Chapter 698 Lost

The next day, when Gu Nuannuan was still meeting with Zhou Yue, the atmosphere in the court was very bad.

Mu Chenning looked at Wen Ziteng coldly, and said flatly, "You mean, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou bullied your sister?"

Wen Ziteng always felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's tone, but he didn't think too much about it. He bent down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is not what I mean by humble ministers. It's just that Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou rely on their husband's family to bully the weak in the capital. This kind of thing must be severely punished, what does Master Li think?"

Mr. Li is Mr. Yushi.

Hearing Wen Ziteng's words, he smiled and stood up: "Your Majesty, the atmosphere of bullying the weak cannot be encouraged, but the old minister has never heard of Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou's bullying, but the old minister has heard it." There is a lot of news about Miss Wen bullying your daughter."

Wen Ziteng frowned: "Master Li is careful, my sister will never do such a thing! My sister is weak, I am afraid that some people deliberately spread rumors, Mr. Li is an official of the court, so we must treat it rationally."

Come on, isn't this just saying that Mr. Li is old and blind?
Master Li was not angry, and said flatly: "Master Wen asked me to comment on this matter by name, and I am just telling what I know. Master Li said that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Tian bullied the weak. Is there any evidence?"

Wen Ziteng glanced at Mr. Li, knowing that no matter what he said before, Mr. Li always agreed with him. What happened today?

Singing against yourself?

If he knew that he had taken the wrong medicine today, he would never have named Mr. Li to express his opinion!

But the matter has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and say: "What happened yesterday, you can find out after a random search."

Tian Fuzhou and Zhou Wan looked at each other, but neither spoke.

At the same time, they also gave their own people a look and stood still.

Although a little puzzled, these people still didn't come forward.

After all, the parties are not in a hurry!
"Master Chen, tell me what happened yesterday." Mu Chenning said lightly.

Mr. Chen is now Jing Zhaoyin.

But Master Chen came out and said slowly: "What happened yesterday is that Miss Wen took a fancy to a girl's jade hairpin and wanted to buy it with a lot of money."

"Business is a very common thing. What my sister did is not bullying." Wen Ziteng said immediately.

Mr. Chen took a leisurely look at Wen Ziteng, and said slowly: "Mr. Wen, don't worry, buying and selling is naturally not a big problem, but after the girl made an offer, Miss Wen seemed unable to afford it, so Miss Wen's servant girl coerced and lured her. I want that girl to take out the jade hairpin directly."

Wen Ziteng's face changed, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then I don't know, what is the price that girl offered?"

"10 taels of gold." Master Chen said unhurriedly.

"Haha!" Wen Ziteng let out a mocking smile, "It's just a jade hairpin that charges such a high price? Isn't this a low price?"

As he said that, Wen Ziteng immediately looked at Mu Chenning: "Your Majesty, this trend must not be encouraged. If everyone is like that girl, how will the common people buy and sell?"

"If everyone sits on the ground and raises prices, the common people will starve to death!"

"Master Wen." Master Chen frowned, and met Wen Ziteng's gaze, and said word by word, "Your words are different. First of all, this girl doesn't want to sell the jade hairpin on her head, but her sister forced her to buy it. , that girl asked a high price, but she wanted to tell Lingmei that she didn't want to sell it!"

"But Lingmei's servant girl is threatening, and even said that she wants to trouble her family."

"Hmph, if the family members of every adult threaten the common people like this, then who are we? As officials, we must consider the common people, instead of using our status to buy and sell by force!"

"Master Wen, sister Ling, you'd better teach me a lesson!"

"As for Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Zhou, they didn't insult Lingmei with a single word. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Please check it out!"

After speaking, Master Chen knelt down towards Mu Chenning: "Your Majesty, Master Wen's sister has done such a thing more than once, and there are still many people suing Master Wen's sister in Weichen. Every time when the trial was about to start, the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit, and this minister felt strange, so he secretly investigated and found out that it was someone close to Mr. Wen, who threatened and lured him!"

"You are talking nonsense!"

Wen Ziteng's expression changed, and he looked at Mr. Chen in disbelief. He didn't expect Mr. Chen to let him down in the Golden Luan Hall!
Taking a deep breath, Wen Ziteng lifted his robe and knelt down: "I beg the emperor to see clearly!"

Mu Chenning looked at Wen Ziteng and remained silent.

However, the adults on Wen Ziteng's side all knelt down and begged for mercy. They said that Wen Ziteng would not do this, but secretly they were satirizing Master Chen for framing Wen Ziteng.

"So, Master Chen deliberately framed Wen Aiqing?" Mu Chenning said lightly.

Master Chen didn't speak, nor did he show any signs of fear.

Wen Ziteng calmed down. Hearing Mu Chenning's words, his heart also settled down, and he said slowly, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here."

"Hehe." Mu Chenning chuckled twice, looked up at Tian Fuzhou and Zhou Wan, "Do Tian Qing's family and Zhou Qing's family have anything to say?"

Tian Fuzhou and Zhou Wan came out.

Tian Fuzhou smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, I see that it is not a misunderstanding. No one in the capital knows what Ms. Wen has done. Just because Mr. Wen is a celebrity in front of the Emperor, it can be said that he committed crimes."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wen is not innocent. After all, among the things Miss Wen did, Mr. Wen wiped her ass behind."

"As for my wife's matter, tsk."

"My wife really doesn't want to see Lingmei, so please don't keep coming in front of my wife, lest my children learn from Lingmei and lose face!"

"you!"

Wen Ziteng looked at Tian Fuzhou in shock.

He knew that Tian Fuzhou was a fool. He was still a tyrant in the capital at the beginning, but he became better a few years ago and became responsible.

It's just that he didn't expect that if he said these things so bluntly, wouldn't he be afraid of offending him?
Or, Tian Fuzhou didn't take himself seriously at all!

These second-generation officials really look down on their poor background.

But so what?
Now, the celebrity beside the emperor is him!
Thinking of this, a trace of disdain flashed in Wen Ziteng's eyes.

Zhou Wan cupped his hands, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my wife is weak-tempered, but she is not someone who can't fight back when hit or scolded."

Although Zhou Wan's words were much more tactful, he was also telling everyone that if Wen Ziyue hadn't taken the initiative to provoke, Yang Min would not have fought back.

Wen Ziteng was full of anger.

After today, he must make them look good!
How dare you arrange Yue'er like this!
Mu Chenning remained silent.

Zhou Wan glanced at Tian Fuzhou and smiled, obviously not taking this matter to heart.

Tian Fuzhou also raised his eyebrows. Mu Chenning already knew everything.

Therefore, Wen Ziteng, haha, self righteous.

"Master Chen, please stand up." Mu Chenning said lightly.

Master Chen hurriedly thanked him and stood up.

Wen Ziteng on the side was stunned, his heart beat rapidly, what does the emperor mean?
Could it be that you believed their words?
Thinking of this, Wen Ziteng was a little flustered.

"Wen Aiqing get up too." Mu Chenning spoke again, calming the panic in Wen Ziteng's heart.

"Uncle Wang and the others are back, and I'm going to restore their former identities." Instead of continuing this topic, Mu Chenning mentioned another matter.

Mu Chenning looked at the crowd and sighed, "It's my fault for them."

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Everyone bowed their heads.

Mu Chenning waved his hand and said slowly, "I don't know what you guys think about this?"

"Your Majesty, I have no objection!" Tian Fuzhou was the first to stand up, with a smile on his face, "If you use this to let them feel the sincerity of the Emperor, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"

"Weichen also thinks this move is very good, after all Xian Wang and others did not do anything wrong." Zhou Wan also echoed.

Everyone gasped, although the emperor issued an edict of guilt, but no one dared to say that the emperor was wrong in front of the emperor.

And what Zhou Wan meant was obviously saying that the emperor was wrong!
"Zhou Qing's family is right."

Mu Chenning heaved a long sigh: "In this way, there will be Lao Tian Aiqing and Zhou Aiqing promulgating this decree."

Seeing this, the father-in-law at the side quickly took down the imperial decree.

Zhou Wan nodded towards Tian Fuzhou, took the decree, and glanced at the contents inside, with some surprise in his eyes.

Tian Fuzhou directly pulled Zhou Wan to lead the order.

"So, step back, everyone."

Mu Chenning spoke lightly, and everyone saluted one after another. After seeing Mu Chenning leave, they got up.

Wen Ziteng walked past Zhou Wan and Tian Fuzhou, snorted coldly, and said in a strange way: "Master Tian and Master Zhou are really doing well today."

"Wen Ziteng, do you know what a saying says? What is it called? It's not that you don't report, it's not time yet."

Tian Fuzhou looked at Wen Ziteng slyly: "I don't bother to care about your sister bullying other people, but when she bullies my wife, do you think my family is a display?"

"Or, do you think I'm just a display?"

Wen Ziteng's face darkened: "Tian Fuzhou, you are too deceitful!"

"Too much deception?" Zhou Wan chuckled twice, and said slowly, "I should return those words to Mr. Wen. Although I, Zhou Wan, have no family background and come from a poor family, I can't allow some people to bully my wife!"

"Master Wen, you should discipline your younger sister well. If you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, even the emperor will not be able to protect you!"

With that said, Tian Fuzhou flicked his long sleeves and pulled Zhou Wan away.

Seeing this, Wen Ziteng's face turned red and white with anger.

The people on Wen Ziteng's side went over to comfort him.

"Master Wen, why should you be as knowledgeable as them? Now, the position of prime minister in the court has been vacant. I think the emperor should favor Lord Wen. When the time comes, Lord Wen, don't forget to support us!"

Wen Ziteng's face showed a look of pride, but his mouth was very modest: "Where is it, you adults are joking."

Lord Chen and Lord Li walked past Wen Ziteng, they looked at each other and smiled, Wen Ziteng's goal was about to fail!
