Chapter 427 428: Show evidence

  However, in fact, this actually happened in the previous life.

   It's just that it wasn't her father who was pushed out as a scapegoat, but the servant of the household department.

  The servant of the household department did not have such a good life. He stepped into the trap set up for him by others, and was beheaded and ransacked in the end.

  It was several years later that the prefect of Jiangcheng was actually arrested. The number of people involved in this matter shocked the government and the public.

In this life, the fate of the Lu family is completely opposite to that of the previous life. Lu Mingzhu is hated by Concubine Shu, she is hated by Liu Anyao, and her father is hated by Liu Xiangji. It was because there were no bones left that had been swallowed by Liu Xiang long ago.

   This inspection of the Pingjiang dam is simply a perfect plan to get rid of her father quietly.

Chu Jinyan looked at Lu Xiang in a daze. For some reason, when she said this, he had the illusion that he couldn't catch Lu Xiang. Subconsciously, he grabbed Lu Xiang's hand and held it tightly. Here, it seems that as soon as I let go, I will find that everything is a dream.

  Intuition told himself that it shouldn't be that simple for Lu Xiang to know the matter, but he wouldn't get to the bottom of it.

  As long as this girl truly belongs to me.

   "What's wrong?" Lu Xiang couldn't help but be astonished seeing the uneasy expression in Chu Jinyan's eyes.

   "Find some sense of reality, otherwise it will always feel like you are going to leave me." Chu Jinyan did not hide his inner uneasiness, and looked at Lu Xiang with aggrieved eyes.

  Lu Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

  The eighth prince, who has always been cold and noble, unexpectedly has such a childish side.

  But it made her heart warm.

  The case of Lu Youping's corruption caused heated discussions in the capital. While Liu Xiang was relieved, he couldn't help but wonder why An Guogong and the others didn't take any action. Could it be that they gave up on Lu Youping so easily?

  Even if he doesn't move, the empress doesn't like his daughter very much, so she doesn't care about it?

  If Lu Youping is convicted, he will be sentenced to death, and the entire Lu family will be exiled even if they are not convicted.

  The Qiao family is the in-laws of the Lu family, so they had a champion, and being implicated by the Lu family will also affect their official career. Liu Xiang knew that Qiao Yuanan would not be used by him, so he directly crushed him to death in the cradle before he showed his talents.

  But he saw Qiao Yuan'an going to the Hanlin Academy every day in high spirits to be on duty.

  These unusual circumstances made Liu Xiang suspicious.

  However, before he could find out the reason, the Dali Temple Minister interrogated Lu Youping on the day, but was caught off guard by the evidence Lu Youping submitted and the person he wanted to sue.

  Ten thousand muddy horses galloped past in Dali Siqing's heart, staring at Lu Youping wishing he could hang him up and beat him up.

  You have the evidence to prove your innocence, why didn't you submit it earlier, and you have to wait until today when he starts the interrogation?

   Deliberately or not.

   Qi returned to Qi, but Dali Temple Minister did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and hurriedly took Lu Youping back to the prison, and hurried into the palace.

Three account books, as well as several letters, Dali Temple did not restrict the people to watch the case, so many people came to see Lu Youping, a corrupt official, was sentenced on the day of the interrogation, so countless eyes saw that Lu Youping produced evidence Even if Dali Temple Minister wanted to destroy the evidence, it was too late.

   Besides, Dali Temple Qingben is not such a person.

  Master Wang ran all the way to the imperial study room, because he was too anxious, even his hat was crooked.

   "My lord, why are you running in such a hurry?" The little **** outside the imperial study said with a smile when he saw this.

   Lord Wang took a few breaths, and asked: "Please tell me, my father-in-law, I have something important to tell the emperor."

   "Master Wang, wait a moment."

  The little **** didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried into the palace to report.

   Soon, he came out and saluted Lord Wang: "The emperor has seen you, please."

  Master Wang nodded slightly towards the little eunuch, then straightened his clothes, and then strode into the imperial study.

   "I see the emperor, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

   Lord Wang walked to Emperor Chengde's dragon case, saluted and shouted long live.

  Emperor Cheng De was reviewing the memorial, and asked without raising his head when he heard the words: "Shouldn't Aiqing be interrogating Lu Youping at this hour? Why did you come into the palace?"

  Lu Youping committed a major crime, thinking that his highly regarded courtier was corrupt and perverted the law, Emperor Cheng De was so angry that he couldn't sleep well these days, and kept paying attention.

"Back to the emperor, this minister came here for this case. Lu Youping just yelled that he was wronged. I thought he was dying, but unexpectedly he brought out the evidence..." Mr. Wang couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. , this matter is too involved: "Lu Youping wants to sue the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the two doctors of the Ministry of Industry, the servant of the household department, and the prefect of Pingjiang..."

  Master Wang reported a series of names, and Emperor Chengde put down his brush and looked at him in astonishment.

"These people form cliques for personal gain, corruption and perverting the law. In addition to the relief funds and dam funds for the flood in Pingjiang, as well as the funds pulled out by the court when the dams were built in Jiangxi and Changzhou, all of them went into the pockets of these people. The Ministry of Optical Industry Shangshu alone embezzled more than one million taels, these are the account books submitted by Lu Youping and the correspondence with others."

  Emperor Chengde's face became gloomy every time Mr. Wang said a word.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Light and Industry is greedy for so much, so what about the rest of them?

  There are so many people who have to divide the dirt, what a huge amount of corruption in total.

  Emperor Cheng De was so angry that his hands were shaking.

  Seeing that Master Wang had taken out the account books and letters, Hu Qian hurriedly stepped forward to take them, and handed them to Emperor Chengde for review.

   There was silence in the imperial study room, except for the sound of paper rubbing when Emperor Chengde flipped through the account books.

  Master Wang knelt on the ground, not daring to show his air. This matter involves too much, and these are the evidences found by Lu Youping.

  In addition to these people, are there other backers who hide deeper behind them?

  Suddenly, there was a "pop".

  Emperor Chengde slapped the table angrily: "These animals are raised by the court salary, but they are so devoid of conscience."

  My lord Wang was so frightened by Emperor Chengde's anger that he trembled violently and almost fell to the ground.

   "The emperor calm down." Hu Qian handed over a cup of tea and comforted him.

   Master Wang silently gave Hu Qian a thumbs up.

  At this time, only he, the chief executive of the imperial court, dared to speak.

  Emperor Chengde took the teacup angrily, and threw the cup on the table irritably: "What tea to drink, Wang Aiqing, and bring Lu Youping into the palace. I will personally interrogate, pass on my will, and order all officials to enter the palace."

   Lord Wang quickly kowtowed in response: "I obey the order."

   "The servant obeys the order." Hu Qian also responded respectfully.

  Then the two of them left the imperial study without any hesitation.

  Master Wang went to Dali Temple to bring Lu Youping into the palace, while Hu Qian ordered the palace staff to invite all the adults into the palace one by one.
