The concubine is so charming

Chapter 448 Isn't the method too low-level?
Chu Feiyan listened to the Seventh Prince's upright accusation with a smile on his lips, and after he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before speaking: "Is this the so-called evidence His Highness?"

"I know that based on Xu Qing alone, this evidence is indeed weak, but many officials have been completely silenced by you, and even their family members have been implicated. The prime minister has always been impeccable in his work. If not, it is impossible to deceive the emperor. For so many years," the Seventh Prince's eyes were pained, "Father, in front of you these years, Chu Feiyan deliberately pretended to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but in fact he continued to do evil in secret. Zheng Chao Gang."

The emperor said coldly: "Chu Feiyan, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, I have some questions, and I want to ask the Seventh Prince." Chu Feiyan looked as if he was asking for the Emperor's opinion, but before the Emperor agreed, he turned around and asked, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, as you Let's see, this Xu Qing was framed, that is to say, he is completely innocent?"

"Master Xu is an upright official. If you hadn't deliberately framed him, he would still be serving the emperor today."

"Your Highness, why do you want to avoid the important and focus on the minor? You say that he is an upright official, which means that you can guarantee him, proving that Xu Qing is innocent?" Chu Feiyan asked forcefully.

The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Master Xu is indeed innocent."

"Heh, I know a few people, they are all ordinary people, but coincidentally, they all have a beautiful daughter, and their daughter is not very old, thirteen or fourteen years old is in the prime of life."

Hearing Chu Feiyan's words, Xu Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled uncontrollably, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

The Seventh Prince heard impatiently: "What does Prime Minister Chu say these things for?"

Chu Feiyan looked at the Seventh Prince mockingly: "If you want to save Xu Qing, don't you want to find out what he has done in advance? I have killed a lot of officials, and I dare not say that every one of them committed a crime. The sin of death, there is one person among them, even if it is taken out, it is not an exaggeration to cut him into pieces, and this person is Xu Qing!"

The Seventh Prince's heart trembled, and a bad premonition rose.

Chu Feiyan continued: "Seventh prince, do you dare to meet those people I just mentioned?"

"For no reason, why should I see them?"

"Didn't you say that Xu Qing was innocent? The daughters of those people, the beautiful young girls of the cardamom years, were all folded into the hands of the innocent people you mentioned! To this day, I still remember when I saw those people, they Holding his daughter's spirit tablet in his hand, he accused Xu Qing of what he had done, and the voice was like crying blood, which made people shudder when they heard it."

Chu Feiyan looked at the seventh prince, his eyes were full of scrutiny: "Seventh prince, do you want to hear how Xu Qing tortured those innocent women?"

"Who knows if what you said is true or not?"

"Because the face of the court officials had to be considered, this case was not heard publicly. Xu Qing is worthy of being a minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he is familiar with all kinds of torture punishments. When those girls were found, they broke their arms. , It is good to have a broken leg, the most serious one, the skin and flesh of the body was cut off bit by bit, and the raw blood flowed out to death, and the other one had his tongue cut out, his limbs were broken off and put in a jar , I heard that Xu Qing wanted to see if he could really raise a human pig. I remember that the file recording this case was secretly sealed in the Ministry of Punishment. If His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is interested, you might as well go and have a look. "

Many officials who knew the inside story of the year showed disgusted expressions. This Xu Qing really deserved to be killed, and I don't know how he survived?
Sensing the gazes gathered around him, the Seventh Prince's heart sank, and he looked at Xu Qing in disbelief: He actually did these things?

Chu Feiyan said coldly: "Your Highness Seventh, according to the laws of my Da'an Dynasty, this Xu Qing is a person who must die. I don't know how you saved him?"

"It's not me who rescued you..." The Seventh Prince felt annoyed in his heart. Is this Xu Qing a complete liar?

Chu Feiyan glanced coldly at the direction of the Ministry of Punishment officials: "If this is the case, then I will ask the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. Xu Qing was originally detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment is in charge, and before going to the guillotine, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment have to check their identities routinely. What is the mistake in the link that allows a damned person to survive without a care? "

As soon as this remark came out, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment immediately fell to their knees: "Your minister is guilty, please punish me by the emperor."

Although they still don't know who is doing the tricks, but with Xu Qing, a real person, the Ministry of punishment can't get away with it.

The emperor's face turned blue. He had naturally heard about Xu Qing's case back then, and he was quite angry in his heart.It's just that he was seriously ill these days, and he only ordered the Seventh Prince to collect some evidence of Chu Feiyan, but he never expected that the Seventh Prince would find Xu Qing.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, you said just now that I framed Xu Qing for taking bribes. Do you know how much property he owns? How many concubines he has? How many things went out?"

"These... haven't had time to investigate in the future."

"This is ridiculous," Chu Feiyan laughed mockingly, "You dared to bring Xu Qing to confront me without finding out anything. Could it be that you think that the prime minister has no brains?"

Many officials secretly laughed in their hearts. It's not that Prime Minister Chu has no brains. It's clear that the Seventh Prince left his brains outside the door!
The Seventh Prince's face was ugly: "Even if there is a problem with Xu Qing's affairs, what about the bank under your name? Huitong Bank is spread all over the capital and all over the Da'an Dynasty, and there are countless daily transactions of money and money. Prime Minister Chu, how dare you say this? Isn't the bank under your name?"

"Those banks do belong to me." Chu Feiyan readily admitted.

The Seventh Prince came to his senses: "Officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit, but you openly run a bank and solicit money, this crime cannot allow you to shirk!"

"Isn't the Seventh Prince sick? How do you know so much about what happened in the past two years? First find Xu Qing, and then hold on to the bank?"

"Chu Xiangye doesn't need to talk about him, please explain the matter of the bank first."

"Huitong Bank is indeed mine, but what you said about enticing money and competing for profits with the people is too serious a crime, and I dare not admit the truth."

Without Chu Feiyan explaining himself, an official stepped forward:

"Your Highness Seventh Prince, Huitong Bank is different from other banks. People deposit money in the bank, which is beneficial to silver. Although it is small, it is a rare income for ordinary people. That's why Huitong Bank was able to save money in such a short period of time. Within a short period of time, it was opened throughout the Da'an Dynasty, and natural disasters continued in the past two years. The Huitong Bank of Chu Xiangye gave a lot of money to help the victims and the people. thanks."

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince wants to accuse Prime Minister Chu, so please provide solid evidence. Don't listen to some false rumors, and don't wantonly speculate."
