Wang Ye comforted his wife and turned around to order, "Take her away."
"Master …"
"Go back to your room."
Wang Liushi wiped her tears and went back to the backyard with the help of two maids. Wang Ye tidied up his clothes and his face darkened. He said to the man from the Ministry of Justice, "I'm the Officer of the Supreme Judiciary. How can you arrest me so easily? How dare you bring people to my Mansion without any evidence to prove that I know about Wang Zhe's murder? Who gave Lord Li such a big privilege?
Quan, this official wants to present a memorial to His Majesty and complain about him! "
He was so aggressive!
How dare he say that! I'm f * cking imposing.
The leader of the Ministry of Justice was slightly forced back by his imposing manner.
He didn't know what to say.
But at this time —
A voice came from outside, "The Ministry of Justice is not qualified to arrest you. But the Censorate should be qualified."
Everyone heard the voice and looked over.
It turned out to be the Censorate!
The leader was called Zhang Pingzhi, the Deputy Minister of the Censorate, a fourth-rank official.
He was also responsible for investigating the corruption of Wang Ye and his nephew. He had been investigating for many years, but there was no clue. Now that the old fox was in his hands, there was no chance for him to escape!
He sneered and stopped in front of Wang Ye, saying, "Wang Dali, long time no see."
Wang Ye had a bad feeling, "Lord Zhang? What are you doing here? "
"I was ordered to come to the Mansion."
"What's the order?"
"I was ordered to take Wang Dali to the Censorate to investigate a corruption case."
Uh!
Wang Ye seemed to be struck by lightning. His body suddenly trembled and his legs went soft. He took two steps back and stood firm. He stared at him and said, "Corruption? What nonsense are you talking about? "
Zhang Pingzhi raised his eyebrows, "Wang Dali, why do you pretend to be ignorant? I've been investigating the corruption of your uncle and his nephew for several years. If I didn't have sufficient evidence, I wouldn't have come today. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for using force. "
At this moment, Wang Ye seemed to have a premonition of his future.
He was stunned for a moment.
Finally, he was taken away by the Censorate.
The case was heard behind closed doors in the court of the Imperial Censor. The Imperial Censor, Official Li, personally presided over the hearing.
Jing Rong listened from the back and did not show himself.
Wang Ye and his nephew, as well as the owner of Exquisite Garments, Chen Youfu, were kneeling in the hall.
Wang Zhe's face was ashen.
Chen Youfu trembled.
Wang Ye was the only one who was still struggling. It was not until Shi Ziran presented the account book and the man with the mole on his lips that Chen Youfu finally confessed. He said that he was already bankrupt and that it was Wang Ye who found him and asked him to use the name of opening an embroidery shop to 'launder' the money they had earned through the means of a peddling merchant.
He was blinded by greed and immediately agreed.
Wang Ye sat on the ground.
He didn't have the strength to refute.
Everything was clear now.
The Wang Clan's uncle and nephew were completely defeated.
After the case was over, the Imperial Censor, Lord Li, ordered the three of them to be sent to prison. As for how they would be sentenced, it was not said yet.
Lord Li left the hall and went to the back to report to Jing Rong. "Prince Rong, how should we handle this case?"
Jing Rong sat there coldly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Lord Li, you should personally go to the palace and report this matter to the Emperor. Let's see how the Emperor decides."
"This is Your Highness's contribution. You should go personally."
"This Prince is not trying to claim credit."
"…"
Jing Rong stood up and took a deep breath. With a solemn expression, he ordered, "After entering the palace, ask the Emperor again. Now that Wang Dali is suspected of corruption, he will be removed from his position. Who will take over the position of the Supreme Court Chancellor?"
"Your Highness?"
"You don't need to ask too many questions. Just do as I say."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lord Li did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly wrote a report to the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace.
By the time Wei Yi received the report, his expression had already darkened.
It was barely visible.
Lord Li cupped his hands. "The evidence is conclusive. Wang Ye and Wang Zhe have already signed it."
Wei Yi tightened his grip on the report.
After a long time, he suppressed his emotions and said, "Since the Imperial Censorate has found enough evidence and they have admitted to it, then we will deal with it according to the Great Lin's laws!"
"Yes!" Lord Li thought about the question Jing Rong wanted him to ask and stuttered for a while.
"Is there anything else, Lord Li?"
"This official wants to ask, if Wang Dali is convicted, what will the Emperor do about the position of Supreme Court Chancellor?"
Ah!
Wei Yi was not stupid. A cold light flashed in his eyes. "Did Prince Rong send you to ask this?"
Lord Li froze and hurriedly said, "No, this official wants to ask this."
Hmph!
In fact, Wei Yi already understood.
He clenched his fists. He knew that if he did not follow Jing Rong's plan, there would be more troubles in the future.
He might as well —
"Pass on my decree. From today onwards, Official Yu will continue to be the Chancellor of the Supreme Court."
"As Your Majesty commands."
Lord Li hurriedly retreated.
After he left, Wei Yi clenched the memorial in his hand and threw it to the ground in a fit of rage.
"Bang!"
It was extremely loud!
Suddenly —
A pair of boots landed beside the memorial. The person who came bent down and picked it up, glancing through the contents one by one.
He seemed very satisfied!
Wei Yi sensed someone coming and quickly looked up. He saw Ji Yunshu.
"Shu 'er?"
At that moment, he suddenly stood up from the throne and quickly walked down.
He was very happy.
However, when he walked over, Ji Yunshu took a step back and bowed with cupped hands. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need to greet me!" Wei Yi quickly stepped forward and gently lifted her elbow.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu immediately withdrew her hand and took a few more steps back, putting some distance between them.
"Shu 'er …" His tone was somewhat sad.
His eyes stared straight at Ji Yunshu.
After not seeing her for a few months, she had lost weight again!
The heartache made him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to hug her and tell her how much he missed her.
Ji Yunshu expressionlessly said, "This official came here today for two matters. First, it is to deliver a file to Your Majesty."
She handed the file over.
Wei Yi took a long time to accept it.
Ji Yunshu also explained, "The file is about the murder case in the Yu Estate. The murderer is Wang Zhe, and he has already admitted to it."
Wei Yi did not look at it.
He only asked, "What about the other matter?"
"This official wants to resign." She handed over a letter of resignation. "I hope Your Majesty agrees."
"Resign?" Wei Yi was surprised.
"This official has made up my mind."
When she was writing Wang Zhe's file, she had already written her 'resignation letter'.
And she had made this decision long ago.
