Chapter 541

When Emperor Mingde thought of Tang Chujun, he thought of Shi Yunqi, the "first wife's own son" who had been replaced and abused, and who had topped the imperial examination.

Princess Haiyan who was sold was the little girl who could dream!

This! Every one of them is someone he cherishes and hides in his heart.

The more Emperor Mingde listened, the more distressed and angry he became. He asked in a deep voice, "Is this Wen still imprisoned in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Eunuch Qi shook his head and replied, "I heard that Shi Yunqi sent Concubine Wen to the government office. The charges were for human trafficking, adultery, and confusion of family bloodlines. Oh, and the man who committed adultery with her was also sent to the government office."

Emperor Mingde's eyes were gloomy.

How dare a mere concubine like her bully the principal wife!

This Shi Chengxuan! He has the same character as his father, Marquis Jian'an, who is not good enough to accomplish anything, but always fails. He clearly favors his concubine over his wife!

Such a ridiculous thing actually happened in his northern wing. This case must be treated as a typical example. Otherwise, there is no telling how many officials will do such things as favoring concubines and killing their wives, thus violating the etiquette system.

Emperor Mingde was very worried about the Jian'an Marquisate. Logically, the old marquis had passed away, and considering Shi Chengyi's contribution to disaster relief, he should have issued an imperial decree to express condolences.

But he didn't want to comfort Lord Jian'an at all, and didn't want to give this man face. But sometimes, face is given to living people.

If he did not issue an imperial decree to express condolences, these powerful people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak would inevitably look down on Shi Yunqi and his sister.

Emperor Mingde thought about it and issued an edict.

As soon as the emperor issued an order, the powerful people in the capital took action and rushed to the Marquis Jian'an's Mansion.

Emperor Mingde thought about it again and again, and then ordered, "Summon Jingzhao Yin Zhao Liren to the audience."

Zhao Liren hadn't been summoned by Emperor Mingde for a long time, and he was a little nervous when he was suddenly called. Have you done anything wrong recently?

He recalled what he had done and felt pretty good about himself. At most, he had been lucky recently and won a few more silver coins from officials.

Hey! Won't these bastards sue me together after losing some money?

Zhao Liren knelt in front of Emperor Mingde with a serious face, preparing a preface to explain the importance of small gambling for pleasure.

On the subject, some thoughts and experiences on how court officials can better serve the court if they relax...

But when he heard that Emperor Mingde asked him to take over the case of a concubine in the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, he immediately felt relieved.

I don’t need to prepare my thoughts and experiences in advance. Since those bastards didn’t jointly sue me, I can still fight them in the future.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think about other things. What was so special about a minor concubine's case that could alarm the emperor?

After checking, I found out!

Wow! So it’s about the time when the clouds started to rise! No wonder!

The dream of a girl in the capital! A favorite in the eyes of the emperor. This case must be handled well.

After further investigation, wow! It turns out that it is related to Princess Haiyan Shi Anxia.

Mr. Huang's "Mr.", the legendary girl! This case must be handled well.

After further investigation, I found that this actually involved an adulterous couple. What a damn bad luck!

If I handle this case, I'm afraid I'll be unlucky for several months and won't be able to win any money from those bastards.

Emperor Mingde gave Zhao Liren the task of investigating the case and ordering the execution to be carried out in the street at 3:15 p.m. tomorrow.

From the emperor's words, Zhao Liren summarized several key ideas.

First, it was treated as a key case of "favoring concubines and killing wives" to sound a warning to court officials.

Zhao Liren thought to himself, fortunately, he has done well in this regard, with a wife who grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart. The main problem is that this jealous and fierce man at home controls him tightly.
