The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

The residence of Minister Zhu.

Seeing the imperial guards suddenly pouring in, the whole family panicked. Only the mistress remained calm. She walked up and asked, "Sir, what happened?"

"We were ordered to take Zhu Siyu and several male favorites in the mansion back for interrogation."

The eldest brother of the imperial guards showed his token.

When Mrs. Zhu heard the word "male favorite", her body suddenly swayed and she almost fell to the ground. The maid behind her quickly supported her.

Has this day finally arrived?

When the concubines behind him heard this, they were also shocked.

Then a group of people came up to Madam Zhu and asked in a flurry, "Madam, has the master been arrested?"

"Madam, the master has been arrested. Are we implicated as well?"

"Ma'am, do we all have to go to jail?"

"Madam, will our house be confiscated? How will we live in the future?"

"Mother, what about our marriage?"

"Mother, will I have no new clothes to wear in the future?"

"Mother……"

Mrs. Zhu fainted immediately.

They were outside Zhu Siyu's courtyard, eating melon seeds and discussing how to get rid of the guards so as to deal with Zhu Siyu's three brothers. When they saw a group of imperial guards coming in, the three pig-headed brothers were stunned.

They were so confused that they didn't come to their senses until they entered Zhu Siyu's yard.

The three pig-heads then stood up and ran to ask about the situation. The leader showed his token and said exactly the same words as before.

The three brothers were stunned.

Taking Zhu Siyu in for interrogation means that their frequent bullying of him has been exposed.

If Zhu Siyu confessed during the interrogation, wouldn't they also have to go to jail?

Thinking of this, the three brothers turned pale and their legs began to tremble.

It's over, they are finished now...

Zhu Siyu came out when he heard the noise and had heard what the leader said.

Zhu Siyu, whose face was still a little pale, did not feel shocked and followed the imperial guards calmly.

"Do you know where Minister Zhu's male lover is imprisoned?"

The imperial guards asked.

Zhu Siyu pursed her lips and nodded.

Minister Zhu took him to that filthy place more than once. He wanted to use that disguised method to make him surrender, but he had grown up being oppressed and humiliated, so he had become numb. Even when they performed a live sex show in front of him, he did not even blink an eye.

But fortunately, Shushu had always protected him, so Minister Zhu did not dare to use force on him, otherwise...

There won't be that moment. If that moment comes, his life will be over.

He had lived like an ant, and he persisted only because of a ray of light. But if he didn't even have the hope of pursuing that ray of light, then what would it matter if he died!

He was never afraid of death, but he couldn't bear to give up that light.

The girl who had protected him since childhood.

"What are you doing? This is the Shangshu Mansion! How can you just barge in?"

The old lady was just about to come out to bask in the sun when she saw Zhu Siyu leading a group of imperial guards to enter the men's concubine courtyard. She hurried forward to stop them.

The imperial guard had no choice but to show his token again. This time he was too lazy to explain and said coldly: "Please don't interfere with our work, Madam, otherwise..."

When the old lady heard this, she quickly moved aside to let them in.

"How to do how to do……"

The old lady was so anxious that she was running around in circles. "Oh, right, Xiao Jiejie, look for Xiao Jiejie."

"He is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. He will definitely be able to help."

Thinking of this, the old lady returned to her yard tremblingly, and then wrote a letter to Shangguan Shaoqing.

Those male favorites were naturally not allowed to enter the Golden Palace, so Minister Jiang interrogated them outside the palace, and only Zhu Siyu entered the palace.

When he saw Concubine De, his eyes sparkled, and after paying his respects to the woman on the dragon throne, he waited for questioning.

After asking for the name first, the Dali Temple Chief Justice began to try the case. Zhu Siyu clenched his fingers and answered the Dali Temple Chief Justice's questions one by one.

With every answer, the light in his eyes became numb. Even though this was a very humiliating thing, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he could live well and that the beast Zhu Jin could go to hell.

As long as he goes to hell, he may be able to pursue his light.

Even if it's just to watch her from a distance from time to time.

"Um..."

Zhu Jin's mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak. He could only mumble anxiously.

In order to interrogate Zhu Siyu, Zhu Jin also had to be interrogated, so they had to let him speak temporarily.

As soon as the handkerchief was taken out, Zhu Jin spat at Zhu Siyu, "Bah, you are all ungrateful bastards!"

"You bastard, I took you in out of kindness, but you turned against me. You said I forced you, so I did force you? Where's the evidence?"

"The wounds on my body are evidence, and the male favorites outside can also serve as testimonies." Zhu Siyu said numbly, without any ripples on his face.

It's like a puppet that has been deprived of expression.

Defei's heart tightened again when she saw this.

Coincidentally, Minister Jiang came in with the reviewed testimony.

Several of the male favorites were relatively young. When they learned that Zhu Jin had committed the crime of corruption and could no longer continue to be rampant, they confessed all the crimes they had committed.

Some of them even confessed to Zhu Jin's murder.

Minister Jiang also asked about Zhu Siyu. After all, it was Concubine De who brought up the matter, so he naturally had to investigate thoroughly.

What the male favorites said was consistent with what Zhu Siyu said. He was indeed taken into the male favorite courtyard by Zhu Jin and forced to watch their performances in order to make him submit, but Zhu Siyu did not do so.

Because Zhu Jin was afraid of Concubine De, he did not dare to use force against Zhu Siyu.

At this time, the two guards sent by Lin You to protect Zhu Siyu presented the account books and stolen money in Zhu Shangshu's mansion to Shangshu Jiang.

Seeing this, Zhu Jin, who was jumping like a toad, became dispirited.

With all the evidence and witnesses, he could no longer defend himself.

Because Zhu Jin's crime was serious, especially the Lizhou incident, which involved so many people, after he signed and sealed the document, Eunuch Hong reported the matter to the emperor and awaited his decision.

This time, Eunuch Hong was surprisingly quick. "According to the Emperor's order, this matter will be decided by the Imperial Concubine."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers looked at the woman behind the pearl curtain.

Lin You, who was eating fruit secretly, was stunned when he heard Eunuch Hong say this.

[No, such a big matter actually let me make the decision? Is Shen Jingan, this sickly emperor, addicted to being a hands-off emperor?]

The sickly emperor, the hands-off emperor...

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this.

They dared not even disrespect their extremely noble emperor in the slightest in their hearts!

The young emperor behind the screen heard these thoughts and had trouble drinking his tea. He almost started coughing again, but he quickly suppressed it so that the ministers would not notice his presence.

This woman is really...

It's not worth your life to piss someone off.

[Hiss, this question is a bit difficult. ]

The more Lin You thought about it, the more he realized that this matter was not that simple.

[Logically speaking, the two guards had been with Zhu Siyu for so many days, it is impossible that they did not discover that there was something fishy going on between Concubine De and Zhu Siyu, right?]

[Even if he didn't notice, the sickly emperor should have realized something was wrong from Concubine De's outrageous behavior. At this point, he should have been furious and sentenced Zhu Siyu and the Zhu family to death. Why did he let me make the decision? What does this mean?]
