My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 130 Ren Weizhi, Downfall
This slap not only stunned Ren Weizhi.

Emperor Jianhong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also had a gloomy face.

"presumptuous!"

The pressure from Si Zhongxiao pressed down on Bai Ziqing.

This pressure alone caused the entire hall to fall into silence.

Bai Ziqing’s face turned pale.

Another mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

His body began to stagger.

My legs couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this scene, Jianhong looked at Si Zhongxiao expressionlessly.

With just one look, Si Zhongxiao bent his body, put away the pressure on himself, and silently retreated behind his chair, like an extremely obedient old dog.

Bai Ziqing, at the age of only twenty-two, was already a fourth-rank warrior.

He is the most promising genius in the entire Great Saint Dynasty to break through to the third level before the age of thirty.

The position he holds in Emperor Jianhong's heart is unmatched by ordinary people.

"His Majesty."

Bai Ziqing tremblingly took out a blood-stained document from his arms.

He glanced coldly at the bewildered Ren Weizhi.

Then he staggered to the bottom of the dragon throne and knelt on the ground, his voice full of misery:

"This Ren Weizhi colluded with the demon clan and secretly connected with the spies of the Eastern Religion. He wanted to bury thunder powder in the Jishui Weir in Liangjiang County! He wanted to destroy the Jishui Weir directly!!"

? ?
this sentence.

It made everyone's brain smoke.

What do you mean?
The next moment.

All the ministers in the court looked at Ren Weizhi solemnly.

Prime Minister Li Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of danger flashing in his eyes, and looked towards Ren Weizhi.

The eunuch Si Zhongxiao, who was in charge of writing, didn't care much at first, but after hearing this, he lowered his chin slightly and his eyes no longer looked towards the hall.

Instead, he lowered his head with a submissive look. No one knew what he was thinking.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

No one dared to speak carelessly at this time.

"Oh?"

Emperor Jianhong's body suddenly leaned forward, his eyes like blades, staring at Bai Ziqing:
"Is what you said true?"

Bai Ziqing looked at Jianhong in disbelief.

She seemed hurt by his doubt.

He was on the verge of crying blood, and he knocked his head to the ground, deliberately not using his martial arts energy to protect his body, and a streak of blood appeared on his forehead.

His voice was hoarse and sad:

"After the Green Viper case, I followed His Majesty's orders and pursued the Eastern Religion spy. He went straight south, entering every city and county he encountered. When he arrived in Liangjiang County, he was met by an Eastern Religion disciple!"

"After I arrived, I saw that the two Eastern Sect disciples had already buried nearly three thousand kilograms of thunder powder!!"

At this point, he was already in tears:
"If I had not fought to the death, I'm afraid that the hundreds of millions of people in Fengqi Road would have already..."

"Almost...almost, I would never see Your Majesty again!!!"

Bai Ziqing learned the true skills from Zeng Anmin.

It was said in such a sad and graceful way that one could not help but sympathize with his situation.

"You are slandering me! Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Great Saint Dynasty, how can I collude with the demon tribe? How can I collude with the Eastern Religion?!"

Ren Weizhi knelt on the ground with a "thump". He stared at Bai Ziqing's miserable back, ignoring the black bruises and swelling on his face from the slap he had given him. He said in a hoarse and desolate voice:

"Without any evidence, can you frame an important official in the court like this?!"

"No evidence?!"

Bai Ziqing turned his head abruptly and stared at Ren Weizhi, his eyes almost emitting flames:

"I'm asking you, old man, how can the spies of the Eastern Religion pass freely in the territory of our Great Saint Dynasty? Could it be that the county towns along the way have been bribed by the spies?"

"Without your Ministry of Revenue's official travel permit, how could he have traveled all the way from the capital to Liangjiang County in just five days?!"

"Your Ministry of Revenue officials, from top to bottom, are all good-for-nothings?!!"

As soon as these words came out.

The faces of all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue changed.

None of the officials standing here are fools.

It is natural to see that Bai Ziqing must have suffered great injustice in Liangjiang County.

That's why he disregarded the emperor's majesty and exposed this heinous case directly to everyone in the court.

At this moment, Bai Ziqing couldn't hold back and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He covered his chest and collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes were still fixed on Ren Weizhi and all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Imperial Physician! The Imperial Physician is here!!"

At this time, a eunuch hurried over and brought the imperial physician into the hall.

Emperor Jianhong watched everything that happened indifferently.

He did not stop the imperial physician from sending people to carry Bai Ziqing away.

Nor did he set his sights on anyone.

He just slowly closed his eyes and tapped on the armrests of the dragon throne with his fingers.

I don't know what he is thinking about.

"Hurry up and take it away!"

The imperial physician gently felt Bai Ziqing's pulse, and his expression suddenly changed.
"The situation is critical! Quick!"

"No mistakes!"

"Yes!"

Several young eunuchs carried Bai Ziqing and walked out of the hall in a flash.

Before leaving.

Bai Ziqing shouted with all his strength:
"Ren Weizhi! Lou Yingqi! And all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue!! You are all ashamed of the people of this world!! You are ashamed of His Majesty!!"

The voice was hysterical.

After shouting this, he fainted extremely quickly.

……

above the hall.

Everyone was silent.

Only Daddy felt as if he had eaten ice honey in the dog days of summer.

What a comfort!
Especially Bai Ziqing’s last sentence.

It is a stroke of genius.

This is the effect you want!

Let’s drag the entire Ministry of Revenue into this first!
This way, there is more room for maneuver.

Emperor Jianhong looked gloomy.

He pondered for a while, and finally, he set his sights on Prime Minister Li Zhen, and said calmly:
"Lord, what do you think of this case?"

Li Zhen looked solemn and bowed deeply to Emperor Jianhong:
"Your Majesty, I think this should be thoroughly investigated."

"Bai Ti was suddenly involved in this case and suffered such a serious injury. It is normal for him to be biased. As for the Ministry of Revenue..."

Li Zhen slowly raised his head and looked at all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue standing in the hall, and his voice became heavy:
"Whether they have colluded with the demon clan or are they sheltering the Eastern Religion's spies, we must find out! We must restore order to the world!"

He didn't dare to have any ulterior motives at this time.

The case has come to light.

Bai Ziqing actually said it out loud in public.

That means it is impossible to cover it up anymore.

Collude with Eastern religion.

Collude with the demon clan.

These two charges were enough to get many high-ranking officials in the capital executed.

Who would dare to be careless at this time?

That will definitely become the target of public criticism!
Emperor Jianhong was also in deep thought.

Bai Ziqing's serious injuries didn't look fake at all.

No fourth-rank martial artist would risk disrupting his martial arts aura by slandering a mere Minister of Revenue.

Not to mention, Bai Ziqing is the most famous martial arts genius in Beijing today?
"Investigate! Jingzhao Prefecture, Dali Temple, and Imperial City Bureau, the three bureaus should help investigate this case together!"

Emperor Jianhong waved his hand, and he stood up suddenly, with a hint of coldness in his voice:
"Investigate thoroughly! I want to see how many people in this huge capital are not on my side!"

Emperor Jianhong looked at Ren Weizhi coldly.

At this moment, Ren Weizhi was still standing there in a daze.

He did not feel the cold gaze of Emperor Jianhong.

He now had a vague understanding in his mind.

Bai Ziqing!
He was driven by His Majesty and happened to ruin his plan? !

He stood straight where he was.

Meditate in your heart.

"Right now, we can only cut off our tail and survive."

Ren Weizhi had been in the court for a long time, so he naturally knew that if he continued to pester Zeng Shilin at this time, he would probably get into trouble.

"Dismiss the court!" Seeing that no one responded, Emperor Jianhong slowly stood up and walked out of the hall.

only……

"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

Zeng Shilin.

Dad.

He stood out from among the ministers calmly.

His expression did not change at all as he stood in front of the crowd.

A calm and relaxed look.

Regarding Zeng Shilin who suddenly appeared.

Everyone was stunned.

They all frowned and looked at him.

Some politically sensitive people even looked at Ren Weizhi with pity.

Ren Weizhi also looked confused.

Now that things have come to this, why is he still standing up?

Emperor Jianhong was slightly stunned.

Then he frowned and looked at Zeng Shilin:
"What's the matter?"

"I have accused the Minister of Revenue, Lou Yingqi, of embezzling disaster relief funds, which nearly led to the flood in Jiangnan two years ago."

???

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was confused.

Lou Yingqi? ?

Isn't that guy yours? !
Why did the fire burn on him again at this time?
Even at this moment, Emperor Jianhong was stunned.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

This……

What exactly is Zeng Shilin up to?
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop throughout the hall.

Just for a moment.

Even Lou Yingqi in the crowd was stunned.

He frowned and looked at his father's back.

Bro, what are you doing?
Why didn’t you say hello in advance?

"Lord Lou?"

Emperor Jianhong looked towards Lou Yingqi.

At this time, Lou Yingqi's brain was still in a state of shutdown, but his body's instinct had driven him to come before the ministers.

He took a deep breath, without even looking at Zeng Shilin, raised the tablet in his hand, and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Old man, what have you wronged?"

"I recorded every penny of the Ministry of Revenue's appropriations, but in the end, it still couldn't fill the bottomless pit. If it weren't for the princess' kindness and leading Liu Sanjiang of the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce to donate silver, the Jishui Weir would still not be repaired!"

Zeng Shilin looked at Lou Yingqi with disdain.

There was an attitude in his eyes to draw a clear line between himself and this thief.

"Your Majesty, the princess can testify for me that every single one of the deficits in the Ministry of Revenue is recorded."

Dad held his head high.

There was a look of pride on their faces.

Emperor Jianhong looked at Lou Yingqi silently.

Lou Yingqi sighed loudly: "Your Majesty, I am really wronged. The Ministry of Revenue has been in deficit for a long time, but I have not touched a single penny!"

"How can I pocket all this money that has gone against my conscience?!"

"I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter clearly!"

"You didn't embezzle the money, so why didn't you report it when you knew the Ministry of Revenue had already been in deficit?!"

"From my perspective, you are a beast in human form, you are corrupt and have formed a clique to embezzle!"

Dad himself didn't know why, but he was so smooth in scolding his teammates.

Almost every word came out of his mouth with saliva without even thinking.

Hear this.

Lou Yingqi immediately understood what his father meant.

He fell to his knees with a thump, and his voice became sad:
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't report it, but I don't dare to report it!!"

Emperor Jianhong also noticed a clue at this time.

But he couldn't see clearly.

He could only follow Lou Yingqi's lead and ask, "As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of our Great Sheng Dynasty, I can directly report to the emperor. Why don't you dare report it?!"

Lou Yingqi looked at Ren Weizhi with fear.

This head-turning action.

It makes people subconsciously feel confused.

But Ren Weizhi was horrified...

"Your Majesty, if I dare to report it, the fate of the children in the mansion... will be the fate of me!!"

Lou Yingqi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

His resolute old face was covered with snot and tears.

There were tears in the voice:

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Finance Ren Weizhi, and the criminal son Qi Wang... the evidence of embezzling the imperial government's disaster relief funds, if I really hand it over, I'm afraid I will be treated like Bai Tidu..."

"Bai Ti was a warrior, so he was able to escape with his life, but I am just a civil official, how can I hide?!"

When he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

His words clearly emphasized the four words "colluding with the demon clan".

It also gave Emperor Jianhong a reason!
A reason enough to kill Ren Weizhi.

Now, everything that happened in these days is clearly laid out in the open.

There was also a thoughtful look in Emperor Jianhong's eyes!
Ren Weizhi embezzled some money and was caught by Lou Yingqi.

Then he colluded with the demon clan to intimidate and threaten Lou Yingqi.

Lou Yingqi was "lucky" enough to have the Green Viper case solved by Bai Ziqing.

Saved his son.

At this time, he knew the dangerous situation of being alone in the court, so he tried to make friends with Zeng Shilin.

All the evidence in hand was also handed over to Zeng Shilin.

Ren Weizhi simply colluded with the Eastern Religionists to blow up the Jishui Weir and frame Zeng Shilin...

As for why Zeng Shilin chose to start with Lou Yingqi today instead of directly firing at Ren Weizhi.

It's very simple, it's just a show in front of yourself.

It can also be said that it is to avoid suspicion.

It is a taboo for every emperor for important officials in the court to make friends with each other...

One pile, one piece.

It is clearly laid out before our eyes.

Even if someone lied.

But the injuries on Bai Ziqing's body were clearly visible!
It's impossible to fake it!
After pondering for a while, Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his head.

He looked directly at Ren Weizhi.

There was a hint of grimness in his eyes.

This glance.

That's enough to explain it all.

Let it be done.

Not long to live.

Today, whether it is Bai Ziqing or Lou Yingqi.

The appearance of these two people has pointed all the evidence to Ren Weizhi.

"As for today's incident, I am waiting for the Imperial City Division to investigate the case."

"Retreat!"

Emperor Jianhong didn't even look at Ren Wei anymore.

He stood up straight and walked towards the back.

Until the figure slowly disappeared.

……

"Whoo~"

"Brother, you almost scared me to death just now."

After leaving the court, Lou Yingqi wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Zeng Shilin in front of him with lingering fear.

Zeng Shilin just smiled softly.

"Brother Lou, prepare to get promoted and make a fortune in the near future."

After saying that, the old man stepped on the carriage and entered it with the help of the servants.
Only Lou Yingqi was left, watching the carriage slowly moving forward with a look of admiration on his face.
