Chapter 136: Morning Court Complaint
evening.
Shi Xiaoxiao was having dinner.
Xiaoyuan and Xiaotao were picking up some food for Shi Xiaoxiao.
As the sky gradually darkened, Ah Xing came back just a second before it got completely dark.
As soon as she came back, she couldn't wait to tell Shi Xiaoxiao what she saw and heard outside.
"Miss, do you know what this servant heard outside?"
Before Shi Xiaoxiao could say anything, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Tao were so curious that they couldn't wait to ask her.
"what?"
Seeing the two of them looking gossipy.
Ah Xing proudly approached Shi Xiaoxiao.
"Just now when I came back, I heard that the storehouse of the Councillor's house was robbed by a group of men in black last night."
Xiaoyuan and the other girl widened their eyes.
Madoka: "Ah, can't you?"
Xiaotao's eyes were bright and full of curiosity.
"What else? What else?"
Ah Xing glanced at Xiao Yuan. "You still don't believe me even after I tell you. It's impossible. It's said that a group of men in black blew up the councillor's wall in the middle of the night and secretly stole everything from his storehouse. The councillor was so angry that he fainted and couldn't even afford a doctor. They've already reported it to the government office, and maybe even to the emperor tomorrow."
"That's too tragic. Did the Councillor offend someone?"
"Who knows? It has nothing to do with us anyway."
Shi Xiaoxiao listened quietly, a faint smile flashing across her face.
I didn't expect that Ah Xing knew so much and knew so much comprehensively after going out.
Shi Xiaoxiao felt that Ah Xing was a good at finding out information.
Ah Xing looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, "Miss, aren't you curious?"
"Why are you curious? Why would you care about other people's affairs? It has nothing to do with us anyway."
Ah Xing nodded, "Miss, that's right."
……
The next day.
above the hall.
All civil and military officials gathered in the Golden Palace.
Only some of the ministers looked at one of the ministers with a gloating look.
Huo Tingxing stood there with a gloomy face. Facing the gloating eyes around him, he felt extremely ugly.
An old minister with gray hair spoke with a smile.
"Why does Lord Huo look so worried? Didn't he get enough rest last night?"
Huo Tingxing glanced at him and said, "Master Li, if you don't speak, no one will take you as a mute."
A younger official next to him looked at Huo Tingxing's ugly face and raised the corner of his mouth.
He said to the old minister, "Master Li, you forgot that Master Huo's house was robbed yesterday. He must be in a bad mood. I heard that the entire warehouse was emptied. He must be in no mood to sleep, haha."
Huo Tingxing looked at the two of them laughing at him, and he just snorted coldly.
Although they were all gloating, there was no need for him to offend anyone.
After all, you may not see him when you look up, but you will see him when you look down.
He also has to consider the overall situation.
We have to win over these ministers for that person, but now that we have offended them, how can we win them over?
Shi Yuan stood quietly aside, with a cold look in his eyes.
He is about to sue the emperor for the crime of collusion with Huo Tingxing.
Today will be Huo Tingxing's last glorious day.
Huo Tingxing and Shi Yuan's eyes met by chance.
The former looked away guiltily, while the latter snorted lightly.
Just a moment.
A bright yellow figure slowly sat on the supreme position at the call of a sharp voice.
All the ministers knelt down and shouted.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The emperor glanced at the kneeling minister with a sharp gaze. His imperial appearance was so domineering and awe-inspiring that it made people afraid.
The majestic voice was as deafening as thunder, which made people feel awe.
"Flat body."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and got up.
Huo Tingxing immediately reported with grievance, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The emperor glanced at Huo Tingxing. He had heard about what happened yesterday, but at this moment he pretended not to know and asked.
"What's the matter with my dear?"
Huo Tingxing's voice was full of anger. "Your Majesty, a group of men in black appeared yesterday and blew a hole in the corner of my mansion. They also took the opportunity to steal the silver that I had worked hard to donate to the people for the winter. If it was just some silver, it wouldn't matter, but that was the silver that I was going to donate to the people to keep them alive. Your Majesty, this matter must be strictly investigated."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at Huo Tingxing with amusement, and the gloating in their eyes was not hidden at all.
He even scoffed at Huo Tingxing's reasons.
Don't they know who Huo Tingxing is?
He has always been a stingy person, and now he says that he is raising money for the people.
That's bullshit.
It was obvious that he wanted the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly and find an excuse at the same time.
There are countless forces in the underworld, and it is impossible for the government to recover the money alone.
But it would be different if the order came from the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyebrows. "Oh? I didn't expect you to be so considerate of the people of Daqi. If so, I must recover the money."
After saying that, he cast his gaze on Ji Chen who was standing silently on the side, "How about leaving this matter to my royal brother?"
Upon hearing this, all the ministers turned their eyes to Ji Chen.
During this period, the emperor would leave all the big and small matters to this Prince Xiao.
But he was so busy that he had no time to rest.
Now everyone knows that the emperor is using the same trick again.
Although Prince Xiao is the God of War of Daqi, the emperor is the most powerful one after all. No matter how powerful he is, he has to listen to the emperor.
Ji Chen raised his eyes calmly and raised his hand to the emperor, "Your Highness, I obey your command."
After saying that, he looked at Huo Tingxing and asked, "I wonder if Lord Huo could tell me what characteristics those men in black have?"
Huo Tingxing also wanted to get his money back quickly, so he told everything without hiding anything.
In fact, he knew very little.
"Those men in black... ran very fast. Their skills weren't particularly impressive, but they were carrying a very special weapon: a small iron ball. Although small, the explosive force was immense. So, my men were caught in the trap and lost their money."
When Ji Chen heard this, a picture flashed through his mind and his eyes flickered.
He glanced at Shi Yuan calmly, only to see him staring straight ahead.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
He raised his head to Huo Tingxing and said, "I will do my best to solve this matter."
Huo Tingxing was happy.
With the addition of King Xiao, it should not be difficult to recover the money.
As he thought about it, a slight smile appeared on his face.
After Huo Tingxing's story was finished, several ministers reported some major and minor matters.
When the time was almost up, Shi Yuan slowly walked out.
He raised his hand to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
When the emperor saw Shi Yuan coming out, the cold expression on his face gradually warmed up, "My dear, what is the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I have someone to report."
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Oh? Who has offended you, my dear? Tell me about it."
Shi Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold. "It's not that you offended me, but that you offended the millions of people in Daqi. I want to sue the councilor Huo Tingxing. He colluded with foreign enemies and traded with the people of Lin. He has the intention of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Please order his arrest."
The emperor's expression changed.
His cold eyes fell on Huo Tingxing.
