Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 988 Song Gaozong: Where are my confidants?
Zhang Bangchang!
Master!

"hiss--"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp:
My goodness, this is one of the four treacherous ministers!

Even he accused the emperor of patricide?
Most people may not know Zhang Bangchang, but how could the civil and military officials not know Zhang Bangchang?
Even among the imperial guards on and around the city, many had never met Zhang Bangchang, but had seen him from afar.

So when Emperor Gaozong of Song was furious and pointed at Zhang Bangchang and yelled "Fake, he is fake"...

"Really! That's really the Grand Tutor! To be honest, I have met the Grand Tutor and he even talked to me!"

"Say what?"

"roll!"

"That's clearly the Grand Tutor, but Your Majesty said it was fake. Could it be that Your Majesty really killed his father and brother?"

"It's hard to say! Anyway, the late emperor died in an unclear manner, and the late crown prince also died in an unclear manner, tsk tsk tsk!"

"If an emperor kills his father and brother, can he still be the emperor?"

The imperial guards on the city walls were whispering and discussing the truth about Song Gaozong's murder of his father and brother.

As for the civil and military officials, they had already believed it.

They all distanced themselves from Emperor Gaozong of Song without any prior agreement.

"It was he who forced me to invite Li Shishi, and it was he who forced me to find five martial arts candidates to be assassins..."

Zhang Bangchang decided to be a tainted witness, and at this time he began to spare no effort to expose Song Gaozong:
"Zhao Gou, the Prince of Guangping, was dissatisfied with the late emperor's taking back the throne, so he decided to assassinate the late emperor and the crown prince!
"Zhao Gou! You are not worthy of being an emperor!

"HE-TUI!"

"slander!"

Song Gaozong looked around and saw the distant and contemptuous eyes of the civil and military officials. The child was completely panicked:

"He is slandering me! He is slandering me!"

Don’t you know whether it is slander or not?

The civil and military officials are not fools. In fact, there is no need for evidence. Song Gaozong's panic has already explained everything.

"Dissatisfied?"

Liu Gao laughed: "I'll give you another piece of evidence!"

Any evidence?

Song Gaozong couldn't believe his ears. He had always thought it was a secret...

Feng Mei didn't dare to step forward, and cautiously shrank back, standing with Hua Rong to seek profit and avoid harm.

Hua Rong holds military power, so it will never be wrong to stand with Hua Rong.

However, to his surprise, Hua Rong stood up and shouted:
“I can testify to that, too!
"When the late emperor was assassinated, Zhao Gou suddenly ran into my military camp and asked me to protect him back to the palace!

“I had my suspicions about him at the time, and later I discovered that he had secretly asked Feng Mei to mobilize a thousand troops!
"These 1,000 men are used to surround and kill those five martial arts candidates!
"Feng Mei can testify!"

What a bolt from the blue!

Feng Mei was stunned at the time: No, I hid, can’t you gods let me go when you fight?
Hua Rong reminded him quietly: "He is doomed now. If you don't testify, will you be buried with him?"

Right!

Feng Mei shuddered: It is now obvious that Zhao Gou has fallen, and I must draw a clear line between myself and Zhao Gou!

"I can testify!"

Feng Mei, who had just shrunk back, stood up again:

"It was His Majesty who asked me to surround and kill those five martial arts candidates!

"Your Majesty wants to kill people to silence them!"

"you--"

Song Gaozong hurriedly grabbed the battlement with both hands, but was stabbed in the back one after another, making it difficult for him to stand.

“The evidence is irrefutable and the case is as solid as a rock!

"Zhao Gou, you are an unfilial son who killed his father and brother. What else do you have to say?"

Liu Gao righteously accused Song Gaozong and then turned to ask the Privy Councilor Wang Fu:
"Wang Shumi, didn't you just say that those who kill their fathers and brothers should be executed?"

Wang Fu's face turned green and he subconsciously looked at Cai Jing.

Cai Jing lowered his eyes, his expression dim, and shook his head slightly, as if intentionally or unintentionally. You bastard!
Wang Fu knew that he could not count on anyone at this time, and seeing Song Gaozong's cowardly look, he knew that he could not save the country...

Gritting his teeth and glaring, Wang Fu hardened his heart:

"Yes, that's what I said!

"Those who kill their fathers and brothers should be executed!"

"Do not--"

Song Gaozong almost cried: "My dear Lord Wang, I have been very kind to you!"

Wang Fu turned his face away: It’s not that thick, right?
"Master Cai!"

Liu Gao directed his attack at Cai Jing who was pretending to be deaf and dumb:
"Should those who kill their fathers and brothers be executed?"

This time Cai Jing couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, but fortunately he didn't have much choice in the current situation.

Cai Jing coughed dryly and said, "He should be executed!"

"Do not--"

Song Gaozong was almost going crazy: "Grandmaster, you must believe me!
"I didn't kill my father! I didn't kill my brother!"

Cai Jing shook his head and sighed without saying a word.

"Did you hear everything?"

Liu Gao was afraid that some people could not hear Cai Jing's voice, so he used "tiger, leopard and thunder sound" to emphasize:
"Wang Shumi said that Zhao Gou should be executed for killing his father and brother!
"Grand Tutor Cai also said that Zhao Gou should be executed for killing his father and brother!
"Marshal Zhong and I also believe that Zhao Gou should be executed for killing his father and brother. What about you?
"Those who think Zhao Gou should be executed for killing his father and brother can raise their right arms and shout that he should be executed!
"Let me hear your voice of justice!"

As soon as Liu Gao finished speaking, Zhong Shidao immediately took the lead and raised his right arm, shouting:

"He should be killed! He should be killed! He should be killed!"

The hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers they brought were all arranged, so they all raised their right arms and shouted:
"He should be killed--he should be killed--"

On the city gate tower, Hua Rong took the lead without hesitation and shouted:
"Be punished!"

While waving his arms and shouting, Hua Rong winked at Feng Mei.

Feng Mei quickly followed suit and shouted:

"Be punished!"

One of them, the palace guard commander-in-chief and the other one, the deputy palace guard-in-chief, took the lead in raising their arms and shouting, and their trusted subordinates also raised their arms and shouted, so naturally the imperial guards on the city wall followed suit.

So the two hundred thousand imperial guards in and around the city raised their arms and shouted:

"He should be killed--he should be killed--"

When so many voices come together, it is like a tsunami, resounding through the sky!
The civil and military officials looked at each other, and gradually some of them raised their arms and shouted "execution".

The trend is unstoppable!

It's over...

Song Gaozong's legs went weak and he rolled off the young eunuch's back. There was no eunuch to help him up.

Cai Jing, Yang Jian, and Wang Fu exchanged glances, all considering who to promote next.

Anyway, no matter which prince takes the throne, their status will be...

Wait! It seems there is no prince anymore!

When Jin Wushu entered Tokyo, he sent away many princes in one wave, and the rest were also sent away by Song Gaozong...

There is no one left in the royal family!
At this time, Liu Gao felt that the atmosphere was right, so he raised his hand.

Zhang Baowangheng immediately crossed the flags. Seeing the signal, the hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers under the city shut up.

Hua Rong also saw the secret signal and immediately waved the command flag in his hand, and the Song army on the city gradually quieted down.

Is he so good at speaking?
Cai Jing, Yang Jian, and Wang Fu looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at Liu Gao under the city, only to see Liu Gao shouting:
"Zhao Gou killed his father and brother, he should be executed!

"The sun is shining, the sun is shining, who will help me take his head?"

"I come!"

Hua Rong shouted without hesitation, drew the sword at his waist, and strode towards Song Gaozong.

Song Gaozong collapsed to the ground, his face pale with shock, and he shouted hurriedly:

"Where is my confidant?"
