After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 97 Impeach myself (Part [-])
Little Wen is very busy.

The dowry has to be made up quickly, and she is not doing it for others, but for her own life.

When I moved away, I didn't think it was too much, but now when it's time to return it, I found that it was so overwhelming that she couldn't breathe.

Facing the list, she first moved back all the dowries of Chen Man in her warehouse.

Old Mrs. Han had a sullen face, and for the sake of her son's life, she had no choice but to part with the pain, and returned all that should be returned in her treasury.

Xiao Wen went back to the Marquis of Yongping to look for her aunt and concubine, but unfortunately she didn't get anything and was ridiculed.

Little Wen's heart turned cold again.

In the face of money and money interests, any blood relationship, blood is thicker than water, is false.

She was no longer polite to them, and said in a cold voice, "Since you know that the prince came to count the dowry, then I am not afraid of embarrassing myself. The prince said that if the dowry can't be made up, it's not just me who fills in the dowry alone." Enough is enough. Since my aunt and fourth brother have shared the spoils, don't even try to get away with it."

Scared like this, they took out some from their hands, but compared to what Little Wen sent back, it was much less.

Aunt Huang was over fifty years old, with a miserable face, "That's all, the other ones your father liked, gave me some money, and took them away."

"Father?" Little Wen's face changed, "Did he keep it for himself, or did he give it away?"

"I do not know then……"

Little Wen's eyes turned scorched.

Her father is her last reliance, as long as her father comes back to support him, she still has hope.

But if the father took out the things and gave them to someone else, it would be a big trouble...

Han Rui and Liu Zhifu were arrested and put into the prison of Dali Temple, and they were tortured that day, and the news soon reached Emperor Qingming's ears.

After all, Han Rui is the younger brother of Ding Guogong, and Liu Zhifu is also the prefect of the capital government. His status is higher than that of the local magistrate, and he has to go to court every day.

On the morning of the second day, Emperor Qingming asked Zhao Chen.

Together with Zhao Yin, Zhao Chen was at the front of the court.

He started from the Qingchun Tower, then went to the fire in the Rose Garden, then to the dowry list, and finally to Chen Man's little dowry left.

Zhao Chen copied a copy of the dowry list in Han Youning's hand, and read it in public.

The courtiers were dumbfounded. They had heard about the richness of the Chen family, but they were so rich!

They know that human nature is greedy, but some people are so greedy!

So many good things, let the second room occupy them all, and almost killed someone to cover them up?Really brave!

Aren't they afraid that Ding Guogong will end up with nothing if he finds out?
Luo Shangshu was the first to speak out, "Report to the emperor, I have something to play..."

Emperor Qingming held the dowry list presented by Zhao Chen in his hand, with a look of anger on his face.

He said, "Luo Aiqing, please tell me."

Luo Shangshu knelt down tremblingly on the ground, he cupped his dental cards in both hands and said, "I want to impeach you."

Emperor Qingming frowned, "Who is it that Luo Aiqing impeached, making you want to impeach on your knees?"

He glanced around the court hall, and paused for a moment on Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was dressed in a brocade robe with turmeric dragon descending and cloud pattern, with a straight figure and unmoving expression.He could see that his father was suspicious of him.

For the princes and uncles, if there is any behavior that is different from the usual, the father will notice it and suspect it in his heart.

The royal family has no father and son, which has always been the case.

But this Luo Shangshu's recent behavior is really unusual, and it doesn't seem to be his usual style.

Luo Shangshu cupped his hands and said, "It is Luo Cunrui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War that I impeached."

Looking at each other with hundreds of officials, impeaching himself?
Could it be that Luo Shangshu is getting old and confused?
Luo Shangshu continued, "I impeached Luo Cunrui, accepted bribes, corrupted the law!"

Emperor Qingming remained expressionless, "Luo Aiqing just impeached Marquis Yongping for accepting bribes a few days ago, why is he impeaching himself now?"

"When Han Rui was a doctor in the Ministry of War, he once sent a piece of "Sunset Picture" by Master Xuanzhi to my minister, but the minister dared not accept it. He said it was just a fake. But I just heard His Royal Highness read the dowry list and found out. It’s clearly the dowry of the Duke’s wife. Master Xuanzhi’s original work is priceless, and this humble minister has committed a heinous crime!”

Emperor Qingming said in a gentle tone, "Those who don't know are innocent, you can get away with it. But the painting, I'm afraid it will be returned to its original owner."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The servants on duty will return the "Sunset Picture" to Dingguo's mansion with their own hands."

However, Luo Shangshu did not return it to the list after he got up. He continued, "I heard from Han Rui that Yongpinghou once took Master Xuanzhi's calligraphy and painting to look for Mr. Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Mr. Zhong also accepted it. Afterwards, Mr. Zhong So I came to Weichen to discuss the matter of promoting Han Rui to the left servant of the Ministry of War. But I don't know whether those calligraphy and paintings are fakes or real ones..."

A fat man in a purple official uniform came out and glared, "Lord Luo, don't spit blood on people!"

Luo Shangshu held his big sleeves, and said unhurriedly, "Master Zhong, you should think it over before you say it. The emperor also said that those who don't know are innocent, but if you know it and refuse to admit it, it will be different."

Zhong Shangshu hesitated.

But Marquis Yongping didn't dare to offend easily. He was the second minister in the cabinet, and no one could easily shake him in court, not to mention covering the sky with his hands.

Now it is clear that someone is going to touch Yongpinghou, but in case he is not brought down, we will settle the score after the autumn...

Luo Shangshu continued, "Now Han Rui is in the prison of Dali Temple. This is a serious crime involving murder and arson. It is impossible to say who he will confess to in the first trial to reduce his crime."

Emperor Qingming supported the dragon case with both hands, his face was solemn and majestic, "Luo Aiqing's words are justified."

Zhong Shangshu saw that the emperor said so, and he didn't care about Yongpinghou, so he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I report to the emperor, Yongpinghou gave me three calligraphy and paintings, saying that they were imitations. I believed it was true, thinking that they were all from the same dynasty. As an official, it's not easy to refuse to refute his face..."

He observed the emperor's expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "The Marquis of Yongping also gave me two jade ornaments. He said they were ordinary items found at roadside stalls, and they didn't cost a few taels of silver. But listen, it seems to be a dowry list. on things."

As soon as Zhong Shangshu finished speaking, another seven or eight officials came out one after another, kneeling tremblingly to plead guilty.

Without exception, they all received gifts from the Marquis of Yongping, which sounded like they were on the dowry list.

They understood that if they said it at this time, they could still get a voluntary confession, and if they let Dali Temple follow the clues and invite them to interrogate, then their official career would basically come to an end.Can't say, life is over.

Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple was stunned, you fools, you were tricked by that old fox Luo Shangshu!Marquis Yongping sent you off, how could Han Rui know?
Those dowries passed through Han Rui's hands, but there were not many of them, and the rest were all returned to their mother's house by Mrs. Han and Xiao Wen!

Emperor Qingming looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and was furious.

"Marquis Yongping, very good, very good!"

This is just a result of the dowry list, a magistrate of the Kyoto yamen, ten important court officials, is it on the dowry list?
The Marquis of Yongping is afraid that he has controlled the entire court!
"Where is Yongpinghou, and when will he enter Beijing?"

Zhao Chen said, "Father, I should have disembarked at the wharf of Futai Town by this time, and will enter Beijing in the afternoon."

"After entering Beijing, let him enter the palace!"
