Newly married in the bridal chamber, the regent has collapsed

Thinking so, Su Xuanmao slapped his legs and accelerated towards the farewell banquet.

Emperor Anqing was still on the streets of Yangzhou City, receiving the attention of the people of Yangzhou City.

He is extremely proud, but he doesn't know how glamorous he is now, and how he will be slapped in the face later.

When Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue came to the farewell banquet, their eyes were all surprised.

But then it became clear, after all, Su Xuanmao followed the words of Emperor Anqing and invited wealthy families from all over the world, so why didn't he hold the banquet so grandly?
Shen Pingjin was thinking, even if Emperor Anqing would give Su Xuanmao money for his farewell banquet, would the money be enough?
Yan Jue had thought about this question a long time ago. Seeing that Shen Pingjin frowned, he said, "Obviously, Su Xuanmao used the profit from buying and selling private salt to subsidize the farewell banquet."

Shen Pingjin suddenly realized.

"The Emperor is here—"

When the two of them were thinking, Eunuch Shun's ear-piercing voice came from a distance, as if it wanted to cut through the sky.

There were already pitch-black people sitting in the audience. When they heard the voice, they all turned their heads to look.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Emperor Anqing, although over forty years old, has a handsome figure, like a pine and cypress, with a majestic aura emanating from his body, with enough imperial coercion.

"Is this the emperor? I thought the emperor was an old man, but I didn't expect him to look young."

"What are you thinking? The emperor is only under 50 years old. Let's speak in a low voice. Slandering the emperor behind his back will punish the nine clans!"

"I know, I know! But why do you think the emperor came to Yangzhou City suddenly?!"

"This... I don't know either, but I heard that this is a farewell banquet. The emperor must have been in Yangzhou for a while."

The woman was a little shocked when she heard the words, "That's the case. Doesn't it mean that the emperor came to Yangzhou City quietly, and the emperor must have something important to deal with!"

"possible!"

Everyone in the audience was discussing, and Eunuch Shun stared at everyone coldly with his long and narrow eyes, "Silence! Long live God is here, how can you make noise here?!"

In just a split second, the noisy crowd just now quieted down. Eunuch Shun snorted coldly, thinking to himself—these bastards, their Long Live Lord held a farewell banquet, and they were so noisy.

Emperor Anqing looked at the audience and said loudly: "Today, I am holding a farewell banquet here to announce something."

After hearing this, the audience became restless in an instant.

The royal guards hiding in the dark are watching.

Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue were sitting in the seats reserved for the royal family, and they already knew what Emperor Anqing was going to say.

Guan Anhe cooperated with the emperor: "Report to the emperor, but why did you hold a farewell banquet suddenly?"

Emperor Anqing didn't write: "Naturally, it's because my love, Chen Shangshu, made a heinous mistake!"

The people present were stunned.

Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has been under the management of Chen Jian in recent years. Everyone is a native of Yangzhou, so how could they not know who Chen Jian is.

In an instant, several people came out and asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that you are going to Jiangnan this time because Mr. Chen made a big mistake?"

Before Emperor Anqing could speak, Eunuch Shun glanced at the speaker, "Do you have any objections?"

Emperor Anqing waved his hand: "Eunuch Shun, let him continue."

The man looked serious, "Your Majesty, the common people have no other intentions, but simply want to ask. After all, Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has been under the management of Mr. Chen for so many years. We want to know what mistakes he made."

"Don't you know he buys and sells private salt?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

The man who had a serious face just now showed a slight crack in his expression, "Your Majesty, Chen, is Mr. Chen buying and selling private salt?"

They have heard about this matter a little, but they have never believed it.

But now the emperor is in front of everyone, and when everyone heard the emperor say this in person, their hearts were shaken instantly.

Emperor Anqing snorted coldly, "I am the Son of Heaven, can my words be false?"

Seeing that the time had come, Su Xuanmao stood up and took the criminal evidence to the stage himself.

"It is impossible for the father to lie to everyone. As the crown prince, he is alone in Yangzhou City. He has already found evidence of Chen Shangshu's crime. If you don't believe me, please come and see."

Those who can participate in the farewell banquet are all families who can talk in Yangzhou, Jiangnan.But in the end, they only have power and advantages in Yangzhou, and they are fundamentally inferior to some aristocratic families in Kyoto.

But they are not the lower class people, they are all those who can afford official salt and have ink in their stomachs, and they all know the consequences of buying and selling illegal salt.

They don't understand the suffering of the lower class people, they are the one nourished by Chen Jian, so they naturally don't understand why Chen Jian took the risk to buy and sell illegal salt.

Su Xuanmao put all the criminal evidence in front of everyone. Everyone was still wavering in their hearts. After seeing the evidence, the balance in their hearts has completely tilted towards Emperor Anqing!

"It turns out that Chen Shangshu is really this kind of person, we all really misjudged him!"

"That's right, it's fortunate that we still trust Chen Shangshu so much!"

"However, why does Chen Shangshu want to buy and sell private salt? It's not good for him."

"I can't figure it out either, but the evidence is conclusive, and the rest is out of our control."

"you're right!"

There was a lot of discussion, but some smart people were thinking that Chen Shangshu was in a high position, he was not short of money, and he was the emperor's right-hand man. He knew that buying and selling private salt was against the law, but he still did it.

Seeing that everyone believed it, Emperor Anqing gave Eunuch Shun a look.

Eunuch Shun immediately understood and winked at the secret royal guard.

While everyone was still discussing, they saw that in the crowded crowd, the people sitting behind gave way to two men in black clothes and veils.

They hold a person in their hands.

The man was wearing a death row uniform, his face was pale, his clothes were stained with traces of blood, his hair was disheveled, and his face was ashen.

Just when everyone was surprised who this person was, that person actually raised his head, revealing a face that everyone present was familiar with.

Someone exclaimed: "Chen, Chen Shangshu!"

At this time, more people recognized it: "Chen Shangshu, you, you are ridiculous, why are you buying and selling private salt!"

Emperor Anqing displayed the criminal evidence handed over by Su Xuanmao on the stage. Chen Jian was expressionless, as if he was a prisoner waiting for death to pronounce his sentence.

Seeing that Chen Jian didn't explain, the others only felt heartache.

"Aiqing, as my right-hand man, why did you do such a stupid thing? You know that if you are discovered by me, you will die."

Chen Jian still didn't speak.

At this moment, someone in the crowd who had just made way for the two hidden guards yelled:
"There are assassins, run!"
