The door of the Taihe Hall was pushed open again, and Li Yanhan stood there in a navy blue official uniform, with a cold brow, while Tang Yao stood behind him, holding the fold and a stack of account records in both hands.
Hearing that the emperor had entered the hall, Tang Yao followed Li Yanhan's steady pace to the center of the hall. As soon as the two of them stood still, Li Yanhan gave a big salute to the emperor and said, "Father, the sons and daughters have a fold and accounts, and I also ask my father to look at them!" ”
Li Nannan raised his eyes and said, "Oh? What is presented? ”
Li Yan glanced at Liang Jinzhong with cold eyes, and said indifferently, "What I am presenting is a human trafficking case that everyone in Qiyun China has known recently!" ”
Liang Jinzhong chuckled in his heart, he raised his old eyes and narrowed slightly! But looking at that look, Tang Yao sighed a little, this old dog is an old dog, so that he can do everything without being surprised, how thick is this cheek!
"Lord Tang, you present it to me." Li Nannan spoke.
Li Yanhan glanced at Tang Yao, Tang Yao immediately stepped forward quickly, walked to the bottom of the dragon seat, and personally presented the folds and accounts to Li Nannan.
Li Nannan took the fold and the accounts and looked at them carefully. The more quietly the emperor checked, some officials other than Liang Jinzhong immediately sweated on their foreheads, which was obviously a sign of being a thief.
The more time the emperor flipped through the accounts, the more dark the dragon's face became. Li Nannan gently put the fold and the account on the bookcase, and his expression remained unchanged and he swiped his gaze downward, "The names of the people presented on this fold surprised me very much, Qi Yunguo's hundred years of prosperity have produced so many scum!" ”
“....”
In the crowd below, the faces of some of the ministers changed. Tang Yao's afterglow swept away, and there were a few of them who were already trembling with their legs, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. Looking at Liang Jinzhong again, the old dog was still standing there so calmly, with a look similar to his facial features, as if he was not involved in this matter at all.
She really admires this person's determination, and I have to say that with this thick-skinned ability, she is still low.
The crown prince Li Siyang, who had not spoken, glanced in the direction of Liang Jinzhong, and his face was pale and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, Li Yanhan and Tang Ziyao are not fuel-efficient lamps, but I am afraid that the two of them have already grasped the weakness of Taishi Liang, so he pondered for a while and then spoke, "Erchen thinks that if he takes the initiative to confess his guilt, according to his father's deep righteousness, he will definitely be punished lightly." ”
The emperor glanced at the crown prince and did not answer. However, the ministers immediately agreed, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true. ”
"The minister thinks so, too."
"The minister agrees."
Tang Yao, who was standing beside Li Yanhan, looked down at her feet, listening to this string of voices, she felt a little funny.
From the light hair drops.. Hehe... These people are all fools. Human trafficking has been a sting force since ancient times, not to mention slavery in Manchuria, even in modern times, it is punishable by death.
She didn't think that even if the crown prince spoke, his emperor Lao Tzu would really be lightly dismissed.
There are some things that have a limit to being an emperor, and he is not a fool, if he changes to other things, maybe he can turn a blind eye. But such a thing has aroused public resentment, and in order to appease the people, it is impossible to take it lightly for this alone!
Between the words, a few voices 'plopped', and some incompetent ministers already knelt on the ground, trembling. It seems that these people are also a little self-aware, and if they have a list of twists and turns, no matter how dying they are, it is useless.
One, two, three.. After a while, more than a dozen people knelt down in the entire lobby. But Liang Jinzhong still straightened his back and stood there. To be honest, Tang Yao still admires this old man's perseverance, these things are a foregone conclusion, what is he still struggling with!
confessed his guilt as soon as possible, maybe the emperor could still spare him once for the sake of his mentor.
The old emperor looked at the dozen or so people who knelt down, and his eyes were uncertain. Until he saw that Liang Jinzhong was still silent, the emperor was completely hardworking. He picked up the fold and smashed it straight at Liang Jinzhong's body! "Taishi!! I see what else you have to say! ”
The fold fell to the ground, and just turned to the page with Liang Jinzhong's name written on it, Liang Jinzhong's hand under the sleeve robe shook suddenly, it was obvious that this old guy was finally not calm! His old face panicked, and he immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Your Majesty! This... This.. Someone must have framed the old man! Please also ask the emperor to take a look! ”
Li Nannan smiled coldly, "Taishi is saying that Han'er and Lord Tang have wronged you!" ”
"But that's right!" Even if Liang Jinzhong knelt down, he still refused to admit it!
Tang Yao has a new understanding of this old guy's face. She stepped forward slowly, first saluted gently, and then said, "Xia Guan doesn't know what kind of confidence the Taishi Master has, so he is firm, it is Xia Guan and the Fourth Prince who have wronged the adult!" ”
Liang Jinzhong glared at Tang Yao fiercely and said, "You rampant boy! You are at odds with the old man, but you have framed the old man again and again, it must be you..."
Tang Yaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him with a faint face and said loudly, "Master Taishi really overestimates the lower officials, the accounts are too much, but they are found in the mansion of the Grand Master, even if the lower officials have a hundred guts, how can they frame the Taishi!" ”
"You!" Liang Jinzhong was so blocked that he couldn't speak, pointing at Tang Yao for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
Li Nannan looked at Tang Yao and said, "Lord Tang, you say!" ”
"The official commands!" With the emperor's consent, Tang Yao was no longer subtle, "Xia Guan happened to come across a human trafficking case, and he has been investigating the matter. The night before yesterday, the lower and lower officials received a report from the guards, saying that someone was secretly acting on the dock in the capital, and the lower official and the fourth prince agreed that the lower official would sneak into the dock, and the fourth prince would respond. ”
At this point, Tang Yao paused and continued, "There are indeed twenty-three young women tied up on the big boat by the dock. ”
"Twenty-three!" Lee South Africa was shocked!
"Your Majesty, after Weichen ordered it later, there were indeed twenty-three women." Tang Yao looked at Liang Jinzhong and continued to say aloud, "I heard that one person is worth a thousand taels, so these twenty-three women, Master Taishi can gain a lot!" ”
Although Liang Jinzhong was flustered, he still quibbled, "You are talking nonsense! You kid must have framed the old man! ”
"Master Taishi has a high opinion of the lower officials, if there is no full evidence, how can the lower officials present a fold to the emperor!" Tang Yao snorted coldly, and his dark phoenix eyes sank suddenly, "Someone!" Bring the ID card with you! ”
A group of female dependents were led to the Taihe Hall by the eunuchs, among whom Mrs. Song took the lead! When Mrs. Song and the others saw Tianyan for the first time, they would inevitably feel panicked, but because of Long Yan's anger, they knelt down to ask for peace.
Tang Yao walked up slowly, glanced at them gently, and said, "If you have any grievances, just tell the emperor, the emperor is the king of a country, and he will definitely make the decision for you!" ”
Li Nannan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he said calmly, "Tell me about it!" ”
The one-year-old woman trembled and replied, "The folk girl Ah Hong, thirteen years old this year, is an orphan, I heard earlier that the Liang Taishi Mansion needed to recruit maids, and the folk girl went, who knew that it was knocked out by someone within two days of going to the Taishi Mansion, and when she woke up again, she was already on the boat." When I heard that the boatmen were going to sell us for money, the women thought. Thought... Whining. ”
In the middle of speaking, the woman began to cry.
Liang Jinzhong's face changed greatly, and he scolded angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
"The Folk Girl. The folk girl is not talking nonsense! ”
"You!!"
