Chapter 691: Start the house raiding mode!
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
"Where are the others?"
Mu Qingcheng opened the bed curtain and looked at the empty hall and the touch of red on the bed with a complicated expression.
"You mean...Master Shen?"
"He ransacked his home. Master Shen asked his servant to tell His Majesty... so that..."
"on what ground?"
"From now on... my son can take your last name..."
"asshole!"
Mu Qingcheng looked ashamed and angry. With a wave of his hand, he asked all the slaves to go down. He walked to the mirror given by Ning Fan and took a look. His face seemed to be more moisturized than usual, and his whole body was radiant.
"Why!"
"This bastard, why am I so obsessed with this for a moment!"
Thinking of Ning Fan's prowess last night, Her Majesty the Empress, who had just begun her career, couldn't help but feel excited. Then she turned red with shame and whispered: "Come here, please tell me that the Prime Minister will preside over this morning's court."
"promise!"
…
Early morning.
All the civil and military officials had been waiting in the palace for a long time, but their Majesty was nowhere to be seen. Only a female official came hurriedly.
"His Majesty has spoken, I am ill and will hand over the morning court to the Prime Minister."
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Prime Minister Cheng Jinrong bowed respectfully, strode to the imperial steps, faced the officials and asked, "Everyone, do you have anything to report?"
"Prime Minister!"
The Minister of Rites was the first to come out, with a rather unkind expression on his face and said: "I have my own book to report!"
"Last night, Mr. Shi, the Minister of Rites, had his house ransacked by Phoenix Tower. Now all the family members, including children, are in jail. Is there any explanation for this matter?"
"oh?"
Cheng Jinrong's face was also full of surprise. Has the house of the Minister of Rites been ransacked?
Is this happening?
"Is this happening?"
"This...what crime did Mr. Shi commit that his house was confiscated?"
"What happened? I, Dali, have not had my family confiscated or killed in more than ten years."
All the civil and military officials looked shocked. Cheng Jinrong was in trouble for a while. He also didn't receive any news about this matter!
However, Phoenix Tower's raid on the house must have been under the orders of Her Majesty the Empress.
"The truth about this matter has just been heard."
"Xingbu, does Dali Temple know the reason?"
"this……"
"I don't know!"
The Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple both looked at each other in shock. His Majesty did not even say hello to them beforehand!
"Nonsense!"
"Master Shi is a third-rank official in the current dynasty. Now, it would be too childish to just raid the family for no reason!"
"Yes, even if Mr. Shi is really guilty, he should be handed over to Dali Temple for review."
Seeing the civil and military officials talking incessantly, Cheng Jinrong rubbed his head tiredly: "Where is Mr. Shen of Phoenix Tower now!?"
"Back to the Prime Minister, on the way to the palace, the official seemed to have heard talk on the street that Phoenix Tower had raided the house again."
"What!"
Not only Cheng Jinrong looked stunned, but all the civil and military personnel were stunned on the spot.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
I saw Ning Fan striding into the hall with tiger steps, looking around, and then smiled playfully: "My lords, are you all here?"
"It just so happens that Shen also comes to visit one by one!"
"Master Shen, I heard that you ransacked the house of Master Shi Chong, the Minister of Rites, last night?"
"good!"
Ning Fan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Master Shi is still being interrogated in my Phoenix Tower Prison!"
"snort!"
"Shen Yu, what crime did Mr. Shi commit that caused you to make such a big fuss?"
"Who is this?"
"I am the Minister of Criminal Affairs..."
"oh!"
Ning Fan directly threw the evidence of Shi Chong's collusion with the enemy towards the minister. The latter glanced at Ning Fan with a cold face, glanced at it quickly, and suddenly looked extremely ugly.
"This...are these all true?"
"As the Minister of Justice, you don't have the ability to distinguish at all?"
"But...Shi Chong..."
Cheng Jinrong took all the evidence in his hands with a solemn expression. After looking through it, his expression became extremely ugly: "It is not a pity for Shi Chong to die if he betrays his master and seeks glory."
"This...Shi Chong actually had an affair with Da Yan?"
"How is this possible!"
"Yes, Shi Chong has always been courteous and conscientious in the Ministry of Rites. How could he..."
Ning Fan's face was filled with a sneer, and he said lightly: "Shi Chong's treason, the evidence is conclusive. I am following His Majesty's decree and in accordance with our Dali law to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Do you have any objections?"
"Master Shen!"
"Even if Shi Chong is guilty, he should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial. Did you, the Phoenix Tower, exceed your authority?"
"hehe!"
"Can Dali Temple be greater than His Majesty's imperial edict?"
"Shi Chong collaborated with the enemy. Now Dali and Dayan are fighting a bloody battle in the north. Do we have to wait until Shi Chong spreads the news and then hand it over to your Dali Temple for trial?"
"Can……"
The Minister of Dali Temple still wanted to talk, but Cheng Jinrong waved his hand slightly: "Master Shen's move is in accordance with His Majesty's decree, and you don't need to discuss it further."
"Prime Minister, I still have something to report!"
"oh?"
Cheng Jinrong looked at Ning Fan with a puzzled look on his face, and saw the latter looking at the Minister of Dali Temple with a smile: "Master Wang, I heard that you have made a fortune recently, and your hometown is undergoing major construction projects?"
"You...how did you know?"
Wang Haochen looked at Ning Fan with a look of fear on his face. This matter was extremely secretive, but now looking at Mr. Shen's playful expression, it was obvious that he was coming with bad intentions.
"snort!"
"Wang Haochen, the Minister of the Dali Temple, has been corrupt, abused his power, and let the court criminals go. Do you know your crime?"
"You!"
Wang Haochen's eyes showed a bit of panic, but he tried his best to remain calm and said: "Shen Yu, this is in the court, in front of all the officials, don't slander me!"
"Hehe!"
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, why don't you take a look at this account book first!"
"What is this?"
Wang Haochen just glanced at it quickly, and suddenly felt like he fell into an ice cellar: "You... what is this?"
"I don't understand!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Ning Fan grinned: "I have already put you The treasury of your family has been confiscated. Your family members are waiting for you in prison now!"
"What did you say?"
"Who gave you the courage? I am..."
Before Wang Haochen finished speaking, he heard Ning Fan say loudly: "Come here, arrest Wang Haochen for me."
"Wait!"
Cheng Jinrong walked up to Ning Fan with a gloomy face: "Lord Shen, what's going on?"
"Wang Haochen embezzled and accepted bribes, colluded with local people, and Wang Haochen secretly supported Lingyou Wang's rebellion."
"What!"
Not only Cheng Jinrong's face changed slightly, but all the officials also looked at Wang Haochen in shock.
"Slander!"
"Prime Minister, this is blatant slander."
"Stop barking like a dog!" Ning Fan watched Qin Hei and Mu Shao stride into the hall, and smiled playfully: "Guess how much gold and silver was seized from Lord Wang's treasury?"
"A full 1.2 million taels!"
"Haha!"
Qin Hei and Mu Shao walked tremblingly in front of Ning Fan, and saw their boss waved his hand and pressed Wang Haochen to the ground without saying a word, their legs still trembling.
What place is this?
The power center of Dali, they are two small runners, now in the hall in front of the civil and military officials to arrest a third-rank official.
Is it crazy?
