The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"Also order the current Qinghe County Magistrate to go to Qingzhou to investigate all the unjust, false, and wrongful convictions committed by these individuals in recent years, as well as all evidence of forced prostitution of women of good character. Send those women who were forced back home and provide them with comfort."

After Xie Ci'an finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Mo, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said, "I will give you one last chance. Do you want to tell me or not?"

Liang Mo knew that even if he denied it to death, it was too late to change the situation.

What he didn't expect was that there were the emperor's secret agents and spies everywhere. The reason why this matter was exposed must be closely related to the emperor's spies.

Liang Mo huddled on the ground, his voice trembling barely. "I say, I say everything. I opened a prostitution house with the Qingzhou County Magistrate, specifically to trick the poor locals into prostitution. Even if their families discovered something was wrong and reported it to the government, they would dismiss the case due to insufficient evidence."

"As for the Qinghe County Magistrate, he knew what we had done and wanted to report it to the Emperor. We were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so we decided to go all out and get rid of the Qinghe County Magistrate. The Qinghe County Magistrate's immediate superior was my brother-in-law, so my brother-in-law resolved the matter by claiming that the Qinghe County Magistrate had died suddenly, and reported it to the court."

"Your Majesty, I have confessed everything I have done. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life."

Cheng Song waved his hand and led Liang Mo out of the hall.

When Xie Ci'an's gaze fell on Cen Xiu.

Cen Xiu, already frightened, could no longer resist the shock and blurted out, "Your Majesty, I confess. I confess everything. I wrote the letter of denunciation against Wan Gaofeng and Liang Mo. My goal was to bring them down. With two fewer competitors, I have a chance to become the dean of Yousong Academy."

"Also, I secretly had a mistress outside my wife's home. That mistress was my cousin. I even secretly swapped my cousin's child with my wife's. I already know I was wrong, and I will definitely make things right when I return."

Cheng Song glanced at Xie Ci'an suspiciously.

They did not receive the letter accusing Cen Xiu, so Cen Xiu confessed everything without hesitation.

I guess he was really scared.

If you have never done anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.

Looking at Jiang Fengmian standing aside, although he was also afraid that the emperor would be furious and cause millions of deaths, he knelt on the ground with his back straight, without feeling guilty or afraid. After all, he had never done anything wrong, so he was not panicked.

[Cen Xiu was horrified when he saw Liang Mo being executed. It was indeed a case of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.]

Cen Xiu had done nothing wrong, so the emperor couldn't deal with him directly. He coldly ordered, "Remove him from all his positions at Yunkai Academy and send him back to Cuizhou, where he will be handed over to the prefect of Cuizhou for disposal."

Chongfeng went to do it immediately.

Now Jiang Fengmian is the only one left in the hall.

[Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that. There were five people when they came, but in the end, only Jiang Fengmian was left competing. Could it be that fate brought him and *** back together again?]

Without the emperor's order, Jiang Fengmian knelt on the ground and dared not move.

"Get up." Xie Ci'an's lazy voice sounded in the hall.

After Jiang Fengmian expressed his gratitude, he slowly got up from the ground.

"Dean Jiang is self-reliant and self-disciplined, and he manages Chunqiu Academy in an orderly manner. I am relieved to hand Yousong Academy over to Dean Jiang. You can go to the Hanlin Academy to find Xiao Cong tomorrow, and Xiao Cong will arrange the rest of your matters." In addition to the Queen's thoughts, according to the investigation of the Imperial City Bureau, this person's ability is indeed the most outstanding, and he is Xie Ci'an's favorite candidate for the principal.

Jiang Fengmian did not disappoint his expectations. After so many deans had gotten into trouble one after another, he was the only one who had never done anything wrong. Even if he was reported, it was considered an unjust act.

Jiang Fengmian didn't expect that he could still stay in the capital, so he quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

Xie Ci'an waved his hand, and Jiang Fengmian naturally left the hall.

Gu Jianchu noticed that since Jiang Fengmian left, Xie Qingzhi's eyes followed Jiang Fengmian away.

【Tsk tsk tsk, Xie Qingzhi's second spring has arrived. 】

Gu Jianchu said with understanding, "Eldest sister, is there something on your mind? Why do you seem absent-minded? If you have something to worry about, please don't stay here with me."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingzhi instantly regained his composure.

I felt even more angry and annoyed.

The queen clearly knew everything, but she pretended to know nothing.

"I do have some things to deal with in my palace, so I'll go back first. I'll come back to talk to the Empress when I get to the Japanese Palace." After saying this, Xie Qingzhi left in a hurry.

Gu Jianchu stared at Xie Qingzhi's back, a slight smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Xie Qingzhi chased Jiang Fengmian all the way to the outside of the palace and finally caught up with Jiang Fengmian at the palace gate. After the carriage stopped, Xia Zhi stepped forward to help lift the curtain.

Jiang Fengmian had noticed Xie Qingzhi's carriage a long time ago and deliberately slowed down his pace. When Xie Qingzhi leaned out half of his body, Jiang Fengmian stepped forward and bowed. "Thank you very much for trusting me today and for your generosity in helping me."

"I saved you when you were little, so how could I let you be bullied by those little brats? You really need to change your temper, or they'll think you're a pushover and keep bullying you. I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming the headmaster of Yousong Academy."

"How about I invite you to Zuixianlou to help you celebrate?" Xie Qingzhi looked at the man in front of her with anticipation.

"I'm just not good at arguing. I was able to become the principal of Yousong Academy thanks to you. Even if we want to celebrate, it shouldn't be you who invites me, it should be me who invites you. By the way, thank you for helping me many times." Jiang Fengmian lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look into Xie Qingzhi's eyes.

Xie Qingzhi's eyes were too hot for him.

He was afraid that he would not be able to control the suppressed emotions in his heart.

"It doesn't matter who invites, Dean Jiang, please get in the carriage." Xie Qingzhi sat back in the carriage and waited for a long time but didn't see Jiang Fengmian get in. Instead, he stopped there and hesitated.

Xie Qingzhi's slender fingers lifted the carriage curtain again, and her eyes fell softly on Jiang Fengmian. "Dean Jiang doesn't have a carriage. If you don't get in the car, are you asking me to wait for you at Zuixian Tower? Even if you run as fast as you can, Zuixian Tower is still some distance away. I don't have that much time to wait for you."

Jiang Fengmian finally got on Xie Qingzhi's carriage hesitantly.

Xie Qingzhi looked at Jiang Fengmian sitting in a corner of the carriage, her whole body curled up into a ball, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Dean Jiang, am I really that scary?"
