In fact, what Qi An wanted to say was that the vicious woman was in charge of the backyard, but he felt that the emperor was sitting next to him, so it was inappropriate for him to say so, so he changed his words.
Yang Wen cleared his throat when he heard this. "What do you do when you're on break or off duty?"
"Do you have to ask this?" Qi An looked at Yang Wen in confusion.
【Haha, it’s started. 】
"Tell me, tell me everything clearly."
Qi An nodded, looked at the torture instruments hanging on the wall, and said, "Then I told you, sir, you are not allowed to torture me."
Yang Wen: “…”
He is not the kind of person who can be forced to confess. As long as the confession is made, he will not use torture.
"No, tell me!"
Qi An was silent for a moment, then composed himself before saying, "I go to see my youngest son and his wife after my shift every day and play with the child. I'm not in the house during my days off."
"Wife and youngest son?" Yang Wen felt puzzled. Aren't his wife and son in jail?
[No wonder everyone says Minister Qi is stubborn. Fortunately, he's so stubborn that the Ministry of Revenue hasn't become a petty treasury for the Prince of Yueqing to make money.]
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he knew that Prince Yueqing had rebellious intentions, he could not touch Prince Yueqing.
When he inherited the throne, his father left him a will.
As long as Prince Yueqing does not commit any act of rebellion, he cannot be attacked. After all, he only has this one younger brother.
Prince Yueqing must also know about this will, otherwise he would not have resorted to such underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
Now we are just waiting for Prince Yueqing to lose his patience so that we can force him to actually commit a rebellion. Otherwise, with the emperor's last will in hand, it would not be wise to act rashly against him.
Qi An saw Yang Wen's confusion and hurried to explain.
"Your Majesty and my lord, please don't misunderstand me. I originally wanted to divorce the woman who beat me, and she agreed. She took the divorce letter to her parents' home, but for some reason, she came back after a while and even teamed up with this son in prison to throw dirty water on me."
Because of the dirty tricks between the two, he had a very difficult time during that period. Fortunately, he met his wife, who made him feel that there was still hope in life. Unfortunately, he handled the situation improperly, leaving her to live alone.
Seeing Yang Wen didn't say anything, Qi An thought he didn't believe it and continued:
"Your Majesty and the Lord must believe me. Everything I say is true. The accounts in the Ministry of Revenue often have errors. I will stay after the meeting to correct them. Then I have to accompany my wife and teach my son, so I have no time to take care of the backyard."
They made mistakes on purpose to make some money, but you corrected everything and still think they're taking revenge. Don't be so honest.
According to Luo'er, Qi'an performed his duties conscientiously, so there was no need for a retrial.
This person revealed all his secrets and really said what he thought.
The Emperor stood up and said, "Yang Wen, since Qi An has nothing to do with this matter, release him. Go and interrogate the other two. When the interrogation is over, post their signed confessions and make them public."
So that the people wouldn't say he is tyrannical without knowing the truth.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yang," Qi An was not happy when he heard that he could leave. He also fell to his knees on the ground.
The emperor and Yang Wen were stunned on their knees.
"What do you mean?"
Aren't you happy about being released?
[He's definitely not happy. The only person waiting for him outside is the King of Hell.]
[However, Minister Qi is so stubborn and easily offends others with his words. I wonder how he has survived until now?]
"Your Majesty, Lord Yang, please let me stay in the Sky Prison for now."
Qi An looked at the emperor and said, "To be honest, someone came to me before and said they could help me, but I fooled them. Now if I get out of the prison, I'm afraid I'll die."
Besides, he didn't want to implicate his wife and children, so he didn't expose them in the past few years because he hoped his son could grow up safely.
…
On the other hand, Chen Huai started to feel worried when he returned to his mansion after leaving the court.
His wife doesn't allow him to take a concubine, but he can't refuse the emperor's reward. How should he explain this to his wife?
"Dad, Mom, you guys didn't even call me for dinner."
A charming voice came from outside the door, and Shen Yu walked in wearing a plain dress.
Her appearance is not stunning, but she has fair skin and knows how to dress herself up, so she looks pretty and charming.
"Yu'er is here," Shen Huai pulled his thoughts back and looked at his daughter who came in with Madam Shen Du Lin, both with a doting look on their faces.
Shen Yu sat down on her own, "Dad and Mom, are you afraid that your daughter will disturb you? You have to leave your daughter aside even for a meal."
"You, you," Du Lin raised her hand and gently tapped her nose, "Don't take advantage of your father's pampering to tease your mother. You are not a child anymore."
Shen Huaixiao looked at the two of them and shook his head with a laugh.
"Yu'er is indeed a grown-up girl now."
Shen Yu raised his hand and took Du Lin's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dad and mother want to marry their daughter off quickly. Don't they want to see their daughter?"
When the family of three was having a great time, a maid hurriedly ran in at the door.
"Master, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Du Lin didn't notice the maid's abnormality and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
She stood up and said, "Just come in if you're out."
Chen Huai knew something bad was going to happen when the maid came in. He had wanted to wait until after dinner to tell Du Lin, but he never expected that someone from the palace would come so quickly.
"People in the palace?" Shen Yu blinked, "It's not a reward for Daddy, let's go out and take a look."
…
Eunuch Cao waited for a while before seeing three people coming out to greet him.
Du Lin noticed the woman standing behind Eunuch Cao at a glance. She had fair skin and a great figure, and looked to be in her twenties at most.
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Sir Shen is so negligent in accepting the emperor's reward?" Eunuch Cao stared at Shen Huai unhappily.
He was made to wait for so long, and he wanted to go back to watch Qi An being interrogated.
I didn't hear the whole thing last time, maybe the interrogation will be more interesting.
"I dare not."
"In that case, Qingrong will be yours from now on."
Qingrong walked forward obediently and bowed. When she raised her eyes, Du Lin noticed that she had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
Her eyes are so bright that no man can resist them, and she has a great figure.
Shen Yu was so angry that she wanted to step forward, but luckily Du Lin grabbed her.
She snorted coldly and cursed her in her heart as a vixen.
He wanted to destroy the lives of their family of three.
After Eunuch Cao left, Shen Yu was completely furious.
"Mom, this person is Foxy, why don't you let me tell you?"
She has been raised in pampered condition since she was a child. There is no one else in her father's backyard except her mother. Isn't she just being intentional and annoying now?
Du Lin's expression wasn't much better either. He glanced at Chen Huai and turned away.
Qingrong looked at her nose and her heart, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth without a trace.
She hasn't done anything yet, but the people in the Shen Mansion are really impatient.
