Chapter 1438 Si Gu Jian takes the blame!

"Marquis Anyang, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Qing's face showed no joy or anger.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengru pretended to be extremely angry and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Censor Wei just reported is completely false!"

"Today we are talking about Lin Gong's murder case. Censor Wei is talking about this and that. Could it be that he wants to protect someone?"

"You...you are disrespectful. When have I ever covered up for anyone?" The old man almost fainted. He thought he was doing everything for the public, but he never expected to be insulted like this.

He immediately became so excited that he was about to hit the Panlong Jade Pillar next to him.

He cried out in tears: "My Lord, I am truly ashamed of my country."

"Master Wei, it doesn't have to be that serious!" The ministers nearby naturally hurried to stop him, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Silence, silence~" Eunuch Hou also shouted hurriedly.

This old man neither embezzled nor accepted bribes. In addition, he was a veteran of three dynasties, so all officials were polite to him. He wanted to commit suicide when he disagreed with someone. He was like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard.

But Li Chengru was not afraid. He stared at him with a sharp gaze: "Master Wei, do you think this kid is just playing house? What evidence do you have to accuse me of corruption?"

"If there is no evidence, then it is malicious slander. It is purely a personal revenge. Isn't it because your nephew was riding a horse in the street in Kyoto some time ago, and I arrested him and put him in the Wucheng Bingmasi Prison!"

"You..." Old man Wei was so angry that he was waving his arms and legs, and was about to bang his head against the pillar.

He really had no intention of covering up for him. He himself did not get along with Lin Ruofu and thought he was a traitor in the court. He just wanted to help the prince out of trouble. The system of primogeniture was extremely sacred in his heart.

"All right!"

Emperor Qing only said these two words, and everyone returned to their original positions instantly. The originally chaotic scene was actually in order. All kinds of things had been settled over the years, and the imperial power had reached its peak in his hands!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We were impolite." All the civil and military officials bowed their hands and apologized. Wei Zheng was no exception. Even though he was stubborn, he knew how to assess the situation.

Li Chengru did not intend to let it go. If he lost this opportunity, it would be difficult to escape, so he simply turned around and bent down again.

"How should we deal with Lin Gong? Your Majesty, please let me know!"

Lin Ruofu, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but look over when he heard this. Although he had two sons and one daughter, his eldest son had been ill when he was a child and was mentally retarded. In fact, only Lin Gong could support the Lin family.

What’s going on with the eldest prince now!

Logically speaking, the Lin family hadn't offended him, so why were they chasing after him?

The ministers all had different thoughts and none of them could guess the purpose of Li Chengru's actions.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of wheels rubbing against the ground outside the hall. At the same time, some officials at the back who were not of the same rank noticed the person coming and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Dean Chen!"

"Hmm~"

The person who came was Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair. The moment he arrived in the hall, everyone's attention was attracted to him. This is the deterrent power of the King of Darkness.

It can be said that in the imperial court of Qing Kingdom, this person can at least be ranked in the top five. The Inspection Office is no joke. The heads of civil and military affairs, Prime Minister Lin and Duke Qin, have to give him three points of courtesy. He is also the idol of all the eunuchs in the palace.

Chen Ping was pushed over by the imperial guards, and he bowed while sitting in a wheelchair: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I can't perform this ceremony!"

"Hmm~" Emperor Qing nodded and glanced at everyone present with a sharp gaze.

"President Chen, inform the ministers and Marquis Anyang of the results of the Inspection Office's investigation!"

"Yes, sir!" After Chen Pingping finished speaking, the poetic man turned his wheelchair, looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, and finally stopped his gaze on Li Chengru.

After a moment, he looked away and said, "Everyone, after careful investigation by our Inspection Office, we found that the real murderer of a family of seven was Si Gu Jian from Dong Yi!" Everyone was stunned instantly. You looked at me, then at you. How could the murderer become Si Gu Jian?

"President Chen, this is serious!" Li Chengru looked at him with a smile.

Are you trying to fool me here?
What a shame, but they put all the blame on Si Gu Jian!

As a great master, how could he have so much free time to kill ordinary people?
If Si Gu Jian knew that he did nothing and ended up with such a bad reputation in Qing Kingdom, wouldn't he knock on your door in the middle of the night?
Now it is obvious that this is a louse on a bald head. It is estimated that the only way for Chen Pingping to come here in person is probably because Emperor Qing is behind it. He wants to protect Lin Gong.

"Of course it's true!"

No one noticed that when Chen Pingping, who was in a wheelchair, said this, there was a bit of complexity in his eyes, because he, as the director of the Inspection Institute, lied.

This went against the original intention of the Inspection Institute, but there was really no other way. As a disabled person, he really could not disobey Emperor Qing's orders, especially when the other party offered conditions that could not be refused!

Li Chengru glanced at Chen Pingping with a hint of sarcasm. Ye Qingmei probably never expected that this day would come. The Inspection Institute that she created for the sake of fairness has gradually become a tool to consolidate the imperial power.

"Since this is the result of Dean Chen's investigation, I naturally have nothing to say~"

"That's it!" Emperor Qing stood up and prepared to leave.

Over there, Eunuch Hou was about to announce the adjournment of the court as soon as he cleared the dust.

"Your Majesty~" Li Chengru spoke again.

"What's the matter?"

"I resign from the post of Deputy Commander of the Five Cities Military Command!"

"Boss, what do you mean?" Emperor Qing was dissatisfied.

In fact, this was Li Chengru's real purpose. He was forced to work in the Wucheng Bingmasi because he had no way to refuse.

As a result, he was taken advantage of by this old emperor. He had already offended all the powerful people in the capital. If he continued like this, he would have no chance of survival. He happened to encounter this matter of Lin Gong, so he took advantage of it and simply refused the job.

All power is empty, only one's own strength is the hard truth. Now I have been stuck at the eighth level for more than a year. I am busy with official duties and have no time to practice. This is a good opportunity to break through to the ninth level.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still found an excuse: "Your Majesty, Si Gu Jian is so rampant that he killed people right under my nose. It is really impossible to maintain the law and order in the capital. I hope Your Majesty will choose someone else who is virtuous and capable!"

The other ministers were stunned for a moment. They had dreamed of letting this devil leave the Wucheng Bingmasi, but they didn't expect that he would actually resign on his own initiative.

But this is understandable. The eldest prince must be very sad. He did his job with all his heart, but the result was this.

The murderer is Si Gu Jian?

You are trying to fool fools!
The eyes of the civil and military officials looking at Li Chengru changed from resentment to pity. Emperor Qing was not easy to serve. Now that his own son had ended up like this, they had to be even more careful.

The Second Prince and the Crown Prince both had expressions of shock in their eyes, not understanding why their eldest brother would do this.

This is the Wucheng Bingmasi, which is in charge of the capital's public security, with thousands of soldiers under its command. The two of them dreamed of taking it all in, but this guy actually quit on his own initiative!

"Prince, are you sure you want to resign?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I really don't have the face to resign!"

Hearing the slightly dissatisfied tone of the old man, Li Chengru showed an aggrieved expression on the surface.

"I agree!" Emperor Qing said and left.
