The second princess was also offended by Mu Lingwei's complacent temperament. She thought her friend had been arrested and she was here to ask for help. But now, looking at it, it felt like she was here to inspect.
I saw Gao Cheng taking another step forward, deliberately lowering his posture, and said: "Xiaoguan Gaocheng is here to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. I wonder what the eldest princess wants to see about this official?"
Mu Lingwei also looked at Gao Cheng and said calmly: "This princess has already chatted with the second princess. Isn't what Master Gao asked nonsense?"
Gao Cheng was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Yes."
"You two are specially waiting for me. There is no need to beat around the bush. Let's just open the skylight and speak frankly! How can you let Yan Qi go?"
The second princess and Gao Cheng were startled when they saw her being so straightforward. She didn't ask what the person named Yan had committed or why he was imprisoned. Instead, she asked for him directly. She was really arrogant.
The second princess also wanted to humiliate her, and said coldly: "You should go out from here now, kowtow from the Yamen gate to the city gate, and then kowtow to me and admit your mistake. I, the princess, can consider letting your pretty boy go."
Mu Lingwei looked at her with a smile, still sitting firmly on the soft chair, and said: "I think this matter is not that complicated. Now we still have to spend some time. The second princess and Master Gao should sit down first.
Let’s talk slowly.”
The second princess was instantly furious. What did she mean? Wasn't she just here to save people?
Mu Lingwei is not stupid either. Every word the second princess says is just nonsense, and its purpose is just to humiliate her.
Then, she added: "You can sit down if you don't want to, it's up to you."
Everyone was slightly stunned, the eldest princess's momentum...
At this time, the second princess and Gao Chengcai looked at each other, wondering why she felt like she was the master here.
Immediately afterwards, the second princess also raised her sleeves majestically and sat on the main seat, while Gao Cheng sat next to her.
Gao Cheng also formally cut into the topic, put on an official air, and said in a deep voice: "This friend of the eldest princess broke the law. According to the laws of Yunyue Kingdom, what he committed was a capital crime because he unilaterally wanted to bribe
The imperial court ordered an official, and the official refused, so the crime was not punishable by death. However, he sold fake and junk goods to the imperial court, which was a fraud. Not only did he have to return the money, but he also had to be jailed for more than ten years according to the law, so even if His Majesty came in person
, I must handle the case in accordance with the law and cannot release the person."
After he finished speaking, Mu Lingwei did not speak, but listened quietly.
"So I can't help you." He added.
Mu Lingwei said: "In other words, there is no need for discussion. Master Gao will definitely handle this matter according to the laws of Yunyue Kingdom."
"As an official of the imperial court, that's natural." Gao Cheng didn't understand why she said this, so this answer should be the most appropriate.
At this time, the fourth princess couldn't sit still and said anxiously: "Second Emperor Sister, Mr. Gao, how much money does he have to pay to avoid going to jail? The Yan family is also a wealthy businessman, they must be able to afford the compensation. Since it was discovered early, there is no big problem."
If it's wrong, let him go, and the money will definitely be there..."
Gao Chengdao: "What the fourth princess means is that as long as the money is in place, I will release him?"
The fourth princess also wanted to nod, isn't that what she meant? It would be too embarrassing for the second princess to ask the eldest sister to kowtow and admit her mistake.
However, the second princess caught the fault of the fourth princess and said coldly: "Just by your words, I can arrest you in front of my father and ask my father to punish you. You dare to break into the court and bribe the court officials?"
, simply audacious.”
In an instant, the fourth princess was frightened and said quickly: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, can't it be enough to let the Yan family pay for it? How dare I bribe the Second Princess and Master Gao."
She thought: Who is still at odds with Yinzi? Is the Second Emperor's sister stupid for being angry?
At this time, Mu Lingwei said in a deep voice: "What kind of compensation should be paid? What crime did Yan Qi commit and he needs to pay compensation?"
She added: "Even if you are the second princess, you have to provide evidence when arresting someone. Even if the law of Yunyue Kingdom requires his head to be chopped off, you have to be convinced and provide evidence, otherwise this matter will spread.
, and when the commotion was brought to the Jinluan Palace, everyone thought that the Yamen of our Yunyue Kingdom was run by the Gao family and the second princess."
I saw the corners of the second princess's lips raised slightly, "Without evidence, does Mr. Gao dare to arrest someone? All the evidence is..."
Suddenly, the second princess was also very vigilant and suddenly changed her tone and said: "Mu Lingwei, you and your uncle cut off my bun and made this princess lose face. If you want to make this princess calm down, it depends on your performance."
and sincerity.”
Mu Lingwei really felt that the second princess was annoyed and said calmly: "It was an accident. Everyone can testify. Besides, doesn't the second princess' hair look very good?"
"You..." The second princess didn't want to talk to her anymore. She just wanted to take revenge on Mu Lingwei. Her hair was fine because she used part of a wig.
At this time, Mu Lingwei also took out a list and unfolded it in front of Gao Cheng and the second princess, and said in a deep voice: "You have evidence that Yan Qi bribed officials, and I just have something here to prove Yan Qi's innocence.
."
The eyes of the two of them flickered, and they had incredible expressions on their faces. They were sure that Mu Lingwei had no evidence in his hand and it was fake, because all the accounts signed by Yan Qi and Gong Shangshu were in their hands. When they made trouble at the Jinluan Hall, Yan Qi also ran away.
Don't fall off.
"I came today just because I don't want to make the relationship between the second princess and the Gao family too tense. If you let Yan Qi go, I will pretend that nothing happened." She added: "If the second princess is just because of the eldest princess,
There is really no need to retaliate against me because of the affairs of the palace, because your rival, Second Princess, is the eldest princess. If you spend time dealing with me, you might as well cultivate yourself and cultivate your character. Your temper is not suitable for being an empress."
"What did you say? Mu Lingwei, what did you say?" The second princess was a little excited.
The second princess was not like this originally. She had always been cautious, but she loved beauty the most. Her hair and every inch of her skin were her treasures, so she couldn't bear it anymore.
The second princess was about to speak when Mu Lingwei's eyes turned cold again and she said loudly: "I'll tell the second princess another piece of gossip. You can't afford to offend the Yan family. If you don't believe it, you might as well send someone to check on the head of the Yan family.
Yan Li’s reputation in the business circles of the four countries, Yan Qi was young and was framed by you when he first became the head of the family, it’s because he was not cautious enough.”
Gao Cheng also squinted his eyes slightly. He had indeed not checked carefully. He was arrested because the second princess ordered him to be arrested, and the batch of food was also because...
"What does the eldest princess mean?" Gao Cheng asked. After all, he was young and could only think with his lower body, so he was naturally frightened by Mu Lingwei.
"It means that if the combined wealth of the Yan family is to be compared with the Yunyue Kingdom's treasury, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as rich as the country. It is stupid for you to lock him up against me. If this princess goes abroad
After announcing this news, there are many people who want to win over the new head of the Yan family." She was exaggerating, but if she didn't say this, she wouldn't be able to attract them.
"Secondly, the batch of moldy and rotten grain you framed him for was just a hair taken from the Yan family, not even as good as a hair from someone else's. Think about it with your pig brains, he would come to defraud you like this.
Want some money?"
"Thirdly, they are obviously sending high-quality goods, but suddenly they have turned into low-quality goods. We might as well check carefully where those low-quality goods come from. I guess it is the Gao family or the second princess.
The public grains that were once embezzled are now eager to be replaced with good grains. If this is exposed, the emperor should send someone to investigate carefully and find out as soon as possible."
Gao Cheng stared at Mu Lingwei's face and felt shocked. How did she know?
Immediately afterwards, Mu Lingwei said: "Fourth, I have made it clear that part of these grains are really the commission that Gong Shangshu wants to extract. I guess Gong Shangshu is not the second princess. Does he have any clues?"
He was caught by you, that's why he betrayed Yan Qi. If the evidence in your hand can punish Gong Shangshu to death, the evidence in my hand can make him Gong's Manchu family confiscated and executed. You said that he is willing to protect himself.
Life, or the life of the clan."
After hearing this, Gao Cheng and the second princess felt chills running down their spines. What evidence did she have in her hand?
"Fifth, is there no rice in the Yunyue Kingdom's granary? I only buy grain from the Yan family to use in the deer competition. Are the contestants from all countries just losers? If I have to eat so much, won't my father check it carefully? I will.
The princess just counted a few for you, but the article is full of loopholes. It seems that the Gao family is not far away from death, and the eldest princess can enjoy the benefits!"
"You decide whether to let him go or not. I will sit here and wait. If Yan Qi loses even one hair, I will spread the news about you throughout the streets and alleys." Mu Lingwei said in a deep voice.
At this time, the second princess will think that Gong Shangshu is the eldest princess's man, and the purpose is to expose the Gao family and the second princess, and successfully suppress them.
Mu Lingwei also used this matter to sow discord.
At this time, another officer and soldier came in hurriedly and reported: "Master Qi, I don't know why, there are many people outside the yamen, most of them are literati. It seems that they want to meet someone?"
