MTL - After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums-Chapter 548 551: The Ji family is guilty

  Chapter 548 551: The Ji family is guilty

  Chu Pan'er's murder of the queen was blown out of the palace like a gust of wind, and all civil and military officials heard about it before going to court.

  So as soon as he went up to court, the quiet needle drop could be heard in the entire Jinluan Hall, and Pingliang Hou stood in front of him with a pale complexion. If it wasn't for the support of his faith, he would have passed out long ago.

   "The emperor is here!"

  Following the eunuch's shout, the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

  The crowd bowed their heads and knelt, they could not see Emperor Chengde's expression, they could only hear the rubbing of his clothes.

  Under the trembling, Emperor Chengde said: "All lovers, let's all die."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

   Everyone thanked each other, stood up and stood on both sides.

At this time, someone quietly looked at Emperor Chengde's face. The handsome emperor sat high on the dragon chair, not angry and pretentious, and his black eyes swept over him casually, like a lightning bolt splitting the sky. To shock people's hearts.

   "Pinglianghou, you really raised a good daughter." Cheng Dedi stared at Pinglianghou coldly, but his plain voice was like a boulder pressing towards him.

  Hou Pingliang suffocated for breath, and fell to his knees on the ground with weak legs: "Damn the humble minister, the emperor calm down."

   "You really deserve to die. You raised a vicious daughter, and even taught my sons and daughters to be mean and vicious."

  Ping Lianghou prostrated himself on the ground, trembling, too frightened to say a word.

   With such a serious crime covered, their Ji family can still survive. Pingliang Hou wants to complain, but thinking about what the nine princesses did, he really has no face to shout.

  Nine princesses commit crimes, which means concubines commit crimes.

  As for the concubine Xian being the daughter of the Ji family, it means the Ji family is guilty.

  Ping Lianghou was startled and frightened, as if a knife was hanging above his head.

  Someone couldn't help guessing the meaning in Emperor Chengde's words.

   They knew about the crime of the nine princesses, but the emperor said that the concubine Ji taught her two children to be despicable and vicious?

   Could it be that the emperor angered the fifth prince because of this?

  But the fifth prince is far away at the border, so is it possible that he can send a letter from thousands of miles back to teach the ninth princess to harm the empress?

  Just when they were puzzled, a pile of things suddenly fell from above. They were letters and memorials, and they were thrown on Pinglianghou's head.

  Ping Lianghou's face was pressed against the ground, and he didn't dare to move.

   Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment, and was the first to step forward to pick up one of the pieces of paper.

   Immediately after, An Guogong and other ministers standing in front also picked it up and looked at it. Every time they read a line, their faces darkened.

  Things were slowly passed to the hands of the ministers behind, and everyone who had seen them knelt down at the end, looking around, one after another like onions.

  Everyone was shocked, and finally understood why the emperor even scolded the fifth prince.

  Early before the eighth prince returned to Beijing, the fifth prince sent people to assassinate him many times. There were confessions from the captured secret guards, as well as confessions from Quzhou General Lu Shiming and the rest of the participants.

   Now not only Pingliang Hou shivered, but also many ministers in the court became panicked.

The assassination of the eighth prince by the fifth prince involves the struggle of the former dynasty. If the nine princesses poisoned the empress and the Marquis of Pingliang’s mansion was to be stripped of their skin, now that this is added, it will be a catastrophe. What good will happen to the disciples of Zhongping Lianghou and the courtiers who follow the fifth prince?

   "Marquis of Pingliang, are you convicted?" Emperor Chengde said in a deep voice.

   "Your Majesty's lesson, I don't know, I don't have it." Marquis Pingliang didn't care about his image at this meeting, and cried loudly.

  Emperor Cheng De looked at him with cool eyes.

   I don’t know?

  Heh, Pinglianghou may not dare to encourage the fifth child to attack the eighth child, but he definitely knows about it.

He originally suppressed this matter, and planned to wait for the army to return to Beijing. He had just won the battle, and the fifth son went out with the three armies. guilty.

   Didn't expect his daughter to dare to poison the queen.

  Ji's family is really good, one after another.

  Emperor Cheng De was so angry that blue veins protruded from his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said:

   "Decree to take back the title of the Marquis of Pingliang, dismiss all the officials in the mansion, imprison them in Dali Temple, try them one by one, and then punish them according to law."

   "The sinful woman Ji has no way to teach her sons. She condoned the nine princesses to poison the queen, instigated the fifth prince to assassinate the eighth prince, abolished her concubine and demoted her to a commoner, and gave her death."

   "Princess Nine disrespected her mother-in-law and had a vicious mind. She abolished her status as a princess and demoted her to a commoner under confinement in the clan's residence."

   "The fifth prince murdered his brothers and formed a clique for personal gain. He was immediately arrested and brought back to Beijing, where he was demoted as a commoner and confined to the clan's residence."

   "Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Minister of Dali Temple..."

  The two people whose names were called hurriedly ran to the front and knelt down: "The minister is here."

   "I order you to strictly investigate, who is involved in this, and what crimes are involved, I will find out one by one and punish them severely according to the law."

  Emperor Chengde's decrees one after another made everyone tremble.

  Zuo Shiwen responded to Marquis Wu'an, "I obey the order."

  It wasn't until Emperor Chengde retreated that everyone recovered from their astonishment and walked out of the palace with weak legs.

  Original Pingliang Hou Ji Benchang was taken away by the Imperial Forest Army as early as when the emperor gave the decree.

Liu Xiang was followed by several officials, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, full of things to say but didn't know where to start, until he walked out of the palace gate, Liu Xiang said calmly: "Needless to say, what happened today has nothing to do with us. It's okay, everyone go back."

   Hearing what Liu Xiang said, everyone understood immediately, so they bid farewell to each other and left.

  They were not afraid, they just wanted to know if Liu Xiang would take this opportunity to do something, so they could prepare in advance.

  Leaving aside the matter of the Ninth Princess, the matter of the Fifth Prince is obviously the evidence of the Eighth Prince's crime. They fight, no matter who wins or loses, the Second Prince can benefit from it, and there is one less rival.

  The emperor was kind to his children and did not take their lives, but the Ji family fell in this big summer, and they might not be able to turn over for decades.

  The Imperial Forest Army quickly went to the Ji Mansion to fetch people, and there was a lot of crying and wailing at the gate of the Ji Mansion, from the master to the servants were all taken away.

  The same was true at the Princess's Mansion, the plaque was taken down, and all three of the Ji family who lived here were taken away. The third wife, Mrs. He, cried and cursed, in exchange for several slaps.

  The long street at the entrance was full of common people, they exchanged the news they had heard, accused and cursed at the people in the Ji Mansion.

   There are several high-ranking families that are really clean. Emperor Chengde ordered the withdrawal of the investigation, just to take the Ji family into action.

  He is not willing to kill his son, so is he not willing to kill Ji's family?

  No matter how noisy outside, Lu Xiang was safely sent back to Lu's house from Shaohua.

  The old lady didn’t realize it last night. She heard about Chu Pan’er’s murder of the queen this morning, and she also understood that the granddaughter’s stay in the palace was not because the queen stayed overnight, but because something happened and she couldn’t get out.
