Chapter 19: A false alarm

The hall was filled with the voices of Liang Ruitian's family pleading.

The emperor stood on the top seat, condescending, staring at Liang Yuyu.

The little one's eyes were wide open, and his black pupils kept spinning.

She put the thumb of her right hand on her lip, opened and closed her pink lips, sucked her fingertips, and looked at the emperor intently.

[Unexpectedly, when the whole family was most united, it was actually to save my life. 】

[The scumbag usually values face so much, but now he kowtows for me. 】

Liang Yuyu's heart was warm.

The more I feel the warmth from my family, the more aggrieved I feel.

Thinking about it, the tip of her nose fluttered, and a pearl-like tear overflowed her eyes, slowly falling down her pink little face.

This tear dripped directly into the emperor's heart.

His tightly knit brow slowly stretched, his feet paused slightly, he took a step back, and sat down in the dragon chair.

The emperor hung his head and pondered for a long time before slowly raising his hand holding the red silk card under the table.

He let out a long sigh, and the red silk card was gently put back on the table: "Hey, my ninth princess was only so big when she died. ”

Hearing this, Liang Ruitian raised his eyes carefully, his jaw trembled slightly, and he looked at the emperor tremblingly.

His forehead was already red and swollen, and blood was sliding down the corners of his forehead.

Liang Ruitian didn't care about the pain, and stepped forward on his knees: "Your Majesty, so you are willing to spare the little girl's life?" ”

Cen Shangshu saw that the emperor's anger actually dissipated a little, and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the emperor is corrupt and perverts the law, disregarding the lives of the people, and every pile is enough to connect the nine clans. If this case cannot be convicted, will it not encourage corruption and bribery? In the future, above the court, where will there be people who will do things solidly? ”

Liang Yuyu was awakened by Cen Shangshu's words.

[What piles are enough to convict? It's just the words of a few subordinates, at most, it can be regarded as repeating the rumors in the capital, is there any evidence? 】

[If there is no evidence, it is just indiscriminate climbing. 】

Liang Ruitian looked away dreamily, staring at Cen Shangshu with blood-red eyes: "You said that I was corrupt and perverted the law, but is there any evidence?" ”

"These are all your house slaves, and their words are not proof?"

Liang Ruitian sneered coldly, and the corners of his mouth moved with disdain: "Cen Shangshu, everyone in the capital knows, a few days ago, you searched my Liang Mansion and failed, but in the end you want to apologize to me." You have a grudge in your heart, so it is not impossible to bribe some of them for perjury. What kind of evidence are the words of a few of them? ”

[That's right!] That's it! If he has the ability, let him take out the silver taels or letters that the scumbag has embezzled and bribed, and that can be regarded as conclusive evidence. 】

A touch of looseness flashed in Liang Ruitian's eyes, he quickly covered it up, and looked at Cen Shangshu again: "If Cen Shangshu can take out the silver taels or bribe-taking letters embezzled by the official, the official will naturally be convinced." Otherwise, it would be too far-fetched and casual to want to buckle such a big hat for this official just by relying on a few people to talk nonsense. ”

Cen Shangshu was speechless for a while, his mouth was half open, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Cen Shangshu?" The emperor was slightly displeased and looked at Cen Shangshu, "Do you have specific evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, when the minister came, he had already sent someone to the household department to check the accounts, and he must have an answer soon, and please don't be impatient."

The corners of the emperor's eyebrows were slightly raised, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and his right hand gently tapped twice on the table: "It's already in front of me and still checking the accounts, Cen Shangshu, why don't you prepare early?" ”

Cen Shangshu heard the dissatisfaction in the emperor's words, but he had no choice.

Liang Ruitian has a noble status, if he didn't get the will, who would dare to check his accounts for no reason?

Fortunately, he was prepared, but he couldn't sit on Liang Ruitian to take bribes, at least he couldn't run away from corruption.

If he didn't kill his whole family, he would be charged with exile.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Inside the hall, there was silence.

"Lord Shangshu." The shrill voice of the little eunuch outside the door pierced the silence in the hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

Even Liang Yuyu pulled the swaddling clothes, stretched his neck as much as he could, and looked out.

Cen Shangshu stepped forward quickly and whispered to the little eunuch.

Others couldn't see Cen Shangshu's expression clearly, but Liang Yuyu used the angle to see the trembling look on Cen Shangshu's face clearly.

[It seems that Cen Shangshu has no evidence that can be obtained. 】

Xu is mind relaxed, Liang Yuyu couldn't help yawning.

She opened her mouth, and a crisp 'wow' clearly came into the ears of everyone in the hall.

The corners of Shen Yuexi's lips twitched, she hurriedly lowered her head, raised her hand to cover Liang Yuyu's small mouth, and made a silent gesture to her: "Good baby, bear with me." ”

[Meiniang, I'm a little baby, how can I bear yawning? 】

As if to express his dissatisfaction with Shen Yuexi's patience, Liang Yuyu tossed over, and his chubby legs swayed up and down on Shen Yuexi's arms.

She turned over, facing Shen Yuexi, and her white right arm leaned out.

The snorting palm clasped on Shen Yuexi's face, and her little feet were still kicking to show her dissatisfaction.

Shen Yuexi was worried that the emperor would blame, and looked at the upper seat with embarrassment in her eyes.

I don't want the emperor to look at the little guy intently.

Seeing Shen Yuexi looking at herself, she also warmly comforted: "It's okay." Back then, my ninth princess was also so lively and active. Children, if they are not lively, they will not be interesting. ”

[Hear that, right?] Beautiful girl, even the emperor said so, it doesn't matter if you yawn. 】

Liang Yuyu turned his head away, smashed his mouth and looked at the emperor, and even winked at him twice.

Her delicate appearance made the emperor laugh.

"Your Majesty."

Cen Shangshu's deep voice interrupted the emperor's laughter.

He restrained his expression, his eyebrows furrowed, and looked at Cen Shangshu: "But there is evidence?" ”

Cen Shangshu lowered his eyebrows, his face was full of frustration, his hands were clenched, and he slowly shook his head: "The person who audits the accounts of the household department returns ......."

Cen Shangshu glanced at Liang Ruitian and looked at each other for a long time before he said stupidly: "There is no problem with Lord Liang's accounting. It seems that those rumors are nothing more than rumors. ”

The emperor stared at Cen Shangshu coldly: "I trust you so much, and you repay me like this?" ”

Cen Shangshu Huo Ran raised his head: "Your Majesty, it was the minister's negligence for a while, he failed to verify it in time, acted impulsively, and asked the emperor to punish him." ”

This incident not only cost Cen Shangshu face, but even the emperor felt deeply embarrassed.

He simply pointed to Liang Ruitian: "Since today's matter is a matter between Cen Shangshu and Lord Liang, then Lord Liang has the final say." ”

[In the end, the emperor is not ordinary. One sentence directly turned today's incident into a contradiction between Cen Shangshu and the scumbag, and picked himself up completely. 】

[Awesome, really the role of a leader. 】

Shen Yuexi squeezed her eyebrows, kept giving Liang Yuyu a look, signaling that she couldn't talk nonsense anymore, and completely forgot Liang Yuyu's heart, and the emperor couldn't hear it at all.

Liang Ruitian took back the initiative and glanced triumphantly at the Liang Mansion's subordinates: "Where did you all see that this official was corrupt and took bribes?" ”
