In fact, what Qi An wanted to say was that the poisonous woman was in charge of the backyard, but he felt that it was inappropriate for him to say that with the emperor sitting nearby, so he changed his words.
Yang Wen cleared his throat when he heard this, "What do you do after you take a bath or take a break?"
"You have to ask this?" Qi An looked at Yang Wen doubtfully.
[Haha, it’s started, it’s started. 】
"Tell me, tell it clearly."
Qi'an nodded, looked at the torture instruments hanging on the wall, and said, "Then I told you, sir, you are not allowed to torture me."
Yang Wen: "..."
He is not the kind of person who will give in to punishment. As long as he is honest, he will naturally not use torture.
"No, just say it!"
Qi'an was silent for a moment, and then said after organizing his words: "I will go to see my youngest son and my wife after work every day to play with the children. I will not be in the house when I take a bath."
"Madam and young son?" Yang Wen wondered. Aren't his wife and son in prison?
[No wonder people say that Qi Shilang is stubborn. Fortunately, he has such a stubborn streak, which prevents the Ministry of Revenue from becoming a small treasury for King Yueqing to make money. 】
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he now knew that King Yueqing had a disloyal heart, he could not move him.
When he inherited the throne, his father left him a legacy.
As long as King Yueqing did not commit rebellion, he could not be attacked. After all, he was only a younger brother.
The King of Yueqing should also know about this edict, otherwise he wouldn't just use some unscrupulous means behind his back.
Now we are waiting for King Yueqing to lose his composure and force him to actually commit rebellion. Otherwise, with his father's edict, it would not be wise to touch him rashly.
Qi An saw Yang Wen's confusion and quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. I originally wanted to divorce the woman who beat me, and she agreed and went to her parents' house with the divorce letter. But for some reason, she came back after a while, and she also collaborated with others. This son in prison is throwing dirty water on me."
Because of the dirty relationship between the two of them, he had a very difficult life during that period. Fortunately, meeting his wife made him feel that there was still hope for life. Unfortunately, he did not handle it properly and she could only live alone.
Seeing that Yang Wen didn't speak, Qi An thought he didn't believe it and continued:
"Your Majesty and your Majesty must believe me. Everything I say is true. Their account books in the Department of Accounts often make mistakes. I will stay and correct them after the value is dispersed. Then I have to go to accompany my wife and godson, and I have no time to take care of them. backyard."
[People made mistakes on purpose to make money, but you corrected them all. You still think it’s someone else’s fault. Don’t be too honest. 】
According to Luo'er, if Qi'an fulfilled his duties in official matters, there would be no need for a retrial.
This man has exposed all his past, and he really has something to say.
The emperor stood up and said, "Yang Wen, since Qi An has nothing to do with this matter, let him go. Go and interrogate the other two people. When the interrogation is over, post the signed confessions of the two and make them public."
This prevents the people from accusing him of being tyrannical.
"Your Majesty, Master Yang," Qi An was not only unhappy when he heard that he could leave, but also knelt down on the ground with a plop.
The emperor and Yang Wen were stunned on their knees.
"What do you mean?"
Aren't you happy to be let out?
[Definitely not happy, the only one waiting for him when he goes out is the Lord of Hell. 】
[However, Minister Qi is so stubborn and can easily offend others with his words. I wonder how he survives to this day? 】
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang, please let me live in the prison for now."
Qi An said and looked at the emperor, "To be honest, someone came to me before and said they could help me, but I fooled them. If I get out of the prison now, I'm afraid I will die."
Besides, he didn't want to involve his wife and child. He didn't expose the two of them in the past few years just because he wanted his son to grow up safely.
…
On the other side, Shen Huai started to worry when he returned to the house after going to court.
His wife forbade him to take a concubine, but he couldn't refuse the emperor's reward. How should he explain it to his wife?
"Dad, mother, you didn't call me when you were eating."
A charming voice came from outside the door, and Shen Yu walked in wearing a plain dress.
Her appearance is not stunning, but her skin is white, she knows how to clean it up, and she looks pretty and pleasant.
"It's Yu'er who's here," Shen Huai pulled back from his thoughts, and he and Mrs. Shen Du Lin looked at their daughter who came in, with doting looks on their faces.
Shen Yu sat down and said, "Dad and mother, are you afraid that your daughter will disturb you? You have to leave your daughter alone even when you are having a meal."
"You, you," Du Lin raised her hand and tapped the tip of her nose, "don't rely on your father to favor you just so you can tease your mother, you are not a child anymore."
Shen Huaixiao looked at the two of them, shook his head and laughed.
"Yu'er is indeed a big girl."
Shen Yu raised her hand to take Du Lin's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad and mother want to marry off their daughter as soon as possible. Don't you want to see your daughter?"
While the family of three was having a good time, a maid hurried in from the door.
"Master, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Du Lin didn't notice anything was wrong with the maid, and smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, sir?"
She stood up and said, "Just go out and come in."
Shen Huai knew something was wrong when the maid came in. He originally wanted to wait until after dinner to tell Du Lin, but he didn't expect the palace people to come so quickly.
"People from the palace?" Shen Yu blinked, "Isn't it a reward for dad? Let's go out and have a look."
…
Eunuch Cao waited for a while before seeing three people coming out to greet him.
Du Lin noticed at a glance the woman standing behind Eunuch Cao. She had fair skin and an excellent figure. She looked to be at most twenty years old.
A bad feeling came into her mind.
"Master Shen is so negligent about the emperor's reward?" Eunuch Cao stared at Shen Huai displeased.
After being made to wait for so long, he still wanted to go back to watch the interrogation of Qi An.
I didn’t hear everything last time, so the interrogation might be more interesting.
"I don't dare, my subordinates."
"In this case, Qingrong will be a member of your house from now on."
Qingrong walked forward obediently and saluted. When she raised her eyes, Du Lin noticed that she had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
Her eyes are so full that even a man might not be able to resist her, plus she has an excellent figure.
Shen Yu was so angry that he wanted to step forward, but luckily Du Lin grabbed him.
She snorted coldly and cursed Hu Meizi in her heart.
He also wanted to ruin the lives of their family of three.
After Eunuch Cao left, Shen Yu was completely shocked.
"Mom, this person is Hu Meizi, why don't you let me tell you?"
She had been pampered and raised since she was a child. There was no one else in her father's backyard except her mother. Wasn't she acting like this deliberately to be hostile to others?
Du Lin's expression didn't look much better. She glanced at Shen Huai and turned around to leave.
Qingrong looked at her nose and heart, her lips curling up into a subtle smile.
She hasn't done anything yet, but the people in the Shen Mansion are really frustrated.
