Chapter 423 Filled with Indignation
Chapter 423 Filled with Indignation
Moreover, Qin Zhongting is a veteran of the regime, so he can't lie to himself about something like this. Besides, if this gets out, it won't be good for Qin Zhongting's daughter, Qin Luoshen.
So the Emperor's brows furrowed: "Chen Er, you have disappointed me greatly. How could you do such a thing? Did you even consider how much torture this would be for a woman?" the Emperor said angrily.
Chen Er laughed immediately. He didn't even glance at the Emperor. Instead, he turned his head and stared intently at Qin Zhongting. At that moment, Qin Zhongting kept his head on the ground, not daring to meet Chen Er's gaze. This was because Qin Zhongting was afraid that the Emperor would notice something amiss.
Qin Zhongting did this out of necessity, because he had known that Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had a good relationship.
Moreover, after Chen Er joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard without hesitation, Qin Zhongting had long regarded Chen Er as a thorn in his side. Even in his dreams, Qin Zhongting wanted to strangle Chen Er to death.
This shows just how angry Qin Zhongting was with Chen Er. Besides, he didn't want his daughter to be with Chen Er anymore, because Chen Er had already offended Wei Zhongxian without anyone noticing. Good heavens, after offending Wei Zhongxian, would Chen Er still have a good life?
Therefore, Qin Zhongting couldn't bear to see his daughter live a life of widowhood, which is why he said those words today. Qin Zhongting's words made Chen Er sneer. Chen Er looked at Qin Zhongting and then calmly said...
"Lord Qin Zhongting, you actually claim that I forcibly took Qin Luoshen as my own? What evidence do you have, or any witnesses or physical evidence? Should we call Qin Luoshen in for a face-to-face confrontation?"
Chen Er had no idea that Qin Zhongting hated him to the core, not only smearing him but also not letting Qin Luoshen off the hook.
Did Qin Zhongting realize how bad it would be for Qin Luoshen's reputation if he said this? But right now, Qin Zhongting seemed completely unconcerned.
In Qin Zhongting's mind, as long as he could kill Chen Er, he would not care even if he had to expose the truth. Therefore, Qin Zhongting hated Chen Er to the core.
After hearing this, Han Zhang understood what was going on. After all, even if he wanted to punish Chen Er, he needed evidence. Besides, the emperor really didn't want to punish Chen Er, since if Chen Er hadn't caught Zhao Tianming and raided so many small treasuries...
"Then even the Emperor of this Great Ming Dynasty must be worried about money," the Emperor said, looking at Qin Zhongting with a serious expression.
"Qin Zhongting, get up first. Stop crying. What evidence do you have? Bring it all out. I will definitely stand up for you. I don't tolerate any nonsense. Don't think that just because Chen Er has just made a contribution, or that even if Chen Er is a high-ranking general, he is no different from an ordinary person if he makes a mistake."
The emperor's voice also began to turn cold.
At first, the Emperor had a good impression of Chen Er, but now that he heard Qin Zhongting say this, he realized that Chen Er was just like Zhao Tianming. Since he had also forcibly taken Qin Luoshen as his own, and Qin Luoshen was not an ordinary person's daughter, but Qin Zhongting's daughter, how could the Emperor not be furious?
It was clear that Chen Er disregarded the rules of the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, Zhao Tianming, kneeling on the ground, stared straight at Chen Er. Although Zhao Tianming did not speak, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: he was deliberately mocking Chen Er.
It was as if he were saying, "You little brat, you were so arrogant with me just now, how come now? You're about to die, and I guess you'll be joining me in a bit." But Chen Er didn't care at all. Anyway, Chen Er really wanted to see what kind of evidence Qin Zhongting would produce today.
Qin Zhongting stood up from the ground and glanced at the doorway. He clapped his hands vigorously, and two guards with swords brought in a maid. Chen Er recognized the maid. When Chen Er saw her, he was startled and had a bad feeling.
Because this maid is Qin Luoshen's personal maid, and she has grown up with Qin Luoshen. Ever since Qin Luoshen and Chen Er sat together, this maid has come to take care of Qin Luoshen and Chen Er. Chen Er Ye never expected that this maid would come here.
"Xiaoqing, what brings you here? Did you come here on purpose to testify against me?" Chen Er wasn't stupid. The moment he saw Xiaoqing, he knew that Qin Zhongting must have been prepared long ago to bring him down.
At this moment, Xiaoqing didn't dare to look Chen Er in the eye at all. She was forced into this situation because if she didn't agree, and Qin Zhongting came in and identified Chen Er, her parents' lives would be in danger next month. Xiaoqing knelt down on the ground, trembling.
At this moment, Qin Zhongting looked at Xiaoqing with a face full of anger: "Xiaoqing, tell me everything you saw. With me here, no one will dare to touch you." Qin Zhongting's voice was very cold, which made Xiaoqing shiver involuntarily.
Xiaoqing, the maid, burst into tears, whether from fear or from excessive pressure.
“I told you not to cry. Just tell me what's wronged you. The Emperor is here anyway, and he will surely help you get over this. Besides, that's how our Ming Dynasty is. We won't wrong an innocent person, nor will we tolerate a villain.” Wei Zhongxian added fuel to the fire.
Xiaoqing dared not remain silent any longer and spoke up immediately: "Your Majesty, it was last month when I accidentally wandered into the young master's room. I saw him actually hugging the young lady from behind when she wasn't paying attention, and the young lady was taking a bath at the time." Xiaoqing lied without batting an eye.
Of course, this sentence should be what Qin Zhongting taught Xiaoqing to say, which was to kill Chen Er. When Chen Er heard Xiaoqing's words, he immediately looked up to the sky and roared.
Qin Zhongting has absolutely no shame. Chen Er vowed in his heart that he would make Qin Zhongting pay a heavy price today, no matter what.
Even if Qin Zhongting is Qin Luoshen's biological father, he shouldn't do this, throwing mud at himself. So now, Chen Erhong looked at Qin Zhongting with a cold smile.
