After a pause, Hua Yanxi continued: "March is indeed a long time, enough for some people to eliminate traces. It is true that my daughter-in-law cannot investigate the Prime Minister's case now, but my daughter-in-law can now testify against herself and accuse the Prime Minister of corruption and bending the law."
"Now?" The emperor thought he had something wrong with his ears and heard wrongly.
The witnesses killed him and refused to acknowledge him. There is no such person in the registration list. How can we check it now?
Hua Yanxi nodded: "Now, in front of everyone, my daughter-in-law will reveal the Prime Minister's mask."
When the emperor heard this, he became excited. He rubbed it with his fingers and his eyes twitched.
"Okay, you start."
Hua Yanxi nodded and said to the emperor: "This place is too small. Please ask your father and daughter-in-law to go outside the hospital with your daughter-in-law. The evidence is right outside."
Everyone was in an uproar and looked at each other.
The emperor was excited and walked out quickly, followed by the courtiers behind him.
As soon as they left the yard, everyone saw the neatly packed boxes placed in the yard.
At a glance, there were at least more than twenty boxes, and at this moment, there were guardsmen carrying boxes over.
After seeing these boxes, the Prime Minister's face turned pale, his steps faltered, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
People who were originally standing with him subconsciously stepped aside, fearing that he would get involved.
There was a vacuum around the Prime Minister, leaving a blank space, which further highlighted his embarrassment at the moment.
It's over, it's all over.
"What are these?" The emperor already had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.
Eunuch Wan stepped forward and opened a box casually.
Everyone was blinded by the gold piled neatly in the alley.
"Open all the other boxes for me!" the emperor said angrily, his tone trembling.
After a while, more than forty boxes were moved to the yard and all were opened.
Various arrays of gold, silver and jewelry came into view, and those who looked at them were dazzled.
The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.
The Prime Minister, who always prided himself on being clean and honest, actually had so much property hidden in his house. The words he said in the hall at the beginning were like a slap in the face.
This slap not only hit the Prime Minister's face, but also the ministers who had just united with the Prime Minister to ask the Emperor to issue an order to punish the fifth prince and his wife were also painfully slapped by this slap.
According to the laws of Dachu, officials who are greedy for a thousand taels of silver can be punished, and those who are greedy for more than one million are punishable by death. These boxes in front of me are enough for the prime minister to punish the nine tribes several times.
"Prime Minister, what did you say in the first place? Those who purify themselves will purify themselves? Could it be that these things dug out of your backyard were also framed by someone who wanted to frame you for deliberately burying this incredible wealth?" Hua Yanxi said sarcastically.
This irony really hurts my heart.
There are only a handful of people in the whole country who can have such wealth. Who would spend all their wealth just to bury it in the backyard and wait to be discovered one day?
The Prime Minister looked at Hua Yanxi steadily, denying it was useless, and simply asked: "Why do you know?"
Immediately, the Prime Minister suddenly realized: "You have known it for a long time, but you didn't tell me for a long time, and you just waited for the truth to slap you in the mouth. You are so cruel."
If Hua Yanxi had directly said that she had found the treasure from the very beginning, then why did he have to fight back just now?
Those words and efforts just now have become a joke now.
"If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself."
The Prime Minister smiled bitterly: "Yes, these silver coins are all mine, but what can I do even if I have these gold and silver?"
