Seeing Manbao running toward the main hall, the fifth prince felt a thunderbolt hit him on the head. He took a moment to recover, and then ran after him.
Ji Hao also chased after him.
When Chang Yu saw it, he turned to the stunned Ming Da and said, "You walk slowly, I'll go take a look."
Then he ran away and followed.
The sixth prince also became excited. He jumped up and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Mingda. She turned to look at Yin He and Bai Erlang who were standing aside.
Yin You's face was expressionless, and Bai Erlang's eyes were filled with tears, but neither of them went after Man Bao.
Mingda didn't know what Man Bao was going to do, but she knew that it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise she wouldn't have sent Yin He and Bai Erlang out of the palace in advance.
Mingda held the sixth prince and asked him to wait a little longer until the chariot arrived. Then she said to Yin You and Bai Erlang: "You go, they will send you to the palace gate."
Yin You nodded and pulled Bai Erlang onto the chariot.
Li Yunfeng on the side patted the dirty things on his body, glanced at them contemptuously and said: "Leaving the palace to bring in reinforcements at this time? Hey, can you bring them here?"
Bai Erlang glared at her hatefully, bit his mouth and said nothing.
The eunuchs carrying the chariot trotted towards the palace gate.
Li Yunfeng didn't want to be too embarrassed when she appeared in the main hall. She just hit a civilian. She didn't think it was a big deal. If she dared to go to the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandmother, she would be dragged down before she even got to the main hall.
So she wasn't worried at all. She turned around and held Qiuye's hand to wash up and change clothes.
Manbao ran all the way towards the main hall. This time she did not go to the back hall, but ran towards the front hall.
The fifth prince ran to catch up. He thought he could catch up with Man Bao soon, but he couldn't catch up because she ran too fast.
But he thought, people might be stopped in front of the front hall, right?
After all, she described herself as embarrassed and still running around the palace.
As a result, she ran into the main hall without any obstruction, followed closely by the fifth prince, Ji Hao and Princess Chang Yu, who also ran in without having time to think too much.
Man Bao walked to Bai Shan step by step and knelt down. He used this time to sort through the evidence collected in the space. Then he took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the emperor and the queen mother sitting above.
Now that this is the case, let’s just say it all together. If we really want people to lock them up and slowly find evidence, who knows what will happen to them?
Only if they take out enough things, their chance of survival will be greater.
Manbao reached into his arms and took out an account book and said: "Your Majesty, this is the account book that County Magistrate Bai brought from Yizhou City twelve years ago. It is evidence that the King of Yizhou embezzled money for the repair of Mo Jianwei Weir.
"
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids to look at her and asked: "Aren't you a doctor? Why are these things on you?"
There were tears in Manbao's eyes. She stubbornly raised the account book in her hand and said, "I am a doctor, but I also have a grudge against the King of Yizhou for killing my father and my mother."
Man Bao was still afraid that she wouldn't ask, so before the emperor could stop him, she said in rapid succession: "Twelve years ago, Magistrate Bai found out that the King of Yizhou was planning to rebel, so he ran away with the evidence, and met him on the road.
He killed my parents and gave the things to my parents for safekeeping, but my parents did not escape the assassination of King Yizhou, but the evidence was hidden by them, and we only found it recently."
The emperor motioned to Gu Zhong to get the account books.
The Queen Mother said: "The flood in Yizhou has long been concluded. It was caused by corruption and perversion of the law by the former governor and governor of Yizhou. The king of Yizhou was just deceived. You unscrupulous people are slandering the king of Yizhou with just some rumors..."
Manbao then reached into his arms and took out another booklet and said: "This is the account book of the iron ore mine opened privately by the King of Yizhou. It only has records of the output of the iron ore in the past two years. But based on those outputs, it can provide a
The weapons and equipment needed for the battalion army, and now, twelve years have passed."
Not only the emperor, but also all the ministers could not help but shrink their pupils.
King Yizhou finally walked around the table and walked out. He lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
Manbao glanced at him, reached into his arms, and took out an account book and said: "Your Majesty, this is the booklet that King Yizhou purchased from various places twelve years ago. From this book, we can deduce the number of grains he bought from various places twelve years ago.
How many people do you support as a private army?"
The emperor stared at her chest, wondering how she managed to stuff this thick account book into her arms without being able to see clearly.
No, didn’t they come into the palace to celebrate their birthday?
Could it be that they hit it off with him and want to file a complaint today?
Just when the emperor was deep in thought, King Yizhou turned to them and sneered: "You framed me twelve years ago, but you chose a good time. The people from twelve years ago are long gone. You can slander me as you like."
king."
Man Bao glanced at him, reached into his sleeve and took out a letter and said: "Your Majesty, my dear, there is also a letter of denunciation written by someone here to Magistrate Bai. That person is an aide of King Yizhou. It is precisely because of this
After a letter of denunciation was issued, Magistrate Bai knew that the King of Yizhou was raising a private army."
Man Bao raised his lips and said: "And the aide who abandoned the dark and turned to the bright side not only left this informant letter, but also letters between the King of Yizhou and some wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials, and powerful people. County Magistrate Bai and my parents are dead, but
Those people are not dead."
The emperor flipped through the account book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zhou Man steadily for a while, then motioned to Gu Zhong to get it.
Gu Zhong came down again to pick up the things and handed them to the emperor.
Man Bao reached into his sleeve and took out another stack of letters, "These letters are the evidence collected by County Magistrate Bai twelve years ago. My daughter brought them to the palace this time."
emperor:……
All the ministers were also stunned and looked at the pale-faced King of Yizhou.
Man Bao's eyes seemed to be filled with light as he stared at the emperor and raised the letter in his hand higher.
The emperor looked helplessly at Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong went down and took it again.
The emperor opened the letter and read it. The content was exactly the same, but the handwriting was a little softer and the imitation was not very similar. Even the paper was not aged. Obviously, they just wanted to copy it, not to add another piece of evidence.
.
He just said that he already had the original evidence, so how could they have another piece of evidence?
The emperor sighed, and this sigh had different meanings in different people's ears.
Wei Zhi and Mr. Old Tang looked at each other, and of course they knew that the evidence Zhou Man produced must be false and could not withstand careful scrutiny in the main hall. The two immediately went out and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly."
.”
Other ministers also came to their senses and came out to kneel down, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly."
The fifth prince, Ji Hao and Princess Changyu who were still standing in the main hall looked at all this with their mouths open. Didn't they just have a fight?
Why don't you ask about the fight between Zhou Man and Li Yunfeng?
The Queen Mother clenched the handle of the chair, raised her hand to support her head and cried out: "Oh, my head..."
The maid serving the Queen Mother immediately screamed, "The Queen Mother——"
