Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1160
When dinner was approaching, Feng Qian was doing homework with the little prince when two apprentices walked in hurriedly holding the report box.

"Master, quickly use your key to open it and see if there is any legal paper inside." Tang Chenyu placed the report box in front of Feng Qian.

Feng Qingyu couldn't wait to come over: "I shook the box just now, and it seemed to be moving a bit. Master, open it and have a look!"

The little prince also put down the pen in his hand curiously, and stretched his neck to look around: "Mother, what's in it?"

Feng Qian didn't answer any of them, but silently took out the key and opened the lock on the report box, but she didn't open the box immediately, but took a deep breath, and she became a little nervous, not knowing what the box was. What kind of surprises or troubles will be waiting for her inside...

"Queen, open it!"

Under the urging of her son and the expectant gaze of the two apprentices, Feng Qian slowly opened the box.

"Wow, Master, there is really a pleading paper!" Feng Qingyu shouted excitedly, took the pleading paper first, and started to read it curiously.

"What is written on it?" Tang Chenyu asked eagerly.

Feng Qingyu read while watching: "Sue the Ministry of Officials, Liu Zhongcheng..."

He paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at Feng Qian: "Master, he is suing the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

When Feng Qian heard the name of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, she was also slightly taken aback. If the county magistrate's matter was just Liu Shangshu's dereliction of duty, it was still a trivial matter. If Shangshu Liu was the original sin, then the problem would be serious. It's starting to rot, not to mention the vines.

"Bring it to me to see."

Taking the pleading paper from Feng Qingyu, Feng Qian read it carefully, and found that the pleading paper listed more than a dozen crimes committed by Liu Shangshu, each of which was a case of corruption and bribery, and each case involved a lot of money , the largest one was a full 100 million taels of silver, which was bribed privately by an official of a government office who wanted to be promoted to a richer place.Just imagine that an official of a mere government office can actually have 100 million taels of silver to bribe higher-level officials. It is conceivable that this official of the government office is so corrupt that he can plunder so many people's fat and anointment. After going to the place, I don't know how much people's fat and people's anointing will be searched.Thinking of this, Feng Qian suddenly felt the blood rushing up in her brain, and she became angry.

"No reason!"

Tang Chenyu came over and also saw the contents of the pleading paper, frowned and said: "Master, is what said in this pleading paper true? Do you want someone to investigate secretly first? What if someone intentionally slanders the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

After Feng Qian calmed down, she also thought of this level. There was no signature on the pleadings, and the complainant reported anonymously. However, whether the matter is true can only be confirmed after further investigation, and one-sided words cannot be believed.

"Fengying!"

Following Feng Qian's call, the leader of Feng Ying who was hiding in the dark appeared, bowed and stood in front of her, waiting for her orders.

"Go and investigate Liu Zhongcheng to see if he has any evidence of corruption and bribery."

The leader of Fengying only nodded, without saying a word, and quietly disappeared in front of several people.

Feng Ying is the shadow guard left by Queen Yun Shu to Feng Qian, and also the shadow guard under the direct command of King Yan of all dynasties, and only obeys the orders of King Yan.

With their assistance and protection, Feng Qian was like a tiger with wings added. Looking at the direction outside the door, she thought about it: "I hope what is said in the pleadings is not true."

She was conflicted in her heart. She hoped that her report box would be effective, but she also hoped that the reported information would be false, because to move a minister of the official department would be like shaking the foundation of the entire official department, which would cause too much damage, but There is one belief in her heart that will not change, that is, when encountering corrupt officials, she must be dealt with severely and will never be tolerated!

This night, Feng Qian tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, she was waiting for news, and she wanted to confirm whether the news was true or not before going to court tomorrow morning.

However, after waiting until dawn, there was still no news of Fengying's arrival.

It stands to reason that Fengying's work efficiency has always been very high, and such a situation should not have happened. Could it be that something went wrong in the middle?

Aunt Qing He was still combing Feng Qian's hair, while Eunuch Du began to urge: "Your Majesty, it's time for the morning court."

Feng Qian turned her head and glanced outside the bedroom, but there was still no movement, so she sighed, so she got up, put on her dragon robe, and went to court.

In the court hall, the officials shouted long live.

Feng Qian's eyes were fixed on Liu Zhongcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so thoughtful that he forgot to let the ministers die.

The ministers hadn't heard her talk about being flat for a long time, and they continued to kneel there without daring to lift their heads. They secretly speculated in their hearts what happened to Her Majesty the Queen today, and felt that the atmosphere in the court today was not right.

In the end, it was Eunuch Du who reminded Feng Qian, and Feng Qian came back to her senses, and said lightly: "Ping Shen."

After the ministers got up, Feng Qian said unintentionally: "I have just been enthroned, and I don't know much about the situation of your dear friends. Today, taking advantage of the opportunity of the morning court, I want to get to know you more deeply, everyone. You can say whatever you want."

The ministers were a little surprised, but they also felt reasonable and didn't think much about it.

After Feng Qian's gaze swept around the hall, his eyes fell on Liu Zhongcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and said: "Because of the matter of Zhao Ting, the county magistrate, I have had contact with Shangshu Liu of the Ministry of Officials, but I I don’t know much about Liu Shangshu’s behavior and handling of affairs. If I ask Liu Shangshu directly, I’m worried that he is too humble and may not be able to fully appreciate his own advantages, so I would rather listen to other people’s opinions on Liu Shangshu... ..."

She casually pointed at Shangshu Hubu: "Shangshu Zhao, why don't we start with you?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird.

First, Liu Zhongcheng was called out suddenly, and Liu Zhongcheng's heart beat fast, and then Zhao Shangshu was called out suddenly, and Zhao Shangshu was even more embarrassed. He spoke for a long time, and finally said: "If you talk about the advantages of Liu Shangshu, I think Liu Shang Shu is an extremely frugal and simple person. Although he occupies a high position, he lives a frugal life and often uses his meager salary to help the people in need. He is a model for my officials."

Liu Zhongcheng answered quickly: "Where is it, Zhao Shangshu is too famous."

Feng Qian frowned sharply: "Frugal and simple?"

Zhao Shangshu thought she didn't believe her, so he continued: "My minister once visited Liu Shangshu's home. Outsiders can't imagine that Liu Shangshu, who is in a high position, lives in such a poor way, and only two maids are hired in the house. , Most of the things were done by Liu Shangshu himself, including the house he lived in, which can be said to be almost impoverished, not even a single thing of value."
