After all the villains read my mind, they all came clean

Chapter 19 A false alarm

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

The emperor stood on top, looking down at Liang Yuyu.

The little guy's eyes were wide open, and his dark pupils were spinning around.

She put her right thumb on her lips, 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 to save my life. 】

[Scumbag dad usually values ​​​​face so much, but now he is kowtowing for me. 】

Liang Yuyu felt warm in her heart.

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

As she thought about it, the tip of her nose twitched, and a pearl-like tear overflowed from her eyes, slowly falling down her pink face.

This tear dropped directly into the emperor's heart.

His frown slowly relaxed, his feet paused slightly, he took a staggering step back, and plopped down into the dragon chair.

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

He sighed deeply and put the red silk card gently on the table: "Hey, my ninth princess was only this big when she died."

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

His forehead was red and swollen, and blood was dripping down his forehead.

Liang Ruitian ignored the pain and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, are you willing to spare my little girl's life?"

Cen Shangshu saw that the emperor's surging anger had dissipated somewhat, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are corrupt, perverting the law, and disregarding the lives of the people. Every single one of them is enough to implicate the nine tribes. If this case cannot be convicted, wouldn't it encourage the trend of corruption and bribery? In the future, where will anyone in the court be able to do things honestly?"

Liang Yuyu was awakened by Cen Shangshu's words.

【What kind of piles are enough to convict someone?But just a few servants' words can be regarded as repeating the rumors in the capital. Is there any evidence? 】

[There is no evidence, just random biting. 】

Liang Ruitian turned his head away in a dream, staring directly at Cen Shangshu with his blood-red eyes: "You said that I was corrupt and perverted the law, do you have any evidence?"

"These are all your domestic slaves. Don't their words count as evidence?"

Liang Ruitian sneered coldly and raised his lips with disdain: "Shang Shu, everyone in the capital knows that you failed to search my Liang Mansion a few days ago, but in the end you wanted to apologize to me. You have resentment in your heart, so you paid a lot of money to bribe some of them to give false testimony. It’s not impossible. What kind of evidence do a few of them count?”

【right!that's all!If you have the ability, ask him to bring out the money or letters about the scumbag's corruption and bribery. That will be the conclusive evidence. 】

A flash of looseness flashed in Liang Ruitian's eyes. He quickly covered it up and looked at Cen Shangshu again: "If Cen Shangshu can show me the money that I embezzled or the bribery letter, I will naturally be convinced. Otherwise, it will only rely on the nonsense of these few people. Fan, it would be too far-fetched and arbitrary to put such a big label on me."

Cen Shangshu was speechless for a moment, with his mouth half open, unable to say a word for a long time.

"Cen Shangshu?" The emperor looked slightly displeased and looked at Cen Shangshu, "Do you have any concrete evidence?"

"Your Majesty, when I arrived, I had already sent someone to the Household Department to check the accounts. I believe we will have an answer soon. Please be patient, Your Majesty."

The emperor's eyebrows were slightly raised, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he tapped his right hand twice on the table: "You have already made trouble in front of me and are still checking the accounts, Cen Shangshu, why didn't you make preparations earlier?"

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

Liang Ruitian has a distinguished status. If he didn't get the decree, who would dare to check his accounts for no reason?
Fortunately, I was well prepared, but if I couldn't convince Liang Ruitian to take bribes, at least the corruption wouldn't be able to escape.

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

Time passed by minute by minute.

There was silence in the main hall. "Master Shangshu." The sharp voice of the young eunuch outside the door broke the silence in the hall.

Everyone turned to look at him at the same time.

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

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

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

[It seems that Cen Shangshu has no evidence that he can produce. 】

Xu Shi's mind was relaxed, and Liang Yuyu couldn't help but yawned.

She opened her mouth, and a clear "Wow" sounded clearly to the ears of everyone in the hall.

The corners of Shen Yuexi's lips twitched, she quickly lowered her head, raised her hand to cover Liang Yuyu's mouth, and made a silencing gesture to her: "My dear, please bear with me."

[Meiniang, I’m just a little baby, how can I hold back yawning? 】

As if to express his dissatisfaction with Shen Yuexi for allowing him to endure it, Liang Yuyu rolled over and swung his chubby legs up and down on Shen Yuexi's arms.

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

The palm of her hand was 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 her, so she looked up at the table with embarrassed eyes.

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

Seeing Shen Yuexi looking at her, she warmly comforted her: "It's okay. My ninth princess was also so lively and active back then. Children, it would be boring if they weren't lively."

[Did you hear that?My dear, even the emperor said so, it’s okay to yawn. 】

Liang Yuyu turned her head away, opened her mouth and looked at the emperor, and even blinked at him twice.

Her cute and innocent look made the emperor laugh.

"emperor."

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

He calmed down, frowned, and looked at Cen Shangshu: "But is there evidence?"

Cen Shangshu lowered his eyebrows and looked dejected. He clasped his hands and shook his head slowly: "The person who audits the accounts from the Household Department reported back..."

Cen Shangshu glanced at Liang Ruitian out of the corner of his eye, looked at each other for a long time, and then said angrily: "There is no problem with Mr. Liang's accounts. It seems that those rumors are just rumors."

The emperor stared at Cen Shangshu coldly: "Thankfully, I trust you so much. Is this how you repay me?"

Cen Shangshu suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty, I was negligent for a moment, failed to check in time, and acted impulsively. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Not only did Cen Shangshu lose face, but even the emperor felt deeply embarrassed.

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

[After all, the emperor is extraordinary.In just one sentence, today's events turned into a conflict between Cen Shangshu and Scumbag's father, which completely destroyed him. 】

[Awesome, awesome, indeed a leader. 】

Shen Yuexi winked and winked at Liang Yuyu, signaling her to stop talking nonsense, completely forgetting that the emperor could not hear Liang Yuyu's thoughts.

Liang Ruitian took back the initiative and glanced at the servants of the Liang Mansion triumphantly: "Where did you see my official being corrupt and accepting bribes?"
