"Father-in-law, why are you here?"

Chu Ze walked up to the chamberlain and squatted down.

He looked at the dark blue eyes of the waiter, and subconsciously stretched out his hand-

“！！！”

The waiter turned pale with fright, and shrank back several steps with a frightened face.

Chu Ze: "......"

Chu Ze hurriedly withdrew his hand.

He coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, I just woke up, my brain is a little unconscious, let's make amends to you." He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers twice at Zhao Si.

Zhao Si comprehended.

He ran out at once, and returned a short time later.

And he had in his hand a few ingots of silver.

Chu Ze took the silver and stuffed it into the arms of the waiter, which was regarded as a gift of reparation.

The waiter was honestly afraid.

He just saw Chu Ze wake up just now, so he leaned over and wanted to tell him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced that he had entered the palace.

As a result, before he could speak, he was punched in the eye.

Nearly killed him.

But...... The waiter lowered his head, looked at the white silver in his arms, and silently put it in his sleeve.

It's not that he's greedy for money, it's mainly that Lord Chu showed mercy to his subordinates just now, and he didn't hurt too hard.

The chamberlain had a dark blue and swollen panda eye, and grinned with a grin: "Your Excellency is really polite, our family is here to summon your adult into the palace on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

looked at the waiter in front of him who was obviously in pain, but he still had to laugh, and he smiled so hotly.

Chu Ze silently looked away.

In the name of changing clothes, Chu Ze stepped aside and asked the waiter: "Does my father-in-law know what it is for?" ”

The waiter's face showed a little worry: "Today, in the last court, more than a dozen adults impeached the adults together, saying that the adults were corrupt and perverted the law, and they also intended to rebel." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered our family to invite adults into the palace to confront these adults. ”

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Lan Ruoyan was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and she scolded sharply: "Are these adults all brains broken?" How could Brother Chu Ze bend the law and rebel! They want to frame Brother Chu Ze, and they don't know how to find a better reason! ”

The corners of Chu Ze's mouth twitched when he heard this.

This little girl knows herself quite well.

She didn't mention the word corruption.

Lan Ruoyan was angry, turned her head and went out, took out a mallet, and shouted that she wanted to go to court with Chu Ze to teach those people a lesson.

Chu Ze hurriedly held her down: "Just those old miscellaneous hairs, still use your hands?" He took the lance and handed it to Zhao Si, asking him to quickly take the lance down, and then Chu Ze took Lan Ruoyan and walked out the door, "You wait in the mansion to see how your brother Chu Ze teaches them." ”

After he held Lan Ruoyan down, he asked Zhao Si to prepare things, and then entered the palace with the chamberlain.

With a message: "Lord Chu Ze has arrived!" ”

Chu Ze strode into the hall.

As soon as he walked in, he felt more than a dozen malicious glances.

The corners of Chu Ze's mouth hooked, and he walked to the hall without squinting.

On your knees.

"Xiaguan Chu Ze, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Well, get up." Zhu Biao called him to get up, and then said, "In the early court today, led by Master Jiang and Master Sun, more than a dozen adults participated in corruption and perverted the law, and in the name of opening a school, they recruited talents for themselves, intending to rebel. What do you have to say? ”

Chu Ze stood in the hall and immediately became happy when he heard Zhu Biao's words.

"It's been so many days since we entered the DPRK, and it's the first time that so many people have participated in our rebellion. I don't know which adults are so talented, it's better to stand up and let us recognize people. Chu Ze's gaze swept over the officials.

The officials subconsciously took a step back.

Chu Ze let out a brief sneer.

These people only dare to stir up trouble behind their backs, and if they really want to do it in front of him, they all become turtles with shrunken heads.

I just don't know what their expressions were when they received the cashier.

When Lord Jiang saw this scene, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

Obviously, last night, they agreed to impeach Chu Ze together today.

When the people arrived, did they coax first?

They coax, but he doesn't.

If they can't take Chu Ze down today, they will die.

Master Jiang gritted his teeth and took the lead in standing up.

"Lord Chu, don't put on such a cold face to scare people, it was you who we impeached, impeached you for accepting money, the evidence is in your mansion, do you have the courage to let us investigate?" Master Jiang was as imposing as he was, and his voice was loud, and as soon as he spoke out, he immediately gave the others confidence.

The second person to stand up was Master Sun.

He said to Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Chu Ze is just a petty official of four or five grades, and his annual income is no more than twenty-four stones of rice, where did he get so much silver?" ”

After these two people came forward, others also stepped forward one after another.

"What Master Sun said is good, as far as we know, Chu Ze has always acted flamboyantly, and spending money is like running water. So where did all his money come from? ”

"Naturally, it's corruption!"

"Your Highness, please investigate thoroughly!"

These words are quite reasonable.

Chu Ze sneered: "Where did the silver in our hands come from, Your Highness naturally knows, but where does the silver in the hands of the officials come from, I'm afraid that you have to give Your Highness an answer."

His Royal Highness, at the behest of His Royal Highness, went to Zhenjiang Mansion to investigate the case of collusion between officials and businessmen, and now it has been ascertained.

Situ Yi, the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, colluded with Lu Huailiang, a local gentry, to use the ore veins in the hands of the Lu family to maliciously raise prices.

Oh yes, according to Situ Yi and Lu Huailiang's confessions, they also have backers in the court. ”

When Chu Ze said this, he deliberately stopped and glanced at Lord Jiang and the others.

That glance made Master Jiang's heart almost jump out of his throat.

Without waiting for him to speak, Chu Ze looked away.

He continued: "The evidence is outside the palace, and I also ask His Highness to enter the palace with Zhao Sixuan, the servant of the ministers. ”

Zhu Biao: "Xuan." ”

"Xuan Zhao Si entered the palace."

Zhao Si outside the hall immediately walked in with evidence and presented it to Zhu Biao.

As soon as Zhu Biao was about to take it over, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out from behind the hall.

The crowd hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

With a cold face, he walked over to the dragon seat and sat down.

Ever since Lord Jiang said that they would impeach Chu Ze, he has been behind.

Until this time.

After glancing at everyone majestically, he said coldly: "Get up." You, bring us the evidence. The latter sentence was addressed to the chamberlain who was holding the account book.

The chamberlain immediately held the account book in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the account book and began to look through it.

The first book he saw was the list of gifts that Situ Yi and Lu Huailiang gave to officials in Beijing that Chu Ze had deliberately placed on top.

When he was still in the mansion, after hearing the father-in-law who passed the decree say the reason why Zhu Biao was looking for him, he guessed that these officials who were clamoring for his impeachment were these officials who colluded with Situ Yi and Lu Huailiang.

Only they would suddenly attack themselves without warning and on such a large scale.

Because Chu Ze has their evidence.
