Shocking news: The fifth-milk baby rides a ferocious beast and blows up the palace of Zha Daddy.

The Taiwei thought that the incident with Widow Zhang was over, but Zhao Shangshu turned around and ran to Prince Zhan's Mansion to ask Ye Yi for confirmation and asked him if he wanted to protect the Taiwei?

Unexpectedly, Ye Yi denied it immediately.

It was also said that the murder of Widow Zhang had aroused public outrage. Widow Zhang and the Taiwei designed to kill the Zhang family father and son for temporary pleasure. The married daughter of the Zhang family was very angry when she learned what happened to her father and eldest brother. He filed a lawsuit with the government and vowed to defend his father and brother.

Ye Yi told Shangshu Zhao to enforce the law impartially, and then he handed Zhao Shangshu a book of ten thousand people jointly signed by the common people in the capital, and said...

"Zhao Shangshu, this Book of Ten Thousand People was sent to Prince Zhan's Mansion by the Zhang family. It has the signatures of all the common people in the capital. They want to jointly sue Mr. Taiwei for killing the Zhang family and his son. Since you are in charge of this case, I will leave the Book of Ten Thousand People to you. , I hope you will handle it fairly and give justice to the deceased."

Zhao Shangshu never dreamed that this case would become so big. He accepted the Wanmin book and felt very happy.

Now, as long as there is a book of people, even the emperor will not dare to protect the Taiwei.

After all, public outrage is hard to offend.

The emperor is a face-saving person.

The most taboo thing about others is that he is a coward.

"I have thanked the prince. As long as we have the Book of Ten Thousand People, everything will be much easier."

Ye Yi waved his hand and said, "Well, go ahead."

Zhao Shangshu: "Yes, I will resign."

Since Widow Zhang's case involved important court officials and was of great importance, the case files were quickly sent to the emperor.

The Taiwei belonged to the emperor. The emperor originally thought of sparing the Taiwei for any reason. Unexpectedly, when he saw the Book of Ten Thousand People, his face instantly became gloomy. He raised his head and stared at Zhao Shangshu with a gloomy look. asked...

"Zhao Aiqing, what is this? Where does it come from?"

Zhao Shangshu, wearing an official uniform, stood at the bottom, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Report to the Emperor, this Book of Ten Thousand People was voluntarily submitted by the common people to the Taiwei, and then sent to the government."

He knew that the emperor and Prince Zhan had always been at odds with each other, so he did not say that Prince Zhan gave him the Book of Wanmin.

Just say that Zhang gave it to the government.

In fact, this is also true.

He didn't lie either.

When the emperor heard this, he fell silent. He could no longer protect the prince by doing this. After all, it had aroused public outrage.

If he did it too obviously, not only would it arouse Ye Yi's suspicion, but the people would also be dissatisfied with him, so he sighed and asked helplessly...

"Zhao Aiqing, what do you think of this case?"

Zhao Shangshu was stunned for a moment. This was the emperor's decision. Why did he ask?

However, the emperor asked, but it was impossible not to say anything, so he thought for a moment and said cautiously...

"Your Majesty, the Taiwei, as an official of the imperial court, knew the law and violated the law, and also injured two lives. It has a great impact on the people's hearts. If the Emperor does not handle it well, the people will definitely complain, and it will not be good for the Emperor's reputation."

"As for how to deal with the Taiwei, Wei Chen believes that death is not enough for the people to be angry."

After listening, the personal eunuch next to him took a deep breath and secretly glanced up at the emperor.

He knew very well in his heart that the Taiwei was a trump card in the emperor's hand, specifically used to deal with Prince Zhan. If he were to be abolished like this, it would be strange if the emperor would not go crazy.

The emperor had a gloomy face, nodded, and said...

"What Zhao Aiqing said is absolutely true. I will consider it carefully. You can go back first."

"Yes, Wei Chen is retiring." Zhao Shangshu lowered his head and bowed out.

As soon as Zhao Shangshu's figure disappeared from the door, the emperor slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground with a loud "pop" and cursed angrily...

"That idiot, Lieutenant, actually committed murders one after another for a bastard. Has he been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

As an important official of the imperial court, with countless women around him, the Taiwei actually committed murder for a widow. It is really incomprehensible.

If Widow Zhang hadn't been dead, the emperor said that he really wanted to meet this woman. What was the charm of this woman? Why did the Taiwei become so fascinated?

The personal eunuch stood nearby, bending his waist and lowering his head, not daring to take a breath for fear of attracting the emperor's attention and causing disaster to the fish pond.

Even though the Empress Dowager was under house arrest in Cining Palace, she had lived in the palace for decades, had a deep foundation, and had quite a lot of eyes. She quickly learned about the conversation between Zhao Shangshu and the emperor.

"What? The emperor wants to kill the Taiwei?"

Eunuch: "The news coming back from Qianqing Palace seems to be what the emperor means."

"That won't work, that won't work, the Ai family must stop the emperor." After hearing this, the empress dowager turned pale with fright, slumped down on the imperial concubine, and murmured to herself...

"The Ai family cannot allow the emperor to kill his father. This will be punished by God."

The eunuch knew what the empress dowager meant. However, the eunuch killed someone and there were witnesses. The most terrible thing was that he also caused public outrage. If the emperor protected her, his reputation would definitely be damaged.

"Empress Dowager, this time the Taiwei really brought trouble to his own deeds. I'm afraid the Emperor won't be able to save him."

The Empress Dowager hated and loved the Taiwei at the same time. She cursed and said, "That bastard ruined his reputation for a mere woman. What's even more abominable is that he also harmed the Emperor."

If the emperor knew the truth in the future and knew that he had killed his biological father with his own hands, it would definitely be very painful. The empress dowager felt heartbroken when she thought about that scene.

The eunuch's eyes rolled around. Suddenly, he thought of a clever idea, so he whispered a few words in the Empress Dowager's ear.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded sharply and said...

"Well, your method is indeed good, but the situation is urgent. Where can we find someone who looks like the lieutenant in a short time?"

It's hard to find people who look like you.

It is even more impossible to find out in a short time.

Therefore, although the eunuch's method of stealing a dragon and turning him into a phoenix is ​​good, it cannot be implemented at all.

It turned out that the eunuch's idea for the empress dowager was to find a scapegoat for the prince, so that the prince could escape.

The personal eunuch smiled strangely and said...

"Empress Dowager, have you forgotten that there is something called the art of disguise?"

"We only need to find someone who is similar in height and build to the captain to implement this rescue method."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately became happy and nodded hurriedly: "Well, this method is good, this method is good."

"You don't have to worry about the Ai family for these two days. The Ai family can just eat dry food in Cining Palace. You should hurry up and arrange the affairs of the Taiwei. There can be no mistakes in every aspect."

"Cha!" the eunuch agreed, turned around and walked out.

a few days later.

A notice from the government was posted. It said that the Taiwei, as an official of the imperial court, knew the law and violated the law. He not only violated the moral bottom line and seduced a married woman, but also deliberately paid for the murder of the Zhang family and his son in order to maintain an improper relationship with his wife for a long time. It was simply He was just lawless and didn't take the emperor's law seriously. When the emperor learned about it, Long Yan was furious. He now seemed to have removed Huo Shenghao from his position as Taiwei and demoted him to a commoner.

Because Huo Shenghao killed three people in a row. , according to the laws of Juxing Kingdom, he should be sentenced to death, all his family property confiscated, and Huo Shenghao would be executed three days later.

As soon as the news came out.

The whole capital was in a state of panic.

The people cheered...

"Yeah, great, the evildoers finally get their comeuppance."

"Your Majesty is really wise, and he actually killed even the captain for the sake of our people. I can't help but admire him."
