Facing the intimidating eyes of His Highness, Zheng Huan calmly took out a thick stack of complaints from his sleeves, knelt down respectfully, and loudly reported: "Your Majesty, Chief Superintendent of Changning County, Zheng Huan, are bold.
I am going to file a lawsuit against Han Zhen, the governor of Changning County, and 108 state officials, for violating the law and enclosing fertile farmland, oppressing the people, embezzling public pay, and killing loyal people and other 48 major crimes."
Lin Jinxiao knew that what Zheng Huan stated must be true, but what he did today was really intolerable.
If everyone is like him and wants to scold him for cursing the court and then impeaching him, in the future, everyone in Pingning Prefecture will be able to ride on his neck and dominate.
Glancing coldly at the officials with different expressions under the hall, he didn't reply and walked straight into the hall with his cane.
Seeing that King Pingning had no intention of dealing with Zheng Huan's impeachment papers, everyone else began to attack this person.
Lin Jinqian was the first to speak: "How dare you, Zheng Huan, speak arrogant words and falsely accuse your superiors. Do you know the laws of the imperial court?"
The governors of each county were also worried that someone under their control would commit such a disrespectful act, and they all echoed: "This guy is really bold and disrespectful to His Highness. At this time, he comes to slander the governor with baseless words. He has ulterior motives. He should be executed as a warning to others."
"Please, Your Highness, punish Zheng Huan severely."
Shouts of murder were heard from the crowd.
When Tang Ru saw this, a sly smile flashed across his face:
It seems that Lin Jinxiao really does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world, and only a fool would go against the entire officialdom with a few words of instigation from a reckless man.
Listening to the angry roars around him, Zheng Huan murmured in his heart, and the big hands holding the complaint high began to tremble.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked at Chu Nanzhi and His Royal Highnesses and princesses who were standing at the top of the jade steps. He asked with a plaintive expression: "Princess, everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no lie. I dare to use this to harmonize our family."
The lives of seventy-three people above and below are guaranteed."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't bear to close her eyes.
This man may indeed have a magnanimous heart and want to plead for the people, but his tactic of sensationalizing and attracting people's attention is really unacceptable, so it's no wonder that the pretty boy left quietly.
Now that the prologue has begun, we have no choice but to let this person suffer some injustice, sharpen his spirit, and let him taste the feeling of being an abandoned son, so that Tang Ru can completely fall into this mess.
Only in this way can we naturally grasp the handle of Tang Ru.
Taking a long breath secretly, she also looked at Tang Ru pretending to be confused, and deliberately asked: "What does the Grand Governor think of this matter?"
Seeing her taking the initiative to inquire about him, Tang Ru felt a burst of joy in his heart, and then he answered righteously: "Princess Qi, this Zheng Huan must be deliberately slandering the Han Prefect and trying to collude with the people of Baiyu to do evil."
"Oh, I see."
When Chu Nanzhi heard this, she felt nauseated and vomited. She quickly waved her hands and said: "I am not feeling well. I will immediately put Zheng Huan in jail and order the governor to handle the state affairs on my behalf."
After saying that, he led the quadruplets into the main hall.
The stern look in Tang Ru's eyes that had been hidden for a long time was finally exposed at this moment, and he loudly shouted to the crowd: "Take Zheng Huan to prison, and immediately send troops to Changning County to exterminate the traitors."
"Your Highness, Princess, I am sincere and only care about the stability of Pingning Prefecture. You two must not trust others' instigation."
Zheng Huan was being dragged and escorted, still shouting injustice and injustice: "Your Majesty is stupid, Your Majesty is stupid, you actually handed over the important granary of our empire into the hands of such incompetent people. The empire is in danger."
As Zheng Huan was dragged down, many people under the jade steps couldn't help but lower their heads sadly. The rest of the people clapped their hands and crowded around Tang Ru, and proudly said: "Congratulations to the Governor."
"Today is the congratulations to His Highness. We should go into the palace to congratulate His Highness and the Princess."
Tang Ru lost all scruples and said with an unscrupulous smile: "Unfortunately, your highness, the princess is both ill. Today's banquet can only be hosted by this governor. All colleagues please come in."
Chang Yanjue and Nie Huaian looked at this junior's suddenly proud face and were not used to it. They silently led the students' family members and Lin family members into the main hall.
Watching everyone enter the hall, Kang Xiu whispered to Tang Ru: "Why doesn't the Grand Governor directly ask the princess to kill Zheng Huan?"
"Hey, don't rush this matter."
Tang Ru waved his hands carelessly: "What the couple did today is probably to test me. If I kill this person in a hurry, it will make them think that I am protecting Han Zhen. I am serious.
Huan has angered King Pingning today and he will never trust this person again. If Zheng Huan doesn't think about himself, he will also think about his family and his family, so he will definitely not speak easily again."
"The Governor is really smart."
After Kang Xiu understood his intention, he finally showed a look of awe.
Lin Jinqian was even more proud: "This princess has long said that Kang Sili does not need to worry too much. How can I, brother and sister-in-law of the king, have the mind to take care of the affairs of Pingning Prefecture now? If he does not rely on my consort, his fiefdom will be changed sooner or later.
surname."
"Changing his surname is not a big deal. As long as he is willing to serve King Qinghe, King Qinghe may be able to reward his family with a hot meal after he takes over Jinling City."
Encouraged by the couple's words, Kang Xiu gradually became excited and felt that it was no longer difficult to win over the Jiangnan nobles.
The banquet in the main hall has begun, and Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi both entered the Chunhua Residence in the main hall.
Seeing the listless appearance of the couple as well as His Highness and the Princess, the officials in the palace were extremely anxious.
Hai Da'a invited the royal doctor to come over, but Chu Nanzhi just asked the doctor to take his pulse, and then ordered Chief Shi Song Liao to go to the main hall to help host the banquet.
The female family members include Liu Yun and the clan aunt Zhou, and there are two mistresses there, so she is not worried about anything going wrong.
After Song Liao left, Chu Nanzhi dismissed the other attendants because Lin Jinxiao was unwell and needed to rest, and ordered Tang Weiming to guard the courtyard gate, leaving only Hai Da'a and Yin Liuxuan, the two leaders in charge of internal and external affairs of the palace, and the captain.
Deputy Governor Li Ce and his wife.
In the quiet inner hall of Chunhua Residence, Li Ce looked at the direction of the inner room from time to time, wanting to see the current situation of his brother.
Since entering the Duwei Mansion, he and Lin Jinxiao have become much more distant. Although he understands the mission he has to shoulder, he still cannot help but worry about his brother's safety.
Chu Nanzhi saw the uneasiness on his face and immediately ordered: "Please sit down, everyone."
Waiting for everyone to sit down, Chu Nanzhi also went straight to the point and asked: "Erlang has lived in the capital for a long time. He should know something about Zheng Huan. Do you know where his family members are now?"
Yin Liuxuan narrowed his eyes and replied thoughtfully: "This person's parents, wife and children are still in the capital. I heard that after he was transferred to Changning County, he took in three concubines. He should still be in the county."
"Although Zheng Huan was a little reckless and rude, he has not yet been convicted. Besides, the harm will not harm his wife and children. He will have to trouble Erlang to write to your father and give him more protection for his family."
After finishing speaking, Chu Nanzhi looked at Hai Da'a with a smile: "Chief Hai's hands and eyes are all over the sky. In order to avoid learning from the past, I have to rely on you to take care of me in the state capital prison. Don't let this person commit suicide in prison out of fear of crime.
"
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Hai Da'a's mouth. Knowing that she was reminding the governor of Funing County about Xing Huan, he quickly nodded: "Don't worry, Princess, as long as Your Highness does not let Zheng Huan die, I will definitely let this person die."
Live well in prison."
"very good."
After explaining the matter, Chu Nanzhi calmly ordered the two of them to go out, and his eyes slowly turned to Li Ce and his wife.
