The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Lord Lu received a message from Commander Zhu, informing him that the matter was settled. That was wonderful.

I knew Su Bing was stupid enough to fall for it.

No matter how powerful Miss Su is, even if she has three heads and six arms, she wouldn't have the energy to protect all her family members.

As expected, Prime Minister Feng's plan was brilliant!

Lord Lu gave Prime Minister Feng a wink, indicating that the matter had been accomplished.

Prime Minister Feng was also very pleased.

Once Su Bing is arrested and thrown in jail, let's see what that little girl will still be so arrogant about.

No matter how capable she is, she's just a fifteen-year-old girl who's just reached the age of marriage. I hope she doesn't cry when the time comes, hahaha.

Lord Lu immediately led his men to the table where Su Bing was sitting, and they immediately saw the house deed in Su Bing's hand.

Su Bing was so drunk that he fell asleep slumped over the table, still clutching the deed to the house in his hand.

"What is this?"

Lord Lu pulled out the house deed, took a look at it, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Commander Zhu, isn't this the deed to your house? Why are you using this to bribe General Su?"

Zhu Baihu had already prepared his explanation: "I... I want to ask General Su for help. I want General Su to help me get a promotion. I have been a centurion for many years. Everyone looks down on me and says that I am a centurion for life."

Feng Yuanxi realized something was wrong.

He was almost drunk just now and didn't even notice the house deed. He was so careless and let down Miss Su's trust in him.

However, it is certain that General Su was framed.

With a daughter as capable and good at making money as Miss Su, General Su would never look at such a dilapidated house contract!

Lord Lu is a lackey of his father, Prime Minister Feng, so it's likely that his father orchestrated this whole thing.

No wonder when my sister went to see our father earlier, she overheard words like "bribery".

"Commander Zhu, you're lying. You clearly gave me this deed, hoping my father would help me get a promotion. My father already agreed to accept it and told me to keep it for now. But I was a little tipsy just now and got the idea to play tricks, so I slipped the deed into the hands of the drunk General Su."

The upright and incorruptible Imperial Censor Kong was at the next table, and he particularly enjoyed the banquet.

You can enjoy Gu Ji's signature dishes without queuing, and there are ice basins everywhere under the dining tent, making it very refreshing.

He brought his grandson with him.

The child with anorexia was so thin he was skin and bones, and usually refused to eat anything at home. But today he had a great appetite and ate a huge piece of cake.

However, Imperial Censor Kong dared not let his grandson eat too much at once, since his previous loss of appetite had caused his stomach upset, and he was afraid that eating too much would harm his stomach, so he could only take it slowly.

Whether it was her elderly mother who had previously suffered heatstroke and fallen into a coma, or the anorexic grandson she was holding now, it was all thanks to Miss Su that their conditions improved, so she was naturally grateful.

Since we are grateful, we should definitely speak up for Miss Su's father.

After listening to Zhu Baihu and Feng Yuanxi's statements, he felt that Feng Yuanxi's words were more credible, so he stepped forward to analyze: "Su Bing is just a newly promoted mighty general. He has no connections in the capital. If he wants to be promoted, it would be wiser for him to ask the Prime Minister for help."

Lord Xue's plan to win people's hearts has been quite successful recently. The officials around him all expressed their agreement after listening to Imperial Censor Kong's words.

"That makes sense."

"Indeed."

"Censor Kong is right."

"Censor Kong was known for his integrity and incorruptibility; he never spoke with bias."

Imperial Censor Kong continued, "Moreover, it was Prime Minister Feng's youngest son who identified him; a biological son would never slander his father."

Prime Minister Feng was pushed over, and after hearing what Imperial Censor Kong said, he almost vomited blood.

Bullshit! Who says a biological son wouldn't slander his father? Yuanxi would do anything for Miss Su.

That damned son of a bitch has really ruined him today, by making such a blatant claim that he agreed to accept the bribe.

With so many ministers attending the banquet, even if he had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to refute them!

Feng Yuanxi had no choice. If he didn't insist that his father had agreed to accept bribes, it would definitely implicate Miss Su's father. He had no other option.

Moreover, he knew a little about his father's past bribery in the household, and the amount of silver he knew of was tens of thousands of taels.

So I didn't really wrong Dad. I'm sorry, Dad.

I hope Dad will admit and correct his mistakes soon; it's better than him going further down the wrong path.

In this situation, the worst that could happen is that he'll be dismissed from his post. But if my father continues to accept bribes while serving as prime minister, the amount of silver he receives will only increase, and he might even face execution of his entire family.

A very important person also attended the banquet today: Emperor Jing of Qi.

Emperor Qi Jing had not originally planned to come and offer his congratulations, but someone reported to him in the morning that a food called cake was on display in the plum garden. It was colorful and beautiful, and could be called the most beautiful food in the world.

So he came over out of curiosity.

While everyone else ate in the makeshift sheds, Emperor Qi Jing dined alone inside a building.

The emperor was treated differently; there were many ice buckets in the room, and two palace maids held up fans half a person's height to fan Emperor Qi Jing, making it especially cool.

Emperor Jing of Qi thought he could have a quiet meal, but he heard a commotion outside.

"Xiao Fuzi, go outside and see what's going on? Why is there such a commotion?"

Eunuch Fu went out for a short while and returned quickly, reporting, "Your Majesty, a bribery incident has occurred in public outside, involving Prime Minister Feng..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi Jing realized that the bribery at the banquet had become common knowledge, and it seemed that ignoring it was no longer an option.

Just then, Eunuch Fu mentioned that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was also dining out, so Eunuch Fu was asked to pass on an imperial edict to have the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review investigate the matter.

Emperor Qi Jing didn't want to show up in person, so he had a separate table for the banquet today. There was a big bowl of cake on the table, and this kind of fresh food was simply too delicious.

It would be a shame to leave now, since we've only eaten half the cake.

After finishing his meal, he still had to return to the palace to review official documents, so he had to make the most of every moment to enjoy the food, so as not to waste the time he had spent braving the scorching sun to attend the banquet.

When Lord Song, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, received the message from Eunuch Fu, he was quite angry. He had only taken one bite of the delicious roast goose on the table!

That Prime Minister Feng has really been causing trouble lately. Even with his leg broken, he still has so many problems.

Lord Song angrily slammed down his chopsticks and said to the old woman in charge of serving the dishes, "Go and get me some oil paper."

Lord Song led his men to escort Prime Minister Feng and Commander Zhu away. "We ask that you cooperate with us, Prime Minister, to go to the Dali Temple to clarify the matter and clear your name so that you can leave."

Prime Minister Feng was extremely frustrated. He had intended to deal with Miss Su by framing her father, but he ended up shooting himself in the foot. It was all his youngest son's fault for making baseless accusations.
