Summary of the previous chapter: The situation suddenly reversed, and Zhu Youxiao actually pardoned Ma Xiaoquan...
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes at Lu Zhan and said, "You know you don't dare, but you still want to force me to punish Ma Aiqing?"
Lu Zhan was stunned and felt bad. The emperor's name just now called Ma Xiaoquan was now directly changed to "Ma Aiqing". What on earth is going on?
Lu Zhan turned around and exchanged glances with Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian understood and stepped forward to say respectfully: "Your Majesty, Ma Xiaoquan has conspired with foreign enemies, and all the supplies he prepared have been seized by our East Factory."
Zhu Youxiao turned his head and rolled his eyes at Wei Zhongxian, and said impatiently: "Let everyone go immediately. Well, if there is anything missing in that batch of supplies, Wei Zhongxian, let me ask you."
"Uh" Wei Zhongxian was also stunned, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
Not to mention, since Wei Zhongxian learned from Zhou Chao's father that Ma Xiaoquan was preparing supplies, he really had to take advantage of his unpreparedness and send his people from the East Factory to seize the supplies and put them into his own pocket.
The kind that doesn't have any leftovers.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there is nothing in that batch of supplies..." Wei Zhongxian lied.
"There's nothing?" Zhu Youxiao was unhappy, "I specially ordered Ma Aiqing to raise it. I still have a list in my hand. How can you say there's nothing? Zhongxian, could it be that you allocated it to me?
The supplies given to Ning Yuan were misappropriated?"
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, God can tell you, this old slave is loyal to Your Majesty, how dare you do this?"
"Well, that's fine if you don't have it. Okay, I'll give you the list later. You can go down first."
Zhu Youxiao's words were tantamount to protecting Wei Zhongxian in disguise. After all, Wei Zhongxian was the one who signed the white paper before. Of course, Comrade Wei couldn't write and had someone write for him.
Wei Zhongxian got the pardon and ran away. He had been serving Zhu Youxiao and knew the emperor's temper. From what the emperor said just now, Wei Zhongxian had already heard it. The emperor must have some evidence, and this evidence was very beneficial to Ma Xiaoquan.
..... As for the group of officials who were trying to impeach Ma Xiaoquan just now, Wei Zhongxian had already figured out that this was probably a play directed and acted by the emperor himself.
Wei Zhongxian was very anxious. Firstly, he was in a hurry to run, and secondly, he wanted to go back and reorganize the batch of supplies. Otherwise, if the emperor asked, he would be in trouble.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's retreating figure, Ma Xiaoquan secretly smiled in his heart, list? Oh dear, the emperor really knows how to compile it. Although the supplies are real, there is no list at all.
Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian looked at each other, and they nodded to each other. Zhu Youxiao said: "Brother Huang, not bad!"
No one knew what the two brothers were talking about, and everyone only saw Zhu Youjian's respectful response to Zhu Youxiao: "I should share my burdens with my brother."
Zhu Youxiao hummed, turned his head and shouted to the people in front of him: "You, those who just wrote your names on the paper, please come out for me!"
When everyone heard this, except for a few people who had not signed before, everyone else, including Lu Zhan and the Zhang brothers and sisters, were extremely frightened.
It was hard to disobey the emperor's order, so how could anyone dare to neglect them? They all looked at me and me, and they had no choice but to go out in line obediently.
"Well" Zhu Youxiao walked up to the crowd with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth.
"I always thought that the officials of Ming Dynasty were all good, but today I was wrong." Zhu Youxiao suddenly raised his voice, "I personally approved all the materials prepared by Ma Aiqing!"
As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, all the officials looked at each other in shock, and some of them even collapsed on the ground.
"You are indiscriminate, listening to other people's lies, and falsely accusing Ma Aiqing. Do you know that just because of your delay, your war in Ningyuan has been disrupted by you again? Those who signed today can be spared the death penalty, but the living crime will not be spared.
, and... anyone who fails to sign on the paper will be fined 500 taels of silver and half a year's salary will be deducted!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, everyone began to kneel down and beg for mercy. Especially those who had not signed before felt that they were wronged.
School manager Zhu You ignored him and walked directly to Ma Xiaoquan, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Ma Aiqing, thank you for your hard work. Haha, how are you enjoying this reversal drama?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zhu Youxiao in confusion: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't lie, he really didn't understand.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. I will go to heaven and earth tomorrow and let's have a good chat."
Ma Xiaoquan was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't care whether he understood it or not. He thanked the Lord for his kindness and then said: "I obey the decree!"
Zhu Youxiao helped Ma Xiaoquan up, turned to look at Zhu Youjian, and said: "Youjian, you can go to heaven and earth tomorrow too. This matter was just played by the two of us. You have to give Ma Aiqing a good explanation."
.”
Zhu Youjian smiled and said respectfully: "My brother obeys the decree! Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor."
"Oh, by the way." Zhu Youxiao walked up to Li Qinghan again and sighed, "Li Qinghan, you insulted me, what crime do you deserve?"
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Qinghan is Weichen's woman. Weichen has not been able to discipline her well and has committed a serious dereliction of duty. Weichen begs the emperor to punish Weichen and not Qinghan."
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, looked at Li Qinghan, and asked: "Li Qinghan, do you think it's okay for me to punish Ma Xiaoquan?"
Li Qinghan also knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, I know that I made a mistake. All mistakes are borne by me alone and have nothing to do with Ma Xiaoquan. Please don't punish him, Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard it: "You two really have a good relationship. You take responsibility and I take responsibility. Hey, I appreciate your love very much. It's not bad. You two, get up."
"Your Majesty?" Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan looked at Zhu Youxiao in surprise.
"Huh? Get up, I won't pursue it anymore, just get up."
Zhu Youjian interjected: "The emperor has said that he will not pursue the case, why don't you thank him quickly?"
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan looked at each other and kowtowed in gratitude.
"Well" Zhu Youxiao helped the two of them up and said with a smile, "Ma Xiaoquan, there is no need to punish you, but in heaven and earth tomorrow, you can't let me neglect you?"
Ma Xiaoquan was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this is definitely the highest standard since the establishment of the club, oh no, the highest, unparalleled high standard."
"Okay, then I'll wait and see, haha..."
Zhu Youxiao turned around, looked at the public commentators who were still kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "What are you doing standing around here? Why don't you pay the fine quickly, eh? Lu Zhan, don't leave, there's that
