Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Xin Ye also remembered that he had read some information about Mr. Meng before, and he was indeed an old man with means and a cruel heart.

To get rid of Qi Gousheng, it is not only necessary to deprive him of everything he has, but also to cut it off at the source, making him watch his backer collapse with his own eyes, and his years of hard work as a slave for others, with the hope of climbing to the top, finally come to nothing.

Without saying a word, Yi Yi guessed that at the morning court today, an imperial censor had reported Mr. Meng, and at the same time, he had also reported Qi Gousheng.

The crime charged against Mr. Meng was "taking advantage of his power to bully others and robbing someone's wife and father."

The charges against Chan Qi Gousheng were "lax family management" and "incompetence as an official".

Mr. Meng, who was being accused, still looked calm at this time, as if he was not the one being accused.

The emperor looked at Mr. Meng and said, "Sir Meng, do you have any objections?"

Mr. Meng lifted his robe and knelt down: "This old minister knows his crime, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor was not surprised at all that he confessed his guilt so honestly. He was an old fox. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. He did take advantage of his power to bully others. Apart from hurting Zhao's mother and son, he did not harm other innocent people.

Moreover, no one was sent to harm the Zhao mother and son, nor was they oppressed, and there was no actual harm, so the law cannot make a high judgment on this.

However, it was a rare opportunity to catch the old fox with such a small handle, and he would not easily miss the opportunity to punish him.

"In this case, your official rank will be demoted by one level, you must return home to reflect on yourself for a month, and you must compensate Zhao's mother and son with 20,000 taels of silver."

"Yes, thank you Lord for your kindness."

"Qi Sheng is dismissed from his post and investigated."

"Yes, this old minister thanks the Lord for His grace on behalf of the criminal Qi Sheng." Qi Sheng's official position does not allow him to attend court, and as his father-in-law, Old Man Meng can only come out to thank Him on his behalf.

Mr. Meng's face was a shade darker than usual, and one could tell how much anger he was suppressing at that moment.

When the censor criticized Qi Sheng for his incompetence, he cited the example of him fighting with Hua Xizi and Hua Beijiu and being knocked to the ground, and extended the issue to the strength of the soldiers in the camp outside the capital. The emperor directly ordered that all the soldiers in the capital must participate in the competition, and those who failed would be expelled from the barracks.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, all the generals were in an uproar.

The military generals who worked diligently every day were finally excited when they could hold their heads high.

Some generals who knew what their subordinates were like were worried. Once the soldiers under their command were found to be unqualified, they would not be able to escape the blame for lax military discipline. If the situation was more serious, they would also be labeled as "incompetent" and be dismissed and severely punished.

Some of the playboys who are just living a lazy life are extremely panic-stricken and plan to cram at the last minute; some of them start to think of unconventional ways and start to look for ways and connections; the last part are stubborn and rely on their family's influence. They have never taken others seriously and are used to letting their family members clean up the mess. They don't take this matter seriously at all and continue to do as they please.

In short, the capital city began to become restless for a while.

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye were a little surprised to learn of the emperor's decree. They didn't expect that the emperor's mind was so quick and he took the opportunity to clean out a wave of parasites.

However, the emperor's edict will not affect their actions tomorrow night.

Yes, they are about to launch the long-awaited "Accumulate Virtue" activity tonight, and have arranged for someone to send out the preview today.

As for Zhao Di and Da Hu, they were already on their way back to Xiashan Village, and this was the answer they gave.
