In front of Cao Zheng Wei's eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets and the Empress' eyes that wanted to devour people, Ning Shu tore off their last piece of cloth: "Yesterday, this little girl asked people to rush to the Han Jiang Manor. An arrow for ten li, smoke for a hundred li. Just now, at the last moment of the trial at the Noon Gate, this little girl received the news that they sent back, proving that this little girl's words were not false! In order to prevent suspicions, my daughter specially instructed them to invite the thousands of people of the Han Jiang Prefecture to be witnesses before they broke the wall. Every one of them could testify that the 100,000 fake silver taels had been quietly staying in that ordinary wall for so many years. They had been mixed with mud, smeared with white ash, and disguised as a wall. However, they were like the guilt that was buried deep in the heart. No matter how much they wanted to erase it, it had never disappeared. It had only been waiting for the arrival of today! The world will be revealed! "
When these words came out of her slightly pale lips, her voice was already hoarse. With every word she said, she tasted blood in her throat. However, her gaze was like an immortal bird that refused to bow its head. It was as if she wanted to burn all the light and heat in her body!
Empress Cao's mind suddenly felt dizzy, and her legs couldn't help but sway. A palace maid rushed forward to support her.
Ning Shu's last words were: "In three days, the fake silver personally supervised by Cao Guojiu will be escorted back to the capital under the witness of the people! This case is closed! "
Empress Cao's long golden fingernails pierced deeply into the palace maid's flesh, causing blood to flow. Her sharp eyes were like ropes, like whips, like thousands of sharp knives. She wanted nothing more than to cut Ning Shu into pieces on the spot and chop her into a pulp.
On the tall city gate tower, in front of the wide Noon Gate, two pairs of equally sharp eyes, one above and one below, seemed to be engaged in a silent contest. And on the horizon, lightning flashed like silk.
That was only a high and mighty phoenix that had been hovering in the nine heavens for over twenty years. It had long since become accustomed to trampling all things in the world beneath its feet. On the other hand, the plant on the ground was just a little orchid that grew by the river. The moon-white tip of the flower was a little green, and it looked so weak that it could be crushed into a pile of mud with a gentle pinch. However, the long green leaves beside the flower were like sharp swords that guarded the faith in the heart. Whoever came to attack, they would fight to the death.
— — Good for you, Ning Shu! You clearly know that as long as the commoners see the fake silver with their own eyes, there will be no turning back. But you still did it on purpose. You clearly want to be irreconcilable with this consort!
— — So what if he is? What was the point of being born if one could not redress the grievances and turn a blind eye to injustice? What was there to fear in death? I reincarnated seven times and returned to this life, not to be a piece of trash!
— — Then you don't want your parents and brothers anymore?
— — Of course, if I can't live with them, then I'll die with them. That way, I'll be able to look after them on the road to the Yellow Springs, and I'll die without regrets.
The orchid raised its head and looked at the ashen phoenix. It slightly bent its knees and said, "Empress, you are the mother of the nation."
A huge slap ruthlessly landed on the empress's face in front of tens of thousands of commoners. It slapped her so hard that she had no face left. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Ever since she had worn the imperial crown for twenty-five years, no one had ever been able to force her into such a situation.
The noble phoenix was finally forced to lower its head for the first time. She looked at the gray and defeated eyes of her brother, who was born from the same mother. She also looked at the tens of thousands of burning eyes below the city gate tower. Her voice was squeezed out from her throat, "The former magistrate of Hanjiang, Zhao Mingzhen, was indeed framed by someone and suffered an unjust injustice. Today, this consort has specially issued an imperial decree to redress the injustice and choose a day to bury the entire family! In addition, ten years ago, Imperial Uncle Cao Zheng Wei failed to supervise the production of the tribute silver. There is no way to refute this. Quickly confess the truth of your crimes! "
