Chapter 333 333: Have you been wronged?
What's even more exasperating is that Wang Hu couldn't be found even after exhausting everyone in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

There must be someone behind it!

So the person was sent out of the capital not long after the incident.

"Heh..." Emperor Chengde looked at Cui Ye with half-closed eyes, and sneered: "Cui Aiqing is really capable."

Such an obvious sarcasm slapped Cui Ye hard on the face like a slap.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Xiang was about to speak again, but just as he opened his mouth, he received Emperor Chengde's cold gaze.

"Liu Xiang still wants to quibble for him?"

Liu Xiang opened his mouth, and finally said: "I dare not."

The emperor's words also made him realize that Cui Ye might not be easy to keep.

Liu Xiang frowned and stood back to his seat.

Since Cui Ye couldn't keep it, he had to think of a suitable candidate to take the position.

Since the emperor is going to remove Cui Ye, it can be seen that he does not want to use him on the surface, otherwise he would not lose face like this.

So who does the emperor want to use?
Also, who does Zheng Kuan belong to?Who gave Cui Ye the idea to dig such a big hole?

It's just that as soon as this idea surfaced, Liu Xiang quickly vetoed it.

Zheng Kuan's life is worthless, if it is proved to be true, even if the emperor thinks of the old man's contribution, it is impossible to spare Zheng Kuan lightly. Could it be that he was acting out of anger?

The second prince naturally felt the emperor's attitude, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Father had already suspected that Chu Jinyan was assassinated by someone, these brothers did it, he was very cautious these days, if something happened to Cui Ye again, it would be too bad for him.

Liu Xiang gave the second prince a soothing look.

Not long after, Zheng Kuan arrived.

As a son-in-law, he does not have any official position, so he was not qualified to go to court in the past. Today is the first time he stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but the reason for entering was not what he wanted.

He knelt in the hall and bowed to Emperor Chengde: "My minister sees the emperor, long live long live long live."

Although Zheng Kuan was not an official, he inherited the title of Uncle Dingyuan, so he can call himself a humble minister.

Emperor Chengde looked at him expressionlessly.

Liu Xiang snorted softly, squinted at Zheng Kuan and said, "Madam Zheng is so courageous. In order to avenge his son, he even bought the jailer to poison everyone in Ningxiang Tower. It is really cruel and heartless to disregard dozens of lives."

Zheng Kuan was so frightened that his body trembled slightly, he kowtowed heavily to Emperor Chengde, and prostrated himself on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty has learned from you, my humble servant has been wronged."

Emperor Chengde looked at Zheng Kuan with a smile that was not a smile, and a sharp look flashed in his deep pupils: "Wronged? Tell me where you were wronged."

Facing the emperor, Zheng Kuan was not as calm as usual, he was almost out of breath under the pressure of the emperor, but thinking of his own life, he hurriedly said: "I didn't bribe the jailer to give it to the people in Ningxianglou. Poisoning, although Wen Wu died in Ningxiang Tower, I hated it, but I dare not go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to kill people even if I have ten guts, not to mention the emperor ordered Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to jointly investigate and catch the murderer, so why should I take such a risk? Woolen cloth."

"It's clear that someone wants to put blame on this humble minister and ask the emperor to make decisions for this humble minister. This humble minister has been wronged."

After Zheng Kuan finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily again.

"Sophistry." Liu Xiang shouted coldly.

Zheng Kuan respected Liu Xiang, after all, he was the head of a hundred officials, but faced with Liu Xiang's aggressiveness, Zheng Kuan suddenly didn't want to respect him.

"Liu Xiang said that I was sophistry, so is there any evidence to prove that I bribed the jailer?"

"What about the person I bought?"

"Your Majesty, in order to prove my innocence, I am willing to confront you face-to-face." Zheng Kuan knelt in the center of the hall, looking mighty and unyielding.

Seeing his appearance, some people were shaken in their hearts.

"Looking at Prince Zheng's appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying. Could it be that he was really wronged?"

"It's possible. After all, with such an obvious flaw, if something happens to someone in Ningxianglou, everyone will think of him first."

"It's also possible that he deliberately exposed himself and made everyone feel that it was the most impossible thing."

"But he said he was going to confront the jailer."

"Don't forget that person disappeared. The Ministry of Criminal Justice searched all night but couldn't find him. There is no proof of death. It's just what Zheng Kuan said."

There were different opinions for a while, Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes, and said after a while: "Enough."

Heavy angry shouts sounded, and the noise in the hall suddenly quieted down, and all the officials were silent.

"Cui Ye, as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has seriously dereliction of duty and is not worthy of being an official. The Ministry of Punishment should not stay there anymore. He will be demoted to nothing. Go back and farm." The emperor looked at Cui Ye indifferently, and said.

"Your Majesty..." Cui Ye burst into tears immediately, thinking that he had worked hard for half his life, finally climbed to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and was beaten back to his original shape just like that, crying miserably.

If you don't feel the taste of repaying your power, it won't be so uncomfortable.

But falling from a high position, Cui Ye felt as if his heart had been gouged out.

"The emperor is merciful. I beg the emperor to see that I have been working hard and loyal for so many years. I beg the emperor to forgive me. I will definitely make up for it."

Cui Ye knocked his head loudly.

The emperor was unmoved.

If Cui Ye hadn't been Liu Dang, the emperor might not have kicked him up.

But the Liu party is very powerful, and the second child is close to the Liu family. If you don't cut the Liu party's power, how can the eighth child fight against it?
"You should be thankful that you have been loyal for so many years, otherwise it would be as simple as letting you return home."

How many officials of the Manchu Dynasty have nothing in their hands.

Even he himself, sitting on the throne, is also stepping on the dry bones of the ground.

But the emperor doesn't want to use you, even if it's a small mistake, he won't tolerate it.

What's more, they also asked someone to take advantage of the loopholes and go to the prison of the Criminal Ministry to poison three people to death. If you don't mess with you, who will?

Liu Xiang moved his lips, but finally remained silent.

He guessed right, the emperor didn't want to keep Cui Ye anymore.

Thinking of this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, did he want to pave the way for His Highness the Eighth Prince by taking this opportunity to get rid of Cui Ye?
Cui Ye understood what Emperor Chengde meant, and now he was just asking him to go home and farm. If he made trouble again and angered the emperor, it would be a matter of death.

With a pale face, he kowtowed his thanks to the emperor with trembling lips.

As for Zheng Kuan, there is no evidence that he poisoned, but there is also no evidence that he did not poison.

For the sake of the old uncle, Emperor Chengde only took away the title of Uncle Dingyuan from him and asked him to go to the prison in Dali Temple to think about it.

As for how long to think about, it depends on when the emperor will release him.

Lu family.

Lu Xiang just learned about what happened in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and didn't know that it was Chu Jinyan who caused the incident, so she wrote a letter to Chu Jinyan and asked Ah Man to send it to the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Chu Jinyan looked at the contents of the letter happily, and the corner of his mouth raised a curve.

"Master's Xiangxiang is really smart, and I thought of going with him."
