The hall was silent, and everyone stopped talking, including Liu Ming, the official.
Li Qing stood up and bowed his head, "My lords, we don't have time. The incident involving the consort Ouyang Lun started because of me. I can handle it all by myself."
Qianhu Zhang Jing had some issues with him before and sarcastically said: "You can carry it alone?
Can you carry it? "
"I can carry it!" Li Qing said calmly, "I am still the doctor in charge of the queen."
Everyone was startled, and after careful consideration, they found that it might be feasible, but no one wanted to express their opinion first.
They didn't want to carry it, but they couldn't say the shameless words of asking a thousand-year-old man to jack up the vat, so they stayed silent for a while.
"I'm with you."
Mao Xiang said, not because he was righteous, but because as the leader of Jin Yiwei, he had no possibility of shirk.
Even if Li Qing really wanted to take it all, he, Mao Xiang, couldn't escape unscathed.
In fact, he tacitly approved Li Qing's search for his consort Ouyang Lun, in order to expand Jin Yiwei's influence.
I wanted to throw stones to ask for directions, but I never thought that a huge wave would arise.
The crimes Ouyang Lun committed far exceeded his expectations and were so serious that even if the emperor wanted to protect his son-in-law, he could not.
Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Ming asked: "Li Qing, why are you doing this?"
"The emperor's relatives, civil servants, military generals, and royal guards all have the power of inspection. Can they do anything wrong in their humble position?"
Liu Ming's face felt hot and he couldn't say anything else.
Zhang Jing snorted: "It's just the bravery of an ordinary man. The officialdom is in deep water. You, a Qianhu who just joined the job, want to stir up the storm. It's just wishful thinking. Now, you can make the entire Jinyiwei passive."
Li Qing didn't like him, so he stopped being polite and said, "I'll do what you Zhang Qianhu doesn't dare to do, and I'll take care of the people who Zhang Qianhu doesn't dare to take care of.
Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, holding the royal family at the top, arresting the corrupt officials at the bottom.
Behead first and report later, imperial authority has granted! "
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Li Qing ignored Zhang Jing and clasped his fists: "My lords, maybe Li will bring some trouble to the Jin Yiwei this time.
but,
Jinyiwei will be stronger because of me! "
After proudly speaking, Li Qing put away the evidence on the table and turned around and left the lobby.
Mao Xiang took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and followed him out of the lobby.
Several governors, ministers, and colleagues looked at each other and nodded lightly.
Liu Minglang said: "Everyone, whether the Jin Yiwei can go further depends on today. We cannot command the envoy and Li Qing to carry it alone."
Zhang Heng said in a loud voice: "Enter the palace!"
…
Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, mantis legs, and horse peak waist.
People who can become senior members of Jinyiwei not only have outstanding abilities, but also have a good skin, and all of them have good martial arts skills.
Several governor envoys, fellow magistrates, and ministers were at the forefront, showing great authority.
The four thousand households followed closely behind, and they were also handsome and a beautiful sight galloping down the street.
The group quickly caught up with Mao Xiang, but Li Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing them following, Mao Xiang said anxiously: "That bastard Li Qing is running too fast. Hurry up and catch up."
Recalling Li Qing's heroic words, Mao Xiang muttered, "Isn't that kid really capable of beating twenty?"
~
Li Qing felt the wind at his feet and ran all the way, fearing that the villains Ouyang Lun and his wife would sue him first.
As soon as he entered the palace, Li Qing went straight to the imperial study, but unexpectedly missed it.
After thinking for a moment, he rushed to Qianqing Palace without stopping.
However, it was still a step too late.
When Li Qing arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang and his family were talking and laughing happily.
His daughter beat his shoulders and his son-in-law handed him tea. Lao Zhu was so comfortable that he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Zhu Biao and Queen Ma also looked relaxed and happy, with smiles on their lips.
Who said that the royal family has no family ties?
Li Qing took a deep breath and saluted: "Long live the emperor, the empress, your highness the prince, and your highness the princess."
"Pingshen." Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood and pointed to the young man beside him, "This is our consort."
Li Qing smacked his lips, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen my consort."
"Master Li, don't be too polite." An Qing took over the conversation, "Master Li is here just to treat his mother?"
No, I came here to expose your husband... Li Qing shook his head, "It's a business matter."
"Official business?" An Qing was startled for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and soon returned to his original state, smiling, "I was chatting with my father just now, and I heard that you are Mr. Li from Zuixianlou. Li Qianhu is really secretive. Woolen cloth."
Her tone was slightly serious in the last four words, full of warning.
Ouyang Lun smiled and said: "Those two poems are absolutely beautiful. Mr. Li is a great talent."
Li Qing smiled, ignored the two men's words, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
An Qing's smile froze and he said displeasedly: "What can happen to you, a thousand-household family?
My father was finally free. If he had anything to do, let Mao Xiang handle it. My father pretended to be the world's nine states, so how could he have time to care about trivial matters?
Just step back! "
"Anqing!" Zhu Biao glared at his sister and looked at Li Qing, "What's the business?"
Li Qing glanced at Empress Ma and said with a dry smile: "My Lady, please step aside."
"Presumptuous!" An Qing said angrily, "Li Qing, you are so brave, you dare to drive your mother."
She took Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and said bitterly: "Father, can you cure his sins?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little unhappy, "Li Qing, what's the matter with you?"
Li Qing had no choice but to take out the evidence of crime from his arms and present it with both hands, "Ouyang Lun, the prince-in-law, commandeered him with exorbitant taxes, purchased tea at super low prices, and then smuggled it out of the customs in large quantities.
They refused to pay taxes at the checkpoints they encountered, and they also beat up the tax collectors on inspection. Seventeen tax collectors were beaten to death alone.
There is no point in indirectly killing people. "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.
Ouyang Lun changed his color instantly, Anqing was shocked and angry, Zhu Biao and Queen Ma looked in disbelief, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked.
"Father..." An Qing knelt down and began to cry out for injustice, with tears streaming down his face.
He also kept accusing Li Qing of making things up out of thin air, talking nonsense, and being hopeless...
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused for a while. Although Ouyang Lun had the lowest family background among the consorts, he had the highest academic qualifications and was a Jinshi.
He had a good feeling for this talented son-in-law who came from a poor family. He really couldn't believe that this gentle and elegant son-in-law would do such a bad thing.
An Qing cried and said: "Father, Li Qing stayed in the capital all day, not only visiting prostitutes, but also prostitutes. Even if the consort was really at fault, how could he know?
Moreover, he did not report it to the commander of Jin Yiwei, but directly went to Datian to listen. Father, what do you think he is worried about? "
An Qing cried so hard that her acting skills will be enough to crush the traffic florets even if she doesn't win the Golden Award.
"Father...have you forgotten Yang Xian?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Li Qing with a less friendly look, "Li Qing, what we hate most in our lives is that others lie to us."
"Your Majesty, these criminal evidences are all proven. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Jinyi Guards to investigate!" Li Qing was very calm.
Zhu Yuanzhang was doubtful, so he stepped forward and grabbed the testimony and read it. His expression became uglier as he looked at it, and his fists as big as sandbags clenched loudly.
The Anqing couple's hands and feet were cold. Those things were not revealed because they were hidden, but because no one dared to investigate. If they really wanted to investigate, they would be sure to check everything.
"Father, this is all Li Qing's conspiracy. He just wants to climb up..."
At this time, a loud voice sounded outside the hall.
"Mao Xiang, the commander of Weichen Jinyiwei,
Zhang Heng, the minister of Jin Yiwei and the governor of the town,
The Wei minister, Jinyi Wei, is in charge of Liu Ming... I have an urgent matter, please tell me! "
Zhu Yuanzhang had calmed down from his shock and anger. He asked himself that he was very accurate in judging people. Li Qing was by no means the kind of person who would do whatever it took to get the upper hand.
Moreover, anyone with any brains would not resort to such foolish tactics as framing the prince-in-law.
Now that I heard that all the senior officials of Jingjin Yiwei had come to meet him, I already believed the contents of the testimony to 80%.
He looked at Ouyang Lun with cold eyes. The latter's teeth were chattering and his whole body was shaking, but he still held on and was lucky.
Princess Anqing was crying and complaining, but she also had luck in her heart, thinking that Jin Yiwei did not dare to make her father look too ugly.
Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a breath of depression and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
After a while, a group of nine people walked into the hall, bowed down and saluted, and then supported Li Qing.
Everyone agreed, and even Zhu Biao and Queen Ma had to believe that everything Li Qing said was true.
"Father, forgive me, father, forgive me..." Ouyang Lun had no luck anymore, kowtowing like garlic.
Princess Anqing knelt and moved to Zhu Yuanzhang, pulled his sleeves, and said, "The prince is confused for a moment, please forgive me..."
Zhu Yuanzhang threw him away and said angrily: "Take Ouyang Lun into prison and interrogate him severely."
"Mao Xiang."
"I'm here!"
"I ordered the Jingjin Yiwei to rush to Bashu immediately and investigate everything in detail for us."
"I obey the order."
"Li Qing, come and interrogate Ouyang Lun." Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly: "There is no need to worry about anything, just follow the procedures of Jin Yiwei, and interrogate him how you want!"
An Qing burst into tears and said sadly: "Please, Father..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Don't call us father, we don't have a father like you."
