This is a statue of a god!
Destroying statues is blasphemy! Punish them according to the law!
The person who framed the victim was eager to smash the door open. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The eldest princess and her husband, old man Jiang, felt their hearts were in their throats and were beating fast.
If something goes wrong, they are ready to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Although An Li and Ming Wenqing knew it in advance, they still couldn't help but feel nervous.
My palms are sweating a lot!
Emperor Yongwu stroked his beard, frowned and waved his hand.
Seeing that my nephew was so calm, I guessed that there was nothing evil inside.
There was nothing the ministers could do if they disagreed.
Jiang Yu asked the deacon to bring tools and knock on the bottom of the statue.
“Crack.”
It broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
A small dark hole was revealed.
Jiang Yu put his hand in and took the thing out.
Wrapped in a black cloth, he slowly opened it, revealing a scroll.
A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Dayong.
There is also an inscription on it, which reads, "I wish to use my thirty years of life to wish Dayong a thousand years of prosperity and a vast territory."
The one who wrote and stamped the document was Jiang Yu.
Emperor Yongwu's brows relaxed. "Good! Good! Good!"
I said "good" three times in a row and felt very good.
"How is this possible?!"
Some officials were shocked and incredulous. Although their voices were very low, everyone around them heard them.
All of a sudden, I realized there might be something fishy going on.
At this time, Jiang Yu knelt down!
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Jiang Yu was as gentle as jade, but his tone was full of coldness.
Some officials couldn't help but twitch their eyelids and couldn't suppress it.
Emperor Yongwu was delighted and helped Jiang Yu up: "Alright."
"I would like to sue Zhao Feifei, the director of the Ministry of Rites, for framing me."
"While I was away, they placed the evil spirit statue inside the divine statue. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and replaced it."
Jiang Yu said in a cold voice.
If it weren't for Xinbao, he would have been framed by Zhao Feifei and demoted.
Zhao Feifei knelt hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I did not. I have never been close to a statue of a deity."
Ming Wenyong and Li Yujiao were equally panicked, and sweat kept dripping down their foreheads in the slightly hot weather.
And this Zhao Feifei is from the old lady's family...
Emperor Yongwu arched his forehead, his expression dignified: "Lord Zhao, is this true?"
Zhao Feifei had never experienced such a grand scene before, and it was difficult for her to even see the emperor normally.
He insisted on his accusation and cried out, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. How could I do such a thing?"
"Your Majesty, I have witnesses and evidence." Jiang Yu's voice was gentle, and he already knew that he would not admit it.
"Bring it up."
A deacon stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, this is the person who witnessed Zhao Feifei releasing the evil spirit statue that day, and the evil spirit statue is also on this person." Jiang Yu said.
"Tell the truth, don't be afraid." He comforted the deacon in a soft voice.
The deacon's voice trembled slightly. "That day, Master Jiang was preparing for other things and couldn't leave, so he entrusted the statue to me for care."
"Master Zhao came over and spoke to me, and asked me to help him get something."
"The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I turned back halfway and happened to see Lord Zhao placing an evil spirit statue into the unfinished statue of a god."
"I was afraid of being silenced, so I hid and told Lord Jiang."
When Jiang Yu found out, he took advantage of the situation!
Replace the evil spirit statue with a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dayong, achieving two goals at once.
Zhao Feifei was frightened and felt dizzy. She kept looking in the direction of Ming Wenyong and Li Yujiao.
Look at each other beggingly!
But Ming Wenyong didn't look at him and pretended not to know him.
The deacon also took out the statue of the evil spirit and placed it on the ground.
He was tied with a red cloth and suppressed, looking eerie and ferocious.
There were words carved on the back of the evil spirit statue, but they were scratched more than a dozen times and could no longer be seen clearly.
Emperor Yongwu's eyes were filled with anger, his beard stiffening. "Lord Zhao, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao Feifei opened her mouth, but her tongue was dry and she couldn't say anything.
Fearing exposure and being betrayed, Ming Wenyong angrily said, "Your Majesty, such evil people should be immediately imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and executed by slow slicing."
He is really vicious. Zhao Feifei is his cousin.
However, he inadvertently moved his fingers, sending a misleading gesture to Zhao Feifei to rescue him.
The intention is not to give him away!
Emperor Yongwu glanced at him and said sternly, "Come here, take him away."
Immediately, four guards came up and took Zhao Feifei away.
Ming Wenyong and Li Yujiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they were just a little short of victory.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Yu and Dafang with deep disgust.
Almost there every time!
They haven't had a smooth life since that little thing was born!
After finding the real culprit behind the scenes, Emperor Yongwu said, "Reward!"
"Lord Jiang, for your patriotism and righteousness, is specially rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, two mansions, and one hundred bolts of cloth."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yu knelt down to express his gratitude.
Emperor Yongwu originally wanted to promote him to the third rank of Taichang Temple Minister, but when he saw that the Taichang Temple Minister was still alive.
I'll have to wait until next time.
After this matter was settled, Jiang Yu stayed.
Bring the deacon with you to patch up the hole in the statue of the deity.
The blessing festival lasts for three days, and we can’t let anything go wrong at this critical juncture.
The emperor and his ministers also returned to the palace and their residences first.
An Li was holding his sleeping daughter in his arms, feeling a little scared.
Fortunately nothing happened!
The city of Yongjing was extremely lively.
The streets were completely blocked by carriages returning home.
There were quite a few people walking, hurriedly slipping away through the sparse gaps in the road.
