Chapter 44 Confrontation in front of the palace(1/2)

After only a short while, Jiang Ying came in with a large number of guards wearing armor.

They walked in unison and carried several large boxes in an orderly manner.

The momentum of these people alone is countless times better than those of the guards seen during the day.

It’s just their faces…

Yu Yunxi looked at the mottled blood stains on the faces of Jiang Ying and others, and frowned sharply.

What were they doing?

"I recognize you. You are the bodyguard of the regent and the deputy general of the Ministry of War. What are you doing here?"

Yu Zhongcheng is now filled with anger and is extremely resentful towards Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying snorted coldly, and then said: "The Ministry of War recently discovered a traitor, so we searched the capital, but we didn't find him. Instead, we found some boxes engraved with the Yufu mark. The things in the boxes were really incredible.

Average."

After that, he asked people to open the big boxes.

The piles of gold and silver are almost dazzling.

"What, what's going on?" Ms. Zhou was out of breath and needed help.

It had been a long time since they had seen so much silver since Xu's grand dowry.

"This gold should be worth twenty years of the Prime Minister's salary. But this is just the tip of the iceberg that our Ministry of War has found. Prime Minister, do you want to explain it?"

Jiang Ying glanced at Yu Zhongcheng faintly, but his words pressed forward step by step.

Why did Yu Zhongcheng's embezzled money end up with Jiang Ying and the others? Yu Yunxi frowned in thought.

Over there, Jiang Ying lowered his voice and said to Zhongcheng: "You are indeed prepared to move these things and send experts to guard them, but our Ministry of War is not a vegetarian."

Although his volume was very low, Yu Yunxi's ears were very good, so he could hear these words clearly.

Her eyebrows gradually relaxed.

So, the address Jiang Ying gave at the beginning was true, but Yu Zhongcheng was a cunning and cunning person who moved the things. Later, Jiang Ying led someone to snatch the things back?

"Does the regent know that you are doing these things?" Yu Zhongcheng glared at Jiang Ying with eyes that wanted to kill him.

"Whether the prince knows about this matter is not important. I think you should think clearly about how to explain it to the emperor."

Just after Jiang Ying finished speaking, someone came from the palace.

"Prime Minister Yu, the emperor has summoned you to the palace. By the way, this is the head of Southwest County. The emperor has also invited you."

"County Lord, I'm with you." Qianjiao was worried, she wanted to stay with Yu Yunxi.

But the father-in-law said with a straight face: "No, the emperor only summoned the county master to enter the palace, and no one else can follow."

"Qianjiao, please wait for me at the mansion." Yu Yunxi told Qianjiao quietly.

Although Qianjiao was anxious, she could still compromise.

"Don't worry, Princess. The young Marquis is also in the palace. Everything has been arranged." Jiang Ying walked behind Yun Xi without leaving a trace and said in a low voice.

Yu Yunxi raised a cold eyebrow and asked directly: "Aren't you afraid that your master will blame you if you help me?"

"Princess, this belongs to our prince..."

"Forget it, don't mention him at this time. The county master is very tired of hearing his name." Yu Yunxi interrupted Jiang Ying coldly.

Jiang Ying frowned, looking very troubled, but in the end he said no more.

After getting on the carriage sent by the palace, the group quickly entered the palace.

The entrance to the imperial study room.

"Prime Minister Yu, Yu Shi Yang, County Lord, the imperial study room has arrived, and the emperor will be waiting for you inside." The father-in-law said slowly, holding a fly whisk.

"Here comes Eunuch Laurinde." Yu Yunxi glanced at him with cold eyes and said slowly.

Lin De's body stiffened, his eyes flickered, and he said sarcastically: "I can't believe that after so many years, the county master still remembers our family."

"That's natural, Eunuch Lin." Yu Yunxi made a cold arc and looked away.

"When you get in front of the emperor later, keep your mouth shut and don't harm the Yu family!"

Yu Zhongcheng did not forget to warn Yu Yunxi even at this time.

Yu Yunxi only left him with an indifferent back, "Father, it's better to explain to the emperor the matter of silver."

"you……"

Only a few people walked in.

With a "pop" sound, the teacup hit their feet hard, causing porcelain shards and tea to splash.

"Yu Zhongcheng, you are so good!" came an angry voice.

Yu Zhongcheng's expression changed, and he quickly knelt down regardless of the tiles on the ground.

Yu Yunxi slowly raised his eyes and saw a man wearing a dragon robe sitting on a dragon chair not far away.

His eyebrows were sinister, and his coldness was not concealed.

He is obviously in the prime of life, but he has a lot of gray hair on his temples.

Beside them, stood several young men.

The person at the head was Feng Weizhou, and his eyes had not moved away from her since she appeared.

Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of anger, which was directed at her.

"The Prince of Southwest met with the Emperor on the eve of the clouds."

Yu Yunxi did not kneel down, but followed the rules of women's salutes and blessed her body.

"Are you the adopted daughter of the Southwest King?" Feng Yijin narrowed his eyes and spoke sternly.

His appraising eyes were fixed on Yu Yunxi like this, and his majesty as an emperor was undisguised.

But Yu Yunxi was fearless. She raised her head again and looked at him with cold eyes, "Reporting to the Emperor, that's right."

"You are so brave!" Suddenly, Feng Yijin slammed the memorial on the table, almost hitting her.

County Lord!

Qian Mei and the envoy from the Southwest, who had taken off their human skin masks, saw this scene and their hearts trembled.

"Yun Xi doesn't know why the emperor is angry?" There was no look of fear on Yu Yun Xi's brows, she asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"You told Yang Aiqing that your father embezzled disaster relief money and sent your southwestern envoys to find the people of Minzhou to complain, right?" His tone was cold, and his majestic aura scared the little eunuchs around him.

I was shivering.

"That's right." Yu Yunxi responded calmly.

"Do you know that falsely accusing an official of the imperial court is a capital crime? What's more, the one you slandered is your biological father. I will not let you go for the sake of the King of Southwest!"

Feng Yijin sneered and began to warn Yu Yunxi.

"Your Majesty, isn't this the truth? How can there be a false accusation?" Yu Yunxi responded calmly.

"Yu Yunxi! Don't be confused. It's just a few words and a few boxes of silver from the unscrupulous people of Minzhou. How can we convict him?"

Feng Weizhou strode towards Yu Yunxi and warned through gritted teeth.

"Why is the prince so anxious? Whether Yu Xiang has embezzled money, my father will naturally decide. It is not appropriate for you to speak to the county master in such a threatening tone now. Or should I say that there is some money in Yu Xiang's embezzlement?

Your share?”

The eldest prince turned his back to them and suddenly made a sarcastic sound.

"Feng Weirui, don't slander me!" Feng Weizhou's face was gloomy.

"That's enough. How can it be appropriate for princes to be suspicious of each other? I'm not dead yet, are you about to start a fight?"

Feng Yijin knocked down another object, which made Feng Weizhou and Feng Weirui stop arguing.

"Yu Zhongcheng, what do you have to say?" Feng Weijin's murderous eyes began to look at Yu Zhongcheng.

Yu Zhongcheng clenched his fists and was silent for a long time. Then he kowtowed heavily and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, my daughter resents me, so she has made the general family uneasy these days, and now she wants to put me in this situation."

Death place..."

As he spoke, Yu Zhongcheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, looking like he had been greatly wronged.

"As my daughter, no matter how much she goes too far, I will let her go and make up for her. But she should not have done anything wrong, that is, she should not have deceived the emperor and put me in a position of disloyalty and unrighteousness.

land……"

"In the matter of the victims of the Minzhou disaster, I admit that I lack the ability to provide rescue to the victims as soon as possible. I am willing to be punished!"

"But I will never admit embezzling money!"

"Can Prime Minister Yu explain what happened to the money found by the Ministry of War?" Yang Qiang was beside him and couldn't help but wipe his mouth.

"It's a shame to say this. Yun Xi's mother came to the house when she got married and brought a grand dowry. I felt that if those things were placed in the warehouse, they would inevitably be remembered by others, so I exchanged them for silver coins, and then

It was placed elsewhere. I didn’t expect that this matter would lead to so many misunderstandings.”
