Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 286 Who Gives You the Courage (1)

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was about to speak, when he saw the emperor's gaze sweeping over him like a torch, he finally lowered his head tremblingly, and did not dare to say more.

The hall also settled down in this strange atmosphere, the emperor scanned the crowd, suddenly slapped the imperial case hard, and shouted in a deep voice, "Wu Qing, come and tell me and the officials what you saw when you went to Yun County. heard!"

Gao Taifu and the Minister of Rites saw that the emperor's opening was a matter of Yun County, and their hearts immediately sank to the bottom of the valley.

A hint of viciousness flashed across Gao Taifu's face immediately, if the emperor really wanted to punish him, he would fight Wu Danqing to the death!
Seeing this, Wu Danqing immediately knelt down and said, "This time I went to Yun County, the drought was severe, the people's crops were not harvested, and the people everywhere were not talking, and the rations distributed by the local officials were only enough for the people to drink two or three times. A month's porridge! Later, I found out that the officials of Yun County not only embezzled the disaster funds, but also colluded with officials and businessmen to raise the price of rice, squeeze the hard-earned money of the people, and fill their own pockets!"

As soon as these words came out, the Palace of Qinzheng became noisy again.

"Yun county officials are so utterly devoid of conscience that they don't care about the lives of the common people?"

"These corrupt officials are really wolf-hearted!"

"Such a heinous act should be executed Ling Chi, and the nine clans should be exterminated!"

"..."

Wu Danqing turned a deaf ear to the officials' comments, and said, "At first, I thought that the disaster funds were divided up by the officials of Yun County. It wasn't until I found this account book from Duan Hong, the prime minister of Yixian County, that I found out that the officials of Yun County were corrupt. So the reason why you dare to be so unscrupulous is because you have the backing of important officials from the imperial court and become their accomplices!"

Gao Taifu and the Minister of Rites looked at the familiar accounts and immediately felt like they were on pins and needles, and the inside of the hall was like an explosion.
"No wonder those Yun County officials dare to be so blatant..."

"That's right, who is Hong Duan, he is the cousin of the Minister of Rites!"

"I said that at the beginning, he left his official position as a servant of the Ministry of Rites and went to Yi County to be a small county magistrate. I dare say he took a fancy to this piece of fat."

"Yeah, yeah, you guys don't know, this county magistrate of Yun county also has a lot to do with our grand master Gao!"

"how you said that?"

"It is rumored that Grand Master Gao has a concubine whom he loves in Yun County, and the concubine gave birth to a son and just married the daughter of the sheriff of Yun County!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Seeing the chaos and commotion in the hall, the emperor frowned even tighter. When Director Zhao, who was waiting by the side, saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said in a high-pitched voice, "Silence, silence!"

The hall fell silent again, and the emperor said gloomyly, "Lu Qing, read the accounts to all the ministers!"

Lu Boqi had to order to go out to Wu Danqing, and said in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly hand over the account books? Gao Taifu will definitely reveal the matter between you and the princess!"

Wu Danqing also replied in a low voice, "Is it true that, as the Princess said, I, Wu Danqing, recovered my memory just to climb her high branch?"

When Lu Boqi heard the words, he immediately understood that Wu Danqing, a dead scholar, must have been hit by Pei Yuzhe's provocative method, so that's fine, if Gao Taifu revealed Princess Pingning's personal affair in front of all the officials If he came out, Pei Yuzhang would be too hungry to walk around, and the emperor would definitely not agree to let this unfaithful woman marry Ning Yuyao.

As for Wu Danqing, he had to think of another way, but he wanted to see how the clever Pei Yuzhe could solve the dilemma on both sides!

Lu Boqi took the account, opened it for the first time, and immediately looked at Taifu Gao. All the officials followed his eyes and fell on the pale-faced Taifu. Lu Boqi then began to record the amount of official corruption recorded in the account. Read them out one by one.
