"That grandson has nothing to do. Let's impeach this princess. Let's talk about it. This princess will let you know what it means to seek death."
The domineering propaganda made those corrupt officials who originally wanted to watch the excitement shrink their necks instantly. Their biggest wish now is that the censor Wang Buzhong will not draw fire to them.
Censor Wang Buzhong also felt a little regretful. He didn't have to do this if he had nothing to do and wanted to be famous.
It's still too late to regret.
Li Mingda saw him
"You are the one who impeached this princess, right?"
Wang Buzhong: "Yes"
"Why are you impeaching this princess?"
Wang Buzhong repeated what he just said: "I impeach the princess for forcibly abducting three members of the Zhao family of Chang'an."
Li Mingda looked at Wang Buzhong like a piece of fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, which made Wang Buzhong feel scared.
"What are you doing?"
uproar
A group of ministers were instantly confused. Princess Jinyang has always received rave reviews. Why did it become like this today?
Li Shimin also frowned, wondering if he had done something wrong by bringing his daughter here today. However, Li Shimin did not interrupt. He wanted to know what kind of medicine Li Mingda was selling in the gourd.
Wang Buzhong blushed: "As a censor, it is your duty to complain to the people."
papapa
Li Mingda: "Then why didn't you think of this when you were embezzling and taking bribes, and you didn't think of it when you were plundering people's wealth?"
Wang Buzhong felt a little embarrassed. He knew that the Jinyi Guards were now investigating him so strictly that he asked his wife and son to do these things. Maybe he couldn't be traced.
"Why does Your Highness the Princess accuse others of their innocence?"
Yoho
Li Mingda looked at Wang Buzhong who looked fearless: "Emotions are still a good official. Who is the Jin Yiwei on duty today?"
Above the main hall, a man wearing a royal guard uniform came out from the corner: "Your Highness Princess Qi, this is the lower official Zhang Wei."
"Go ahead and retrieve Tiewa's file, and bring it with your relatives and relatives."
Zhang Wei looked towards Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded.
After receiving the permission, Zhang Wei handed over his hand and said: "Yes, please wait a moment, Your Highness."
╭(╯^╰)╮
For a moment, Li Mingda was not idle and pointed at a group of officials: "Look at how cowardly you are, especially those of you, with their heads tucked into their necks. Is it because you are cold or because you are afraid that you will be included in this file?"
The person pointed by Li Mingda lowered his head even further.
Cheng Yaojin started to help: "Your Highness, don't look at them. They are a bunch of slanderous guys. What can they do except bully the people and embezzle money?"
Yuchi Jingde: "It's nonsense, people can still slander others' innocence with empty words."
Cheng Yaojin: “Maybe I’ll go to a brothel.”
Yuchi Jingde: "Why do I remember that the officials refused to let me go?"
Cheng Yaojin: "When they embezzled money and oppressed the people, they didn't regard themselves as human beings."
Yuchi Jingde: "That's right"
Niu Jinda silently gave these two guys a thumbs up. These two guys are really capable of causing trouble, and these guys didn't dare to talk back.
In Wang Buzhong's anxiety, Jin Yiwei brought a few books and put them on Li Mingda's small case: "Your Majesty, the information on Your Highness the Princess has been moved."
Li Mingda waved "Go down"
Zhang Wei: "Yes"
Li Mingda grabbed it and started reading.
Every time he turned a page, Wang Buzhong's heart lifted up, and the officials who were scolded by Li Mingda and criticized by Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde also shrank their necks.
After reading the record, Li Mingda threw the record at Wang Buzhong: "Grandson, you are quite smart."
After hearing this, Wang Buzhong immediately became energetic and righteous, and said impassionedly: "I am innocent, right?"
Li Mingda had a sarcastic look on his face: "Innocent, really more innocent than a brothel madam."
Wang Buzhong blushed instantly: "Why did your Royal Highness insult me?"
Li Mingda pointed at Wang Buzhong's nose: "Scolding you is an understatement. It doesn't matter if you take bribes alone. At most, I will deal with you alone, you bastard. You instigated your wife and son to take bribes behind your back, and then you did it behind your back." To operate, you know what that’s called?”
"accomplice"
Wang Buzhong broke into a cold sweat and tried to explain: "I don't have it, I don't know."
"No, I don't know. Let me ask you, your family had 50 acres of fertile land two years ago. Now, there are 500 acres of fertile land in the name of your son's wife. There are also these two shops. How much money has been made from this? Where did it come from?"
Wang Buzhong: "Family business"
"Hey, my family's wealth has increased more than ten times in two years. I dare to ask who and what kind of business you did."
Wang Buzhong set his sights on Chai Lingwu in the Duke's column: "He cooperated with Lord Qiao Guogong."
Ha ha ha ha
Li Mingda laughed: "Master Qiao, I heard that Duke Qiao almost lost money in business and his huge family property is about to go in."
A group of officials looked at Wang Buzhong as if he were looking at a dead man. They knew that this guy was finished and there was no way to save him.
thoroughly
Some officials involved with Wang Buzhong were even more nervous. They kept cursing Wang Buzhong, why are you looking for trouble with Princess Jinyang when you have nothing to do? They prayed every day that Li Mingda would not send someone to come and find trouble for them. Burning incense.
Now Chai Lingwu is involved, and the Chai family is not a good person.
Chai Lingwu looked at Wang Buzhong with a dark face and said fiercely: "Master Wang, the Chai family's money is not that easy to get."
Wang Buzhong's legs were trembling: "Mr. Qiao, please bear with me when doing business."
"Yeah, please be patient, haha." Chai Lingwu smiled, and it was very strange. His posture made Li Jing beside him feel like he was holding up a cold breath, which was the murderous intention coming from the bottom of his heart.
"Chai Lingwu, you will wait for two days to settle your account. Now let's talk about your intelligence. This princess did send someone to take away the three members of the Zhao family last night, but how did you know about this?"
Li Mingda actually admitted it. Wang Buzhong felt that he could still make a comeback. Even if he couldn't, it would be good to slander Li Mingda's reputation.
"My lord, I got the information."
"It was already the curfew when you brought someone last night. Did you go there yourself or was it given to you by someone else?"
"None of them. I was told by the Lord of Sufferers when I went to court in the morning, hoping that I would redress the grievances of the people."
"Well, in the morning, I remember that the people in Chang'an City were still under curfew. Who violated the ban and found you?"
"I can't say this."
"A dead soldier in captivity?"
Wang Buzhong thought for a moment: "No, how could I keep dead soldiers in captivity? In fact, it was the neighbors who were worried about the three Zhao family members who found me."
"Then why can I find you so accurately? Logically speaking, I should go to the Yamen Gate of Chang'an City, right?"
"This... they may have happened to meet you."
"They seem to be more than just one person."
"No, it's just a coincidence."
"Haha, yes, the records say that the original owner of your shop was the Zhao family. What do you say about Wang Buzhong?"
