When Li Junhe heard what Xiao Hanqi said, he nodded and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Okay! Then I understand. What should we do today?"

Xiao Hanqi thought for a moment and said to Li Junhe, "Master, just wait and watch the show today!"

Li Junhe smiled and nodded and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Okay! Then let's go together!"

Xiao Hanqi nodded and said to Li Junhe, "Master, let's go!"

Soon the two left and got in the carriage and went to the palace together.

Royal Palace

"The emperor has issued an order. If there is anything to report, please come forward. If not, please dismiss the court." Wang Ping said loudly!

Xiao Hanqi glanced at Li Junhe, and said to His Majesty with a serious face, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The emperor glanced at Xiao Hanqi and said, "Speak!"

Xiao Hanqi bowed and said to His Majesty, "I want to report Duke Xu and Duke Xu for embezzling the Jiangnan Mansion's repair hall. I hope Your Majesty will punish them."

After Xiao Hanqi finished speaking, Duke Xu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never embezzled the repair money."

The emperor sneered and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Does King Han have any evidence?"

Xiao Hanqi smiled and picked up the evidence in his hand, saying, "I have it, please have a look, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at Wang Ping, and Wang Ping hurriedly went down and took the evidence from Xiao Hanqi's hand!

Xiao Hanqi smiled and continued, "This is the evidence I had people find on those bodies. They found some marks on the bodies that belonged to Duke Xu's mansion, and I also found Lin Ran from the Ministry of Revenue.

After repeated questioning by the minister, I found out that the problem with the renovation funds was caused by Duke Xu. And under the minister's questioning, Lin Ran confessed everything.

It was Xu Guoguang who arranged him to be in the team collecting the repair money, and asked him to keep him informed of any situation in the team collecting the repair money. He also told him to find a way to help intercept the repair money when he passed Shuiyue Village. What I just gave to His Majesty was Lin Ran's confession, as well as the identity characteristics of the man in black. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Xu immediately bowed to His Majesty and said, "I am innocent!"

The emperor looked at the evidence in his hand and angrily threw the paper that Wang Ping had just given him to Duke Xu.

The emperor sneered and said to Duke Xu, "Unjust? Then take a good look at these testimonies, they all point to you! Then tell me who wrongly accused you!"

Duke Xu picked up the papers with trembling hands and flipped through them one by one until the last page had a secret mark of a tiger head. Every detail of the tiger head was displayed vividly, with the sharp teeth, majestic eyes, and the texture of the tiger skin all clearly visible.

Duke Xu's shaking hands were no longer trembling, and his face was no longer tense. Instead, he said to His Majesty passionately, "Your Majesty, this is not the secret sign of Duke Xu's Mansion, and our secret sign of Duke Xu's Mansion is not like this. This tiger head is too powerful."

Duke Xu took out the token with the seal of Duke Xu's Mansion and presented it to His Majesty with both hands, saying, "This is the token of Duke Xu's Mansion. Please compare it with Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will clear the name of Duke Xu's Mansion."

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Xiao Hanqi. Seeing Xiao Hanqi's calm look, he knew there was something else hidden in the matter, and gave Wang Ping a look.

Wang Ping took the token from Duke Xu's mansion and the evidence, and after comparing the two, he said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, they are indeed different."

Wang Ping said as he presented the things in his hands to His Majesty with both hands. Then His Majesty said to Wang Ping, "Give the things to King Han and let him take a closer look."

Wang Ping said "yes" respectfully, and handed the thing to Xiao Hanqi. Xiao Hanqi pretended to be unconvinced and took the thing for comparison.

Xiao Hanqi saw that the things were indeed different, so he knelt down and said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, it seems that I was deceived by Lin Ran and wronged Duke Xu. I hope Your Majesty will forgive my negligence."

The emperor snorted coldly and said to Duke Xu, "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

When Duke Xu heard His Majesty say this, he knew that His Majesty wanted to let Xiao Hanqi go. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only say, "Your Majesty, Prince Han was also deceived by a traitor. I hope Your Majesty will forgive Prince Han for his loyalty to Your Majesty!"

The emperor's face darkened, and he said to Xiao Hanqi: "King Han, why don't you thank Xu Guoguang quickly. If it weren't for Duke Xu's pleading for you, I would never let you off so easily!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hanqi bowed and said to His Majesty, "I know I was wrong. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Xiao Hanqi finished speaking, he stood up and walked to Duke Xu's mansion. He returned the token in his hand to Duke Xu and bowed, saying, "Duke Xu, I was deceived by someone. I hope you will be magnanimous and not make a fuss about it."

When Duke Xu heard what Xiao Hanqi said, he immediately bowed to Xiao Hanqi and said, "Your Highness is too polite. This is what I should do, and I know the importance of the repair money this time. Your Highness does not need to be too anxious. I believe that everything will become clear soon."

Xiao Hanqi bowed to Duke Xu and said, "I thank Duke Xu again."

Duke Xu quickly returned the greeting and said, "Your Highness, you are welcome. You are welcome."

When the emperor heard what the two said, he pretended to be angry and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Well, even if Duke Xu forgives you now, I cannot forgive you. So, I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes for half a month and deduct one year's salary to make up for the repairs!"

Xiao Hanqi quickly bowed and said, "I obey your order."

The emperor waved his hands angrily and said, "Okay, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, let's adjourn the court. Prince Han will stay, and everyone else can leave."

Everyone looked at Xiao Hanqi, saluted to the emperor and said, "We will take our leave. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Soon everyone went out. The emperor looked at Wang Ping, and Wang Ping also went out with the other servants. As soon as they closed the door, they heard a "bang...!" from inside, followed by the emperor's voice, "Look! Look at what you have done? I asked you to check the repair money, not to find out something that made trouble for me. Do you really not know what you are planning?"

Then Xiao Hanqi's voice was heard, "I know I was wrong! I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Wang Ping looked at the servants watching at the door and said to everyone, "Okay, go down, we don't need you to serve here anymore!"

After saying that, everyone said "yes" to Wang Ping and left.

The emperor and Xiao Hanqi in the room looked at each other. Xiao Hanqi stretched lazily. The emperor also stood up and walked to Xiao Hanqi. The two looked at each other and laughed, not at all like before!
