In the early morning of this day, a middle-aged man was tied up like a dead pig and thrown at the door of Jingzhao Yin's mansion. The man had a cloth in his mouth, and a whining sound came out of his mouth.

Jing Zhaoyin's arrest saw that so many people had gathered at the gate of the mansion, and he immediately came out to check, only to find out that this man was actually Qu Ming, the former Jiangnan political secretary they had been chasing for several months.

"Someone, bring him in, you go and inform your lordship." The head catcher commanded the fast catcher beside him. But he himself didn't go in, but stood at the gate of the yamen and looked around, but there were only people at the gate of the yamen, but he didn't know who caught this Qu Ming and sent it.

Jing Zhao Yin's current official is Ruan Wucheng, who stood out in this official supervision and assessment, Ruan Wucheng is as his name suggests, he has an upright temperament, and he has no city government, and he has offended many people in the court, but this Jing Zhao Yin still needs an upright person to do it, otherwise the safety of the entire imperial city will not be guaranteed.

Lord Ruan saw that someone tied up Qu Ming and sent it, his heart was overjoyed, yesterday when he went to the court, the emperor also asked him if he had caught Qu Ming, but he didn't expect that someone had already sent Qu Ming when he was about to go to the court today.

Immediately, he hurriedly loaded Qu Ming into the prisoner car and walked towards the palace with a group of officials. came to the gate of the palace and handed over Qu Ming to Nangong Yue, who was on duty in the palace.

After Qu Ming was imprisoned in the prison, he didn't shout or make trouble, he was very quiet, which made the jailers in the prison feel very strange, this prison has been locked up a lot of people, there are royal relatives and nobles, and there are court officials, but there is no one who is imprisoned here, there is no one who does not shout wronged, isn't it that Qu Ming knows that he deserves it, so he doesn't shout injustice?

Above the court, Ruan Wucheng reported that Qu Ming had been transferred to the inner prison to Nangong Yihan, hearing this, Hu Minzhi was slightly stunned, he had seen Qu Ming in the secret room last night, why did someone say that he had caught him today?

In order to catch up with the court today, he didn't go to the secret room to check, originally thinking that he had only seen Qu Ming last night, and he was afraid of being caught, so naturally he wouldn't leave easily, besides, if he ran out by himself, wouldn't the guards on the house who were patrolling the night and the little guy in the gatehouse find out?

Just thinking about it, I heard Nangong Yihan order Qu Ming to be brought to the court, originally this court was just a place for deliberations, and it was rare for this court to interrogate, if this Qu Ming said something that should not be said in the court, then he wouldn't do it

At this time, Qu Ming was brought up, Nangong Yue pulled out the cloth in his mouth, Qu Ming still didn't speak, this time Hu Minzhi was very happy, as long as Qu Ming didn't speak, then his official position could be kept.

When Hu Minzhi was happy, Qu Ming stood in the court like crazy and undressed, all the courtiers were stunned by this action, is this Qu Ming crazy? How dare you do such a thing in front of the ministers and the emperor?

Then I understood why Qu Ming did this, Qu Ming's underwear was full of evidence of his crimes, and there was also a charge of his palm print, and then look at his back, which was also tattooed with the words I am a corrupt official.

Looking at Qu Ming's appearance, everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what kind of person did this, there is such a means to deal with a court official, even if he really did something heinous, then he can't be dealt with privately, hand him over to the court, and deal with it according to the laws of the court.

"Your Majesty, the criminal knows that he is wrong, the criminal minister deserves to die, the emperor wants to deal with the criminal minister like this, and the criminal minister bows his head and confesses, just begging the emperor to say to that person, don't do this to me like this anymore, so I am like this, it is better to give a happy one and kill the criminal minister." Qu Ming cried.

Hearing Qu Ming's words, Nangong Yihan was confused, how did he say this? That person? Who is that person, besides, looking at Qu Ming's strange behavior, as well as the words tattooed on his body, the person who would do this in the world is Ye Wushuang, but this is not like his temperament.

If this matter was Ye Wushuang's doing, he would definitely not engrave words on the other party's body, but would directly throw him into prison. As for carving on people's backs, Ye Wushuang shouldn't have this habit.

"Who is that person you are talking about?" Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.

"The criminal minister doesn't know either, that person just said that he is doing things for the emperor, please the emperor, kill the criminal minister, don't be like this, it's not easy for the criminal minister to live every night." Qu Ming cried.

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan thought that Qu Ming was bullied by the jailers in the prison, although Qu Ming was guilty, but Nangong Yihan didn't want the world he governed to use the death penalty, especially the inner prison.

"Qu Ming, I don't ask who did this to you, but I ask you, are the confessions on your clothes true?"

"It's all true, all the guilty ministers have admitted it, isn't this the painting of the guilty ministers? Also, the criminal wants to expose Hu Minzhi, he is the brother of the criminal minister's wife, and all these things that the criminal minister did were instructed by him, and half of the money from the sale of official food was also given to him. Qu Ming said hurriedly.

Hearing Qu Ming mention himself, Hu Minzhi also panicked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged, Weichen is wronged, this Qu Ming is Weichen's brother-in-law, but it is a crime to kill the head by reselling the grain and grass in the official warehouse, how could Weichen do such a thing, besides, he said that he gave the money from the resale of grain and grass to Weichen, which is purely a false accusation, and there is no evidence at all." Hu Minzhi said angrily.

If there were no account books and the evidence that Chu Lifeng found, just looking at Hu Minzhi's appearance, he would be a loyal minister and a good general. Hu Minzhi dared to say this in the court, naturally thinking that although Qu Ming lost the account book, it did not fall into the hands of the emperor, and as for the slut who took the account book, he had already found out that she lived in Chu Mansion.

sent someone to secretly check and learned that she was thinking of entering the hall and becoming Chu Lifeng's concubine, the account book must still be in her hands, if it had been given to Chu Lifeng, then how could Chu Lifeng continue to keep her. Thinking of this, Hu Minzhi was even more confident that he could choose himself.

Looking at Hu Minzhi's fearless appearance, Nangong Yihan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, he had not shown anything these days, not because there was no evidence, but just to paralyze Hu Minzhi.

Immediately afterwards, Nangong Yihan took the account book from Zhang Qing's hand, threw it hard, and smashed it on Hu Minzhi's head. Hu Minzhi looked at the ledger that fell to the ground, and his heart was half cold, how could this ledger be in the hands of the emperor?

Obviously, he sent someone to investigate, that Yan Ruyu still lives in Chu Mansion, if he wasn't worried about causing unnecessary trouble, he would have sent someone to kill that Yan Ruyu.

Hu Minzhi thought so, but he also knew that if the witness who lived in Uncle Guo's Mansion died, then things would only be more difficult, and he would not choose himself so easily.

"Your Majesty, this account book is fake, all of them are forged by Qu Ming, and Wei Chen also suspects the origin of this account book, if Qu Ming has the intention to frame Wei Chen, Wei Chen is not going to die unjustly?" Hu Minzhi knelt on the ground and cried.

Hearing Hu Minzhi say this, some courtiers couldn't help but bow slightly, I have to say that what Hu Minzhi said still has some truth, although this is Qu Ming's account book, it is difficult to guarantee that he is a forgery, and it is not impossible to threaten the courtiers with this.

Immediately afterwards, a courtier who usually had a good relationship with Hu Minzhi stood up and spoke for him, "Emperor Qi, since someone found this account book from Qu Ming's bedroom, you can ask a witness to come and explain." It's good to dispel everyone's doubts. Yin Chunian said respectfully.

"Zhang Qing, immediately take someone to the Chu Mansion and bring the witnesses into the palace." Nangong Yihan said in a deep voice.

As the emperor, he is not worried about the division of the courtiers into parties, sometimes there are factions in this way or it is conducive to the stability of the court, this is the emperor's checks and balances, if all are some pure ministers, it is not bad, but they are all pure ministers, the checks and balances of this official are a little difficult to do.

Zhang Qing took a few little eunuchs, under the escort of a team of Praetorian Guards, came to the door of the Chu Mansion, and when the Wu family saw this, he said in his heart that after today, it was impossible for Yan Ruyu to enter the gate of the Chu Mansion again.

She went to the palace to testify today, I am afraid that when she sees the wealth and glory in the palace, she will want to stay in the palace, and when the time comes, there will be no need for her to think about dealing with this woman, and it depends on the queen's means.

Yan Ruyu heard that the emperor had sent someone to take her into the palace to testify, so she hurriedly changed into a decent dress and put on a delicate makeup.

"Father-in-law, the slave family is Yan Ruyu, and the father-in-law is tired of coming to pick up the slave family in person." Yan Ruyu saluted respectfully towards Zhang Qing.

"The girl doesn't have to be polite, just tell the truth when you see the emperor later." Zhang Qing said softly.

"Yes, thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, and I invited my father-in-law to drink tea for this little care." After finishing speaking, Yan Ruyu stuffed a piece of silver into Zhang Qing's hand.

But this Yan Ruyu inevitably underestimated Zhang Qing too much, as the chief eunuch beside the emperor, he had never seen any good things, where could such an ingot of silver get into his eyes.

Zhang Qing glanced at the silver handed over by Yan Ruyu, pushed it back with a smile and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, our family came to invite the girl to the palace to testify by the emperor's dictation, please, don't let the emperor wait for a long time." Zhang Qing said lightly.

Seeing this, Yan Ruyu didn't say anything more, got into the carriage, and walked in the direction of the palace

Entering the palace, Yan Ruyu looked at everything so novel, pavilions, stubborn rockeries, and strange flowers and plants. No wonder so many people want to enter the palace, this day the wealth of the family is really not something that outsiders can enjoy.

The carriage stopped in the inner palace, Zhang Qing took Yan Ruyu and walked towards the court, and with Zhang Qing singing, Yan Ruyu walked into the main hall
