The ominous premonition in the Censor's heart grew stronger and stronger, but now he had no idea what to say.

Because he had no idea what fatal information was written on the letters in the emperor's hands.

Zhao Ji said slowly, "Aren't the supervisors usually able to extend their powers? Why are you so tongue-tied today that you can't even answer the questions the emperor asks you?"

The Censor gritted his teeth. He looked at the emperor's expression and found that he had no expression on his face and there was even a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"I really don't know what is written in these letters, but I know that many colleagues have complained about me because of my impartiality during this period. So if there is any bad information, I hope Your Majesty can see it clearly..."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this.

"The Censor is indeed very eloquent. I think if others have complaints about you, they must think you are too talkative and that some things cannot be covered up. As a colleague, I advise you to be lenient if you confess and be strict if you resist!"

Zhao Ji spoke slowly.

Even though the Censor's legs were weakened by fear, he still held on and did not give in.

"I hope Your Majesty will be able to understand you. If you have any other questions, I will answer them without hesitation. After all, I am loyal to Your Majesty and the court!"

The Censor was now determined to die. He knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground and kowtowed deeply to the Emperor. He looked like a loyal minister.

The emperor was so angry at the shamelessness of the censor that he laughed: "How dare you say that? Do you know what is written on these papers? These are all envelopes I got from you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Censor felt his heart sink cold. At this moment, the Censor could probably guess what was inside.

"These things must be someone's attempt to frame me. I have been handling this impartially and have offended some people. I hope Your Majesty will look into this matter and clear my name!"

The disappointment in the emperor's eyes was growing. The reason why the emperor did not reveal the contents of the envelope in public was actually because he hoped to give the Censor a chance.

As long as the Censor admits his mistake at this time, or honestly assumes the responsibility he should bear, the Emperor will still want to protect him in his heart.

But now, it is obvious that the Censor-in-Chief still refuses to repent even when facing death.

"Since you said that someone else framed you, then it was obviously you who said it yourself. If they offer 100 taels of silver and 10 taels of gold, we will stop investigating them!"

"Could it be that the handwriting on it is also forged? If the handwriting is forged, then is the private seal on it also forged? If the silk screen is forged, then there are even some handprints in other letters. Are they also forged?"

The emperor's three consecutive questions made the censor turn pale.

"I may be young, but I am not stupid. How can you be so arrogant as to think that I will not punish you?"

"I am really disappointed in you. If I hadn't trusted you so much before and even gave you such a great power as the inspection, I wouldn't be as disappointed as I am now!"

The emperor threw all the letters to the ground and hit the Censor's face, while Zhao Ji watched quietly from the side.

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, he said softly, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If the Supervisory Censor could be impartial and honest, then these letters would not exist!"

"I just don't know how much money the Censor-in-Chief took. When I went to the disaster area to provide relief, the people there were in great need of money. I wonder if the money the Censor-in-Chief took back is enough to feed and clothe the people?"

Zhao Ji smiled and held the jade ring on his hand.

"My people are all living in dire straits. I didn't expect that my officials would be so corrupt. If you give the money and food to the people, it will be enough for them to live a carefree life for several years!"

"But now it seems that if you are free from worries, then the people should be the ones who should be worried!"

At this moment, the emperor completely understood Zhao Ji's meaning, which meant that he wanted the emperor to see how many parasites there were in the court and how powerful these parasites were!

"Go find someone to check the Censor's property. I'm not here to confiscate his property. I want to see how much money he has received during this period of time, and how much he has done!"

"This money may be enough to make the devil work. I wonder what the Censor can do with this money!"

Zhao Ji spoke slowly, and when he finished, he looked up at the emperor.

The young emperor had already been looking at the Censor angrily. When he felt Zhao Ji looking at him, he exchanged a glance with Zhao Ji and remembered the regulations that Zhao Ji had mentioned before the court session.

"Then let the Regent take people to sort out what the Censor-in-Chief has been doing recently. I also want to see how much money this little power can make in the court!"

"Please ask the Regent to take some people to take inventory..."

After the emperor finished saying this, the Censor who had been holding on slowly collapsed and sat on the ground with his head lowered in despair. No one knew what he was thinking.

The emperor's last look at the Censor was filled with regret.

At the beginning, the emperor really liked the Censor and really appreciated the way he did things.

But now it seems that perhaps what he saw was nothing more than a disguise by the Censor-in-Chief, probably for the purpose of making himself trust the Censor-in-Chief and thus gaining more power from himself.

"If your various disguises and your high-sounding declarations were only for the sake of gaining my attention and my reward, then you have indeed succeeded. However, such success must come at a price!"

The emperor said disappointedly: "I trusted you so much at the beginning and gave you such a great power to supervise all officials. In fact, I hoped that you could make some changes in the court, so that the people of the Celestial Empire could be treated more fairly than before. I also hoped that under your arrangement, the people could have more opportunities to survive..."

"But now it seems that I was totally wrong. It's my fault!" When the emperor said this, his eyes were clearer than before.

It was obvious that the emperor was really heartbroken, so he accused this man in such a passionate manner!
