Chapter 396: Clearly Came Prepared
"Master Yuhu, you have heard this and that, but have you heard anything about your reputation?"

"Who is this person?" Yu Linlang subconsciously looked at her uncle who was standing beside her.

The latter squinted at her, his entire facial expression shaking towards the emperor. The cramping was no less severe than eye muscle spasm, which was really a bit ridiculous...

The emperor looked at Yuhu, who was talking all the way, with an expressionless face, and finally couldn't help but coughing heavily.

The court officials all fell silent. Yu Linlang looked up, smiled and bowed, "Demon Suppression Division Yu Hu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

The emperor stared at her for a long while with a cold face, "Several officials from the Censorate, together with the scholars and assistants from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College, have submitted memorials to accuse you."

"Yuhu, do you admit that you solicited bribes in the street?"

Yu Linlang glanced at her uncle, whose eyes were still twitching at her.

Yu Linlang winked at her and gave her a "reassuring" expression.

Then he exchanged glances with Mu Zhao, Lu Qian, and Prince Pingkang who turned to look at him.

Suddenly, someone in the study raised his voice and shouted angrily, "Jade Fox! His Majesty is asking you a question? Why are you flirting with others?"

Yu Linlang hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this gentleman was so noisy in the court that I was startled! I guess Your Majesty was also frightened? It was impolite in front of the palace. According to the 58th article of Volume 7 of the Great Qi Law, those who are impolite should be punished with five to ten strokes of the cane in the court!"

"I second the motion." Ximen Bugui took a step aside with an expressionless face and stepped out with a jade sceptre in his hand.

"I second the proposal." The third prince took a step forward.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince, the Prince of Pingkang, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and others also stood up one after another. When the others saw that everyone had taken sides, even the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince seconded the motion.

Regardless of whether it is a breach of etiquette in front of the palace or not, please stand up and second the motion...

So, the lord Jade Fox, whose name was unknown, was dragged away by the guards while howling and beaten with eight boards.

I heard that he fainted, so naturally he couldn't continue to visit Lord Jade Fox.

The emperor was not an unkind person. All the court officials had fainted, so they had to be carried home to recuperate.

"Your Majesty! I would like to ask who is the minister who sent me here?"

Everyone:...

What? Do you want to drag out those who are involved in your case and give them a good beating?
The third prince winked at her and pursed his lips, almost ready to speak.

The emperor looked at the crowd below with an expressionless face, and suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Is it true that you solicited bribes in the street?"

Pei Yongji stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am the eldest son. I emptied my family's coffers to redeem your second son. It cost me 50,000 gold."

Yu Linlang showed a look of surprise, looked at Pei Yongji and exclaimed, "Prime Minister, is it you who teamed up with these people to file a complaint before His Majesty?"

"What do you mean by collusion? Lord Jade Fox, please be careful with your words!!"

"Yes, we were all extremely shocked when we heard about this. Even if Lord Yuhu didn't ask for a bribe from the Pei Mansion today, we would still submit a petition to report you!"

Yu Linlang glanced at the square-faced courtier, "Who are you?"

The corner of his second uncle Huo Wei's eye twitched, and he whispered, "This is the Chief Censor, Mr. Zhang. He wrote this impeachment letter to Your Majesty..."

"Imperial Censor Zhang." Yu Linlang's mind raced and a strange look appeared on her face. "It turns out to be you! You are taking revenge on your own and trying to frame me." Imperial Censor Zhang was furious.

"Zhang Yushi, it's fine that you criticized me in the court a few years ago, but now you are openly seeking revenge in front of His Majesty! You are so shameless at your age!"

Just spray it, who doesn’t know how to spray it?

The jade fox started spraying, and its little mouth kept moving without any pause.

"Your wife slandered me in court earlier. Wasn't it you who instructed her? It's true that people of the same family stick together. You two are really shameless and don't choose a good day."

"You can't even teach your own daughter well? You still dare to report me? I gave you face? Your daughter, a scoundrel committed a crime and set fire to a street in Yongtai, and then turned the tables and framed me, and finally dragged Tong'an Bofu to be stripped of his title."

"The other one was even more bizarre and brilliant. He was like a mad dog without a leash, chasing me and barking all the way down the street. Is he still in the Weizhou jail? He really made your Zhang family proud!"

"Your wife is even more amazing. She criticized me in public for being cold and heartless and mistreating my grandfather. What happened? She got slapped in the face in public. How come your wife didn't tell you about this when she went back? Your wife and children are like shrews. It's all your fault!"

"Bullshit!!!" Censor Zhang was so angry that he blurted out curses without thinking at all.

I was really pissed off by Yu Linlang.

"Not only did you lie, you also shit in public! You can't even clean up your own shit, and you still have the nerve to report me, Lord Zhang? What are you reporting me for? Aren't you just abusing your power for personal gain and retaliating?"

Censor Zhang fell backwards with his mouth twisted with anger.

Several imperial censors around him hurriedly reached out to help him, but saw that his old face was flushed red and he was gasping for breath with anger, and he could not speak at all.

What a guy! All the court officials exclaimed in their hearts, "What a guy!"

Lord Yuhu's fighting power is still as strong as ever, and he killed another person in court...

"Yuhu, you don't have to talk about other things! Just tell us whether you demanded a bribe of 50,000 gold in the street!"

"Your Majesty!" Yu Linlang shouted, and the relatives and friends in the front row all twitched their lips.

Lord Jade Fox climbed up several steps and sat down at the emperor's feet. He cried and sang beautifully, "Your Majesty, how could I ask for a bribe? Everything that happened that day..."

Yu Linlang raised her finger and pointed at several people in the front row. The third prince and the sixth prince silently took several steps back.

Yu Linlang pointed at the Prince of Pingkang accurately, "The Prince witnessed it with his own eyes. The second son of the Pei Mansion hired someone to assassinate a fourth-rank official in broad daylight! Is it wrong for me to ask the Pei Mansion to pay some compensation? Which law of the Great Qi Dynasty clearly states that the victim cannot ask for compensation from the perpetrator?"

Prince Pingkang rolled his eyes repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, we were all present at what happened that day and saw it clearly. It was compensation, not bribery. The bribery was fabricated out of thin air."

"Your Majesty! I am a straight-forward minister, and I cannot learn their roundabout ways. I can only be brave enough to face the injustice of the world towards me!"

Master Ximen raised his hand and secretly supported his forehead...

Why do I suddenly not want to acknowledge this kid anymore?

The emperor looked down at her expressionlessly, "Fifty thousand gold in compensation?"

Yu Linlang pretended to wipe away tears, "Yes, I asked for a huge sum, but the problem is, it's 50,000 gold. I just said it casually, just joking, I didn't expect the Prime Minister, the Peiguo Mansion, could really pay it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court fell silent.

Pei Yongji's eyelids twitched and he was secretly worried that something was wrong.
