On normal days, he was always cold and calm, but no one expected that once his reverse scale was touched, he would be so terrifying!
Over the years, the officials were used to his indifference, but this was the first time they saw Gong Dai's murderous look! Those dark eyes were like whirlpools that could suck in people's souls and then mercilessly crush them!
Emperor Gong Cheng also didn't expect that Gong Dai would give him such a thing!
Evidence of crimes, all of them were evidence of crimes. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't bring them all at once, Emperor Gong Cheng believed that Gong Dai would have brought them all!
This stack of documents, he was afraid that the Left Prime Minister and his faction's evil deeds were all here!
Seeing that Emperor Gong Cheng was still in shock, Gong Dai smiled and knelt down on one knee!
"Imperial Father, taking advantage of this auspicious day, this son also wants to cleanse the imperial court in front of the world and restore the world's clarity. Imperial Father, please allow it!"
Emperor Gong Cheng looked at him with complicated eyes. After a while, he put down the booklet in his hand and whispered.
"Allow!"
Gong Dai smiled and then stood up. His eyes … coldly swept across the platform.
The people in that direction all felt their backs go numb from his gaze, afraid that Gong Dai was looking at them.
"First, this prince wants to report the fourth rank Grand Physician! On the summer solstice of the seventh year of the Zhou calendar, Grand Physician Xu took advantage of the opportunity to leave the capital to forcibly kidnap a woman in Shanshui River Town of Long County. The woman couldn't bear the humiliation and killed herself in front of the local yamen. Xu Daren distributed countless wealth to cover up his crime and got away with it until now! "
"I didn't!" When the person was called, he was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly refuted subconsciously!
How long ago was this matter? Even the woman's family was dealt with by him. How did Gong Dai find out?!
So he insisted that Gong Dai only knew some rumors and quickly crawled a few steps towards Emperor Gong Cheng's direction!
"Your Majesty, this official is wronged. There is no such thing!"
Before Gong Cheng could say anything, Gong Dai laughed, "Whether there's such a thing or not, let's talk about it in Zhao Prison! Although you've dealt with that woman's parents, she still has a younger sister who is very close to her and is willing to testify! "
After that, he ignored Gong Cheng's hesitation and said directly.
"Take him away! Take him to Zhao Prison! "
Zhao Prison!
That was a place where death was certain if one entered! The moment the Grand Imperial Physician was dragged away, he shouted in panic.
"No! I was wronged! Lord Lu, save me!! "
Lord Lu, who was called out, felt his scalp go numb. He knelt there and didn't dare to say anything. In his heart, he cursed the person who had just been dragged away thousands of times!
He didn't expect that Gong Jue's gaze would fall on him.
"Sir Fu Lu, Rank 3 Guanglu …"
Gong Dai's eyes were cold as he spoke word by word, as if he was reciting something.
"In the autumn of the ninth month of the twelfth year of the Zhou calendar, in order to obtain a thousand mu of fertile land at a low price, your son killed the original owner, Li Mou, and Li Mou's son. He caused the family to be ruined and left their home to Zhao Territory. Do you think … no one knows about this matter?"
Sweat dripped from Lord Lu's head. He knew that if Gong Dai didn't have absolute evidence, he definitely wouldn't make things difficult here. Didn't he see that the Emperor didn't say anything about his decision?
Therefore, his heart suddenly thumped, and he explained as if he was on his deathbed.
"Your Highness is wise! My son … my son did it unintentionally! This official has already made it up to them! "
"Oh?" Gong Dai seemed to have heard a joke. He stood high up on the edge of the Heaven's Seeking Platform and looked at him with a smile.
"Killing the father is a mistake, but killing the other party's only son is also a mistake? Making it up to them is forcing them to have no place to stay in the capital and leave their home? Lord Lu, go to Zhao Prison. You can properly explain this to this Li's father! "
This time, Emperor Gong's gaze also became gloomy. He didn't really want to kill all of these people, but each one of them was sanctimonious. After committing such a wrong, they still dared to shamelessly boast about Mo'er's misfortune. They should also go to Zhao Prison to suffer!
So with a wave of his hand, someone immediately escorted Lord Lu away!
Gong Jue's move made everyone present feel a chill run down their spines!
In the past year, Gong Dai had actually rarely shown himself. Because he was busy with the bank, Zhao Prison was temporarily put aside.
But now, they clearly felt that the knife named Gong Dai above their heads hadn't disappeared. He was just temporarily ignoring them. Now, once they touched Gong Dai's reverse scale, this knife would become incomparably sharp! Instant Death!
When the commoners saw this scene, they wanted to cheer!
Previously, so many officials wanted to impeach GongYimo and even said that the Heavenly General phenomenon was GongYimo's responsibility. Their words carried little weight and they couldn't even get a word in!
But now, seeing those majestic and awe-inspiring officials being dragged away one by one, they only felt relieved in their hearts! They weren't so afraid of Gong Dai anymore. They even felt that he was the true impartial person. Although his methods were a little intense, it was fine as long as it was effective!
Gong Dai was silent for a moment. Many people were hoping that Gong Dai would stop, hoping that he was just dissatisfied with them targeting GongYimo and punishing them to warn the others! Now, they knew that they were wrong! Today, they would wait here for a day. They promised that they wouldn't say a word! GongYimo could be a princess whatever she wanted! They promised that they wouldn't have any objections!
But Gong Dai didn't get angry easily. Once he got angry, how could he be appeased so easily?
Punishing people to warn the others, only his soft-hearted Royal Sister would do such a thing. Since he was young, he remembered the words that his Royal Sister had unintentionally said to him. Don't make a move, keep quiet. Once you make a move, cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!
Therefore, his slightly cold ink-black eyes once again landed on a person!
"Primary third-rank Minister of the Secretariat, Lord Liu …"
That seemingly honest old man didn't seem to expect Gong Dai to call him by his name. After all, in the eyes of everyone, he was famous for being honest. Whether it was corruption, bribery, or bullying the commoners, he had never done any of it!
So he thought that he had a clear conscience and bowed to Gong Dai.
"This official is here."
Gong Jue looked at him with a smile, but the faint coldness in his eyes made him shudder.
"This prince remembers that you were born poor, right? Do you still remember where you got the money to go to the capital for the imperial examinations? "
His words surprised Lord Liu. He didn't believe that Gong Dai would be able to find out about such a thing!
For a moment, he panicked. His palms were sweaty, but he still had a trace of hope in his heart.
"Your … Your Highness, if you have something to say, please say it!"
Gong Dai raised his eyebrows slightly as he spoke slowly.
"You were born in a family of scholars in a small town in Ming County. Your parents died early, and you were poor from a young age. All of your family's income came from the child bride that your parents had arranged for you, Lady Zhao, when they were still alive. Later on, when you were successful in your studies, you wanted to go to the city to take the imperial examinations, but your family didn't have any money. In the end, it was your wife, Lady Zhao, who concealed her identity and sold herself to a brothel, that was how you earned your first money. Do you still remember this?"
