Early in the morning, it was the time for the emperor to ascend to the throne room. At dawn, the ministers were arranged in order to enter the throne room!

At this moment, among the ministers, there was one minister with wrinkles all over his face. His face had a lot of age spots on it, which made him particularly eye-catching.

As for the other ministers around him, some of them were whispering to each other while others were pointing at him from behind. However, this minister that was excluded by the crowd lowered his eyes and looked on, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him!

The deacon eunuch called out: "Your Majesty! This is an audience! " As they sounded out, these ministers immediately stopped whispering. They first arranged their appearances, then under the lead of the deacon eunuch, they entered the throne room.

The minister who had been excluded earlier had also been confused as he entered the throne room. However, there was still some distance between him and the others. It was as if he had a plague on his body. Everyone had taken the initiative to avoid him.

After entering the throne room, the ministers bowed. Wang Mang swept his gaze across the ministers with a very courteous gaze. When he saw the minister that had been isolated by the crowd, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes! But then he regained his composure.

When all the ministers came forward to report, Wang Scholar was the first to step forward. After he handed over the report, he glared at the excluded minister with a resentful look, and a trace of a proud smile even appeared on his face.

Wang Mang took the imperial report and casually flipped through it. After taking a look at Wang Shishi and the official who had been excluded, his eyes finally fixed on the official who had been rejected by everyone!

Then Wang Mang said, "Chen Chong!"

When the official excluded by the crowd heard Wang Mang's voice, he immediately knelt and said: "Your Majesty, this humble subject is here! May I know what your majesty has instructed me to do? "

Seeing Chen Chong kneel, Wang Mang threw the imperial student's imperial report in front of Chen Chong, and then coldly said, "Take a look for yourself! See what you've done! "

"This humble subject obeys the decree!" When Chen Chong heard the obvious change in Wang Mang's tone, he wasn't frightened at all. Instead, he calmly picked up the imperial report and started reading it seriously!

"Chen Chong, what else do you have to say?" After Chen Chong picked up the imperial report and read it a couple of times, Wang Mang directly asked Chen Chong!

"This humble subject has nothing to say!" Chen Chong closed the imperial report. Then, he had an indifferent expression, as if all of this had nothing to do with him!

"You plead guilty, then?" After Wang Mang heard Chen Chong's words, a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes, so his tone became a little hurried!

"This humble official is innocent!" Chen Chong still had a stupefied expression on his face. However, these four words that came out of his mouth made him seem very confident!

"Humph!" Chen Chong! This old man has searched for you for three years, and now that the evidence is conclusive, you are already on the verge of death. I advise you to quickly confess and avoid physical pain! " At this moment, the student who handed over the imperial report couldn't sit still any longer. Before Wang Mang could say anything, he had already started running towards Chen Chong!

Wang Mang glanced at him with some displeasure in his eyes, but Wang Mang didn't say anything. He wanted to see just how these two would fight!

"May I ask Sir Wang if you said that the evidence is conclusive? Let me ask you, did you personally see all of this evidence?" When Chen Chong saw Wang Shishi jump out, his interest was piqued. A trace of coldness flashed through his originally cloudy eyes. Then, he directly rebutted in a loud voice: "Wang Shishi!"

"This, this old man …" Upon hearing Chen Chong's question, Wang Shishi didn't know how to respond. Honestly speaking, he had never personally seen such evidence. He had only heard his subordinate's report about it before writing it down in a report. Now that he was questioned, he was left speechless!

"Your majesty Wang, we must catch a pair of villains, catch the thief and get the dirt!" Seeing is believing, hearing is not! Do you really need this old one to teach you such simple logic? " When Chen Chong saw that his question had stopped, he felt like he was hitting a snake with a stick. Then, he saw what had happened earlier to provoke his disciple!

"Chen Chong!" This old man will not argue with you! Everyone in the field knows that your mouth is the teeth of green bamboo, the sting of a wasp's tail! This old man will ask you now, are you admitting or not! " Wang Xiusheng was also provoked by Chen Chong's words. He was almost humiliated to the point of not being able to show his face, so he changed the topic.

"Confess! Hehe … "Lord Wang, let's talk about the crimes in the imperial report. Take a look at what crimes this old one has committed!" As he said this, Chen Chong opened the imperial report. As he opened the imperial report, he glanced sideways at Wang Mang, and discovered that Wang Mang had an expression of great interest. Fine, since this emperor wants me to fight, then let's fight. Today, if I'm not his disciple, then I, Chen Chong, will die!

Thinking of this, Chen Chong narrowed his eyes as he looked at the first piece of evidence. Then, he said in a slow and leisurely manner, "Sir Wang, the first piece of evidence is that this old man wanted to form a personal faction and plan a rebellion! This old one has been ill since five years ago, and in the past few years, there have been few people who have come to my doorstep.

"You are not forming a clique with the ministers in the imperial court, you are colluding with the disorderly parties!" After hearing Chen Chong's question, Wang Shishi calmed himself down and thought back to his previous subordinate's report. He was now confident enough to answer Chen Chong's question!

"Chaos!" Lord Wang, let me ask you, who did you find out I was colluding with? Did you catch those people? " Chen Chong was as calm as ever. He rebutted Wang Shisheng with a question without any rest!

"Those people are in your house and in your feudal fiefdom! They are all at your command, recruiting men and horses! Your intention is to rebel! " At this moment, Wang Scholar's saliva was flying everywhere. He directly tapped Chen Chong's nose and began the battle!

"Lord Wang!" I have only recruited fourteen hanger-ons, and these fourteen men are in charge of managing the various matters within my fiefdom. They have indeed recruited five hundred of my village men to protect my fief's peace, and I live in the third rank of my official residence. According to the new law, I can recruit six hundred people to protect my fiefdom! I came here on His Majesty's orders, how did this become a conspiracy? According to the law, your land can only have five hundred village men. But in reality, you have recruited five hundred and twenty village men, a total of twenty people. Lord Wang, what kind of punishment are you going to take? " When Chen Chong saw Wang Shishi point his finger at him and start the fight, his eyes widened.

Then, Chen Chong spoke these words with an awe-inspiring tone. His voice was abnormally high and the following words were like a roar, causing the faces of the other ministers in the throne room, including Wang Shishi, to turn ashen!
