"Right prime minister, you're indeed good at acting, but I won't only depend on this kind of evidence to accuse you." Zhao Shi Cheng turned to face the emperor. "Your majesty, can I summon another witness?"

The emperor nodded his head with a black face. Soon afterwards, Lu You walked in.

Many officials in the imperial court recognized Lu You. After all, he was the capital's number one gifted scholar and also a key figure in the imperial court in the future. If it were not for the fact that he failed the exam this time, maybe he would have already worked as an official in the imperial court with them. Hence, when they saw him appear, everyone was really puzzled.

After Lu You greeted the emperor, he explained in a deep voice. "This commoner can testify that the plot to promote Zhao Shi Cheng as the magistrate and then make it so that he could no longer serves as the magistrate and thereby defeat Great General Zhao was suggested to the right prime minister by this commoner. It's just that this commoner didn't realize that right prime minister would actually heartlessly sacrifice the scribe and the palace caller's life for the sake of pushing Zhao Daren to a wall so this commoner became scared. That's why this commoner gave up on the exam and wanted to flee from the capital. Fortunately, Zhao Daren persuaded me sincerely and only then did this commoner have the courage to come and accuse the right prime minister, or else you won't know exactly how many people suffered from his murderous scheme!" After he said this, he took a piece of warm jade. There was even the Yang family's family emblem engraved in the jade.

The people who knew Yang Wen Chang all know that only his trusted aides possessed this jade. Furthermore, the people who have this jade didn't exceed ten people. As a result, Lu You's testimony was quite credible.

Even so, Yang Wen Chang remained composed and said, "Reporting to his majesty, this official doesn't know Lu You and also doesn't know who gave the warm jade in Lu You's possession to him. These people deceived his superiors and dupe his subordinates. They did so many things behind this official's back. Maybe someone wanted to curry favor with this official, but this official doesn't really know."

After he said this, he glanced at a certain direction on the imperial court from the corner of his eyes.

Before long, Civil Official Lin walked out from amidst the official's in the imperial court. He kneeled down and said with hoarsely, "Reporting to his majesty, this official is guilty."

"What crime are you guilty of?" There was so many people accusing Yang Wen Chang that it nearly drove the emperor insane. This tactless Civil Official Lin actually got in on the action at this time, causing the emperor to be even more vexed.

Civil Official Lin lowered his head and said shamefully, "The things that right prime minister was accused of just now was all this official's doing. This official gave Lu You's jade, but only because this official thought that Lu You was a talented individual and wanted him enter right prime minister's mentorship. It was also this official, who demanded private advisor Cao to do work under the pretense of right prime minister's orders and Iron Gate fort was also supported by this official alone. It's just that this official used right prime minister's reputation to intimidate them. This official wholeheartedly only wanted to help the right prime minister establish a force that was able to withstand the military officials' suppression. The right prime minister really didn't know about these matters..."

Yang Wen Chang sneered coldly in his heart, yet on the surface, he had a grievous appearance. "Civil Official Lin, you're too foolish! Although you did it for the sake of this prime minister, but doing bad things is still wrong. This prime minister is also unable to protect you!" After he said this, he turned to Zhao Shi Cheng again.
