Chapter 975 Save Me Please
are all targeted, but ordinary people wouldn't get so many wind-cold infections. Taking medicine constantly doesn't really cure the problem.All year round, the time spent being truly healthy adds up t..."General Zong's reputation has reached even the capital city, and I have long admired his name."
As a prime minister, Yuan Buyu to be so polite to a junior who was even younger than his own children already gave the other party great face.
But Zong Yu was born not knowing how to buy other people's accounts. Perhaps only three women in the world could make him compromise: his mother, his wife, and his sister.
He disregarded the reputations of others, and cared nothing for ministers or even emperors.
"Master Yuan, since we dare to speak of this matter before so many guests today, we naturally have evidence in hand, and it is not fabricated."
"The Minister of Rituals has deceived superiors and subordinates, abused his power to switch examination rankings, committing a grave crime. After returning to the palace, I will report this to my father the Emperor and have Zong Pingchuan strictly investigated."
Even if this person were your son-in-law, I'm afraid he'd still have to go to the prison.
Fu Ming was afraid that the clan members would not be able to withstand Yuan Buyu's pressure, so he proactively stood up to speak for them.
With the support of the Seventh Prince, a wave of voices speaking up for Zong Bai began to rise among the guests present.
The outcome of the current situation is clear. The young man still holds evidence in his hand, proof that Master Zong had tampered with imperial edicts. Even the Seventh Prince knows about it, so there's no room for doubt.
After all, if we go before the Emperor without evidence, it would be treason. Our entire clan would be wiped out.
Everyone was waiting for Yuan Buyu to speak, even Zong Pingchuan couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope, hoping that his father-in-law would take him under his wing because of the Yuan family.
When he heard the Seventh Prince say they had evidence in their hands, his mind went blank. His first reaction was definitely disbelief.
He did everything flawlessly, all the evidence that could have been used against him was destroyed, and everyone who could have testified against him was eliminated. They've only been in the capital for how long, and they already found new evidence
Zong Pingchuan felt uneasy in his heart, guessing what kind of evidence Zong Bai was holding and what charges he would ultimately be accused of.
"Well, well. This old man simply feels that it's getting late. Since a decision has already been made in this matter, you should proceed as you see fit. There's no need to consider this old man's presence."
"The Son of Heaven, when he commits an offense, is subject to the same penalty as an ordinary person."
What Everyone was dumbfounded.
They had considered various possibilities. Perhaps Yuan, the prime minister, would, out of affection for his daughter, vigorously defend Zong Pingchuan, her husband. Or perhaps he would be very angry, filled with grief and indignation, berating Zong Pingchuan severely before ultimately sacrificing personal ties for the greater good, thereby gaining public praise and goodwill.
Nobody expected him to act like an uninvolved bystander, even smiling and patting Zongyu's arm while praising his youthful vigor.
Even Lian Fangjin couldn't understand what this old man meant.
Mingming, just days ago, sent assassins to their home. He wanted to exterminate the entire Yuan family and Zong Pingchuan for vengeance.
To see Zongyu smiling like this and looking at him with admiration is truly baffling. One would think Zongyu was his son-in-law if they didn't know better.
Zong Pingchuan's face turned ashen, his heart skipping a beat.
He had seen this expression on Yuan Buyu many times before. To be precise, he had seen it numerous times during the first few years of his marriage to the Yuan family. Back then, his official rank rose rapidly, and he accomplished several outstanding political feats, earning him lavish praise and commendation from his father-in-law who was never stingy with his approval.
Yuan Buyu wanted to elevate someone to a position of power as easily as drinking water and eating. He also wanted to bring someone down to ruin, leaving them with nothing.
Under the stunned and bewildered gazes of the crowd, Yuan Buyu left the palace without even glancing at Zong Pingchuan, taking his men with him.
Wen Xiong was the second to leave.
When he passed by Zong Pingchuan, he was pulled aside by him. Zong Pingchuan, like he had grasped the last straw in his life, begged Wen Xiong.
"Wen elder brother, please save me."
Wen Xiong's face was cold, he pushed away Zong Pingchuan's hand without hesitation.
"As a matter of fact, there's something I also wanted to ask Master Zong about today."
"It's been rumored in the capital that Second Young Master of the Zong family suffered an injury to his lower body and is no longer able to fulfill traditional hospitality duties. Is there any truth to this"
Zong Pingchuan subconsciously shook his head. How could he possibly let Wen Xiong know about this now He had intended to keep it a secret from the Wen family until his death, and now Taiwu had been healed by people sent by Yuan Shi.
Wen Xiong, there's absolutely nothing like that!
"Tai Wu had been injured before, but it was never this serious."
"If he truly cannot be human, how could I continue to arrange the marriage for the two children Xiaorou is someone I've watched grow up; in my heart, I've always considered her my own daughter."
Hearing this, Wen Xiaorou endured her anger and disgust as she walked forward.
"Bah! You're heartless enough to abandon even your own biological daughter in the countryside, and you dare treat me, your future daughter-in-law, with any regard"
Besides, being treated like a biological daughter by Master Zong doesn't seem like such a good thing either. After all, with your real daughters, you can just abandon them whenever you want. two to one, it was a rotating battle, and Zhao Yi and Zhao Er were still at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength.Even with this situation, these people still can't win.
