At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

At this point, the empress no longer needed to consider Xu Jinsong's face.

All the charges of rebellion and treason against Pei Xingyuan, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, have now been sent to the capital by Xia Yun.

She wanted to see what Xu Miao and his people had to say!

Soon, in less than half an hour, a group of Shaanxi and Gansu officials led by Pei Xingyuan were escorted to the outside of the Qingxuan Palace by the Imperial Guards.

At the same time, Xu Miao and others who were kneeling on the stone steps outside the Qingxuan Palace all showed expressions of shock on their faces.

"Master Pei? What's going on?!"

Xu Miao stared in amazement at Pei Xingyuan who was imprisoned in the prison van.

Pei Xingyuan and others were seen wearing prison uniforms, covered in blood and dirt. Their legs were even broken alive.

This forced Pei Xingyuan and others to kneel in the prison car in extremely strange postures.

Pei Xingyuan and others, who were originally in a daze, suddenly woke up from their coma when they heard Xu Miao's voice!

"Young Lord, save us! Save us!"

"Please, young master, rescue us quickly!"

"..."

Pei Xingyuan and others all cried for help. The appearance of Xu Miao made them think they had found a life-saving straw.

They had just woken up but had not realized that they were not in the Xu Mansion, but outside the Qingxuan Palace!

Xu Miao and the court officials behind him were filled with confusion as they listened to Pei Xingyuan and others' cries for help.

Who had the guts to beat Pei Xingyuan and the others like this? And they were even imprisoned in a prison van!

Between lightning and flint!

Suddenly, a bolt from the blue sounded in Xu Miao's mind!

It’s Xia Yun!

It must be Xia Yun!

Only that guy has such courage! He dares to beat a governor of the imperial court like this!

Just when Xu Miao was feeling doubtful and uncertain, the door of Qingxuan Palace suddenly opened.

Several court officials, led by the empress, then walked out of the Qingxuan Palace.

When Xu Miao took a look, he saw that the faces of the empress and others were filled with expressions of uncontrollable anger!

At this point, even if Xu Miao was a fool, he would be able to understand what was going on.

Obviously, everything Pei Xingyuan said in the memorial was false!

Pei Xingyuan and other officials who were imprisoned in the prison car were stunned when they saw the empress and others suddenly appear. Everyone's face showed a look of extreme fear.

At this moment they finally realized that they were now in the imperial palace!

Before they arrived in Beijing, they already knew that Xia Yun had already written a memorial to the emperor reporting on their actions in Gansu.

Seeing the furious looks on the faces of the empress and others, Pei Xingyuan's people knew very well that the empress must have known about their crime of rebellion!

"Everyone says that you are the young minister. Although the ministers inside and outside the court are not as high-ranking as you, they still regard you as their leader."

When the scene was in complete silence, the empress slowly spoke, her eyes fixed on Xu Miao.

However, the coldness in his words made everyone present feel a chill.

"Young Lord, you are so majestic!"

In an instant, the empress's expression suddenly changed, and an unprecedented scolding came out of her mouth!

Upon hearing this, all the ministers present knelt on the ground in unison.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

All the ministers then spoke in unison.

As for Xu Miao, his face now showed an expression of fear and trepidation.

In front of these court officials, he could be a junior cabinet minister, whose status was only second to that of his father Xu Jinsong.

However, in front of the empress, he is nothing!

"Take a good look at this. This is the so-called loyal and virtuous person recommended by your young minister!"

The empress continued to scold, and as she spoke she raised her hand and threw Xia Yun's memorial in front of Xu Miao.

Xu Miao, who was trembling with fear in his heart, immediately picked up the memorial with both hands to check it.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it.

Even Xu Miao was shocked when he saw it!

It turns out that the collective mutiny of 100,000 troops mentioned by Pei Xingyuan was actually led by Pei Xingyuan alone!

Not only that, Pei Xingyuan actually led 50,000 troops to attack Shuodong City, intending to massacre all the soldiers and civilians in Shuodong City!

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I didn't know Pei Xingyuan had committed so many evil things in Gansu. Please punish him!"

There is no doubt that Xu Miao’s current power and status are not just because of Xu Jinsong.

His ability to get along with everyone is also essential.

After learning about Pei Xingyuan's illegal affairs, Xu Miao changed his tone on the spot and abandoned Pei Xingyuan as a chess piece!

Inside the prison van, Pei Xingyuan and the others became extremely panicked when they heard that Xu Miao had no intention of protecting them.

"Young Lord! You can't just ignore us! We are all your subordinates!"

"Young Lord, you once promised me that no matter what happens, you will definitely save us!"

"Young Lord, save us!"

"..."

Pei Xingyuan and others were like a group of people who were about to drown, grabbing the last piece of water grass in the water. Even though they knew there was no hope of saving them, they still made a last effort.

However, when their words fell into the ears of the empress and others, they felt disgusted on the spot.

All of these officials who were sent to the capital in prison were high-ranking officials in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and their official ranks were at least the second rank.

Although Xu Miao was called the Little Cabinet Minister, his actual official rank was only the third rank.

These so-called provincial governors actually regarded themselves as subordinates when facing Xu Miao. Such disregard for their status and dignity really made the empress and others feel disgusted!

As for Xu Miao who was kneeling on the ground, although he couldn't show it on the surface, in his heart he really wanted to tear the mouths of Pei Xingyuan and others alive!

It's fucking time, and these ignorant beasts are still trying to drag him down with them!

You know, although he wanted to deal with Xia Yun, he had never thought of such a capital crime as treason!

"I beg Your Majesty to immediately order a thorough investigation of the collusion and betrayal of Pei Xingyuan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu!"

With a strong will to survive, Xu Miao spoke loudly.

The group of court officials following behind Xu Miao also spoke in unison.

"I beg your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Pei Xingyuan!"

At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that the reason they were kneeling outside the Qingxuan Palace today was because Xia Yun's tyranny caused a mutiny in 100,000 troops.

"Pass on my order to immediately throw Pei Xingyuan and his men into the Heavenly Prison and hand them over to the Three Law Courts to verify their crimes of treason and betrayal. Once their crimes are verified, they will be executed immediately!"

The empress was too lazy to waste time with these guys, and immediately issued an order to try Pei Xingyuan and others!

As soon as the order was given, Xiao Yan quickly waved his hand and the imperial guards hurriedly escorted several prisoner cars out of the Qingxuan Palace.

Placing several bloody golf carts outside the Qingxuan Palace was not a very pretty sight.

After dealing with Pei Xingyuan and the others, the empress's gloomy gaze once again fixed on Xu Miao.

At this moment, everyone knew that Xu Miao, who led a group of ministers to force the emperor to abdicate, would not be able to get away with it today!
