Mad wife married: Lord, don't be arrogant!

Chapter 182 If I come in person, the grass people accuse

The information Chen Jing received was that Lu Jiashu and the others were still on their way, and it would take at least two days to reach the capital.

Little did they know that they had already arrived in the capital during the night when Xie Yu was looking for Xie Guogong, but the whole group of them broke up and entered the city quietly. Chen Jing was caught off guard.

Thinking of the things he was about to face, the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair felt that his head was two big.

It's hard to deal with just Chen Jing, not to mention Lu Jiashu, the Duke who has been out of court for a long time now also came out to join in the fun.

He really thinks that the emperor is very idle!

"There is a book to play, and there is nothing to retreat to the court!" Following the eunuch's sharp voice, the emperor's six gods returned to the cage, looked at the civil and military officials standing below, and remained silent.

"Old minister..." As soon as Xie Guogong stood up, Chen Jing's smile spread, but before he finished speaking, the eunuch outside shouted.

"Guard Gao is holding a golden waist card to see you—"

As soon as the voice sounded, a smile appeared on the emperor's face: "Hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

The gold waist card, as the name suggests, is a pure gold waist card, with the four characters "Ru Zhen coming in person" engraved on it. It is specially given by the emperor to the imperial envoys. How could it appear in the hands of the guard Gao?

Wait, guard Gao?Could it be the son of Grand Master Gao, the first-rank imperial guard Gao Lin with a sword?
Thinking of this, Chen Jing's entire face darkened. It turned out that the emperor was involved!

No wonder Chen Jing didn't see Gao Lin mentioned in Lu Jiashu's information along the way. Before that, he was still wondering if the information was wrong, so he dispatched all the elites in his hands without thinking.

As a result, almost none of the dead soldiers he trained with painstaking efforts came back alive, and the only one who came back alive died before seeing him before he had time to speak.

He thought it was Lu Jiashu's doing, and he was a little surprised, but now it seems that everything was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor!

Thinking of this, Chen Jing couldn't help but widen his eyes.It seems that the emperor began to doubt him, so he kept his guard up!Sensing that Chen Jing wanted to catch his gaze, the emperor didn't panic at all, but waved his hand with a smile: "Guard Gao is back, please!"

Xie Guogong originally wanted to impeach all the local officials in Yangzhou first, and then impeach the Lu family again.In this way, the emperor will inevitably appoint an imperial envoy to visit Yangzhou years ago.

He is old and obviously not the best candidate.When the time comes to recommend Chen Jing, half of the ministers in the court are under Chen Jing's command, so they will naturally stand up and support him.

But when did Guard Gao leave Kyoto with the gold medal?No one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty knew about it!Thinking about it carefully, Xie Guogong couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, secretly glad that he was interrupted before he could speak.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the emperor, he, his Duke's Mansion, and even the imperial concubine would be regarded as Chen Jing's accomplices!
Besides, until now, none of them knew why the emperor quietly sent Gao Lin out, and why he was holding the golden waist card.According to Xie Guogong's own deduction, it must be related to the Lu family in Yangzhou!

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, Xie Guogong retreated back to the rank of the minister without a trace.

Seeing Xie Guogong's behavior like this, Chen Jing was so angry that he wanted to die, and secretly cursed this old thing who was afraid of death!
But the emperor laughed inexplicably: "Did the old Duke have something important to announce just now?"

"The old minister has nothing to do." Xie Guogong didn't change his face and his heart didn't beat.

Seeing him like this, even the emperor was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.Since he got old, the Duke has become more and more aware of the principle of being wise and protecting his life, so he retired early and returned to his hometown, holding the title of Duke, but he didn't care much about the affairs of the court.

So even though he scolded himself bloody in front of civil and military officials a few years ago, the emperor was extraordinarily magnanimous towards him.

In just this moment, Gao Lin led Lu Jiashu and Gao Gaorui into the Golden Luan Hall.

As soon as he saw Lu Jiashu, Chen Jing narrowed his eyes.Unexpectedly, this kid's footsteps are so fast. From Yangzhou to Kyoto, the last time he walked by water for half a month, this time he finished the run in only five or six days. One can imagine how urgent the road is.

But no matter how urgent he was, it was useless. Chen Jing didn't believe that Lu Jiashu could discover the secret of Gongyan.

As long as Lu Jiashu sent some questionable salt, he would immediately bite back!
Thinking of this, Chen Jing calmed down.

"Gao Aiqing has worked hard on this trip, but have you gained something?" Although the emperor didn't show any expression on his face, the ministers all sensed the little bit of joy he showed, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, during this trip, I captured 17 corrupt officials headed by Wang Yanqing. The evidence of the crime is convincing. They all signed the statements and pressed their fingerprints."

As Gao Lin spoke, he handed Gao Gaorui's confession to the father-in-law beside him.

Although the emperor already knew what the confession would contain, he still read the confession carefully.Then Long Yan was furious on the spot, complaining: "There is such a thing! Local officials and bandits in Yangzhou have colluded with each other, and are even vaguely involved with Japanese pirates. Over the years, the search for people's fat and anointing has reached tens of millions of taels. It is really a shame to our dynasty ! Shame on me!"

As he said that, the emperor cast a sidelong glance at Chen Jing who was silent, and after a while, he ordered: "Bring me all the criminals! I want to interrogate myself!"

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar!

In-person trial!

what does this mean?
It means that today you can be convicted on the spot, or even executed on the spot!
This is something that has never happened since the founding of the country!
But it is just a city of Yangzhou, there are 17 corrupt officials, and even thousands of taels of silver have been corrupted, enough to feed their 100 million army for several years!

Thinking of this, the ministers who originally wanted to stop the emperor's personal trial all retreated.

The matter is too big, whoever stretches his neck will be knifed!

But at this moment, Lu Jiashu, who hadn't spoken since entering the palace, suddenly took a step forward, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, before meeting these criminal officials, the grass-roots have a small request, and please allow it." .”

Hearing this, the emperor squinted his eyes, and all the ministers present were sweating for Lu Jiashu.

It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and dares to pull the tiger's beard at this time!
"Let's hear it." At first, everyone thought the emperor would be angry, but they didn't expect the emperor to spit out these four words in a very peaceful manner, and immediately many people couldn't turn their heads.

Has their temperamental emperor changed his temper?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Jiashu was not polite at all, he didn't even kneel, he stood straight in front of the emperor, and said loudly: "Before I dragged these criminals to the capital, I used to imprison them in a prison car and parade through the streets of Yangzhou." However, please forgive me for this crime of rudeness first!"

Hearing this, the emperor laughed angrily: "You know it's a crime of rudeness, and you want me to forgive you for your innocence?"

"Because Caomin has more important things to say." Lu Jiashu still had a smile on his face, looking at the emperor sitting above him, showing no sign of fear at all.

"Okay, I'm sure, if you have anything more important to say, just say it."

As soon as these words came out, Manchu Wenwu was even more astonished.When did their emperor become so tolerant?

"The grassroots want to accuse Chen Jing, the current prime minister, of driving local officials to work for him!" As he spoke, Lu Jiashu pointed his hand at Chen Jing, who was standing there motionless!
