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

Jiang Fenghua's eyes flickered slightly, and he pretended to glare at her, and said softly, "I can only guarantee that if he dares to recommend himself this time, the emperor will not be angry. It depends on whether he has the courage."

Lu Xuefei said happily, "Thank you, Crown Princess. You are so kind."

Jiang Fenghua thought to himself: It was because the emperor suddenly became interested in investigating the case. The reason why the emperor had the time to investigate Yuzhou might be that Xie Shang had taken over the government, and the emperor had nothing to do, so he suddenly wanted to do something good for the people.

This was exactly what she wanted.

In the next few days, the eighth prince also joined in.

The Eighth Prince will be leaving the palace to set up his own household in a few months. If he can share the emperor's worries, it will be very helpful for him to be canonized as a prince in the future. It will even be important what position he holds.

Lu Xuefei is truly Xie Qi's benefactor.

Soon, the case in Yuzhou was basically investigated. Because the money was allocated by the emperor, the investigation started from the source, and it was handled by the emperor himself, so the efficiency was very high, and the case could be solved no matter how many years had passed.

Minister Zhao's private withholding of tribute was just the fuse. Who made him so greedy that he dared to touch the tribute?

In the end, the investigation was traced back to Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Revenue. Even officials who had resigned from the position of Yuzhou prefect were investigated, and those who had been promoted to serve as officials in the capital were not spared.

When the emperor sent the eighth prince to Shangshu Zhao's residence to arrest someone, Shangshu Zhao almost didn't react who the person was. He took out his badge and the emperor's token and then he slowly called out "Eighth Prince".

Xie Qi was also quite talented in law, naturally thanks to the good instruction from his master Lu Xuefei. He also learned quickly and shocked Minister Zhao at once.

The Eighth Prince said in a deep voice, "Take Lord Zhao away."

Zhao Yuntong in the palace was stunned when she heard the news. She had already married into the Eastern Palace and had not yet received the favor of the prince, but her father was investigated. At this time, she did not know that it was she who caused her father to be investigated.

Zhao Yuntong went straight to Concubine Zhao's palace and cried, "Aunt, how could this happen? Why was my father imprisoned by the emperor?"

Concubine Zhao was also very panicked because she had received many benefits from the Zhao family. She had even planned a lot of private property for her son. What would she do if the emperor investigated and found out that she was the one?

Concubine Zhao is now unable to take care of herself, and she has been confined by the Emperor.

"Aunt, please think of a way to save my father!" Zhao Yuntong was also afraid that the Zhao family would collapse, because if the Zhao family collapsed, she would be finished too.

"Why would the emperor want to investigate the Zhao family? For so many years, your father has been holding the position of Minister of Revenue very firmly."

Zhao Yuntong shook her head repeatedly, "I don't know either." She was unable to get to the prince and had no idea of ​​the real situation.

At this time, Concubine Zhao already had an idea in her mind, which was to let the Zhao family quickly return the embezzled money to the emperor, at least to save the Zhao family's lives.

I just don't know how much he embezzled.

On this side, Xie Shang was also busy with the Su family's case and almost forgot what to do on the Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Zhu Zhenzhen found Xie Shang, but was directly rejected by Xie Shang on the grounds that he was busy with government affairs.

At that time, the prince was discussing the case with his ministers and Censor Zhu.

Censor Zhu found an excuse to scold Zhu Zhenzhen, "Why go to the night market or the lantern festival? Your Highness has been busy for half a month and has not rested for a single day. You are the Crown Prince's woman, why don't you learn from the Crown Princess? The Crown Princess follows the Emperor to investigate cases every day and is highly valued by him."

Zhu Zhenzhen's eyes were red, "Father."

"You still have the nerve to cry when you can't even protect a child." Censor Zhu was also angry that she had lost her first child and her stomach had been flat since then. A woman who can't give birth is not a woman. The royal family cares most about the heir.

Zhu Zhenzhen's tears fell down. She also wanted to have a child quickly, but she didn't know why she couldn't get pregnant.

In the end, Zhu Zhenzhen left in shame.

The Su family's case went more smoothly than Xie Shang had expected. In addition to the previous charges that the Su family had set up a harem on the frontier, committed excessive debauchery and formed a private clique, even the old case of General Cheng Yong's corruption and bribery from more than ten years ago was dug up. Some people pointed out that it was Su Dehai who framed General Cheng, and other matters such as falsely claiming military merits were also revealed. Even the stains of General Su were dug up, and each case was jaw-dropping.

There were both witnesses and physical evidence, and the whole Shengjing City was in an uproar for a while. The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and had already spread to every state, city, county, town, and village in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Everyone demanded that the Su family be severely punished and attacked. The literati even wrote articles and compiled the stories of the Su family into poems and essays to circulate, and some even compiled them into operas to sing, saying that three generations of the Su family were extremely evil.

The story was also spreading at the border, and scandals of those who supported the Su family were also exposed. A literary case was launched, but it was all a literary case against the Su family, demanding that the emperor severely punish the Su clan.

The Su family's attempt to use military merit as a golden ticket to immunity from death was also thwarted.

-

Another month passed, and Jiang Jinyan escorted the Su family members at the border back to Shengjing City.

Starting from the city gate, the streets were deserted. All those escorted back were the Su family's lackeys, even those who had done evil with the Su family, and a large group of women.

Zhang Yuyan was also among the women. The first time she saw Jiang Jinyan, she almost burst into tears. In the past two years, she was tortured by Su Xuan at the border. She tried to escape, but she couldn't. She even killed the baby in her belly. The baby was not Su Xuan's, but that of those beasts. She told Jiang Jinyan about her misery.

Jiang Jinyan arranged a carriage for her to take back to Shengjing because she was Zhang Yumo's cousin. She already knew that her mother lost her life in order to let her marry into the Su family.

She regretted that she shouldn't have wanted to be the general's wife.

In front of all the people of Shengjing, she exposed the evil deeds of the Su family at the top of her lungs...

There was a noble lady in Beijing who knew Zhang Yuyan. She then found out that she had married into the Su family on the border. She didn't expect that she was so miserable.

Here, Zhang Yumo had received the news from Jiang Jinyan that she was about to give birth. She walked to Zhang Yuyan with a big belly, her eyes red. Although the two had conflicts since childhood, she didn't want Zhang Yuyan to be so miserable after getting married, "Yuyan."

When Zhang Yuyan saw her, she was already crying. She wanted to say, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. What I've suffered is retribution." But she couldn't say anything.

"It's all over. Everything will be fine." Zhang Yumo comforted her without her having to say anything.

Zhang Yuyan shook her head repeatedly, and finally spoke, "My mother spent so much effort to marry me to the Su family as a general's wife, but in the end it was all in vain. It was all because of my greed, wanting to be the general's wife. I was wrong, woo woo..."

Speaking of the Second Madam, as well as grandparents, Zhang Yumo's eyes also turned red: "They were all killed after you left Shengjing, and the real murderer behind it was Su Xuan. Although Su Xuan is not in Kyoto, he is the one who controlled everything."

"I'm sorry to my mother."

Zhang Yumo sent her back to the Zhang Mansion. However, when the Zhang family knew she was back, they were afraid that she would bring shame to the family, so they locked her out.

Her father had married a new wife and had completely forgotten about her mother.

In fact, neither Zhang Yuyan nor her mother were good people. They suffered such a fate because of their greed for the Su family's power, but she still couldn't be so cold-blooded.
