The most taboo thing in the court is for subordinates to impeach their superiors, and Du Ye's behavior of instigating other officials is an even greater crime.

If such people are not severely punished, other officials will surely follow suit and the order in the court will be disrupted.

Fang Yizhi whispered, "Minister Du, I understand what you said very well, and I also know that Du Ye must be punished."

"I'm begging you to spare Du Ye's imprisonment. As for his dismissal from office, that's only right."

"If you can help me with this, I'll owe you a big favor!"

After saying this, Fang Yizheng clasped his hands together and bowed deeply towards Du He.

His wife has only one younger brother, Du Ye. If he is really sentenced to prison, Du Ye's life will be over.

And Fang Yizheng's life thereafter never had a moment of peace.

Du He thought for a moment, then said with a faint smile on his face.

"Brother Fang, I don't want you to owe me any favors. After all, this is not a big deal."

"But as an equal exchange, how about you help me find the crimes of the two Jingzhao Du officials?"

Forehead...

Hearing Du He's words, Fang Yizheng's expression froze instantly.

No wonder the second brother always suffers at the hands of Du He. This guy is really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say, and he doesn't care about the moral code of the underworld.

If it were an ordinary official, upon hearing that he owed a favor to a great man, he would more or less agree to the matter.

But Du He was a heartless guy. He simply offered him a simple exchange of benefits and forced him to accept it.

Otherwise, he was just ignorant and didn't give Du He face.

stunned for a moment.

Fang Yizhi gritted his teeth and replied: "Then it's a deal, I agree to your condition!"

I would rather die than have a friend die. His relationship with Jingzhao Du family was not a good one. Now, as long as he could resolve this important matter of his wife, everyone would be happy.

As for the descendants of the Jingzhao Du family, sooner or later they will be dealt with one by one by Du He.

He is just trying to get them out of this sea of suffering ahead of time so that they don't have to live in fear every day.

Du He smiled and said, "Brother Fang is a straightforward person, so I wish our cooperation goes smoothly!"

"But you have to get it done within two or three days, otherwise once the people from the Dali Temple sentence Du Ye, it will be too late to say anything."

"The people in the Dali Temple won't show any mercy. Even if I plead for Du Ye, it will probably be useless!"

Fang Yizheng's expression changed slightly at Du He's words.

If the people in the Dali Temple were heartless, they would not have hinted to him to come to Du He to plead for mercy, and they would not have moved Du Ye to a clean cell after seeing him pleading for mercy.

Fang Yizhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Minister Du, I will definitely give you an answer within three days!"

As long as he used the Fang family's resources to collect evidence of the crimes of the two Jingzhao Du officials, it would not be an easy task.

And even if we can't find any evidence of their crimes, we can send people to create some charges for them and this task can be accomplished smoothly.

After finishing their conversation, the two of them instantly fell silent and did not bring up any other topics.

Not long after, the carriage gradually stopped and Du Wu's voice rang out.

"Master, we have arrived at the Duke of Liang's mansion."

Fang Yizheng stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Minister Du, for seeing me off!"

After saying this, he turned and got off the carriage.

Looking at Fang Yizheng's leaving back, a faint smile appeared on Du He's lips.

If the people of the Jingzhao Du family knew that Fang Yizheng had also attacked them, I wonder if those old ghost clan elders would be so furious that their lungs would explode.

"interesting!"

Du He murmured softly, then said to Du Wu: "Du Wu, let's go back to the princess's mansion."

"promise!"

Du Wu drove the carriage and quickly left the prosperous Wubenfang.

...

Inside Princess Chengyang’s mansion.

When Du He walked into the front yard, he heard the sound of a naughty child throwing a tantrum and a loud cry coming from the lobby.

"I don't want to eat this kind of food. I want to eat the Overlord Beef Hoof made by my uncle!"

"Take it away, take it all away!"

Du He recognized the voice of this naughty child as the little guy, Crown Prince Li Jue.

The person who was crying loudly was no one else except that brat Du Ping'an.

"These two unlucky kids."

Du He muttered something, then shook his head and walked in.

It’s not easy to live a peaceful life when there is a naughty child at home!

In the lobby.

While Crown Princess Su Wan was arranging the dishes that were pushed around on the table, she gently persuaded Li Jue to eat the ox trotters on the table.

"This is not Overlord's ox hoof, it's not tasty at all."

"I want to eat the Overlord Beef Hoof made by my uncle!"

After Li Jue finished speaking, he crossed his arms over his chest and closed his mouth tightly.

No matter how his mother persuaded him, he just wouldn't open his mouth.

Du He saw the tear marks on Li Jue's face and guessed that this boy might have been punished by Su Wan.

Li Yi and Linglong were coaxing the crying Du Ping'an, with helpless expressions on their faces.

Linglong was the first to notice Du He coming in. She stood up and shouted in surprise.

"The Prince Consort is back!"

Hearing Linglong's shout, everyone in the hall looked over.

Even Du Ping'an, who was crying loudly, miraculously stopped crying.

Li Jue rolled over to his feet, then quickly ran to Du He, raised his head and spoke loudly.

"Uncle-in-law, I want to eat the Overlord Beef Hoof you made."

Du He pinched his chubby cheek and said, "You are such a picky person, always thinking about eating the Overlord Cow's Hoof."

"Please sit down for a moment. I'll make one for you."

Su Wan's expression did not change at all in response to Du He's rude behavior, and Li Jue had often been pinched on the face by Du He before, so he had long been used to it.

Now, hearing that his uncle-in-law wanted to make him beef trotters, his unhappy face instantly turned into an excited smile.

Li Jue jumped up and said, "Great, thank you, uncle-in-law!"

Su Wan glanced at Li Jue, then said to Du He with an apologetic look on her face.

"Prince Consort Du, I am sorry to trouble you."

In this era, people with a little status would not cook. After all, the saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen is deeply rooted in people's minds.

Especially for a powerful Minister of Works like Du He, asking him to go into the kitchen to cook for Li Jue might cause criticism from those with ulterior motives if the news got out.

Du He smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you are too kind."

After saying that, Du He first hugged Du Ping'an for a while, and then, under Li Jue's eager gaze, went to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills.

More than half an hour later.

The fragrant and delicious Overlord Beef Hoof was served on the table for several people.

Li Jue's eyes sparkled as he said, "What a nice smell!"

Then he didn't care about the heat, he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat with relish, shouting and talking loudly.

"My uncle's cooking is still the best!"

"Uncle, can I learn cooking from you?"

"From now on, I can make as many Bull Hoofs as I want to eat!"
