Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 432 Sending to Heavenly Prison (4)
Song Huaiqing was finally sent to Jing Zhaoyin's place for the crime of robbing civilian women. This was the first time Jing Zhaoyin received such a case. The defendant was actually the prime minister of the dynasty. How could he handle this case?
He had no choice but to take Song Huaiqing into custody first, and then quickly report the matter to the current Holy Majesty.

By the time His Majesty knew about this, Song Huaiqing had already been detained in a cell for a whole night.

After learning the cause and effect of the matter, the present sage invited Tang Mai into the palace as Tang Mai had expected, in order to avoid a greater impact.

However, Tang Mai did not expect that Hu Li would also choose to see the emperor at this time when the current emperor invited her.

Hu Li has already received a letter from Shan Jie agreeing to borrow grain. Shan Jie agrees to lend money, which means that most of his crisis has been resolved. As long as he passes the emperor's hurdle, he can slowly search for grain and increase the price of rice , recovered the loss.

Hu Li did not expect that Tang Mai would appear in the palace at this time.

The two met right outside the Imperial Study Room.

Tang Mai came one step earlier, just outside the imperial study room, while Hu Li just walked towards the imperial study room.

After Hu Li was surprised, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth. His mood improved after the crisis was resolved. He took out a folding fan from his waist, opened it with a bang, and walked towards Tang Mai.

Seeing Hu Li's unflattering face, Tang Mai frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yo, it's Mai'er." Hu Li said mockingly, "Why are you here? Could it be that your fiancé-in-law doesn't want you?"

Fiancée?

When Tang Mai heard these four words, a thought flashed in her mind, and when the thought settled down, she probably guessed why Hu Li came here.

If it was Hu Li before, he would definitely not mention Shan Jie, let alone let Tang Mai know that he has resolved the crisis.

However, these days, he has been oppressed by Tang Mai, and he is full of anger but unable to turn over when he is oppressed. After finally turning over, he naturally started to feel complacent, and couldn't help but groan.

Shan Jie...

While Hu Li smiled mockingly, Tang Mai gave him a smile back, "Thank you for reminding me."

As soon as Tang Mai said these words, Hu Li's smile froze on his face, and his eyes became gloomy.

He was indeed too complacent, otherwise he wouldn't have said this at this time. If it had been before, he would have taken advantage of Tang Mai's unpreparedness and hit Tang Mai hard in the back.

Outside the imperial study room, the wind was raging, and both of them were laughing, but the gusts of cold wind were even noticed by the guards guarding outside the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xuanhu's son, Princess Chengwang has an audience."

The chief eunuch's words were skillful, and as soon as these words came out, it indicated that Tang Mai's current identity was Cheng Wang's adopted daughter, not the eldest daughter of Song Chengxiang's family.

The two walked into the imperial study room, bowed to the emperor, and stood aside amidst the emperor's calm voice.

"Hu Shizi, I don't know why you asked to see me?" The old emperor's sharp eyes fell on Hu Li.

In fact, he already knew about Hu Li's coming, and even more, why Hu Li came here. It can be said that he deliberately invited Tang Mai in when Hu Li was begging to see him.

Perhaps, sometimes he is not stupid at all, but pretending to be stupid. A man who has been the emperor for so many years may be old, and this problem also appears, but there are some things that he has a clear grasp of.

"My majesty, I have already prepared all the food you want, and it will be put into the treasury in a few days to share your majesty's worries." When Hu Li said this, he glanced at Tang Mai and said deliberately, "This Among them is Shan Xiong's son, Shan Jie's contribution."

Hu Li thought that Tang Mai would be shocked and couldn't stand it, but all he saw was Tang Mai who was indifferent and unresponsive.

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Tang Mai when he heard the words, and said, "Princess Cheng, is that Shan Jie the one I gave you a marriage last time?"

"Exactly." Tang Mai stepped forward and said.

She never planned that Shan Jie would always be on her side, and she was already prepared for the possibility of Shan Jie rebelling again.

Now, she just wanted to know, did Shan Jie only give food, or did she already know that nearly [-]% of the food owned by Tianlong State was in her hands, or did she know these things and told Hu Li together.

If only food is given, then she still has many ways to kill Hu Li, if it is the latter, then she may have to make a new plan.

"Master Cheng, do you know why I asked you to come here this time?"

"My daughter doesn't know." Tang Mai nodded and said.

"You really don't know?" The old emperor asked with a drawn out voice.

Tang Mai was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, may I have a few words with you alone."

The old emperor was forcing her to express her opinion. The property she held in her hand must have attracted his attention.

"Hu Shizi, step back first." Seeing Tang Mai speak, the old emperor spoke to Hu Li.

Hu Li looked at Tang Mai suspiciously. He had fully seen Tang Mai's methods and talent in business. Now that the emperor left Tang Mai alone, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

However, the emperor opened his mouth. As a courtier, it is impossible for him to stay here.

In the imperial study room, only the emperor and Tang Mai were left.

The emperor looked at the little girl standing in front of the table and said, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

"Your Majesty, I think you already know that the servant girl holds nearly [-]% of the food in Tianlong Kingdom. Today, the servant girl came here and planned to give [-]% to your majesty."

The emperor laughed when he heard this, "You are a smart one."

"However, Your Majesty, my daughter has an unfeeling request." The old and foolish emperor was just pretending to be confused, and the imperial decree to let her return to the Song Mansion must have been calculated one step at a time.

"tell me the story."

"My daughter hopes that Your Majesty will stop interfering with my daughter's family affairs in the future." Tang Mai said these words under the risk of being beheaded. These words were nothing more than accusing the old emperor of meddling in his own business.

Sure enough, when the old emperor heard this, his eyes were slightly cold for a moment, but then he laughed loudly, "Okay. Sorry, you little girl can't find the palm of my hand, don't you just want to replace your elder sister Qin?" Are you angry with your mother? I agree!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then about my father..."

"Nowadays, the prime minister is robbing civilian girls in the street. I will demote her to a second-rank official and imprison her for half a month. Are you satisfied with this verdict?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Dealing with the emperor is not an easy task, and it is possible to offend Long Yan at any time and cause him to be decapitated.

When Tang Mai talked with the old emperor about some conditions that she had thought about long ago and walked out of the imperial study, there was no trace of nervousness or fear on her face, but no one knew that her back was almost soaked.
