Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 397 Impeachment! (Update )
The corners of Shen Yanchuan's lips curled up slightly.

"You also said that there are too many people in the hunting grounds, and if something unexpected happens, it will definitely cause a big commotion."

Yun Cheng understood instantly: "You mean... their real purpose is not to take the Third Prince's life, but--"

But we want everyone to see and know about this!

Shen Yanchuan glanced out the window and said, "Someone may have trouble sleeping tonight."

The Third Prince was stabbed. Who else had the most motive to do this except the Second Prince?
Yun Cheng frowned slightly: "But the Second Prince was finally released from confinement. Even if he wanted to do something, why would he choose this moment? Isn't this just pushing himself into the fire pit-"

He paused, suddenly realizing something.

"Someone wants to kill two birds with one stone!?"

The Third Prince was injured, and the Second Prince is not much better. Once His Majesty becomes suspicious, his future days will surely be very difficult.

Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.

"I'd like to know who would be so generous."

……

"Maybe."

Ye Chutang recalled,
"Looking at their skills, they are indeed quite similar."

Ye Jingyan's heart was in suspense.

"Really?"

Ye Chutang nodded: "Yeah, they are all quite fancy."

Ye Jingyan: "..."

He knew that he would not hear anything good about those people from his sister.

However, seeing his elder sister's relaxed and calm look, he felt relieved a little.

Since my sister said this, it proves that she doesn't take those people seriously.

A few years ago, on their way south, they encountered a few Nanhu swordsmen. It seemed that those people were on a mission at the time. Seeing that they, the siblings, were easy to bully, they planned to rob the carriage.

It was rare for my sister to get angry.

Because it was raining heavily, without the carriage, they would have no place to shelter from the rain.

It happened that Xiaowu was sick, with a red face and kept coughing.

Those people were so blind that they came to steal things, but in the end they died at the hands of their own knives.

He and Afeng also collected the silver from those people, which supported them all the way to Jiangling.

As for the corpse...

Ye Jingyan suddenly felt that the Nanhu swordsmen who were captured this time were a bit pitiful. After all, they were captured alive, and what awaited them was only an interrogation worse than death.

It would be better if those people died more quickly.

Ye Chutang waved his hand: "Don't worry, the owner behind them won't associate it with us."

Also.

Apart from them, no one knew that Sister was involved in the elimination of these swordsmen.

The incident happened several years ago and was hundreds of miles away from the capital. People who came afterward would never have expected that these two accidents were related to Ye Chutang.

"Come to think of it, the people behind them are really bold."

Ye Chutang nodded in agreement. They actually went straight to the royal hunting ground. Wasn't this just partying in Emperor Mu Wu's minefield?

"And money."

You know, it costs a lot to train a swordsman.

And this time the other party actually sent out so many people just for testing. They really have a huge fortune.

Ye Chutang suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"Starting from scratch and doing a legitimate business really requires hard work to earn money."

How can I compare to someone who has a deep financial foundation and spends money like water?

Ye Jingyan: "..."

He was silent for a long time, and said silently: "Fortunately Xiaowu didn't follow us into the forest." If she were at the scene, she would probably have to go up and pick up - no, search for "evidence" again.

Ye Chutang deeply agreed with this.

"She really needs to change her bad habits. It's not appropriate to keep thinking about picking up other people's banknotes. She should be down-to-earth."

Recently, she has started showing the account books of several shops to Xiaowu, and she actually found a few mistakes.

As long as Xiaowu grows up a little, all these tedious accounts can be handed over to her.

Thinking of this, Ye Chutang felt much better.

She suddenly remembered something: "By the way, is Ye Shixian's case closed?"

Ye Jingyan said seriously: "If I remember correctly, the verdict should be made the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chutang nodded, then raised his eyes to look at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

"I wonder how my second uncle would feel if he knew."

……

The news that Xu Jie had entered Beijing overnight quickly spread.

At the morning court session, all officials looked at the figure kneeling in the hall with curiosity.

Due to the severe disaster in Suinan and the burning of granaries, which resulted in heavy casualties among the refugees, Xu Jie asked for punishment.

"I failed to supervise properly and made a serious mistake. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

Emperor Mu Wu, sitting on the dragon throne, had a gloomy expression on his face.

He was already in a bad mood because of what happened during the autumn hunt. He had just returned to the palace and was woken up in the middle of his sleep by Xu Jie who came to the palace at midnight. How could he put on a good face at this time?

Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Jiang Zhaoyuan, who was standing at the front, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu did make a mistake, but the situation in Suinan is tense right now and it is time to use more people. I think it is better to let Lord Xu make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence. After the disaster is over and the people are comforted, it will not be too late to judge him later."

He is the prime minister of the cabinet, so his statement at this time is naturally particularly important.

As soon as he finished speaking, many officials stood up and agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Lord Xu performed his duties conscientiously during his tenure in Suinan. If we rashly replace him now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do better than Lord Xu."

"The merits and demerits cannot be offset, but other than Lord Xu, if someone else goes to Suinan, they will be unfamiliar with the various places, which may be even worse."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Xiao Chengxuan glanced at Xu Jie and a secret smile flashed across his face.

Xu Jie was able to become a governor in a short period of time, which shows that he has some ability.

If it were someone else, faced with such a mess, they would have given up long ago, but Xu Jie chose to return to Beijing.

It doesn’t matter if you are punished, what’s important is to admit your mistake!
As long as we find another opportunity to solve all those problems, all problems will be gone.

The remaining officials also exchanged cautious glances with each other.

Now that the Prime Minister has said so, how can they have any room to speak again?

Sure enough, Emperor Mu Wu stared at the ground below for a long time and finally spoke.

"I transferred you to Suinan. The current situation is indeed disappointing to me."

Xu Jie lowered his head even lower.

"However, what Lord Jiang said makes sense." Emperor Mu Wu said in a deep voice, "The disaster situation is the most important. I order you to return to Suinan as soon as possible, and at the same time allocate more disaster relief grain and funds to resolve the disaster of refugees as soon as possible! In addition, send people to thoroughly investigate the fire in the Suinan granary and the breach of the Li River embankment! If anyone is implicated, there will be no leniency!"

Xu Jie was delighted.

Your Majesty's intention is to let him go and give him another chance!
He banged his head on the ground and said in a loud voice: "I obey your orders! I will not let your majesty down!"

Emperor Muwu looked around the hall and asked, "Who else has something to report?"

The ministers were silent for a moment, and suddenly a man walked out from the line.

"I have this note!"

Xiao Chengxuan looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Xu Fengchi.

There seems to be nothing going on in the Censorate recently. What is he doing?
Xu Fengchi took a step forward, his eyes firm, and his deep and powerful voice came out clearly:

"I want to impeach Xu Jie, the Minister of Revenue and the Governor of Southern Suining, for lying about military intelligence, wasting the opportunity to fight, and killing General Huo Yucheng, resulting in the death of 80,000 soldiers!"
