Chapter 209 Mutual Impeachment



It is obvious that Cui Wenhong is not welcome here.

Chu Mobai also saw Cui Wenhong walk directly into Liu Dingguo's "private office" and looked at Qian Ruoyu with some surprise.

What exactly does this woman want to do?

Cui Wenhong was actually allowed to come.

He narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion.

"What did you do?"

Qian Ruoyu smiled and shrugged.

"What did I do? I didn't do anything. You said I was just a woman. How could a woman understand the affairs of the court? Besides, she is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Well, this matter has nothing to do with me."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Chu Mobai was speechless.

What the woman said made sense. Although this matter was related to her, there was no key evidence.

But at this time, Cui Wenhong's voice was heard from the room.

"Where is Lord Liu? Where is Lord Liu?"

A chief replied, "Master Liu...Master Liu is temporarily out on errands."

Cui Wenhong chuckled.

He didn't believe what the person in charge said at all. He had already received the intelligence from Zhang Kai before this.

I have to make fun of him today no matter what!

"He's out on some errand, right? If so, what errand did he go on? Can you tell me?"

Cui Wenhong looked at the person in charge who answered and said coldly.

"So, what did Lord Liu Dingguo do when he went out? You know, right? Then, could you please tell me what Lord Liu did when he went out? I want to fulfill my duties as the Imperial Censor."

"If you can't answer, I will have no choice but to report to His Majesty that you have deceived me, which is also deceiving His Majesty!"

After hearing what he said, the person who answered was instantly shocked. He never thought that just saying such a sentence would make him tremble so much.

Therefore, the person who gave the answer was speechless for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head to deny it.

"No, no, no... This... I don't know where Lord Liu is... I just answered casually just now... Just answered casually... Lord Liu may be out on business, or he may not be!"

Hearing his words, Qian Ruoyu almost laughed out loud, but she also knew that these were all within Cui Wenhong's responsibilities.

And it can be seen that although Cui Wenhong's official rank is not high, he can obviously intimidate those people in the Ministry of War.

Even if you hate him, there is no way to drive him out.

Cui Wenhong then looked at the other officials around him.

"What about you? Do you know where Lord Liu has gone? You all work for the same government office. You don't even know where Lord Liu has gone, do you? Are you dereliction of duty?"

Cui Wenhong then turned his attention to other officials.

The other officials were all startled, and several officials in the corner returned to their rooms or left the corridor. They didn't want to stay here any longer.

If you stay here or help Liu Dingguo speak up, you will most likely be targeted by Cui Wenhong.

In the court, he would rather offend other people than offend the Chief Censor.

No one can control the mouths of the Censors, and the contents of the memorials submitted by the Censors will be directly transmitted to His Majesty's Imperial Library. Naturally, no one dares to offend them.

This is also the reason why Cui Wenhong dared to speak like this in the Ministry of War.

After all, Cui Wenhong himself did not make any mistakes. He came to the Ministry of War to do his job.

The other officials around him were speechless.

"It seems that no one knows where Lord Liu has gone. This means that Lord Liu is derelict in his duty, right?"

But at this moment, a man who looked to be in his forties came hurriedly from the backyard of the Ministry of War. He was wearing a messy official robe.

"Who is looking for me?"

The person who came was Liu Dingguo.

Long before this, Liu Dingguo was already in the Ministry of War, but he ran to the backyard before Chu Mobai arrived, in order to avoid any direct contact with Chu Mobai.

No one knew why he deliberately avoided meeting Chu Mobai, but he still hid in the backyard and drank tea with other idle officials.

Now, when he suddenly heard that the Chief Censor was coming to see him, he was completely shocked. He quickly put on his official robe and came to the hall.

After arriving at the hall, he indeed saw Cui Wenhong, so he spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"Master Cui!"

"What are you doing in the Ministry of War? It's a busy time for the Ministry of War. Are you coming here to cause trouble?"

Before Cui Wenhong even published his article, he had already put a label on Cui Wenhong and accused him of a crime.

But Cui Wenhong is even less afraid of these.

After all, Qian Ruoyu had revealed information before, so he still spoke in a calm manner.

"Hey, Master Liu, I've been here for such a long time, but I just saw you running towards me from behind, and your official uniform is so untidy. Where's your official hat? Where's your jade belt?"

"According to the court law, officials of the third rank and above are granted jade belts. When on duty, they must wear their official robes and jade belts, and also wear their official hats. Sir Liu, where are your official hats and jade belts?"

After hearing this, Liu Dingguo realized that he was not wearing a crown or a hat, and even the jade belt around his waist was not worn properly.

At this moment, a Sima from the Ministry of War came running over from behind.

What he held in his hands was Liu Dingguo's official hat and jade belt.

"Master Liu, Master Liu, I forgot to take your things from the backyard."

Liu Dingguo then hurriedly took the official hat and jade belt in his hands and began to put them on in front of everyone.

Cui Wenhong just sneered.

Only after he had put on his clothes did he speak to Cui Wenhong in a hurry.

"Ahem, I just... I forgot all these things because I came here in a hurry. Can these be used as your excuses?"

Cui Wenhong sneered again.

"Whether it is my reason or not is not up to me. I am only acting on your majesty's behalf to supervise all officials. In this case, let me ask you a question. What did Lord Liu do in the backyard just now? Did he go to rest? As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any important organization in the backyard of the Ministry of War?"

When asked this question, Liu Dingguo became panicked and couldn't even remember what to do in the backyard.

After all, he was deliberately hiding in the back, so how could he guess what he was doing?

But if he cannot answer it at this time, it will give Cui Wenhong something to write about.

Finally Liu Dingguo spoke.

"This... I'm going to the backyard for a while. Is there anything wrong with that? Are you not going to allow me to leave my seat?"

"Sir Cui, you didn't come to the Ministry of War just to cause trouble, did you? If that's the case, I will impeach you!"

Cui Wenhong said indifferently: "Then let's impeach each other."
