Gu Qingluo brought Xiao Lianzi to the Dali Temple, and Qin Hean came out to greet them.

Qin Hean led Gu Qingluo into the prison. There was a long corridor with candles on both sides emitting a faint light. Looking down the dim corridor, there were iron cages one after another, which were filled with heinous criminals. Gu Qingluo walked and looked around, and his ears were filled with endless screams and a few tiny cries of injustice.

When Gu Qingluo heard these voices, she began to feel annoyed. It was not her who felt sorry for the criminals, but them.

It was too noisy, just like a vegetable market, and she wanted to curse. But then she thought, she is the emperor and needs to remain calm and not lose her dignity in front of the criminals.

I never thought that there would always be people rushing up to seek death.

"You dog emperor, you shall not die well. You dog emperor, you are a cruel and merciless tyrant, a foolish and incompetent tyrant. Be careful not to be struck by lightning or die a violent death with no chance of reincarnation!"

Gu Qingluo: ...

【Be patient, and the sea will be calm and the sky will be wide. 】

[I am the emperor, my heart is as broad as the sea, I can hold a lot and put it down, I won't bother with a dying person! ]

"You dog emperor, I curse you to give birth to a child without an asshole, to be beaten when you go out, to choke to death when you eat, and to have bad luck for the rest of your life!"

Gu Qingluo couldn't bear the words "curse" and "bad luck for life", so she walked towards the person who cursed her.

The man was locked in an iron cage, holding the cage tightly with both hands, glaring at her, as if he was going to get out and torture her to death in the next second.

When the man saw Gu Qing coming over, his eyes widened with excitement. He continued to curse: "You dog emperor, you are a piece of wood that cannot be carved, and a wall of dung that cannot be defiled!"

"You are even more ignorant of the past and present, like an ox or a horse, a scholar without shame, a dog in human clothing!"

Gu Qingluo laughed at his scolding, pointed at the man and turned to ask Qin Hean: "What is this bastard scolding me for?"

"Please translate for me!"

[I am really impressed. I have suffered from my lack of education. Why don’t you just speak in vernacular Chinese instead of writing in classical Chinese? ]

Qin Hean glanced at the man with disdain, his eyes full of disappointment.

He said with a stiff face: "It means to scold Your Majesty that you are a useless piece of mud, a beast in human clothing, worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Ah."

"Hehe." Gu Qingluo held his forehead and chuckled speechlessly.

"You are really so bold that you dare to scold me? Aren't you afraid that I will chop you into pieces?" Gu Qingluo's delicate eyebrows were filled with anger. She couldn't help but raise her voice at the middle-aged uncle who was yelling at her.

"I am going to die anyway, so if I can curse the current tyrant a few words before I die, I will live and die without regrets!" The man held his head high and said with righteous indignation.

Gu Qingluo's chest heaved with anger, and he asked, "Master Qin, who is this arrogant person who dares to insult me?"

Qin Hean: "Your Majesty, it was the former Minister of Personnel, Kong Yuqi, who was imprisoned because he was found by the Dali Temple to be corrupt, accepting bribes, and trafficking women and children!"

When Kong Yuqi heard these words, he burst into tears and laughed out loud: "What a joke! I have been an honest official for more than ten years, but I was tricked by a villain and charged with corruption, bribery, and trafficking in women and children. What a joke!"

"The Dali Temple is incompetent in handling cases, accepting bribes and colluding with corrupt officials, wrongly accusing many good people, and the emperor is incompetent and allows corrupt officials to take power! Fengcheng is in danger!"

Gu Qingluo frowned as she listened. She asked Qin Hean in a cold tone with a hint of anger on her face, "Master Qin, is this true?"

"Your Majesty, this is unjust. The Dali Temple has always been honest in handling cases. How could it be corrupt and accept bribes? He must have slandered the Dali Temple without any evidence. Please investigate!" Qin Hean frowned and said in a deep voice with his fists clasped.

What is Kong Yuqi playing? If he has been wronged, why doesn't he explain it to them? Instead, he talks nonsense in front of the emperor and throws a bucket of dirty water on the Dali Temple.

When he was reported, the Dali Temple sent people to investigate and found solid evidence in his house that he had committed corruption, bribery, and trafficking in women and children.

He had nothing to say and just admitted the crime.

Now, he is crying out for injustice in this huge prison, which is in disguise a way of crying out for the Dali Temple's poor handling of the case and the wronged court officials!

Gu Qingluo pondered the three words "Kong Yuqi" carefully, turning them over in his mind over and over again, but could not find out who this person was.

Maybe he is a small cannon fodder in the book, born to help the protagonist to achieve KPI.

However, after what he said, if he was really wronged, then there was someone else who was guilty of corruption, bribery, and trafficking in women and children. That person was living a carefree life somewhere else while a good man was wrongly accused and went to jail instead of the bad guy. This made her pay attention.

Besides, this person came out to cry out for injustice for no reason. Maybe it was the hidden plot in the book and the hidden task of the system. She had to take it seriously.

Gu Qingluo asked Qin Hean: "Who is in charge of his case?"

Qin Hean: "Minister of Dali Temple."

"You didn't handle it?"

Qin Hean shook his head and explained: "When Kong Ziqi was arrested, I had not yet taken office as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple!"

Gu Qingluo calmly looked at Kong Yuqi and said in a serious tone, "Tell me the truth, are you being wronged?"

"If you are wrongly accused, I will send someone to thoroughly investigate your case and clear your name. If you really don't want to clear your name and want to be beheaded, I can also grant your wish!"

Gu Qingluo paused, and seeing the struggle flash across Kong Yuqi's face, she understood what was going on, but she continued, "Plus you insulted the current emperor, you would have died a hundred times already!"

Hearing this, Kong Yuqi burst into tears. She seemed to feel embarrassed and couldn't help but cover her face and cry. Her cries were full of inexplicable grievances.

Gu Qing said with certainty: "You know who is wronging you, right? But you are afraid of that person because he has something on you to threaten you, right?"

After crying, Kong Yuqi grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I don't care whether this injustice is cleared or not." As he spoke, his tears could not stop falling and his expression was heartbroken.

Gu Qingluo was also upset. With red eyes, she said to Qin Hean, "Restart the investigation into Kong Yuqi."

"I will personally investigate the case of Gu Mingxuan. You should focus on investigating the case of Kong Yuqi's corruption, bribery, and trafficking of women and children."

"Remember, you have to conduct this case quietly and don't tell anyone else, not even Ji Yanchen."

Qin Hean also realized the seriousness of Kong Yuqi's case and agreed.

In the past, His Majesty would often turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to officials' complaints, and would act indifferent. He would choose to continue to indulge in his own stupidity and incompetence, and would not care about national affairs at all. He would only blindly follow the Regent and ask him questions, and would not dare to have any opinions. However, as time goes by, His Majesty has gradually grown up. He began to understand the responsibilities he shoulders, and gradually realized that the country needs more loyal and honest officials instead of a mob.

"Master Qin, let's go."

"Let him be quiet for a while. I won't stand in front of him anymore, lest he hate me even more."

Gu Qingluo walked deeper into the corridor and said, "Let's go and interrogate those three prostitutes to see if there are any clues."

Kong Yuqi couldn't hold back any longer after hearing what Gu Qingluo said. He sat on the ground, his wrinkled face full of tears. He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "My late emperor, did you see it?"

The emperor you personally chose has finally grown up!
