Aiqing always wants to commit the following crimes [Rebirth]

The days of fine weather were interrupted by dense clouds.

The heavy rain came unexpectedly. Just after the morning court, many officials hid under the eaves of various buildings to avoid the rain. They stayed together in twos and threes, and it seemed too embarrassing not to speak.

"Going to the emperor's imperial study" has become a taboo thing, and most of them avoid it when they chat.

The officials tacitly maintained a temporary calm on the surface, and stabbed each other in private.

There are also those who are not popular, like Lin Quanshui from the Ministry of Industry. He stood with Liu Maolin from the Ministry of Households. He was very straightforward and asked, "Did Master Liu go to the Imperial Study yesterday?"

Liu Maolin was taken aback for a moment, feeling guilty because of Lin Quanshui's gaze, hesitatingly said: "Yes, no, but I'm going to talk to His Majesty about the reconstruction of Jianghuai after the disaster. Don't think too much, Mr. Lin..."

The two of them had a feud before, so it's normal for people to think so.

Lin Quanshui smiled, his fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a strange way: "Lord Liu, don't worry, I went in with Master Liu, but I forgot to say hello yesterday, so I'm going to say hello today."

Liu Maolin's face turned dark immediately after hearing this.

An aura of secret rivalry spread between the two of them. They each had their own ghosts and had done shameful things.It just happened to take advantage of this big mess to bring out those long-standing grievances and clean them up.

Li Mengting's imperial study room is open all day long, and there are many people coming and going, for official business, private affairs, and reporting.Some have sufficient evidence, come aggressively, and hold their heads up when they leave, not afraid of being criticized.

Some people are wary and timid, such people, Li Mengting must be good at persuading them.After all, she is not afraid of rats or weapons, and the most important thing is to induce the truth.

Some confronted each other on the spot, and those who couldn't agree with each other fought in the imperial study room.

Li Mengting sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, not to mention how beautiful she was, she was not afraid of noise or trouble, she just wanted to let the dog eat the dog, making the situation more and more chaotic.

Three days later, ministers with sufficient evidence and true facts were sent to the guillotine one after another.

There were also officials who saw their own end in advance, and frightened themselves to death, unwilling to Ling Chi, secretly found a piece of land and buried themselves.

In previous lives, when Yin Mingxi died, his body would be sold and continue to be raped by others. Li Mengting would not let these cowardly and treacherous people go.

If the dead or buried ones are found and dug up, they can continue to be punished.

It didn't take long for Li Mengting's reputation as a tyrant to spread, and many people stood up to oppose her and impeach her.A crime should be punished, but humiliating a corpse is too much.

The more they resisted, the more the fire in Li Mengting's heart burned.

She will never forget the despair in her heart when Yin Mingxi died in front of her eyes.The kind that had struggled forward and was firmly clamped, watching her die helplessly.

For every person behind the scenes, she will let them get their due retribution.

**

Reports, killings, and early imperial examinations continued.

Li Mengting extended his hand to the inner palace.

The inner palace is also an unclean place.

For decades, as long as they are willing to spend money, there are people who are willing to serve them as hidden stakes, spying for information, murdering for money, monitoring and passing on, and such things happen every day.

Li Mengting couldn't tolerate these people eating the food given by the emperor, but doing things like eating inside and out.

She wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the inner palace as well.

After trial and trial, Li Mengting had an unexpected harvest.She found that the big fish she was thinking of might be hidden in the deep pool of the inner palace.

It lurks at the bottom of the pool, manipulating everything shrewdly and silently.

Countless people danced because of it, because it staged scenes of joys and sorrows, and the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.

Li Mengting tightly grasped the special impeachment document in his hand, and carefully squeezed out every word in the document.

This time it wasn't casting a net to catch fish, nor was it using bait to lure, but seeing a big fish and forcing it to be picked up with a net.

After nightfall, the Imperial Study Room was so quiet that only the sound of Li Mengting writing was heard. Chen Hai brought a new pot of tea and prepared to handle it with care. After putting it down, he would leave without affecting the emperor's handling of official duties.

But Li Mengting stopped him when he saw his figure: "Chen Hai."

Chen Hai raised his head, his eyes glowed with a soft light, his whole person was gentle and gentle, he asked softly: "Are you arguing with Your Majesty?"

"No, it's just that I suddenly thought of a question and wanted to ask you." Li Mengting clasped his hands, put them on the desk, rubbed his thumbs together, raised his head and looked at Chen Hai who was standing respectfully: "Are you in the palace?" I have stayed in the palace for decades, coming and going in these palaces, are you not tired of these things? Have you ever thought about going out of the palace?"

Chen Hai lowered his eyebrows, he didn't expect the emperor to ask himself these things suddenly, but these questions were not difficult to answer, and he calmed down: "People change when they come and go. I entered the palace at the age of six, and now I am in my dying years, I have already regarded this place as the home of the old slave, the place where the old slave returns. Besides, where else can I go?"

"Your Majesty is going to drive this old slave out of the palace?" Chen Hai put on a sad face.

"Of course not." Li Mengting immediately denied it, "I was looking through the list of errands in the palace, and found that there are many people coming and going in the palace, and you, Chen Hai, are the one who loves the royal family the most."

"I am very grateful to you for decades."

Chen Hai wanted to believe Li Mengting's words, after all, he was just a young emperor, younger than all the emperors he had served.

But the skill of guessing people's hearts accumulated over the years told him that things were not that simple.

"You have served four kings in your life, and you are highly regarded by them, including me. I have always trusted you." Li Mengting stood up, put his hands behind his back, and got off the dragon chair.

She walked to the door, looked at the moon in the sky, and continued: "You handle things properly and meticulously. No matter what you do, you are reassuring. You are diligent and informal, and you have never participated in the party disputes of the previous dynasty."

"It's really a good right-hand man."

The more Chen Hai tasted, the more he felt that something was wrong. Li Mengting's words obviously had a turning point, and there was more to it.

He didn't make a sound, quietly waiting for Li Mengting's next words.

Sure enough, Li Mengting changed the subject, turned around and walked towards Chen Hai again: "However, someone covets you. He pays attention to your whereabouts, your words and deeds, and all the people you have come into contact with. He collects you in the dark." I hope that one day he can replace you."

"Guess who this person is?"

Chen Hai had an answer in his mind, but he didn't want to say it, and smiled gently: "I don't know, please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"It's Yan Guanglian." Li Mengting didn't hide anything.

"You should have noticed his intentions early on and deliberately suppressed him, right?"

Chen Hai nodded after hearing this: "It is true, Yan Guanglian has always wanted to replace the old slave in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and he hoped that the old slave would die, but he did not expect that the old slave's body is so hard, and he has not died after living for so long. He couldn't wait any longer, so he was talking nonsense in front of His Majesty?"

Li Mengting smiled, walked up to Chen Hai and patted him on the shoulder: "Nonsense is not counted, he just recorded your whereabouts over the years and listed them one by one for me to see. But there are some perverts That's it."

"He wanted to stand out too much, so he forced himself to follow up carefully. Over the years, has Eunuch Chen seen the submissive Yan Guanglian on the surface, so we know that he is actually your observer behind the scenes?"

Chen Hai was slightly surprised, he only knew that Yan Guanglian was not dealing with him, and had been trying his best to get ahead, but he didn't expect that he would do this secretly.

However, Chen Hai will never leave any grounds for being criticized by others. He is not afraid that he will have any grounds in Yan Guanglian's hands, so he expressed his attitude: "Your Majesty, the old servant behaves righteously, sit up straight , not afraid of impeachment. His Majesty wants to investigate the old slave, and the old slave will try his best to cooperate until the truth of the matter is found out."

Li Mengting took the piece of paper pressed at the bottom of the book and handed it to Chen Hai: "He handed it to me. In fact, Eunuch Chen's daily schedule is very fixed, and most of them are fine. The only abnormal thing is that in recent years. Eunuch Chen can't sleep at night and often wakes up at night."

"It's an old problem, I have a headache, why don't I get up at night and take medicine?" Chen Hai's face wrinkled.

The corner of Li Mengting's mouth curled into a meaningful smile: "There is nothing wrong with taking medicine, but Yan Guanglian said that most of the time Eunuch Chen is not in the room after he wakes up at night."

"May I ask Eunuch Chen where you have been all these nights?"

Chen Hai was at a loss for words. In fact, he still had a lot of excuses to say.For example, get up at night to go to the latrine, get up at night to walk around.

But Yan Guanglian had the patience to follow him all night long, and he would definitely record everything that happened.

If Chen Hai answered that way, he would be shooting himself in the foot.

After being dull for a while, Chen Haicai said: "Your Majesty, please tell me about your suspicions."

There was a smile that was different from usual on the corner of his mouth, it was neither gentle nor sinister, it was like the smile raised after a long run and finally reached the finish line.

Li Mengting walked in front of Chen Hai, suppressed all the smiles on his face, looked at him coldly, and said word by word: "You are the one who is dormant in the palace, constantly sending information to foreign enemies, and wants to open the country to foreign enemies. "

"You have already hated the people and things in the deep palace, and the life of year after year and day after day. You feel that your ingenuity is unparalleled in the world, and you take pleasure in playing with the monarchs and ministers, watching them all as stupid as pigs , The people who have brought disaster to the country and the people are right in front of them, but they are not suspected at all."

"The more they trust you, the more harmless you act and the crazier you are behind your back!"

"Chen Hai!" Li Mengting yelled loudly, with anger welling up in his head, he stepped forward and grabbed Chen Hai's neck, cursing angrily with scarlet eyes: "Is it fun? Do you know how many people will be killed by your playfulness? "

"How many people will be displaced because of you, starved of food, and reduced to slaves killed by the Simons at will!"

There is another person, who is constantly circulating in the cycle of pain...how innocent is she?
