Zhuzhou Mu felt that Tang Miaoxin could conquer Rongzhou this time, but only with the help of Ning Guzhou and Mu Yunxiu, plus the quarrel between King Dingbei and Princess Dingbei.
He even felt that Tang Miaoxin still needed him if she wanted to take care of Rongzhou.
The people who came this time basically included the vast majority of the civil servants in Rongzhou.
If Tang Miaoxin accuses them all, the entire officialdom of Rongzhou will probably be in chaos.
Based on this idea, Zhuzhou Mu was very calm and adjusted his mentality.
He exchanged glances with the officials and then led them into the Dingbei Palace very calmly.
The moment they entered, the door to Prince Dingbei's Mansion was slammed shut.
Zhu Zhoumu glanced back and didn't take it too seriously. After all, there have been a lot of embarrassing things in the Dingbei Palace recently.
The door is always closed at ordinary times, so there is nothing strange about closing the door at this time.
But what happened next was somewhat different from the direction they expected.
Tang Miaoxin didn't waste any more time and met all of them directly.
After seeing them, she said in a friendly manner: "You guys came very quickly."
"I assume you all saw what you have in your hands?"
Zhuzhou Mu reacted the fastest: "Your Highness, I have been wronged! I have never done those things. Someone wants to harm me!"
Tang Miaoxin glanced at him indifferently and said quietly: "Really? Then I have something to ask Zhuzhou Mu to help me clear up."
Zhuzhou Mu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please speak."
Tang Miaoxin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Today, I went out to inspect the public sentiment, and happened to pass by Dingbei Prince's Mansion."
"Then someone came and teased me, saying that Mr. Zhu wanted to take a concubine in the 18th room."
"He also boasted that I have good looks and am qualified to be Master Zhu's concubine. And as long as I become Master Zhu's concubine, I will enjoy endless wealth and splendor in the future."
When Zhuzhou Mu heard this, his face turned pale with fright.
No matter how daring he is, he still knows that Tang Miaoxin bears the identity of the Crown Princess. Once such words are spoken, it will be disrespectful!
Tang Miaoxin didn't say much and asked Lu Xianchen to bring out all the servants of the Zhu Mansion, which would be regarded as bringing out witnesses.
Those servants had been frightened for a long time, not to mention that it was a fact that Tang Miaoxin was asked to be Zhuzhou Mu's concubine.
When they arrived, they immediately knelt on the ground and admitted their mistake.
Zhu Zhoumu knew this and could not deny it at any cost.
He had no choice but to kneel on the ground and say: "This servant talked nonsense and disturbed His Highness. It is because I have not disciplined you strictly. Please punish me!"
Tang Miaoxin said expressionlessly: "It seems that you really think that I am a fool, and you want to expose the matter with just a few words."
"After all, just like a master, there are like slaves. In the final analysis, you have robbed too many women from the common people over the years, and you won't let go of any beautiful woman you see."
This time, Zhuzhou Mu was so frightened that his face lost all color. He could only lie on the ground and said: "I am guilty!"
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "But your servant has good taste, and I also think I'm pretty."
Zhu Zhoumu: "..."
He wasn't quite sure what she was going to do, and sweat rolled down his forehead.
Tang Miaoxin ignored him and said to several officials behind him: "Zhuzhou Muse is very brave. I guess he has done a lot of bullying over the years."
"I am too lazy to check. You are familiar with him, so you probably know a lot about what he has done."
"I now accept your report against him. If the information provided by you is true and valid, I will absolve you of the crime of conflicting with me."
"Whoever makes the most reports will be considered for promotion."
When Lu Xianchen heard this, he glanced at Tang Miaoxin. He didn't believe that she would promote these people.
With her temperament, I'm afraid that all the people kneeling in the room will have their skin peeled off today!
He wanted to see how she would do this.
As soon as Tang Miaoxin finished speaking, the officials below looked at each other, but no one moved.
Tang Miaoxin was not worried when she saw them like this.
After taking a sip of tea, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said quietly: "If no one reports you, then I can only regard you as my accomplices."
She turned around and asked Ning Guzhou: "What is the crime of taking the crown princess as a concubine?"
Ning Guzhou said expressionlessly: "Search the house and destroy the nine tribes."
Tang Miaoxin asked again: "Then how should the accomplice be convicted?"
Ning Guzhou replied: "Search the house and kill the three clans."
In fact, there is no such provision in the law, because Tang Miaoxin is the only crown princess in the history of Gui Qian.
However, the authority of the royal family cannot be challenged. Not to mention the noble princess, even the unpopular princesses, no one dares to take them as concubines.
Tang Miaoxin raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the officials below and said, "If you want to be an accomplice..."
"I'm reporting this!" Mr. Li shouted loudly: "The Zhuzhou herdsmen robbed civilian girls as concubines. Those who didn't comply raped them first and then killed them. What they did was outrageous!"
After someone opened his mouth, others immediately echoed: "I have reported that the Zhuzhou pastoralists have invaded thousands of acres of people's farmland!"
"Many people were forced to sell their land to him at a low price, and then sell them as tenant farmers to farm for him!"
"I reported that he was arrogant and extravagant. He once held a banquet in the mansion and set up a wine pool and a meat forest..."
Tang Miaoxin listened with her head propped up on one hand and asked: "Since we are having a banquet in the mansion, who are you inviting?"
"He certainly can't do these things alone, who else is involved?"
This time no one spoke because they were all involved.
Zhuzhou Mu knew that he was doomed when he found out that his servant wanted to take Tang Miaoxin into his house as a concubine.
If these officials did not report him, he would just admit his guilt without knowing anything.
At this time, I heard that these people not only reported him, but also accused him of things he had not done.
He was completely annoyed.
Human psychology is actually very strange. When you are unlucky, you will think of dragging a few more people into trouble, and you cannot be the only one who is unlucky.
So he loudly said: "The officials I'm inviting to the banquet are the officials of Rongzhou, and they are all present!"
"If they accuse me, I will also accuse them!"
"They were involved in most of the things I did."
After he finished speaking, he went on to talk about several things that those officials had done.
Of course the officials refused to admit it, so he listed the evidence, time, location, victims, and participants, all accurate.
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to Tang Miaoxin: "These things are all true. Your Highness can check it at any time!"
"If even one word is false, I can accept any punishment from Your Highness!"
As soon as Zhu Zhoumu finished speaking, all the officials became anxious.
Tang Miao was happy that they were biting each other, so she drank tea leisurely and listened to them pouring dirty water on each other.
Once you start throwing dirty water, you can't stop.
After all, they have been colleagues for many years and are very familiar with each other. They can know the dirty information about the other party.
Tang Miaoxin didn't say much and just glanced at Lu Xianchen.
Lu Xianchen understood immediately, and took a pen and paper to frantically write down the dirt they exposed on each other.
At this point, he finally understood what Tang Miao wanted to do!
