Chapter 415 Don't second the motion...

The next day, the Censorate jointly wrote a letter to criticize the Pei family for taking the lead in expanding the trafficking of women, forming a dirty industrial chain from south to north.

It was found that Shuiyue Temple was set up as an industry liaison point in various places.

It was also pointed out that wealthy businessmen and daughters of officials were the primary targets, and that many officials' families and wealthy girls had disappeared near the outskirts of Beijing, all due to Shuiyue Temple.

List multiple victims and attach the deceased victims' belongings, witness statements, etc.

This huge bombshell really shocked the entire court. Even the emperor coughed continuously on the dragon throne and almost died.

Pei Yongji knew that the matter would not end there, but he did not expect the other party to attack the Pei family so quickly.

This really caught me off guard.

Although he had been prepared, he still felt a little confused at this moment. He quickly knelt down to apologize and bowed his head heavily to the ground, "Your Majesty! I will not show my loyalty even if I die a thousand times."

The emperor flipped through the compiled bills and became more and more frightened.

After flipping to the end, he threw the account book at Pei Yongji's head and said, "What else do you have to say, Pei family?"

"Your Majesty!" Pei Yongji bowed his head heavily. "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that my family only learned about this matter two days ago."

"My half-brother is so ignorant that he actually did such a shameful business outside, and even implicated my second son Pei Yang. He has been tied up and sent to the Dali Temple! It is all up to your majesty to decide."

"As the second son of this humble official, I am young and ignorant. I only thought that I could make some money by following my uncle, but I never expected that this would be such a life-threatening business."

"Pei Yang was seriously injured after his argument with Lord Yuhu last time, and he died yesterday evening."

Yu Linlang honestly raised the tablet in his hand and stepped out of the line, "Your Majesty, I report! In my opinion, Pei Yang's injuries could not have caused his death. He was probably purged by the head of the Pei family to silence the public. I strongly request that Lord Chitu of the Demon Suppression Division go to perform an autopsy to find out the truth."

Everyone:...

Ximen Bugui held his forehead in silence: I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but whenever that bastard opens his mouth to speak, I always want to laugh.

The Sixth Prince stepped out of the line and bowed, "Father, I have something to say."

The emperor felt a headache and waved his hand, "Let's go get the imperial teacher first."

He took a breath and looked at his son, "You say."

The Sixth Prince lifted his robe and knelt on the ground with his body straight. "Father! I saw in the file that the human trafficking case may have involved more than ten years. Therefore, I request that this matter be sent to the Dali Temple for a strict investigation. We must get to the bottom of it."

Yu Linlang said in a businesslike tone, "I second the motion!"

Then, a series of seconding motions followed. The emperor pressed his brows and looked at the imperial teacher who was walking quickly outside the hall.

Yu Linlang glanced to the side and saw the tall imperial teacher, who was over sixty years old, striding towards him. He had three braids wrapped under a golden scarf and held a cane inlaid with a large ruby ​​in his hand, which was extremely eye-catching.

"Your Majesty." The Imperial Master bowed and saluted with one hand across his chest.

"Imperial Master." The emperor waved at him.

Everyone looked at the imperial teacher with strange expressions as he stepped onto the dragon platform and bowed closer to His Majesty who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Lord Li of the Imperial Censorate was horrified and said, "Your Majesty must not get so close to the Barbarian Chieftain."

The Imperial Master glanced at him, smiling, and took out a round pill from a bottle. "Your Majesty!" All the ministers were shocked, and they kept bowing and shouting, "Your Majesty, you can't take pills at random."

"His Majesty."

The emperor seemed to have long been accustomed to taking pills made by the imperial master. Upon hearing this, he just waved his hand exhaustedly and said lightly, "I trust the imperial master."

Yu Linlang looked at everything in front of her expressionlessly, then quietly retreated back to the crowd holding her tablet.

The emperor began to openly pass out medicine when he was in court, which shows that his body can't hold out for too long...

At this moment, an old cabinet minister in his seventies suddenly jumped up, pointed at the imperial teacher's nose and cursed him as a "flatterer".

It is said that the pills can only replenish strength temporarily, and it is unknown how much damage it will cause to the emperor's dragon body.

How can the king of a country use the evil elixir made by the barbarian chieftain?

Yu Linlang held up her tablet again and walked out of the team with a serious expression, bowing and saying, "Lord Xu, I have to remind you. The topic we are discussing now is the case of the Pei family's human trafficking, not whether His Majesty the Emperor should take the pills of the Barbarian Chieftain!"

"You've completely deviated from the topic! And you've gone too far! Colleagues, I have to say something to you. This strategy of changing the subject is very easy to see through! Don't be so petty in the future!"

The Sixth Prince suppressed his laughter and coughed lightly, lowering his head and saying, "Lord Yuhu is right. Father, everyone, let's get back to the Pei family case first."

The emperor frowned and said, "This case will be fully investigated by the Dali Temple."

Mu Zhao stepped out of the team with an expressionless face. Prince Pingkang, who was standing near him, twitched his mouth for no reason when he saw that this guy had moved.

"Your Majesty, I want to report Prime Minister Pei for not managing his family properly and allowing his son to commit crimes. He has disregarded the laws of Great Qi, the authority of the monarch and the country, and has committed a heinous crime that is unforgivable."

Everyone:...

Yu Linlang immediately added, "I strongly second this proposal."

Ximen Bugui barely even looked at his son. He took a step forward with his tablet in hand and spoke calmly, "I think this matter is of great importance, and it has been going on for more than ten years. It's a long time, and there are so many victims! If we want to investigate this matter, we will probably face many obstacles if we rely on the Dali Temple alone."

"Your Majesty must appoint some people to assist in this matter, otherwise the Dali Temple will not be able to fully investigate the truth."

Liang Guang, the Dali Temple official, felt like he was on a roller coaster, rising and falling, and soaring into the sky...

Hearing this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that what Lord Ximen said is indeed true. This case has been going on for too long and involves too many people. I hope Your Majesty will give us some manpower to assist us."

The emperor looked at the ministers below with a cold face. Those ministers who had just shouted in a mess, "Your Majesty should not use medicine", had now retreated into the team and did not say a word.

He stared at the Dali Temple Minister for a long time, then suddenly turned to look at Mu Zhao and inexplicably changed the subject, "I heard that the Crown Prince is getting healthier recently?"

Mu Zhao responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My humble servant's health has indeed improved a little."

"That's perfect. Let Lord Mu and the Dali Temple handle this case. I will also transfer 300 people from the Wude Division to you, and let Lord Huo help you. In this way, will there be any resistance?"

Liang Guang quickly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Zhao smiled faintly, "I will do my best to live up to your grace."

The emperor looked coldly at Yu Linlang, who was about to retreat back into the team, and called her, "Yu Hu, what do you think?"

What do I think? How can I see it?
"I strongly second this motion."
