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

Gu Jianchu knew that the emperor had already asked Wen Zhu and Chong Feng to deal with the matter last night, so he was not surprised when he saw Lin Qi being brought in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lin Qi has been brought here." Chongfeng said and consciously stepped aside.

Two guards pushed Lin Qi from behind, and he fell to the ground.

Lin Qi looked up with lifeless eyes at the emperor and empress sitting on the high throne.

The other ministers also reacted. The emperor had just ordered a thorough investigation of Lin Qi when Lin Qi was brought here by Chongfeng. The emperor and the empress made it clear that they wanted to punish the Chief Censor. Lin Ling was just an excuse, otherwise why would they bring him here so quickly.

Many ministers couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Xie Ci'an tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes like a hawk staring at Lin Qi, who was curled up on the ground. His cold voice rang out amid the noisy voices, "Lin Qi, how did you get your official position?"

The young masters of noble families who were hunting were completely unaware of what was happening here. They were still chasing hares and elk in the woods. Occasionally, when they passed by a forest, they would scare away a flock of birds.

Lin Qi was extremely weak. After being tortured, there was no part of his body that didn't hurt, even breathing was painful. No wonder everyone was afraid of the criminal law of the Imperial City Division.

Lin Qi's dead gaze fell on the blood-soaked Lord Zhang, and his voice was hoarse as he spoke, "It was recommended by Lord Zhang, the Chief Censor."

"Why did the Chief Censor recommend you?" Chongfeng asked in a cold voice, stepping hard on Lin Qi's hand that had been punished before.

Lin Qi screamed in pain, and that heart-wrenching cry made the ministers present feel a chill on their backs. Lin Qi tried to regulate his breathing and told the truth, "Because I gave my sister Lin Ling to Lord Zhang for his enjoyment, Lord Zhang gave me this honor for my sister's sake and recommended me to the Censorate."

"How did you know about this?" Chongfeng's eyes gradually became ugly.

Lin Qi didn't dare to hide anything now. "I heard about this from a classmate. His father used the same trick to get a position in the Ministry of Rites from the Chief Censor. He said his father got the position by sending his beautiful sister to the Chief Censor to enjoy the best food and drink. That's why I had the crazy idea to send my sister to the Chief Censor as well."

"After all, the Chief Censor is also a high-ranking official in the capital. It's better for my sister to follow him than to follow a poor scholar. By the way, she can also change her official position. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, Xie Qingzhi, who was watching the excitement from the side, could no longer hold back and rushed forward to kick Lin Qi twice, "How shameless! If you want to help your sister, just maintain the relationship, then maintain the relationship, don't make yourself sound so righteous."

"I didn't. The Chief Censor did promise to let my sister live a good life, so I agreed. Otherwise, why would I push my sister into the fire pit?" Lin Qi retorted, putting most of the blame on the Chief Censor, leaving himself with the image of someone who was doing it for the good of his sister.

【Look at what you said, can you believe it? 】

[Lin Ling and you are not born of the same mother. Because of Lin Ling's mother, you and your mother have not had a good life in the mansion. You even blamed all the blame for your own bad life on the other mother and daughter, selling Lin Ling's mother out. And now you are still considering your sister.]

[If you were to try to fool a ghost with this nonsense, I don't think any ghost would believe it.]

Xie Qingzhi was so angry that he laughed. "Don't make so many excuses for yourself. Giving your sister to someone else in exchange for an official position is an exchange. Why bother looking for those useless excuses? Are you trying to find some high-sounding reasons to make yourself feel at ease for the wrong you did? If you really wanted to do good for Lingling, you wouldn't have given Lin Ling to someone else as a concubine. It would have been much better to help Lin Ling find a good family to marry."

"Even if you can't marry a high-ranking official, can't you find someone from a more ordinary family? I remember that your Lin family is a merchant family. Even if your father passed away, he left you a lot of property. Finding a suitable family shouldn't be difficult. Even if you find a poor family, you can give your sister a little more dowry. Can Lin Ling still live a bad life?"

"You're both a hypocrite and a hypocrite. You want to sell your sister but you don't want to say it out loud. You're shameless."

Lin Qi was speechless after being confronted by Xie Qingzhi. He wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

Gu Jianchu almost clapped his hands in approval; Xie Qingzhi really enjoyed scolding him.

Gu Jianchu coughed lightly and said, "Qiutou, go take my eldest sister aside."

After all, Mr. Zhang’s case still needs to be dealt with.

Qiu Tao immediately stepped forward and asked Xie Qingzhi to come aside.

Xie Qingzhi was so angry that his face turned ugly. He sat on the armchair beside him and gasped for breath.

Gu Jianchu filled a bowl of bayberry soup and handed it to Zhu Xia, indicating that Zhu Xia should bring it to Xie Qingzhi.

Adding ice cubes to bayberry soup is the best way to relieve heat.

After Xie Qingzhi drank a bowl of it, she felt a little better. She couldn't let herself be pissed off to death by these scumbags.

Xie Ci'an's gaze fell on Master Zhang standing beside him, and his voice was lazily, "Zhang Heng, do you have any explanation for Lin Qi's accusation?"

Zhang Heng's fingers were tightly covering the bloody hole poked by Xie Qingzhi. He looked a little decadent and did not try to defend himself as before. He had now realized that everything today was a trap set by the emperor. The emperor must have obtained some evidence a long time ago, otherwise he would not have exposed it at this time. All his struggles were like a cat watching the dying struggle of its prey.

Zhang Heng said in a hoarse voice, "I have nothing to explain. It was indeed Lin Qi who gave his sister to me, and that's why I helped them get the official position."

"But I didn't make a promise to them. They took the initiative to buy the house and sent their relatives to live in it, and then gave it to me."

Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. For a moment, she felt that the man beside her was a stranger.

Gu Jianchu deliberately did not let Ruan go far, so he could hear the movements here clearly. When Ruan heard Zhang Heng admitted to having improper relationships with those women, a look of disbelief flashed across her eyes, and even her hand holding the pen was shaking. She could not believe that Zhang Heng actually had so many women hiding outside. Zhang Heng always lied to her that he went out to socialize to earn money for her, asked her to keep an eye on Madam Zhang, and even asked her to drug Madam Zhang.

When Zhu Xia noticed Ruan's movements and expression, she couldn't help but curl up the corner of her mouth into a cold smile, and urged her, "Write quickly, the Queen is still waiting for it."

Ruan gradually calmed down, but Zhang Heng's words kept circling in her mind.

How many things is Zhang Heng hiding from him?
