Accumulate Wealth in Life

Shuzi High Gate (55)

"Sue Ben Gong for a false accusation?" Mrs Gan looked at the **** who came to spread the word, but lightly tapped the table with her finger, and then smiled: "Okay, you can go and report it. Ben Gong will go over immediately."

The little **** withdrew in fear and sincerity. Only then did Mrs Gan turn to look at Lin Yutong, who was brooding, and said with a smile, "Looks like I really found a good son-in-law for you. You didn't write this book, nor was Xue Heng's handwriting. It could be prepared by my uncle. To be able to hold Chu Yuan by the nose and ask him to take advantage of the situation and bite the Gan family, this is not something that ordinary people can do." Even Chu Yuan's mind was guessed so accurately, which shows how well his mental methods are. Can my daughter live in someone else's house? The trace of unease in her heart climbed up again.

Lin Yutong first smiled with Yourong Yan, and then saw the worry flashing in Gan's eyes. After thinking about it for a while, I knew what she was thinking, but it was really her worrying. But he couldn't explain it to her. The more she explained, the more she felt that she trusted the fourth master too much. Lin Yutong gave a bitter smile in his heart, and simply changed the subject and said, "Now I ask Chu Yuan to put this matter on the bright side, and I will criticize you later, saying that you only framed the old officials of the three dynasties to avenge your own personal revenge. People are the most forgetful. As soon as the lips moved, black and white were instantly reversed." After speaking, she quickly ordered Mammy He, "Bring an umbrella and go now."

They not only sued Gan, but also sued themselves. This is raking grass and beating rabbits, and by the way, I want to get myself covered in mud.

Only then did Mrs Gan get up and calm down, "Let's go then." After speaking, she turned to look at Lin Yutong, "But you girl and uncle are both courageous enough, so you're not afraid that I won't be able to hold you down in the courtroom. Chu Yuan?"

"If it really can't be suppressed..." Lin Yutong looked at Gan's expression and became serious, "If it really can't be suppressed, then we have to plan another way out." The previous plan to replace it simply won't work. . This proves that you are not that piece of material at all.

Gan Shi immediately understood what Lin Yutong meant, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's right...good!"

It was raining heavily, and as soon as we stepped out of the hall, the pavement was greeted by a cool, moist wind.

Lin Yutong followed behind Gan, Sanxi was holding an umbrella, and a few palace maids helped Lin Yutong carry her skirt. With the boots on his feet on the wet ground, Lin Yutong had the urge to run. But Mrs Gan walked so unhurriedly, where is she going to plead, it's just like going to a banquet.

In front of the main hall, there are tall and long corridor steps. The mother and daughter were all dressed up and came here like this.

The **** who called the name saw them from a distance and shouted: "Concubine Chen is here—Princess Yunyin is here—" The tone was long, and the people inside followed the long tone one by one. Turn around and look outside the hall.

Outside the hall, two stunning palace-dressed beauties came in. This made everyone's eyes light up. Don't look at Gan's reputation, but there are not many people who have actually seen her true appearance, especially men, who basically have no chance to meet the female family members of the house. And Lin Yutong has always been troublesome, and her appearance is always half hidden. Today, under the insistence of He Ma Ma, the whole face is revealed. The appearance of the mother and daughter is actually 60-70% similar. They don't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters. The one who walked in front was older, but she looked like she was in her twenties. She was dressed in a black palace attire, which made her very dignified. And the people who walked behind were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Compared with the people in front, they were a little softer and more sassy. Especially between every move, in line with etiquette, but with a different kind of free and easy.

To say that the people in the hall were full of surprises, but only Lin Changgen, who was standing in the pile of honors, had the most complicated expression. This is my wife and daughter, what about now? He smiled bitterly, after so many years, she is still as beautiful as she was back then. Nothing has changed! I want to take a second look, but I am afraid that people will think more when they find clues. He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look over there.

Emperor Yongkang sat on the head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. His wife's "daughter" has a long face, which is a very face-to-face thing for him. Especially above this court, under the watchful eyes of the public, it is even more valuable to be able to suppress the place.

When he saw the mother and daughter salute, he got up, walked down the imperial steps, and personally helped the person up, "Get up, get up..."

This was also the first time that Chu Yuan had clearly seen the appearance of the Gan family. Even if there was a palace banquet before, it was rare to see her participating. Even if she did, he would not pay attention to the appearance of a woman hiding in a corner. Seeing this for a while, my heart skipped a beat. Two words popped up in my mind - calamity!

That's right! This is the disaster!

He frowned, then took his mind back. Whether it is a disaster or not is no longer his responsibility. Now bite the mother and daughter. The more the emperor wanted to keep them, the heavier the chips in his hand. The emperor did not have to make a compromise, and the Chu family kept it. As long as Duke Jin's mansion is there, the life of the Chu family will not be so bad. Jin Chengan helped him a little and moved people to the north, so he was not afraid that someone would retaliate.

He made a calculation in his own heart, and then looked straight at Emperor Yongkang: "Please, Your Majesty, make a clear decision."

Emperor Yongkang's face stiffened for a moment, before he smiled awkwardly at Mrs Gan, then turned around and sat back on the dragon chair: "Concubine Chen, Prime Minister Chu sued you for a false accusation, what do you say?"

Gan Shi nodded slightly to Emperor Yongkang, then glanced at Chu Yuan, and pointed at Xue Heng who was kneeling on the side: "What do you mean, Ben Gong instructed this person to play the Dengwen drum and falsely accuse you, right or not? "

Chu Yuan's brows wrinkled slightly, and he made a false accusation, but he didn't say that Xue Heng was instructed by her. But if the person who complained has nothing to do with the Gan family, this logic makes no sense. His heart was raised all of a sudden, this Gan family is really not a good stubble. Therefore, he glanced back and looked at Lin Yutong, "The maiden is in the palace, and the minister does not dare to bully himself." That is to say, I can't have any evidence that you bullied Xue Heng, but it is not without evidence outside the palace. People do this for you.

Everyone understood what this meant, and couldn't help but look at Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong just stood there, like I didn't understand anything. Xue Heng and Fang Zhao had doubts in their hearts, but felt that Prime Minister Chu's guess should be close to the truth. Because it is indeed the princess who is looking for them. Xue Heng was still able to maintain his composure, but Fang Zhao almost lost his power.

The Marquis of Jing'an had been paying attention to Fang Zhao, and at this moment he couldn't help but glanced at Lin Yutong thoughtfully. Guo Changhe, who had stepped back to the side, said in his heart as expected. He wasn't sure right now that this princess would find him before, whether it was the emperor's intention, her own intention, or Concubine Chen's intention.

However, Mrs Gan didn't care what others thought, she only looked at Chu Yuan: "Prime Minister Chu, who is talking inside and out? I also ask you to point it out in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in this great hall. You doubt it. Whoever works for this palace outside the palace, urge this person to sue the imperial court for falsely accusing you."

Everyone was surprised. This mother and daughter are really interesting. The daughter has been spoken to, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she can be calm. This Gan Shi was even sharper when he came up, and he almost didn't say it clearly. You don't want to insinuate yourself here. You want to say who you want to say. Their mother and daughter have become upright husbands, and Chu Yuan has become a villain.

This is how Chu Yuan can look good on his face, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. He sneered: "This old man has been in court for forty years and has gone through three dynasties. He is loyal to the royal family. You are the honorable concubine, and Princess Yunyin is also the emperor's concubine. ..." After speaking, he cupped his hands up, "Since Concubine Chen Gui said this, the old minister can't help it. What the minister is referring to is Princess Yun Yin. The old minister suspects that it is Yun Yin. The princess instructed Xue Heng!"

Looking at the finger that Chu Yuan pointed towards, Lin Yutong raised his head and smiled faintly.

Emperor Yongkang's eyes were deep for a moment, and he asked weakly: "My son... Yun Yin! What do you say?"

Lin Yutong felt that Emperor Yongkang's acting skills were excellent, and he paid extra attention to details regardless of the location and occasion. It's this time, he still hasn't forgotten to act, he wants everyone to think that he is his own son, this 'my son' made her feel goosebumps not only on her body, but also numb in the crevices of the bones. Whooping makes people want to shiver. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and called out 'Your Majesty'. He can call himself "my son" without pressure, but he can't really call him "father". She leaned back and saluted, "Your Majesty! I don't know something, and I want to ask Prime Minister Chu."

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "Confrontation! Naturally, it is mutual, if you want to ask, just ask, feel free to ask!" He also wanted to see how skilled Gan's daughter was. In the hall, the situation is changing rapidly. Therefore, some of these words cannot be rehearsed in advance. No one can teach her. It all depends on their ability to adapt and adapt. The performance in the main hall can best see a person's ability and character.

Lin Yutong nodded, looked at Chu Yuan, and asked, "Is this princess instigating a false accusation? That's not the point. The point is the word 'false accusation'! This behavior is called a false accusation. Then..." She said, and pointed to the book that was still in Chu Yuan's hand, "Is this a fabricated fact, has it been interrogated? Evidence, including witnesses and Have you seen the physical evidence? Has it been judged to be a false accusation? If so, then let's talk about whether this person was instigated by me."

Needless to say, everyone understands the rest. If the contents of this document are not false accusations, then the rest of the problem is not a problem. Even if it is confirmed that it is related to Princess Yunyin, so what? It's called exposing! Not only is there no fault, but also meritorious!

The eyes of everyone looking at Lin Yutong changed immediately. This princess is not only a face but no brains, nor is she young and unrepentant. On the contrary, she is shrewd and sharp-spoken, which is rare among women. Most people have a habit of defending themselves first. People all point out that you are guilty. Under that conditional reflex, you should first defend yourself to clear your suspicions. But she didn't argue, she pointed directly to the crux of the problem.

When Lin Yutong saw Chu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, he smiled in his heart, and he really thought he was easy to bully. She turned to look at Xue Heng on the ground, and then said to Emperor Yongkang, "Your Majesty, although Xue Heng is a commoner, but he sounded the Dengwen drum and presented a case, it is natural that his case should be tried first. He is the plaintiff. Later, when it is proved that what he is suing is a false accusation, and the prime minister of Chu is the victim, he has the right to hold the false accusers accountable. Now, because of the so-called old officials of the three dynasties, it is enough not to investigate or not to try, but instead they want to pursue the responsibility of the plaintiff. If your Majesty and all your lords have done what, if Emperor Tai|zu knew about it, how would you feel? What was the significance of setting up the Dengwen Drum in the first place?" After speaking, he turned around and bowed to Emperor Yongkang, "All beings in the world are Your Majesty. People. Why is there a distinction between the light and the heavy?"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cool air, and they were so eloquent. Chu Yuan used the old officials of the three dynasties to rely on the old and sell the old, and this one is waiting for him here. These remarks stand firm, whether it's Yuli or Fa.

It is unreasonable for someone to sue, you don't ask anything, just because the identity of the other party takes the accusation of false accusation first. This is also in the main hall. If any of the officials below dared to ask such a case, they would be properly labeled as a 'stunned official'. Now that it's the emperor's turn, if he doesn't ask Chu Yuan's sins first, wouldn't he be a 'dizzy monarch'?

Chu Yuan's heart couldn't help but tremble for a while. He originally planned to drag the mother and daughter into the muddy water first, and then no matter what else, they had to be covered in mud first. But now, these two people didn't jump into the pre-designed pit at all, and they forced him to the edge of the cliff, not to mention another way. His heart was beating fast, what should he do next? Do you have any other cards?

His eyes turned to Lin Yutong, and his eyes lit up again. This Princess Yunyin is not only a princess, she is also a member of the Duke's Palace. If this matter had anything to do with the Duke Jin's mansion, she and the Gan family would have to come forward to clean up the mess. It is not good for Princess Yunyin if the Duke of Jin's mansion falls.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately said to Emperor Yongkang: "It's the minister's anger, and it's all the minister's fault. Princess Yunyin is right, you should ask the minister's guilt first."

Saying that, he offered the folded hands to him. Slowly knelt down.

The old fox! Able to bend and stretch, what a person.

Seeing that Laifu had put the book up, Mrs Gan said, "Your Majesty, since this matter is related to your concubine and Yun Yin, please allow your majesty to allow our mother and daughter to stay and watch."

Emperor Yongkang took the book handed over by Fu, and nodded, "Present!" Then he ordered Laifu, "Give a seat!"

Since it is not certain that it is a false accusation now, it has nothing to do with Concubine Chen Gui and Princess Yun Yin. Laifu cleverly moved two chairs and invited the two ancestors to sit.

Emperor Yongkang opened the book again, "The other guilt will be handed over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for a joint trial. Now, I only ask about the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason listed in this book." Looking further down, it seems that the minister standing below is also a little blurry. He closed his eyes, and handed the book to the prince Jin Yunshun, who was standing aside and had no sense of existence, "I... I'm very sad, come and ask."

Lin Yutong looked at Emperor Yongkang's face, the light in the hall was not bright enough, and she couldn't see the complexion on his face clearly, but only his demeanor, no matter how well he concealed it, could tell that he was really uncomfortable.

Gan Shi glanced at Emperor Yongkang, and then sat down with his eyes and nose and heart.

Jin Yunshun took the book in his hand and felt heavy. He really couldn't figure out what the man sitting on the dragon chair was thinking. Ask yourself, how do you ask yourself? This could involve the matter of Concubine Chen. Thinking of the news that he received after the Dengwen drum sounded, it was said that Li Cairen had sent someone to the Duke Jin's house to pick up the children who were to be adopted. His hand tightened, and the emperor was still guarding himself. Since Li Cairen didn't deal with Gan's mother and daughter, it should be right to show some kindness towards them. Seeing that the emperor treats his own daughter well, he can be relieved to some extent.

Thinking like this, he first took the book in his hand and read it twice, and the more he looked at it, the faster his heart beat. The fact that Zhezi is so well prepared can only mean that people are not staring at Chu Yuan for a day or two.

For a while, there was a choice in my heart, looking at Chu Yuan who knelt down in the hall and said: "Speaking of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, this book says that Gan Haichao is because he found out that you colluded with Bei Liao and smuggled to Bei Liao. Grain and grass, and found out that you embezzled taxes and taxes, and smoothed the accounts in the way of tax exemption for the disaster, so you were framed and convicted." After speaking, he looked at Xue Heng, "Is that right?"

How did Xue Heng know about this? Embezzlement tax this one I know is true. Others, he really doesn't know. When I thought that Princess Yunyin was sitting in the hall, I knew it in my heart. The more valuable one's identity is, the more precious one's life is. If people dare to be so grand, it proves that there is a back-up. So Ma Liu nodded: "Exactly! Your Highness."

Jin Yunshun glanced at the person on the dragon chair, and seeing that there was no extra expression on his face, he said again, "Do you have any evidence, physical evidence?"

Xue Heng raised his head and glanced at Lin Yutong vaguely. Seeing Lin Yutong's eyelids drooping down, he immediately said, "Yes! There is evidence."

"Where is the evidence?" Jin Yunshun asked immediately, "It will take time to bring the witness evidence, so you must present the physical evidence first."

What I have on me is the evidence from Yunzhou. It's just ledgers and correspondence. This thing does not match the guilt in the book, so even if this thing is to be taken out, it cannot be taken out at this time. His mind changed and he said loudly: "Witness, the evidence is outside the palace."

Princess Yunyin won't make an unprepared account, she naturally prepares well in advance. He thought so.

And Lin Yutong really didn't know if the witnesses and evidence were in place. The fourth master is dealing with this matter, so it should have already arrived.

Gan Shi glanced at Lin Yutong, this blind trust! I really don't know what to say.

The people in the hall looked at Xue Heng, and then looked at Lin Yutong. If it wasn't for someone with hands and eyes, it would be a ghost. This preparation is really complete. The witnesses were waiting outside.

"Xuan!" Before Jin Yunshun could speak, Emperor Yongkang suddenly opened his eyes and gave Laifu a light command.

At this time, there were more than ten old men standing outside the palace. Not too young, one by one standing outside holding oil umbrellas.

"It's been sixteen years..." Gao Ming stood outside the palace wall, with some emotion in his heart, "I haven't entered the palace for sixteen years." It's hard to describe what it feels like to be away from the center of power.

The other people didn't follow along, but the expressions on their faces already explained everything.

Gao Mingchao glanced behind the crowd and saw that the young man who had been following them had not left, so he smiled and said, "Young man, go and play. This is not a place you can come."

The young man nodded, then stopped talking, just stood there quietly, motionless.

Gao Ming raised his brows and stopped asking. In fact, although this group of people knew each other, some even knew each other, but apart from a few people who contacted them by themselves and told them to come to the capital to wait for the opportunity, how did the others come, and why did they gather together? Came here, he didn't know.

He touched the account book in his arms, and his heart skipped a beat. If he had an account book, he would have used it to negotiate with Chu Yuan long ago, and his children and grandchildren would not have wasted many years with him. That's right, this account book and the so-called evidence are not theirs. But I don't know how it appeared in the study.

Whether it was the things on the account book or this mysterious method, they all reminded them of the royal guard. Everyone knows that such an organization exists, but they have never seen the true face of others. Except for the dark guard, he really can't think of anyone else who has such a skill. But since it was arranged by the dark guard, then this is what the emperor meant. The emperor wanted to use their hands to take Chu Yuan down.

Isn't this the time to wait for others?

When he received the mysterious note, he rushed to the gate of the palace, but he didn't expect so many old guys to come one after another. It's just that there is one more young man, making him feel strange, and that's why the question just now.

The wind was blowing and the rain was blowing, and even with an umbrella, my shoulders were still wet. There are a few old guys who are not in good health, and it seems that they are almost unable to stand up. Gao Ming sighed in his heart, if it wasn't for the sake of his children and grandchildren, who would want to come to this troubled water?

I was impatient and apprehensive when I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. As soon as I turned around, I saw a carriage running towards this side. I thought there was someone in the same way, but I didn't expect to get close, and heard the cry of the baby who was 'wawah'.

In such weather, such a big thing happened in the palace again, which Xungui is so decent, dare to bring a baby into the palace at this time?

In a teahouse not far away, the fourth master held a book in one hand and tea in the other. Guixi whispered from the side: "The carriage just passed by our house. The palace picked up Brother Yuan."

Fourth Master nodded, indicating that he understood. Emperor Yongkang was afraid that Jin Chengan and Chu Yuan would be too entangled, so in order to appease Jin Chengan, he hurriedly took the child into the palace. But this is a bit 'there is no silver 300 taels here'! So eager, isn't this a clear way to tell Jin Chengan that your secret activities have been detected? He slowly put the book down, took a sip of tea, and glanced outside, "How many people came with Gao Ming, have you noticed?"

Guixi nodded, "There are seven in total. There are six others, not brought by Mr. Gao Minggao. In addition, there is a young man."

The few people Gao Ming contacted were the results of Jin Shouli's previous hints. But the rest of the six people didn't mean it by themselves, but Guo Yi had prepared them long ago, and then sent a message to the dark guard, asking people to send these people over. There is only this young man, not to mention that Guixi does not know, even himself does not know the origin of this person for a while. I didn't prepare it myself, nor did Guo Yi find it. Then who else is going to shoot Chu Yuan?

Is it the emperor? Or... Kim Sung-an!

Gao Ming didn't wait long. After the women carrying the baby entered, the **** who announced the decree trotted over and told them to enter.

The palace is still the same palace, and it has not changed in the slightest because they are not in the court. This makes people feel more uncomfortable. They were fascinated and wanted to come back again. But when they were able to come back, they found that only they cared about it. .

Power is so ruthless and ruthless!

The one on top is still the emperor, and the dragon chair is still the dragon chair, but the person sitting on it is no longer the person they kowtowed to in the past.

For a while, he became more and more sincere and fearful, "Long live Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand, "Get up." One by one, getting older like this, he has become an unkind emperor.

Jin Yunshun, who was on the side, didn't know if he wanted to continue asking, so he had to look back at Emperor Yongkang.

But seeing Emperor Yongkang's eyes closed, he went "sad" again.

Jin Yunshun had to ask himself, "In the case of Gan Haichao, you are all insiders. How much do you know? Come here one by one."

Who is the insider?

Although I have read the things on the booklet, I am still afraid of being questioned. After all, everyone only knows what is in their own hands, not what is written on other people's books.

So Gao Ming stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince. The old ministers are all... old, and everyone who speaks... may not... listen to the truth... The old minister's brain... Now it is useless... I said it all at once. , I'm afraid there are omissions. This book..." He said stutteringly, and took out the book from his arms tremblingly, "This book... was prepared by the minister in the early years, but I just copied it again. , I don't think there will be any omissions..." As he spoke, he panted heavily, holding the fold in his trembling hands.

Jin Yunshun just glanced at Gao Ming, he was really mature. When I entered the hall just now, my legs looked so swift. In the blink of an eye, the old hands were out of control. He also stammered when he spoke. Even people are old and confused, and their minds don't remember things. This is just in case if there is an emergency, it is better to escape.

Old, frail, and confused! Can the emperor really cure their sins?

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, more than a dozen old men began to take out the money, and then they all became 'old and frail'.

Jin Yunshun glanced at Laifu, and then Laifu went down to collect the book. When he received the young man in the back, his hand paused slightly, and then he brought the book over.

Where can Jin Yunshun watch it alone? Immediately, the book was handed out to several ministers and asked them to exchange views.

Then Gao Ming and the others took out an account book from the sleeve, "This is the physical evidence."

Laifu accepted it again, and felt even more worried about Princess Yunyin in his heart. How can this account book be so coincidental, just one by one, kept separately. This is simply by design. And doing it like this is that you don't intend to hide from others at all.

From now on, let's see who dares to say that this is a princess of unknown origin. He dares to be so arrogant even if his origin is unknown. If this is on the genealogy, it would be great.

Even Jin Yunshun became somewhat afraid of Lin Yutong. He suddenly felt that this was simply a demonstration by Yun Yin in disguise.

But she is a princess, why did she do this?

He was a little unsure of what she meant, and when he thought that the child who had just been brought into the palace was from Duke Jin's mansion, he raised his heart again. What would she do if she stood behind the child?

Feeling a little disturbed for a while.

Guo Changhe raised the document in Yang's hand, "Your Majesty, the document in the hand of this minister records in detail the time, place, contact person, and the amount of food that Chu Yuan traded with Bei Liao over the past 20 years."

Twenty years? The Emperor's reign was not long, only sixteen years.

Chu Yuan had been trading with Bei Liao for twenty years. But Chu Yuan was the confidant of the late emperor, so how could such a flaw occur?

Emperor Yongkang opened his eyes and stood up suddenly, his hands shaking. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he knew very well what happened with Bei Liao. The death of King Jin at that time was made by the father and the emperor borrowing the hands of Bei Liao. Now, the relationship between Chu Yuan and Bei Liao has been revealed, so if you dig deeper, who will you find? He slapped the imperial case sharply, picked up the ruler on the imperial case, and slammed it on Chu Yuan, "Damn! I lied to the late emperor so far! How can I tolerate you?"

A mocking smile flashed across Ganshi's mouth. This was because he wanted to take out the late emperor first. Thinking like this, he glanced at Lin Yutong again, this uncle really knows how to handle it. You don't need to read the other documents, but this one makes people grab the handle, and the emperor must kill Chu Yuan. This crime can only be carried by Chu Yuan. Don't give him a chance to argue at all. On the other hand, this fold also left a thread. In the future... If you dig down a little, you will be able to find the late emperor. Then the world of the Jin family is not so stable.

Seeing the ruler smashed on Chu Yuan's shoulder, Chu Yuan's body swayed abruptly, "...Chen...Chen..." This minister is really wronged!

Emperor Yongkang sneered, "What? I have nothing to say!"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "Chen... wronged!"

"Injustice?" Emperor Yongkang sneered, "I'm here to ask you!" He got up and walked down the imperial steps, "Have you ever done anything about embezzling taxes?"

Chu Yuan was silent, he had done this before.

Emperor Yongkang pointed to Fang Zhao: "The book says, during your tenure as the prefect of Yunzhou..."

Fang Zhao knelt down with a 'puff': "Your Majesty! This minister is guilty! At that time, this matter was extremely strange, and Prime Minister Chu said that he would investigate it in detail... Your Majesty, it was probably done by someone else, but Prime Minister Chu did not find out."

Emperor Yongkang sneered, ignored him, turned to look at Chu Yuan: "I'm not honest!"

Chu Yuan closed his eyes, he couldn't hide it. He finally nodded: "This is the fault of the minister." At that time, this was not what he meant by himself. Without the approval of the late emperor, he was unable to reduce or exempt Yunzhou's taxes. The only thing I did was to sandwich a portion of the food for Jin Chengan's horse farm in the middle, and that was it! But now, he dare not say this!

Emperor Yongkang's eyes flashed, this old guy only said he had, but he didn't admit his guilt. This is what he wanted to tell me, there are hands and feet of the late emperor.

"You lied about the disaster in Yunzhou and lied to the emperor." Emperor Yongkang said angrily, "Fang Zhao, come and tell me, was there any disaster that year? In addition to reducing your taxes, have you received disaster relief money from the court?"

Fang Zhao knelt on the ground, shaking his head like a rattle. In fact, I don't know what happened to the emperor in my heart. In the beginning, he was passive and did not ask questions. When the evidence comes, without checking the authenticity of the evidence at all, he will be furious. Could it be that Chu Yuan was really angry because Chu Yuan lied to the late emperor. It seems reasonable to think so. He hurriedly said: "There is no disaster, and there is no money for disaster relief." He really didn't know about the money and grain for disaster relief. No wind was heard.

Emperor Yongkang nodded, turned his face and shouted: "Guo Changhe, you are known as a kaleidoscope of the court, and your mind is all-encompassing. Come and tell me, that year, did the Ministry of Household allocate money to Yunzhou? "

"Yes! One hundred thousand taels of silver and thirty thousand shi of grain." Guo Changhe really came with his mouth open.

Emperor Yongkang possessed himself and looked at Chu Yuan: "Then tell me, where did all the money go?"

The corner of Chu Yuan's mouth moved, and then he respectfully kowtowed, "It's all the fault of the old minister!"

When this was said again, everyone understood something. Chu Yuan still pleaded not guilty! Fault and guilt are two different things.

Emperor Yongkang understood what Chu Yuan meant. It was his fault that he, as a courtier, did not do his duty to persuade the former emperor. Don't plead guilty, this is trying to make conditions with me!

Could it be that this case has to be dragged back, but once it is taken off, the variables will be huge!

Just in time, a young man stood up in the hall: "Your Majesty, Caomin still has evidence here to prove that Chu Yuan is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the young man. Who this person is, no one really pays attention.

Emperor Yongkang squinted his eyes, and felt that his vision was a little blurry again, and he couldn't see clearly. So he forced his hand and waved, "Come and talk."

The young man came forward and knelt straight in front of Emperor Yongkang: "Miao Zhuang, the grass people, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Get up and answer." Emperor Yongkang glanced at the young man, "Do you have evidence? What evidence do you have?"

"Caomin Miao Zhuang, my aunt is Jin Cheng'an's concubine..." Miao Zhuang said suddenly after getting up.

Lin Yutong stood up with a 'snap'. Jin Chengan's concubine was also surnamed Miao. Could it be Concubine Miao's maiden family?
