that person's name quickly."

"That man has caused the loss of all the 20 heavenly soldiers of our court."

"Then how can I easily let the culprit go?"

Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian had a slightly embarrassed look on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhongshi Dao and Zhongshi Zhong:

"Qi, Qi reports to the officials."

"That person has a very good background. The two ministers don't have it here, so they don't dare to talk about it."

Zhao Ji's face turned cold, and then he hummed softly:

"Liang Aiqing, you don't have to worry too much, I am here to make the decision for you."

"Liang Aiqing just said it doesn't matter."

After Liang Shicheng heard this, he immediately cleared his throat and said seriously:

"Reporting to the official family, that man is the father of Empress Ronghua, the military pillar of our Song Dynasty court."

"Cultivation of the master's way, cultivation of the old general!"

Zhao Ji was stunned.

When looking at Liang Shicheng, his face was full of disbelief.

After a long pause, he asked with surprise:

"Liang Aiqing, you, who do you think that person is?"

Liang Shicheng took a deep breath:

"Reporting to the official's house, that person is none other than the old general of Zhongshi Daozhong."

Zhao Ji turned his head and glanced directly at Master Zhongdao and Master Zhongzhong standing on one side of the hall with his rather sharp eyes.

After rolling his eyes in a circle:

"Zhong Aiqing, is what Liang Aiqing just said true?"

"Just talk to me."

Zhong Shidao's expression remained normal as he slowly came to the center of the hall and stood with Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian.

He said the following words without being humble or arrogant:

"Reporting to the official family, what Master Liang just said, from front to back, there is not a single word of truth."

"Those remarks have no solid evidence or any reason."

"Wei Chen is really too lazy to argue."

"Wei Chen firmly believes that with the officials' sharp ears and eyesight, they can give an impartial judgment on this matter."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhong Shidao finished speaking, Liang Shicheng, who was standing aside, snorted:

"No solid evidence?"

"General Zhong, if there is no solid evidence, do you think I will target you here?"

"General Zhong, I advise you to tell the truth quickly!"

"If not, when I bring out the solid evidence, General Zhong, you will no longer be able to deny it!"

Zhong Shidao slowly turned his head and glanced disdainfully at Liang Shicheng, who was full of pride:

"If you want to add a crime, why bother?"

Liang Shicheng curled his lips and sneered repeatedly.

But before he could speak again, Yang Jian, who had stood aside without saying a word for a long time, took the lead and couldn't help it anymore:

"Since you don't shed tears without seeing the coffin, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After Yang Jian said this, he suddenly made a big salute to Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon chair:

"I sincerely ask the officials to bring the witness to the palace."

"When the time comes, there will be a witness to explain the situation that day to the officials and even the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty."

"I hope the official will give me permission."

Zhao Ji looked at Yang Jian who spoke to him calmly, and then glanced at Liang Shicheng who was standing aside:

"This matter is absolutely no joke."

"Have you two seriously confirmed that the witness you found is the real participant in the series of events?"

"Don't wrongly accuse a good person because of the negligence of the two of you."

Yang Jian shook his head frequently:

"An official can never make a mistake."

"Because before that, Wei Chen had already confirmed the identity of the witness with Mr. Liang several times."

"That's categorical..."

Just when Yang Jian was halfway through speaking, he felt his calf being kicked lightly.

This couldn't help but make Yang Jian's heart suddenly tremble.

The firm tone when he spoke was three points weaker than before:

"Officials, after confirmation by the ministers, there should be no problem with the identity of the person who made the confession."

Zhao Ji nodded slowly, and then waved his hand gently towards Yang Jian;

"Well, let's invite the witnesses to come into the hall to speak."

While everyone in the Jinluan Hall was waiting for the person who made the confession to come to the hall.

Not only were the civil and military officials throughout the dynasty talking about it in private, but even Liang Shicheng, who was extremely confident just now, has been using his little hands to gently push Master Zhong standing aside:

"General Zhong, if you are willing to recognize that fact now, I believe that with the benevolence and generosity of the official family, you and your Zhong family will be punished lightly."

"If you wait a little while, when the witness goes to the temple, he will tell you all the evil things you have committed before here."

"Then what awaits you and the Zhong family may be a disaster."

"General Zhong, you are a smart man, and..."

Liang Shicheng was interrupted in the middle of his sentence by Zhong Shidao without mercy.

Zhong Shidao's eyes are like lightning and his voice is like iron:

"I wonder if someone has done those things that you call heinous things."

"Believe me, you understand this better than everyone here."

"So someone here would like to remind Mr. Liang:"

"You must know that those who do too much injustice will surely die!"

After Master Zhong said these words in a deep voice, he turned his head away.

I will never look at Master Liang with a ferocious look on his face again.

Such an action immediately made Master Liang, who had always had a good temper, angry. He gritted his teeth and secretly resented in his heart:

You old man, just wait, you will feel better later!

Just half an hour is gone in a blink of an eye.

The witness mentioned by Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian also quickly came to the center of the Jinluan Hall at this stage.

That was a young man over 30 years old.

His complexion is slightly dark and his appearance is very ordinary.

What caught your attention was the expression on his face and the panicked eyes that kept looking around.

When Liang Shicheng slowly walked to the man's side, he gently took his arm and brought him to the imperial steps:

"Qi Reporter, the person next to me is one of the many participants in that matter."

"This person was not only directly involved in the entire incident, but he also survived the battle."

"And Wei Chen and Mr. Yang spent a lot of effort to find this person during this period of time. It was really not easy."

"I sincerely ask the officials for permission to let this person tell the story of the crimes committed by General Zhong here."

Zhao Ji first glanced at the man.

Then, he said the following words with a very calm expression:

"What kind of place is this, and who am I sitting on the dragon throne?"

"You man must have known this for a long time."

"That being the case, I don't make too many demands on you here. I just hope that you can tell the truth about what you saw, did, and thought about that day."

"If there is even a little bit of falsehood, when the truth comes out, you will not be able to escape the serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

"do you know?"
