The crowning ceremony of the crown prince is over.

The court meeting was postponed for one hour.

Qin Jianjia looked at Ye Liangchen with gloomy eyes, with a hint of murderous intent. Even Qin Shaoliang was the same, clenching his fists with veins bulging.

Empress An Qintian arrived late, and Crown Prince An Lan followed her. When she sat on the throne, An Lan stood in the position of a minister, but she was the chief among all the ministers.

Of course, there was another person standing at the head of all the ministers, the prime minister of the time, Gu Tianshou.

All of a sudden, all the ministers shouted in unison, "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

When the ministers paid their respects to the empress and the crown prince, it meant the court meeting had begun.

Then a censor came forward and wanted to impeach someone.

Of course, military officers were basically the targets of the censors’ attacks. Some even impeached Qin Jianjia, “Your Majesty, General Qin has done nothing since taking over the Imperial Guards. Bandits are everywhere in the capital, but she doesn’t care…”

However, before the censor had finished speaking.

Qin Jianjia has already stepped out.

Then he knelt on one knee and said to the Empress An Qintian: "I allow Your Majesty to release me from my post."

When she said this, the ministers were all confused, even the Empress An Qintian was stunned.

Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her eyes were full of confusion: "My dear, why do you want to be dismissed?"

Qin Jianjia explained in detail: "My husband was captured by the Black Tiger Gang today. I am going to rescue him. I don't know when I will be back. As for the dismissal, the Black Tiger Gang was the work of the censors."

"When the prefect of Jingzhou suppressed the Black Tiger Gang, he was impeached by the censors, so no official in the capital dared to suppress the Black Tiger Gang. Now the Black Tiger Gang has been entrenched in the underground of the capital for many years, kidnapping and trafficking people, oppressing the people, and openly assassinating officials appointed by the court. Those who were killed included four inspectors and one prosecutor."

"This has reached the point where both humans and gods are outraged, but officials in the capital, both big and small, have turned a blind eye to it in order to protect themselves. No one dares to report it. Since no one is handling it, I will dismiss the official and let one person handle it, so as not to implicate the court and the officials."

Qin Jianjia's tone was full of anger.

And disappointment with the entire court.

When Empress An Qintian heard her words, her fair forehead seemed to be locked with a lock, and her brows were tightly locked.

Her eyes gradually became cold as she looked at the ministers, especially those from the Censorate, as all the censors were from the Censorate.

The Censorate and the Prime Minister of the time were in cahoots with each other.

As for the censors, when they heard her speech, their faces turned pale and their eyes widened.

All the censors cursed and said, "You are slandering us! You are slandering us out of nothing!"

"We have never heard of the Black Tiger Gang bribing us!"

"That's right. Even the Black Tiger Gang didn't know about it."

Many officials who were not involved also shook their heads and muttered to themselves, "Yeah, where did the Black Tiger Gang come from? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"I have heard a little bit about the Black Tiger Gang, a small sect, but it is not to this extent."

They were all officials of the fourth or fifth rank and knew nothing about the matter.

As they murmured.

Qin Jianjia made another report, "Before I am dismissed, I have one more thing to report!"

Listen to her resolute tone.

Empress An Qintian's heart sank for a moment, then she slowly said, "Play it."

Qin Jianjia turned her head and looked at Ye Liangchen, her eyes full of murderous intent, and said: "I want to impeach Ye Liangchen. This person is cruel and ruthless. Not long after I got married, this person sent someone to sneak into the Qin Mansion and poisoned my husband. When he saw that my husband was not dead, he reached out and strangled him."

"During the poetry gathering that day, Ye Jianguan and Tong Wanxia poisoned my sister with drugs and sent people to kidnap her, hoping that she would have an affair with my husband. I already have evidence in my hands, and my sister can testify as well."

"As for now, the Black Tiger Gang has captured my husband. We need to ask Ye Jianguan what kind of deal he made with those people? Do they have to put him to death?!"

At this point, Qin Jianjia suddenly sneered. At this moment, she had already given up.

Make everything public.

After rescuing Xu Qiu, we will go to Qingluan Valley together instead of the dirty capital city.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen's face turned pale and he looked at Qin Jianjia in disbelief. He didn't expect that she would be so determined to pull him down.

He was only a sixth-rank censor, barely qualified to attend court meetings, while the other party was a third-rank official, and her credibility was much higher than his.

"You...are you really that serious..." Ye Liangchen covered his chest in anger.

Before he could finish, Qin Shaoliang, holding a tablet, also stepped out and looked at Ye Liangchen with the same sharp eyes.

He said: "I also impeach Ye Liangchen. This person has evil intentions and has always wanted to overthrow the Qin family. Just because the Qin family is in the way of certain people, Ye Liangchen is the tool in their hands to bring down the Qin family. His engagement with Gu Xiangxiang, the daughter of Lord Gu, is proof of this!"

When Xu Qiu was captured by the Black Tiger Gang, Qin Jianjia and Qin Shaoliang's first thought was that Ye Liangchen was also involved.

After all, he was present every time an accident occurred in the Qin Mansion.

When Qin Shaoliang said this, all the important officials in the court widened their eyes.

They didn't expect that Ye Liangchen was so good at hiding the truth and actually had an engagement with Gu Xiangxiang.

Originally, everyone thought that this news was just hearsay and not very credible.

But now, coming from Qin Shaoliang's mouth, it is more credible.

All the officials suddenly realized at this moment. No wonder Ye Liangchen, a rookie, became the youngest sixth-rank censor in less than two years.

Rumor has it that not long ago, the Ministry of Personnel discussed internally the plan to promote Ye Liangchen to the rank of fifth-rank Grand Secretary, and the memorial had already been written.

It seems that the prime minister of this dynasty has made a great contribution!

With the engagement in place, how could the promotion be slow? At this moment, Qin Shaoliang's words gave Gu Tianshou a wake-up call.

Unexpectedly, the fire burned him.

Empress An Qin stared at the prime minister with sharp eyes.

"Lord Gu, do you have anything to say? It's such a big deal, but you didn't tell me about it. You have a daughter in your old age, you treasure her very much~"

When Empress An Qintian spoke, there was a hint of coldness in her tone.

Gu Tianshou realized that danger was approaching and could only sigh helplessly.

"Your Majesty, my daughter Gu Xiangxiang broke off her engagement with him yesterday. Although Ye Liangchen has some strategies, his character is extremely bad. Gu Xiangxiang came back crying yesterday, and I found out after asking her a few questions."

"Ye Liangchen and my daughter were already engaged, but he was still hooking up with outsiders, General Qin..., Miss Tong, and even some princesses. So I was so angry that I had the marriage certificate annulled."

Gu Tianshou cut off his arm to protect himself.

What's more, when Ye Liangchen made Gu Xiangxiang cry last night, Gu Tianshou no longer helped Ye Liangchen and kicked him out of his camp.

When the Empress An Qintian heard this, she looked at Ye Liangchen with disdain, especially since he had hooked up with the princess. An Qintian's brows furrowed tightly, "In that case, Ye Liangchen is not suitable to be an official."

The Crown Prince An Lan, who had been silent all this time, also stood up and said, "Mother Queen, I also have something to say."

Empress An Qintian's expression became strange.

What kind of public outrage has Ye Liangchen caused? Even the prince who is dressed as a man has to say something.

"Go ahead."

An Lan bowed, and then said: "Your son suggests arresting Ye Jianguan for interrogation. Yesterday, the City Patrol Department sent a message that Ye Jianguan secretly left the city and was said to be heading towards the Black Tiger Gang headquarters. I guess they are related."

When this matter was finished, she gave another suggestion:

"I hope that the Queen Mother will not dismiss General Qin and let her lead the 800 imperial soldiers to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang, eradicate the cancer of the capital, and rescue her husband at the same time..."

"At the same time, I think that officials below the sixth rank in the capital need to be thoroughly investigated. There is such a big cancer in the capital, but no one has reported it. This is very wrong. Maybe someone is keeping it secret and deceiving the subordinates and the superiors."
