Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Xie Shang only needs to connect all the things together to know that it seems that Xiao Yu was able to find out the evidence of the Qin family's crimes in such a short time. He made use of Qin Tai's daughter a lot!

It is true that only ruthless people can be heroes. He is fast, cruel and accurate.

At this time, the emperor finally finished reading all the petitions and evidence. Without waiting for Qin Tai to argue, he just asked coldly, "Where is the censor?"

"I am here." Censor Zhu quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have already received the impeachment letter against Qin Tai, the prefect of Quanzhou, for corruption and bribery. I am just waiting to present it to Your Majesty when we meet in person."

"Send it up."

The emperor knew that Qin Tai had no way out. The prince had already had a plan and the emperor also cooperated with the prince. After Qin Tai became the prefect of Quanzhou, he was too greedy. If he continued to stay, it would be a disaster for the royal family.

"Your Majesty, I plead guilty, but my family is innocent. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare the lives of my wife and children. I am willing to hand over all the stolen money in exchange for the lives of my family." Qin Tai knew that even the Censorate was prepared. It seemed that the person who wanted to investigate him was the prince, and the prince was well prepared. Crying out for injustice would only increase the prince's anger.

If he pleads guilty with a good attitude and hands over the stolen money, he still has a chance to make a comeback. Anyway, even if his house is searched, it won't be completely confiscated.

He didn't know that Xiao Yu had already figured out the Qin family's cards, and the emperor's order to confiscate the Qin family's property would leave not even a single piece of underwear.

Xie Shang was naturally prepared, "Master Xiao, please bring up all the stolen silver seized from the Qin family!"

"Yes."

Soon, Xiao Yu carried up ten large boxes, which were filled with vases, jades, gold and silver jewelry, Guanyin Buddha statues, etc.

Qin Tai's eyes bulged out of his head after seeing this. Aren't these the treasures he hid in the villa?

Xiao Yu said, "Master Qin, do you think they are familiar? These things were not collected from your Qin family, and the villa is not yours. How did I find them during the search?"

Qin Tai's final trump card was revealed, and he knew he had no way out. He looked at his daughter and said, "You told him." During that period, his daughter and Xiao Yu had frequent contact, otherwise she would not have found out these things.

Qin Yunyan was so angry that she cursed, "Xiao Yu, you bastard, you despicable villain, you used me, you lied to me..."

"Miss Qin is also using me." Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "Your Qin family is full of corruption and abuse of power. I am the top scholar appointed by the emperor, so how could I be in collusion with your Qin family? Sir Qin, you didn't expect that you would have such a day!"

Xiao Yu knelt before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin family is not only corrupt in this regard, but also in the extravagant Qin Zhifu's residence. Please send someone to investigate thoroughly."

Xie Shang said, "The evidence of Qin Tai's guilt is irrefutable. Such a villain deserves to be put to death. Now that he has admitted it, the entire Qin family will not escape death." Only by letting him die can the officials present see the consequences of corruption and bribery, which will have a deterrent effect.

"Come here, take Qin Tai and all the Qin family members to the Heavenly Prison. The Censorate will conduct a thorough investigation before sentencing them."

Xie Shang looked up at the emperor, wondering why his father didn't just issue an order to sentence him to death.

He remembered that Qin Tai's name was on the list kept by the Cheng family. It has been thirty years. Could it be that Qin Tai at that time was also his father's subordinate?

Is the emperor going to spare Qin Tai's life? If so, the biggest corrupt leader in a country is the emperor, the country will no longer be a country, and how can the family be a family?

Rumor has it that my father seized the throne from my grandfather.

The next moment, Qin Tai snatched the soldier's knife and stabbed it into his body. "I beg Your Majesty to forgive the death penalty for my wife and children. They didn't know that I was corrupt."

Seeing this, Madam Qin hugged Qin Tai and asked, "Master, why are you..."

Qin Tai pretended to be affectionate until his death, "Madam, I'm sorry, I have harmed you." Save...

Madam Qin glanced at her daughter and thrust the knife into her body as well. "Without the master, I will never live alone. Yan'er, live well and take good care of your brother."

Qin Yunyan didn't expect that her parents would choose to die together. She burst into tears, "Dad, Mom, please don't die. Your daughter can't live without you."

Qin Tai has married many concubines and had children over the years. If he dies, at least the Qin family will still have descendants. If he doesn't die, the Qin family will really have no way out.

Madam Qin and Qin Tai held Qin Yunyan's hands tightly, as if to remind her that since the crime could not be traced to them, the emperor would not really execute all the members of the Qin family. At most, they would be demoted to commoners or slaves, and at least they could keep their lives.

Xie Shang frowned upon seeing this. Qin Tai was corrupt. How could he eat so much by himself? The entire Qin family would benefit from this.

At this time, Qin Tai looked in the direction of the emperor, only to see that the emperor's pupils shrank slightly, and there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion in them, saying that it would be better for him to die.

Xie Shang also noticed that gaze, and suddenly, a trace of fear arose in his heart.

Finally, the emperor ordered the Qin family to be searched and confiscated. All those who were related to the Qin family case were confiscated and investigated. The male members of the Qin family over the age of fifteen were exiled to the northwest for life and were not allowed to return. The women over the age of fifteen were demoted to slaves for life and were assigned to work in slave labor camps in various places...

Qin Yunyan is already fifteen years old, so she is now just a slave of the lowest status. She hates Xiao Yu in her heart because it was because of him that her parents were killed, so even if she becomes a slave, she must find a chance to take revenge.

-

Here, Lian Ye reported the Qin family's outcome to the Crown Princess, and then said, "The Crown Princess doesn't know that when Qin Yunyan was dancing on the stage, her eyes were fixed on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now, she has been demoted to a slave by the Emperor and is being forced to work in a slavery camp."

This result is not good news. Jiang Fenghua frowned. "The Qin family has embezzled a huge amount of money. We can order the execution of all relatives related to Qin Tai. She is Qin Tai's biological daughter and the direct bribee. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she should be beheaded at the Meridian Gate together with Qin Tai."

Lian Ye said, "So Qin Tai and Madam Qin are smart. They died on the spot to apologize for their crimes. Naturally, the emperor would not order the killing of the Qin family's elderly, weak, women and children."

"Not only the Qin family, I don't know how many people they have protected by doing this." Jiang Fenghua curled his lips into a sneer, "A corrupt official can stay in his position and embezzle so much for so many years. It is impossible for his family to do it. The Qin family must have someone above them to be protected for so long, or even longer." So long that it was many years after Xie Shang ascended the throne.

She didn’t know why Qin Yunyan was favored in her previous life. She felt that Xie Shang couldn’t possibly be unaware of the Qin family’s corruption.

In her previous life, Jiang Fenghua never left the palace after entering it, and even cut off contact with the outside world. There were many things Jiang Fenghua didn't know.

In fact, in the previous life, the Qin family withdrew from the court before Xie Shang ascended the throne and purged the first batch of corrupt officials. All the money of the Qin family was also transferred to the national treasury in a different way, giving Xie Shang a lot of financial support. Qin Yunyan took the initiative to admit these things to him, so Qin Yunyan could continue to be a concubine in the palace. Although the Qin family lost its wealth, they saved their lives.

Qin Yunyan also has a son, and her son is her greatest confidence in the palace.

After the banquet, Song Jing and Tang Qianran went to Chenxi Palace together, and for the first time they gossiped in unison.

Song Jing said, "It turns out that the young lady Qin Yunyan who got lost back then was really a beauty."

Tang Qianran said, "The Qin family is extremely corrupt. When the ten large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were brought up, everyone was shocked. A small prefect dared to embezzle so much money. Tsk tsk, how rich must his life be!"

Song Jing said, "Qin Yunyan was still thinking about seducing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince until the end. Crown Princess, guess what?"

Jiang Fenghua also wanted to know Xie Shang's attitude.

Song Jing started to act crazy, "The prince kicked her in the chest and shouted coldly, 'Take her away'. Wow, our prince was not fooled by the beauty. He is so handsome and cool!"

Jiang Fenghua was frowning. Xie Shang was not that kind of person. He was not deceived by her because Qin Yunyan was of no use to him or because he was in a bad mood.

Tang Qianran also said, "Fortunately, she got lost and didn't enter the palace, otherwise the prince would marry the daughter of a corrupt official and affect his reputation..."

Song Jing gossiped again, "Is Zhu Liangdi free today?"

Jiang Fenghua deliberately yawned and said directly, "I need to rest now. The two young ladies please return to the palace!"

Before the two of them left, Jiang Fenghua reminded them, "Dame Zhu Liang had a miscarriage. She will have to stay in the palace to recuperate during this period of time. You should not disturb her too much."

Before the two of them could come to their senses, Zhu Zhenzhen became pregnant and had another miscarriage.

Jiang Fenghua has already gone to the bedroom. There is no news from Luo Ziqiong yet, so I don’t know if she is doing well.
