"I am here to arrest the traitors!"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors?"
Xiao Ruoyi looked at Xu Ke in confusion. Was there anything she didn't know?
After hearing this, the King of Jin also asked curiously, "Who is it? The traitor?"
"Wu Quanquan!"
King Jin and Xiao Ruoyi looked at each other. Wasn't this the name on the list? They were just about to put a bad luck charm on him!
"Tsk!" Prince Jin curled his lips. Why did it feel like he was already starting to get unlucky even before the unlucky talisman was even put on?
Xiao Ruoyi looked at Xu Ke with admiration, praising him repeatedly in her heart, "Wow! He is indeed a capable minister of the new country! He found out so quickly! According to the book, this guy got promoted by flattering the old prime minister! He even became the assistant minister of the Ministry of War and helped the rebels do a lot of things!"
Hearing Xiao Ruoyi's voice, King Jin clenched his fists, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this bastard would actually do such a treacherous thing!
No wonder Yiyi wanted to attack him when she saw the list just now.
...
...
It seems that this bastard really should pay the price!
But according to what Yiyi said, that bastard is not qualified enough to be turned against, right?
However, the King of Jin was still very curious and asked Xu Ke, "Why is he a traitor?"
"He accepted bribes and even bought his current position!"
Xu Ke already had charges against some people.
Now that Emperor Donglin was questioning him again, Xu Ke could be said to be "taking advantage of a feather as a token of authority" and immediately arrested Wu Quanquan, who had collected the most evidence, and put him in jail first.
And the crime is so serious that he will definitely be arrested and convicted.
King Jin frowned in disdain, "What a rubbish! Such a person should not continue to stay in the court of Donglin Kingdom!"
Xiao Ruoyi also nodded in agreement, [Right! It's garbage! The whole court is in chaos! It's a miracle that Donglin Kingdom is not destroyed! ]
When King Jin heard Xiao Ruoyi's voice, he was also extremely angry. The Kingdom of Donglin was destroyed because of these good-for-nothings!
"Yes, I didn't expect him to be so bold as to do such a thing, so I came here to arrest him personally!"
Xiao Ruoyi looked at Xu Ke with her big, sparkling eyes, "Then can Yiyi go and have a look too? I want to see the bad guys being caught!"
Xu Ke suddenly became a little panicked, "No, the little princess is too dangerous!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Yiyi will be watching from the side!" Xiao Ruoyi looked at Xu Ke expectantly, "Yiyi has never seen a bad guy being caught. I want to see it! Uncle Xu, can I?"
Xu Ke, who was called "Uncle Xu", suddenly felt as if his heart was hit by something, and his whole body felt numb.
Especially when the little princess called him uncle, Xu Ke felt like his life was about to end.
"Little princess, you can't do that! You can't do that!" Xu Ke was so scared that he quickly bowed, "Little princess, just call me by my name!"
Xiao Ruoyi's smart eyes flashed with a cunning light, "Hey, I can call you by your name, but I have to let Yiyi watch you catch the bad guys!"
"this……"
Xu Ke suddenly found it difficult to make a choice, and felt that he would be beheaded no matter which one he chose!
King Jin smiled and waved his hand to comfort Xu Ke, "It's okay, I'm here, I will protect her!"
"Yes, yes, the emperor's uncle is here! Don't worry, Uncle Xu! If you don't want Yi Yi to call you uncle, then ask Yi Yi to go see the idol!"
Xu Ke was extremely conflicted. He looked at Xiao Ruoyi, then at King Jin. After King Jin nodded in agreement, he finally nodded and said, "Okay! Then the little princess should stay away, so as not to hurt the little princess by mistake!"
"Okay! Don't worry! Yiyi is watching from a distance!"
So, Prince Jin held Xiao Ruoyi's hand and watched Xu Ke knock on the door of a private room.
Then, after the door of the box was opened, Xu Ke led his men in to catch someone, and a burst of shouting was heard from inside.
"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go! I am an official appointed by the imperial court! Xu Ke, how dare you arrest me! Do you know who I am?"
"No matter who you are, I'm going to catch you today!" Xu Ke sneered, "Besides, you are only a seventh-rank official, while I am a fifth-rank official!"
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Ke said this at the end, the captured Wu Quanquan lost his breath and looked listless.
In the past, because he relied on the appreciation of the old prime minister, he did not take Xu Ke seriously and often laughed at Xu Ke.
But now the old prime minister can hardly protect himself, how could he care about him?
So, Wu Quanquan felt that all the strength in his body was gone.
"take away!"
Seeing Wu Quanquan collapsed, Xu Ke waved his hand and gave an order, and the bailiffs from the Dali Temple lifted Wu Quanquan's arms and dragged him out of the box.
Wu Quanquan seemed to have come to his senses at this point, and he shouted, "Let me go, I'm still an official appointed by the court, Xu Ke, you can't do this to me!"
But Xu Ke simply ignored Wu Quanquan's shouting and threats, walked up to King Jin and the others, and bowed to them.
The purpose of seeing Wu Quanquan is to look at his face and see his future fortune, and whether his future destiny will change after being caught.
Sure enough, Wu Quanquan was filled with bad luck at this time. He knew that this guy had no chance of turning things around. He would either be imprisoned or exiled for the rest of his life. There was no chance for him to make waves again.
Seeing his fate, Xiao Ruoyi nodded in satisfaction, [Very good! There is no chance of recovery! ]
King Jin felt very good to receive the affirmation from his niece! He saved himself another bad luck charm!
Prince Jin patted Xu Ke on the shoulder and solemnly instructed, "Interrogate him carefully! Don't let my brother down!"
Xu Ke quickly bowed and saluted, "Yes, I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!" Then he looked at Xiao Ruoyi, "I will not live up to the little princess's trust either!"
Xiao Ruoyi smiled and waved her hands, and in a childish voice, she gave the good guy card again, "You are a good person, it is my duty to help you!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
Xu Ke smiled, not having any regrets about helping Xiao Ruoyi promote her deification later on.
Because of some manipulation, more people investigated and guessed that it was he who spread the news and it had nothing to do with Emperor Donglin.
This can be regarded as a way to repay the trust of Emperor Donglin and the little princess, and it is also a manifestation of his loyalty.
"Little princess, it's nothing. I will take you back for questioning!"
Xiao Ruoyi nodded and waved her hands, "Okay, okay, go ahead!"
Xu Ke bowed respectfully, then waved his hand and ordered the person to be taken away.
However, before he went downstairs, he passed by the box that Xiao Ruoyi had just broken into, and bumped into someone who was crawling out of it.
The moment they saw Xu Ke, they all exclaimed.
