Xie Lingyun looked at Jiang Qingyan as if asking for help, "If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid he will lose his life."

"No way!" Jiang Qingyan took her hand to comfort her, "Master Xue is an upright official, helping us manage our affairs, he will definitely not accept bribes, he was framed."

"Duke Qi is an old fox, he will always find trouble! I must tease him!" Jiang Hao rushed out as soon as his temper came up.

Jiang Qingyan shouted coldly, "Come back!"

Jiang Hao's footsteps paused, and when he turned around, he saw his sister's brows furrowed tightly, "What kind of official position do you have now, do you still dare to touch the Duke of Qi? Why did you come out of the Ministry of Punishment safely today? Don't you have any idea?"

"Ah? What's the number... Isn't this me who was protected by the emperor?" Jiang Hao scratched the back of his head with a naive expression on his face.

"Knowing that the emperor is protecting you, do you still want to make trouble for him? Can the emperor protect you forever?" Jiang Qingyan gritted her teeth.

"Of course I can. The emperor said that I am in the Ministry of Industry. As long as I don't hurt others, don't take bribes, and make any small mistakes, he will turn a blind eye to them, because sister, you are his..." Jiang Hao accidentally poured it all out.

But he didn't remember it until he was talking, this was what Jun Qinglan told him before, and now Jun Qinglan and his sister are no longer husband and wife.

Jiang Hao felt his scalp tingle.

In the final analysis, he is so willful as an official because of his sister and Jun Qinglan's love for their siblings.

Xie Lingyun listened to Jiang Hao's words, and his heart became even heavier, "Jiang Hao is your younger brother, the emperor will naturally protect him, and he will never deal with it lightly, but Xue Yu is different, his family is just a wealthy businessman in Beijing. I can't enter the palace to inquire about news, I'm worried about him..."

"Don't worry, since you are in the palace, if you haven't been imprisoned, you won't be convicted. Let Jiang Hao go into the palace to have a look!" Jiang Qingyan comforted her.

Jiang Hao's eyes widened, "Ah? I'm entering the palace...I..."

"You what you! If you don't go, do you want me and Lingyun to go? You have an official status, even if you don't say anything, it's justified to stand in the Qinzheng Hall, you know?" Hao taught me a lesson.

Jiang Hao nodded helplessly, so he had to bite the bullet.

However, he has a good relationship with Xue Yu, and he still wanted to say something nice for him, but before Jiang Qingyan sent him into the palace, he told him not to intercede for Xue Yu, just listen, Jun Qinglan wants How to deal with Xue Yu.

Otherwise, he couldn't say a word more.

Jiang Hao went back to the Ministry of Industry and took a recently researched object, and went to the palace to meet him.

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, Xue Yu has been kneeling for several hours.

When he saw Jiang Hao coming, his handsome eyebrows were slightly raised. Jiang Hao came to talk to him, but he quickly shook his head to signal Jiang Hao not to approach.

Otherwise he will be implicated too.

Jiang Hao went to find Jun Qinglan with his new invention.

Jun Qinglan was discussing with Qi Guogong and others about Xue Yu.

When Jiang Hao entered the hall, all the people standing in the hall were old officials with white hair and long beards. He walked here alone, which was in stark contrast to them.

Jun Qinglan announced him to come in, and knew that he was here to present a new invention, so he paused Qi Guogong and others from talking about Xue Yu, and looked at the things Jiang Hao sent up.

His new research is a dagger, which is small and sharp. It looks ordinary, but it cuts iron like mud. The handle and blade can be disassembled. After re-joining, it is a dart with the toughest silk inside. , it can be used to control enemies and self-defense, and it can also be used for climbing, which can be described as exquisite and ingenious.

Jun Qinglan asked someone to bring targets, stone walls and other things. After trying it himself, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he praised Jiang Hao, "He is worthy of being a skilled craftsman, and he is a well-deserved master of ingenuity in my dynasty."

Jiang Hao bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your compliment, the emperor has orders, and this humble minister must be careful."

Jun Qinghao patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction, and rewarded him a lot.

Qi Guogong and others watched from the sidelines, feeling jealous, "The emperor really favors Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang has earned face for the Jiang family again this time."

Jiang Hao hated Qi Guogong the most, and immediately replied, "What does the face of the Jiang family have to do with you? Do you want to talk too much?"

It's really nothing to look for, a lot of bullshit every day!

Duke Qi was so angry that he was about to lose his temper, but it was Jun Qinglan who spoke at the right time, "Jiang Hao is young, Duke Qi doesn't have to argue with him."

Jun Qinglan pointed to the place beside her, "Jiang Hao, stand here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Hao obediently stood over.

Although his official position is not very high, the position next to Jun Qinglan has always been occupied by important officials of the court. Except for the King of Zhongshan, Qi Guogong and Mu Siting are the most respected by Jun Qinglan.

Now that Jiang Hao is standing there, Qi Guogong is not to mention how annoyed he is. When he visited Xue Yu, he spoke more heavily.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Xue Yu, a businessman from a lowly family background, only wants to make money and is not a clean official. Now he is using the construction of a hospital as an excuse to bully the people and make profits from it. He also wants to embezzle the officials and the Ministry of Industry together Accepting bribes should be strictly investigated and severely punished!"

Jiang Hao couldn't help but start scolding immediately, his brother Xue Yu's family is very rich, and he still needs to embezzle and accept bribes?
But he remembered Jiang Qingyan's advice, hold back!stand up straight!
Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't move and didn't speak, Jun Qinglan felt relieved and asked Qi Guogong to present all the collected evidence to him.

Qi Guogong brought physical evidence, saying that the witnesses were civilian workers, and it was inconvenient to enter the palace. He had already been detained by the Jingzhao Mansion.

Jun Qinglan looked it over and asked several other adults for their opinions, and they all agreed with Qi Guogong's statement.

Jiang Hao stood aside, a little anxious, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice will go to prison for the trial, right?"

Duke Qi snorted coldly, "Master Jiang still remembers the rules of the three provinces and six ministries of the court."

Jiang Hao gritted his teeth and wanted to curse, but Jun Qinglan's steady voice came, "Okay."

He knocked on the imperial case, "Let me think about this case first, and I will give an answer to all my lovers tomorrow to see how to deal with Xue Yu."

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Guogong and the others were not happy, and he said to Jun with a serious face, "Your Majesty, Xue Yu started to take bribes not long after he became an official, and his foundation was not stable. I have always advocated justice and integrity, and the most taboo for officials is to accept bribes. If Xue Yu is not strictly investigated and severely punished for his crimes, we will not be able to set an example for the officials who have just entered the court, and it will be difficult to set a good example, Your Majesty!"

"I never said that there will be no strict investigation, but this strict investigation does not necessarily have to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment." Jun Qinglan said lightly.

"This... case involving officials has always been tried by the Ministry of Punishment. Could it be that the emperor wants to hand it over to other departments?" Qi Guogong was a little confused.
