"Prime Minister Ji has been summoned to the palace. I don't know what the outcome will be." Xia Houzhi said.

Li Xuan put down his tea cup and said thoughtfully, "He will definitely choose Dali Temple."

"Why?" Xia Houzhi was puzzled, "Isn't this giving back the handle?"

"Which is the lesser of two evils," Li Xuan explained.

"If Ji Xiang chooses to ask me to investigate, it will be a hot potato for me. If I can't find out, I will be a waste; but if the investigation is too clear, it will hurt the feelings of the brothers, touch the emperor's reverse scale, and cause trouble.

It smells fishy all over."

"Let Dali Temple investigate. Although it will make my father suspicious, it is just suspicion. I am not involved in both sides. I am still an incompetent prince who does not care about worldly affairs."

However, there is much that can be manipulated secretly.

"Can we let Dali Temple investigate? Isn't it a big deal and a trivial matter?" Xia Houzhi asked.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Li Xuan curled his lips and smiled.

"Now that this hot potato has arrived at Dali Temple, they want to swallow it easily, but they don't want their mouths to be full of bubbles when the time comes."

Xia Houzhi was quick-thinking and immediately understood what he meant, "Then I will send them the secret report on Cai Zhen and Zhang Sheng that day."

Li Xuan nodded, "Very good."

A big drama will be staged again soon.

…………

Late at night, the lights in Dali Temple are still brightly lit.

"Sir, this is Zhang Sheng's confession."

The jailer presented a list to Ouyang Yan, the minister of Dali Temple.

Ouyang Yan took it and took a closer look. In addition to murder and corruption, there were also the whereabouts of the five hundred thousand taels of silver, as well as the problems of buying and selling land, minting counterfeit coins, and withholding taxes.

It can simply be said to be audacious.

If he had not committed suicide in prison, it would have been easy to kill the nine clans.

Ouyang Yan was worried that Prince Jing was too courageous to do so many things without telling him and the Queen.

If he wasn't supporting Cai Zhen behind the scenes, how could he, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, dare?

Now that I think about it, there is something wrong with him suddenly committing suicide...

How can he balance such a big basket?

What's more, now even His Majesty is watching here personally.

King Jing, King Jing, you are really going to cause problems for the Ouyang family...

Ouyang Yan returned to the house with a worried face. As soon as he sat down, his son Ouyang Zheng pushed open the door and barged in like a storm.

"How's it going? Is the matter settled?"

Looking at his stupid look, Ouyang Yan really wanted to slap him twice. He thought that the Ouyang family was full of characters, so why did he give birth to such a simple-minded waste with well-developed limbs?

Ouyang Yan held his forehead with his hands and simply looked away.

Seeing that he ignored him, Ouyang Zheng became anxious and said, "You should speak up. Prince Jing is still waiting for me to reply to him!"

"He wants news, why don't he come and ask for it himself?" Ouyang Yan said angrily.

"You're so good, why are you so angry?" Ouyang Zheng was puzzled, "Based on our relationship, if I ask and he asks, isn't it the same?"

Ouyang Yan sneered, "He must be afraid to come."

Ouyang Zheng immediately argued, "What does Prince Jing have to be afraid of? You are his uncle and I am his cousin. We are all one family."

"What happened to you today? Why did you say that to A Ye? He didn't offend you."

Looking at his innocent and harmless appearance, the veins on Ouyang Yan's forehead jumped. He was like this. One day, King Jing sold him and he had to count the money.

"How many times have I told you that King Jing's surname is Li and your surname is Ouyang. You and he are not of the same family. If you are heard by others and you report it to His Majesty, you are treasonous. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Ouyang Zheng said fiercely, "Anyway, he is my cousin and I watched him grow up. I don't allow anyone to bully him."
