The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

It was also because Emperor Taihe deliberately exposed these shocking news that made the court officials too busy to take care of themselves. When he announced to the world that Empress Chen had been executed and her position as empress was abolished, it did not cause much stir.

The people had seen enough of the excitement of the Black Kirin Guards arresting officials' mistresses and concubines, and no longer had sympathy for Empress Chen, so her death naturally did not cause much commotion.

Compared to Empress Chen's death, the people are now most concerned about how many married women Chen Shou has cheated on, and which ministers in the court he has cheated on.

Unfortunately, even if those people knew that they were cuckolds, they would not be stupid enough to make the family scandal public and let everyone know about it, so that everyone in the world could laugh at their own mistakes.

The common people could not see such excitement at all.

That is, Xie Ying secretly asked Xiangxiang to sneak into various mansions so that she could eat these melons.

The explosive news released by Emperor Taihe caused all families to conduct self-investigations. It would have been fine if they hadn't done so, but after a careful investigation, they actually uncovered quite a few adulterous affairs.

But most of them have nothing to do with Chen Shou, and the adulterer is someone else.

Xie Ying watched for half a month and was fed a lot of melodramatic stories about adultery, but among them, there were only three women who slept with Chen Shou.

The three of them were either born well, or had extraordinary family backgrounds, or their husbands held important positions in their families.

I have to say, Chen Shou is quite picky.

Xie Ying had originally suspected Jia, after all, this woman's attitude towards Jiang Chi was not very good.

But after secretly taking blood samples from Jiang Yao, Jiang Xue and Jiang Chi for testing, she found that she was overthinking.

Jiang Yao and Jiang Xue are indeed Jiang Chi's flesh and blood.

Although Jia's temper was a little bad, she did not treat Jiang Chi like Bai Yuzhu did to Xie You, cheating on him and giving birth to a pair of bastards.

For Jiang Chi, this can probably be considered a blessing in disguise?

……

Just as the farce in each family gradually subsided, the corruption case that Emperor Taihe had previously sent people to investigate finally came to a conclusion.

The local officials were indeed seriously corrupt and colluded with grain merchants to secretly resell the grain in the granary and put sand and gravel in sacks in the granary to make up the number.

They had been doing this secretly for many years, and when they were discovered, they killed the witnesses to silence them.

However, more than half a year passed between the time they killed people and the time Xie Yun submitted a letter of accusation.

The servant who filed the complaint to the emperor had actually come to the capital secretly three months ago. At that time, he was injured and was being hunted. He was rescued by Xie Yun and secretly hid.

Xie Yun learned the whole story from him and found someone to treat his injuries.

Because it was not the best time to expose the matter, Xie Yun deliberately delayed the progress of his injury in order to prevent that person from doing anything bad. It took him more than two months to finally recover from his injury.

If it weren't for the book "The Strange Dreams of the Mandarin Ducks", and if it weren't for Qu Wan'er's sudden accident, she had to take the child to the Xie Mansion, which led to the exposure of the scandal of Xie Yun keeping a mistress. He would not have chosen that time to hurriedly submit a memorial to report the corruption case.

Originally, according to his and the Chen family's plan, they wanted to use this corruption case to get rid of those involved. In this way, they could take advantage of the vacant position and arrange their own people to take over.

Xie Yun can also make great contributions by reporting and gain higher reputation, which will facilitate his successful assumption of the position of prime minister in the future.

Unfortunately, a series of subsequent events completely disrupted the plans of Xie Yun and the Chen family.

When Emperor Taihe saw the schemes of Xie Yun and the Chen family, he couldn't help but sneer in anger.

In anger, he not only announced the matter to the world, but also sentenced Xie Yun's entire family to exile at the border, and had the words "criminal Xie Yun" tattooed on Xie Yun's face.

Ever since Xie Yun got the tattoo on his face, he felt as if all the bones in his body had been pulled out. His back was always hunched and he could never straighten it up again.

Xie You huddled in a corner of the cell. Ever since he saw the tattoo on his face, he never dared to look at it again.
