Stay with me, I rely on the childbearing system to get pregnant and dote on me alone

Li Yuanlang never betrayed Cha Jiu.

The previous unfamiliarity between the two was just a show for the Prime Minister and the Minister of Household Affairs.

The purpose is to make them relax their vigilance and think they have the initiative.

Li Yuanlang knelt beside Cha Jiu and said in a serious voice: "Master He, no matter what, you are the most intelligent and strategizing Master He in my heart."

He didn't care whether Cha Jiu was a boy or a girl.

What he recognized was Cha Jiu himself.

Cha Jiu nodded slightly to him and showed a faint smile.

Yelv Zongzheng smiled coldly at the prime minister: "Take a good look at the numbers in the account book yourself."

The prime minister endured his panic, climbed a few steps forward, and looked through the account books on the floor.

Sure enough, Li Yuanlang did not modify the account books at all.

It clearly reflects every piece of stolen money he has made from the previous dynasty to the present. The last page also lists the total amount, which is a full three million taels!

Looking at the sweating Prime Minister, Yelu Zongzheng said in a serious tone: "He Aiqing checked the accounts day and night and confiscated the property of several corrupt officials before he was able to recover more than one million taels of silver; now he is following the policy of the Salt and Iron Government. , the people's taxes have also increased due to the abundant water conservancy harvest, so the national treasury is only filled with more than 8 million taels. But the amount of corruption by you can actually catch up to less than half of the national treasury. You are really greedy and audacious!"

The prime minister still wanted to make excuses.

After all, as long as there is an account book, there is still room for argument.

He attributed the loopholes in the accounts entirely to the mistakes of the dead person who changed the accounts, and wanted to get rid of the crime by framing the dead man.

Unexpectedly, the wife of the person who changed the account invited herself to the palace to testify on behalf of her dead husband.

"The change in accounts was not due to my husband's negligence, but because of Prime Minister Song's coercion behind his back!"

The lady pointed tremblingly at the Prime Minister who was still quibbling, feeling extremely indignant at his shameless behavior of slandering her late husband.

At first, everyone did not take this lady seriously.

Apart from a few empty words, what value does the testimony of a housewife have?

But later, the lady actually explained her husband's methods of making false accounts. Her level of professionalism and detail was no worse than the accounting officials of the Ministry of Accounts!

Chajiu saw that she had a solid foundation and asked, "Are you proficient in accounting and arithmetic?"

The lady nodded: "I come from a merchant family, and I have learned accounting and arithmetic since I was a child. My husband and I were childhood sweethearts, and I also taught him the accounting skills."

Li Yuanlang was surprised.

He and Cha Jiu reviewed the account books together, and naturally understood how skilled the person who changed the accounts was.

But he didn’t expect that he would learn this skill from his wife!

well! Such a talented woman can only be confined to the back house and remain unknown.

How sad is this? !

What the lady said matched up with the traces of changes in the original account book, and clearly pointed out where each misappropriated money went -

The Prime Minister's faction.

Now that all the witnesses and physical evidence were there, the Prime Minister looked ashen and could not utter a single word of rebuttal.

Yelu Zongzheng sent people to take him to Dali Temple.

But at this time, some courtiers were still unwilling to let Cha Jiu go, and knelt down to ask her to be executed together with He Yanyang.

These people were all the ministers who had been offended by Cha Jiu when he implemented the reform of officialdom.

Now seeing this opportunity, he naturally added insult to injury and took the opportunity to retaliate.

But under the intimidation of Yelv Zongzheng's terrifying eyes, they all fell silent, lowered their heads and shrank.

A bunch of cowardly and incompetent people.

Are you willing to let me execute my treasure? !

But Cha Jiu knew very well that Yelu Zongzheng could not be allowed to forgive her so easily.

Otherwise, she will really become an existence that destroys national laws and brings chaos to the country.

And it will also put a black mark on Yelv Zongzheng's upright imperial career.

So, she knelt down again to apologize.

"The common people know that they have committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and they dare not avoid punishment. However, the brothers and sisters in the family are innocent and did not know about it. Please forgive their lives for the sake of the decree to avoid death."

"He Qingqing, a grassroots citizen, is willing to plead guilty and go to jail, awaiting trial."

"It's just that the common people still want to advise Your Majesty to open a women's school in the future, allowing women to take the imperial examination, and have the same opportunities as men to serve as officials in the court and serve the Yuan Dynasty. In this way, God's good intentions will not be wasted and the real life will not be wasted. Talents."

"I promise you."

Yelu Zongzheng felt extremely hurt in his heart.

But she also knew that she wanted to enter the game with her own body and set a precedent for women in the world.

He also knew that she was willing to be punished and wanted to protect his innocent reputation.

He couldn't speak to stop her choice, so all the emotions turned into the inner force in his palm, and he crushed the handle of the dragon chair into powder and floated it to His Highness.

All the ministers were frightened and bowed their heads.

Only Cha Jiu raised his head and stared at the king with a smile in his eyes.

He said loudly: "May your majesty's prosperous life be long and worry-free."

Yelu Zongzheng understood.

What she said was, may the prosperous life be long and may your majesty be worry-free.

……

Chajiu was stripped of his official robe and taken to Dali Temple together with the prime minister.

Things in the court seemed to have wings again, and quickly flew into the ears of the people.

So on the day of escorting him, Chajiu was surrounded by red-eyed people, and his hands were stuffed with all kinds of food.

The old and kind old woman stuffed her cotton shoes and said while wiping her tears: "Master He, it's very cold in prison. You must wear these cotton shoes to keep warm."

The enthusiastic aunt held the bowl and trotted to catch up, stuffing the cold wontons into her mouth.

"Eat more! Eat more! It's all fresh meat that my aunt got up early to chop!"

The pork seller wrapped a braised pig's trotter that could kill someone in oil paper and threw it directly into the prison car.

"Old girl, I have nothing to give you. You can eat these pig's trotters, but you can't eat the crappy stuff you use to kill those people who are greedy for their money. Don't be soft!"

The escorting guard was so crowded that he could no longer stand. He almost had his feet off the ground and was flying in the air. He had no choice but to ask Chajiu for help:

"Master He, can you keep everyone away? This car can't even move on the road!"

This is no exaggeration.

Looking around, the whole street ahead was blocked by people seeing each other off.

Chajiu opened his hands like trumpets and said in a loud voice: "Thank you all for your warm greetings, but I am only going to Dali Temple to be temporarily detained, not to be executed at the execution ground..."

You don’t need to do anything to send me away, it makes me seem like I won’t survive tomorrow...

Someone in the crowd shouted: "It doesn't matter! Master He! When you go to the execution ground to be executed another day, we will send you off again!"

Chajiu: "..."

Thanks, but no thanks.

Hope not that day.
