Han Zheng didn't expect that his performance was so obvious. He paused and said, "Yes, so Huang Xiangru's incident is really related to my second sister-in-law?"

Li Yu picked up the unfinished tea on the table and took a sip, "I made it."

Han Zheng: “…”

really.

Li Yu looked at his expression and asked carefully: "Do you know something?"

At this point, there was nothing to hide, so Han Zheng said, "I know that the injury on the back of my second sister-in-law's hand a while ago was related to Huang Xiangru."

Li Yu's hand holding the tea stopped in mid-air: "Did you check it privately, or did Lu Xuan tell you?"

Han Zheng: "I checked it privately. I was worried when I saw you injured that day, so I asked the master for help. I asked the master to lend me a few guards and then let the guards go to check it out."

In fact, Brother Lu Xuan also told him, but he felt that Brother Lu Xuan had omitted something, so he asked someone to check it again.

The guards found a woman named Zhen from Qingzhou Prefecture, and from Zhen they found Huang Xiangru.

Mr. Su's guards were not bad, but they lacked the ability to investigate the matter. He only got the results three days ago.

During these three days, he had been thinking about ways to deal with Huang Xiangru, but before he had a perfect plan, his second sister-in-law took action first.

Seeing that he looked calm, Li Yu knew that he had not discovered that the ginseng and the healing medicine were poisonous.

It's good that they didn't find out. The matter of ginseng and golden wound medicine is too poisonous. Telling it to Han Zheng will only make him angry and unable to sleep tonight. He has to get up at the hour of Yin tomorrow, so he needs to have a good rest tonight.

Putting down the teacup, Li Yu said, "That day, the horse suddenly went crazy and rushed towards me, intending to kill me. I felt that since Huang Xiangru had done this, I had to take revenge on him no matter what and not give him the chance to hurt me again. Do you think I was cruel?"

Han Zheng shook his head, "Second sister-in-law did the right thing."

Being kind to bad people is being cruel to yourself.

He had understood this principle a long time ago.

After they finished talking, they went to sleep.

The next day, Han Zheng went to court early. When he was about to leave, Li Yu got up and took a look.

After this period of deliberate training, Fang's father has become familiar with the road to the palace and can drive a horse-drawn carriage very well.

The last time Han Zheng went to the morning court, he was the one who saw him off.

As for the snacks that Han Zheng would eat on the road, Fang's mother and Mrs. Mu took turns to prepare them.

These people have adapted well to the mansion during this period. Fang's mother works efficiently and does not slack off. In addition to sending Han Zheng to school every day, Fang's father also does other housework well and is a qualified doorman.

As for Madam Mu, Li Yu had asked her to deliver things to Mr. Su several times, and she delivered them on time every time without any mistakes.

As for Fang Erya, she worked diligently under Han Xiaomei in the store and was no worse than the people she hired specially.

All in all, the people we bought are all very good. They can work, have a sense of propriety, and know when to advance and retreat.

"Boss, why are you up?" It was Fang's mother who was making porridge for Han Zheng in the kitchen today. When she saw Li Yu, she hurriedly stood up from the stove.

Li Yu stepped into the room and asked, "Have you prepared hot water for Han Zheng?"

"Everything is ready, don't worry, Boss."

Li Yu nodded and walked to the gate to see what was going on.

Han Zheng had just sat in the car when he heard Li Yu's voice. He opened the curtain and said goodbye to her.

Li Yu nodded: "It's getting late, let's go quickly."

Mr. Fang agreed, shouted, and drove away in the carriage.

Li Yu listened to the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away, thinking that since such a big embarrassment happened in the Minister of Revenue's Mansion last night, today's morning court session would probably be longer.

*

Inside the Imperial Palace and Fengtian Hall.

Minister Huang knelt on the ground, feeling extremely angry.

What happened to his son last night, he had expected that someone would take advantage of it, and in the end, too many people did.

At the beginning of the morning court session, the censor from the prince's party impeached him, saying that he had failed to educate his son well, causing his son to behave improperly outside and corrupt the morals of the capital.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the incident has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. Even three-year-old children know about it. The impact is huge."

When Shangshu Huang wanted to retort, the Vice Minister of Works came out and said that his son had disgraced civility and that he, as a father, should be punished for his son's debt; this was called a father paying for his son's debt.

"Teach Minister Huang a lesson, and he will teach his son well in the future. And the young masters of the Huang family will think about Minister Huang when they speak and act in the future.

Moreover, with the example of Huang Shangshu, officials all over the world will pay attention to managing their children. Your Majesty, this is a good thing that will kill two birds with one stone. I request that Huang Shangshu be punished!"

Minister Huang almost vomited blood.

He originally felt a little sorry for Huang Xiangru, after all, he was the son he had personally taught, but at this moment, he only felt hatred for Huang Xiangru in his heart.

It's all his fault. He insisted on going to the brothel and ended up like this.

He was utterly embarrassed.

*

Emperor Tianyuan never thought that he would hear a big gossip early in the morning. Suddenly, his headache went away and he was no longer sleepy.

Emperor Tianyuan swept his eyes over all the officials in the hall, and said in high spirits: "What do the other noble families say?"

The official from the Third Prince's side immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Huang has always been mature and prudent. This was an accident and has nothing to do with Minister Huang.

I beg your majesty to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear the name of the eldest son of the Huang family."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Young Master Huang has always had a good reputation in the capital, but this time he was framed by a bad guy."

The censor on the side of the crown prince immediately counterattacked: "There are so many children of officials in the capital, why do you only target Master Huang and not others? Isn't it because Master Huang is not upright? If he studied and practiced calligraphy at home at night instead of going to that brothel, how could the villains take advantage of him?

Besides, this is just speculation. As the saying goes, people's hearts are hidden. There are many people who appear to be pure on the outside but are actually despicable on the inside. Maybe Mr. Huang deliberately framed others. After all, who would go to brothels all day for no reason?

I have heard that Mr. Huang has a lover in the brothel, and he often meets with that lover. People who often go to Liuye Street know about this."

Huang Shangshu's forehead was throbbing with veins. He stared at the censor and said, "Master Wan, you should provide evidence when speaking. What is your intention in slandering my son?"

After saying this, he looked at Emperor Tianyuan with his wrinkled face, and cried, "Your Majesty, my son was murdered by a villain. Please order a thorough investigation and give my son justice."

Emperor Tianyuan didn't want to look at Shangshu Huang's wrinkled face, so he sighed and said, "What happened yesterday was indeed shocking, but what Censor Wan said was not wrong. There is indeed something wrong with your son Huang Xiangru."

Minister Huang froze.

Emperor Tianyuan continued, "If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. When Emperor Taizu was still alive, it was stipulated that officials could not visit prostitutes. Although your son has not achieved any fame, you are a senior official in the court, so he should be treated the same as you. Unfortunately, he has a bad character, which caused the disaster last night.

To prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, my dear Lord Huang, I will have someone investigate the truth, but you will also be punished. I will fine you half a year's salary and also confine you to house arrest for another half a month.

You should stay in the mansion for the next half month and think carefully about how to educate your children. When you have thought it through, write a memorial to me."
