Chapter 187 "Master Xiaozuo" Emperor Zhengcang was about to turn around and walk towards the inner hall below the stage.
Unexpectedly, he heard Zuo Chi's voice again.
He looked back at Zuo Chi in confusion and said: "Master Xiao Zuo, the matter you requested just now has been completed, what else do you have to report?"
When Emperor Zhengcang was confused, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zuo Yuanfeng, who was standing upright.
Seeing that there was no trace of surprise on Zuo Yuanfeng's face, he knew that Zuo Yuanfeng must be well aware of the inside story and had already known that his son had something else going on.
Before it was over, I couldn’t help but wonder: What else is going on between these two father and son, singing and harmonizing?
After hearing this, Zuo Chi straightened his body and walked forward, bowed his hands and bowed, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report.
Please listen to what I have to say before you leave the court."
"Oh" Emperor Zhengcang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Looking at Zuo Chi's unquestionable face, he thought that General Zuo was also facing up at this moment, so it was hard to brush his face.
Although he didn't know what Zuo Chi was going to do next.
What to say, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to listen.
So Emperor Zhengcang returned to sit on the dragon chair, looked at Zuo Chi who was standing upright in the audience and said: "Master Xiaozuo, there are a lot of things going on today.
Please tell me what happened that makes you unwilling to let me go back to rest at this moment."
"I don't dare.
However, the matter is very important at this time, and I don't dare to hide it.
I also ask the emperor to forgive me."
Zuo Chi said.
Emperor Zhengcang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't blame you, just say it."
"Yes."
Zuo Chi said.
Then he turned and looked back at Dou Ba.
Seeing this, Dou Ba nodded, then walked forward and stood beside Zuo Chi, knelt down and said: "Please ask the emperor to make decisions for the common people."
Emperor Zhengcang was stunned when he heard this.
His body also leaned forward a little, and he said as if he was dissatisfied: "Dou Ba, could it be that you are dissatisfied with the decision I made just now?"
When Dou Ba heard this, he kowtowed with neither humility nor arrogance, and then said: "The common people's ability to restore their name is all due to the emperor's kindness today.
There will be no dissatisfaction among the common people asking the emperor to make the decision.
It is not because of the injustice they suffered two years ago and they fled."
"Oh" Emperor Zhengcang sat back in confusion upon hearing this.
He leaned back on the chair and looked at Dou Ba and asked: "Since you said it was not about being wronged for two years, then what exactly did you do?"
At this time, Zuo Chi, who was beside Dou Ba, took a step forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty.
What Dou Ba is talking about is actually to sue one person in court, one to exchange death row prisoners privately, and to use these death row prisoners to test poison.
And to deceive the emperor."
"What are you talking about?
There is such a thing in this world like exchanging death row prisoners privately to test medicine on one's own body to deceive the king."
Emperor Zhengcang was shocked and angry when he heard this.
Zuo Chi nodded and saw that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty looked like Emperor Zhengcang, so he glanced at Dou Ba beside him, then turned to Emperor Zhengcang and said: "Your Majesty, if this were not the case, Dou Ba would have been executed on the spot in Tuzhou a month ago.
How could he have waited until today to avenge his injustice?"
"Yes."
"Master Xiaozuo is right."
"Dou Ba is still alive, so the memorial he came to Tuzhou to report must be false."
As soon as Zuo Chi said this.
The surrounding fellow officials all agreed.
Now that Dou Ba is standing in front of them alive and well, there is something fishy about Dou Ba's execution which caused a sensation a month ago.
I'm afraid the person in charge at the time did something.

But situations like what Zuo Chi said are unheard of.
Emperor Zhengcang had obviously thought of this.
After a moment of reflection, he straightened up and said: "Master Xiao Zuo, the person you are talking about cannot be" "That's right, Your Majesty, the person I said before that Dou Ba wants to sue is the current governor of Tuzhou, Song Yuqiu."
Zuo Chi raised his head and said after hearing this.
"Song Yuqiu" Whether it was Emperor Zhengcang sitting on the dragon throne on the stage or the many courtiers standing under the stage, they were all shocked when they heard this, and the exclamations continued.
"Mr.
Song Yuqiu, Xiao Zuo, the people you are telling me have higher official positions than the last.
I would like to know, since you said that Song Yuqiu privately exchanged death row prisoners to test medicine, it must be an extremely secretive matter, and you are How do you know?"
Emperor Zhengcang asked calmly upon hearing this, his tone no longer as surprised as before.
Zuo Chi immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as we all know, Dali Temple sent ministers to Hei'an Town to investigate the case.
I followed the clues to Chongyang Academy in Tuzhou.
By chance, I had a dispute with Song Yuqiu's son, Song Hao, which alarmed Governor Song.
So Governor Song invited me It was no coincidence that I went to the Song Mansion as a guest and my minister discovered the secret. " "What a coincidence.
I didn't know that Mr.
Xiao Zuo is so good at discovering other people's secrets by chance."
Emperor Zhengcang said in an incomprehensible tone.
Zuo Yuanfeng's heart tightened when he heard this, secretly thinking that the emperor might have become suspicious as they had expected.
However, Zuo Chi was not afraid in the face of danger, and said calmly as before: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong.
It is true that the sky net is vast and not leaking out.
As long as it is illegal, any minister who finds any clues will definitely investigate it to the end.
In this way, he will live up to the name of the Divine Catcher given by the Emperor."
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang stared at Zuo Chi silently.
Seeing Zuo Chi's resolute face, he feared that he would not give up until his goal was achieved, but in the end he still loved his nephew, so he softened his heart and said: "If that's the case, what evidence do you have?"
"Back to the emperor, Dou Ba is the certificate," Zuo Chi replied immediately.
Emperor Zhengcang didn't expect Zuo Chi to say this.
Even so, he couldn't refute it.
If it wasn't for what Zuo Chi said, how could Dou Ba come back to life?
The whole court was shocked, but also the whole court was quiet.
Everyone, including Zuo Chi and Dou Ba in the center of the hall, were waiting for Emperor Zhengcang's next words.
However, Emperor Zhengcang has yet to see any action.
The expression on Emperor Zhengcang's face was hidden under the swaying bead curtain, making it impossible to distinguish and could only secretly guess.
And this speculation has become uneasy because of the passage of time.
No one knows what will happen next.
Dou Ba saw that Emperor Zhengcang remained silent and refused to come to a conclusion, so he looked at Zuo Chi next to him uneasily.
Seeing that Zuo Chi was no longer as confident as before and was still frowning, he knew that things might have changed.
Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The emperor's power was always unpredictable.
If they were not careful, they would not be able to win over Song Yuqiu, but would harm themselves instead, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Although I care about him and Princess Chunyang, I won't do anything to Zuo Chi, but once I lose trust in the emperor's heart, Zuo Chi's future career will be While everyone was secretly trying to figure out what Emperor Zhengcang was thinking at this time, they heard Emperor Zhengcang's tone of voice being light, and he stood up and said without being happy or angry: "I'm tired.
We can discuss this later.
Please step aside."
After saying that, he went straight to the inner hall.
Zuo Chi narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and immediately said loudly regardless of it: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I have one more thing that I would like to ask Your Majesty to see in person":
