The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

Ye Zhaonan has been going out early and coming back late every day recently.

In order to obtain evidence of the Second Prince's illegal and disorderly activities more quickly, he worked day and night, spending every day in the several departments under his management.

At the same time, he had to go to the palace to fulfill his filial duties to the emperor, and was busy every day.

After returning home at night, I would just wash up and fall asleep.

This left the butler with no chance to tell what he had seen. Seeing that he had fallen asleep as soon as he lay down, the butler did not have the heart to wake him up again. He only thought to himself:

Lin Pianpian is just a concubine and should not have any influence on the overall situation.

Then, I put the matter behind me.

About a few days later, Ye Zhaonan followed the clues and obtained evidence that the Second Prince's faction had violated laws and regulations and disrupted the government.

It happened that the Emperor of Ye State was in good spirits and got up early, which was a rare occasion. With the help of his trusted eunuchs, he put on his dragon robe and went to the morning court.

Normally the crown prince is the regent, but today he came in person just to see how capable the crown prince is in managing the court.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the court, the prince gave him a big surprise.

"Father, you are here today. I want to sue my second brother for allowing his men to bully the people and forcibly abduct women. My second brother's maternal relatives are causing trouble in Huaicheng, their hometown. They sell official positions and accept bribes in the name of the prince."

"This is the evidence I have found recently. Please have a look, Father. In addition, I have placed all the suspects in the prison, waiting for your interrogation."

As he spoke, Ye Zhaonan asked his men to present all the evidence.

The emperor had never expected that everything was fine and he had just recovered a little, but he would encounter such a thing when he went to court. He flipped through the evidence and became angrier and angrier. He said angrily:

"Angry, second brother, look at what you have done! Do you want to piss me off to death?"

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, Ye Zhaonan lowered his head and couldn't help but smile, as if he had already seen the second prince Ye Jiayan being reprimanded and admonished by the emperor.

If the Second Prince were convicted in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, his reputation among the court officials would plummet.

Even if there are those who are neutral or wavering, seeing this situation, they will definitely choose to support Ye Zhaonan instead of Ye Jiayan, who is belittled and despised by the emperor.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaonan felt very proud.

But at this moment, Ye Jiayan knelt straight down, and the first thing he did was not to defend himself, but to say:

"Father, you have just recovered a little. Don't get angry, or you will get hurt."

"Brother Crown Prince, you are such a fool. You know that our father has just gotten better and finally cheered up to attend court, but you insist on using these nonsense to anger him? Don't you care about our father's health?"

Ye Zhaonan didn't expect Ye Jiayan to be so eloquent that he could actually blame him from this angle. He immediately said angrily:

"What made father angry was not the evidence I found, but your actions. As a prince, you did not think about stabilizing the court and sharing father's worries. Instead, you indulged your mother's family to be arrogant and domineering outside. Are you worthy of father's cultivation?"

Ye Jiayan glanced at him coldly before he bowed and said:

"Father, I am not trying to defend myself, but I believe that those who are innocent will be cleared. No matter how your brother accuses me of something I have never done, I will deny it."

"So Father, there is no need to get angry for now. It is better to investigate the matter first. If someone from my mother's family really disregards the law, I will definitely not tolerate it!"

Ye Zhaonan heard this and immediately said angrily:

"You won't cry until you see the coffin. There are witnesses and evidences. Do you still dare to deny it?"

"Is your father's body still able to bear it?" Ye Jiayan asked, "If you can bear it, please ask your father to uphold justice and personally interrogate the witnesses mentioned by the Crown Prince. I am willing to confront them in court."

At this time, the Emperor of Ye State covered his chest with his hands and slowly calmed down.

It is undeniable that he was indeed very angry when he saw the evidence just now. At the moment of anger, he felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. The hidden wound was like a maggot in his tarsal bones, eating away at his body.

Fortunately, the trusted eunuch took out the first aid pills prepared by Shi Lidie, saying that if one pill is taken at the critical moment, it can save one's life.

And the name of this pill is Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pill.

After calming down, the Emperor of Ye State was grateful to the Second Prince Ye Jiayan for always caring about his health. Even though he was wronged, he was the first one to worry that his body could not bear it.

Putting aside other things, the second son's filial piety is indeed commendable. For this reason, it is not impossible for him to give him a chance.

"Prince, bring the witness here. I want to interrogate him personally." The Emperor of Ye said, "I have been ill for a long time and have not been to court for a long time. Many things depend on you, my dear ministers and my sons. Perhaps you have forgotten what kind of person I am. Today, whether the Second Prince condones his mother's family to commit crimes, or the Crown Prince deliberately slanders and frames his brothers, I will never let them off easily!"

Ye Zhaonan felt that he had a sure win, while Ye Jiayan felt that he had already planned everything out.

Neither of them was afraid of a confrontation in court.

Soon, all the witnesses were brought up. There were more than a dozen people in total, both men and women, old and young.

The group of people knelt in the hall and heard the emperor say:

"The three of you, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, and the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, are all responsible for adjudicating criminal cases. You three will conduct the interrogation together and get to the bottom of this matter."

The three people named by the emperor quickly stood up, and after discussing it, they began to question.

They were all experienced people, and it was not appropriate for them to play tricks in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials in the court, so they asked eunuchs to follow behind them with paper and pen, and they took notes as they asked questions.

About half an hour later, the three of them stopped at about the same time, and the Dali Temple Minister spoke first:

"Your Majesty, I already have the answer."

"The testimonies of these witnesses are inconsistent, and many details and logic do not match up. For some things, we only know the results but not the reasons. It seems that the statements were arranged in advance."

"Your Majesty, I have also made a decision." The Minister of Justice followed closely, "Several people here speak with Mianzhou accents. Although Mianzhou is only 500 miles away from Huaicheng, there is a mountain in between, and the accents of the two sides are obviously different. Let me ask, the second prince's mother's family committed crimes in his hometown of Huaicheng, why are people from Mianzhou coming to testify? Why are there no local people from Huaicheng?"

The prefect of Jingzhao also cupped his hands:

"I second your Excellencies' opinion."

"This woman claimed to be from a peasant family, and was abducted into the palace by a cousin of the Second Prince's mother's family, who also killed her husband. But I saw that her hands were delicate, white, and even stained with nail polish, which did not look like the hands of a peasant family at all."

"I was afraid of misjudgment, so I asked a few questions about farming. Even someone like me who lives in the capital and has never worked on the farm knows these common sense, but this woman couldn't answer them. It's obvious that she is lying."

The three adults announced their interrogation process and judgment results, and their conclusions were basically the same:

There's something wrong with this.
