After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Little Wen is very busy.

The dowry must be paid as soon as possible. She is not doing it for others, but for her own life.

She didn't think it was too much when she moved out, but now when it was time to return it, she found that it was so overwhelming that she couldn't breathe.

Looking at the list, she first moved back all Chen Man's dowry from her warehouse.

Mrs. Han had a sullen face, and for the sake of her son's life, she had no choice but to bear the pain and give back everything she had in her treasury.

Little Wen went back to the Yongping Marquis Mansion again to look for her aunt and concubine, but unfortunately she didn't get anything and was ridiculed a lot.

Little Wen's heart felt cold again.

In the face of monetary interests, any blood relationship or blood is thicker than water are all fake.

She stopped being polite to them and said in a cold voice, "Now that you know that the prince came to count the dowry, I am not afraid of being embarrassed. The prince said that if the dowry cannot be made up, I can't fill it in alone."

That's enough. Now that my aunt and fourth brother have divided the stolen goods, don't even think about escaping the relationship."

With such a scare, they took out some, but it was much less than what Little Wen sent back.

Aunt Huang was already over fifty years old, with a look of misery on her face, "That's all. Your father took a fancy to the others and gave me some money, so he took them all away."

"Father?" Xiao Wen's expression changed, "Did he keep it for himself or give it away?"

"I do not know then……"

Little Wen's eyes turned scorched.

Her father is her last resort. As long as her father comes back to support her, she still has hope.

But if the father took out the things and gave them away, it would be a big trouble...

--

Han Rui and Magistrate Liu were taken to the Dali Temple prison and tortured that day. The news soon reached the ears of Emperor Qingming.

After all, Han Rui is the younger brother of Duke Dingguo, and Magistrate Liu is the magistrate of the capital government office. His status is one level higher than that of the local magistrate, and he has to go to court every day.

In the morning of the second day, Emperor Qingming asked Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was wearing a turmeric subduing dragon brocade robe and, together with Zhao Yin, was at the front of the court.

He started from Qingchun Tower, then to the fire in the rose garden, to the dowry list, and finally to Chen Man's remaining dowry.

Zhao Chen copied a copy of the dowry list in Han Youning's hand and read it out in front of everyone.

The courtiers were stunned. They had heard about the Chen family's wealth, but they were so rich!

They know that human nature is greedy, but some people are so greedy!

With so many good things, the second bedroom was occupied, and someone almost died trying to cover it up? How brave!

Aren't they afraid that if Ding Guogong finds out, there will be no way to end it?

Luo Shangshu was the first to speak, "I would like to report to your Majesty that I have something to report..."

Emperor Qingming held the dowry list presented by Zhao Chen in his hand, with a hint of anger on his face.

He said, "Luo Aiqing, please speak."

Luo Shangshu knelt down tremblingly on the ground. He held the dental plaque in his hands and said, "I want to impeach you."

Emperor Qingming frowned, "Who did Luo Aiqing impeach, and why do you still want to kneel down to impeach?"

He glanced around the court and paused at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen was wearing a turmeric brocade robe with subdued dragon and cloud patterns, with an upright posture and a calm expression. He could see that his father was suspicious of him.

Whenever they, the princes and uncles, behaved differently than usual, their father would see it and become suspicious in his heart.

There are no fathers or sons in the royal family. This has always been the case.

But this Luo Shangshu's recent behavior is really unusual and does not seem to be his usual style.

Luo Shangshu cupped his hands and said, "The one I am impeaching is Luo Cunrui, the Minister of War."

Hundreds of officials in court looked at each other and impeached themselves?

Could it be that Luo Shangshu is old and confused?

Luo Shangshu continued, "I am impeaching Luo Cunrui for accepting bribes, taking bribes and perverting the law!"

Emperor Qingming looked calm, "Luo Aiqing just impeached Marquis Yongping for accepting bribes a few days ago, why is he impeaching himself now?"

"When Han Rui was serving as a doctor in the Ministry of War, he once sent a painting of Master Xuanzhi's "Sunset Picture" to his subordinates. The subordinates did not dare to accept it. He said it was just a fake. But just now he heard His Highness the Prince read out the dowry list and realized that this

It is clear that the dowry for the Duke’s wife has been decided first. The original work of Master Xuanzhi is extremely valuable, and the sin of the lower official is grave!"

Emperor Qingming said in a gentle tone, "Those who don't know are not guilty. You can live in peace. But I'm afraid the painting will be returned to its original owner."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I personally returned the "Sunset Picture" to Duke Dingguo's residence."

However, Luo Shangshu did not return to the ranks after he stood up. He continued, "I heard from Han Rui that Yongpinghou also took the calligraphy and painting of Master Xuanzhi to find Mr. Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Mr. Zhong also accepted it. Later, Mr. Zhong

Then he came to Wei Chen to discuss the promotion of Han Rui to the left minister of the Ministry of War. But he didn’t know whether those calligraphy and paintings were fakes or genuine..."

A fat man in purple official uniform came out and glared angrily, "Master Luo, don't spit blood!"

Luo Shangshu held up his long sleeves and said calmly, "Master Zhong, it's better to think about it before talking. The emperor also said that those who don't know are not guilty, but if you know and still refuse to admit it, then it will be different."

Zhong Shangshu hesitated.

However, Marquis Yongping is not someone who dares to offend easily. He is the second-in-command in the cabinet, and no one in the court can easily shake him.

Now it is clear that someone wants to touch Marquis Yongping, but if he is not brought down, the score will be settled later...

Luo Shangshu continued, "Han Rui is in jail in Dali Temple now. This is a serious crime involving murder and arson. It is impossible to say who else he might have confessed to reduce his crime."

Emperor Qingming held the dragon case with both hands, his face solemn and majestic, "Luo Aiqing's words make sense."

Seeing what the emperor said, Zhong Shangshu ignored Marquis Yongping and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "To report to the emperor, Marquis Yongping gave me three calligraphy and paintings, saying they were imitations. I believed them to be true and thought they were from the same dynasty."

As an official, it's hard to refuse him to save face..."

He observed the emperor's face, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yongpinghou also gave me two jade ornaments. He said they were ordinary things found at roadside stalls and did not cost a few taels of silver. But from what I heard, it seemed to be a dowry list.

Something on top.”

As soon as Zhong Shangshu finished speaking, seven or eight more officials came out one after another and knelt down to apologize.

Without exception, they all received gifts from Marquis Yongning, which sounded like they were on the dowry list.

They understood that if they spoke up at this time, they could still get a voluntary explanation. If Dali Temple followed suit and invited him to be interrogated, their career would be basically over. They couldn't tell, and their lives would be over.

Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple was stunned. You fools, you were deceived by that old fox, Luo Shangshu! Marquis Yongning gave it to you, how could Han Rui know?

Not many of the dowries passed through Han Rui's hands, and the rest were all returned to her parents' home by Mrs. Han and Little Wen!

Emperor Qingming looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and was furious.

"Yongpinghou, very good, very good!"

This is only related to the dowry list. A prefect of the Kyoto Yamen and ten important officials in the court are also involved in the dowry list.

Marquis Yongping may have taken control of the entire court!

"Where is Marquis Yongping? When will he enter the capital?"

Zhao Chen said, "Father, you should have disembarked at the Futai Town Pier by this time and will be entering Beijing in the afternoon."

"After entering the capital, let him enter the palace!"
