Mei Guangtao's words made the whole hall silent for a moment.
Luo Yanzhi couldn't help shouting.
"How is this possible?!"
Mei Guangtao looked at him and calmly said, "the kidnappers confessed to this. They were on the scene the day the attack incense hall caught fire. These are their confessions."
He drew a stack of confessions from his wide sleeve.
Immediately, the eunuch came forward and took the confession with both hands and presented it to the emperor.
Luo QingHan was clear about the contents of the confession.
He just glanced and motioned to the six old cabinet members to have a look.
The confession was transferred to the elders.
After reading the contents of the confession one by one, they all looked very ugly.
Luo Yanzhi didn't know what was written in the confession, but he could see from the reaction of the cabinet elders that those confessions were very unfavorable to the hongguogong.
He didn't care about the life or death of Hong Guogong, but he just spoke for Hong Guogong. At this time, it broke out that Hong Guogong set fire to kill people. The slap came too fast to make him lose face.
He couldn't help retorting.
"Those kidnappers are outlaws. How can they believe their words?!"
Mei Guangtao: "these kidnappers are not ordinary outlaws. They are actually killers of the blood rain building."
This once again caused a small commotion among the officials.
When Emperor Sheng Yongdi was still in power, he issued a decree to eliminate the black and evil forces. As the key target of attack, Xueyu building was forced not to show up.
I thought this folk killer organization had disappeared, but I didn't think they were hiding at the foot of the emperor.
As long as the officials present thought that they had lived in the same city with a group of killers, they might even have passed by killers, they couldn't help but feel cold on their backs.
Luo Yan stuck his neck and said, "so what?"
Mei Guangtao: "the attack incense hall is the stronghold of Xueyu building in Shengjing city. The reason why Hong Guogong set fire to kill people in the attack incense hall is to kill people. He doesn't want people to know that he is secretly colluding with Xueyu building."
If the previous words just stunned everyone, they would really shock the whole family!
The grand duke colluded with the Jianghu killer organization. Who believes it?!
This time, without waiting for Luo Yanzhi to ask questions again, Mei Guangtao directly took out an account book from his sleeve.
"This is the account provided by Ye Jiuming, the leader of Xueyu building. In this account book, it clearly states the amount of silver given by Xueyu building to the Duke of Hong. It is at least 3 million Liang per year and 30 million Liang in ten years. In addition, there are fields, real estate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. the amount is very amazing."
The account book was taken over by the eunuch and handed over to the emperor.
Before the hard evidence, Luo Yanzhi couldn't say anything to refute.
He just felt a burning pain on his face.
Knowing that the other party had hard evidence in his hand, he shouldn't have jumped out to help the Duke of Hong just now.
At present, he not only loses face in front of all civil and military officials, but also looks as if he is with the Duke of Hong Kong.
He closed his mouth bitterly, retreated awkwardly to the corner, and dared not speak again.
Luo QingHan said softly after visiting the account book.
"Hong Guogong colluded with Xueyu building, embezzled, accepted bribes, and committed arson. His crime is serious. He will be taken into custody by Dali temple for the time being. All his family members in Hong Guogong government will be supervised. After the family members in Hong Guogong government are found out, the case will be handed over to the three departments for joint trial."
All officials bow their hands and say here.
With the hongguogong in front of us, everything else has become a piece of cake.
The noisy early days are finally over.
When the officials walked out of the hall of deliberation, they were in different moods.
Some people are surprised, some feel uneasy, and others are thinking hard about something.
Loyanzhi goes the fastest.
He lost a big face this morning. At this time, he didn't want to see anyone. He just wanted to leave here quickly.
However, Luo yechen refused to let him go and deliberately shouted in a very loud voice.
"King Jingxian, slow down! I have something to tell you!"
This voice shouted out and immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
Luo Yanzhi was almost embarrassed to death when so many people looked at him.
He could only stop, try to pretend that nothing was wrong and arch his hand at each other.
"What's your advice, brother Huang?"
Luo yechen smiled proudly while appreciating his embarrassed appearance.
"In fact, it's no big deal. I just want to remind you to be careful and don't dare to say anything outside. You know there's no king under the county king. You know what I mean?"
Luo Yan's hatred was gnashing his teeth, but he had to force a smile on his face.
"Just now, I was impulsive. I thought Hong Guogong was wronged. I didn't expect that the fact was like that. This time, I learned a lesson. I won't help people in the future."
Luo yechen put on a good big brother's appearance and advised him earnestly.
"You are so naive. You always think that the whole world is a good man, but you forget to know people, face and heart. Some people look bright on the surface, but they are rotten inside."
Speaking of the last sentence, Luo yechen deliberately patted each other on the shoulder, showing pride and pointing.
Loyan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He only thought Luo yechen was a straw bag fool before. Unexpectedly, now this straw bag dares to ridicule him openly and secretly!
Officials passed by and bowed to Luo yechen, looking quite respectful. As for Luo Yanzhi, it was selectively ignored by officials.
Everyone is not blind. It can be seen that the emperor has no preference for the king of Jingxian. In contrast, the king of England is obviously more favored.
Don't those who mix officialdom are best at steering the wheel?
Since the king of England has a better future, we are naturally more willing to sell the king of England.
Luo yechen enjoys the feeling of being complimented.
He said hello to the officials and put enough of his eldest brother's music in front of Luo Yan before he left triumphantly.
Luo Yanzhi clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves into fists. Because he exerted too much force, the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged.
He will repay the humiliation he has suffered today ten times in the future!
Things in the hall soon spread to the Changle palace.
The Empress Dowager almost fainted when she heard that Hong Guogong was locked up in Dali temple.
Kong nvshi quickly took out a pill, boiled it with warm water, and carefully fed it to the Empress Dowager.
After taking the medicine, the Empress Dowager's heartbeat was finally not so rapid, and her breathing gradually eased down, but her face was still ugly.
With the help of Lu Xinyao, she sat up hard.
"Go and invite the emperor. The AI family has something to say to him."
Kong nvshi respectfully responded and left the Changle palace quickly.
She went to the imperial study to see the emperor.
The emperor heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to see him, but he said something faintly.
"I'll go when I finish handling these memorials."
Even though Kong nvshi was anxious, she didn't dare to urge at this time. She could only stand quietly and wait.
