The entire Chongyun Palace immediately became silent.

After a while, Jiang Yingcheng's voice rang out.

[Hey, why are the words uncle said exactly the same as what Cheng Cheng wanted to say? ]

Gao Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Emperor Mingze had clearly told them that they must not let the little princess know that they could hear her thoughts.

It was just that the feeling of having the upper hand just now was too overwhelming, and he blurted out what he said impulsively.

Gao Siyuan's eyes wandered, not daring to look at the expression of Emperor Mingze on the golden platform.

Qu Kaiyu's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

He looked around at the colleagues who had gone to the Duke's Mansion with him yesterday, and his intention to seek help was obvious.

Several people avoided his gaze with flickering eyes.

Gao Siyuan: “…”

Jiang Yanchuan's gaze slowly shifted from Jiang Yingcheng, whose eyes were wide open, to Gao Siyuan, whose face was flushed, and he suddenly asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Gao?"

If the little girl continues to think along the same line of thought, even if she has no doubts, the "system" will think more.

Gao Siyuan had a bitter face.

How could he know what the little princess meant? He was just a mouthpiece repeating the little princess's thoughts.

Normally, he despised those troublemakers and would stay as far away from them as possible. How could he know whether the other party was corrupt or not?

Gao Siyuan knew that Emperor Mingze was actually asking about the "Brother Tong" in the little princess' heart, but he was really unsure.

If that "Brother Tong" didn't respond for a long time, how would he get out of this embarrassing situation?

If he can't explain himself today, Qu Kaiyu will definitely pounce on him and cut him into pieces!

Qu Kaiyu had already started to kneel down and shout that he was innocent.

"Your Majesty! I have been an official for many years, always loyal to the king and the country, and I have always been incorruptible! General Gao slandered me just because of a small quarrel in the court. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for me!"

He turned his head and secretly glanced at several ministers who were on good terms with him, wanting them to help him criticize Gao Siyuan, but was surprised to find that several of them looked at him with mysterious expressions and then turned their heads away.

Qu Kaiyu's heart was beating fast.

What's wrong with these people?

When they were denouncing the military officers together on normal days, it was obvious that one or two of them were more eloquent than him.

Are they scared by just some groundless remarks?

The court is filled with a bunch of villains who are always changing their attitude according to the situation!

He pulled the corner of his lips with some disdain.

Gao Siyuan became even more anxious.

Qu Kaiyu pretended to howl in grief and anger. If he couldn't quickly continue the conversation, not only would the momentum be reduced, but the atmosphere would also become even more weird.

Some court officials have already begun to speak up for Qu Kaiyu.

Several people were so angry that they seemed to want to eat him alive.

Fortunately——

The little princess didn't keep him waiting too long.

Jiang Yingcheng's attention was always easily diverted. Seeing this man shouting his injustice so shamelessly, he immediately started a new career.

[Let me check, let me check. Um, last March, I collected 100,000 taels of silver from the magistrate of Changning County...]

[In May, the county magistrate of Yingfu County collected 150,000 taels...]

[August... 130,000 taels...]

【November……】

[Wow! He is even more greedy than the Minister of Personnel! ]

Gao Siyuan was overjoyed and mechanically repeated what the little princess said in her heart.

He was more careful this time and did not repeat them all. Instead, he shuffled the order and only talked about a few of the larger ones.

Ever since Gao Siyuan began to state the specific charges against him, the few people who had just supported Qu Kaiyu seemed to be choked by something and could not utter a word for a long time.

He said it so confidently and specifically, especially in a place like Chongyun Palace...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like something that was made up.

Qu Kaiyu, who was kneeling on the ground, had his back stiff and his eyes wide open in horror.

This was because every single piece of data Gao Siyuan mentioned was data that he had already memorized after looking through his personal account books late at night.

But how did Gao Siyuan know all this? !

But every time he accepted a bribe, he would take the trouble to plan the steps precisely down to every tiny detail. He believed that if the group of people who bribed him had not exposed themselves, the matter would never have been exposed!

Thinking of this, Qu Kaiyu closed his eyes and then opened them again, forcing himself to calm down.

"Ridiculous!" He heard his own voice echoing throughout Chongyun Palace, "You said I was corrupt and took bribes, so I am corrupt and took bribes?"

Qu Kaiyu sneered: "If everyone in the court is like General Gao, trying to slander the court officials without any evidence, what kind of law can we have for Da Rui?!"

Gao Siyuan was speechless for a moment.

The fact that this man could speak so high-soundingly proves that he was extremely careful in hiding the evidence, and it might be difficult to find the evidence.

Seeing Gao Siyuan's reaction, several people in the court began to support Qu Kaiyu again.

They belong to the same camp and they see each other every day. If it is really discovered that the other party is corrupt and accepts bribes, I can also say that I did not know him well enough.

In the noisy environment, Gao Siyuan subconsciously looked in the direction of the little princess.

The other side did not disappoint his expectations——

【Hey? 】

[Hidden in the house in the suburbs of Beijing under his brother's name? ]

[All of it is official silver?! ]

[Ahhh, let’s go dig, shall we? ! ! ]

Gao Siyuan let out a long sigh and finally felt completely relieved.

Although he felt a little sorry for the little princess, he had to grab the credit for today!

"No evidence?" Gao Siyuan puffed out his chest, feeling as happy as if he had won a battle. "Then where did your brother get the government silver hidden in his house outside Beijing?!"

With a loud bang——

It seemed as if a huge noise exploded beside his ears, and Qu Kaiyu knelt down on the ground. In the cold winter, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

There was panic and despair in his eyes.

Because these silver coins had official seals on them, he had never touched them since he collected them and buried them all underground in his brother's house.

But now, he is about to fall into an irretrievable situation because of the stolen money that he has not touched even a single cent!

Gao Siyuan looked on with joy as the imperial guards rushed forward to escort Qu Kaiyu out of Chongyun Palace, and he felt much more refreshed.

But his good mood didn't last long.

Seeing that the corrupt official was imprisoned by her father, Jiang Yingcheng's wish to secretly dig up the silver was dashed. She lost interest in the matter and went back to join 007 in digging up what happened in the Duke's Mansion last night.

[Hahahaha, who is so bad as to set someone else's yard on fire? ]

Gao Siyuan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Do not!

and many more!

We still have official silver to dig out!

Such a big thing, you are not interested? !

[Oh, this is the general who sent the corrupt official to jail! ]

Gao Siyuan: “…”

In a trance, he saw Duke Wang, who had just calmed down, turn around very slowly and stare at him fiercely.

Duke Wang stared intently and spoke silently:

Look at me directly, you bastard!
