Chapter 372 Convicted
"This is a jade porcelain vase."
Yunhong glanced at Sima Jincheng and explained, then reached out and took out the wine bottle.
"Porcelain?!" Sima Jincheng immediately understood the key point. He stared at the jade porcelain bottle with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that the wine bottle in front of him was actually porcelain!
Is there such jade-like porcelain in this world? !
Also surprised were Yu Wenming and Chu Zhangyang.
"This jade porcelain bottle is nothing." Yunhong looked at them, with a smile on his lips, and continued: "The key is the wine in this jade porcelain bottle!"
"wine?!"
Yu Wenming stared at Yunhong with wide eyes, then looked at the jade porcelain bottle in disbelief and asked, "You mean the wine inside is wine?!"
Although the wine was worth a thousand gold, they also had it, and it was not beyond their expectations that Yunhong had wine in his hands.
But the emperor ordered that the purchase of wine from the Xiongnu was prohibited. If it was discovered, it would be punished as treason!
Everyone knows this purpose, but it doesn’t really have much effect. If you want to buy it in private, you can still buy it, and if you like to drink it, you should continue to drink it. It can’t be stopped at all.
But how dare Yunhong take out the wine in public? !
This is a blatant violation of the imperial decree, does he not want to live?
The identities of Yu Wenming and Yunhong were already eye-catching, but when they heard Yu Wenming's voice, everyone stood up with surprise and gathered towards this side.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Yunhong said meaningfully: "The First Prince will know if it's true or not."
Yu Wenming and Sima Jincheng looked at each other, they didn't bother to force Yunhong to drink now, but stared at the wine closely.
Once it is confirmed that the bottle is really wine, Yu Wenming will definitely let Yunhong and Chu Zhuang be taken down immediately!
Both Yunhong and Chu Zhuang dared to defy the emperor's will openly, so he wanted to see how many heads these two had!
Chu Zhuang looked at the crowd around him and raised his eyebrows. This is really an excellent promotional opportunity!
Yunhong smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the wine bottle, and opened it.
A charming aroma of wine wafted out from the mouth of the bottle, and involuntarily got into the nostrils of the people around.
Yu Wenming took a deep breath and frowned.
The aroma of this wine is indeed a bit like the wine he drank before, but the one he drank did not have such a strong aroma!
"Cousin..." Sima Jincheng realized that something was wrong, and he glanced at Yu Wenming.
Yu Wenming didn't care about anything else at all right now, staring at Yunhong's hand closely.
In fact, through the body of the bottle, the red liquid flowing inside can be vaguely seen, but before seeing the true face of Lushan wine, Yu Wenming did not dare to make a conclusion. After all, Yunhong has always been insidious and cunning. The loss is too much.
Yunhong tilted the body of the bottle, and the bright red wine lay obediently in the jade porcelain cup along the mouth of the bottle, red and white, bright in color, but unusually harmonious and beautiful.
“Really wine!”
"Young Master Yun, how dare he drink wine? Didn't the emperor make a decree that you are not allowed to buy it?"
"Senior Yun, he is openly resisting the decree!"
……
The people around looked at the wine in Yunhong's hands and started talking in low voices.
"Yun Hong respects the eldest prince!" Yun Hong picked up the wine, held it up to Yu Wenming, and immediately drank it down.
The wine was their own, and the cups were also prepared by themselves, of course Yunhong can drink it with confidence.
Yu Wenming glanced at Yunhong suspiciously, he really couldn't believe that Yunhong would directly send him to his door to seek death.
Could it be that Yunhong's head was hit, or some other conspiracy?
"Prince, do you want to try it? This wine is extremely delicious." Yunhong put down his wine glass and said to Yu Wenming.
Yu Wenming held up the wine glass suspiciously, held it in front of his nose and smelled it, and the aroma of the wine became more intense.
"Cousin, is it true?" Sima Jincheng asked immediately.
Yu Wenming pursed his lips tightly and took a sip. When he tasted the unique taste of wine, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the corners of his lips couldn't help grinning, revealing a big smile.
He originally thought that Yunhong was playing some tricks, but as long as he was sure that it was wine, no matter what tricks Yunhong was playing, he would not be afraid!
"Yunhong, you are so courageous!" Yu Wenming got rid of the smile on his face, looked at Yunhong and yelled loudly.
Yunhong naturally knew that Yu Wenming had misunderstood, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face, and asked, "Prince, I kindly invite you to drink wine. What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty Yun, Your Majesty has issued a decree before that you are not allowed to buy wine from the Xiongnu, otherwise you will be punished as treason. Don't say you don't know this decree!" Sima Jincheng saw Yu Wenming reprimanded him, knowing that he had already confirmed the wine in the cup. It was indeed wine, and immediately jumped out and accused Yunhong.
Seeing their appearance, Yunmengxi couldn't help laughing, but luckily he hid behind Chu Zhuang to watch the excitement, but no one noticed him.
"Of course I know His Majesty's will." Yun Hong nodded and said.
"You are defying the imperial decree!" Yu Wenming said with a cold snort.
"I don't dare to bear the charge of resisting the decree!" Yunhong retorted calmly.
"Heh! Now the evidence is conclusive. All of us present can prove it. What else do you need to argue!" Yu Wenming said coldly.
Sima Jincheng winked at Chu Zhangyang, and Chu Zhangyang understood it, and immediately stepped forward to pour the wine out of the bottle, then walked around in front of everyone holding the glass.
Chu Zhuang looked at Chu Zhangyang and sneered in his heart. He was taking the initiative to promote wine for them.
Everyone poked their heads out to smell the wine, and some even dipped their hands to taste it.
"It's really wine!"
"This wine tastes a little different!"
"Indeed, the taste is better..."
……
"Eldest Prince, everyone can be sure that this is wine!"
Chu Zhangyang drank the wine in one gulp with his wine glass, and said solemnly: "Zhang Yang can also guarantee it with his life, this is wine without a doubt!"
Chu Zhuang and Yunhong looked at Chu Zhangyang with disgust in their eyes.
This wine has already been poked by so many people, and he didn't think it was dirty, so he drank it directly.
"Yunhong, what else do you have to say!" Yu Wenming said, glaring at Yunhong.
"I didn't say it's not wine!" Yun Hong shook the bottle, and the aroma of the wine became more intense in the air.
"Hmph! Just admit it!"
When Yu Wenming saw Yunhong plead guilty, a ruthless arc appeared on the corners of his lips, and he waved his hand and said: "Come on! Take Yunhong and Chu Zhuang down for me!"
Today, Yunhong and Chuzhuang fell into his hands, so don't try to escape easily!
"Eldest prince, even if you are the eldest prince, you can't arrest us for no reason?" Yunhong and Chu Zhuang looked at each other, smiled, and said to Yu Wenming.
"That's right! Grand Prince, Zhuang is just a small scholar. If you use your power to arrest him, you can arrest him, but this is Prince Yun. According to the laws of Da Yue, you are not qualified to arrest him!" Chu Zhuang nodded and said.
Yunhong is the eldest son, if he is to be arrested, he must first be reported to the emperor, and then approved by the emperor, and Dali Temple will send people to arrest him.
It's not like Yu Wenming can arrest people with just one word.
"Of course my cousin knows, there's no need for you, a young scholar, to remind you!" Sima Jincheng snorted at Chu Zhuang.
Chu Zhuang shrugged his shoulders, smiled and said, "Since you know it, why did the First Prince knowingly commit such a crime? Does this mean you don't take Da Yue's laws seriously?"
Sima Jincheng was about to say something, but Yu Wenming raised his hand to stop him.
"As a prince, Da Viet Ling is naturally familiar with me!" Yu Wenming looked at Chu Zhuang. Although Chu Zhuang was just a scholar and didn't have any fame right now, he didn't dare to underestimate him.
It's not because Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi got engaged and had a relationship with the Yun family, but because Chuzhuang is a student of Yushan Academy and Gu Qi's closed disciple.
If Chu Zhuang's words are spread and the world thinks that he has arrested Chu Zhuang by force, then he will be stigmatized in the hearts of scholars all over the world for thousands of years.
"I arrested you, of course, because you and Yunhong committed a crime. Yunhong is the eldest son, and I have no right to deal with it. Naturally, I will hand him over to my father. As for you, I will hand you over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for punishment according to the law! "Yu Wenming looked at Chu Zhuang and said: "I said this, do you understand?"
"I still don't quite understand." Chu Zhuang shook his head slightly and said innocently.
"My cousin has said it so clearly, what else do you not understand!" Sima Jincheng roared angrily.
Seeing the spittle coming out of Sima Jincheng's mouth, Chu Zhuang took a step back in disgust, and then said, "We don't know what crime we have committed?"
"You guys brought this wine? Am I right?" Yu Wenming asked with a cold snort.
"That's right! Wishing you a birthday!" Yun Hong nodded and replied.
"You bought wine from the Huns, and you said you didn't commit a crime?!" Yu Wenming slapped the table heavily, and said sharply, "This is treason, and the emperor personally issued an order!"
"Who said this wine was bought from the Huns?" Yun Hong interrupted Yu Wenming and said in a cold voice.
"Uh……"
Yu Wenming was stunned for a moment, before he could react, he looked at the wine, then at Yunhong, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"I said, this wine was not bought from the Huns." Yunhong repeated calmly.
"This wine was brewed by the Huns. If someone else bought it and you bought it from the other party, both of you are guilty!" Sima Jincheng said immediately.
"That's right!" Yu Wenming nodded. If Yunhong thought he could escape by playing tricks, he would be underestimating them.
"But I made this wine myself! Is this against the law?" Yunhong looked at Yu Wenming and asked back with a smile on his lips.
