Ao Jiarong gradually fell into confusion.

Ever since the little princess came to the throne, it seems like a new cult has emerged in the court.

There was a group of ministers who always looked dazed when their colleagues were speaking, and then their expressions would change in turn, from expectation at the beginning to excitement or anger, and so on.

They also have one thing in common, which is that they always look up at the golden platform from time to time.

The emotions in Ao Jiarong's eyes gradually became solemn.

Could it be...

What secret codes did Emperor Mingze give them?

Was he excluded?!

Ao Jiarong looked left and right suspiciously, but didn't get any response.

The cultists were waiting with bated breath for the heavenly voice.

Jiang Yingcheng's almond-shaped eyes stared at the small translucent panel in front of him, his eyes full of surprise.

[This Lord Ao is truly a talent! ]

The ministers looked disdainful.

Although court officials generally disliked officials from the Inspectorate and their evaluations were inevitably biased, Ao Jiarong was objectively annoying.

Different from Bi Honglang who wanted to make a comment on everything, Ao Jiarong only picked out those trivial matters that seemed ordinary to others. Every time he spoke, people had the urge to pry open his brain.

That's it, you still call him a talent?

Jiang Yingcheng, who was sitting on the golden stage, had no idea what everyone was thinking. He still lowered his head, immersed in the explosive news he had seen.

[What's the difference between him being like this and being kept by a prostitute? ! ! ] Shocked, her voice unconsciously rose a lot.

The ministers gasped.

This is the kind of talent!!

They can do this!!

[He used all his own money for household expenses, and then went to the brothel to trick Hua Niang into giving him food, drink and affection, and finally took money from her? ]

Jiang Yingcheng frowned halfway through reading it, "How dare you criticize Uncle Jiao when your character is so bad?!"

[Uncle Jiao rejected the large stack of banknotes handed over by the Lin family yesterday!] Jiang Yingcheng shook his head like a little adult and said "tsk" twice, [How can the gap between people be so big?!]

After hearing this, Jiao Hongmiao straightened his back with relief.

He was proud of his status and didn't want to waste words with this man, but the words in the little prince's mind could be heard by all the loyal ministers present!

This has been stamped by the all-knowing "Brother Tong"!

Ran Hongyi, the Minister of Works standing next to Jiao Hongmiao, tilted his head slightly and lowered his voice to gossip, "I remember that two months ago, when the Jinyiwei was investigating a case, they ran into Ao Jiarong walking out of Fenglin Lane. When they asked him the reason, he claimed that he accidentally got lost?"

Jiao Hongmiao endured it seriously for a moment, but finally couldn't resist his gossipy heart.

"It is said that Xing Junchu was lurking in that alley while investigating a case. I even saw him walking towards the Jianggu Building nearby and stayed there for several hours!"

"Ouch!"

The Jianggu Tower is a famous brothel!

This Lord Ao really enjoys playing around!

The discussion between the two soon attracted more court officials to join in. Although they could not move their bodies, they stretched their necks as far as possible.

"Lord Ao asked Hua Niang for money, and then spent it at the brothel. It can be considered as self-production and self-sale in Fenglin Lane!"

"I remember that Ao Jiarong's wife is the only daughter of Lord Jiang Maoxue, right?!"

"hiss--"

Several people turned their heads to look at Jiang Maoxue who was diagonally behind them.

Jiang Maoxue's face turned ashen, and the veins on his neck bulged, making him look like he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

but--

With little success.

He roared in his heart.

Be at peace!

His daughter must divorce this scumbag!

Jiang Maoxue turned around angrily and glared at Ao Jiarong, but saw that the other's expression was not much better than his.

Ao Jiarong's face was pale, with beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his temples.

He naturally noticed Jiang Maoxue's gaze, but he had no time to pay attention.

Although the discussions around him were not loud, they were loud enough for him to hear clearly. He didn't know why these two things were suddenly mentioned by the ministers, but he knew very well in his heart that once someone became interested in this matter, they would definitely be able to find clues.

Just as Jiang Maoxue was about to open his mouth to scold, he heard another surprised voice from the golden platform -

【ah! ! 】

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes were brightly lit by the candlelight: [Great! That Hua Niang finally realized that she was fooled by this Lord Ao. When Lord Ao disguised himself and asked for money yesterday, she directly tore Lord Ao's clothes and pushed him out of the room! ]

The voice of Naihu repeated in a rhythmic manner: [Wow~ Push. Out. The. Door! ]

There was silence in the court for a moment, and then suddenly more people began to talk.

"Come to think of it, I did hear yesterday that a big joke happened in a brothel in Maple Lane. I didn't expect that—"

Ha, it turns out it’s you!

He usually acts very upright when reviewing other people's manuscripts, but it turns out that he plays dirtier than anyone else in private!

[Hey, Cheng Cheng was saying it, how could this Lord Ao dare to go beyond his level and report to my Uncle Jiao, so that's how it is! ]

Jiang Yingcheng shook his head, and his excited expression seemed to say, "I finally discovered your secret."

[As soon as Lord Ao was pushed out of the room by Lady Hua, he ran into someone from the Lin residence who had come to look for him. He accepted a thick stack of banknotes from them!]

[Oh~ Look, even the people in the Lin residence know where to find someone! ]

【Isn’t it embarrassing? 】

The childish voice was full of sarcasm, and the ministers couldn't help but look sideways when they heard it.

Look, even a little girl like Her Highness the Princess knows this, how can a big person like you not know it?!

Someone couldn't help but sneered: "You want to go to a place like that without any money? You must have been kicked out by Hua Niang, right?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Ao is indeed a good official in the eyes of the people. He just took the money and did the work for others."

"It's just pitiful for Lord Jiao. Those who didn't receive the money will be reported by those who did."

Ao Jiarong: “!!!”

When he was doing business with the people from the Lin Mansion yesterday, he had clearly confirmed carefully that no one was eavesdropping, and the people from the Lin Mansion had also been carefully disguised, making sure there was no risk of being discovered, so he dared to take the money with confidence.

How did this group of people know about this in such a short time? !

Ao Jiarong didn't dare to look up at the expression of Emperor Mingze who was sitting on the high platform, but the sense of oppression that belonged only to the emperor hit his shoulders heavily, causing his legs to tremble and he almost fainted.

He was not sure whether the discussions around him had stopped. The constant roar in his ears made it impossible for him to hear any other sounds.

half an hour.

"Boom-"

Jiang Yingcheng, who was still immersed in the chronicle of Ao Jiarong's life and happily looking for melons, was startled by the sudden loud noise. Just as he raised his head, he saw that the melon owner who was so high-spirited just now had fallen straight to the ground and looked like he had fainted.

[Huh?] Jiang Yingcheng stretched his neck and looked down, [We were just talking fine, why did he suddenly faint?]

The eyes of the ministers who spoke just now wandered.

do not know.

They don't know either!
