I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 8 Why do you lose things so often?

Two quarters of an hour later, Jinwu Guard Commander Lu Fei led two teams of Jinwu Guards and broke into Wen Mansion and Meng Mansion respectively.

Wen Ji, the second son of Minister Wen, was caught by two Jinwu Guards. He shouted at Lu Fei, "Lu Fei, you bastard! You are blind! You dare to bring people to trespass into my Wen Mansion and arrest me. My father will never let you go!"

Minister Wen rushed over, and when he heard his son threatening Lu Fei, he wanted to slap him!
Lu Fei is His Majesty's confidant, how could this kid scold him?

"Shut up!"

After hearing Shangshu scold his son, he bowed to Lu Fei and said, "Lord Lu, you came here so late at night. I wonder what my son has done wrong?"

Lu Fei returned the salute and said expressionlessly, "Your Excellency rode your horse in the street and injured two people. Is your Excellency not aware of this?"

Wen Shangshu choked. Didn't he clean up the mess? How could Lu Fei know about it?
"Lord Lu, my mother suddenly fainted that day, and Ji'er was worried about his grandmother, so he rushed back in a hurry. He did ride a little faster, but he didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"After accidentally injuring someone, Ji Er was very upset. He immediately ordered people to send the injured person to the clinic for treatment and also sent money to the injured person's family as compensation. He has already felt remorseful."

"Lord Lu is also a well-known filial son in the capital. Lord Lu, please forgive him this time for the sake of my filial piety and my concern for my grandmother."

"Sir, I am here under orders." Lu Fei refused to listen to the explanation and kept a straight face. "Please don't embarrass me, Sir."

As the commander of the Jinwu Guard, whose orders could Lu Fei obey other than the emperor's?
Minister Wen's face suddenly looked uglier than if he had swallowed a fly. He did not dare to stop him anymore and watched Lu Fei take his son away.

"Master, where is Ji'er?" Madam Wen came hurriedly, fully dressed, but she didn't even see the shadow of the Jinwu Guards, nor did she see her beloved son.

"Let the Jinwu Guards take him away."

Madam Wen was anxious: "Master, how could you let Ji'er be taken away by the Jinwu Guards? What if they torture Ji'er?"

"How dare you say that!" Wen Shangshu glared at him. "If you hadn't spoiled him and made him ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, how could he have ridden his horse in the street and injured someone just to compete with someone for an Oiran?"

Madam Wen said with an embarrassed expression: "I just feel sorry for my son. When Ji'er comes back, I will discipline him strictly and will not let him cause any more trouble. Master, you better rescue Ji'er as soon as possible!"

"What are you saving? His Majesty issued the order himself. Do you want the Wen family to be charged with disobeying the order?"

How dare Madam Wen?

Minister Wen said coldly: "No one will die anyway. At most he will be beaten with a few sticks and locked up in jail for two months. It will teach that kid a lesson."

The old housekeeper stole a glance at his master's bare foot and thought to himself, "That's not what you just said. Who is the one who came to stop him when even one of his shoes is missing?"
"But life in prison is tough, how can Ji'er endure it?" Mrs. Wen still felt sorry for her son.

How can you not feel sorry for the flesh that falls off your body?

"You have to bear it even if you can't stand it!" Minister Wen got angry when he saw Madam Wen like this.

In the past, the wife was a clear-headed person, and was good at managing the household and raising children, but she always spoiled this hard-earned second son and could not bear to criticize him. In the end, she spoiled him and turned him into a lawless second-generation rich kid.

I have to deal with my youngest son myself, and my wife always stopped and protected him. Now I'm going to let that kid stay in jail, so that he can suffer a little and learn his lesson.

"Don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it myself."

Having said that, Minister Wen still sent someone to Shuntian Prefecture to say hello.

After the old butler took the order and left, Shangshu Wen cursed inwardly: Xie Hui, you'd better not fall into my hands!

Xie Hui was the commander of the Jinyiwei, responsible for supervising all officials. Apparently, Wen Shangshu thought that the incident of Wen Ji riding a horse in the street was reported to Emperor Shunguang by Commander Xie. At the same time, the second master of the Meng Mansion was also arrested by the Jinwuwei for robbing a woman, and was beaten with thirty boards and imprisoned in Shuntian Prefecture.

Minister Meng also quickly ordered people to go to Shuntian Prefecture to say hello, while cursing in his heart: Xie Hui, you'd better not fall into my hands!

The Shuntian prefect, who was woken up twice in a row and couldn't sleep, cursed in his heart: Xie Hui, you troublemaker!

Commander Xie, who saw three huge pots falling from the sky, shuddered in his sleep and silently wrapped himself in a quilt like a silkworm.

It’s really cold in late autumn. I’ll have to ask someone to put an extra thick quilt on the bed tomorrow.

Inside the palace.

"Miss, it's done." Xiao Xiazi ran over to meet Chu Liuzheng, unable to hide her excitement, "Yuehong heard the news and ran back to Huaqing Palace to report. With the ability of the Imperial Concubine, the real murderer should be found out soon."

"It's good that it's done." Chu Liuzheng exhaled lightly and handed Xiao Xiazi a purse. "This matter will probably not have a result until tomorrow. There are ten taels of silver in the purse. Take it and go to the Ministry of Punishment to make some arrangements."

At the critical moment, Xiao Xia Zi did not bother to be polite with Chu Liuzheng. The most important thing was to save the person first.

He put his purse in his pocket and was about to leave, but Chu Liuzheng suddenly reached out and pulled him, and the two of them hid back in the dark.

Not far away, Zhou Yuande ran past hurriedly with a team of guards.

This direction... Chu Liuzheng recalled the layout of the harem in his mind, and the most likely possibility was to go to Concubine Yun's Yaohua Palace.

Why was Zhou Yuande leading his guards to Yaohua Palace late at night instead of serving the tyrant?
Chu Liuzheng immediately opened the system and searched for the latest gossip.

He quickly skipped over unimportant news like the second son of the Minister of Personnel being arrested, the younger brother of the Minister of Revenue being jailed for raping a woman, and kept flipping through the pages.

[Emperor Shunguang accidentally lost his jade pendant and ordered Zhou Yuande to lead people to look for it. Finally, it was found in the cabinet of a palace maid named Xiulan in Huaqing Palace, along with half a bottle of oleander juice.]

[After questioning, the maid claimed that she was instructed by Concubine Yun to secretly mix a few drops of oleander juice into the Concubine's beauty cream while she was bathing.]

[Emperor Shunguang was furious and stripped Concubine Yun of her title, demoted her to the rank of Wanyi, a fourth-rank official, and ordered her to move out of the main hall of Yaohua Palace and move to the rear hall, Huayin Hall, to copy scriptures and reflect on herself.]

[Frog fun! The tyrant unexpectedly did a good thing by accident. The jade pendant was lost just in time! ]

Chu Liuzheng wanted to applaud the tyrant, so why was he so good at throwing things?
The matter has now been brought to the attention of the tyrant. Even if it is for the sake of her image in the tyrant's heart, the imperial concubine will let Qiao Ru go, and maybe even give her some gifts to appease her.

"Xia Zi, let's go to the Ministry of Punishment to pick up Qiao Ru."

"Ah?" Xiao Xiazi was confused. "Won't the results be known tomorrow?"

"It's right to listen to me." Chu Liuzheng pulled him towards the Ministry of Punishment.

At the same time, Zhou Yuande and a group of guards came to Yaohua Palace and knocked on the door.

Concubine Yun thought that Emperor Shunguang had arrived, so she looked at herself in the mirror and made sure that her makeup was appropriate before she took the hand of a palace maid and gracefully went out to greet him.

Not seeing the figure that Emperor Shunguang had been thinking about, Concubine Yun's smile froze, and she looked at Zhou Yuande with a pair of watery eyes in confusion: "Eunuch Zhou, where is His Majesty?"

Zhou Yuande didn't answer, but raised his hand and waved it back: "Bring it up."
