The most powerful woman of the empire had finally appeared!
After the empress said this.
Everyone was shocked!
Wei Dachuan clenched his teeth and did not dare to speak!
After all, ever since this Heavenly Lady launched a coup and ascended the throne, she had always used the art of checks and balance against the struggles between the major factions of the imperial court and had never taken sides.
and now
She actually stood on the side of the newly appointed young eunuch of the East Military Council!
Not to mention the surrounding officials.
Even Zhou An himself was dumbfounded!
Could it be that this black-bellied lady was finally willing to open her heart and treat him as one of her own?
He looked over.
Today, the empress was wearing a phoenix crown on her head. She was wearing a gentle and elegant but grand dress with phoenix patterns. Under the skirt, a pair of unique, voluptuous and slender legs were generously revealed.
She was indeed a stunner.
Unfortunately, she was a two-faced queen.
Zhou An sighed in his heart. After witnessing the various methods of the empress, he could only be wary of such a woman and had no other feelings.
The empress looked deeply at Zhou An before coming to Wei Dachuan's side."Eunuch Wei, did you hear what I said?”
Wei Dachuan gritted his teeth and was about to speak when the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Cai Wuhuan, spoke first,""Your Majesty, the West Hall has suffered a great injustice today! He was in so much pain that he lost his composure!”
"Oh? Tell me what grievances you have."
The empress returned to the phoenix carriage and asked in a cold voice.
"Last night, eight eunuchs under Eunuch Wei were killed by a traitor!" Cai Wuhuan said. And this subject's subordinate personally saw this Eunuch Zhou enter the residence of the murdered Deputy Governor Wei, and it was in the name of His Majesty.”
The empress replied coldly,"I was the one who sent Zhou An to Wei Bin's residence to investigate some matters. What's wrong?"”
Cai Wuhuan deliberately said with a heavy expression,""Ai, however, when Eunuch Zhou came out of the Wei Residence, the Brocade Guard under me went in to check and found that Eunuch Wei Bin's head was already separated from his body.”
"Could it be…Is this also His Majesty's intention?"
Cai Wuhuan's gaze was sharp like a steel knife.
His words already had the intention of forcing him to abdicate!
Yes, everyone knows that the empress wants the Eight Tigers of the West Wing to die, but you have to show evidence of their crimes!
You directly sent people from the East Hall to kill Wei Bin. Isn't this clearly messing around and making all the forces in the imperial court panic?
Of course, Cai Wuhuan's real goal was to force the empress to sever ties with the East Military Manor!
Today, he would be able to completely remove the thorn in the East Military Hall's eyes!
At this moment, the empress couldn't help but frown and remain silent.
"Your Majesty, let me answer Lieutenant Cai.”
Zhou An walked over and said sternly," The Eight Tigers of the West Chamber killed the innocent and harmed the people. They seized the imperial court's land, mines, water transport, and other assets totaling 300 million taels of silver!”
"Back then, the Southern Martial Arts World's Alliance Master, Bai Xufei's son, Bai Zhen, was murdered by them. This matter almost incited a conflict between the martial arts world and the imperial court!”
"This is only the tip of the iceberg of their crimes!”
"But based on these crimes, according to the laws of the Great Xuan, they are enough to die a thousand times!”
Everyone was shocked.
The Eight Tigers of the West Chamber had been committing crimes for a long time. All the officials in the court knew about this, the empress knew about it, and Wei Dachuan knew about it too.
But the key was that the West Factory's network of infiltration was too wide. There was no substantial evidence at all!
In recent years, under the empress's instructions, the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review had joined forces to investigate the matter thoroughly. They had dug out some evidence of the West Hall's crimes, but in the end, a bunch of scapegoats had taken the blame.
The high and mighty Eight Tigers of the West Factory were still enjoying their wealth.
"Heh, so Eunuch Zhou killed them without going through the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Censorate? Using martial arts to break the law was the greatest taboo of the Great Xuan!”
"I believe that this is definitely not His Majesty's decree!”
"Eunuch Zhou, how will you explain this? Hmm?"
Cai Wuhuan's eyes were like knives as he shouted.
Not only did his words force Zhou An to a dead end, but he also forced the empress to draw a clear line between them!
The Head of the Supreme Court, Xu Zhongjin, also walked over and asked excitedly,"Eunuch Zhou, do you have any concrete evidence for what you said just now?”
Of course, he didn't believe it.
One had to know that he, Iron Head Xu, was an honest and upright official who was not afraid of power. He had been investigating the West Chamber under the orders of the empress for seven years, but he still did not have any substantial evidence of the Eight Tigers!
The empress pursed her lips tightly and looked at Zhou An worriedly.
To be honest.
Ever since the series of events after Liu Jin's death last night, she realized that she could not understand this 18-year-old boy in front of her anymore.
She was even looking forward to what kind of trump card Zhou An could use to turn the tables!
"Supervisor Zhou! If you can't explain yourself today! Even if you can escape the crime of killing the Eight Tigers, I will never forgive you for slandering my West Hall!”
Wei Dachuan gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot like an angry lion.
At this moment.
The atmosphere was extremely cold!
All eyes were focused on this young factory duke with black hair and a handsome face.
He placed his hands behind his back and said leisurely,
"First, I didn't kill the eight tigers.”
"Secondly, all the crimes of the Eight Tigers are in my hands. Not only that, I have witnesses!”
He clapped his hands.
A hysterical voice came from afar,"
"I killed the eight tigers! I killed my father, Wei Bin! West Hall deserves to die!"
"Governor Zhou and His Majesty are doing this for their lives!”
Hearing this voice, everyone was shocked!
Everyone turned around and saw a skinny, pale-faced eunuch walking over with the help of a young eunuch from the East Chamber.
"Wen Xuan! Why is it you?"
Wei Dachuan was so shocked that he took a step back and almost fainted!
It turned out that this tall and thin eunuch was none other than Wei Bin's son, Wei Dachuan's grandson, Wei Wenxuan!
And this eunuch was naturally the rising star of the East Chamber, Eunuch Hai Dafu!
The corners of Zhou An's lips curled up. At this moment, he and the empress's eyes met for a second.
He winked at her.
mean
"The show has just begun!"
"The Great Demon King is about to massacre everyone!”
————-
Wei Wenxuan was the foreshadowing! That was why I didn't write the specific process of killing Wei Bin in the sixth chapter! Everyone would know soon!
I've prepared the structure and outline of this book for a long time. The later parts are so exciting. I don't know why the data is so bad.
However, I still have to thank some hardcore readers for their support!
Begging for flowers, begging for votes!
