"How could I remember such a trivial matter?"
Marquis Anle looked away guiltily, his face as red as the setting sun, his face full of anger.
"It doesn't matter if the Marquis doesn't remember. The indenture is always in the Marquis' mansion. Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to catch up with Minister He and ask him to remember to ask the Marquis of Anle to bring the list when he returns."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at Marquis Anle with sincere eyes and earnest tone, as if she was really giving him advice.
The emperor raised his eyebrows frivolously, and saw that Marquis Anle was secretly gritting his teeth, looking at Jiang Zhiyu with eyes as vicious as a jackal.
He coughed lightly and said, "I think Scholar Jiang's suggestion is quite reasonable. What do you think, Lord Marquis?"
Marquis Anle's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
What's the point of bringing him here? This person was not among them to begin with, so how can he be a replacement?
Wait, a replacement?!
Marquis Anle's eyes lit up slightly.
The face of the corpse has been destroyed by myself. When I get the list, I will tell him who he is, and that will be who he is!
"Your Majesty, I have no objection."
Marquis Anle concealed his guilty conscience and sneered.
[I've been waiting for you to say this!]
After the emperor sent his men out, Jiang Zhiyu slowly said, "My Lord, I also want to remind you of something."
Marquis Anle's heart skipped a beat.
"Their indentures required signatures and seals. Even though you cut his face, his hands are still there."
As soon as these words were spoken, Marquis Anle's expression suddenly became extremely stiff, and he almost blurted out to ask the emperor to call the person back.
Jiang Zhiyu chuckled.
Although it is not possible to use high technology for comparison now, it mainly relies on human eye recognition. Although the accuracy is not very high, it can basically meet the requirements.
【Just wait and see. 】
Xiao Lingyu looked at them with deep eyes.
Jiang Zhaorong also frowned slightly.
They are both on the side of the prince. Even though Zhiyu mentioned before that Marquis Anle would turn against him in the future, he hasn't turned against him yet, right?
What's more, Marquis Anle has taken good care of the prince. He and Lu Daizong have been friends since childhood. Logically, the prince should be very confident in Marquis Anle now.
But from what he had just seen, the Crown Prince not only had no intention of pleading for Marquis Anle, but was actually leaning towards Zhiyu's side...
Could it be that the prince is planning to abandon Marquis Anle and win over Zhiyu?
He stared at Xiao Lingyu, thoughtfully.
The emperor was thinking when he heard several complaining voices.
[So slow, are you waiting for a UFO to pick you up?]
Jiang Zhiyu had never knelt for such a long time since she came out of the book. She moved slightly.
[The Emperor had previously said to stand up, right? It shouldn't be too abrupt for me to stand up now, right?]
emperor:"……"
If you stand up now, Anle Hou will bite you like a mad dog.
The emperor thought about this and said softly, "It will take some time for Yan Ting to investigate. Zhiyu is still young, and it's not good for her health to kneel for so long. Stand up, Fuping, go get a chair."
???
Upon hearing this, all the ministers looked at the emperor as if they had seen a ghost.
Is this a long time? It's not even a quarter of an hour.
Besides, they remembered that when the second prince was about the same age, he wanted to become a monk, and you made him kneel for three days and three nights.
Why didn’t you say at that time that kneeling is bad for your health?
Besides, kneeling is bad for your health. Can't you just stand?
Aren't they all standing?!
Stop being so hypocritical!
The ministers looked at Jiang Zhiyu sitting on the chair, and a hint of envy flashed in their eyes. Then, they all cast puzzled looks at Jiang Zhaorong.
No one knows what this man was thinking, considering his daughter was so favored by the emperor. He insisted on protecting his adopted daughter, which made his wife so angry that she broke off all ties with him.
If it were a normal person, he would have beaten the adopted daughter to death long ago. If he really couldn't bear to let her go, he would have sent her far away.
Who would behave like Jiang Zhaorong? Not only did he get divorced and become the topic of conversation among the people, but he also cut off all ties with his own children.
Which of the children raised by the Xu family is not a dragon among men?
Jiang Zhaorong is probably the only person in history who has turned away such immense wealth.
I don’t know how someone with such vision could become the prime minister. If they were in his place, they could do it too!
Jiang Zhaorong, unaware that he was being criticized by his colleagues, had already begun looking for a new prince.
The prince abandoned Marquis Anle so quickly without caring about their old friendship. If something happened to him, he would probably end up like this. What's more, the emperor's current thoughts are really unpredictable.
The crown prince seemed to have fallen out of favor, but the emperor did not seem to favor the other princes.
No, I still lean towards the fifth prince. After all, the military merits of the Oirat were directly given to the fifth prince.
Could it be that His Majesty favors the Fifth Prince?
But he had just demoted the Fifth Prince's mother, and the Fifth Princess's marriage was truly shabby...
Jiang Zhaorong was really confused.
Another half hour passed before He Yanting and his men entered the hall.
The wife of Marquis Anle and Lu Yaozu were both dressed in white, their faces covered with tears.
He Yanting walked up to Fu Ping and handed the evidence in his hand to him. Anle Hou stared at him without blinking.
Fuping walked up to show the emperor a whole stack of papers.
The ministers all had doubts in their eyes. Before the emperor could ask, He Yanting spoke up, "Your Majesty, while at the Marquis of Anle's residence, we not only discovered the title deed to the casino, but we also uncovered the truth behind the case of the chief priest."
"Su Jijiu was framed by Marquis Anle. This is the evidence fabricated by Marquis Anle that he formed a clique for personal gain and secretly communicated with the enemy country!"
The emperor was reviewing the case one by one. He glanced at Jiang Zhiyu, who was sitting beside him. Jiang Zhiyu nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the loyal and good man that Anle Hou murdered was none other than Su Jijiu. When Su Jijiu was imprisoned, he refused to confess. Anle Hou was afraid that it would drag on, so he used the power of interrogation given to him by Your Majesty to carry out a private execution."
Jiang Zhiyu paused. "He even threatened Su Jijiu's family's lives to get him to sign the confession. Not only that, after Su Jijiu died unjustly in prison, he secretly sent people to massacre Su Jijiu's entire family to prevent future trouble."
Marquis Anle's hands began to tremble imperceptibly, and cold sweat soaked his back.
The emperor also finished reviewing the evidence and handed it to Fu Ping for the other ministers to circulate. Then, with his eyes slightly narrowed, he looked at Anle Hou and angrily scolded him, "You are full of lies!"
Marquis Anle trembled with fear.
The emperor sneered, "I remember you said before that Su Jijiu confessed his crime voluntarily. What a voluntary act! You even massacred his descendants, leaving no descendants of loyal and righteous people. How vicious!"
Marquis Anle's face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, previously, it was because I was eager to achieve merit and quick success that I thought of such a sinister method. I have realized my mistakes, but I will never commit such a heartless act as to massacre and destroy all loyal and righteous people!"
