my wife is queen

Chapter 92 Thunder
Wan An shook his head, slandered the old bureaucrat in his heart, and continued to say what he hadn't finished: "This matter is not because of the ineffectiveness of the officials of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion and the Military and Horse Division of Wucheng, it is all because of the son-in-law Li Mian. Knowing what was going on, he suddenly sent people to snatch away all the prostitutes and gambling houses in Caochangyuan."

Ma Yun was stunned when he heard this. How could it be that all the prostitutes and gambling houses only robbed [-]% of the prostitutes and gambling houses respectively.

The numbers obviously don't match up. Could it be that forty percent was deliberately said to be all in order to aggravate Li Mian's guilt.

After Ma Yun thought about it for a while, he felt something was wrong.

If you want to aggravate Li Mian's guilt, you can just say the city tax of 50 taels.

Just after saying the city tax of 20 taels of silver, he said all the prostitutes and gambling houses.

Just when Ma Yun was thinking about the tricks, Emperor Jiazhen, who was separated by a layer of veil, began to play tricks again.

Emperor Jiazhen stretched out his finger, pointed to the sky, then pointed to the ground, retracted the big sleeves of his uniform, and put on the futon again in a meditation posture.

Ordinary officials would only be at a loss when they saw this action of Emperor Jiazhen, and did not understand what he meant.

Feng Baoke was different. As the governor of the East Factory, he was a powerful eunuch, and he was also surprised.

He hurried over, walked to Luo Man's side, and said with a low eyebrow, "I'm going to arrest Li Mian and put him in the imperial prison, and interrogate me whether there is such a thing."

When Ma Yun heard the sentence of being arrested, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again, and his face turned pale.

Anyone who entered the imperial prison would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die, let alone someone who offended Emperor Jiazhen.

In order to show his meritorious service, Feng Bao's godson must have entertained Li Mian more fiercely than the other, and resorted to various tortures on him.

As for Li Mian's status as a consort, the eunuchs don't care, even if a vassal king enters the imperial prison, he will have to shed a layer of skin, let alone a mere poor family consort.

Ma Yun had already seen the scene of Li Mian being tortured after he entered the imperial prison. For a while, his spine felt chills, and he stood there with cold hands and feet, unable to speak a word.

He secretly regretted that he should have interrupted Wan An's words just now, not letting him speak out, and sent the memorial in his hand first.

Ma Yun had just entered the three gates, and he hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he didn't know that Wan An would say something unfavorable to Li Mian.

What's more, he didn't expect that he would take out the Caochangyuan when facing the saint.

If Ma Yun knew that Caochangyuan involved 20 yuan in silver, he would immediately stop what Wan An had to say at the risk of being disrespectful.

As long as it exceeds 1 taels of silver, anything will become a big deal in Emperor Jiazhen's heart.

Judging from the current situation, it's not like the rain is coming, but a violent storm is about to fall on Li Mian's head.

In the face of this violent storm, he is not as good as a pot of plum petals and spring orchids, with only one end to be destroyed.

When Emperor Jiazhen heard Feng Bao's inquiry, he still didn't say a word, but replaced the Taoist scriptures in his hand with nanmu jade heads and dust tails, and shook them lightly in his hands.

Feng Bao understood what the emperor meant, and immediately straightened his back, preparing to lead someone to arrest Li Mian himself.

Wan An smiled, it seemed that Li Mian was doomed this time, and it really confirmed what Yan Maoqing said.

Without them doing anything, someone would naturally take care of Li Mian.

But what Wan An never expected was that the person who cleaned up Li Mian was Dongchang, and Feng Bao, the governor of Dongchang, did it himself.

Without any room for relaxation, they will only end up in a situation where they are neither human nor ghost.

Ma Yun saw Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory, passing by, and was about to leave the three gates to arrest Li Mian and take him to the imperial prison for interrogation.

His back was drenched in cold sweat at that time, and he stepped forward a few times regardless of safety, and made an offensive behavior: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, there is a memorial to be handed in by the servant, and the son-in-law has repeatedly asked that it must be handed over to Your Majesty." The memorial says it can solve the Caochangyuan matter."

When Ma Yun said this, he also lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, not daring to look directly at Emperor Jiazhen.

However, Ma Yun's eyes were staring at Feng Bao closely, hoping that he could take it easy and not go and arrest the son-in-law Li Mian right now.

Give Li Mian a chance to defend himself, and make a decision after reading the memorial.

Yan Maoqing glanced at Ma Yun whose legs were already trembling, and shook his head, not thinking his words would be effective.

Want to settle the matter of the Caochangyuan with a memorandum?

A fool's dream.

Let alone a memorial, even if Princess Changping came here in person, she would still be the eldest princess, and it would not have any effect.

This time it involved Emperor Jiazhen's silver, which was still 20 taels of silver, and it was useless for anyone to come.

Wan An didn't understand Emperor Jiazhen's thoughts, but he knew that there was no room for relaxation in this matter, so he sarcastically said: "Don't try to intercede with Li Mian, there will be disasters if you don't match virtue, he didn't It is a good thing for a mud-legged person to become a son-in-law. This time, the court only lost 20 taels of city tax, and there is still room for redress when Li Mian is captured. No matter how many things come up, his humble background can't hold back the honor of the son-in-law."

Wan An's words won unanimous nods from the officials of the scarlet suit, thinking that Li Mian's fate today was all due to his lack of virtue.

Princess Changping was restless, and the eunuch, Yan Dang, and Donglin Dang sent people to warn her one after another, but nothing came of it.

On the contrary, Li Mian, the son-in-law, became restless, and actually did the evil deed of robbing the prostitutes and gambling houses in Caochangyuan, which finally angered Emperor Jiazhen.

Things have reached this point today, and they can only reap the consequences.

Ma Yun held the memorial above his head, but no one took it, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

He knelt on the ground in panic, kowtowed vigorously, and before he knocked a few times, he saw red on the Linqing tribute brick.

Ma Yun's forehead began to bleed, but he didn't care about it, and knocked hard on the Linqing tribute brick.

After all, Feng Bao is not a wolf-hearted dog like Liu Jin. He has been taken care of by the empress in the past. Although the tree has fallen and the monkeys have dispersed, he has not succumbed to the despotic power of Zheng Guifei and made things difficult for Princess Changping.

Seeing Ma Yun's heartfelt look, he couldn't bear it, so he could only stop, turned around and walked over to take the memorial.

After all, Feng Bao was the governor of the East Factory, so he took the memorial and handed it in.

Emperor Jiazhen did not refute Feng Bao's face in front of the officials, took the memorial, opened it and glanced at it.
