After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

This is because of his good moral character cultivation in recent years, which made everyone forget that this guy worked as a censor for a period of time when he was young!

The old foxes who had seen and experienced it all retreated quietly and tacitly, trying their best to give up the field and not delay Minister Chu's performance.

There were only some youngsters standing outside the door, not knowing anything about the danger, pricking their heads to look forward, trying to hear what was going on inside.

The two ministers are arguing inside.

"Master Liu, this has already happened. There is really no need to be so impatient. Let me explain the reasoning to you in detail."

Minister Chu has a very good habit, the more he argues with others, the more he takes his time. This not only allows him to perform stably, but also adds a lot of anger to the opponent.

"Tell me, that farm belongs to my Chu family, and the family name is not Liu. Everyone can understand that my child was digging in the ground, but what was your son trying to do by running in?

We have a clear regulation in the Great Qi that anyone who breaks into a private residence can be charged with theft!

Shouldn't the same apply to Minzhuang?

So after thinking this through, is everything clear now?

Your son, the playboy whose leg was broken. He was not doing his job but wandering into other people's farms to rob them, and even dared to provoke them. Didn't he deserve to be beaten?"

"Chu Zhankui, how dare you, an old man, speak nonsense like that! Who is confusing right and wrong?

My son's legs are broken now. If it weren't for the treatment of Imperial Physician Sun, he might not be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life!

You gave that farm as a dowry to the Liu family, who knew you could shamelessly ask for it back?"

"What you said is harsh and unreasonable!"

Minister Chu snorted unhappily.

"Just because I was married into your Liu family as a dowry doesn't mean it belongs to your Liu family, right? What's more, the dowry my family gave was for my niece. The daughter-in-law your family married is not my Chu family's niece. So why can't I get the dowry back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several families were instantly embarrassed.

Minister Liu's face was extremely ugly, and Gu Chuanrong, who was not far behind him, looked as pale as if his parents had died. He felt that the meaningful looks from his colleagues beside him were as embarrassing as if he had been stripped naked.

There was really no way to refute this argument, so Minister Liu could only take a deep breath and start a new conversation.

"Okay, I can't argue with you, even if my son did that, it was all his own fault.

But my old wife has been kind to others all her life. If you ask around in the capital, everyone will know her reputation for virtue.

What could she have done to deserve such humiliation from your Chu family?"

As for the daughter-in-law who also fell into the water, she was of little influence and had no imperial decree, so there was no need to bring her in. And those useless servants, there was no need to mention them.

"You, Chu Zhankui, didn't teach your offspring well, so you raised such a bold and reckless person. You dare to hit the official's wife today, will you dare to attack the court tomorrow? You even have the nerve to argue and shirk responsibility with me here, it's really shameless!"

Minister Liu was so angry that his hair stood on end.

It wasn't entirely because he felt sorry for his son and wife, but mainly because of his face. He was slapped back and forth by the Chu family, and he was angry just thinking about it!

If he cannot get justice today, how can he gain a foothold in the court in the future? Who else in the capital can still take his Liu family seriously?

Minister Chu glanced obliquely at the emperor sitting high on the dragon throne. The other's half-smile made him droop his eyelids quickly.

Well, I was in the wrong in this matter, so I shouldn't argue too much. After all, although I was the emperor's uncle, the ancestor of the Liu family was the empress dowager's cousin.

With so many concerns in mind, Minister Chu could only consider the matter again and again and refute it in a low voice.

"Isn't that just a misunderstanding? Your wife brought people to the farm to fight and kill, and she didn't allow others to resist? My child is young and doesn't understand, so please bear with me..."

Lin Youan's rhetoric is really a panacea, it works wherever you take it. Old Chu spoke more and more fluently, almost making his opponent fall backwards in anger.

"...You still dare to make such a cunning excuse. The perpetrator is clearly already 18 or 19 years old..."

"Well, you have younger ones in your family, so why are you arguing with me about whether she is older or younger? She is no longer a child in front of our elders..."

This is pure shamelessness!

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and ate most of the melon with relish before he coughed twice to clear his throat.

The Golden Palace suddenly became quiet.

"I have heard almost everything. You two families should stop talking for a while. My dear ministers, please tell me what you think."

The essence of eating melons is that it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. When everyone is watching the excitement together, that is what is called excitement, isn't it?

The emperor spoke, and the ministers responded positively.

Among them, Duke Wu was the most active.

Fat Wu, who was familiar with the tactics of his living ancestor, immediately knew who had done this when he heard the key words "Chu family robbed the family property" and "broken legs".

So he just opens his mouth and starts talking about all kinds of fallacies and heresies.

"Your Majesty, although I am a rough man, I have heard this matter very clearly.

The younger generations of the Chu and Liu families had a fight, and the Liu family's son suffered a loss. Madam Liu took people to seek revenge, but they were defeated.

And now Minister Liu is so petty and angry that he wants the Emperor to take a side. Is that what you mean?

Oh, Master Liu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but is it normal for two children to quarrel and fight in private? How can you be so unethical as to file a complaint in the Imperial Palace?

This is really, tsk tsk tsk..."

The last three words coupled with the disgusted shaking of the head made Minister Liu even more angry.

"Duke Wu, what do you have to do with this?"

This is clearly a fight between the civil servants. You, a rough fellow, should just sit aside and watch the fun. Why are you jumping out to make a comment?

"You see, what you said is not very authentic, is it? We are all colleagues in the court, so why should we distinguish between your business and mine? If you bring it to the court to be resolved, won't it become everyone's business?

Your Majesty, am I right?"

The emperor pondered for a few breaths and waved his finger indifferently.

"That makes some sense, but don't talk now."

"Yes!"

Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said. Look how satisfied Minister Chu and Shen Mufeng look.

His big fat son might need someone to take care of him in the future. As a father, shouldn't he do his best to pave the way for his son?

Duke Wu smiled, retracted his fat belly, and stood obediently in his place.
