The handkerchief that Guo Jue took out was the one that Tang Yin had casually thrown away after wiping his hands that day. Maybe the supreme authority could easily paralyze people, but Tang Yin, who had always been cautious, was careless when it came to this matter.
This handkerchief could be said to be solid proof, even Tang Yin could not find an excuse to reject it. The General of Feng Country saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and shouted: "Guo Jue actually plotted against our King, detestable, unforgivable! My King, please order the death of this thief!"
Tang Yin also wanted to kill Guo Jue, but it was too late to kill him now. He stared at Guo Jue with his deep and serene eyes, his mouth was tightly shut, and he did not say a word.
Looking at the furious generals, Guo Jue laughed leisurely and said: "Feng King can definitely kill me and seal this humble subject's mouth forever, but, Feng King cannot seal everyone's mouth!"
"Guo Jue, your death is at hand, and you're still spouting nonsense ?" Lu Wen grabbed Guo Jue by the collar, and shouted with a flushed face.
Tang Yin who had not spoken for a long time suddenly waved his hand, and laughed, then said softly: "Looks like Master Guo has already found ironclad evidence, this king cannot not admit it! That's right! The shopkeeper's daughter was indeed killed by This King.
Silence! The hall instantly became silent, as though everyone's acupoints had been pressed. They did not move at all, as they held their breaths and looked at Tang Yin in a daze. No one had expected that the King would admit to this matter in public. This time, things had really turned into a troublesome matter.
Guo Jue raised his head, looked at Tang Yin, and said word by word. "The Son of Heaven has violated the law, and has committed the same crime as the commoners. To kill for one's life, to repay one's debts and to repay one's money; it is only natural and right for the King to kill a weak and weak girl who has no power to tie a chicken; he shall be punished according to the law! "
"Pu!" Everyone present almost vomited blood, they did not know whether to praise Guo Jue for being too smart or to scold him for being too stupid. He was stupid, but he was able to investigate the matter of the tea house in less than a day. He was smart, but he actually said that the King wanted to sentence him to death. He was simply courting death. At this moment, many people began to admire him. No matter what, the King couldn't possibly be f * * king killed. This sort of courage to use an egg to hit a rock was truly commendable.
Hearing Guo Jue say that he should be sentenced to death penalty, the smile on Tang Yin's face did not increase by one bit, nor did it decrease by one bit. After muttering to himself for a moment, his arm shook slightly, and a crescent-shaped Scimitar appeared in his hand.
Boom! * The Scimitar was nailed to the ground, buzzing. Tang Yin sat at his seat and said indifferently: "This king is right here. If you think this king's punishment is extreme, then you can do it yourself!"
Guo Jue looked at the Scimitar nailed in front of him. After a long while, he finally reached out and pulled it out of the ground. Then, he held onto the blade with both of his hands and walked towards Tang Yin.
Seeing that he actually dared to bring out his blade and walk towards the King, took the lead and shouted, "Protect the King!" After the two of them shouted, the Soldiers And Generals of Feng Army s all stood in front of Tang Yin, blocking his path.
Tang Yin frowned in dissatisfaction and said solemnly: "All of you move aside, let him pass!" He really wanted to see how bold Guo Jue was, and whether he really dared to use his blade to chop his head off.
The Soldiers And Generals of Feng Army s looked at each other, and in the end, under Tang Yin's cold gaze, they all helplessly moved to the side.
Under the gaze of everyone, Guo Jue walked to the front of Tang Yin's table with his blade held. After standing still, he hesitated for two seconds, then respectfully placed the Scimitar on the table and said: "Feng King is the ruler of a country. Feng King, please decide for yourself! " As he was speaking, he pushed the Scimitar on the table towards Tang Yin.
In the era back then, the emphasis was on the body and the skin. To one's parents, being forced to have their hair cut off was already a great humiliation to an ordinary person, not to mention that Tang Yin was a stately Duke, standing in front of numerous Soldiers And Generals of Feng Army.
Tang Yin did not expect Guo Jue to make him use his hair as a substitute, it was somewhat surprising, in his opinion, hair could be used or not, there was no difference if he cut it or not, but he quickly realised how much attention he had placed on it in this era, if he was forced to have his hair cut, it would be extremely shameful.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, the General of Feng Country on her left and right could not hold back anymore, and shouted out: "Guo Jue, don't push me too far!"
Guo Jue did not care about the crowd, and looked at Tang Yin without blinking. Obviously, Guo Jue was a bastard who didn't want to back down no matter how hard he tried. However, if Tang Yin had to do it in front of everyone, it would not only be a disgrace to him, it would also be a disgrace to the entire Feng Country, and even to all the people in the world. Both sides were at an impasse.
Seeing that the situation had progressed to this point, and it was time for him to personally step in and resolve it, Qiu Zhen stood up, walked to Tang Yin's side, bent down, and said softly: "My King, can we talk further?"
What Tang Yin was most dissatisfied about was Qiu Zhen. If not for his admonition, he would never have allowed Guo Jue to become Mayor, and even more so, would not have let him investigate this case. Now, after much investigation, he had finally found out about.
He turned his head and fiercely glared at Qiu Zhen, as if to ask him: What else do you have to say? Qiu Zhen of course understood the anger Tang Yin was currently feeling, he pretended not to know, and asked again: "My King, can you speak further?"
It would only be Qiu Zhen. If it were any other person, Tang Yin would have already turned hostile by now. He took a deep breath and slowly stood up. Without saying anything, he walked towards the back of the screen.
Qiu Zhen quickly followed and then pulled Tang Yin's sleeves all the way to the corner of the wall before he stopped. Tang Yin swung his arm and asked: "Qiu Zhen, what do you want to say?"
"The King should accept Guo Jue's words, and punish herself publicly instead!" Qiu Zhen said in a low voice.
"Ha!" Tang Yin scoffed, and asked: "Did I hear wrong? Don't you think I've lost enough face today? "
Qiu Zhen asked: "Then does your majesty think that face is more important or the rivers and mountains in the world are more important?"
Eh? Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen strangely and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by that?"
Qiu Zhen nodded and said, "That's right! If the King were to publicly punish herself, she would lose a lot of face. However, doing so would win the hearts of many! If one was not a saint, then he or she would be perfect. The King was no exception. However, if the King was able to reflect on her own mistakes after making a mistake and punish herself, it would make everyone in the world have a whole new level of respect for the King. The blood case was the beginning of the play, allowing Guo Jue to investigate the case was the play's process. However, the result of the scene was not for Guo Jue to see, but for the citizens of the Thousand Square City and for all the other people to see, to let them know, the King was an enlightened ruler who knew her wrongs and knew what to do, and was not a cruel and ruthless person like Shao Fang. Wouldn't this sudden comparison give the King the upper hand in winning over the hearts of the people? "
Hearing Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin took a deep breath and rolled his eyes. After pondering for a while, a smile appeared on his face and he asked in disbelief, "So you had planned this beforehand?"0
"Of course! Why would this humble subject allow the King to do something so meaningless and humiliating? " Qiu Zhen laughed: "Even without Guo Jue, this humble subject would have sent other people to investigate this matter, to win the King's reputation. At the same time, it would be able to leak a very important information. The King is a wise man, regardless of her background, it is easy for me to absorb talent from Mo Country in the future. "
Tang Yin smiled as he shook his head, what do you mean by scheming and scheming, it was fully displayed on Qiu Zhen's body. Fortunately, Qiu Zhen was one of them, and if the enemy had such a talent, it would be his greatest enemy.
"I see. Isn't it just using one's hair as the starting point? I can still afford to lose this much face! " Tang Yin said with a relaxed expression.
Qiu Zhen bowed and said: "The King is wise!" After pausing for a moment, he changed the topic and asked, "What does the King think of Guo Jue?"
Tang Yin was startled, he continued to ponder as he muttered: "Although this man is talented, he is too inflexible, and does not understand principles."
Qiu Zhen laughed, and said: "There are countless capable people in the world, and countless of them. However, there are very few who would dare to advise, and there are even fewer who would risk their lives to advise, and it is precisely because of this that Guo Jue is so rare."
Thinking back to what Qiu Zhen said, Tang Yin slowly nodded his head. He felt that what he said wasn't unreasonable.
"This humble subject feels that the King should not abandon Guo Jue because of his honesty. On the contrary, it should be used more heavily!" Qiu Zhen retracted his smile and said meaningfully: "Looking at our Minister of Civil And Military Affairs, there are many capable people who are generals, but there are few among them who are good at flattering, and who are straightforward and dare to go against the will of a sovereign. Recently, this official has been thinking, if one day this official is unable to accompany the king, then who else in the dynasty would dare to contradict the king and amend the king's decision like this official? Until Guo Jue appears, this subject will only then find the best candidate to succeed this subject. "
Qiu Zhen's words made Tang Yin deeply moved, but at the same time, it also made his spirit tremble. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qiu Zhen's arm tightly, asking: "How come you're not by my side?"
"Great King, the heavens do not foresee the future, and everyone has their misfortunes ?" Qiu Zhen lowered his head and said softly.
Tang Yin's heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and shrunk into a ball. He had long gotten used to Qiu Zhen's company and was already used to accepting Qiu Zhen's advice at critical moments. He never thought that there would come a day where Qiu Zhen would not be by his side.
He instinctively grabbed onto Qiu Zhen's arm even more tightly and sternly said: "I have never believed that the heavens can never predict the winds and clouds, and humans can always be blessed with misfortune. I only believe in the heavens, and don't forget what you promised me back then, that you will accompany me in setting down a vast piece of land. Without my permission, you cannot go anywhere, and no one can take you away from me, not even the god of heaven or the god of death! "
