The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 178 Evidence in Hand

"We just said that we were with a friend to look for someone."

"We didn't mention the name of Wei An."

Wu Xian quickly replied.

"Okay, look at your bodies, the silver is not spent."

"Did you lose something?"

Duan Chun was too lazy to pay attention to them, and took the four people to the side room.

In just a short while of searching for people.

The four of them were caught, which shows how sharp the behind-the-scenes management of Huangjintai is!

"Nothing is lost."

"Brother's brocade box is all here."

Wu Zhicheng said, holding the wooden box.

"No, my sachet is gone."

"My sachet is gone too..."

"Ah, the sachet my mother made for me is gone too!"

After the three of them touched themselves, they were all panicked.

"Where is my sachet?"

Wu Zhicheng quickly touched his waist, where was the sachet on his belt?

But the waist badge and jade pendant were all there.

You know, these young men from the Duke's Mansion.

There are only three things that they always carry with them, even if they don't carry money.

Waist badge, jade pendant and sachet.

Waist badge is a token of their family background and identity.

Jade pendant is a symbol of status.

Sachet is a special existence that every nobleman of this era has.

Sachet is not a cloth bag for spices, but a small ball wrapped with gold or silver wire.

There are incense balls inside, and when you walk, you can see the incense balls in the sachet turning.

It will emit a strange fragrance continuously.

It is the incense ball made by my mother at home, and it is carried on her own baby son.

Duan Chun has a sachet made by his stepmother on his waist.

"Okay, don't look for it."

"Explain it to the aunts when you go back."

"Don't lie."

Duan Chun said lightly.

The four sachets must have been taken by the backstage of Huangjintai.

The other party is clearly carrying a warning.

It means telling yourself not to make trouble in the Golden Terrace, and to come and play.

He took the four people to a side room and ordered some wine and food at will under the service of the maids.

"My lords, are there any musicians and dancers you are familiar with?"

The maid asked respectfully.

"Well, we don't need these."

"Just drink and enjoy the dance."

Wu Xian said.

"My lords, come to the Golden Terrace."

"You can't just drink and enjoy the dance."

"How about this, I will arrange five ladies to serve wine for the five lords."

"The cost is about fifty taels of silver."

The maid said with a smile.

"This..."

Fang Anyu did not refuse, he knew that as long as he entered the Golden Terrace.

These are all must-order items.

"Okay, go and call the five ladies over."

Duan Chun nodded and said.

But he was secretly amazed in his heart, fifty taels of silver...

This is the silver money that ordinary people in Dakang can't earn in a year!

In the Golden Terrace, a hundred taels of silver are spent casually in one night.

It was too easy.

"Yes."

The maid bowed and turned away.

"Do you guys still have the energy now?"

Duan Chun joked with a smile.

"Brother, please don't laugh at us."

"Isn't it all these things when we enter the Golden Terrace?"

"There are many people who are even more excessive."

Wu Xian said.

"Okay, control yourself later."

"Don't make any more trouble."

"We are here to find someone today."

Duan Chun said speechlessly.

So far, the four guys have been trapped in the land of tenderness.

But the person he wanted to find has never appeared.

It's not their fault. Wei An, that kid, is probably having a good time.

When I think of Princess Li Yang's heroic and beautiful figure.

Thinking about Wei An again, I have to help Princess Li Yang with this matter.

But where should I find Wei An?

After a while, the maids brought wine and food.

The five people ate food and drank wine, enjoying the music and dance in the courtyard.

Watching the dancers being led away by the maids, new dancers came to replace them.

Duan Chun was completely speechless about this golden stage full of luxury.

The extravagant life of the high-ranking officials in ancient times had completely exceeded his imagination...

Soon, a figure flashed outside the door, and five beauties in cloaks walked into the wing room.

The moment they took off their cloaks, the four guys opened their mouths again.

Duan Chun was also shaken by what he saw...

Under the cloaks of the five women, they were wearing a thin veil.

The key is that there is nothing inside!

"The servants are here to serve the masters."

The five beauties stood in front of the crowd, showing their beautiful figures in front of them without any hesitation.

"Please sit down."

Duan Chun nodded, taking advantage of the moment when the five women walked towards the five people.

His eyes looked outside the gate and across the courtyard.

He noticed a two-story attic opposite to this courtyard.

There was a window that seemed to be always open.

Under the dim light inside, there seemed to be a person's eyes.

He was watching the room where Duan Chun was.

Someone was following him?

Duan Chun immediately became alert.

He guessed correctly, in the window on the second floor of the attic.

A painter was drawing the scene in the wing room on paper.

His eyes kept watching the five people's every move.

With a pen in his hand, he kept drawing the movement in the wing room on the rice paper...

Behind the painter, Situ Wenyuan stood there quietly.

Next to him stood a long-bearded scholar.

"Brother Meng, those five young men."

"The one in the middle is Duan Chun, the prince of the Duke of Changguo."

"The other four are all important generals under General Duan."

"Qu Heng, the prince of Shouhou, Wu Xian, the prince of Daihou."

"Fang Anyu, the prince of Chengenbo, Wu Zhicheng, the prince of Qing'anbo."

"The evidence of the four people enjoying the flowers and their sachets have been obtained."

"Now only the prince of Changguo is left."

"Once we get the evidence, Brother Meng will take it back to the Censorate."

"Use Brother Meng's methods to scare this prince."

"He will have to cry and beg us."

Situ Wenyuan handed the four sachets in his hand to the long-bearded man beside him.

This long-bearded man surnamed Meng is the Si Li Doctor Meng Bai of the Imperial Censorate of the Great Kang Empire!

The Imperial Censorate is the central administrative supervisory agency.

It is responsible for inspecting, impeaching officials, and rectifying discipline.

The Imperial Censorate has the Chief Censor and the Deputy Chief Censor, and is divided into three courts: the Tai, the Palace, and the Cha.

The Tai Court has nearly a thousand attendant censors, who are responsible for inspecting the central officials, participating in the trials of the Dali Temple and the trial of major cases handed over by the emperor.

The Palace Court has nearly a thousand attendant palace guards, who are responsible for inspecting the disrespectful behavior of officials in the palace that violates the court etiquette, and inspects the capital.

The Cha Court has nearly a thousand supervisory censors, who are responsible for inspecting the illegal behavior of local officials in prefectures and counties.

Meng Bai is the chief of the Palace Court of the Imperial Censorate, the Si Li Doctor, a fifth-rank official.

Never underestimate the official rank of the censor.

The so-called censors, they are not high-ranking officials, but they can manage everything!

If an official makes a mistake or fails to behave morally, they can submit an impeachment petition at any time.

Provoking the censor is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

No matter how high the title or how great the merit, Your Majesty must punish him to resolve the matter.

It is impossible to cover up this matter.

Unless the official impeached by the censor does not even take the emperor seriously.

Officials impeached by the censor dare not retaliate easily.

If a censor is retaliated against and killed, it will definitely leave a heavy mark in history books.

No one can hide it...
