Chapter 249: Take
Action Two figures walked in from outside the main hall.
One was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with peach blossom eyes and bright eyes, showing his noble appearance.
The other was dressed in navy blue robes, with a cold temperament and steady steps.
Although the two princes had their own merits, they were both handsome.
After seeing Ling Changyu, Concubine Hui almost stood up from her chair in excitement.
Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally fell to the ground completely.
Her son was fine!
The third prince quickened his pace, walked in front, and took the lead in saluting and said, "Greetings to my brother, and to my uncle!"
Ling Changyue didn't know where the third prince had been during this period.
He had been away from the imperial city for several months, and after returning, he looked high-spirited, as if he had done something extraordinary.
Ling Changyue nodded slightly, raised his chin slightly, and sat on the dragon throne with full dignity as an emperor.
"Third brother, how long have you been back?"
Ling Changyu immediately replied: "My dear brother, I just came back last night. I took a short rest and caught some sleep, then changed my clothes and came here immediately."
Ling Changyue was full of suspicion.
He almost subconsciously looked in the direction of Ling Fengxun.
Everything the third prince did outside was arranged by Ling Fengxun. It was absolutely impossible for him to say that he didn't know where he was going.
He was also very curious.
"Where did you go when you left the capital a few months ago?"
Hearing his brother's question, the third prince immediately perked up.
"Reporting to the emperor, I did follow the orders of the emperor's uncle to investigate several major cases. This is the evidence I brought back. Please take a look!"
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms.
Eunuch Xu on the side immediately took the initiative to step forward and handed the booklet to Ling Changyue.
Ling Changyue's eyes flashed with doubt. It was too obvious that Ling Changyu couldn't wait to ask for his achievements in front of everyone during the New Year.
He flipped through the booklet.
There was a list in it.
It recorded in detail some of the crimes committed by the owners of these names in Linjiang.
For example, secretly using the Linjiang wharf to sell contraband salt and stealing military rations in the city.
These crimes, taken out individually, are all serious crimes that will lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan!
Ling Changyue stared at those names, but his heart skipped a beat, and there were some strange emotions in his eyes.
Looking at the third prince who was still secretly happy because of his achievements, Ling Changyue put down the list and suddenly looked at several court officials below.
"Lord Zhao, Lord Zhang, both of you come out and explain to me, are these things reported by the third prince true?"
Ling Changyue directly slammed the list on the table in front of everyone.
The two looked up at the emperor with a blank look on their faces, and after looking at each other, they immediately stood up in a panic, walked out of their seats, and knelt in the hall.
They already had a bad premonition in their hearts.
After seeing the two people walk out, Concubine Hui's eyes widened suddenly.
These two people are from her and Old Lady Du's family.
Although they are not direct relatives, they have inseparable and complicated in-law relationships.
Although these two people are not in very high positions, they both occupy lucrative positions in Linjiang. If they can make a little money from them on weekdays, they can make a lot of money.
They all thought that the emperor was far away, and no matter how free they were in the capital, they would not care about the livelihood of a small place. They had secretly gained a lot of benefits from it over the years.
But now, these two people were investigated.
Not only were they investigated, but the person who investigated them was the third prince
. Concubine Hui felt her head buzzing, and looked at her son with a little shock. If you count it, the third prince has to call these two uncles.
The little eunuch picked up the book and read the contents in front of everyone.
After reading it, the two people kneeling below were instantly soaked in sweat.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. It must have been done by those disobedient people under my command. I will investigate it carefully when I return and give you an explanation!"
Lord Li's forehead was sweating and his words were stumbling.
Ling Changyue was not a fool either. He said calmly, "Your subordinates also sent money to Lord Li's home. This is really a good thing."
The book even calculated the daily expenses of Lord Li's family.
His salary and the income of the shop under his name definitely did not match the accounts on the surface.
The third prince was really clear about his work and checked the assets of these two masters thoroughly.
"Come here!"
Ling Changyue glanced to the side and glanced at Ling Fengxun, who had not said anything but just sat back in his chair to watch the show. He already knew what the other party wanted.
"Suppress them and wait for punishment!"
Seeing that her two brothers-in-law were about to be taken away by the guards at the door, Concubine Hui stood up quickly.
An Yunxi was sitting next to Concubine Hui. Seeing that she was so impatient, she kindly reminded her: "Concubine, the two adults have done something wrong and violated the laws of the court. Even if you ask for mercy, the emperor will not let them go, so it is better not to waste your energy."
When Concubine Hui heard An Yunxi's voice, she felt cold all over and her back was chilled.
The Regent King took action!
He had known for a long time that the person who assassinated An Yunxi was sent by her!
It was only because there was no evidence that they did not take direct action.
Concubine Hui, who had guessed the truth, had goosebumps all over her body and felt terrified.
While she was stunned, she had already heard the screams of her two brothers-in-
law after they were dragged out. "Unjust, I am wronged, please Your Majesty, please investigate"
The voice echoed in her ears.
Concubine Hui reluctantly turned her head and responded to An Yunxi: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here."
An Yunxi smiled lightly, "The evidence is already confirmed, how can there be any misunderstanding? The third prince killed his relatives for the sake of justice. He is really a pillar of the court and will have a bright future."
Concubine Hui's mouth twitched slightly.
So cruel.
Although the third prince was not very familiar with these two uncles, they were also considered a family, but Ling Fengxun wanted him to execute them himself.
If they were beheaded, her two sisters would definitely come to trouble her overnight, and the elders in the family, including Madam Du, would also make a fuss.
Concubine Hui suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Princess, you are right. I am too sentimental about our old relationship."
She resisted the urge to beg for mercy, because what An Yunxi said was indeed true. In this situation, begging for mercy was useless.
She took two deep breaths and suddenly looked at the second prince Ling Changxi who was standing beside her and should not have appeared in the hall.
"The second prince was suspected of assassinating the princess with the Chu family a few months ago. Wasn't he arrested and imprisoned? I don't know why he is here."
Ling Fengxun, who had been silent all the time, opened his thin lips.
"Him, I asked him to come."
