He had been a coward all his life, and he finally stood up for himself this time, but ended up like this!
While An Hong was busy sighing and lamenting, the ministers on the other side were shocked:
How did she pull out such a big package from her arms?!
You can't tell from the outside!
The emperor was also shocked.
Zhiyu, how many surprises are there that he doesn’t know about?
"Censor Jiang, where did you get this thing from?"
Someone asked on behalf of the minister.
Jiang Zhiyu: "Yes, Minister, that's right. You only need to consider asking me where I got it from, but I need to consider much more..."
【It’s faster to solve problems by substituting formulas. 】
What???
what is she talking about???
The ministers looked at each other, and saw confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.
The emperor coughed lightly and asked, "Where did you get this pass and badge?"
Since the emperor had spoken, the ministers did not dare to ask any more questions and looked at An Hong.
An Hong seemed to have made a decision. He knelt down, his upper body pressed against the ground. "Your Majesty, I don't recognize that man, but from his tone, I can tell he's a eunuch in the palace."
Eunuch?
The emperor paused and had a guess in his mind.
He said coldly to Fu Ping who was standing beside him: "Call Chao En."
Xiao Yanli's fingers trembled slightly.
While waiting for someone, Jiang Zhiyu looked at the minister who had previously said there was no need to change the badge: "Master Sun, is it still necessary to change the badge now? Imagine that your enemy first sent someone to kill one of your servants, took his badge, and then replaced him and stood guard at your side."
"When Lord Sun got up to go to the bathroom, he opened his eyes and saw a man holding a knife, standing beside his bed, and then..."
"Tsk," Jiang Zhiyu shook his head. "Whether it works or not, I'm afraid Lord Sun will have to sleep with one eye open from now on."
Lord Sun: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Thinking about what she said, everyone felt a chill from head to toe.
Change! Change now, right now!
You also need to add portrait, name, date of birth, and place of birth!
The emperor glanced at everyone and laughed in his heart.
Soon, Chao En was brought up. He bowed and the emperor asked, "Take a look. Is this the man?"
Chao En vaguely realized what was happening and tilted his head slightly. An Hong raised his head and looked carefully: "Yes, it's this person!"
Everyone was surprised again.
The emperor had also valued Chao'en for a period of time. For someone like this who could stand by the emperor's side, the ministers would also devote some energy to remember him, especially the ministers who often went to the imperial study, all of whom had spoken to Chao'en.
Wu Li was just a commoner, so naturally he couldn't get to know someone like Chao En. The only one who could bribe him was...
Everyone had an answer in their hearts.
Chao En: “!!!”
What the hell is he talking about?!
Chao En knew An Hong and indeed bribed him, but the problem was that he sent his men there!
How could he do such a risky thing himself?
But he naturally didn't want more people to know about such a risky thing, so when the young eunuch came back to answer, he strangled the man to death and threw him into the pool.
Now that An Hong has pointed the finger at him, he doesn't even have anyone to take the blame for!
"Your Majesty, this man is absolutely talking nonsense! I have been staying in the palace and have never left the house. How could he have met me?!"
An Hong didn't care about anything. He was going to die anyway, so he might as well take someone with him to die with him so that he would have someone to accompany him on his journey to the underworld.
With this mentality, he bit Chao En tightly.
"You've never left the palace?"
The emperor asked softly.
Chao En nodded hurriedly, but saw the emperor throw something down the next second.
Chaoen's face suddenly turned pale.
"The people who went out to buy things reported to me today that last night a young eunuch said he had forgotten to buy something and hurried out of the palace, saying that he had your approval."
"It was before curfew, so the guards let him out, but when he came back, he had nothing."
"You haven't left the house, but your eunuch has. How about bringing him in for a face-to-face confrontation?"
Chao En was about to speak when the emperor added, "The guards remember the young eunuch's face. Think carefully before you reply."
Chao En: “…”
He took a deep breath, and it felt like thunder flashed above his head.
There is no such thing as a little eunuch!
The person he thought he could just get rid of turned out to be his life-saving straw. Unfortunately, he pulled it out by himself!
Chao En collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath: "Slave... I plead guilty."
Xiao Yanli clenched his hands instantly.
The emperor said coldly, "Since you have confessed your guilt, tell us who ordered you to do so, and you will be spared the pain of punishment."
Chao En had no loyalty to speak of, so he said directly, "Your Majesty, it's the Sixth Prince."
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Yanli again.
Xiao Yanli: "..."
【You really know how to pick people. 】
【It was too early to say that before.】
[Xiao Yanli is the one who has been backstabbing people all along.]
【whee.】
emperor:"……"
Others who could hear her inner voice: "..."
"What do you want to say?" The emperor looked at Xiao Yanli coldly.
Xiao Yanli fell to the ground, choking with sobs, "Father... Your son, your son is just angry."
"What are you so angry about?"
"Your Majesty, your father favors Censor Jiang, even more than you and me, the princes and princesses." Xiao Yanli looked at the emperor with red eyes, tears streaming down his face. "Your Majesty, I know that Censor Jiang is quite capable, and he is a blessing to me. But your Majesty, you are going too far!"
The emperor frowned slightly, and Jiang Zhiyu also looked at him suspiciously.
"First, when my son and my second brother were imprisoned, she humiliated me in every way. She also distorted the facts in a paper, saying that my son had insulted her in every way. She even made an exorbitant demand, demanding 1,200 taels of gold from me!"
"How could I possibly have gotten it? That's why I was so possessed..."
Hearing his words, the ministers couldn't help but show some sympathy in their eyes.
They had all heard of this matter, after all, it was the emperor himself who sent someone to ask for it.
One thousand two hundred taels of gold is indeed a huge ask.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
【Slander! He is slandering me! 】
[He runs a brothel and embezzles disaster relief supplies. He must have a beautiful woman at home. One thousand two hundred taels is clearly a drop in the bucket!]
[This is clearly a sign of weakness! Emperor, you can't fall for this at this time!]
emperor:"……"
He didn't know how much Xiao Yanli had, but one thousand two hundred taels should be a considerable sum for him.
However, wasn’t Xiao Yanli afraid of the little notebook in Jiang Zhiyu’s hand before?
Why don't you seem afraid at all now?
Has all the evidence been destroyed?
