I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

All these coincidences made Liu Yunzhou mistakenly believe that the Liu family had really fallen.

The reason why he was so powerful before was because the concubine dowager was still alive. Now that the concubine dowager and his brother are both in prison, who can protect him?

Therefore, confessing and being lenient is the best way out.

Liu Yanzhou confessed everything, from why he recruited soldiers privately to why he ran out of money, so he turned his attention to the gold mine in Qizhou.

Unfortunately, they did get the gold out successfully, but it was swapped when it was being transported to Kyoto. The 100,000 taels of gold disappeared, and all that came back were broken stones.

The two dared not to make it public and could only look for the gold secretly. Unexpectedly, Ning Zhongyi actually reported the case of the missing gold.

Worried that the matter would eventually be traced back to him, Liu Yanzhou had no choice but to ask his confidant Gong Ming to go to Qizhou in person to silence Ning Zhongyi, and then take advantage of the situation to put the blame on him.

On the other hand, he also kept sending people to secretly track down the whereabouts of the gold and kill Ning Ning who was being escorted to the capital.

Unfortunately, after all the hard work, the gold was not found, Ning Ning was abducted by a mysterious person, and in the end, the Liu family was ruined.

After all, this is what happened. Liu Yanzhou confessed everything, and until now he still doesn't know that all of this was a lie.

Putting aside the matter, Ning Ning's two-pronged approach was linked together, not only did it take Liu Yuzhou into account, but even Liu Yuqiu and the concubine were defeated and caught in one fell swoop.

Queen Mother Shang's appreciation for Ning Ning is self-evident.

She sat in a high seat, looking at Ning Ning quietly.

Ning Ning lowered her head slightly, not looking around or asking any questions, and just stood there quietly waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

To be honest, this appearance is quite similar to Qingyun Zuoqi.

After all, Qingyun Zuoqi is like this. When the sage does not summon them, they are just silent shadows. They will only respond when the sage sends them.

After a while, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "You did it. What reward do you want?"

"I dare not ask for a reward, I only hope that my father can be cleared of the injustice and restore the reputation of the Ning family."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes."

"Thank you, Saint." Ning Ning knelt down again to express her gratitude, but in her heart she was complaining that it was really troublesome for the ancient court to kneel down all the time.

After the intensive experience of the past few days, she no longer had any interest in the palace. She thought that the concubines had tried their best to get the highest position, and they were probably tired of the rule of kneeling down.

"You also heard what I did to the Liu family just now. I want to hear what you think."

Ning Ning replied respectfully: "The decision of the saint is naturally wise..."

"Tell the truth, don't resort to flattery." The Queen Mother spoke in a light tone, but her eyes were very calm.

Ning Ning didn't speak immediately.

Queen Mother Shang continued, "You can speak freely. Whether it is good or bad, I will not punish you."

Ning Ning straightened up slightly after hearing this and said, "In this case, I will tell you the truth. As far as I am concerned, the sage's decision means that the bad guys get the retribution they deserve and my father can clear his grievances, which makes people happy.

As far as the imperial court was concerned, the saint showed no mercy and executed the treacherous minister immediately, which also served as a warning to them. If nothing else, at least if there are traitors who want to do something again, they will have to think carefully and not act recklessly. "

Queen Mother Shang curled her lips slightly when she heard this, but it was hard to tell how happy she was.

Ning Ning changed the subject at this time: "However, for Your Majesty, this may not be a good thing."

"You say." Queen Mother Shang finally moved. She slightly turned sideways, as if waiting for Ning Ning to say this.

Ning Ning sighed inwardly, knowing that what was coming could not be avoided, she could only nod.

“Your Majesty is separated from the Saint by the womb. Although the Saint loves Your Majesty, she is not as good as your biological mother.

It was indeed the Liu family that made a mistake this time, and it is only natural for the sage to handle the matter impartially, so Your Majesty cannot say anything. However, Your Majesty will definitely blame the sage afterwards, and the rift between you and him will become even greater.

It is true that the saint does not care about these things, but it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of this opportunity to alienate you and your majesty, and it would be bad if something uncontrollable happened at that time. "

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Liu Yuzhou will be sentenced to death, but Liu Yuqiu will be dismissed from office, the Liu family will be demoted back to their hometown, and three generations will not be allowed to serve as officials in the court. This can be considered."

This time Queen Mother Shang really laughed. After a while, she looked at Ning Ning and said, "Is this what you really mean?"

"I dare not deceive the saint."

Queen Mother Shang nodded with satisfaction: "You are a sensible girl. I thought you would trample on the Liu family because of the feud between your father and the Liu family."

"I dare not. Today, Daliang is enjoying peace and prosperity, and all industries are waiting to be developed. Only when the emperor is at peace can the people be at peace. To be honest, we ordinary people hope more than anyone else that the emperor will be at peace and that Daliang will prosper and prosper forever."

"Good! Well said! Come and give me a reward!"

Ning Ning didn't expect that the Queen Mother would give rewards as she said. She directly asked people to bring two large boxes of things over and then opened them in public.

There is shining gold inside.

"I know you don't like these things, but you have made contributions to the court, and you will get all the rewards you deserve. Here is one thousand taels of gold, keep it. I will appoint you as the gold official of the northern part of Daliang soon. In public, you will temporarily manage the Minzhou gold mine affairs, and in secret, you will track down the whereabouts of the one hundred thousand taels of gold.

After the task is completed, I will promise you a reward no less than that."

"Yes, thank you, Saint." Ning Ning knelt down respectfully to express his gratitude and then stepped back.

Later, the punishment for the Liu family was officially announced.

Liu Yuzhou embezzled 100,000 taels of gold, murdered an official of the imperial court and was executed immediately. His relatives were also expelled from the capital and were never allowed to set foot in the capital again.

Because of his poor discipline, Xiong Zhang Liu Qiu was fined three years' salary by the imperial court as a warning to others.

As for the Concubine Dowager, for the sake of the royal family's reputation, Queen Dowager Shang did not tell the emperor about the Concubine Dowager's secret deployment of troops. She only said that the Concubine Dowager felt guilty about the late emperor's rebellious behavior because of her uncle's rebellious behavior. From then on, she would recite Buddhist scriptures day and night to pray for the late emperor and would never leave the palace again.

Ning Zhongyi, the gold official in the northern part of Qizhou, Daliang, was unjustly cleared. The emperor issued an edict to reinstate him to his original post and reburied him with proper ceremony. He also posthumously restored Ning Ancheng as the gold official in the northern part of Daliang. As Ning Ancheng's whereabouts were unknown, he was temporarily taken care of by his sister Ning Ning.

When the imperial edict was issued, all the civil and military officials in the court, including the common people, were shocked.

All the civil and military officials in the court were amazed at the Queen Mother Shang's thundering measures. She had confiscated Liu Xunzhou's property a few days ago, and imprisoned Liu Xunqiu yesterday. Today, she had already made a decision.

Moreover, the case of the hundred thousand taels of gold, which had been vaguely settled before, was reopened.

At this time, everyone in the Ministry of Justice looked very unhappy.

Naturally, they would be punished, after all, what they had reported to Queen Mother Shang was a false case.

No one in the Ministry of Justice said a word.

Originally, the Right Prime Minister had some objections, but the Queen Mother Shang asked all the civil and military officials in the court to circulate the evidence and testimony, and even asked Ning Zhongyi's daughter Ning Ning to go to the palace to check one by one.

All in all, the evidence is conclusive and the right prime minister has nothing to say.
