After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Liang Jiuan sat behind the desk in the study of his own palace, his eyes dark and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, "Xu Yushi, I've been having a hard time helping you with my investigation."

"Why would you say such things to me, Your Highness?" Xu Xiuqi said.

Liang Jiuan was silent, and then said in a low voice: "I'm afraid we don't have much time left. The case of the evil book, the case of rescuing the emperor, the case of witchcraft, and the assassination case, the Second Prince and his party have been making frequent moves, and I'm afraid they will strike again soon."

"But..." Xu Xiuqi sighed softly, his eyes flickering, and said with some embarrassment, "But if we can wait for Madam Wei to come with the evidence, there will be at least two more pieces of evidence against Li Jianzhang. Moreover, Li Jianye will also have a charge and can be convicted."

"We don't have much time..." Liang Jiuan said.

"If we delay any longer, I'm afraid there will be more trouble than meets the eye. Who knows what kind of trouble Concubine Wan, the Second Prince and Kang Miaoqing will cause." Liang Jiuan said helplessly.

"Okay then." Xu Xiuqi said reluctantly.

"But Madam Wei hasn't returned yet, and she hasn't sent any news for a long time. Could she be gone? Let's send someone out to look for her." Xu Xiuqi suggested.

"Okay." Liang Jiuan agreed.

Then Liang Jiuan shouted loudly to the outside, "Xiao Hong."

A sturdy guard in black with a sword came in and said, "My Lord, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Hong, go to Yuhang and inquire about the whereabouts of Madam Wei. It would be best if you could bring her back safely. Once you have any news about her, report to me immediately." Liang Jiuan said.

"Yes!" Xiao Hong bowed and agreed to the matter.

The next day, at the morning court, in the main hall of Qianqi Palace.

"I have something to report." Liang Jiuan stepped out and said.

"Approved." said the official.

"I want to impeach Li Jianzhang, the chief of the Dali Temple, for abusing his position to seek personal gain and embezzling money. We have files and two civilians as witnesses. As for the amount of embezzlement, I believe it will be clear once the Li family's accounts are settled."

Xu Xiuqi stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I would also like to impeach the Dali Temple Chief Justice Li Jianzhang for not managing his family properly and for allowing the second son of the Li family to sell official positions and titles. I have a copy of the initial booklet when the case of selling official positions and titles was first registered, and Li Jianwen's name is clearly written on it. I hope your Majesty will investigate this matter."

"Li Sizheng, what do you have to say?" The emperor asked majestically, sitting high on the dragon throne.

"This matter of selling official positions and titles is completely fictitious. The case was investigated at the beginning and the links are complete. It is nonsense that my brother's name is on the list. I have reason to suspect that the list is fake." Li Jianzhang defended himself without changing his expression. In fact, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"I think what Li Sizheng said makes sense. It is possible that the list that Censor Xu has produced is fake. It has been a long time since the incident, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false." The second prince said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"How do you explain the corruption?" the official asked.

"I have nothing to say except to say that those who are innocent will be innocent. What people see with their eyes is not necessarily the truth." Li Jianzhang said meaningfully.

"Then this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice..."

Before the official finished speaking, a woman's clear voice came in, interrupting what the official was about to say.

"Please listen to me, sir."

As soon as the woman spoke, the eunuch beside her knelt down and apologized, "Sir, it was our fault. We couldn't stop her."

"Forget it, let her in." The emperor recognized Wei Suxin. Wasn't she the extraordinary woman who helped him punish the aristocratic family?

Wei Suxin was wearing a long green dress today, with her hair in a simple bun. She only had a sandalwood hairpin casually inserted in her bun. She was dressed very simply.

She didn't die after falling off the cliff.

Wei Suxin faced the gazes of the ministers on both sides of the hall, held her head high and walked forward step by step.

She walked to the front, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I want to sue Li Jianzhang, the chief of the Dali Temple, for not managing his family properly and for arson."

"Li Jianzhang's elder brother Li Jianye not only gambled for a long time, but also about eight months ago he robbed a woman on the street, wanting to make her his concubine and pay her some money. In fact, Madam He was not willing at all. Who would be willing to give up being a good scholar's wife and become a concubine of a rough man? Princess Jing secretly rescued the couple and handed them over to me. I placed them in one of my villas, and I specially hired warriors to protect the house for fear of unsafe conditions."

"It didn't take long for the yard to catch fire. A mother witnessed that someone dressed as an official was involved in setting the fire."

"Words are not enough. Do you have any proof?" the official asked.

"Of course I have it. I have witnesses. Although Li Sizheng wanted to burn them to death, the couple is still alive. There is an underground secret room in my villa, and they happened to hide in it, so they saved their lives." Wei Suxin said.

"The physical evidence is my burned-down villa," Wei Suxin added.

"Please bring your witnesses to the hall," said the official.

"Okay, I'll arrange them all in the carriage outside the palace." Wei Suxin said.

The emperor gave a wink to the eunuch standing beside him.

The opponent retreated immediately.

Soon, the eunuch was seen leading a couple and two mothers into the main hall.

The four common people saluted the official one by one.

The officials then knew their names.

"Madam He, did Li Jianye snatch you away in the street and bring you into the Li Mansion? Where did he snatch you? Did anyone else see it?" The emperor asked a series of questions.

When He Xiuling thought of this sad thing, her emotions got out of control and her tears kept flowing, but she cried without any sound.

"It was in an alley not far from the bookstore. I don't know if anyone else saw it." He Xiuling said with tears in her eyes.

"I am the witness. At that time, I had a job copying books in the city. When I went to the bookstore to get a book, I heard Jia Nei's scream. I hurried out of the bookstore and saw several gangsters dragging Jia Nei forward. I chased them and they beat and kicked me. When I got up, I saw them stuffing Jia Nei into the carriage in a brutal manner." Zhou Junsheng said angrily.

"You are her husband, so naturally you say that." Li Jianzhang said slowly.

"You, you hypocritical beast!" Zhou Junsheng cursed angrily.

"You forced good families to become concubines just to wash away your elder brother's crime of robbing women. He robbed Madam He, and you seized their travel permits and household registrations. You are birds of a feather. The government must have their replacement certificates from eight months ago, which can also serve as evidence. This is also one of the evidences." Wei Suxin said.

"Oh, what kind of evidence is this? If I confiscate my maid's travel pass and household registration, would that mean I'm abducting her?" The second prince sneered.
