The prince is very cruel

In Chen Tu's case, I'm afraid he has also experienced a lot of setbacks.

Guan Ning felt a little reluctant, took another look at the man who was making trouble, and said coldly: "You bastard, don't think I don't know that you are being ordered by someone!"

"I'll try to let you show up here again!"

boom!

He threw the person aside, turned around quickly, and entered the Xiao Mansion. When he closed the door, his sharp eyes shocked everyone present.

Wherever he passed, there was complete silence and no one dared to cause trouble.

Soon, most of the people in front of the Xiao Mansion dispersed, and even if there were still people gossiping, they no longer dared to be so presumptuous.

Inside the Xiao Mansion, the autumn wind was bleak.

The house, which was originally clean, was now deserted with only a few people around, and no one even wiped the tables and chairs.

Guan Ning frowned: "Uncle Xiao, where are the servants in your house?"

You have to know that he is an imperial censor. This is too shabby, as if his family has been broken up.

Xiao Changhe stroked his beard and said with a smile, "They're all gone."

"How can these servants do this!" Lou Xinyue frowned, feeling a little indignant.

In the entire capital, apart from the Guan Mansion, the Xiao Mansion probably treats servants the best.

Xiao Changhe smiled and said, "Ning'er, girl, don't be angry. If it rains, it will. If my mother wants to get married, I can't stop her."

"Besides, it's better if they leave. It will give me some peace and quiet."

"There are still five or six people in my mansion, so there are still people to take care of me." He smiled and was very open-minded.

But Guan Ning still saw the resentment and grievance deep in his eyes.

"Uncle Xiao, tell me, what's going on?"

"Just now I heard someone outside the door say, you've been impeached too?"

Xiao Changhe sighed and frowned, "A few days ago, the Ministry of Justice's Zhou Chaoxian suddenly submitted a memorial, saying that they had uncovered a major case of buying and selling official positions and had apprehended several criminals."

"His Majesty is furious and demands a thorough investigation."

"As a result, the investigation implicated more than a dozen officials."

"Even people from the Censorate were there, and they all accused Chen Tu of accepting bribes from them."

"At that time, I confronted them in the imperial court. Although Chen Tu's academic performance was somewhat lacking, his character was still very good. How could he possibly do such a thing?"

"The result!" Xiao Changhe frowned. "The Ministry of Justice went to search Chen Tu's house and found three thousand taels of gold."

"And there are several secret letters, which are irrefutable evidence."

As he spoke, he showed a look of heartache.

Guan Ning frowned: "Who went to search?"

"The Minister of Punishment, Zhou Chaoxian." Xiao Changhe said.

"That was also the day I was impeached by several ministers. Fortunately, my colleagues at the Censorate defended me, and I had a good reputation, so I was able to escape death."

"But he also did not escape the responsibility of failing to conduct a thorough review and neglecting his duties."

"In order to prove my innocence, I have no choice but to resign from my official position and stay at home. Alas," he sighed.

Guan Ning bowed: "Uncle Xiao, I am sorry for you. I made you like this."

"Do not."

"It's meaningless to talk about this now. The most urgent thing is to find a way to rescue Chen Tu. I still don't believe he would commit corruption."

"Even if it's corruption, it's just a temporary mistake. Although I can't stand this kind of behavior, I can't bear to see him stay in the Ministry of Justice. The ultimate outcome will be execution in the autumn."

It can be seen that Xiao Changhe really likes Chen Tu.

Guan Ning nodded heavily: "I don't believe it either!"

"This matter is very strange. I have already been to the Ministry of Justice before coming here."

"Have you been there? How was it? Did you see anyone?" Xiao Changhe asked with concern: "I have also thought of a way, but this time the evidence is conclusive and no one is willing to help."

"If it's true, it's fine, but what if he's been wrongly accused..." He looked grim.

Guan Ning comforted him, "Uncle Xiao, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

"Tell me, is that Minister of Justice Zhou Chaoxian close to Concubine Zhen and the Third Prince?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes turned cold. Could it be them?

Xiao Changhe was stunned for a moment. How could he be involved with the Third Prince and Empress Zhenfei again?

"Correct!"

"The first wife of the Minister of Justice is the mother's family of Concubine Zhen."

"I think Concubine Zhen played a significant role in his ascension to the position of Minister of Justice."
