Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

After Li Chong left, Mrs. Xue Er hurriedly asked her servant to go to Suping Prince's Mansion to find Xue Hesong.But the boy went there, but there was no news for a long time. Mrs. Xue Er became more and more anxious and panicked.

"No, we can't let them find Li Xiang's body!"

Mrs. Xue Er thought of this and hurriedly called the housekeeper and asked him to take the two nurses to the Confucian Temple immediately.

"You must dare to get Li Xiang's body before those officials find it, and clean it carefully without leaving any evidence."

The housekeeper was a little hesitant, after all, it was such a big deal.

"Madam, it's better to wait for the second master."

"By the time he comes back, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Can……"

"Don't forget that you were the one who beat Li Xiang to death and dumped his body in a dry well. If the government finds him, you will be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper became anxious, "It's obviously the order given by you and the second master, and the younger one just followed it."

"You were the one who did it. Second Master and I don't know anything!" Mrs. Xue Er snorted coldly.

The housekeeper was extremely angry. These two people were so evil-minded that once something happened, they would definitely put all the blame on him.Now, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly took the two nurses to the west city.

Li Chong and several official servants hid in a hidden place at the corner in front of the Confucian Temple.

"Boss, are the people from Duke Yang's Mansion really going to come here and move the body?" an official asked.

Li Zhong paused, "I can only take a gamble."

"Xu Fuyin asked you to investigate this case, but he was just sending the Queen Mother, but he didn't ask you to actually find Li Xiang's body." Another official said worriedly.

"Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll take care of it."

"We are really afraid that our jobs will not be guaranteed, and we are also afraid that you will be targeted by Xu Fuyin."

"I've become the head catcher, so what do I have to fear? It's just that if the Li family's case is not investigated, I won't be able to feel at ease for a day. You were also involved in this case at that time. How pitiful the Li family is, Mr. Yang Guo The government is very arrogant, and we know clearly that the murderer is from Duke Yang's government, but we can't do anything about it, and we have to be demoted and fined."

Several other officials sighed, "Indeed, after working as an official for so many years, this is the first time I'm so useless."

"Furthermore, the Queen Mother asked us to investigate this case. Who is this Queen Mother? But the former Princess of Zhenbei, she will definitely not protect Yang Guo's palace."

Several officials almost nodded, "Let's see tonight."

After appeasing several officials, Li Zhong took a deep breath. In fact, he was very flustered.Firstly, he was not sure whether the Yangguo Palace would come to move the body, and secondly, he was afraid that Liu Yunxiang's current ability would not be able to bring down the Yangguo Palace.

Then Xu Yuancheng will definitely not be able to spare him.

After a while, three figures appeared furtively, looked around, and then ran towards the dry well.

"Boss."

Li Chong hurriedly hissed at the officer beside him, "Wait a little longer until they fish out the bones."

The housekeeper here led two guards to confirm that no one was around, then lit a torch and asked one of the guards to take it down the well.

The nurse was a little reluctant, and the housekeeper scolded him a few times before he had to go down.

Because of the torch's illumination, Li Chong also recognized that this person was the steward of Duke Yang's Mansion.His heart suddenly rose to his throat. When they fished out the bones, Li Zhong gave an order and rushed out with a few officials.

The next day at the court meeting, Liu Yunxiang was sitting in the Queen Mother's seat. When Gao Wenchang, the Minister of Punishment, arrived, she was slightly relieved.Looking at Lu Changan again, he is at the head of the hundred officials, listening to the reports from the courtiers. He keeps silent about small things and only speaks out about big things. And when he speaks, he basically does what he wants.

Yan'er was still young and did not participate in government affairs, but as the Queen Mother, she listened to the affairs behind the curtain, but she was just like a decoration.

After discussing several political matters, Gao Wenchang stepped forward and reported directly to Liu Yunxiang: "Queen Mother, I would like to hear a case in the court today."

As soon as this was said, the courtiers discussed it one after another. "The case is tried in the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple or the court of Jingzhao Mansion. The court is not the place to try the case."

"Exactly, Master Gao must be confused."

While everyone was discussing, Gao Wenchang continued: "This case involves a certain important minister in the DPRK. Even our Ministry of Punishment may not be able to put it to trial."

"Gao Shangshu, don't be alarmist. There is no case that your Criminal Department can't try. It's obviously an attempt to delay everyone's time."

As he said that, he also winked at Lu Changan.

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes, knowing that Xue Hesong's evil deeds had been exposed.If he wanted to protect him, he couldn't agree to it.

"The Queen Mother..."

"King Suping." Liu Yunxiang interrupted Lu Changan and smiled, "I know that you are busy with many things and your time is precious. I would rather you go down to court first. The same goes for all the ministers. But I have nothing to do, so I would like to hear this. case."

Lu Changan was so speechless that he didn't know what to say, and Gao Wenchang added: "Other adults can take the first step, but Master Xue must stay."

Xue Hesong frowned, "What do you mean, Mr. Gao?"

"It means that we need Mr. Xue to cooperate with the case."

"I act and sit upright, Sir Gao, don't slander me!"

"In that case, what is Mr. Xue afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid!"

"That's good."

Gao Wenchang looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "I would like to invite some witnesses to the court."

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "This court is Master Gao's court now. You come to preside over the trial, and we will just sit in and watch."

"Thank you, Empress."

While speaking, Gao Wenchang stood in the middle of the court and gave instructions to the attendants outside.After waiting for a while, Li Zhong took the lead and came in. First came Li Xiang's skeleton, then Mrs. Li and the wife of the Li family, and then the steward of Duke Yang's Mansion and the two nurses.

"Master Gao, if you bring a skeleton to the court, you are not afraid of bumping into two nobles!" Xue Hesong gritted his teeth.

Liu Yunxiang said: "I have done nothing wrong, and I am not afraid of collision."

Qin Yan also said: "I'm not afraid either!"

Xue Hesong was speechless now and could only look at Lu Changan for help.Lu Changan had a sullen face. Xue Hesong, a fool, had allowed things to develop to this point. He could no longer protect him.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the palace, she knelt on the ground and said, "The Duke of Yang is bullying others, killing my son and grandson, and driving my daughter-in-law crazy. I beg the two saints, the emperor and the queen mother, to make the decision for our Li family!"

"This woman is talking nonsense. I, I don't know their family at all!" Xue Hesong said anxiously.

At this time, the Li family's wife recognized Xue Hesong and suddenly stepped forward like crazy. Xue Hesong might as well be thrown into her arms. Before she could react, she was bitten on the neck.

"Ah! Pull away from this lunatic!"

Li Chong hurriedly went forward with his officials to pull the Li family's wife, but the Li family's wife was panting heavily, staring at Xue Hesong with red eyes.

After finally pulling her back, she saw the skeleton again, and suddenly fell to the ground, whimpering loudly.

The cry resounded throughout the court, and those who heard it could not help but be moved.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Li, Madam of the Li family, if you have any grievances, just tell them in court." (End of Chapter)
