(1st update)

If it were in the past, Madam Liu would naturally not dare to say such a thing. Her belief is that her husband is her heaven. Fang Wenjing is still beneficial to the Liu family, and she will not do anything that harms the interests of the Liu family.

But things are different now. Fang Wenjing's identity has been exposed, and the Fang family has been imprisoned. Leaving them in the world is just a hidden danger, and they will be implicated in the Liu family's troubles at any time.

She wanted to make this decision for Liu Xiang and let the Liu family and the Fang family completely end. As for how to end it, of course, let the Fang family and the Fang family die!

Aunt Li wanted to persuade Madam Liu to think twice before acting, but when she saw the dark blue in her eyes, she felt distressed again: "Madam, you can do whatever you want. I will do it for you. You can go back to bed and rest first."

Mrs. Liu held her hand and couldn't help crying: "Mommy, you don't know how painful I have been over the years..."

Nanny Li was hugged around the waist, bearing Mrs. Liu's tilting weight, but her steps were very steady and motionless. One hand patted Mrs. Liu's back with a soothing force.

After putting Mrs. Liu to sleep, Grandma Li asked the maid who was keeping watch at night to take care of her before she left the room.

Today is the day when the Ministry of Punishment enters the palace to deliver errands. The Commander of the Jinyi Guards and Prime Minister Liu met one after another on the way.

The commander raised his arm towards him according to the rules and was about to leave when Liu He called out to him.

"Your Majesty, Commander, also came to the palace today for the Fang family's case, right?" Liu Xiangran said with a smile.

Gu Bai stopped and waited for him to approach before nodding: "Liu Xiang should be the same."

Liu He nodded and then said with a smile: "The commander has always been merciless, but this time he released Mrs. Rong early, which really surprised me."

Gu Bai frowned coldly: "What the Prime Minister said is true. Jin Yiwei never shows mercy when handling cases. The reason why Mrs. Rong was able to come out early is because she is indeed not guilty. There is no reason for the subordinate to hold the person captive any longer."

Liu He sneered in his heart, but said on his face: "The commander and Mrs. Rong are also very close. I heard that Mrs. Rong has been in Mr. Gu's house recently..."

Because of the Fang family's affairs, it's not surprising that Liu He would target his family. They are not fools. They will avoid informants at important times. As for usually, they don't care what others think.

Liu He thought Gu Bai would defend himself, but unexpectedly, he nodded and admitted.

"Speaking of which, Xiaguan and Rong Xuan are predestined. No one in the court knows that Rong Xuan is a prodigy in solving cases. Xiaguan is not a person who cherishes talents, but he is still impressed by his talent. Recently, he happened to have a few mysterious cases in hand to ask him for advice.

Isn't it normal that he and Mrs. Rong have a good relationship with each other?" Gu Bai is not a public official, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't understand some things, and it certainly won't make Nalan Jing lose his reputation.

Humph, although that woman doesn't care at all.

Liu He wanted to say something else, but Gu Bai apologized and left first.

They went to the Imperial Study Room, and when the Minister of Punishment saw that everyone was here, he presented the evidence and testimony in his hand.

The evidence and testimony in his hands are all exonerating the Fang family.

In the imperial study, some of them were not affiliated with Prime Minister Liu, and they immediately refuted the evidence and testimony that was full of loopholes. Both sides insisted on their own opinions.

Emperor Tianshun frowned and listened to the quarrel below, and remained silent for a while.

Gu Bai stood respectfully at the lower right, glanced casually, and met Liu He's eyes.

A dark smile flashed across Liu He's scheming eyes, seeming to laugh at what a stupid choice he had made.

Rong Xuan was a prodigy in solving crimes, but that was only in the past. Now he is a commoner. How can he be compared with the powerful Liu family?

Stupid! Extremely stupid!!

Gu Bai withdrew his gaze, and where Liu He couldn't see him, he also showed a cold smile. He was laughing at Liu He for not even knowing what kind of woman he was planning to get, and he was still complacent.

Forget it, let him be happy for a while first.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Xiang came out, raised his arms, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has found out that the Fang family has nothing to do with the case, and Fang Xuelin was sent to prison, and there was blood on the confession.

I am afraid that the Jin Yiwei envoys will be beaten into submission... I boldly request your majesty to hand over Fang Xuelin to the Ministry of Punishment for retrial."

This is to fish out Fang Xuelin as well.

Gu Bai's eyes shone with a cold light, his face unmoved at all.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xiang's voice fell, several old ministers knelt down and accused Jin Yiwei of cruel methods and countless victims of being beaten...

Emperor Tianshun was obviously used to the crying of these courtiers. He threw the post in his hand on the table and said with a headache: "Okay, I know this. The Fang family is innocent, but Fang Xuelin confessed. This matter needs to be investigated again.

"

How else to check?

All the ministers looked at Emperor Tianshun.

Emperor Tianshun picked up the post again, patted his palms and said, "All the Fang family members have been imprisoned. Have they been searched in the Fang Mansion?"

The people who asked were naturally Jin Yiwei and Xingbu.

Both of them nodded.

However, Gu Bai knelt down and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Fang family has indeed checked and did not find Fang Wenjing's letter, but there is one place where they have not been found."

Everyone's eyes turned to the commander again.

Emperor Tianshun raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"After learning that Fang Wenjing was the fourth wife of the Liu family, my subordinates took people to the Liu family for questioning, but they did not search the Liu family." Gu Bai said respectfully and seriously.

Everyone who originally stretched their long necks took a breath and searched the Liu family. How dare the commander say that?

They all retracted their shoulders and remained silent, waiting for Gu Bai to be in bad luck.

Emperor Tianshun put one hand on his knee, leaned up and looked at Gu Bai, who was kneeling, and then looked at Liu Xiang, whose face was ashen, and said with a big head: "This..."

Liu He's face was livid, and he sneered: "Your Majesty, the commander wants to search the Liu family, have you heard?"

Everyone could hear his thunderous fury and Emperor Tianshun's helpless tone: "I heard it... Why don't you listen to the commanding officer finish what he said?" He threw the pot away.

Liu Xiang had been gaining prestige in the court for a long time, and Emperor Tianshun was really worried that he would have an attack on the spot.

Compared with Emperor Tianshun's dilemma, Gu Bai's face was full of cruelty: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I want to search Mrs. Liu Si's yard. As for the rest of the Liu family, I have no right to interfere."

In short, he has the right to search the yard of the fourth wife of the Liu family.

Liu He said angrily: "That's also the Liu family!"

Gu Bai didn't look back or argue with him, he just said: "If nothing can be found through the search of Madam Liu Si's yard, it means that my subordinate made a mistake in judging the case, and I am willing to accept the crime."

Liu He's face was filled with anger. When he heard these words, he hummed and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I promised to let the Commander-in-Chief enter the mansion to search, but he must do so together with the Minister of Punishment."

If nothing can be found by then, he will definitely ask His Majesty to remove him from his position as commander of the Royal Guards.
