Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 39 The Bullied Marquis Orphan
The maid picked up the chopsticks, and tapped lightly on the wine glass. With the sound of "ding ding dong dong", the peony was sent quickly in everyone's hands.Murong Jing smiled and watched the peony fall up and down, and finally when it was almost in Chu Lingyue's hands, he flipped his wrist lightly, and a small stone was sucked up by him, and then with a little force, the stone flew towards Chu Lingyue. I missed that little maid.

The knocking stopped, and the peony just fell into Chu Lingyue's hands.

Looking at the peony in her hand, Chu Lingyue was a little helpless. Sure enough, good luck would not favor one person all the time. She Shi Shiran stood up, picked up the wine glass in front of her and said, "Ling Yue has no skills, and she is showing shame when she comes out. Beauté to show sincerity."

The wine glass was stopped before it touched the lips, and it was stopped by two people at the same time. Meng Yanhe and Ji Huiyu stood up at the same time and picked up the wine glass in front of them.

"Miss Chu is injured today, and I'm afraid she is taking medicine. How is this drink?" Ji Huiyu spoke first, and Meng Yanhe nodded in agreement.

Only then did a group of people realize that Chu Lingyue hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol today.

Murong Jing smiled and turned her eyes between the three of them. Dong Yuran lay down on the table in a daze, otherwise she would definitely beat him up when she looked at him with this look.

Perhaps it was the reason why Ji Huiyu was on good terms with several people on weekdays. Everyone didn't think too much about it, and after punishing Ji Huiyu for three drinks, they let him go.

In the end, the banquet was over, and Chu Lingyue returned to Weiyuanhou's Mansion, but when she got off the car at the door, she saw Lu Hengtao also brought Lu Mingmei back.

"Father is back." Chu Lingyue bowed and saluted, looking at Lu Hengtao who was expressionless.

Lu Hengtao didn't see Chu Lingyue at the banquet, so he knew that it was Princess Fengyang who left him in the back house. He also saw Li Chujun at the banquet, and when he heard him talking about Chu Lingyue, he immediately became a bit more thoughtful.

Chu Lingyue didn't know that Lu Hengtao had met Li Chujun, and saw that Lu Hengtao followed him into the house without any orders.

After returning to Linglong Courtyard, she took a comfortable bath and changed clothes before lying on the imperial concubine's couch in a daze.

Murong Jing did not have such a beautiful day, and was dragged away by Li Zhuo as soon as he came out of Meng Guogong's mansion.Just after noon, people on the road were still in a hurry, Li Zhuo and Murong Jing arrived at Miyue Tower in a carriage.

Arriving at the private room on the second floor, Xiaoer obediently retreated after serving tea and snacks.After the two of them were left in the room, Li Zhuo pulled Murong Jing and did not let go.

"Young Lord, Young Lord, you have to talk to me. Two days ago, a master from Cangzhou reported with conclusive evidence that Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was tyrannical and killed several tenants. .”

Murong Jing felt strange when he heard this, Li Yao would never ask him about such things on weekdays.He reported this kind of thing directly to the emperor. Why did he bring it up and ask him? It must be because of some ways that he couldn't get an idea.

"This matter isn't difficult, isn't it? Why are you so hesitant today?" Murong Jing took a sip of tea, woke up and leaned lazily on the nanmu chair, looking at Li Zhuo with a half-smile.

"No, it's not that this matter is difficult. It's just that this matter is weird. I asked the master why he didn't find the local governor to impeach him. The master said that the governor had already hooked up with local officials and Sun Shangshu. You can’t trust me. Then I was curious, the lower officials have never been well-known, why this old gentleman believed me. Then the old gentleman took out a letter, which said that I can believe it!” Li Zhuo Shaking his gray beard a little displeased, "Isn't it clear that someone is using me as a pawn!"

The original problem is here!
Murong Jing tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she always felt that this matter had something to do with Chu Lingyue.Thinking about the recent ups and downs, he finally understood where Chu Lingyue was holding back his energy.

But he didn't say anything, and poured a cup of tea for Li Zhuo and said leisurely: "My lord is afraid of being used as a gunman? As a censor, your lord is a gun, a gun that pierces the darkness of this world." My lord, let me ask, don't you want to impeach Sun Shangshu?"

"Eh..." This question was right on point. Li Zhuo had always been displeased with Sun Shangshu, but because Sun Shangshu was always impeccable in his work, he couldn't get a handle on it, so the two of them lived in peace.

"Sun Shangshu's such a big matter this time will be exposed sooner or later. Moreover, the emperor has already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Mr. Sun. You think, Mr. Sun's daughter, Sun Qionghe, has no media and no employment, and has become a servant's concubine , and the granddaughter of Mr. Sun even pushed his daughter-in-law out to block the knife. The Minister of Rites pays the least attention to etiquette, how can the emperor not be angry. If my lord does not listen to Datian about this matter today, I will not blame the emperor in the future Intercede for you."

These words are a bit rascal, but Li Zhuo is very convinced.For nothing else, who in the capital doesn't know about the fact that the orphan girl in the Hou's mansion is being bullied?First, only a few months after the mother died, the father took the outer room into the house.It's good if it's not righted, but it's not appropriate to leave it alone.Then it was reported that the concubine used the concubine's daughter to block the sword. If the concubine hadn't been used to being domineering in the mansion, she would definitely not be able to do such a nonsensical thing.Also, I heard that some time ago, someone put arsenic in the medicine bowl of that young lady.

Although she was not poisoned to death, it was hard for a little girl's family to go through such a thing.

"Just for the sake of this orphan girl, shouldn't my lord write this book?" Murong Jing pushed without a trace, finally making Li Zhuo make up his mind.

When he went to court the next day, Li Zhuo impeached Sun Jian, Minister of Rites, in the court.

"Your Majesty, three days ago, someone from Yushitai complained of grievances, saying that Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had privately enclosed the land, seized the land, and forced the tenants to death. I have sent people to Cangzhou to investigate. What I said is true. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!" As soon as Doctor Shi stepped out, the hall became quiet for a while.

Li Zhuo quickly came to do things safely. He belonged to the kind of person who had already prepared a cell for you at the Ministry of Criminal Justice when he impeached you. Few of the people who were caught by him could escape.

Li Fengyi felt a little headache when he saw him coming out of the queue, and he was a little angry when he heard what he said.Things have been complicated recently, and the spring harvest is approaching, but the drought in various places has increased, and the hungry people have been displaced, which made his head a big circle. A few days ago, an express decree was issued, and all state capitals must open warehouses to release food and actively provide disaster relief. At the same time, the decree is here During this period, rich and powerful families colluded with government and businessmen to buy land at low prices, resulting in farmers having no land to cultivate after the disaster.

Well, at this stall, Li Zhuo has the right to impeach Sun Jian, saying that he buys and sells land by force!
"Sun Shangshu, please explain to me carefully!" The emperor was furious, and immediately silenced the hall of government affairs.

Sun Jian came out, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I have learned from you that I have never done such a rebellious thing, and it must have been falsely accused by local troublemakers!"

"My lord Sun, can this official still frame you? Three days ago, I sent a censor to Cangzhou to investigate, and the evidence returned was exactly the same as that of the accuser. Even if the accuser and I framed you together, But it’s impossible for the common people in Cangzhou to make a false accusation together!” Li Zhuo became angry when he saw Sun Jian, who didn’t see the coffin and didn’t drop it, and with his old face flushed with anger, he saluted the emperor on the dragon chair and made a statement that was neither humble nor overbearing road.

"Your Majesty, the person who submitted the certificate was the master of the prefect of Cangzhou. The old man was over [-] years old, but he still traveled to the capital and even brought the wife and children of the tenants who were forced to death by Sun Shangshu's men as witnesses. Let me ask His Majesty, if the [-]-year-old man hadn't really suffered a serious grievance, why would he go to the capital so hard to sue this case? If the wife who stays at home hadn't had a difficult wish, why would she take her child on a long journey to show her face in public! "

Speaking of excitement, Li Zhuo even jumped a little.

Sun Jian secretly raised his eyes to glance at the emperor on the dragon chair, and when he saw his calm expression, he immediately yelled that something was wrong.Li Fengyi has been on the throne for more than 30 years, and all the veterans in the court know that if the emperor gets angry, maybe you still have a way to survive, but if your face is expressionless, it's over, and you might have to go to prison at noon.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about this at all. I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me!" Sun Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is an old fritter. No minister in the court has done this kind of thing. I am afraid that Li Zhuo is the only one who has never done it. Jingle did not work.Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing just passes by with one eye closed. As long as it doesn't make too much trouble, it's my housekeeper in Cangzhou or someone else who did it. I'll be fine myself.

"I don't know? I don't think so?" Murong Jing interjected with a smile, and Sun Jian felt hairy in his heart, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is the person who knows the most etiquette in the court, but he really doesn't know etiquette in handling this matter recently. a bit."

Murong Jing knew the etiquette for a while, and for a while he didn't know the etiquette and alluded to the recent events. Sun Jian lay on the ground shaking like sifting chaff, and the people around him didn't dare to say a few good words if they wanted to help. .

"Your Majesty, I still have something to play." Li Zhuo took another step forward without fear of death, and repeated what everyone knew, "Master Sun, as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many years. The matter is indeed too rude. The goddaughter has no way, and the first daughter has no match and no employment to serve as a foreign room. She came into the house within a year of the mistress's new funeral. It is very contemptible! What's more, the granddaughter is still in the house. On the street, the elder sister of the prostitute was pushed out to be an assassin! Such behavior is really unconvincing!"

Of course the emperor knew what Li Zhuo said, especially the fact that Lu Mingmei pushed Chu Lingyue out to block the knife was also mentioned in the court.It is the family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who don't pay attention to etiquette, justice, integrity and shame!
Things have all come together, and Sun Jian deserves to be unlucky.
