The capital of Huayan Kingdom is in Beijing, in the imperial city.

The young emperor Yan Feng waved his hand gloomily and swept a pile of folds on the desk to the ground. The princes and ministers who knelt on the ground and trembled in the court. In the face of the thunderous and furious Son of Heaven, no one dared to speak out.

Prime Minister Ning Zezhi knelt on the ground, and a pair of long wings on his official hat trembled in fear. He whispered: "The emperor is angry, please take care of the dragon's body." I implore the emperor to hand over the corruption case of Zhuang Cheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, to the old minister!"

Yan Feng shook his wide sleeved robe and shouted: "It's not a day or two that he has been honest and corrupt and perverted the law, and no one in the capital knows except me? If it weren't for the death of someone this time, I wouldn't dare to think how long a resident insect like him would have lurked by my side?" he put his hand on his forehead: "Doesn't the prime minister know about his corruption and perversion of the law? You lead the court, but you don't serve the court well, you are too disappointed to me!" This time, I will personally supervise the trial of this case, and tomorrow you will go with me to seal up the Zhuang Mansion, and I will take this opportunity to rectify the court!"

Yan Feng left his silent courtiers and walked away. He angrily swung back to the harem.

The imperial concubine was like a weak willow supporting the wind, and came out to take over the car with broken steps. She was dressed in a pink silk dress with large sleeves, and the translucent robe was embroidered with peony flowers in a staggered manner. The brown broad-brimmed leader is embroidered with gold thread with delicate moire. The neckline is slightly outward and half on the shoulder, the fragrant shoulder is half exposed, and the red close-fitting chest wrap inside is looming. A flower-embroidered, pearl-covered horn band tied her slender waist, and the jade rings tied around the horn band clanged. The rose-red sprinkled skirt under the hornband dragged on the floor, swaying from side to side on the smooth marble floor with her footsteps. While walking, a pair of delicate and small pink crested embroidered shoes occasionally reveal the hem of the skirt. Her hair was tied high in a bun with red gemstones. A peony flower obliquely hangs in her right ear, which complements the peony on her embroidered robe. There is a peach hairpin on the left sideburn, and the long golden spike on the hairpin is pendant with tourmaline. An inverted crescent-shaped gold grate holds the hair back to the back, and a row of bright red coral beads sways slightly under the grate. She wore shoulder-length gemstone earrings from her ears, which set off her small face and pointed chin. Looking at it from afar, it's all amazingly beautiful!

Qi Yunhuan is the most favored concubine of the emperor in the imperial city of Shangjing. In addition to her beautiful face, she also has a prominent family background. Her father, Qi Yunnan, was knighted when Emperor Taishang was in power because of his repeated military exploits, and now he is the king of Yanjun, and he is one of the few princes outside the clan in Huayan. Qi Yunhuan's younger brother Qi Yunyuexuan, at a young age, became an auxiliary general with his literary and martial arts strategy. Their family has defended the territory for the royal family for generations, and they have also enjoyed the royal grace and the power of the government and the opposition.

Yan Feng quickly picked up Qi Yunhuan, who was about to kneel and salute, gently stroked her white peach blossom face, and carried her into the Minghui Palace.

Minghui Palace is Qi Yunhuan's dormitory, and it is also the place where Yan Feng goes the most. Because the imperial concubine was favored and built extremely luxuriously, the palace halls are scattered and the corridors are winding and long. In the gurgling stream under the pavilion, the brocade scales are like weaving, and the birds are shuttling. The rockery in the distance is full of strange flowers, and the flower beds near are full of flowers. Immersed in it, there is the sound of silk and bamboo in the ears, and there is a dark fragrance in the nose. The whole palace is like heaven and earth.

However, Qi Yunhuan, who is the imperial concubine, also has troubles, it has been three years since the queen died, and Yan Feng has not crowned her as the queen, which makes Qi Yunhuan a little unbreathable, but she doesn't dare to ask for the seal easily!

With the cooperation of the palace maid, Qi Yunwan carefully took off the crown of heaven on Yan Feng's head, removed the crimson dragon pattern gauze robe on his body, and changed him into a comfortable satin palace robe. She had a pair of watery peach blossom eyes and looked at the emperor in front of her shyly. Yan Feng stood with his hands in his hands, with a majestic figure, with an angular handsome face, and under his brows that were tight in contemplation, a pair of bottomless black pupils glowed with a faint light. The thoughtful expression made his handsome face even colder, and the momentum of the natural king oppressed the people around him!

Seeing that Yan Feng was distracted, Qi Yunwan coquettishly bumped him on the shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty...... Don't think about other women in my place!" Yan Feng came to his senses and took Yun Wan into his arms: "Except for Huan'er, I don't think about anyone else! The two leaned on each other and whispered endlessly.

The next day, the seized Ministry of Justice's mansion. Yan Feng personally supervised the officials who were busy coming in and out, sorting out the confiscated materials into boxes and affixing seals. The number of chests is as large as half of the treasury. Yan Feng's palm slapped heavily on the table: "A small servant of the Criminal Department is actually rich enough to rival the country, I don't know how many such courtiers are there in the court? All the men in the house were assigned to the frontier to serve as military prostitutes, and all the female dependents were used as military prostitutes. All the subordinates in the house, those who are implicated in the case, will be questioned. Those who have nothing to do with the case are sold as official slaves, and the silver taels obtained are confiscated into the state treasury together with the confiscated goods. “

From time to time, the guards who executed Zhuang Cheng came back to restore their lives. The guards who participated in the seizure also escorted a group of vetted maids past Yan Feng. When everyone saw the emperor, they all knelt down and saluted.

To say that this group of maidservants, the fate is much better than that of the banker's daughters. was originally a slave, and if he was sold, he just changed his family to be a slave. Unlike Zhuang Cheng's wives and concubines, all of whom had to be sent to the army as prostitutes, which was quite a cruel punishment for the women of the official eunuchs.

Yan Feng indifferently glanced at the maids who were kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand to order the guards to take them to the slave market to sell. At this time, a little girl in a green jacket and white skirt suddenly screamed: "The slave has something to report." The female dependents of the dealer pretended to be maids, and wanted to escape punishment! I begged the emperor to see that the slaves and maids were meritorious in reporting them, and they would be lightly punished. She turned back and pointed to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in pink kneeling in the back row: "She is the daughter-in-law of the corrupt official Zhuang Cheng." ”

Yan Feng walked over angrily, personally dragged the girl in the back row to the front, pinched her slender chin with a big hand, forced her eyes, and squeezed out a sentence coldly between her lips and teeth: "Is what the girl said true?" A trace of panic flashed in the girl's eyes, and soon the bottom of her eyes regained calm: "The slave is not." Slaves and maids have been sold to dealers since childhood, and they have always been slaves and maids, only responsible for doing some rough work in the kitchen. ”

Yan Feng's suspicious gaze swept over the girl's dirty little face, her delicate, palm-sized face, although stained with black pot smoke, faintly revealed a kind of aura, which made Yan Feng suddenly have an urge to wipe her face clean and see clearly. In just an instant, Yan Feng returned to normal, and the cold voice sounded again: "Pull it down and send it to the army as a prostitute with other female dependents." ”

The girl was unconvinced, and struggled to argue: "It is said that Hua Yan's Son of Heaven is Mingjun, why don't you ask about it and convict someone?" Yan Feng's face was expressionless, and his voice was cold to the bone: "I am the Son of Heaven and have the right to decide anyone's fate." And, there is no need for a reason!" The girl stood up calmly and scolded: "Faint King". She stopped arguing and was pushed out by the guards.

Yan Feng angrily slapped his broad palm on the stone table: "Bold, drag me down and cut it down." Another girl in a pink and blue jacket crawled to Yan Feng's feet on her knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Wait." The emperor was furious. The slave maid can prove that she is not the daughter-in-law of the dealer, and the slave maid does some chores in the kitchen with her, all of which are rough maids. ”

The young emperor was almost mad, he had just been scolded by a slave of a criminal courtier's family, and someone here proved his innocence for the person who scolded him. What's wrong with this world? Is the majesty of his emperor going to sweep away the floor in front of everyone? Yan Feng roared in a deep voice: "If you dare to give false testimony, you will be cut down as well." ”

The little girl who reported at first, because she was afraid of being excited, pointed to the maid in the pink and blue jacket: "Cai Sang, you were sold by her, right? And she is not satisfied with being a daughter-in-law for a fool, secretly seducing her future husband Zhuang Cheng, and I have also bumped into her!" The maid called Caisang said sharply: "I only know that you have always been jealous of Zhining, Caiqin you...... You're a bloody spewer!"

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in Yan Feng's eyes, he wanted to see how this little woman who dared to scold him for being faint and ate the heart of a bear and a leopard proved her innocence?

Yan Feng stared at Murong Zhining, who was kneeling on the ground again: "Cheap maid, you still say that you are not the daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family? The names of the maids are all flowers and flowers, but your name is so chic? Not only did you deceive the king, but you also had no shame in cheating on your husband, which was simply immoral. You filthy woman, I don't want to stay for a while. Come on, drag it down and cut it down, don't dirty my eyes!"
