Especially those old men who had a conflict with Yang Tiejiang, they were so angry that they sat down on the stools, gasping for breath, and stroking their chests with their hands to catch their breath.
"You, you immoral kid, don't go too far..."
Yang Tiejiang looked at the old man who was pointing at him angrily and said with a disgusted look on his face: "What do you mean by immoral?"
"I'm not a thief, I'm just asking Your Majesty to give my daughter justice. How can that be considered immoral? Is it because you can't win an argument that I'm immoral?"
When Yang Tiejiang talked about the Jade King, several old men came to condemn and defend him. Of course, Yang Tiejiang started to criticize them. With his "eloquence", he made the old men so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and they almost fainted from anger.
"They say the king is at the top, and the people below are all his subordinates."
"The Emperor didn't say anything just now, but you guys are the only ones who can speak. You all rush to be in the spotlight. You are really shameless. You say I have no morals, but I think you are the ones who are truly immoral."
"You should be thankful that our emperor is a magnanimous and good-tempered monarch. Otherwise, you guys who disrespect the monarch like this would be killed with a single blow."
"you……"
"You what do you mean?"
Yang Tiejiang sat up cross-legged and looked at the old man who was pointing at him.
"Duke Yu, you're already quite old. I really don't like to talk about you, but if I don't, you won't understand anything." Yang Tiejiang said as he pulled out a notebook from his pocket. "This is what I heard about the rumors yesterday, so I had someone check it out overnight."
"Only now do I know that you, Duke Yu, have a very close relationship with Old Master Xu. Not only do you often visit Old Master Xu's courtyard, but you often stay there for most of the day. It really makes me wonder if you, Duke Yu, followed Old Master Xu and committed such a cruel act together..."
What?
Duke Yu has a close personal relationship with Old Master Xu?
Why haven’t I heard of this?
Many people looked at Duke Yu.
Duke Yu was stunned.
Then he realized what was going on and stood up angrily: "You're talking nonsense! When did I become close to Old Master Xu? I've only been there once or twice before, but that was just to play chess..."
"Once or twice?"
"But the investigation results clearly state that you've only been to the Xu family three times in the past six months, each time for most of the day, and no one knows what you did in Old Master Xu's yard."
Duke Yu's expression froze slightly.
He had indeed been there three times, but they were definitely there to play chess. After all, he was already old and no longer had any need for that, and Old Master Xu would never show that kind of thing in front of him.
But after Yang Tiejiang said this, Duke Yu was in trouble.
After all, the matter of Old Master Xu had just come to light not long ago, and anyone who got involved would get into trouble.
Duke Yu wanted to speak.
Yang Tiejiang continued, "Even if you really go play chess."
"But everyone knows that Old Master Xu has always said to others that he is seriously ill. Even the old lady at home cannot go to his courtyard to disturb him. But you can go every time and stay for such a long time. This can only mean that you knew from the beginning that Old Master Xu was in good health."
"Old Master Xu is fine, but he's been pretending to be sick. Doesn't Duke Yu suspect anything? Or maybe... Duke Yu, you already knew about it and have been hiding it for him."
When Duke Yu heard what Yang Tiejiang said, he almost jumped up in anger.
"you……"
"Don't keep saying that. Am I wrong? I'm not the only one who can find out about this. Anyone who's interested can find out that you went to the Xu family."
"If you think I've framed you, then please have someone investigate. Besides, don't you scholars always say, 'He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black.'"
"So even if you really don't know about Old Master Xu's dirty deeds, you are still completely in the dark..."
Yang Tiejiang did not give Duke Yu a chance to speak openly. He talked a lot and made a very logical statement, which made Duke Yu so angry that he almost fainted.
And at this time.
Old Master Bai, who was sitting to the right of Emperor Wenyuan, stroked his beard and said, "What the Marquis of Zhenbei said makes a lot of sense."
"Although I do trust Duke Yu's character, what the Marquis of Zhenbei said does make sense. We can have someone investigate this matter carefully later, and then the truth will be revealed!"
"By the way, is what the Marquis just said about His Royal Highness the Jade Prince true? Do you have any evidence?" asked Mr. Bai.
"some."
As Yang Tiejiang spoke, he hurriedly rummaged through his pockets and pulled out another memorial. "I originally wanted to explain the whole story first and then ask His Majesty to make a decision. But as soon as I opened my mouth, Duke Yu and the others started scolding me."
As Yang Tiejiang spoke, he stood up, ran to Emperor Wenyuan, and handed him the memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
"Oh, and this..." Yang Tiejiang rummaged through his arms again and took out several pieces of paper, some of which were wrinkled. He smoothed them out and put the paper on the table again.
Then he put the notebook he had just written on top of it. "Your Majesty, I just had someone investigate this last night. It was a bit hasty, so it's not organized very well yet. But I can guarantee with my life that these things are absolutely true. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare come to you, Your Majesty, to complain to His Royal Highness the Jade Prince."
Emperor Wenyuan was actually not in a good mood.
After all, a good meeting was disrupted by that reckless man Yang Tiejiang, and he even complained to his son in public. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
However, Yang Tiejiang kept praising him, which made it difficult for Emperor Wenyuan to scold him directly, otherwise it would seem that he was narrow-minded.
Of course, the most important reason is that the eunuch who brought Yang Tiejiang to the Hall of Supreme Harmony was close to Empress Dowager Bai.
Empress Dowager Bai rarely interfered in the affairs of the previous dynasty.
Today, she asked the eunuch beside her to bring Yang Tiejiang directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Doesn't this mean that Empress Dowager Bai wants Emperor Wenyuan to give her face and let him do justice to Yang Tiejiang?
Emperor Wenyuan looked at the thing on the table, frowned, but still picked it up and took a look.
When he saw this, his face darkened.
The more he looked at her, the uglier her expression became. Especially when he saw those pieces of paper, his face darkened immediately. "Li Qing, have someone go and get the queen."
"yes."
Eunuch Li immediately went out to make arrangements.
By the time Empress Xu arrived, half an hour had passed.
Several trembling figures were already kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including the eunuch who had been sent to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion that day...
