Chapter 58 It seems that you have betrayed my trust

The man spoke sincerely.

It seemed that he was considering Chu Chengye and Nanqi, but every word and sentence was directed at Cheng Yishou.

Chu Chengye was not a fool, how could he not understand such an obvious hint.

Before Chu Chengye opened his mouth to express his opinion, someone else echoed him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Cheng is so concerned about your every move, I'm afraid someone is behind the scenes to monitor your majesty." "

Besides, can Lord Cheng check the emperor's honor at will?"

"Isn't this the disrespect that Lord Cheng often talks about? Why doesn't Lord Cheng impeach himself?"

[This is purely looking for trouble. ]

Cheng Jin glanced at Chu Chengye who was sitting on the dragon chair.

[If this tyrant listens to these old guys, he will probably be dead soon. ]

[Without a single loyal minister around him, if he listens to the treacherous, Southern Qi will soon be destroyed. ]

The hundreds of officials in front of him were engaged in a war of words, all of them pointing their swords at Cheng Yishou, who was now enduring because of Cheng Jin's voice.

It was not easy to catch Cheng Yishou's fault, so he had to give him a good push and accuse him

of more crimes. Even if the emperor doesn't believe it, at least he has to add fuel to the fire and make the emperor and Cheng Yishou resent each other.

Who knew that from the moment they opened their mouths, Chu Chengye didn't show any anger on his face, and replied to Cheng Yishou gently.

"I know, thank you, Master Cheng."

Instead, when his eyes moved to them, he had a completely impatient look, as if they would be punished if they said one more word.

The people who impeached Cheng Yishou: "???"

What's going on?

This Cheng Yishou and the emperor have often angered the emperor. It's not just one or two days, but it's always like this.

The emperor has long been unwilling to tolerate it. They have seen all of this, so why is he so friendly with Cheng Yishou today?

But I still can't believe it.

The official who first impeached Cheng Yishou seemed unwilling to give up the fault of Cheng Yishou that he had finally found, and spoke again:

"Your Majesty, this Lord Cheng suddenly changed his personality. I'm afraid someone is behind him to gain the trust of the emperor."

"Your Majesty, think twice, don't trust Cheng Yishou's tricks."

After hearing this, Chu Chengye didn't want to listen anymore. He wanted to find an excuse to get rid of this noisy person, but before he opened his mouth, Cheng Yishou couldn't bear it anymore.

There is no need to endure it anymore.

Cheng Yishou raised the court board in his hand and saluted Chu Chengye who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then I'll speak directly."

Chu Chengye also guessed that Cheng Yishou would not just ask about the wound on his forehead. According to Cheng Yishou's previous temper, he would definitely find out a few people who were improper every time he went to court.

It is estimated that he has something to say today, but I don't know why he suddenly decided not to say it and changed the subject.

He nodded, wanting to hear who did what.

Seeing Chu Chengye nod, Cheng Yishou immediately stood up and spit out the words that he was going to swallow.

His words were sharp, and he didn't care about the face of the person in front of him at all, and directly attacked the person's heart.

"How could I only care about the emperor? I also care about you."

"Sir Zhao, you abused your power and bent the law. Your own relatives killed people and committed a serious crime. You should have been executed, but you bribed the officials to release your relatives innocently, causing people to die in vain."

"Sir Li, you sold salt privately and were extravagant. I don't need to tell you how much money this mansion has embezzled."

Cheng Yishou said it all in one breath. After he finished speaking, he completely ignored the adults whose pupils were shocked and reported to Chu Chengye on his own.

"What I said is true. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

After Cheng Yishou had explained their crimes in detail, Lord Zhao and Lord Li, who had just been impeaching Cheng Yishou, knelt on the ground and shouted that they were innocent.

Cheng Jin shouted in his heart:

[Dad, so cool.]

Cheng Yishou stroked his beard with a little pride.

"Lord Li, Lord Zhao, what do you think? Could it be that Master Cheng wronged you?"

Chu Chengye pretended to ask.

"Yes, yes, Cheng Yishou is just holding a grudge against us because we just said bad things about him, so he slandered us."

"We are all innocent, Your Majesty, don't listen to Cheng Yishou's one-sided words."

Chu Chengye didn't say anything immediately, neither believing nor disbelieving, his eyes just stared at the two people in front of him. The

cold pond-like eyes just looked at them undisguisedly.

Although Chen Lie and Li Ping said that they were wronged, they were actually panicked in their hearts, their hands were shaking constantly, but they pretended to be calm on the surface.

They really didn't expect that Cheng Yishou would not care about the feelings of his colleagues at all and wanted to kill them.

Now that things have come to this, they can only hope that Cheng Yishou has not found evidence yet.

They have been in the court for so many years, so naturally they have done everything cleanly, so that no one can find fault with them. Even if they do, there is no evidence.

As long as there is no evidence, they can still sue Cheng Yishou for false accusation.

Another comeback.

"Okay!" Chu Chengye waved his sleeves and said, "I believe you."

[Oh my god, Chu Chengye, you are a dead man, you believe everything others say? ]

[You don't have to be the emperor, just wash your hands and become a wronged soul in the underworld! ]

Cheng Jin heard Chu Chengye say this and stomped his feet in anger.

When Chen Lie and Li Ping heard Chu Chengye say this, their backs relaxed a little, and they knelt on the ground and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise."

Chu Chengye ignored them and only looked at Cheng Yishou.

"Taifu, I believe in you too."

[I will keep things even.]

Huh?

The two gentlemen looked at each other, not knowing what Chu Chengye meant.

Chu Chengye looked at the officials in the court and suddenly said, "It is really difficult for me to decide. In this case, all the officials are here to be witnesses to prove the innocence of these two gentlemen."

"Pass on my oral order. Now go to the Ministry of Justice to check the files to see if Lord Zhao has done such a thing of favoritism and fraud. Then go to Li's house to get the account book to see if Lord Li has embezzled."

"This is the most clear and fair, right?"

All the officials knelt down at the same time and shouted in unison.

"Our emperor is wise."

The Ministry of Justice has long been Chu Chengye's people. They are loyal and devoted. They only need to use the name of investigation to search out the people in Zhao's house and find out who is the official behind the fraud. By then, everything will be clear.

Besides, Lord Li’s crime of corruption, on the surface, it was said that he sent people to get evidence, but in fact, Chu Chengye sent people to mobilize the imperial guards to search the house in the name of searching for evidence.

Sure enough, when they came back to report, they found that everything was true.

When Zhenfu and the imperial guards coach Dong Peiqun brought the witnesses up, Lord Zhao and Lord Li gasped in the court.

Chu Chengye raised his eyebrows and chuckled in understanding, his tone full of danger.

"It seems that the two adults have betrayed my trust."
