Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Husband~"

Shu Jiao's fingertips were entwined on Ji Hefu's chest. "Today I met my former best friend. He said that my husband has a vicious character, is insidious and stingy, is cruel and ruthless, and has a beastly heart..."

Ji Hefu didn't say a word as Shu Jiao scolded him word by word.

"My lord, is that so?"

Shu Jiao frowned as if she was worried, but her tone was particularly playful.

"How can Madam believe the words of outsiders and misunderstand me?"

Ji Hefu explained softly, "During the past few days that we've been together, do you think... I'm that kind of person?"

"My husband is so beautiful, I don't think he can be that bad. It must be someone who instigated him to have such a bad reputation."

Shu Jiao sat on his lap and pushed him down with her palm.

The subtle force made Ji Hefu realize her thoughts, and he fell down.

At the same time, he did not forget to answer Shu Jiao, "Madam, what you said is absolutely right."

"What are you going to do, ma'am?"

"I have wronged my husband. I will make amends to him."

Shu Jiao smiled and began to untie the leather belt around his waist.

Ji Hefu: ...

He was always shocked by Shu Jiao's thought process at times.

"Ma'am, I haven't washed yet."

Ji Hefu reminded slowly, "Today in the Xuanwei Division, I was covered in blood. Ordinary people would feel dizzy and nauseous after smelling it..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill on his body.

"Madam, it's already past midnight. I have to get up early tomorrow."

"lady……"

"Today I heard someone praise my husband, saying that he is a beast that is difficult to tame. What kind of beast is my husband?"

Shu Jiao asked without letting him go.

How should Ji Hefu answer this?

The beast is hard to tame?

Is this a compliment?

Ji Hefu was silent for a moment, then turned over and pressed down the person who was stirring up trouble in his arms.

At worst, I won’t sleep tonight.

But the lady has scolded him so many times, this account must be collected!

……

Sure enough, I couldn’t sleep tonight.

After all the trouble, Shu Jiao fell asleep happily. Ji Hefu packed up simply with the hot water boiled in the house, changed his clothes and went out. His eyes were red from staying up all night.

There is also a feeling of laziness.

It's that kind of lazy feeling of having no desires or demands after all desires are satisfied.

When the officials attending the court saw him, they all felt that Commander Ji seemed more human today and no longer put on a fake smile to scare people.

but!

Whether he changes or not is another matter, but now we have to impeach him first!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report! Ji Hefu, the commander of the Xuanwei Division, broke into Zuo Minghou's mansion yesterday and took everyone in the mansion to the Xuanwei Division for torture without any evidence!"

"It has caused panic among the people and terror among the ministers. This behavior is really absurd and arrogant. I beg Your Majesty to punish them severely!"

Ji Hefu glanced lazily at the person who impeached him.

That was the father of Zuo Minghou's wife, Yuan Guang, Zuo Minghou's relative by marriage. He was a mighty general and the left vice minister of the Ministry of War, and also had a nominal position in the Zhanshi Palace.

What is the Zhanshi Mansion?

In short, the prince's team.

So when Zuo Minghou was tricked, of course he panicked.

First, he was worried that Zuo Minghou would do something wrong and affect the prince. Second, he was afraid that Ji Hefu would take action at the emperor's suggestion because Zuo Minghou had sided with the prince.

Either way, it was disadvantageous to the prince, and of course to him as well.

So although he seemed to be impeaching Ji Hefu, he was actually testing the emperor's attitude.

"Lord Ji, do you have anything to say?"

Emperor Kang Zheng asked very calmly.

"It's unfair, Your Majesty."

Ji He bowed and replied, "Yesterday, I received a letter of complaint from the son of Zuo Minghou's mansion, so I thought of going to Zuo Minghou to ask him about it. But I didn't expect that the evidence was irrefutable when I went there."

"I am just about to report this to the Emperor. Zuo Minghou is corrupt and has formed a large group of cliques. He is truly disloyal!"

Emperor Kang Zheng: ...

do not know why.

Hearing Ji Hefu’s cry for injustice, he felt like laughing.

"what?"

Emperor Kang Zheng frowned, "Do you have any evidence? Zuo Minghou is a trusted and loyal minister to me, how could he have the intention of disobeying me?"

"Have."

Ji Hefu took out the memorial he had written last night from his sleeve and had someone hand it to Emperor Kang Zheng.

After reading it, Emperor Kang Zheng was furious and wanted to confiscate Zuo Minghou’s property and exterminate his entire clan.

Yuan Guang: Not good~

The emperor's attitude clearly showed that he was cooperating with Ji Hefu.

It seems that the Emperor is clearly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's attempt to win over court officials, and he will go to the East Palace to have a chat with the Crown Prince later.

As for saving Zuo Minghou?

Don't make trouble.

How is that possible?

The emperor had promised to kill Zuo Minghou and teach the princelings a lesson. Even if he sacrificed his entire family, he could not save Zuo Minghou.

Hey ~

My dear relative, you go first. I can only turn back and burn three sticks of incense for you to pay my respects to you.

After the court was dismissed, Ji Hefu stared at Yuan Guang for a few seconds and smiled, "It seems that Lord Yuan has some misunderstandings about me."

Yuan Guang: ...

Ji Hefu didn't say much. He turned around and went back to the Xuanwei Division and called his subordinates.

"Go check."

"Everyone in General Weiwu's mansion, check carefully. Pay special attention to the relatives and offspring of Lord Yuan to see if they have killed anyone."

He just doesn't believe that things like lending money at high interest, accepting bribes, oppressing innocent people and seizing good farmland don't exist!

Impeach him?

Ah.

If you want to treat him as a soft persimmon, it depends on whether Yuan Guang has the ability to do so!

……

"Impeach?"

Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why would General Weiwu impeach my husband? He is not a censor, is he just idle and has nothing to do?"

The servant lowered his head and brows, "I don't know. I just heard today that General Weiwu impeached you and tortured you into confessing. He asked the emperor to punish you severely."

"Oh?"

Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "The mighty general?"

The mighty general, Yuan Guang.

The prince is a die-hard fan.

What a coincidence, yesterday she kissed her good husband and killed Zuo Minghoufu, another staunch supporter of the prince.

"I heard that... the son of the mighty general once said in private that my husband was a traitor who had stolen power from the country and deceived the emperor."

Shu Jiao said quietly, "Isn't he implying that the current ruler is a tyrant who favors flatterers and distances himself from the wise, and who only listens to one side and believes what he hears?"

Servant:......

Sure enough, it’s not that one family doesn’t enter the same house.

My master is not a good person, and this lady is no better.

Calling the emperor a tyrant.

If this word gets out, the mighty general's mansion will be badly damaged if not killed.

"Find two people and find a way to get the son of General Weiwu drunk. Make sure he tells the truth."

Shu Jiao half leaned against the back of the chair, glancing sideways at the servant who came to report.

This servant was well-informed. He knew what happened in the court as soon as he came back from court. It was obvious that Ji Hefu had sent him back on purpose.

Why tell her this?

Try to find out what her attitude is?

Should I stand by my husband, or should I just stay out of it?

I still want to test whether she is consistent in appearance and heart, so gentle and virtuous, and will just scold a few words when encountering problems; or is she like Ji Hefu, hypocritical, holding grudges and cruel?

"Ha~"

Shu Jiao chuckled and continued, "Since he is dissatisfied with the emperor, he must be extremely respectful of the prince and is looking forward to the prince, the saint, ascending to the throne."

"Understand?"

She asked these three words very gently.

But the servants were so frightened that their hair stood on end.
