Chapter 114 Ha, it turns out it’s you!

Ao Jiarong gradually fell into confusion.

Ever since the little princess came to the court, it seems as if a new cult has emerged in the court.

There was a group of ministers who always looked dazed when their colleagues were speaking, and then their expressions would change in turn, from expectation at the beginning to excitement or anger, and so on.

They also have one thing in common, which is that they always look up at the golden platform from time to time.

The emotions in Ao Jiarong's eyes gradually became solemn.

Could it be...

What secret codes did Emperor Mingze give them?

Is he excluded?!

Ao Jiarong looked around suspiciously, but didn't get any response.

The cultists were waiting with bated breath for the voice that sounded like the sound of nature.

Jiang Yingcheng's almond-shaped eyes were fixed on the small translucent panel in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.

[This Lord Ao is truly a talent! ]

The ministers looked disdainful.

Although court officials generally disliked the officials of the Inspectorate and were inevitably biased in their evaluations, Ao Jiarong was objectively annoying.

Different from Bi Honglang who wanted to make a comment on everything, Ao Jiarong only picked those trivial matters that seemed insignificant to others. Every time he spoke, people would have the urge to pry open his brain.

That's it, or is it talent?

Jiang Yingcheng, who was standing on the golden platform, had no idea what everyone was thinking. He still lowered his head and immersed himself in the explosive news he had seen.

[How is his behavior any different from being kept by a prostitute? ! !] Shocked, her voice unconsciously rose a lot.

The ministers took a deep breath.

This is the kind of talent!!

They can do this!!

[You spend all your own money on household expenses, and then go to brothels to trick prostitutes under the pretext of helping them get rid of their status as prostitutes, cheating on them with food, drink, and feelings, and in the end you still have to take money from them? ]

Jiang Yingcheng frowned in disgust when he read half of it: [How dare you criticize my Uncle Jiao when your character is so bad?!]

[Uncle Jiao refused a large stack of banknotes sent by the Lin family yesterday!] Jiang Yingcheng shook his head like a little adult and said "tsk" twice, [How can the gap between people be so big?!]

After hearing this, Jiao Hongmiao straightened his back with relief.

He was proud of his status and didn't want to waste words with this man, but the words in the little prince's heart could be heard by all the loyal ministers present!

This has been stamped by the all-knowing "Brother Tong"!

Ran Hongyi, the Minister of Works standing beside Jiao Hongmiao, tilted his head slightly and whispered in a low voice, "I remember two months ago when the Jinyiwei was investigating a case, they ran into Ao Jiarong walking out of Maple Lane. When they asked him why, he claimed that he accidentally got lost?"

Jiao Hongmiao endured it seriously for a moment, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity.

"It is said that Xing Junchu was hiding in that alley while handling a case. He was also seen walking towards the Jianggu Building next door and stayed there for several hours!"

“Wow!”

That Jianggu Building is a famous brothel!

This Lord Ao really enjoys himself!

The discussion between the two soon attracted more court officials to join in. Although they could not move their bodies, they stretched their necks as far as possible.

"Lord Ao asked Hua Niang for money, and then spent it in the brothel. It can be regarded as self-production and self-sale in Maple Forest Lane!"

"I remember that Ao Jiarong's wife is the only daughter of Jiang Maoxue, right?!"

"hiss--"

Several people turned their heads to look at Jiang Maoxue who was diagonally behind them.

Jiang Maoxue's face turned ashen, and the veins on his neck bulged. He looked like he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

but--

The results were minimal.

He roared in his heart.

Divorce!

His daughter must divorce this scumbag!

Jiang Maoxue turned around angrily and glared at Ao Jiarong, but saw that the other's expression was not much better than his.

Ao Jiarong's face was pale, with beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his temples.

He naturally noticed Jiang Maoxue's gaze, but he had no time to pay attention.

Although the discussions around him were not loud, they were loud enough for him to hear clearly. He didn't know why these two things were suddenly mentioned by the ministers, but he knew very well in his heart that once someone became interested in this matter, they would definitely be able to find clues.

Jiang Maoxue was about to open his mouth to scold a few words when he heard another surprised voice from the golden platform -

【ah!!】

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes were illuminated by the candlelight: [Great! That Hua Niang finally realized that she was fooled by this Lord Ao. When Lord Ao came over in disguise to ask for money yesterday, she directly tore Lord Ao's clothes and pushed him out of the room! ]

The sound of milk humming repeated in a rhythmic manner: [Wow~ Push, out, the, door, la! ]

There was silence in the court for a moment, and then suddenly more people began to talk.

"Come to think of it, I did hear yesterday that a big joke happened in a brothel in Maple Lane. I never thought——"

Ha, it turns out it’s you!

He usually appears to be very upright when reviewing other people's manuscripts, but it turns out that he is dirtier than anyone else in private!

[Hey, Cheng Cheng was saying it, how could this Lord Ao dare to go beyond his level and report to my Uncle Jiao, so this is how it is! ]

Jiang Yingcheng shook his head, and his excited expression seemed to say "I finally discovered your secret."

[As soon as Lord Ao was pushed out of the room by Lady Hua, he ran into someone from the Lin residence who had come to look for him. He accepted a huge stack of banknotes from them! ]

[Oh~ Look, even the people in the Lin Mansion know where to find someone! ]

【Isn’t it embarrassing? 】

The childish voice was full of sarcasm, and the ministers couldn't help but look sideways when they heard it.

Look, even a little princess like you knows this, how can you, a grown-up person, not know it?!

Someone couldn't help but sneer out loud: "You want to go to such a place without any money? You've got to let Hua Niang kick you out, right?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Ao is indeed a good official in the eyes of the people. He did things for others right after receiving the money."

"It's just a pity for Master Jiao. Those who didn't receive the money will be reported by those who did."

Ao Jiarong: “!!!”

When he was doing business with the people from the Lin residence yesterday, he had clearly confirmed carefully that no one was eavesdropping, and the people from the Lin residence had also been carefully disguised to make sure there was no risk of being discovered, so he dared to take the money with confidence.

How did this group of people know this in such a short time? !

Ao Jiarong did not dare to look up at the expression of Emperor Mingze who was sitting on the high platform, but the sense of oppression that belonged only to the emperor hit his shoulders heavily, causing his legs to tremble and he almost fainted.

He was not sure whether the discussions around him had stopped. The constant noise in his ears had made it impossible for him to hear any other sounds.

After a while.

“Boom—”

Jiang Yingcheng, who was still happily looking for melons while immersed in Ao Jiarong's life story, was startled by the sudden loud noise. When he raised his head, he saw that the melon owner, who was so high-spirited just now, had fallen straight to the ground and seemed to have fainted.

[Huh?] Jiang Yingcheng stretched his neck and looked down, [We were just talking fine, why did he suddenly faint?]

The eyes of the ministers who had just spoken shifted.

have no idea.

They don’t know either!
