Compared with the small milk bag, she was favored by seven uncles

Some people began to complain about Shangshufu, saying that Ji Youzhi did not have this right.

"Everyone, don't judge like this, there is a problem here!"

Dr. Xu is not an idiot. He has taught in the Imperial College for many years, and he can see through everything.

"Dr. Xu's entire speech?"

Someone asked hastily.

"In the morning, they still surrounded Shangshu's mansion, but Lu Shangshu never showed up, and no one asked him why Ji Youzhi surrounded Shangshu's mansion. What does this mean?"

"Didn't it mean that Lu Shangshu has always been in the palace, and was appointed by His Majesty to monitor the answers of the scholars?"

"Your Majesty's move is very strange!"

Xu Zheng only said such a sentence, and he was unwilling to say anything more if others asked him later.

This made people guess whether all of this was ordered by His Majesty.

The students of Guozijian rushed towards their homes one after another, hoping to get a sliver of information about the imperial court's violent actions when they returned home.

When Ji Youzhi and Ji Youze returned to the palace, Princess Lianchun had already taken Xiao Suisui to Chuxiu Palace, found Liu Yuheng's criminal evidence and brought them back.

They also took out the evidence seized from Lu Zezhong's residence and Li Xu's residence.

This case is mostly clear!
"The evidence is all here. Don't talk about anything else. In Li Ge's case, your criminal evidence has been firmly established. Youzhi, take it to the God's Arrest Tower. After checking everything, make a confession file and send it to me!"

"It's Your Majesty!"

One of Ji You waved his hand, and someone took Li Xu down.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, the chief official of Fengjiang, tell me, who committed the extermination case of Prince Qing's family back then?"

The emperor sat on a high dragon chair and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty! I don't know!"

Liu Yuheng immediately knelt down and begged for mercy loudly, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me?
You have bribed so many officials in the DPRK and China over the years, the death penalty alone is enough to cut off ten of your heads! "

As soon as the emperor shot the case, he threw the evidence that Xiao Suisui and Princess Lianchun received from Chuxiu Palace in front of the dead Liu Yuheng.

Liu Yuheng knelt on the ground and begged the emperor for mercy.

"Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!"

"If you want His Majesty to spare your life, I will honestly explain your problem. In the spring of 13 years ago, what did you find out about the extermination case in Prince Qing's Mansion?
And how did he get along with Lu Shangshu? "

Ji Youze stood beside the emperor and asked instead of the emperor.

"I……"

Liu Yuheng opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say something, he felt a fiery gaze beside him, so he was so scared that he took back the words that came to his lips!
"You think about it before you speak. Think about your family. Your daughter is still participating in the draft in the palace. If you cooperate honestly and your Majesty is kind, you may be able to avoid her fate of becoming a barn door after you subdue the law." !"

Ji Youze looked at Liu Yuheng expressionlessly, and said in a flat tone.

"You... what did you say?"

Liu Yuheng's brain suddenly went blank, and he looked at Ji Youze in a panic!

"Master Liu, you should know that according to your crime, at least it is a serious crime of quarreling and destroying the family!

But Your Majesty is kind, since he ascended the throne, he has seldom been quarreled and destroyed, so your wife and children, His Majesty is not unforgivable, but even so, they should not be free. manage! "

As soon as Ji Youze said this, Princess Lianchun answered, "In a place like Jiaofangsi, if a woman enters, her life will be over. It's a pity that Miss Liu is such a beautiful woman. If she can stay in the palace and wait On the day when His Majesty chooses a concubine, maybe His Majesty will choose her to be one of the four concubines!"

The emperor was irritated when he heard it, but this was what his sister said, so he coughed helplessly, "Sister Huang!"

Princess Lianchun glanced at him, "You are so young, you are 25 years old and haven't married yet, the emperor understands, you are young!"

The emperor: "Sister Huang! The case is being handled! Can you just say a few words less?"

Princess Lianchun smiled lightly: "Don't say it, don't say it!"

Xiao Suisui leaned on Princess Lianchun's ear and whispered to her, "That villain is thinking in his heart, if his daughter stays in the palace, he can get His Majesty's favor and become a palace concubine, maybe he will have another daughter in the future." The day of turning around."

Princess Lianchun smiled lightly, "Master Liu, think about it, if you say everything now, it will save your daughter's life! Maybe she will become a noble concubine in the future.

But if you kill her and don't say it, once you die, she will enter the Jiaofang Division, and the evidence of the crime is here, and she can't escape. Why do you ruin your daughter's future for someone else? "

"me……"

Lu Zezhong stared at Liu Yuheng firmly, and warned him with his eyes that if he dared to say a word, he would definitely die without a whole body in the future!

"Since you don't want to say it, let's hold it down! Hand it over to God's arresting platform, and let Youzhi interrogate. His wife and daughter will be sent to the barracks, and rewarded to the soldiers who just returned from fighting in the west!"

"Ah..." The eldest princess opened her mouth, just now she just... "Your Majesty!"

"I've made up my mind! Hold on!"

The two inner guards stepped forward immediately, grabbed Liu Yuheng on the left and right, and walked out.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty is merciful, please forgive my wife and daughter, Your Majesty!"

"Drag it!"

The emperor lost his patience and was stubborn!

"Master Liu, you missed the last chance by yourself. If you really help others carry it, then your wife and daughter will be wronged!"

Ji Youze walked up to the two big inner guards who were escorting Liu Yuheng, and left them behind.

"I... Hachiko, I said, I said, don't send my daughter and wife to the prison!"

"Now you want to talk again?"

The emperor sat on a high dragon chair and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, spare me! I beg Your Majesty to be merciful!"

"I only want to die, please spare my wife and daughter!"

"If you tell the truth, I will naturally answer you, but if you don't know good from bad, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"The minister said! The minister said everything."

Seeing Liu Yuheng like this, Lu Zezhong couldn't help but slumped on the ground, it's over, everything is over!

At this moment, even if he stared through his own eyeballs, Liu Yuheng would never look at him again!
"Tell me! If you are telling the truth, I will do as you wish!"

"It was 13 years ago in the spring. I was just transferred to the post of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He was an official in Beijing, especially when he killed an official like Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Any case of rioting on the streets would lead to encounters with relatives of the emperor!

I didn't offend this royal family member today, but tomorrow I will meet the dignitaries of the court and China. In just half a year, I was devastated. "

"Sometimes I really don't want to do it anymore, but I finally got to be the official of Shuntian Mansion Yin. I was born in a poor family with a weak family background.

No one is covering it above, and no one is available below! "

"You don't have anything, how did you manage to be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture?

Father is not a foolish emperor, it is impossible for him to let you be such an important official in Beijing as Shuntian Fuyin just because you are incompetent! "

The emperor was angry, this man is really confused!
"Yeah! I'm also surprised. There are many people who are better than me and better than me, but why did the first emperor choose my name to be this low-ranking Beijing official who can see Tianyan! "

"idiot!"

The emperor was so angry, he was really stupid as a pig!

"That's right! I'm just stupid, and I only realized it after many years!

It's just a pity, it was too late, at that time, I had already boarded Lu Zezhong's thief ship! "

Lu Zezhong's kneeling body trembled!
"You... you're talking nonsense! This and I..."

"Shut him up!"

The emperor gave the order coldly.

An Ouchi guard stepped forward, touched Lu Zezhong's chin, and immediately unloaded it.

"Go on!"

The emperor looked at Liu Yuheng.

"Yes!"

Liu Yuheng took a deep breath and continued to speak slowly.

"Many years later, I served as the chief envoy of the Southwest Road, and later also served as the inspector of the Southwest Road. When the judiciary and the government caught me, I realized the good intentions of your majesty in the first place!
Governor Shuntian, I should be His Majesty's eyes and His Majesty's ears, so I can't get on someone else's boat!
But what is the use at that time?
I have become a corrupt official, trying to get money every year, donating money, and begging for my life!

The reason why our family was able to return to Beijing this time is that I really don’t want to go on like this anymore. I have repeatedly begged for a place in Beijing to let me come back. I want to be an official in Beijing, an official who does not let me think of ways to make money! "

"So you bribed the Li family! To Li Xu in the matter?"

"Yes! I have sent money to Li Xu several times, and the records in the dossiers of the people from the Ping An Medicine Store that were sent over by Ji Shenzhang and interrogated by Shenzhantai are exactly the same!"

Ji Youze acted as a clerk at this time, and directly recorded everything Liu Yuheng said in the file.

"However, His Majesty is very good at managing the government these years, and Ji Shen is also very good at arresting and investigating. Every time Master Li replies, he always postpones it. Until last year's Double Ninth Festival Palace Banquet, I heard that there was Feng Laiyi!"

The emperor frowned!

"Is there Feng Laiyi?"

"Yes! There is Feng Laiyi, and the little lucky star of the Li family was accepted as an apprentice by the national teacher, and she and the Miss Li family performed in front of the imperial court, which attracted the real phoenix!"

emperor:"……"

Xiao Suisui: "Why is it that she, Li Yanyan, attracted Phoenix?"

The little girl pouted, with a confused and angry look on her face!

The emperor just took a look at her and appeased her, a precious girl who wants to be a mess!
"Folk legends cannot be counted!"

"But that's obviously me..."

"Good boy! Let His Majesty Li's adoptive father try the case first. It's getting late, and you can stop going to school after the trial!"

"Oh!"

In order not to go to school, the little girl is so obedient!

"After the Double Ninth Festival, what did you do?"

"I... I saw a glimmer of hope of returning to Beijing, so I put my thoughts on the matter of choosing a concubine by Your Majesty, so I sent a secret letter to Li Xu, asking him for help, but there was no news for a long time. Later, during the Chinese New Year , I heard that the Ji family held a plum appreciation feast, and the imperial edict of the empress dowager, so I put all my eggs in one basket and sent a letter to Lu Shangshu, explaining my relationship with Li Xu in the matter, please The thing about him trying to get my daughter to run.

As a result, within a few days, I received the news that Mrs. Li sponsored my daughter and let her enter the palace to run for election. At the same time, Zhongshu saved the transfer order and asked me to come to Beijing to report on my work!

That's all I have to say. "

Ji Youze, who was writing the dossier, suddenly stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked him.

"Tell me, every official position you have sought in these years was written by Li Xu, who was given by Zhongshu Sheng!"

"Yes!"

"But with Li Xu alone, he doesn't have that great ability!"

The emperor couldn't help turning his head to look at him, "What did Youze think of?"

Princess Lianchun hurriedly took out the list written by Ji Youze and looked at it again and again, "You mean?"

Ji Youze nodded, and wrote two names on the blank paper.

Princess Lianchun brought it to the emperor.

The emperor was furious!
"Longwu!"

The emperor is not angry anymore and is willing to confess to others. If he can call Long Wu directly, the identity of the other party is definitely not simple!
"His Majesty!"

When Long Wu came in, he didn't dare to vent his breath.

"You lead the team yourself, surrounded the residences of the Left Chancellor Song Yuan and the Right Chancellor Lin Yushu, and let Lin Yushu and Song Yuan enter the palace to meet you!"

"Yes!"

"Captain Long Wu, tell the brothers, don't move around, don't embarrass the old and weak women and children in the house!"

"Don't worry, Hachiko, I will pay attention!"

The emperor reached out and rubbed his brows, and asked Xiao Suisui, "Are you tired? Let your aunt take you back to sleep!"

Xiao Suisui hadn't spoken yet, Princess Lianchun spoke first.

"Someone send her to the queen mother! I'll watch it with you here!"

"also!"

The emperor nodded and agreed.

Xiao Suisui can't wait to leave early, she is afraid of this imperial study now, her writing hand hurts today!

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, Xie Pan'er accompanied the Queen Mother standing in the courtyard and looked towards the imperial study.

"I don't know when they will interrogate tonight?"

Xie Pan'er said worriedly: "You feel sorry for Your Majesty, right? How about I go with you to have a look, and send some pastries to His Majesty and the others by the way!"

"I think it's because you feel sorry for His Majesty? The Ai family should send someone to accompany you to take a look. The Ai family is old, and this back and forth is too much trouble!"

Empress Dowager Xiao saw through Xie Pan'er's mind and pointed it out directly.

"Where there is, you make fun of me."

Xie Pan'er said so, but he has already acted, "I'll go to the small kitchen and make a bowl of noodles for His Majesty myself!"

The last time Xiao Suisui celebrated her birthday, she personally made longevity noodles, His Majesty said it was delicious!

Just remember to let her do it!
"Go, go! Don't come to Ai's house to talk when you're done, just go there!"

As soon as Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, Mammy Xiao came over holding Xiao Suisui's hand.

"grandmother!"

"Oh my dear, your majesty's adoptive father and aunt are finally willing to let you out, how is it? The matter in the imperial study has been dealt with?"

Xiao Suisui shook her head, "No, I guess I can't finish it at dawn!"

"Ah... what is such a difficult question? How did you interrogate until dawn?"

"Grandma, don't worry, it's common to spend days and nights during the interrogation of cases.

Uncle Qi said, this is called boiling an eagle, and the judge must be able to endure it better than the criminal!
Those who can be recruited in a day or two are boneless, but when they meet those with bones, they will have to endure more than two or three days! "

"Hey, why do you know everything at such a young age?
What did you ask in the Imperial Study Room?

Ai's family looked at it just now, and it seems that some people have left the palace again, what's the matter? "

It's been up all night today, my dears, do you still have the monthly pass?Ask for one!
