Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

Chapter 77: Your Majesty, please severely punish the Sixth Prince!

When it was almost dawn, all the civil and military officials had gathered at the palace gate.

As the young eunuch opened the side door, officials filed in and today's morning court began.

All the ministers bowed and saluted. Jin Tianci rubbed his brows and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

Zhang Ju didn't buy the medicine. He already knew the whole story and couldn't help but secretly hate these two bastards. They were not good people!

"If there is something to do, start the show, if there is nothing to do, leave the court~"

Zhang Ju shouted as usual, and a figure jumped out impatiently.

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching the Sixth Prince Jin Xuan for oppressing the people and squeezing the merchants!"

Although the Censor-in-Chief was a minor official, he had the power to report matters upon hearing rumors.

Censor Zhang is still young and does not need the Shenglonghuohuo Pills, but he naturally has to do as the boss above asks.

"Oh? Tell me in detail!"

Jin Tianci already knew about it, but at this moment he could only pretend that he knew nothing.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince relied on his status as a prince to frame a small merchant without any evidence, causing him to lose his business and being imprisoned in Shengdu Prefecture Prison!"

"Is this true?" Jin Tianci pretended to be surprised.

Censor Zhang shouted, "This is absolutely true. Your Majesty, please severely punish the Sixth Prince!"

Wang Mian, the Imperial Censor, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I can testify to this. I happened to be passing by at the time and saw everything!"

The Ministry of Revenue's official stepped out and said, "I have also seen it. The Sixth Prince sent his minions to harass the people and frame them at will! He treats the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty as nothing!"

The big guys remained calm and sent out a few minions to lead the charge, mainly to test His Majesty's attitude.

If His Majesty is furious, then the matter will end there. If His Majesty is not tough, then they can try to fight for it.

Jin Tianci smiled, "Is it true that the Sixth Prince is oppressing merchants? Are merchants just common people... or do they have other identities?"

Everyone in the hall was shocked. His Majesty hated gangs the most, and Fang Hao's identity...

Wang Mian gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Hao has a gang, but this person is different from ordinary gangs. He does not oppress the people. Instead, he is keen on business. He formed a gang just to protect his property!"

"And this man donated 30% of the profits from his business to the people!"

Wang Mian decided to take a gamble. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but if the gamble succeeded, he would catch the emperor's eye, and it would not be impossible for him to move up in official rank.

Jin Tianci's face darkened, "Wang Mian! Are you deceiving me? Look at what you are saying!"

Seeing the emperor getting angry, Wang Mian's heart trembled, "Reply...Reply to Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense!"

Su Quan was calm and composed, thinking to himself, His Majesty's acting skills are getting better and better!

Fang Hao represents the power behind him and will escort the prince of Qi soon. Your Majesty is just pretending, probably wanting to cover up the matter.

Wang Mian suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Lord Bao!"

Jin Tianci, "......"

This guy reacts pretty quickly!

Originally, he just wanted to take control of Wang Mian and make his attitude clear, but who knew that this guy would report the matter to Bao Longxing.

In front of all the civil and military officials, Jin Tianci couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to ask, "Mr. Bao?"

At this critical moment, His Majesty will never let the Sixth Prince hurt Fang Hao.

Bao Longxing didn't want to get involved in this mess, but he didn't expect that the fire would burn himself.

Helplessly, he took a step forward and said, "What Wang Zhongcheng said is true. I have never heard that Fang Hao bullied the market. He did donate a lot of silver."

"..."

Jin Tianci was speechless. Now that things had come to this, what else could he say?

Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please punish the Sixth Prince severely!"

This is a third-rank official, a real big shot!

Looking at the white beard of the Minister of Rites, Jin Tianci felt a toothache. You are so old, and you still want to be so energetic?

As the Minister of Rites came forward, officials from the Ministry of Rites also came out and shouted, "Your Majesty, please severely punish the Sixth Prince!"

The Minister of Revenue chuckled and took out a scroll from his sleeve, "Your Majesty, Fang Hao was framed for doing business peacefully, causing panic among the people."

"This is a joint letter from all the merchants in Shengdu. We hope that Your Majesty will clear Fang Hao's name and severely punish the Sixth Prince!"

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue also came out to agree.

Zhang Ju took the scroll with understanding and then handed it to Jin Tianci.

Jin Tianci just opened it and took a casual look. It was full of names. He knew without thinking that these merchants were probably all old!

With the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue taking the lead, the other officials also shouted at the same time, "Your Majesty, please severely punish the Sixth Prince!"

To be honest, there are not even half of the officials in this hall who want to impeach the Sixth Prince today. After all, not everyone needs the Life-Resilience Pill!

But the remaining officials are not stupid. If everyone impeaches and they remain silent, wouldn’t that be unsociable?

Besides, with so many officials impeached, even if His Majesty is furious, it is impossible to deal with them all.

Then a strange scene appeared in the hall, almost all the officials were impeaching the Sixth Prince.

Jin Tianci was speechless. All the civil and military officials were so unanimous. There had never been such a scene except when he ascended the throne!

"I hereby declare that the Sixth Prince Jin Xuan is frivolous and immoral. He shall be fined 5000 taels of silver, ordered to reflect on his mistakes for three months, have his fiefdom reduced by 300 households, and be punished to copy the books of sages 10 times!"

All the officials shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Jin Tianci looked annoyed, "Anything else? If not, then leave the court!"

Seeing that no one started to speak, Zhang Ju immediately shouted, "Retreat~"

After leaving the palace, the old men smiled knowingly and immediately got on the carriage. They had to hurry home and let the servants line up, otherwise they might not be able to buy it if they were late.

The Minister of Rites with a white beard was particularly agile. After jumping onto the carriage, he immediately asked the driver to speed up.

After all the officials left, Jin Tianci also stood up and walked towards Dayang Palace without saying a word.

Zhang Ju secretly laughed in his heart, Fang Hao really didn't know how to live or die. No matter what, the Sixth Prince was still the Majesty's biological son. Now that he had offended the Majesty, even if he was lucky enough to come back alive, he would not have a good life.

He still remembered that when they first met, that damn guy dared to call him a moron, and he still remembers it to this day!

Now, before he could find a chance to put up an eye drop, Fang Hao had already walked into the trap.

Suddenly, Jin Tianci stopped.

After a dry cough, Jin Tianci said, "Zhang Ju, tell Fang Hao to stop wasting time on trivial matters. Big things are the most important!"

Zhang Ju was shocked. Why did His Majesty have such an attitude? Could it be that he didn't care about this matter?

Then why do you look so unhappy?

After agreeing, Zhang Ju secretly hated himself in his heart, you little thief, you are lucky!

Just as Zhang Ju was about to leave, Jin Tianci pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Bring some Shenglonghuohuo Pills when you come back!"

Zhang Ju's body froze, and he said angrily, "Yes!"
