Below the court, Gu Jinyan was dressed in a formal and solemn court robe. He adjusted his robe and replied calmly, "Of course."
The Emperor's face darkened. He glanced at the officials below the court with his eagle-like eyes.
"Prime Minister, you must have had a good time in Chengwu Village this month. You're actually speaking up for a group of bandits!" Baili Chen, who had been silent for a long time, walked out with a fake smile.
Seeing Baili Chen walk out, the officials in the court held their breaths as they looked at the two people who were at loggerheads with each other.
Gu Jinyan's posture was gentle. He casually adjusted his sleeves and looked up at Baili Chen.
His voice was cold and distant, "I didn't speak up for them. What I said just now was the truth."
Looking at Gu Jinyan's indifferent appearance, Baili Chen narrowed his eyes angrily. He snorted coldly and said aggressively, "I heard that not long after Prime Minister arrived at Nanfu Town, he was captured by the bandits of Chengwu Village and brought to their village. After a month and a half, Prime Minister was able to return to the capital safe and sound. I'm afraid you did something unspeakable with those bandits, right? "
Baili Chen's words were aggressive and sharp. But Gu Jinyan, who was in front of him, still had an indifferent look on his face.
It was as if all his actions and words were the actions of a clown.
Baili Chen secretly gritted his teeth. It's like this again, it's like this again!
Gu Jinyan, other than using this to humiliate me, what else can you do!
"Prime Minister, are you not speaking because I exposed you and you're feeling guilty?" Baili Chen refused to let Gu Jinyan off and continued to question him.
Gu Jinyan glanced over indifferently. He adjusted his sleeves, "What does Crown Prince want me to say?"
He narrowed his long and narrow eyes. The cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye darkened, "I said that everyone in Chengwu Village was wronged. Then they are wronged! If Crown Prince doesn't believe me, you can send someone to investigate the conduct of the local officials. "
"Gu Jinyan, you …" Baili Chen's eyes narrowed. His words were extreme.
"Cough, cough, cough …" The Emperor's cough interrupted Baili Chen's words.
Baili Chen's body froze, and the anger on his face disappeared instantly. He waved his sleeves and placed his hands behind his back.
The Emperor's face darkened. "What are you all arguing about? Since the Prime Minister said that Chengwuzhai was wrongly accused, the Crown Prince didn't believe him. Then I order you to go and find out what is going on! "
As he spoke, the Emperor's eyes viciously swept over the ministers in the Imperial Court who had their heads lowered. His eyes were full of threat, "If it is found that there are officials in the capital who colluded with the County Magistrate of Nanfu Town, all of them will be thrown into prison and stripped of their official positions!"
Baili Chen paused and reluctantly accepted the imperial edict. "Your son obeys."
The emperor revealed a weary expression. He waved his hand, "Court is dismissed."
"Long live His Majesty!"
After kowtowing, the officials left.
Before he left, Baili Chen secretly glared fiercely at Gu Jinyan. Gu Jinyan's expression did not change. He rolled up his sleeves indifferently, leaving Baili Chen with a handsome side profile.
"The Prime Minister can stay. Crown Prince, you can go back first." The Emperor interrupted Baili Chen's line of sight and ordered him to leave.
Baili Chen stiffened and lowered his head. "Yes."
Everyone left. Only Gu Jinyan and the Emperor were left in the Imperial Court.
The Emperor asked indifferently, "Prime Minister, how did you get kidnapped by those bandits?"
"I was robbed and killed on the way." Gu Jinyan nodded and replied indifferently.
Hearing this, the Emperor frowned. "Those bandits didn't know that you were going to exterminate them. How could they rob and kill you on the way?"
