Except for the Left Censor-in-Chief Guo Xiu, no one else knew that Nalan Mingzhu had been impeached.

The heavy memorial in Guo Xiu's hand was presented to Kangxi. After reading it expressionlessly, Kangxi calmly asked Nalan Mingzhu and the others what they thought about it.

He didn't even bother to show them his angry questioning.

How could the wise men in the court not understand this situation? The emperor knew everything about this matter from a long time ago!

How will Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu react?

Of course, I would kneel down and shout out my injustice.

Kangxi threw the stack of memorials containing evidence directly in front of the two men.

"Unjust?! Then tell me, the two of you, who recommended Etabu, Suncha, and Achuhun? During the New Year, people lined up outside the Nalan Mansion to give you gifts. Tell me you are wronged?"

Kangxi sneered,

"How much bribe did you take during the New Year? Thirty thousand taels? Fifty thousand taels? Or seventy-four thousand taels of silver?!"

When the last set of numbers came out, Nalan Mingzhu felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

Seventy-four thousand taels was exactly the same amount of silver he received during the Spring Festival.

The fact that the emperor could say it so openly meant that he had evidence of his taking bribes. How could he not be nervous?

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was just confused for a moment. Please spare my life!"

Nalan Mingzhu had cold sweat on his forehead and didn't bother to argue. He just kept begging for mercy.

Kangxi looked at the two men indifferently as they kowtowed and cried, and then ordered them to be taken to the Tianlao Prison. He ordered the Ministry of Justice to search the residences of the two men and to pronounce a verdict on them after finding out the evidence of their crimes of forming cliques for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery in recent years.
