Farmer's Girl Rebirth

Chapter 196

Concubine Rou has learned to behave well now.

In this matter, Murong Jue was obviously on the side of Su Chongdai, and he could be regarded as not offending either side, but to be fair, that's all.

At this time, if Xiao Wenyan is smarter, he should know what to do.

"The emperor forgives the crime. This matter is indeed an omission of the humble minister. It is the incompetence of the humble minister. Please punish the emperor."

Seeing Xiao Wenyan knelt down and begged for mercy, Concubine Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief, this person is not really so stupid as to be hopelessly stupid.

After all, between dereliction of duty and accepting bribes, killing people, the crime of the former is much lighter. Murong Jue will see Xiao Wenyan for the sake of the Xiao family and punish Xiao Wenyan lightly.

"Omissions? Such obvious things will be omissions. It seems that Mr. Xiao is really old and his old eyes are dim."

Murong Jue caressed the jade finger above his thumb, raised his head, and his eagle-like eyes fell on Xiao Wenyan's body, as if he wanted to pierce him completely.

Hearing Murongjue's reprimand, Xiao Wenyan was startled, bowed his head even lower, and asked tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is also getting old, and it is really not suitable to serve in front of the Emperor. I also ask the Emperor, Xu Chen, to return to his hometown so that he can take care of himself for the rest of his life."

Although Xiao Wenyan is in his prime, and this is a good time to worship officials and confer titles, but at this moment, he can no longer control so much. Naturally, it is more important to choose to stay alive between interests and life. Are you afraid that you will lose your own food and clothing?
Murong Jue smiled, but did not directly agree to Xiao Wenyan's request.

"What about this? It won't be too late to mention it after Xiao Aiqing settles this matter."

Su Chongdai walked up to Eunuch Cao, put the dossier back on the tray in Eunuch Cao's hand, and then sat back beside Xiao Junmo.

Seeing Su Chongdai's actions, Murong Jue raised his eyebrows.

"Xuanhe, you have nothing to say?"

"No, I'll let Uncle Luo talk about the rest of the matter. I just saw a few things that I didn't understand and asked this time. I don't understand anything about trial."

Su Chongdai glanced at the old man Luo who was kneeling on the ground. The other man lowered his head and twisted the front of his clothes tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to intervene.

When the old man Luo heard Su Chongdai let him speak, he glanced at her gratefully, but suddenly met Xiao Junmo's gaze, and lowered his head nervously, thinking in his heart: that The eyes of the man next to the female Bodhisattva are truly frightening.

"Old man Luo, I heard that you have evidence to prove that Xiao Wenyan was corrupt and accepted bribes, and took money from the noble gentry to frame your daughter?"

Murong Jue shifted his gaze to Old Man Luo.

Hearing Murong Jue calling him, the old man Luo felt excited, he hurriedly raised his head, staring at Murong Jue, with tears in his eyes, he seemed to be trembling because of being too excited, he couldn't even speak. I can't tell.

"Back... back..."

Before he could say a word, he heard Concubine Rou sternly reprimanded her.

"Bold, you dare to look at the Emperor in front of the Holy One, it's simply treason!"

The old man Luo trembled in fright, swallowed what he wanted to say, and prostrated himself on the ground so frightened that he couldn't utter a word.

Turning her head and glaring at Concubine Rou, Concubine Rou immediately fell silent after being stared at, not daring to say anything more.Only then did Murong Jue slow down his voice, and gave instructions to Old Man Luo.

"Just say what you have, and let's put aside these Lao Shizi's rules for the time being, it's fine."

Su Chongdai whispered a few words to the maid behind her, only to see that maid brought a cup of water and handed it to old man Luo, who drank it before replying.

"Returning to the emperor, six years ago, the grass people filed complaints everywhere. In order to seal the grass people's mouth, Xiao Wenyan thought of buying them with money. The money and bank notes he gave to the grass people were still with the grass people. No matter how hard it is these years, no matter how hard it is. Dare to move the slightest bit. Dare to ask, if Xiao Wenyan hadn't done anything wrong, how could he think of using money to buy the grassroots."

The old man Luo said so, and then took out a rag bag from his arms, which contained a few ingots of silver and a few old bank notes.

Seeing this, Eunuch Cao immediately took the things and handed them over.Murong Jue waved his hand and ordered someone to check the origin of the bank note.

"Your Majesty, this silver is indeed the official silver that was newly written six years ago. This old man Luo is just a commoner, and there is absolutely no way to get the official silver."

Eunuch Cao looked at the silver ingot, then said to Murong Jue.

Murong Jue took the silver ingot and nodded.

"That's right, this is indeed the official bank of the new book six years ago. The batch of official bank back then was missing a corner because of the template problem. I will not remember it wrong."

The people sent out also rushed back quickly. The bank notes were from Tongsheng Bank, and there were semicolons in Yuncheng, but a simple search revealed that these bank notes indeed belonged to Xiao Wenyan.That is to say, what the old man Luo said just now is almost inseparable.

Murongjue jumped up against the table, angrily glared at Xiao Wenyan who was kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly.

"Xiao Wenyan, what else do you want to say!"

Xiao Wenyan still wanted to refute, but it was a pity that Murongjue had already recognized what he had done, and didn't even bother to listen to excuses, so he immediately gave orders.

"Cao Yide, send someone to draw up an order to re-investigate the case. Temporarily put Xiao Wenyan in prison in Yuncheng, and wait for the trial after the truth is revealed."

With this order, it means that Xiao Wenyan will not be able to escape this time.

At this moment, everyone could see that Murong Jue was in a fit of anger, and everyone kept silent, for fear of offending the not-so-good-tempered king by saying one more word, so Chong Dai suddenly interjected.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Luo is young and promising, and his thinking is wise. He must be able to take up this position."

Murong Jue squinted over, then nodded.

"I will leave Luo Xiuyuan to you. Last time you did nothing in Qiushui Town, if you dare to make mistakes again this time, I will take care of it with you!"

Luo Xiuyuan hurriedly accepted the order.

Then Murong Jue sent everyone down, leaving Xiao Junmo alone to play chess with him.

Xiao Junmo was left behind by Murong Jue, and Su Chongdai had no choice but to go back by herself, but she didn't want to meet the person she least wanted to meet on the road.

Without even looking at Luo Xiuyuan who stood in front of her, Su Chongdai was about to go around him and leave, but Luo Xiuyuan stopped in front of her again with a cold face, saying bitterly.

"Su Niuniu, what have you done to hide from me like this?"

Su Zhongdai looked at Luo Xiuyuan's resentful expression, and couldn't help sneering.

"I won the opportunity for Luo Shilang to make up for his mistakes in front of the emperor. Instead of thanking me, Luo Shilang is still blocking me here. What is his intention?"
