And three days later, in the early morning, the emperor sat upright in the hall, and all the officials were with him.

Zhou Yushu just stepped out of the line, holding an ivory wat, and reported calmly, "Your Majesty, half a month ago, there were drugs in Beijing that were secretly traded and circulated. After a thorough investigation, I found that the source of this thing came from Pingzhou."

"Later, it was found out in Pingzhou that the person who sold and traded this item was the Tang family, a prominent family in Pingzhou. His young master did not report the knowledge, but instead helped the tyrant to hide the matter and participated in it."

"At the time when Lord Tang Xiaohou was trading, the case was brought up in public, and the account records were found from the Tang family. There were all witnesses and material evidence. Lord Tang Xiaohou and all the participants also pleaded guilty."

Hearing the words, the emperor in the hall only pretended to be angry, and slapped his hand on the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, his voice was full of anger, and his eyes were solemn and cruel.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, all those involved will be dealt with according to the law and will be executed at the end of the month."

"All the drugs that were intercepted were burned. In addition, Zhou Tingwei is solely responsible for tracing the origin of the drugs and all transactions that slip through the net."

"The minister leads the order."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yushu returned to his original position, and now he changed from the dark to the bright, which made it easier for him to handle his affairs.

And Rong Chen came out suddenly, and seemed to have something important to report, "Your Majesty, I have something to report, and this matter has something to do with A Furong."

After finishing speaking, the emperor frowned slightly, and nodded again, "Your Majesty, I also found a lot of drugs in the army a few days ago, even Wushisan."

"I know that this matter is of great importance, so I sent people to contact those soldiers who ate it in private, and found out the origin of this thing from their mouths. I only know that it came from the property under the name of Prime Minister Chu."

When Chu Shao heard the words, his expression turned cold, and his voice was tinged with coldness, "Your Majesty, I have always hated these things, and I have clear rules in front of me. How can I allow my subordinates to do such things?"

Rong Chen raised his eyebrows a little, paused, and smiled lightly, somewhat unclear, "I heard that Chu Cheng and Tang Xiaohou had a close relationship on weekdays. How could Tang Xiaohou do such things? Are you involved?"

After all, another person came forward and told something, "Your Majesty, someone went to the prison three days ago and went straight to Lord Tang Xiaohou, but was captured by the minister."

"And that person has something belonging to the Chu family, and they kept claiming that it was under the orders of Prime Minister Chu."

Seeing that Rong Chen had set up the stage, Wei Heng just sang along.Then he stepped forward and joined in.

"Your Majesty, I was previously ordered to settle the aftermath of the snow disaster in Yizhou. Because some people were grateful for the emperor's kindness and heard about the Tang family's drug, they reported their grievances to me."

"Yan, the Xiao family was wronged in the drug case five years ago."

"Afterwards, I handed over the evidence to the minister. The minister saw that the evidence was convincing, and thought about what happened to the Tang family today, so"

Wei Heng explained the cause and effect in a few words, so he didn't say more, and left everything to the emperor to decide.

When other civil and military officials heard about the Xiao family, they only talked in private.

No one thought that the matter of the Xiao family would be brought up again.

Seeing this, Chu Shao's expression became colder and colder. He did not expect that Wei Heng and Rong Chen's backup would be about the Xiao family.

The case of the Xiao family was investigated by him five years ago, and he also made the decision.

With the Tang family, no one with a discerning eye can see that he is here for him, Chu Shao?

Hearing the words, the emperor's eyes converged, and his hale and hearty eyes faintly flickered.He only looked at these few people, and finally opened his mouth slowly.

"If there is any hidden truth about what happened five years ago, then the Xiao family has been wronged."

"This case will be investigated by the prince."

"As for what Rong Taiwei said, it is related to Chu Xiang, and the matter is of great importance. Zhou Tingwei and Rong Taiwei will jointly investigate thoroughly."

"I heard that Prime Minister Chu has been feeling unwell these days, so let's rest at home."

"Retreat."

After all, the emperor left the Golden Luan Hall, and the rest of the officials also left here one by one.
