Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Early the next morning, Cheng Daqi went to court, and the Shunyi Mansion was busy again. People who came to repair the house were arriving one after another, and those who were going to rescue the victims had also set off. Xiao He also transferred a few good men from the Escort Bureau to temporarily act as bodyguards.

The sun was high, people were coming and going on the streets, and the capital city had returned to the bustle before the earthquake. It was at this time that the injustice drum next to the gate of the government office was beaten, and two middle-aged men who looked embarrassed were beating the drum while shouting injustice. .

"Corrupt officials are running rampant and forcing good people into prostitution. Heaven's law still exists and the king's law is not there. I ask the Lord Qingtian to make the decision for the common people."

"Corrupt officials are ruthless, occupying ancestral property and forcing good people into prostitution. Where is the king's law?"

"Please ask Mr. Qingtian to make the decision for the common people."

What do ordinary people like most?
Apart from the feud between the boss and the west, he also likes scandals involving high-ranking families. If the two of them sued for some theft, they would not be interested, but it would be different if the person suing was an official.

Several veteran actors who had been arranged by Cheng You Sanyi early in the morning were also present. They soon gathered a large group of spectators. Their purpose was simple, that is, to make the matter bigger to ensure the safety of the two plaintiffs.

The emperor who had gone to court deliberately left a few important courtiers to handle state affairs, but he was always waiting for news from outside the palace. Cheng Daqi just wanted to send him two fat sheep to slaughter, but he wanted more. Prepare to take this opportunity to break the family's arm.

Without merchants to continuously import money and food for the family, the family would no longer be indestructible.

Several courtiers did not know what the emperor was thinking and were still arguing about several positions. Yuan Pei, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also among them. He did not interfere except that the treasury was empty.

"Your Majesty, General Maverick wants to see you."

The emperor's eyes lit up. His little expert at searching the house had arrived. It seemed that Cheng Daqi's people had already taken action.

General Maverick was 20 years old. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, especially those big eyes. He was very energetic. When he saw the emperor, he bowed his hands and said, "I would like to report to the emperor that two merchants, Lin and Tao, have just sued Qianjiang Governor Qiu Bingshi and Qianjiang Governor." Jiang Buzheng envoy Cao Zhi, the two of them complained about injustice all the way, attracting many people to watch."

"Because two fourth-rank court officials are involved, Mr. Su asked the general to come and ask the emperor whether it is necessary to investigate the case."

The emperor couldn't help but want to say 'yes', and then deliberately frowned, "Why are you suing Qiu and Cao?"

General Xiaoniu said: "Excessive demands for bribes, invading other people's ancestral property, and seizing the women of the people."

"The two merchants came prepared and brought enough vouchers and accounts. The people were filled with indignation, and Mr. Su did not dare to make a decision in private."

"Snapped!"

The emperor casually threw the book in his hand on the imperial case, "Tell Su Qin to take good care of the two suffering masters and let me investigate carefully."

"The command of the last general."

General Maverick quickly turned around and left. The emperor's eyes fell on several important ministers, "To be able to make a merchant risk his life to sue shows how vicious these two people are, huh!"

Yuan Pei thought about it and suddenly understood. He had been wondering where the emperor was going to get a large sum of money quickly for the past two days. He was thinking about the meaning of what the Cheng family's fourth lady said that day. It turned out that she was preparing to slaughter a fat sheep. !

Corrupt courtiers are indeed much richer than ordinary merchants. What idea did Shunyi Bocheng Daqi come up with?

Several other adults exchanged quick glances, and before they could think of anything, Yuan Pei had already stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the merchant's complaint is true, Lords Qiu and Cao will be really chilling. They have failed the Emperor." Thank you for your respect. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our court has paid special attention to corruption. The salary of courtiers is higher than that of neighboring countries. Even the salary of Dongshu officials, who have suddenly emerged in recent years, is only half of that of officials in our court. This arrangement of the court is to ensure that courtiers can serve their duties wholeheartedly. , please order for the welfare of the people." "I sincerely request the emperor to investigate this matter strictly. This trend cannot last forever and must not be tolerated."

My lords: What does Yuan Pei mean?
The emperor looked carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "What Yuan Shangshu said is very consistent with my wishes. The treasury is empty and rats are rampant. Once it is verified, I will not take mercy lightly!"

Is the Yuan family going to surrender to him?
The emperor was somewhat excited.

The hustle and bustle on the street continued. Cheng Yousan spread the news about the two defendants Qiu and Cao in a short period of time. The past of the two was quickly revealed, and the true and false were mixed together, igniting the capital. The flames of enthusiasm among the people, teahouses and restaurants are all talking about this matter.

General Maverick secretly found Cheng Dashan, and Cheng Dashan gave him all the information in his hand. He learned that the two of them had a house specifically for hiding treasures in the capital. General Maverick's already big eyes became even bigger. He immediately arranged for manpower to closely monitor the house where the treasure was hidden. Waiting for the matter to be found out, the emperor gave the order and he quickly led people in to search the house.

You must know that every time the emperor's family is raided, he will tacitly allow him to get a little bit. Part of their Niu Jiajun's military salary comes from this.

"Brother Cheng, let's have wine together some other time."

Cheng Yousanwan didn't expect that the general who searched the house would take the initiative to talk to him, and he was somewhat flattered. "You want to treat me to a drink?"

General Maverick is now very pleased with the Cheng family. He knows the inside story and hopes that the Cheng family can arrange more such fat sheep to increase his income in the future. Seeing Cheng Yousan's stupidity, he immediately laughed and said, "Please When you eat and drink, the third brother Cheng must show his respect."

"Okay, I will come anytime."

Cheng Yousan beamed with joy. What he envied most were these soldiers who could wear armor. They were so majestic. "You don't even know, General Mavericks. I admire the soldiers who serve in the army the most. I used to have the wish to join the army and serve the country. That is, I’m not that material, hehe.”

"Hahaha, I think the third brother Cheng is brave and resourceful, but there is nothing wrong with him."

General Mavericks patted him on the shoulder, "I've been busy lately. When I finish my work, I will definitely come and invite the third brother Cheng personally."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the letter."

At this moment, Cheng Yousan felt that he was different. He was very impressive. When General Maverick left, he still stood still. He turned to Cheng Daqi and said: "Dad, do you think it's particularly impressive for me to wear such a suit of armor? "

Cheng Daqi gave him a disgusted look, "Do you know how much that armor weighs, and how can you still run in it?"

"Xiaosi still practices with your mother every morning. What are you doing?"

After saying that and walking away with his hands behind his back, Cheng Yousan, who was about to retort, suddenly exclaimed, "Dad, can your arms go behind your back?"

"It's been reduced a lot."

When he called out, Cheng Daqi also reacted. The arm behind his back tried to touch the fingers of the other hand. When the fingertips touched, he cried out in surprise, "It's true, hahahaha, I'm going to lose weight."

If you lose weight, you can wear the kind of belt worn by Gengoro, and you can be like a tree, hahahaha.
