It's a pity that the emperor didn't say anything in the end.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Beishui, what kind of woman do you think Shaoyang is?"

Beishui held the book and frowned.

"The minister is afraid, the county lord's daughter, the minister does not dare to speak falsely."

The emperor frowned.

"When will Scarlet learn to say these useless words?"

Beishui knelt down on one knee.

"The minister is guilty."

"Okay, don't be guilty, I ask you what you think of Shaoyang?"

Beishui pondered for a moment.

The county lord of Shaoyang is very strange, before the second half of last year, she could only occupy a name in the crimson intelligence network, and when she was mentioned, most of them were just young ladies who did not leave one of the prime minister's houses.

But since the second half of the year, the county lord of Shaoyang seems to have changed as a person, especially since this year, it seems that she has participated in many things.

He said slowly.

"If you just look at this recital, if the county lord is not a woman, he should be a general."

After hearing this, the emperor did not react, and in the same way, he also said to Shangguan Li in person, and most of them were mainly appeased and praised at that time.

To this day, after reading this recital, the emperor can't help but feel that maybe a casual compliment at that time is actually a fact that fits perfectly.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak for a long time, Beishui asked respectfully.

"What does Your Majesty want to do?"

"Recall all the people who are staring at Shaoyang."

In the middle of the night, the emperor said leisurely.

"Let Qian Du secretly investigate who Shaoyang has contacted in recent months, and return to me directly."

This means that there are other people behind the Shaoyang County Lord who are manipulating?

Beishui understood in his heart and hurriedly responded.

"Also...... Let Gao and summon Gao Yong into the palace. ”

Beishui's mind moved slightly,

"Yes."

In the afternoon, Gao Yong entered the palace, and when he came out, he received the holy decree, and no one knew what the content of the holy decree was.

Because of the matter of Xuanyuan Night, countless pairs of eyes have been staring at the palace recently, and Gao Yong's sudden entry into the palace must have attracted countless attention both overt and secretly.

For a time, the temptation of the Criminal Department appeared in the dark, but Gao Yong deserved to be the legendary iron-faced selfless representative.

did not show the slightest flaw, and there was no wind to show it.

Just when the government and the opposition were trying to find a way to get some useful news from him, Gao Yong took the first step in the morning of the second day.

He died of illness because the king of Zhenbei was unknown, and he couldn't even see his body, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were among the civil and military officials who wanted to ask for an explanation or get accurate news about this matter.

Maverickly brought up the case of the Prime Minister's Office before this incident.

Gao Yong pointed out that the Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed disrespectful to the county lord and abused the emperor's relatives for nine years. and also presented a thick pile of evidence in front of the Manchu officials.

On the spot, the good court meeting was turned into the third division hall of the criminal department.

Prime Minister Shangguan Xun's face could not be described simply by the word "ugly", and he said emotionally in front of the courtiers that all the evidence was fake, and he also accused Gao Yong and Shangguan Li of getting close, and what he said did not count.

Taking this as a guide, His Royal Highness King An, who had been suspended for several days, also stood up and exposed a series of Shangguan Xun's acts of contempt for the monarch and disregard for the law.

It was another rebuttal from King Yu.

After a few days, the two sides quarreled again in the court because of this incident.

But unlike before, this time the emperor personally issued an order to set up three divisions to verify the evidence presented by Gao Yong. and gave a death order, and the matter must be dealt with within ten days.

With the emperor's clear statement this time, the news of the prime minister's abuse of the biological daughter who was named the lord of Shaoyang by the emperor was fueled by people with good intentions, and spread all over the country in the blink of an eye.

Even faster and more widespread than the news of King Zhenbei's death before.

Although the people did not completely leave King Zhenbei behind for this matter, in the case of overwhelming and a steady stream of fresh news, it seemed that the impact of the news of King Zhenbei's death was really suppressed.

The weather was gloomy that day, and Gao Yong was anxious in the criminal department, when suddenly the government came to report that the county lord was coming.

"Please, please."

When Shangguan Li slowly stepped into the meeting hall of the Criminal Department, which he had been to more than once before, the expression on Gao Yong's face could almost be described as longing.

"County Lord, you're here! If I don't come back, I'm going to pay a visit. ”

Shangguan Li casually found a place to sit down, and then asked.

"What's the matter, the evidence wasn't collected well?"

"It's not."

Gao Yong shook his head, seeing Shangguan Li's unhurried appearance, he couldn't help but be infected a little, and his tone was a little calmer.

"It's just going too well."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and let Shangguan Li see the two large boxes next to his desk, which contained documents, title deeds, letters, and all kinds of treasures.

"These are all evidence that points to the Prime Minister's favoritism, contempt for the king, and heinous crimes."

Shangguan Li took a sip of tea and was not surprised.

"Is there a problem with this evidence?"

Gao Yong still shook his head.

"It's all unclear, but the evidence about the county lord's case is very consistent with what the county lord said and the results of our secret investigation, and it can be basically confirmed to be true."

"What's wrong with that?"

Gao Yong frowned.

"But the timing of the appearance of this evidence is too coincidental, as if someone deliberately sorted it out and threw it out for me to see. The county lord has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, there are some things in it that you may have an impression of, I don't know ......"

As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped.

Looking at Shangguan Li, who had been drinking tea calmly from beginning to end, a somewhat crazy idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Without waiting for him to think about it, Shangguan Li put down the teacup, her white fingers quietly rested on the edge of the table, and she looked at Gao Yong and said slowly.

"Master Gao is right, I deliberately let the Criminal Department discover all this evidence."

"You ......"

"Does Lord Gao think that I have stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long and really haven't done anything?"

Gao Yong was a little incredulous.

Shangguan Li stood up, walked to the two boxes, hooked a teapot casually, and said lightly.

"This is a purple teapot specially supplied by Jiangnan, which is said to be the collection of tea masters of the previous dynasty. In the seventeenth year of Shengyuan, that is, when I was fifteen years old, the officials below gave it to my father, with the purpose of exempting Huaiyin River from customs duties for three years. ”

She put down the teapot and picked up another letter.

"In the nineteenth year of Sheng Yuan, Qingzhou Thorn Shi wrote a letter to my father, wanting to exchange one million taels of snowflake silver for my father's support for His Royal Highness King Yu to go east for disaster relief. The letter was stopped and did not reach my father's hand, but the money actually entered the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. And ......"
