Chapter 1226 The imp is difficult to deal with
The Baoyue Tower incident was not too complicated. In addition, Suning had an omnipotent God's perspective, so he naturally controlled all the key figures at the first time and obtained the detailed accounts of Baoyue Tower's human trafficking and forced prostitution.

So Suning immediately took all the evidence and the old golden head to the palace. The reason why he personally brought the old golden head to meet Emperor Qing, the master of Nanqing, was because Suning wanted to see how Emperor Qing would deal with the Baoyue Tower incident.

Su Ning naturally noticed that Old Jintou beside him was feeling uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but comfort him with a cheerful face, "Old Jintou, relax, don't be afraid! Whether you can save your daughter depends on today."

"Sir Prefect, didn't your Kyoto government rescue my daughter? Can't you just let her go home and reunite with me?" However, Old Jintou, who kept wiping his sweat, looked at Su Ning in front of him in confusion and asked.

"Old Jin, aren't you afraid that the mastermind behind this will kill you to silence you?" However, Su Ning asked back with a sneer.

"This..." As expected, Old Jin reacted immediately after his mind was aroused. This was the reason why the people did not fight against the officials.

You have to know that the common people in all dynasties are Ah Qs, who can only endure the injustice in the world by using the method of spiritual victory. Gradually, they develop the bad habit of thinking that suffering a loss is a blessing, and even things that can be solved with money are not a big deal. This is also the fundamental reason why the common people have the strongest ability to bear.

At this moment, Su Ning looked at the old man in front of him with compassion and said, "In the eyes of these people, your lives are worthless. Only by completely eliminating them can you and your daughter live safely."

"..."

"When you see the Emperor later, just tell him your story truthfully. A great man like the Emperor won't care about your manners."

"Yes! Your Excellency, you are truly the great judge of our people."

"Old Jintou, today's case is my first since taking office as prefect. Naturally, I want to make sure that the title of "honest judge" is well-deserved. So whether we can succeed immediately depends entirely on you. When that happens, no one in Kyoto Prefecture will dare to oppress the good anymore."

"..." At this time, Old Jintou naturally seemed to understand, but he knew in his heart that Suning was risking everything.

Old Jintou, who had been honest all his life, had never seen such a noble person. Naturally, he made up his mind in his heart that he must tell everything clearly today.

Suning led Old Jintou to the door of the imperial study smoothly, then looked at the puzzled Eunuch Hou and explained, "Eunuch Hou, please go in and report to the emperor. There is a shocking case that needs to be reported to the emperor as soon as possible."

"Yes! Your Highness, please wait a moment." Eunuch Hou looked at Old Jintou with a searching look on his face, then turned and walked into the imperial study.

Soon, Eunuch Hou returned again, looked at Su Ning in front of him and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to go in now."

"Thank you, Eunuch Qian, for leading the way."

"Your Highness, you are welcome."

Now, every time Eunuch Qian sees Suning, he smiles from the bottom of his heart. After all, Suning has brought him so many benefits. Anyone who sees the God of Wealth will be able to smile happily.

Eunuch Qian took Su Ning and Old Jintou to the imperial study, and then they saw Emperor Qing who was studying something. What happened today will definitely detonate the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

……

At this moment, the imperial study was eerily quiet, with only the sound of Emperor Qing flipping through the account books and evidence. However, Emperor Qing's heart could not calm down for a long time.

At this time, Old Jintou was so scared that his whole body was trembling. His mind was blank and he didn't know how to respond. It was not until he looked at Suning beside him that he felt a little relieved. After all, there was someone tall to hold up the sky if it collapsed.

Although Lao Jintou's main job is to deliver food to the imperial palace, the people he usually comes into contact with are the "little devils" raised by the royal family. How could he dare to hope to meet Emperor Qing, the master of Nanqing? It feels like he has used up all the good fortune of ten lifetimes today.

Emperor Qing, after putting down the evidence, looked at Su Ning meaningfully, realizing that his sons were definitely not simple people. "Sixth Brother, it seems you have been following this matter for a while, otherwise it would not be possible to do it so cleanly and efficiently."

However, Suning confessed everything without any joy or sadness. After all, only by confessing everything could he avoid getting into trouble. "Your Majesty, please understand! This Baoyue Tower project was originally the work of Versace of the Sinanbo Fan family.

Before Erchen went north on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, Versace approached him and wanted to cooperate with him to open Baoyue Tower.

However, he was severely punished by his son-in-law. At the same time, Si Nanbo Fan Jian also severely punished Fan Sizhe with a stick.

Logically speaking, the matter should have come to an end, but someone took advantage of Versace's greed for money and, while his son and Fan Xian were not in Kyoto, persuaded the Third Prince to take over the project.

For this purpose, he even took great pains to arrange a position of accountant for Versace and promised to give Versace 30% of the profits.

Because both Versace and the Third Prince did not understand business, this person planned for the Third Prince to borrow the courtesan Yuan Meng from Prince Jing's son, Li Hongcheng.

Then, Yuan Meng used the names of the Third Prince and Versace to wantonly persecute the common people and force women into prostitution. In the end, all the stigma was borne by the Third Prince and Versace."

"Oh? Who is this old man?" After knowing the whole story, Emperor Qing turned to look at Old Golden Head beside him.

"Victim! You can show Father a huge chain of interests. Anyone caught in the crossfire will never escape, and Old Jintou is the direct victim of this chain."

"..."

At this moment, Su Ning turned to look at the uneasy Old Jintou and said, "Old Jintou, tell His Majesty everything that happened to you. He will naturally come to seek justice for you."

Old Jintou hurriedly tried to explain with trembling voice, but slowly began to sob, "Yes... yes! I was originally an ordinary citizen selling vegetables, but ever since I took on the business of delivering vegetables to the palace, my family has owed the Vegetable Inspection Bureau more and more money."

"How can this be true? Instead of making money by delivering vegetables to the palace, we are in debt." At this moment, Emperor Qing's brain completely froze. He didn't expect that there would be such a ridiculous thing.

"Your Majesty, every time the Vegetable Inspection Office complained that the vegetables I sent weren't fresh, that I was insincere and guilty of deceiving the emperor, they would fine me. The fines only kept increasing, so in the end I ended up owing the Vegetable Inspection Office five hundred taels. In desperation, Eunuch Dai from the Vegetable Inspection Office forced me to sell my children, and even sold my daughter to Baoyue Tower, only then was I able to pay off all my debts to the Vegetable Inspection Office."

"Ridiculous! Can't I just not send it?"

"No way! Eunuch Dai from the Vegetable Inspection Department said it was disrespectful to the royal family." At this time, Old Jintou shook his head with a bitter face. The oppression of power made it impossible for the common people to breathe.

"Humph! It seems these little brats are clearly playing with my power."

At this time, Su Ning asked Eunuch Qian to take Old Jintou away. He knew that the fewer people who knew about what was going to happen next, the better. "Eunuch Qian, please take Old Jintou out and wait."

"Yes! Your Highness."

After Eunuch Qian and the sorrowful old man left, Su Ning once again produced a series of evidence against the Second Prince. "Father, during this diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, I also found evidence of the eldest princess and the Second Prince engaging in smuggling with the Northern Qi Jinyiwei. Here are the detailed accounts of the smuggling and the confessions of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei."

"..." "In addition, the Second Prince killed people in Shijia Town to eliminate evidence, and then the Crown Prince added insult to injury and burned and massacred evidence in Shijia Town."

Looking at the clear evidence before his eyes, Emperor Qing was momentarily bewildered. "Sixth Brother, what result do you want?"

"Of course it depends on the will of my father." However, Su Ning pushed everything onto Emperor Qing in front of him.

"Sixth Brother, you've given your father, the Emperor, a difficult problem!"

"..."

……

Although the evidence presented by Suning this time was very detailed, Emperor Qing still maintained an indifferent attitude, because the life and death of ordinary people were nothing in his eyes. It was impossible for those in power to truly understand those low-status people.

However, Emperor Qing took advantage of the situation to eliminate the power of the second prince Li Chengze, turning him into a toothless little tiger. As for the eldest princess Li Yunrui, she was placed under house arrest again before she was recalled to Kyoto.

Of course, Chen Pingping from the Inspection Institute also contributed to this. He happened to find out the evil relationship between the prince and the eldest princess, which naturally made Emperor Qing furious. He even thought of deposing Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

Li Hongcheng, the prince of Prince Jing who was involved in the case, was also exiled to the northern border to join the army. As for Eunuch Dai and Yuan Meng and his gang, they were all beheaded in public. In the eyes of Emperor Qing, these "little ghosts" were like ants.

The greedy Versace was also sentenced to exile by Emperor Qing. Unfortunately, Versace had already escaped to Northern Qi with the help of Fan Xian, and it was impossible for him to return to Southern Qing for the rest of his life.

However, Versace's father Fan Jian had to bear some of the consequences and was directly fined a whole year's salary by the angry Emperor Qing.

As for the third prince, he was not punished by Emperor Qing. It can be seen that Emperor Qing had a different attitude towards this son a long time ago. However, after this incident, he was no longer eligible for the throne. If he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity like in the original drama, it would be even more impossible.

Fan Xian looked at Su Ning with a face full of shame, feeling somewhat unworthy of Su Ning's appreciation. "Your Highness, I'm sorry! I still didn't stick to my bottom line."

"Then don't emphasize your great benevolence and righteousness anymore, because that will make you seem too hypocritical." However, Su Ning gently pointed out Fan Xian.

"Huh? Yes! Your Highness, Fan Xian understands."

"Alas! This incident caused great harm to the Second Prince Li Chengze. I have officially broken off relations with him. We can no longer be brothers when we meet again."

"Your Highness, it seems you are right now! Even with so much evidence, we can't capture the Second Prince. It would be meaningless if I took action early."

"Well, I'm glad you understand! The Second Prince is finished now, but there is only one way left for him."

"what?"

"rebel."

"Huh? That's not the case, is it?"

"The Second Prince is absolutely right. If an ordinary family fails in their fight for the family inheritance, at most they will lose face. But if a royal family member fails, they will lose their life. And with the Second Prince's temperament, he will naturally fight with great fanfare."

"..."

In fact, as to whether the second prince Li Chengze will rebel, or when he will rebel, it is no longer something that Su Ning should consider. Anyway, the people who should worry about this are Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping of the Inspection Institute.

At this time, Suning returned to his Taiping Villa. Anyway, the fire had already started completely, and how the fire would eventually develop was naturally not Suning's business.

Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er both came out to greet him with surprise, "Your Highness, you are finally back?"

"What's wrong? You missed me after not seeing me for a few months, right?" However, Suning teased the two beautiful women.

At this moment, Fan Ruoruo looked at Su Ning with a tragic expression on her face, "Your Highness, my brother sent my brother, Fan Sizhe, to Northern Qi. I don't know if he will ever be able to return to Kyoto in this lifetime."

"Northern Qi is only slightly colder than our Southern Qing. As long as you obey the law, you can live comfortably. Besides, your brother was able to send Versace to Northern Qi, so he must have already made arrangements there."

"Well, my father and I didn't expect him to be so bold. Your warning to him was of no use at all."

"That's just a lucky mentality! He thinks he's just an accountant who takes the money, but he doesn't realize it's just a foolish act of covering his ears and stealing the bell."

"Hey! It's good that he can learn a lesson this time, so that he won't think that the world can't control him."

"Well, have you made arrangements for Shen Rong, whom I brought back from Northern Qi this time?"

"Don't worry! Wan'er and I don't have to be responsible at all. Si Lili has already arranged everything properly."

"That's good! I'll spend some quality time with you guys tonight."

As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage, and the three people who have not yet been married are in love, so Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er both greeted Su Ning crazily in the evening.

Of course, Suning's strength is now endless. It is easy to deal with the two women, Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er. In the end, Fan Ruoruo had to call for a stop, and also called Si Lili and Shen Rong to share the pressure.

He had dealt a swift and critical blow to the Second Prince Li Chengze's faction, so he naturally felt physically and mentally happy and refreshed. Therefore, he also used 100% of his strength when dealing with the four women at night.

"Your Highness, when can we get married?"

"After the eldest prince and the eldest princess of Northern Qi get married!"

"Your Highness, is the Princess of Northern Qi beautiful?"

"No! Fan Xian is in charge of the mission's affairs. I have never met the Grand Princess of Northern Qi."
