The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2069
There were still people standing at the gate of Li Guozhang's mansion. Seeing Zhao Dongting and Long Huan appearing on the street, their expressions instantly became tense.

The leader was a woman.

She is Li Guozhang's wife and Ying Er's biological mother.

Zhao Dongting didn't take the initiative to enter the door, making her realize the disaster of her family, how can she care about being laughed at at this time.If it hadn't been for some changes over the past few years, I'm afraid she would only cry at this time.

She is also responsible for the fact that the master has come to this point.After all, she did not fulfill her duty of persuading the master.This also failed the emperor's expectations and trust.

No matter what, the emperor must be invited into the mansion.Even if, from then on, he became the laughing stock of the entire court.

Seeing Zhao Dongting's Long Zhu getting closer to the mansion, Ying'er's mother's expression became more and more nervous, and the expectation in her eyes gradually became stronger.

"emperor……"

Eunuch Liu beside Long Mou saw Ying Er's mother, and whispered to Long Mou Nei, "Mrs. Xi Hua is waiting for you at the gate of the house!"

Zhao Dongting said: "Then stop at the door!"

He hadn't planned not to enter Li Guozhang's door, but he didn't want to enter the door before, he just wanted to show his attitude to the courtiers.But now, it shows another attitude.

Li Guozhang will not tolerate him, but he will never step him into the mud either.After all, Li Guozhang is Ying Er's father.

Zhao Dongting admitted that it was difficult for him to be absolutely fair in this matter.

"The emperor..."

Before Yinger's mother, Mrs. Xihua could speak, Zhao Dongting's Long Huo had already stopped at the door.Eunuch Liu shouted: "The emperor is here..."

Mrs. Xihua's face instantly showed surprise, and she quickly saluted: "Welcome to the emperor..."

She doesn't look pretty now, but it's been ruined by life and the years.If you just talk about the facial features, they are indeed very good, no wonder they can give birth to such a delicate daughter as Ying Er.

Zhao Dongting got off the dragon and said, "Mother-in-law, please get up..."

After speaking, he walked towards Li's mansion.

Mrs. Xihua's eyes were slightly rosy, and she followed Zhao Dongting into the mansion.

Some servants in the mansion were already running towards it, shouting as they ran: "The emperor is here... The emperor is here..."

All of a sudden, Li's house jumped up and down.

They didn't know whether Zhao Dongting would come or not, so they couldn't be like other ministers' mansions where all the people in the mansion gathered at the door and waited.

Li Guozhang quickly ran out of the house, and when he was a few meters away from Zhao Dongting, he knelt down on the ground, "I respectfully welcome the emperor, Li Gen, long live the emperor..."

"The head of the state is exempt."

Zhao Dongting said lightly: "You are the head of the country, how can you give me such a big gift..."

"The minister is guilty, I beg the emperor to come down!"

Li Guozhang did not get up from the ground, and continued.

Zhao Dongting looked at him with his head on the ground, fell silent for a while, and walked past Li Guozhang, "Guo Zhang has something to say in the room."

The rest of the people knelt down on the ground, horrified in their hearts, but they dared not say anything.

Only the servants of Li's mansion are still not very clear about Li Guozhang's affairs.They're not at that level yet.

Li Guozhang and Mrs. Xihua followed Zhao Dongting into the house.

Eunuch Liu stopped at the door, and then stood like this on the right side of the main hall door.

After Zhao Dongting sat down at the main seat in the main hall, Mrs. Xihua hurriedly went to make tea, while Li Guozhang fell to his knees again with a thud, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Dongting said, "What's wrong with the father of the country?"

"The minister is in charge of the Royal Family Disaster Relief Fund, enriching his own pockets and confiscating them privately."

Li Guozhang straightened up suddenly, and took out a pamphlet from his sleeve, "This is the detailed list of the exploits I have received over the past two years, please the emperor... to punish me."

Holding the booklet in both hands, he handed it to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting took it, opened it, and saw ten lines at a glance.

Li Guozhang has also studied for several years, so the details are quite neat.The entire booklet contains the names of dozens of branch presidents like Yin Hanjiu in Da Song.

Zhao Dongting quickly saw Yin Hanjiu's name, and then took a closer look.I recalled Yin Hanjiu's share in my heart, and compared them one by one, but there was no discrepancy.

It seems that Li Guozhang did not forge anything, unless he already knew that Yin Hanjiu had confessed.But this is unlikely.

Yin Hanjiu made a confession in Jiading Mansion, except for a few people such as Hong Niangzi, only Zhao Dongting had seen the details of Yin Hanjiu's gift.

Furthermore, the people involved in this must all be arrested and questioned.Li Guozhang would not dare to fabricate this, because he did not have the possibility of communicating with all these people.

Zhao Dongting didn't know whether to be angry or rejoice after reading it.

Angry, of course, is because of Li Guozhang's act of "feeding back" to him by the people below, but fortunately, it is because Li Guozhang still has a conscience in his heart, and he knows that he confessed on his own initiative.

Given the current situation, Li Guozhang obviously doesn't know how far the investigation of the Royal Disaster Relief Foundation has gone.If he is the kind of person who does not want to repent, what he should do is to find ways to destroy the evidence, etc., instead of taking the initiative to plead guilty.

On the bright side, Li Guozhang has not reached the desperate situation after all.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is because Li Guozhang is timid.

Zhao Dongting closed the notebook slowly, and said, "Master, isn't the money that Zhen and Yinger gave you not enough for your family's expenses? Why did you do this?"

Just as Yin Hanjiu recruited, Li Guozhang always distributed the donations from the Royal Family Disaster Relief Foundation, and then asked them to exchange them for things.In such a way to deceive others, Li Guozhang obviously worked hard.

"I……"

Li Guozhang raised his head, with a look of guilt in his eyes, and said: "Actually, I don't know, it's just that someone gave me something, and it gradually became a habit, and then...began to ask for it from the people below. more and more precious."

He glanced at the main hall, and there were two large vases that were quite valuable, "Actually, none of these things have been exchanged for money..."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

This was the fourth time he had made Zhao Dongting guilty, and his voice was finally crying.

Zhao Dongting sighed deeply, "Have you ever thought about how those people under the foundation will do because of your request... The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, the national patriarch, my foundation, you It's a mess! It's a mess!"

"you say!"

He stood up, "What do you want me to do?"

There is an element of drama in it, but it is indeed very angry. Zhao Dongting stared, "If! If you are not Yinger's father, I really want to kill you! The disaster relief foundation is now almost becoming It is a cancer in the eyes of the common people!"

"Chen... death penalty."

Li Guozhang's head was stuck to the ground again.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "The death penalty is not enough. I can't kill you, but I won't favor you. I will hand over this thing to the Ministry of Supervision, and count it as a crime for you. As for how to betray you in the end, I can only let the Ministry of Law fair trial."

"Clap!"

Mrs. Xihua who was secretly listening to Zhao Dongting's words made the tea cup fall to the ground and shattered.

Let the Ministry of Law deal with it fairly, and I'm afraid my master will have to spend the rest of his life in prison...

After all, she was a woman, so she burst into tears, knelt down towards Zhao Dongting and said, "The emperor is merciful! The emperor is merciful..."
