It only took a moment for Yu Wenyao to calm down. The internal account was just one of the evidence, and Marquis Yongchang was currently mentally broken. As long as he was taken away and interrogated a little, he could achieve his goal, but it would be a little more troublesome.
Yu Wenyao's calm eyes glanced at the ferocious Marquis Yongchang, and then looked at the officials behind him. These people lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him.
Although they were brought by Marquis Yongchang, their allegiance was still to the Yuwen family. In this situation, everyone knew how to choose.
"Today's incident is already very clear. Under the guise of a routine matter, the Minister of Household Affairs was actually framed to frame Princess Lanling." Yu Wenyao paused for a moment and continued with an emphasis.
"As for the pleadings found from Wenyuanfang, due to the huge amount of money involved, I personally arrested the person and reported the matter to my father. If the corruption of Marquis Yongchang is true, the imperial court will definitely give an explanation to the people!"
"My lords, do you have anything else to add?"
"Third Prince Mingjian, we are convinced and have nothing to say." All the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and violent surprises came to their hearts. They had long heard that the Third Prince was virtuous and unconcerned.
It's still gentle breeze and drizzle, no punishment.
"I still have some official business, so I'm going to leave first." As if they had been granted amnesty, all the officials left this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible.
How could Yu Wenyao be in the mood to care about these little guys at this time? Marquis Yongchang was the biggest fish he wanted to catch. Seeing that the matter was over, Yu Wenyao ordered his guards to suppress Marquis Yongchang and walked out of the gate of Wenyuanfang together.
Standing at the gate, Yu Wenyao suddenly turned around and took a deep look at Xiao Wenjun. Unexpectedly, he did not see a disappointed look on her face, but looked back at him calmly without any emotion.
A sudden thought occurred to him. Could it be that she had planned to take him away?
The people outside the gate had been waiting impatiently for a long time. As soon as they saw people coming out, they threw the rotten vegetable leaves and peels at Yongchang Hou and cursed him while throwing them.
"Kill you, you idiot! You bully the people and do all kinds of evil!"
"There is no good person in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. He takes advantage of others by taking advantage of others and does not even spare the common people's livelihood!"
"Such an official who brought harm to the country and people, took bribes and violated the law should be killed to apologize!"
…
Public dissatisfaction boils over, but that’s all!
The people next to Yongchang Hou were also unlucky. A rotten egg wrapped in strong wind hit Yuwen Yao's door without any bias. The scene was too chaotic. He had no choice but to avoid it.
He reluctantly turned his head and narrowly escaped.
Jing Yan, who was following him, did not see the situation in front of him and came into close contact with the rotten egg. The egg exploded instantly, and a strong and disgusting smell rushed straight into his nose.
Vomit it out.
Yu Wenyao couldn't help but frown and looked in the direction where the rotten eggs came from, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Sure enough, they were some unruly people rolling in the mud, so uncultured!
He was already angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He gently ordered Jing Yan: "Find a carriage and put the people in it."
He then ordered the officials who followed him: "Seal the Chen Ji Rouge Shop and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and wait for instructions from the court."
The onlookers who were originally anxious and wanted to disperse in a hurry saw that the third prince not only did not blame them, but instead issued orders in an orderly manner, they admired Yu Wenyao's magnanimity even more.
Wang Jiuyuan, who was hidden in the crowd, took out another rotten egg and was about to throw it out, but was stopped by Ming Xiu in time.
"Master, when did you become a child? Princess Lanling didn't stop you. What are you doing?"
Wang Jiuyuan knew that he was wrong, so he kept silent, but he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart: he was a hypocrite who was putting on airs.
Just like that, Yu Wenyao quickly left with a group of people.
Women's favorite gossip is the affairs of the back house of a noble family, but the corruption of corrupt officials has been news for all ages since ancient times.
Therefore, the people talked about the incident of Yongchang Hou being taken away. Even a month later, the popularity of this incident did not decrease until another more shocking incident happened.
Halfway through the carriage, Yu Wenyao, who was riding a horse, also got on the carriage.
There was only Marquis Yongchang in the car. The crazy and ferocious look on his face faded, and he hid in the corner. With his face as pale as snow, he looked as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
When Yu Wenyao came in, he saw an old man in the corner. His body was covered with vegetable leaves, egg liquid and other filthy things. His eyes were dull and he was unpopular.
In fact, the Marquis of Yongchang was only in his forties, and he had been well-fed and cared for for many years. His well-maintained face showed no traces of time, so he definitely could not be called an old man.
"Marquis Yongchang?" Yu Wenyao was stunned for a moment and sighed in his heart. However, the same person changed so much from day to night that he almost couldn't recognize him!
"There is still hope for this matter, so there is no need to lose heart prematurely."
After a long time, the person in the corner remained motionless, and even the sound of breathing was barely audible.
"Master Hou, don't you want something to happen to Miss Chen?" Seeing him being so uncooperative, Yu Wenyao gradually lost patience.
Finally, Yongchang Hou reacted, his dull eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed over fiercely, reaching out to grab Yuwen Yao's front, "How dare you touch my daughter!"
"If the Marquis committed such a serious crime, confiscating his house and being exiled would be a minor offense!" Yu Wenyao held back the stench coming from Yongchang Marquis and pointed with two fingers.
Marquis Yongchang, who was hit in the arm, immediately lost his strength.
The space in the carriage was narrow, so he could only stop his extended claws.
"If the Marquis still wants to leave a way to survive, then cooperate well! There is not much time left for you. As long as you enter the gate of Dali Temple, I will have no control over what happens next!"
Originally, Yu Wenyao planned for Dali Temple to come directly to get the person, but later he thought it would be safer to come in person. Xiao Wenjun was too tough and might not betray Dali Temple's reputation.
"Go directly to Dali Temple?"
Dali Temple is not under the jurisdiction of the Six Ministries. It is an independent department that is directly responsible to the emperor. It is also the highest judicial institution of the Daqi Dynasty.
"What benefit does the Third Prince want from me?"
"Use all your wealth to buy Miss Chen a stable life!"
…
The carriage drove quickly to the entrance of Dali Temple. Marquis Yongchang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "The third prince has stirred up trouble in front of my father and daughter several times, and he has been waiting for this day, right? But I didn't expect you to join forces with Xiao Wenjun."
Hearing this, Yu Wenyao did not answer, but smiled lightly and said: "Master Hou, we are almost here, don't forget our agreement."
The matter has been settled, and there is no intention to explain that he and Xiao Wenjun have not joined forces, it is just a relationship between using and being used.
The carriage stopped, Yu Wenyao made a gesture of invitation coolly, and then heard a high-pitched voice outside.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Everyone in the car was stunned. Yu Wenyao retracted his hand in embarrassment, got out of the carriage calmly, and knelt on the ground. In this short period of time, he had already thought a lot in his mind about why he was at this time and place.
A sudden edict?
"The emperor ordered that Marquis Yongchang be escorted directly to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment will be fully responsible for this case."
