"Xuan." The old emperor's voice was weak, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.
Only people in the palace knew that the old emperor would lose strength whenever he was dealing with government affairs. Once he stopped handling government affairs, he would not lose to the young people in the harem.
Of course, that is also related to the medicine he has been taking recently. Recently, he has placed special trust in a Taoist priest. The elixir refined by that Taoist priest is very effective, and he takes one every day.
Jiang Fengyang walked in with his head lowered, and first saluted the emperor: "I have met your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"What are you doing in the palace at this time?" the emperor said calmly.
"Wei Chen has something to write to us." Jiang Fengyang did not dare to raise his head. "It concerns Lu Yi, the young minister of Dali Temple. Although Wei Chen is a colleague with him, he is not ashamed of what he did. I will refer to him now."
"What do you want to do with him?"
"This is the criminal evidence I have collected about Lu Shaoqing. I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look at it."
The old eunuch took a box from Jiang Fengyang's hand.
He first opened the box and checked it to make sure there were no hidden weapons or poisons before placing it in front of the old emperor.
The old emperor took a few cursory glances and sneered: "There are quite a few charges. It seems that this Lu Yi is restless!"
Jiang Fengyang felt happy.
Originally he gave it a try this time, but now it seems he got it right.
When the man handed these things to him, he hesitated. But he thought that if he offended that man, he would not get any good results. Anyway, Lu Yi regarded him as a thorn in his side, so he might as well take the risk. If he succeeded, he would be rewarded.
This nail can be pulled out, but if it fails, it can be said that he was also deceived and gained a good reputation as a loyal minister.
"Your Majesty." Prince Zhong suddenly spoke.
Jiang Fengyang: "..."
He never raised his head, unaware that there was another person in the palace.
"My dear minister, I also have some things here. Please take a look at them, your Majesty." Prince Zhong said.
"Hand it over."
Jiang Fengyang raised his head and looked at King Zhong.
The latter took out an envelope from his arms.
The envelope looked familiar, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
The old eunuch still wanted to check, but the old emperor was impatient, grabbed it, opened it and looked at it: "You rebellious minister! How dare you say goodbye to others, and don't even look at whether your ass is clean or not. Okay, I
This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person like you.”
Jiang Fengyang knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
That envelope...
He remembered.
When he first took up his post at Dali Temple, he was threatened by a person while handling a case and did many things for him. Later, the person died and the matter was settled.
He thought he would die without proof, but he didn't expect that the man would leave such evidence.
He did a lot for that person, and he also used his authority to release his people, who were all rebels.
It’s over!
Jiang Fengyang felt chills all over.
In the dog days of summer, his heart was as cold as ice and his whole body was filled with despair.
"Someone, drag this bitch down and take him to the Criminal Department for trial."
"yes."
Prince Zhong lowered his eyes and stood there silently.
The emperor drank a cup of tea, calmed down and said: "Let Lu Yi enter the palace."
So many people are targeting Lu Yi, which can only mean one thing, that is, Lu Yi makes them afraid.
How can such a good chess piece not be put to good use?
From the Criminal Department, Mu Siyu and Zhuang Fuzi were eating and drinking, and suddenly a "new guy" came into the prison. Looking at the new guy again, he turned out to be a familiar face.
"Master Jiang?"
Jiang Fengyang was wearing prison uniform, and his whole person was lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.
Master Zhuang said: "Don't pay attention to him. People who just come here are like this. After a while, he won't even have a chance to do this."
"Why?"
"Silly, of course he was beaten to the point where he didn't even have a good piece of meat. It's a luxury to think of staying in jail quietly like this."
"Sir, please come this way." The Yamen Master respectfully welcomed an adult in official uniform.
That person is the Minister of Punishment.
Xingbu Shangshu first looked at Mu Siyu and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
"If Mrs. Lu needs anything, just ask her people to arrange it." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice said, "Madam, don't worry, there must be some misunderstanding and it will be resolved in two days."
Looking at it like that, Lu Yi must not have suffered any loss outside. Not only did he not suffer any loss, he also had the upper hand. Otherwise, these old foxes would not be so polite to a prisoner.
"Excuse me, sir." Mu Siyu was not polite, "Everything else is fine, I just want to eat fruit. You know, pregnant people are picky and want to eat something new."
"No problem, I will order someone to make arrangements immediately."
The Minister of Punishment went to see Jiang Fengyang again.
He didn't say anything, looked at Jiang Fengyang and left.
The prison became quiet again.
Master Zhuang said: "It seems that I am going to lose."
"There is no result yet, why did you give up so quickly?" Mu Siyu said.
"Your man seems to be a capable man." Master Zhuang said, "You haven't suffered any grievances since you came in. That's not just because you bribed him with money. He must have done something to make things better. You just have to do something to make things better."
You need to wait here quietly for him to pick you up. I have become somewhat interested in your man."
Two days later, Mu Siyu did not go out, but someone came in.
"Let me go, I don't want to go in, I don't want...mother...save me..." Jiang Zi was pushed in.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Rong, who had always been extremely gorgeous, was rudely pushed in.
Mrs. Rong's face changed drastically when she saw Mu Siyu.
However, seeing that Mu Siyu was also in prison, his expression softened a bit.
Mu Siyu looked at Mrs. Rong and chuckled, "You look really embarrassed now."
"What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Don't forget, you can't protect yourself." Mrs. Rong said harshly.
"Are we really the same? Do you really think so?" Mu Siyu said calmly, "If so, then I pity you."
"Husband (father)..."
The prison officer pushed in a man covered in blood.
Seeing that person, the mother and daughter called out at the same time.
When Jiang Fengyang saw the mother and daughter, his expression changed.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Fengyang said weakly.
"Our home was ransacked." Mrs. Rong said angrily, "What on earth did you cause? Aren't we good? How can we say it's gone?"
Jiang Fengyang patted the prison door: "Let me out, I want to see Mr. Jiang Ge."
"I have an engagement, I have an engagement." Jiang Zi suddenly thought.
She was particularly resentful of this marriage before, but now she found that this marriage had become her life-saving straw. She even regretted that she should not postpone the marriage. If she had agreed to the Chu family earlier, nothing would have happened now.
"You'd better not think about who you're meeting." The officials from the Ministry of Justice were alarmed and gave him some advice, "If you want to survive, then cooperate and find a way to make a contribution."
