Chapter 736

Gao Yang arched his hands and said to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes paused, somewhat surprised.

She didn't expect Gao Yang to admit it just like that. Once this matter is admitted, it's not very good for Gao Yang!

But she was not panicked either.

A smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face!

Gao Yang actually admitted it, so the matter is easy to handle. This is a crime of accepting tens of thousands of taels; how can this be washed away?

This was not in vain for the huge price he paid!

Tonight, I will revel in the Rouge Pavilion with Mr. Chen!

He took a step forward and sprayed directly, "Lord Gao, what about your slander and defamation? What about your clean and honest officialdom and your principles?"

"Your Majesty trusts you so much and entrusts you with important tasks, but Lord Gao has failed Your Majesty and done such heartbreaking things. How does this make Your Majesty think, and how can the scholars of the world regard Lord Gao as a role model?"

The more Wang Zhong spoke, the more excited he became. He finally caught this opportunity; today he would wash away his shame and vent the evil anger in his heart!

But at this time, Gao Yang stretched out a palm and made a stop gesture to Wang Zhong. He interrupted, "Old General Wang, Censor Yan, wait a moment!"

"Although I agreed to them and accepted the money, how does this violate the principles I strictly adhere to?"

"I feel that the two do not conflict!"

As soon as these words came out.

Wang Zhong and Yan Zheng looked at each other, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes!

Clearly, they were shocked by Gao Yang's shameless words.

"Lord Gao, you don't consider this a violation of the principles you strictly adhere to as an official, failing Your Majesty's trust?"

"How do these two not conflict?"

Yan Zheng felt a sense of unease in his heart, his gaze staring straight at Gao Yang.

Wu Zhao's gaze moved, and a smile appeared on her face.

This Gao Yang...

She picked up another piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.

Gao Yang faced Yan Zheng and Wang Zhong and said directly, "I dare to ask Censor Yan and Old General Wang: what is accepting bribes, and what is a corrupt official?"

"Naturally, it is taking money to handle affairs, disregarding the laws of the imperial court, deceiving those above and below—this is a corrupt official!"
