"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Miss! Didn't you just chop off your head when you told me what happened? It's not enough for you to kill Xiaoyi alone! You actually implicate all of us!"
Xiaolan was so frightened that she shook like chaff. She shook Li Yue's sleeves and kept crying, but Li Yue threw her away with a cold face.
When Yin Yuli heard this, he became even more angry. Before he could get angry, some courtiers immediately urged the imperial army to take them down.
When Yin Yuli's anger subsided a little, he said: "Eunuch Luo! Prepare the decree! Tang Zhixing is especially good at business, proficient in arithmetic, talented, and has a photographic memory. Therefore, he is named Da Si Nong! His mother Tang is diligent and gentle.
Jia, Shude has a seal, and she is made a first-grade imperial wife! She is given an official residence, a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred hectares of fertile land!"
The Minister of Household Affairs hurriedly said: "Da Sinong? Your Majesty! You must not do it! Managing the treasury is a big deal! The post of Da Sinong controls the economic lifeline of our Xiliang. The capable businessmen and other ministers in the Tang Dynasty have heard about it, but he is still young.
You are still young, how can you bear this heavy responsibility?"
"Okay! I have made up my mind, no need to persuade anymore."
Tang Zhixing and his mother Tang knelt down to express their gratitude.
"I would like to thank you for your grace!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank the Emperor for your appreciation of your trip to the Tang Dynasty! I will certainly live up to the Emperor's high expectations!"
"Well, get up." Yin Yuli called again: "Now that the truth has been found out, Eunuch Luo, please send someone to release Jinse from the prison and let him enter the palace to see me immediately."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Cui Jing was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect that all the Li family were evil people! Fortunately, no one knew about the fact that he had accepted Li Yue's money.
However, the Imperial Guards sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice came back alone.
The imperial guard said: "To report to the emperor, Mr. Jinse said that life in the prison is very comfortable. He does not want to come out and wants to stay longer."
"Nonsense! There are so many people outside waiting for him to save their lives! How dare he keep his temper?!"
Yin Yuli seemed to be too angry and actually had a toothache.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jinse said that he asked Lord Cui that day if he wanted to seek justice for that vicious woman, but Lord Cui sentenced him to death indiscriminately! He was imprisoned for many days, and he still couldn't figure out why.
Because of this, the more I think about it, the more I feel aggrieved. If Master Cui doesn’t give him an explanation, he won’t come out!”
It’s over! Dead!
Jinse is trying to drive him to death!
Explanation? What explanation do you want?
Jinse was forcing him to admit to the crime of framing others after taking bribes!
In the flash of lightning, he suddenly remembered what Huo Ji had said to him that day.
'Master Cui, if you ask for something from me in the future, you must be more sincere and let me see your sincerity.'
Could it be that Huo Ji and Jinse had known for a long time that there would be a plague?
No wonder!
No wonder Jinse was so happy that day and even couldn't wait to go to jail!
No wonder they even encouraged him to close down Jinxuan Hospital!
He is killing his way out!
Even if they have no evidence to prove that Jinse is not the culprit, the emperor will not let Jinse die based on Jinse's medical skills alone!
Cui Jing knelt on the ground and said inarticulately: "Your Majesty, I was also deceived that day, and since Jinse voluntarily confessed, I didn't investigate further!"
Yin Yuli was silent, and Huo Ji smiled and said: "Master Cui, even I don't believe your rhetoric. Do you think Jinse, who was sentenced to death by you, will believe it?"
"Your Majesty! That day in court, you"
"In court, you openly slandered Jinse for having an affair with my king's concubine, and then sentenced Jinse to death without careful investigation! I can see this clearly. You are in charge of the prison, but you care about human life!
Do you want me to read out the hidden secrets in this for you one by one?"
A gentleman's revenge is never too late.
Cui Jing watched with despair as Huo Ji unfolded a booklet. With just one glance, he collapsed on the ground in shock.
That is the record book of bribes paid to him by the officials below him! How could it fall into the hands of Huo Ji!
"Your Majesty, Cui Jing accepted bribes and wasted no time on people's lives. Please, Your Majesty, please be more careful!"
A young eunuch took the booklet from Huo Ji's hand. After Yin Yuli took it, he glanced at it. There were about dozens of officials and merchants, large and small, who bribed Cui Jing. Not only that, but there were also people who accepted bribes from Cui Jing.
The officials are all listed one by one.
The new round of low pressure made all the ministers so scared that they did not dare to breathe. They all knew very well that if this book was handed over, the court would undergo a major change.
Sure enough, after comparing the list of officials recorded in the book, Yin Yuli punished them one by one and did not tolerate them.
This game of chess was undoubtedly won by Su Zhen and Huo Ji.
One wave after another, the plague that broke out in the city has not yet been resolved, and the officials in the court have undergone a major change. For a while, people were panicked.
The news that Cui Jing was dismissed from his post and sent to a prison soon spread to Su Zhen's ears, but she was still in no hurry to get out.
Yin Yuli sent people to appeal three times and four times, but Su Zhen still refused to be released from prison.
As for Gongzi Qi and the doctors of the Pei family, it was as if they had evaporated, and their searches were fruitless.
It is obvious that Su Zhen went to jail on purpose!
Prison Department of Punishment.
Su Zhen crossed her legs and knocked on melon seeds, looking at Yin Yuli with a smile.
All the jailers in the prison were kicked out, leaving only three of them and Eunuch Luo.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"
"Su Zhen! Now the people are in dire straits, but you are hiding in this prison and refusing to get out! What's the reason?"
Su Zhen spat out the melon seeds in her mouth, twitched her lips and said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that these people are your subjects, not mine. I will save them if you ask me to. Then
Aren’t I very shameless?”
"Mr. Su, the emperor has personally come to invite you out. Don't push yourself too far!" Eunuch Luo said angrily.
"I have been imprisoned for so many days, and you arrest me whenever you want, and release me whenever you want? Eunuch Luo, haven't you heard the saying that it's easier to invite God than to send him away?"
"What do you want?"
Yin Yuli calmly sat next to Su Zhen, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her hand and started to crack them.
"Su has no shortage of money and power. He just needs the emperor to fulfill his promise, open up the trade route between Luoqi and Xiliang, and then give all the shops under the Jinxuan banner the imperial certification and help us implement it."
"You voluntarily went to jail just so that I could fulfill my promise?"
Su Zhen raised her eyebrows and chuckled, unable to comment.
"I heard that you and Prince Luo Qi Shangyichen are close friends."
"Not just a good friend, but a good brother."
"He is still in the posthouse. If you dare to threaten me, are you afraid that I will kill him? Anyway, Xiliang and Luoqi have been at war for hundreds of years, and I am not afraid of starting another war!"
"Kill him!" Su Zhen cracked the melon seeds and smiled indifferently. She seemed heartless, but what she said made people shudder: "If you let him shed a drop of blood, I will kill Xiliang!
If you let him cut off one of his hands, I will destroy your entire city! If you dare to let him die, then you, Xiliang, will no longer exist in the world!"
