Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming's appearance made many people nervous.

Especially Fang Qingyuan, who had told him the news before, was now tightly clutching his sleeves, with worry written all over his face.

If he had known that His Highness was so unruly, he would have done it himself.

At least His Highness wouldn't be in such a state of trouble.

"See you, empress..."

At this moment, the official in the rear suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned their gaze away from Qin Ming.

Immediately, he saw Concubine Xiao Shu, who was wearing light makeup but could not hide her haggard appearance, walking into the Golden Palace with Wang Bao.

"Why is Concubine Xiao here?"

"The one who was arrested last night was Xiao Pingshan. I guess after she informed His Majesty, His Majesty allowed her to attend court today."

Many officials below began to discuss.

Concubine Xiao Shufei originally had a bad reputation in the court.

Today he even went to court openly.

All the officials were dissatisfied, thinking that this was not in line with the imperial regulations that the imperial harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

But there is no way, now Xiao Shufei's power in the court is almost one-sided.

Even if they were dissatisfied, no one dared to speak without Qin Ming's leadership.

"Your Majesty is here!"

After Concubine Xiao Shufei took the position of regent.

Sun Lianying, who was standing in the Golden Throne Hall, spoke loudly, and Emperor Qian walked in hurriedly with a group of eunuchs.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Ming standing at the front of all the officials.

His already bad complexion immediately fell.

Qin Ming didn't react at all, he just stood there quietly, neither sad nor happy.

"Long live His Majesty..."

As the process of attending court begins.

Emperor Qian waved his hand impatiently, asking everyone to be quiet.

Without any preparation, he yelled at Qin Ming:

"Qin Ming, are you trying to rebel against the heavens?"

"Father, I don't understand what you mean. Have I done something wrong again?"

Qin Ming spoke lightly, but there was a sting in his tone!

When did people who blatantly greed for money become so awesome?

If Emperor Qian dares to speak up for Zhao Jin and Xiao Pingshan today, Qin Ming doesn't mind scolding him in the court!

He is about to go to Lingnan, and he is not afraid of anyone!

Emperor Qian also noticed that something was wrong with Qin Ming today.

He didn't know why, but it seemed that Qin Ming's personality had become abnormal since he stepped down from the position of crown prince.

"Why are you arresting people?"

Emperor Qian was worried about the impact on the court, so he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and questioned Qin Ming.

"Father, instead of asking me these questions, you might as well ask them why they are greedy for money."

Qin Ming asked back.

Chen Shimao below was stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Qian Cai.

How much solid evidence does Your Highness have today?

It's so powerful!

Meeting Chen Shimao's gaze, Qian Cai was also shocked, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, not understanding the current situation.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Shimao trembled and his eyes went dark!

Your Highness, are you letting yourself go?

"How dare you! Am I asking you, or are you asking me?"

boom!

Emperor Qian was so angry that he slammed the table in front of him!

Staring at Qin Ming angrily.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Xiao Shufei added fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, Qin Ming forcibly arrested people and tortured them into confessing without a search warrant or even solid evidence!"

"This is simply a violation of the imperial court's laws and disregard of the imperial court's orders. They must be severely punished!"

Emperor Qian agreed with Concubine Xiao Shufei's words.

Just as he was about to say something, Chen Shimao immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a case of official corruption. Although the procedures you followed were questionable, since we have thoroughly investigated it, I believe this should not be considered a mistake."

Liu Yunbo, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, sneered and stood up and said:

"What the Prime Minister said is truly biased. Who said Zhao Jin and Xiao Pingshan were corrupt officials?"

Left Vice Minister Huang Youzhong also stood up and said:

"Even if corruption did occur, the case should have been investigated by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supreme Court. Your Highness is truly disregarding the law and using extremely unethical methods!"

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at them carefully.

"The treacherous minister has already jumped out on his own."

"Huang Youzhong is one, Liu Yunbo is another!"

Qin Ming's words caused all the officials to discuss.

Many people started pointing at them.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, please don't slander me!"

Liu Yunbo and Huang Youzhong were shocked.

Why is this guy like a mad dog, biting anyone he catches?

In fact, what Qin Ming said is very right.

Zhao Jin has no backing, and no one would believe it if he told them.

The Ministry of War was already on good terms with Concubine Xiao Shufei.

Even the three months' overdue military pay of the Wuwei Camp was secretly taken away by people from the Ministry of War.

These two people came out to slander Qin Ming, which must have been instructed by Concubine Xiao Shufei.

It’s a pity that the two guys pushed out by Concubine Xiao Shu were too impatient.

The performance was too exaggerated and was directly exposed by Qin Ming.

"That's enough! You keep saying they're corrupt officials, but can you produce any evidence?"

Emperor Qian spoke to Qin Ming in a cold voice.

Qin Ming nodded.

"I got some confessions from them last night, including where they hid the banknotes."

"ridiculous!"

Concubine Xiao Shufei interrupted him immediately.

"Could a confession obtained under torture be considered evidence?"

"Your Majesty, last night the King of Qin sent his guards to directly break into Xiao Pingshan's residence and forcibly abduct him!"

"For someone like Your Highness, if we bring him to the Wuwei Camp and use even more brutal methods to force him to confess, it's not impossible!"

Concubine Xiao Shufei's words made Emperor Qian nod slowly.

Compared to Qin Ming, he trusts his partner more.

Cao Zishuo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was displeased when he saw Concubine Xiao Shufei and people from the Ministry of War besieging Qin Ming together.

He snorted coldly and walked forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the Queen's statement is untenable. His Highness has just said that the location of the stolen money can be found."

"Whether the confession was obtained through torture or not, we'll know after we investigate!"

Concubine Xiao Shufei had already made preparations.

Seeing Cao Zishuo taking the initiative to mention the stolen money, she sneered:

"That was the money Xiao Pingshan got from the Xiao family and deposited in a bank outside. When did it become stolen money?"

Just this morning when she was arguing with Qin Ming in front of the Wuwei camp, Concubine Xiao Shu arranged for Wang Bao to deal with the stolen money.

Although she took some risks, she has put a lot of effort into laundering the stolen money.

With the Xiao family stepping forward to take over, the money from Wuwei Camp has now disappeared.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any trace of Zhao Jin and Xiao Pingshan.

As for the finale, Concubine Xiao Shufei will continue to arrange it.

Anyway, the clues about Qin Ming have been cut off now.

What he said doesn't hold water.

Emperor Qian snorted coldly, a look of disgust on his face.

"Qin Ming, do you have anything else to say?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Concubine Xiao Shufei's hands were so quick.

"Father, I have arranged for the Wuwei Camp to investigate. If some corrupt officials didn't handle the money properly, there would be some traces left behind."

"We can wait."

Qin Ming had arranged for Liu Chuang to go to the money house before he came.

Emperor Qian sneered.

"Isn't Concubine Xiao Shu's explanation clear enough? At this point, you're still trying to stall for time and find some flimsy evidence to argue your case!"

"Why should I quibble?"

Facing Emperor Qian who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Qin Ming made up his mind and was ready to start cursing.
