Except for Tan Siwei, everyone in the Dali Temple agreed with Li E 'er and Zhou Yang's conjecture of conspiring to kill. Even Minister Feng Zheng, after hearing that there was evidence and that the culprit had confessed, couldn't wait to go to the palace to report the good news to the Emperor.
Ning Shu argued strongly, but it was difficult for her to resist the war of words of so many people. She knew that this case was like a sword on a beam and a rope around the neck. Everyone related to it couldn't wait to get rid of it. Especially now that someone had taken the initiative to confess, it was simply a great thing that couldn't be asked for. However, this little Ning Shu actually bragged about the so-called truth and axiom, she simply overestimated herself.
A deputy minister sneered at Ning Shu and said: "Eldest Miss Ning, this official knows that you want to learn from your master and become a female Zhuge Goddess. You want to make a name for yourself, you want to shake the Nine Regions. But don't forget, you are first and foremost a citizen of the Great Yue State. This case is extraordinary, five days will pass in a flash. Do you want to ruin the fate of the entire Great Yue Empire for your own reputation? Or do you want to see with your own eyes the scene of the common people dying tragically under the swords of the Southern Yan Empire, the scene of millions of corpses? "
Ning Shu straightened her back, her eyes were as clear as water. She fearlessly welcomed the questioning from all directions, "Daren thinks too highly of my daughter. Isn't my daughter's reputation already bad in the Nine Regions? Why do I need to make a name for myself? If I really want an undeserved reputation like Daren said, I dare to ask Buddha to immediately strike me with five thunders. However, Daren, there are so many flaws in Zhou Yang's testimony. Anyone with ears can distinguish it. Just based on that pair of shoes, it can only prove that he was at the scene of the crime. How can it prove that he participated in the crime? And Li E 'er can't even say the process of the crime. Just based on our subjective assumptions, isn't it shirking responsibility and fabricating an unjust case? Do you dare to raise your head and look at the four words' justice 'written by Emperor Gaozu on the screen wall of the Dali Temple?! "
The deputy minister's face was red with anger. He stretched out his hand and angrily said, "A hen takes charge of the morning! With a witch like you here, my Great Yue is doomed! "
Hui Mo stepped in front of Ning Shu and said sarcastically, "Because of you old fogeys and hypocrites, Great Yue is going to perish!"
On one side was his peer, and on the other side was his sweetheart. Tan Siwei stood in the middle and was in a dilemma. He tried to ease the tension many times, but it was useless.
Amidst the noisy debate, Feng Zheng, who had always pretended to be deaf and mute, half-opened his eyes and slowly said, "Justice and justice are the principles of the world. We dare not not worship them and worship them as if they are gods. It's just that this old man is old, so today I'll take advantage of my seniority and ask Lady Ning, which is more, two or one million? "
Ning Shu had a vague feeling that he wanted to say something, but she had to answer, "One million."
Feng Zheng continued, "Then two lives and one million lives, which is more, which is less?"
Ning Shu silently clenched her fist, "Under the sky, above the earth, millions of people in the world only have one life each. Ning Shu thinks that two people and one million people should not be compared, and should not be compared, because no one has the right to take away another's life without any reason, and even more unable to decide the life and death of another."
Feng Zheng's presbyopic eyes finally opened completely. There was some appreciation in his eyes, and then he continued to ask, "Then I'll let you make your own decision now. If there was a choice in front of you, to sacrifice yourself and save the country, including all your family in this country, what would you choose?"
Her palm clenched even tighter, and there was a painful taste. Ning Shu's eyelashes trembled violently. Her voice was incomparably hoarse, but in the end, she could not help but follow her heart, "… country."
