Chapter 45 Look at me, you bastard!

The entire Chongyun Palace immediately became silent.

After a while, Jiang Yingcheng's inner voice rang out.

[Hey, why are the words uncle said exactly the same as what Cheng Cheng wanted to say? ]

Gao Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Emperor Mingze had clearly told them that they must not let the little princess know that they could hear her thoughts.

It was just that the feeling of having the upper hand just now was too overwhelming, and he blurted out the words impulsively.

Gao Siyuan's eyes wandered, not daring to look at the expression of Emperor Mingze on the golden platform.

Qu Kaiyu's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

He looked around at the colleagues who had gone to the Duke's Mansion with him yesterday, and his intention to seek help was obvious.

Several people avoided his gaze with flickering eyes.

Gao Siyuan: “…”

Jiang Yanchuan's gaze slowly shifted from Jiang Yingcheng, whose eyes were wide open, to Gao Siyuan, whose face was flushed, and he suddenly asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Gao?"

If the girl continues to think along the same lines, even if she has no doubts, the "system" will start to think too much.

Gao Siyuan had a bitter face.

How could he know what the little princess meant? He was just a mouthpiece repeating the little princess's thoughts.

Normally, he thought that those who did that were unlucky would stay as far away from them as possible. So how could he know whether the other party was corrupt or not?

Gao Siyuan knew that Emperor Mingze was actually asking about the "Brother Tong" in the little princess' heart, but he was really unsure.

If that "Brother Tong" didn't respond in time, how would he get out of this embarrassing situation?

If he can't explain his ugly mistake today, Qu Kaiyu will definitely rush over and cut him into pieces!

Qu Kaiyu had already started to kneel down and shout that he was innocent.

"Your Majesty! I have been an official for many years, loyal to the king and the country, and I have always been incorruptible! General Gao slandered me just because of a small quarrel in the court. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for me!"

He turned around and secretly glanced at a few ministers who were on good terms with him, hoping that they would help him criticize Gao Siyuan. However, he was surprised to find that several of them gave him an unfathomable look and then turned their heads away.

Qu Kaiyu's heart was beating fast.

What's going on with these people?

When they usually denounced the military attachés together, it was obvious that one or two of them were more eloquent than him.

Now they are frightened by just some groundless remarks?

The court is filled with a bunch of villains who are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation!

He pulled the corner of his lips with some disdain.

Gao Siyuan became even more anxious.

Qu Kaiyu pretended to howl in grief. If he couldn't quickly respond, not only would his momentum be reduced, but the atmosphere would also become even more weird.

Some court officials have already begun to speak up for Qu Kaiyu.

Several people were so angry that they seemed to want to eat him alive.

Fortunately——

The little princess didn't keep him waiting too long.

Jiang Yingcheng's attention was always easily diverted. Seeing this man shouting his injustice so shamelessly, he immediately started a new business.

[Let me talk, let me talk. Um, last March, I collected 100,000 taels of silver from the county magistrate of Changning County...]

[In May, 150,000 taels of silver were collected in response to the county order…]

[August... 130,000 taels...]

【November……】

[Wow! He is even more greedy than the Minister of Personnel! ]

Gao Siyuan was overjoyed and mechanically repeated what the little princess said in her heart.

This time he was more careful and did not repeat everything. Instead, he changed the order and only talked about a few of the large amounts.

Ever since Gao Siyuan began to state the specific charges against him, the few people who had just supported Qu Kaiyu seemed to be choked by something and could not utter a word for a long time.

He said it so firmly and specifically, and on such an occasion in Chongyun Palace...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like something he just said casually.

Qu Kaiyu, who was kneeling on the ground, had his back stiff and his eyes wide open in horror.

This is because every piece of data Gao Siyuan mentioned was the data that he had already memorized after looking through his personal account books late at night.

But how did Gao Siyuan know all this? !

But every time he accepted a bribe, he would take the trouble to plan the steps precisely down to every tiny detail. He believed that if the people who bribed him had not revealed themselves, there would be no way the matter would be exposed!

Thinking of this, Qu Kaiyu closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again, forcing himself to calm down.

"Ridiculous!" He heard his own voice echoing throughout Chongyun Palace, "You said I was corrupt and took bribes, so I am corrupt and took bribes?"

Qu Kaiyu sneered: "If everyone in the court is like General Gao, who wants to slander the court officials without any evidence, what kind of law can we talk about in this Great Rui?!"

Gao Siyuan was speechless for a moment.

The fact that this person could speak so eloquently proves that he was extremely careful in hiding the evidence, and it might be difficult to find the evidence.

Seeing Gao Siyuan's reaction, several people in the court began to support Qu Kaiyu again.

They belong to the same camp and will meet each other sooner or later. If it is really discovered that the other party is corrupt or accepting bribes, they can also say that they did not know him well.

In the noisy environment, Gao Siyuan subconsciously looked in the direction of the little princess.

The other side did not disappoint his expectations -

【Hey? 】

[Hidden in the house in the suburbs of Beijing that was owned by his younger brother? ]

[All government silver?! ]

[Ahhh, let’s go dig, shall we? ! ! ]

Gao Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt completely relieved.

Even though he felt a little sorry for the little princess, he had to take the credit for today!

"Empty words?" Gao Siyuan puffed out his chest, feeling as happy as if he had won a battle. "Then where did your brother get the government silver hidden in his house outside Beijing?!"

A "bang" sound——

It seemed as if a huge strange noise exploded in his ears, and Qu Kaiyu knelt down on the ground. In the cold winter month, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

There was fear and despair in his eyes.

As these silver coins had official seals on them, he had not touched them since he collected them and had buried them all underground in his brother's house.

But now, he was about to fall into an irretrievable situation because of the stolen money that he had not touched even a cent of!

Gao Siyuan looked on with joy as the imperial guards rushed forward to escort Qu Kaiyu out of Chongyun Palace, and he felt much more refreshed.

But his good mood did not last long.

Seeing that the corrupt official was imprisoned by her father, Jiang Yingcheng's wish to secretly dig for silver was dashed. She lost interest in the matter and went back to dig up the excitement that took place in the Duke's Mansion last night with 007.

[Hahahaha, who is so mean as to set someone else's yard on fire? ]

Gao Siyuan's smile froze on the corner of his mouth.

No!

etc!

We still have some official silver to dig out!

Such a big thing, you are not interested anymore? !

[Oh, this is the general uncle who sent the corrupt official to jail! ]

Gao Siyuan: “…”

In a trance, he saw Duke Wang, who had just calmed down, turn around very slowly and stare at him fiercely.

Lord Wang stared intently and spoke silently:

Look at me, you bastard!
