Chapter 797

When Ji Qingxue woke up, Xun Xue was lying on the side of the bed. A pair of big watery eyes looked at her like that. Seeing that she woke up, he cried sweetly, "you wake up, mother!"

Ji Qingxue said, "it's early to find snow. Where's your father?"

"My father went to the morning and asked me to stay here with my mother."

Ji Qingxue's teeth itch at the thought of the guy who eats people and doesn't spit bones.

Are people who abstain for too long so fierce? No, No.

Looking for snow asked seriously, "are you hungry, mother? Looking for snow can take her to eat delicious food."

Ji Qingxue propped up and sat up: "it's good to find snow, so please find snow. My mother will take you to play later, okay?"

Xun Xue nodded, smiled and squinted. The empress mother was really the best.

Nangong Yan was dressed in a purple and Gold Dragon Robe and sat on the bright yellow dragon chair. There was a natural indifference and alienation between his eyebrows, which made people dare not look directly at him.

"I heard that many things have happened in the court during my imperial expedition?"

Nangong Yan seemed to ask casually, which made many officials in the hall dare not breathe.

Looking at their timid appearance, Nangong Yan said with a light smile, "Dear Aiqing, what are you doing so nervous? I'm just asking at will. OK, I haven't been in the court for a long time. Just tell me what I have to do."

At this time, Murong Zhi, the Shaoqing of Dali temple, stood up and said, "tell the emperor that I have a book to play."

"Speak."

"A few months ago, hang Feng, governor of the two rivers in Lanzhou, took advantage of his position to sell private salt. After being exposed, he wanted to buy murderers and kill people. As a court commander, he committed such a despicable act. But he refused to go to Dali temple for trial with the gold medal given by the former Emperor. He had no choice but to ask the emperor to decide this matter."

Then someone immediately came out to refute: "Murong, be careful! You just listened to other people's one-sided words. Do you want to convict a court official hastily? Selling private salt is not a small crime. It can be changed to an official position when you are young, and you can't use it all your life. When you are old, you can be punished. The matter has not been settled. Lord Murong sells private salt one by one, buys fierce people, and kills people. I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Murong Zhi smiled and said, "what Lord Xu said is true. But my Dali Temple always only depends on the evidence, not the size of the official position. Since someone came to Kyoto with a blood letter, I have the right to investigate the matter whether it is true or false."

"Besides, if he's really innocent, why should he bring out the first emperor to oppress people when he goes to Dali temple? It's inevitable that people will be suspicious."

Murong Zhi glanced at him: "besides, who in the imperial court doesn't know that you, Lord Xu, are hang Feng's brother-in-law. So I think it's better for Lord Xu to avoid suspicion."

In this way, Murong Zhi pointed out his relationship with hang Feng. Xu Ke immediately turned white. He secretly looked at the people on the Dragon chair. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't look angry, which made Xu Ke feel a little relieved.

Xu Ke said angrily, "Murong Zhi, you and I are just talking about things. What are you doing?"

Murong Zhi ignored his anger and said faintly, "I'm just talking about the matter. As Lord Xu said, the crime of selling private salt is not small. Why should Lord Xu force himself into it? Of course, if I find out that this matter is also connected with Lord Xu later, I don't need Lord Xu to speak. I will come to ask for advice in person."

If it weren't for the occasion, Xu Ke was afraid that he would immediately want to rush up and tear his mouth. Didn't he say that he was also involved in the matter in front of the emperor?

Nangong Yan scolded, "enough!"

Xu Ke hurriedly explained to him, "please draw a clear lesson from the emperor. I don't want to practice favoritism and fraud. I just hope I can thoroughly investigate the facts and don't wrong good people. I have a great heart. I can learn from the sun and the moon."

Murong Zhi sneered: "I'm afraid Lord Xu put honey on his mouth when he went out today."

As soon as the emperor came back, he was eager to flatter. He was also loyal and was not afraid to flash his tongue.

Nangong Yan's eyes fell on Xu Ke: "I naturally know Xu Aiqing's loyalty. I also believe that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Xu Ke hurriedly said, "thank you for your trust."

Xu Ke took the time to give Murong a proud look. No matter how clever you are, the emperor will not believe your nonsense!

Nangong Yan smiled and said, "there are just some things. I may need Lord Xu to explain. Come on!"

As soon as the voice fell, yingxuan and Zhuifeng brought in seven or eight boxes.

Ying Xuan opened the boxes one by one. When they looked at them, they couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning.

The box is full of gold ingots, at least tens of thousands of taels. Moreover, the box is two layers, with gold on the top and silver notes on the bottom. It's a huge sum of money.

When Xu Ke saw these boxes, his face looked very strange. It seemed that he could not believe it.

Nangong Yan leaned his hand against the faucet beside him, held his chin, and said lazily, "do you think these are familiar? This was found in your room this morning. Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

In other words, as soon as Xu Ke's front foot went to court, Nangong Yan's back foot ordered someone to copy his home.

It's creepy to think about it.

"Emperor, these are..." Xu Ke was sweating hard on his forehead. He hesitated for a long time and didn't say why.

What else can I say? The sum of these things found in his room can't save so much money even if he doesn't eat or drink for 20 years with his monthly salary.

Nangong Yan pretended to be confused and said, "why doesn't adult Xu speak?"

Xu Ke's legs softened and knelt down: "the emperor, spare your life! The emperor, spare your life! I know I'm wrong!"

"Hum, you know what's wrong?" Nangong Yan's eyes were sharp, and there was an irrepressible power of thunder between his eyebrows and eyes. "Don't you really know that you and hang Feng worked together to sell private salt and make huge profits?"

Nangong Yan threw a booklet in front of him: "this was also found in your room. I thought no one could understand it by changing the account into a collection of poems? With your little tricks, do you dare to teach others in front of me?"

At this time, not only Xu Ke, but also the officials in the whole court couldn't help cooling their backs.

Although the emperor was not in the palace, he seemed to know what they did and said in private.

If not, the emperor came back the next day. How could he find out these things so soon? He must have planned for a long time.

Their minds are running fast now, thinking about whether they have done anything special in recent months, for fear of offending the majesty of the emperor. They are really afraid.

Nangong Yanyan threw his knife: "Xu Ke, you dare to play tricks under my eyes. I think you've really lived enough."
