The emperor glanced at Gu Fenglin gloomily and did not ask him, but closed his eyes slightly.
Jiang Shichao was very happy when he saw it.
The emperor was tacitly allowing them to continue to criticize Gu Fenglin.
If you want to get Gu Fenglin, you must first get Mu Yunhan.
Thinking that Mu Yunhan had easily snatched away several businesses from their family, and then thinking about the children who were left in her hands, Jiang Shichao wanted to eat her alive.
With another wink, the censor laid out a string of evidence: "According to investigations, Mu Yunhan's Yaoshantang has been purchasing fireworks and firecrackers on a large scale since the year before.
There was not enough in Beijing, and people were even sent to the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi to collect them. Half of the fireworks in Beijing were handled by Yaoshantang.
There was a firework that didn't explode last night, and there was a mark on it, which was sold by Yaoshantang..."
After the censor concluded, he shouted loudly: "I request that the Medicinal Food Hall be sealed off immediately! There may be many treacherous things hidden in it!"
Also, many of the expenses in the palace are supplied by the Medicinal Food Hall. Please seize these goods and investigate them carefully!"
At this point, he rolled his eyes and added seriously: "Your Majesty, this Mu Yunhan has always been a rebellious minister. It is inevitable that he will harbor resentment and wait for revenge!"
Wu Yanzhuang's eyelids twitched and he looked at Jiang Shichao and others calmly.
All the previous words are just to prepare for the last sentence.
And this last sentence is also the most fatal.
Although a long time has passed since the rebellion that year, it has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart.
Whether the emperor believed that Mu Yunhan was really treasonous or not was not that important.
The important thing is suspicion, coupled with resentment towards Gu Fenglin for being disobedient, and finding a scapegoat for any disaster that may happen one day.
These three things are enough.
As for the evidence, as long as the emperor believes it, it can be supplemented.
It must be said that the Jiang family had a good grasp of the emperor's character.
As expected, the emperor's face became increasingly ugly, but he still ignored Gu Fenglin and looked at Meng Xiang: "Meng Xiang, what do you think?"
Mengxiang took a step forward and saluted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I did not leave the house last night. My old wife was so angry with her rebellious son that she stayed in bed. After she recovered, she did not like to go out.
Lao Chen rarely had any leisure time throughout the year, so he stayed at home to accompany her. It wasn't until the middle of the night that he realized that such a big thing had happened outside.
The veteran wanted to go to the site to investigate, but he heard that the priest, General Wu, His Royal Highness Prince Xinling, and the Minister of Punishment were already in charge, so he did not intervene.
There are some details that I have not yet understood. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to listen in and understand what is going on before I can speak."
I have said so much, but it is all nonsense.
The emperor's face looked a little ugly, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He hoped that Meng Xiang could stand together with the Jiang family and take the opportunity to deal with and suppress Gu Fenglin.
But it's obvious that this cunning old guy just wants to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, and doesn't want to get involved.
So the emperor placed his hope in Wu Yanzhuang: "Wu Yanzhuang! I entrusted you with the guard of the capital, why have you neglected your duty to this point?"
Jiang Shichao winked at Wu Yanzhuang, saying that as long as he was willing to stand with him, he would be fine.
Wu Yanzhuang knelt down calmly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."
The emperor sneered: "How should I punish you? Kill you? Is your one life worth so many lives?"
"No." Wu Yanzhuang said: "But I believe that the most important thing at this moment is to find out the truth and find the real culprit." (To be continued)
