The eldest son is fierce

The hall was instantly filled with dead silence.

Before, everyone was laughing and treating Tang Yi as a clown and a plaything, but now they were all silent.

Just now they were waving the evidence in their hands to mock Tang Yi, but now they felt that the evidence was as hot as a hot potato and they wanted to throw it away.

But I said too much just now and cut off my retreat.

What should we do now? Everyone's eyes could only turn to the prince again.

The prince felt a little uneasy when he saw his gang members coming, but he still firmly believed that this was an intensified version of Tang Yi's coercion and inducement, and he wanted to force everyone to confess their guilt.

He glared at Tang Yi and sneered, "Oh? Since the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has said so, I'd like to see it with my own eyes."

"As the Crown Prince of Dayan, I have always been honest and upright. I would like to see what crime the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery can find out about me."

He pretended to be calm, walked straight to the nearest table, and threw the account book in his hand that recorded his evidence on the table.

"Your Highness is right. We are loyal to each other, so we are not afraid of Tang Yi's false accusations."

"Come on, Tang Yi, I'm not afraid of you."

"..."

Seeing that the prince set an example, his followers felt relieved.

They all smiled again and looked towards the empty table.

Soon, dozens of empty seats were filled with people, all looking at Tang Yi with mocking and amusement eyes, not taking Tang Yi seriously at all.

Emperor Yanwen was furious when he saw this scene. What about the ministers in the court? They were just a bunch of street urchins.

You keep shouting about being polite, being polite, but where are your politeness? Have they all been eaten by dogs?

"Damn it, I really want to kill them!" Xiao Di was so angry that his teeth were itching. When scholars became shameless, they were much more hateful than those hooligans on the street. It made people want to kill them.

"Kill them? Then you are saving them."

Tang Yi winked at Xiao Di and said, "Today, I'm going to teach you how to rub their faces against the ground without using your fists, and still feel great!"

When everyone heard this, the noise suddenly became louder, and they were all mocking him and asking him to come forward.

"Since you are so eager to die, I must grant your wish."

Tang Yi waved his hand, and another group of young eunuchs came out and quickly spread out around the ministers involved in the case.

Everyone was speechless at the time. What do you want to do? Why are you so dramatic?

Tang Yi looked at Emperor Yanwen and said, "Your Majesty, they will be responsible for supervising all the ministers involved in the case and working with them to decipher the evidence of their crimes."

"I request that Your Majesty issue an edict that each piece of evidence deciphered must be read out publicly."

"At the same time, if there is a discrepancy between the figures deciphered by this lady and the minister involved, whoever deciphers incorrectly will be executed!"

"Finally, all ministers involved in the case, including the Crown Prince, must decipher all the account books within one hour. Anyone who commits fraud or disobeys orders will be beheaded and their property confiscated!"

"Of course, if it is proven that I, Tang Yi, framed them, I will immediately apologize to them on the spot."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall exploded instantly, and everyone was stunned. Could this bastard be so cruel?

This leaves no way out!

Emperor Yanwen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tang Yi and said, "Boy, you are playing too big. If you mess up, I can't protect you even if I want to."

But seeing Tang Yi winking at him, Emperor Yanwen could only wave his hand and said, "Okay!"

Tang Yi immediately looked at the prince and the ministers involved in the case and saluted respectfully.

"Your Highness, my Lords, this is a matter of our lives, so please do your utmost."

He then grabbed the History of the Previous Dynasties on the table and said, "It's actually very simple to decipher. The entries in the account books you have, that is, the corresponding numbers, correspond to the page numbers, lines, and character positions in the History of the Previous Dynasties."

"Give me an example...never mind, I'll give you a demonstration."

Tang Yi walked up to the Crown Prince, took the account book from his side, pointed at the number and said, "See? This number is 010816, which means the sixteenth word on the eighth line of the first page of the History of the Former Dynasty."

After saying this, he turned to the first page of "History of the Former Dynasties" and pointed to the corresponding character: "See? This is the character '太'!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience fell into dead silence.

The civil and military officials who were not involved in the case were all dumbfounded, and the ministers and the prince who were involved were all dumbfounded.

Only at this moment did they finally realize a fatal problem!

This might really be their account book. Could that old bastard Gu Cheng really have hidden their account books among these messy-looking account books?

Ning Chuan and Xiao Di looked at each other in shock. Damn, is it possible to play like this?

No wonder that day at Gu Cheng’s house, Tang Yi fiddled with it for a while and said he knew who the real murderer was.

The two of them immediately took action, found the account book that Gu Cheng had recorded that day, and began to decipher it according to the method Tang Yi said.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Yanwen also stood up suddenly and was shocked.

Although Tang Yi had vowed that there was no problem before, he was still worried that Tang Yi would mess it up.

Now, he was finally sure that Tang Yi had not messed up, but the problem was that this bastard was even on guard against him and hid the truth from him even though he knew it.

This made Emperor Yanwen quite angry, well, very angry, the kind of anger that couldn't be appeased!

Tang Yi looked at the Crown Prince and the stunned ministers involved in the case. He was quite satisfied with their expressions at the moment, but his face was quite calm. "Why? You look shocked?"

"Don't be so shocked. It's just a little game. Why are you so shocked?"

"After all, something even more shocking to you is yet to come!"

Tang Yi raised his hand and snapped his fingers, saying, "Have I made the rules clear enough? Then, gentlemen, please begin your performances!"

After hearing this, all the ministers involved in the case came to their senses and looked at the account book they had used to tease Tang Yi just now... This was not just a hot potato, it was a death warrant!

No one in the audience moved.

Since they didn't move, the young eunuchs who were involved in the decryption naturally didn't dare to move either.

Tang Yi shrugged and immediately looked at Emperor Yanwen, "It's your turn to take action."

As expected, Emperor Yanwen's tiger eyes swept across the entire room, and his voice was majestic and stern: "What? What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what Tang Yi said?"

"What did you say just now? You were loyal and brave, and I believed you, but now you don't believe it anymore?"

"Decipher it for me immediately. Anyone who fails to decipher it within an hour will have their property confiscated and their head executed!"

After hearing what Emperor Yanwen said, the ministers began to decipher the numbers according to the accounts.

For a moment, the only sound in the entire hall was the sound of flipping pages.

But soon, even the sound of turning pages faded away.

Tang Yi stood at the front with his hands folded, like an invigilator. He could clearly see that many ministers were constantly wiping cold sweat, and their faces were frighteningly pale.

Some people even started to tremble and could hardly sit still.

Even Crown Prince Xiao Cong was pale at this time, and the hand holding the pen was trembling slightly.

At this moment, he no longer had the arrogance and arrogance he had just had!
