He had naturally heard about the recent sharp rise in food prices in the capital. After all, the Jinyiwei under his command were not freeloaders.
But even so, there are still people who deliberately conceal it!
Looking at the evidence handed over by Xiao Fan, he already had an idea in his mind.
"You are such a disaster relief official! You have neglected your duty to such an extent. Do you know your crime?" The emperor's eyes fell on the disaster relief official, and his expression instantly turned cold.
Seeing this, the disaster relief official was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, I acknowledge my guilt!"
He didn't dare to play the victim anymore and immediately knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
Before he came here, Concubine Liu had already reminded him that there were certain things he should and should not say and he needed to think carefully about what he should and should not say.
But he never expected that Xiao Fan would actually bring the evidence directly!
If I still insist that I have not committed corruption at this moment, I am afraid I will lose my life!
It is precisely because of this that he dares not hide anything anymore.
Xiao Fan looked at the disaster relief officer with no expression in his heart.
In fact, Xiao Fan had already guessed this result.
Concubine Liu, you are so scheming and I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out that the person you hired to frame me is such a jerk?
At this moment, Xiao Fan truly felt that the characters in these novels seemed to have problems with their IQ.
Dealing with these people is simply a piece of cake!
The emperor looked at the disaster relief officer and his expression became increasingly ugly.
After a long moment, his gaze returned to Xiao Fan. "Xiao Fan, let me ask you, apart from this incident, do you have any other plans?"
The emperor asked directly. After all, Xiao Fan had just come in and said that they could confront each other directly.
Anyone can see how confident Xiao Fan is at this moment. He is so confident that the evidence in his hands is definitely more than what we see in front of us!
"If you have evidence, just go ahead and hand it all over!"
"yes!"
Xiao Fan naturally understood the emperor's intention. After bowing, he raised his head and spoke without hesitation, "I want to sue Concubine Liu!"
"Oh?" The emperor looked at Xiao Fan with no expression on his face.
When Xiao Fan said this, he was actually staring at the emperor, afraid that he might have said something wrong.
After all, everyone can see how much the emperor dotes on Concubine Liu!
If not, Concubine Liu would not be so arrogant!
In fact, it was precisely because Concubine Liu was favored, and because her adoptive father had resigned from office, that the officials in the court who had originally stood on the side of the Xiao family began to waver.
This can be seen from the memorial impeaching himself!
The more this happened, the more careful Xiao Fan had to be. Because if he took a wrong step, he would lose everything!
"Your Majesty, I encountered an incident today at the governor's office in the capital. Concubine Liu accused me of bullying and harassing a commoner. This is completely false and nonsense!"
"I have thoroughly investigated this matter. It was completely framed by Concubine Liu!"
When the emperor listened to Xiao Fan's words, his brows were furrowed. There was no expression on his face, but anyone could see that he was angry!
Concubine Liu was his most beloved concubine. If he didn't really like her, it would have been impossible for her to be promoted from a palace maid to a concubine in just half a year.
She can even be on equal footing with the queen in the harem.
"Mr. Xiao, be careful with your words!" The eunuch beside him couldn't help but speak while being frightened after hearing what Xiao Fan said.
He had received a lot of money from the Xiao family over the years, and now he was really worried that Xiao Fan would get himself into trouble out of impulse. If that happened, he would be doomed too!
Xiao Fan's face was full of determination.
At this moment, Concubine Liu was pressing him step by step, even wanting to shit on his head. If he continued to endure this kind of thing, he would not be Xiao Fan.
"Your Majesty, I have evidence that it was indeed Concubine Liu who framed me!"
"What evidence?"
After a long time, the emperor finally spoke.
After hearing what the emperor said, Xiao Fan no longer wasted time and took out the testimony from his arms.
This is the testimony of the two girls from Zuixianlou.
Xiao Fan was already prepared at that time. He knew that Concubine Liu would not let it go easily after breaking up with him, so he kept collecting evidence on his mobile phone.
In fact, even though the Liu family is now at the peak of its power with Concubine Liu, they still have to do some research if they want to compete with the Xiao family.
"The evidence is all here."
Eunuch Han didn't dare to waste time and quickly took the testimony and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please review it."
The emperor took the testimony with an expressionless face. When he saw the contents, he was horrified.
"Your Majesty, every word I said is true! If there is even a lie, may Chen Tian be struck by lightning!" Xiao Fan said earnestly.
As he said this, a chill rose in his heart.
Concubine Liu, since you want to fight me, let’s have a good fight!
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Xiao Fan, you go back first." The emperor was silent for a long time and finally spoke. Until this moment, no one could tell what he was thinking.
Xiao Fan didn't dare to waste time and quickly took his leave.
The emperor, sitting upright on the dragon throne, looked at Xiao Fan leaving, and the expression in his eyes became more and more complicated.
"What do you think about this matter?" He suddenly spoke after a long time.
When Eunuch Han heard the emperor's words, he suddenly became nervous.
The emperor suddenly spoke at this time, and the question was obviously asked to himself.
"Reporting to the emperor, I think what Master Xiao said makes sense. I..." Eunuch Han hesitated and finally could not say anything.
Seeing him like this, the emperor frowned and asked, "Why are you hesitating like this when I ask you something?"
Eunuch Han immediately knelt on the ground.
He had been by the emperor's side for so many years, so he naturally knew that what he hated most was deceiving his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates.
"Your Majesty, I think what Master Xiao said is true! The most important thing is that the Liu family has been acting quite arrogantly recently! Really..."
Eunuch Han spoke seriously.
Xiao Fan had already produced evidence before, so now he could only stand on Xiao Fan's side!
Hearing him say this, the emperor's expression seemed to calm down a little. "What's going on?"
"I have heard that Concubine Liu was colluding with the Liu family. The matter of Hetianhe Rice Shop submitted by Young Master Xiao is indeed the work that caused the death of the Liu family."
As Eunuch Han said this, the entire Yangxin Palace fell silent again at that moment.
"I understand." After a long time, the emperor finally spoke.
He knew that this old man, Eunuch Han, was very good at protecting himself and would definitely not express his true thoughts at this time.
What's more, as the emperor, he really shouldn't ask a eunuch about such matters.
