Some of the ministers who had heard the inner voice were shocked by the news.

An official appointed by the imperial court actually took human life so lightly for his own selfish interests.

They also increased taxes and withheld food and fodder from the people!

Isn't that asking for the lives of the people? No wonder this guy said that he came here with the people's last hope of survival.

After Lin You finished reading the evidence, he showed it to the people from the Dali Temple, and then asked someone to set up a filing table, prepare paper, pen, ink, and official seal, so that the people from the Dali Temple and Minister Jiang could hear the case together in the court.

Qian Zhu was angry, but he was emotionally stable and clear-headed. He told everything in an orderly manner and also brought the petitions from other people.

Almost every lawsuit involves a life, which is really sad.

Those who lost their lives were either displaced or maimed.

With every petition he read, Minister Jiang's rage grew.

Although he had already watched most of it yesterday, watching it again today still made him feel angry.

The ministers also looked angry.

Of course, the ministers on Prince Yu's side were worried that Minister Zhu's source of income would be cut off and what to do in the future.

Prince Yu listened expressionlessly.

As early as when Minister Zhu said that someone had brought evidence to the capital to file a complaint, he had already made a backup plan, which was to clear himself completely.

Therefore, the disaster will not affect him, he will just lose a source of income, and he can make plans later.

If anyone is to blame, we can only blame Minister Zhu and that Li Hao for being too stupid. They were actually fooled by a woman and a wild boy.

With so many killers, he didn't even kill one kid. He's such a complete waste.

Minister Zhu was already sweating profusely when he saw the irrefutable evidence and the loss of so many lives. He looked at Shen Yu, thinking that he would say a few words for him, but his expression was extremely ugly and he had no intention of speaking at all.

"Minister Zhu, do you plead guilty?"

Minister Jiang glared at Minister Zhu coldly.

Minister Jiang prostrated himself, "I plead guilty, but I did not ask the prefect to withhold food and fodder from the people, nor did I ask him to kill people. These have nothing to do with me!"

"Humph, if you hadn't instructed Prefect Li to increase taxes, would he have done that?"

Qian Zhu retorted with gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly. He was trying his best to restrain his fists and not swing them at Minister Zhu's head.

At this time, the voice of Daotong was heard outside again.

"The Virtuous Concubine requests an audience."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned, even Lin You was a little confused.

But after a moment, Lin You guessed her purpose [Could it be that she came for her brother! ]

[Could it be that he is afraid that Zhu Siyu will be implicated in Zhu Shangshu's affairs? Is he coming to help Zhu Shangshu?]

All the ministers who heard the inner voice were shocked.

Defei for her brother?

As far as they know, Zhu Shang has many children, so who could be the younger brother that the empress was talking about?

When Minister Zhu heard that Concubine De was coming, a smile immediately appeared on his fat old face.

His daughter came to rescue him.

When Eunuch Hong saw Lin You nod, he shouted, "Princess Xuande is here to see you."

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Concubine De who walked in.

After paying respect to Lin You who was in a high position, Concubine De explained her purpose of coming, "I came to see you rashly because I want to report Minister Zhu."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

And there is the young emperor drinking tea behind the screen.

Of course, the one who was even more shocked was Minister Zhu.

He angrily shouted at Concubine De: "Concubine De, are you sick? What nonsense are you talking about?"

De Fei just glanced at him and continued to look at the person above her. "Minister Zhu is an official appointed by the imperial court, but his private life is extremely dirty. Not only does he have many wives and concubines, but he also has countless male favorites, and many of those male favorites were coerced."

"When faced with male favorites who refused to obey him, he would lock them up and bully and humiliate them until they submitted."

There was an uproar in the hall.

The ministers' faces were distorted with shock.

Such a big melon, dropped so suddenly, is really hard to digest for a while.

"Zhu Shushu, are you crazy?"

Minister Zhu stood up suddenly, took a few steps forward, raised his hand and slapped Concubine De in the face.

"You don't have the ability to be favored, so you blame me. Now you are slandering me directly. You are an ungrateful person!"

As he said this, he was about to slap Concubine De again, but was stopped by the imperial guards who came running over.

Defei was beaten to the ground, but she did not cry out in pain. Instead, she stood up and continued to say to Minister Jiang and the Dali Temple: "Moreover, he has set his dirty thoughts on my brother."

"That's his bloodline!"

boom--

Defei's words exploded like thunder in the ears of the ministers, deafening them and breaking their hearts!

Lie down, lie down...

This is too explosive, my God!

She's popular with both men and women, and she's even targeting her own offspring!

What is the difference between this horse and an animal?

I can't believe it, I can't believe that Minister Zhu is such a disgusting person.

After all, their ancestors were founding heroes. How come their generation has become so distorted?

"You are talking nonsense. Zhu Siyu is not my child at all. He is the bastard of that bitch. I took him in until now out of kindness. Don't slander me."

When Minister Zhu heard these words, all the energy and blood in his body rushed to his mind and he became even more excited.

"My Lady, Concubine De has gone mad. She has been in the palace for so many years but has not been favored by the Emperor, so she has gone mad. You should quickly take her away and lock her up in the cold palace!"

"Otherwise, her crazy words won't just talk about me, she'll also talk about you and the emperor."

Minister Zhu shouted hysterically.

Qian Zhu's accusation didn't drive him crazy, but De Fei's words drove him crazy.

"Shut up his mouth."

Lin You rubbed his temple and slowly opened his lips.

Upon hearing this, the two imperial guards took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth with it, and tied him up with a hemp rope. Otherwise, he might go crazy and hurt the imperial concubine.

The historian's hands were shaking, not knowing whether to record it or not. After all, if such a scandal was recorded, it would be a huge stain on the Great Sheng Kingdom.

After some struggle, the historian gritted his teeth and recorded it with difficulty, intending to ask the emperor for his opinion later.

"De Fei, do you have any evidence?"

Thanks to Lin You, Shangshu Jiang has already eaten a lot of the shocking melon. He can be said to be the first person at the front line of eating melons. But he is still calm at this time.

After all, he had already eaten the exploding melons from the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple and the three old ladies.

Concubine De, "You can summon my brother, Zhu Siyu, and several male favorites in the mansion to the palace for interrogation."

[Oh my, the cards played by Concubine De are really brave and brilliant! ]

[At this moment, it would be perfect if I could have some melon seeds. ]

Ministers, "..."

When it comes to being confused, no one can be more confused than Qian Zhu.

From the moment Concubine De appeared, his cognition was overturned.

He felt as if he had entered another world.

What? He's targeting both men and women, and even children...

God, I am still a simple, unmarried young person, how could I hear these things!
