Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

She proudly accused more than a dozen people, saying that they had united together, formed cliques, and carried out small actions in secret, and they had an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat.

She unscrupulously uncovered the truth behind the defeat, exposing everything to the sun.

Internal strife? Of course, wherever there are people, there will be fighting. The Ning family army is not a monolithic entity, so it’s okay for each of them to serve their own leader.

But, we cannot collaborate with the enemy! This is the bottom line!

She would never allow so many innocent soldiers to be killed at the hands of the enemy and to climb up by stepping on their corpses!

The people were dumbfounded and filled with indignation. It was so abominable.

How can you stab your own people? Why? What is your purpose?

The expressions of civil and military officials were inexplicably complicated. Some officials had flickering eyes, and they looked uneasy, guilty, and nervous.

The faces of several princes did not look very good either.

Rong Jing motioned to the yamen runner to take the complaint and examine it carefully. "Do you have any evidence?"

"Have."

Ning Zhiwei presented a thick book of evidence, and the three presiding judges took turns reading it. It was too detailed.

The Minister of Justice couldn't help but ask, "Where did this come from?"

Wasn't she imprisoned in the palace? How could she have the time and energy to investigate?

Ning Zhiwei said frankly, "It was sent by the silver-faced young general."

There was a gasp, wow, wow.

The silver-faced little general was the hand she had outside, and he got hit hard.

No wonder he is so bold and dares to bring down so many people by himself.

Several strange looks came over, Ning Zhiwei looked back with wide eyes, what were they talking about?

Oh, several princes are involved. What role does Su Mingjin play in it?

In his previous life, he was the biggest winner...

The emperor looked deeply at this daring woman. Doesn't she care about anyone in this world? Isn't she worried that the women of the Ning family will be implicated?

You have offended so many people and have enemies all over the world. Aren’t you afraid?

This is really a calm madman, and a smart madman, with a silver-faced little general behind him.

Perhaps, the century-old Ning family’s backup plans are in her hands, and that is her confidence.

However, she was smart enough to know what to say and what not to say, and she did not drag the princes into this...

If she dared to drag the princes into this, neither she nor the Ning family would be able to stay.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. The king is the leader of the ministers, and they cannot overstep their authority or commit treason.

All the evidence was sent to the emperor for preview. At the same time, there were case files in which the Dali Temple Minister Rong Jing personally took risks to investigate cases at the border and collect evidence himself.

The case file contains the entire context of the case, including the interrogation, inspection, evidence collection, appraisal, identification, wanted list and other evidence materials during the investigation process, as well as conclusive physical evidence and witness testimony records, which are extremely detailed. Note (1)

The two verifications are consistent.

"I have also brought back 26 witnesses. I ask Your Majesty's permission to interrogate them in public."

"allow."

Under the chairmanship of Rong Jing, 26 witnesses came to the court one by one and testified truthfully. Some of them pleaded guilty and signed on the spot.

The Fourth Prince stared at one of them, who was General Ma Meng's confidant. He testified against Ma Meng's crimes on the spot and confirmed the charges.

His heart was bleeding. His mother's family had gone to so much trouble to win over such a hidden chess piece. They had originally hoped that Ma Meng would take down the 100,000-strong army in the northwest, but now all wasted.

What he was more worried about was that he would be affected.

The people were furious when they heard this. These villains were blinded by greed, scheming against each other, forming cliques for personal gain, and just like that, they destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers on the border.

Kill!

The people were outraged and begged the emperor to severely punish these corrupt officials.

Not far away, in a horse-drawn carriage sat Marquis Dingyuan and his daughter Lin Jingshu, who had requested sick leave. They had arrived early in the morning but did not dare to show their faces, so they just listened to the trial for a long time.

My heart is up and down, it's so exciting.

Hearing this, Lin Jingshu subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked over. Ning Zhiwei, dressed in plain clothes, was the most eye-catching person in the crowd and could be seen at a glance.

There seemed to be a layer of light on her body, shining among the crowd.

Lin Jingshu curled her lips. The relationships behind these people were complicated and intricately connected with the capital. If Ning Zhiwei offended so many people at once, she would be doomed.

What a foolish person, he has a pretty face but only cleverness, no wisdom. He only seeks momentary pleasure and causes so much trouble.

Yes, he grew up in a border area and did not receive a good education or training, so what does he know?

She was so foolish as to regard such a person as a strong rival, hahahaha.

She looked worried, "Father, my sister is so stupid, how could she talk like that? I'm so worried about her."

Dingyuan Hou heaved a long sigh of relief, "She is courting her own death. It's good, because it saves us from wasting time on her."

Although he still coveted the 100,000 Ning family soldiers, he couldn't control Ning Zhiwei. If he couldn't get her, he would destroy her.

"You are good in every way, kid, except that you are too kind. People like this don't deserve your sympathy."

"Don't say that. After all, she is my biological sister." Lin Jingshu said this, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her.

The emperor looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and then glanced at the civil and military officials in the court who had different expressions.

"Commander of the Imperial Guards."

"I'm here." Xiao Linfeng stepped out, exuding a cold murderous aura.

The emperor issued an order with a stern look, "Send men to the border to arrest people. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot."

"Yes." Only the Jinyiwei have such strength.

The Fourth Prince was extremely anxious. If General Ma Meng fell into the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, his maternal family would be implicated if he didn't keep his mouth shut.

"Father, according to the procedure, the relevant people should be given a chance to defend themselves...ah."

An inkstone hit the fourth prince on the forehead. The emperor looked coldly at his most beloved son with a stern look in his eyes.

"What did you say?"

The fourth prince knelt down with a plop. "Father, I just don't want to disappoint those meritorious soldiers. They once sacrificed their lives for our Great Qi. No matter what, they should be given a chance to defend themselves."

If you don't even say a word of plea to the people who are willing to work hard for you, who will be willing to work hard for you in the future?

He must make a statement.

He just relied on the fact that family disgrace should not be made public and the royal family would not expose their own scandals. He was sure that even if the emperor knew something, he would not reveal it.

Ning Zhiwei saw it all and smiled coldly. The lives of tens of thousands of Ning's soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people on the border were nothing to them. They were just dust, and they even thought it had dirty their shoes.

People in the royal family are so conceited and arrogant that they look down on everything.

It's so annoying.

And she fought hard to get justice.

I know it is impossible but I still do it. Even if there are thousands of people against me, I will still go. Note (2)

"Your Majesty, I will also sue them for the crimes behind the scenes..." She looked at the princes, and everyone who was caught by her gaze was frightened.

My God, when she goes crazy, she's not a human being anymore. Is she going to destroy herself and the whole family?

Help, someone come and shut her up?

Rong Jing pursed his lips slightly, and a barely perceptible worry flashed across his eyes.
