Chapter 191



191 Bringing the girl and the aunt to see the new house (1)

Minister sun arrived at the Imperial study. There were only three people in the spacious and luxurious space. They were Emperor Yuan jing, who sat on the throne.Chief advisor Wang was a cunning man, and da Qing Yi was a man with slightly frosty sideburns.

The Minister looked at the chief advisor out of habit and found that the other party’s face was serious and his eyes were deep. This made Minister sun, who had thought that it was just an ordinary small court meeting, stunned.

What was Wei Yuan up to again … He immediately turned his head to look at da Qingyi, but this highly intelligent great eunuch had a gentle temperament, deep and restrained, so no one could see through his inner thoughts.

Minister sun had a bad premonition. After bowing, he silently stood in his own position.

As time passed, the ministers arrived one after another and bowed to the Emperor. Emperor Yuan jing was resting with his eyes closed the whole time until he heard the voice of the Minister of Works.

Emperor Yuan jing opened his eyes and looked down at the officials. Those who could attend the small court meeting were all big shots. Ordinary high officials were not qualified.

“Minister Wei, tell the ministers.”

“Last night, the night watchman found a private house in the inner city where prostitutes and prostitutes were kept. The women were from good families, and the young men were from ordinary families. They were captured by human traffickers and locked up here, forced to serve the guests who came to the house at night to get drunk …”

“Last night, the night watchman moved out like a Thunderbolt and surrounded this nest of thieves. He caught thirteen whoremasters, ten of whom have official positions, and three of whom are giant merchants in the capital. In addition, the night watchman fished out forty skeletons from the well in the backyard, all of which were from good families who had been slaughtered.”

Wei Yuan’s words stirred up a huge storm in the Imperial study. The ministers began to discuss loudly, ignoring the rules of silence.

Human trafficking, prostitution, power and sex trade … Any one of them could cause the officials involved to be consigned to eternal damnation, especially during the capital investigation period.

But before Wei Yuan could finish his sentence, he revealed another piece of shocking news, “”According to our investigation, the owner of the private house is related to the Magi of the witch God religion. The ghost raising incantation carved in the well is the evidence. The owner of the private mansion confessed that he worked for Minister Liu from the Ministry of Works. That private house is used as a place to seek pleasure and form gangs, and it is also a secret stronghold to contact the witch God sect. ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

If they had maintained a certain image just now, they had become a wet market now. Some people berated Wei Yuan for biting and slandering, while others suggested beheading him.

The eunuch standing beside Emperor Yuan jing shouted for him to be quiet three times, but he still could not suppress the chaotic scene.

Forming cliques for personal gain, trafficking people, and forcing women into prostitution were all within the scope of illegal crimes. However, it was a different story if he colluded with the witchcraft cult. This was treason.

According to the law, those who collude with the enemy and rebel against the country are considered barbarians.

“Pa!” Emperor Yuan jing slammed the table, and the Imperial study instantly fell silent. His sharp eyes swept across the officials and landed on the first assistant Minister, Wang zhenwen.

“What do you think, Minister Wang?”

“This matter should be thoroughly investigated,” the chief advisor stepped out and said in a deep voice.

This sounded like an attempt to smooth things over, but Minister sun could sense that his elder brother was biased towards Wei Yuan. He immediately understood his elder brother’s intentions.

If it was the Minister of Works, he would at most do Wei Yuan a favor and embarrass him.

If they were on Wei Yuan’s side, the Minister of Works would be finished once the truth was out. The Qi party had lost a leader.

In the Sang Bo case, the king’s party had tried to frame the Minister of Works and deal a heavy blow to the Qi party. Although he had failed, this was indeed an opportunity.

“Where is the criminal?” Emperor Yuan jing looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan shook his head and sighed. the criminal was killed by a spell last night. The dead can’t testify.

Emperor Yuan jing frowned.

The Imperial study fell into a dead silence. The officials looked at Wei Yuan with strange eyes, as if to say, “If you don’t have a picture, then tell me.

The head assistant Wang zhenwen, who was a master at maintaining his composure, turned to look at Wei Yuan with a frown.

The corners of the Minister of Works ‘mouth curled up. He sneered and stepped out of the ranks, shouting, “”Your Majesty, I’m innocent. Wei Yuan is slandering me. Your Majesty, please seek justice.”

“What do you have to say, Wei Yuan?” Emperor Yuan jing asked with a dark expression.

“Your Majesty, please summon the gong, Xu Qi ‘an,” Wei Yuan said calmly.

Xu Qi ‘an, the gong … Hearing this name, the officials ‘faces immediately became strange. Because of the incident with Zhou chixiong, summoning Xu Qi ‘an at this time made the officials realize that there was still a follow-up to the matter. Wei Yuan had a hidden card.

The members of the Royal party, in particular, were slightly irritated by the words ” summon Xu Qi ‘an “.

The Minister of Works ‘expression changed slightly, but he quickly hid his emotions and remained calm.

Emperor yuanjing was silent for a few seconds before he said,”yes.”

More than ten minutes later, Xu Qi ‘an, who was wearing a black robe, a Gong, and a cloak, entered the Imperial study. The black gold long knife hanging on his waist was confiscated.

Yan Caiwei and the two white-robed men from the Directorate of Celestials were also with them.

“Your Majesty.” Xu Qi ‘an bowed.

Emperor Yuan jing looked at the small gong indifferently. “Report your findings to His Majesty,” Wei Yuan turned his head and smiled.

Xu Qi ‘an immediately planned to use the silver awarded by the Emperor to buy a real estate. In the end, he found a haunted house, and then through empathy, he found that private house … He said it all out.

The more the Minister of Works heard, the uglier his expression became, and his heart slowly sank.

The person had already been killed, and the night watchman had clearly been extremely angry about this … ‘They don’t have any evidence, so they want to Bluff me …’ The Minister of Works calmed himself down and sneered in his heart.

I’ve been in office for half my life and have experienced so many ups and downs. This little trick, heh.

After Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking, he saw that Emperor Yuan jing was unmoved and expressionless. “The female ghost was kept in the feng shui compass of the Directorate of Celestials, miss Caiwei. If your Majesty wishes to verify it, you can choose someone you trust to empathize with the female ghost,” he added.

After saying that, he thought darkly in his heart,’I must find a man to empathize with.

Emperor Yuan jing pondered for a moment and looked at the eunuch beside him. If he were to ask who he trusted the most at the scene, it would naturally be this big companion who had served him since he was a child.

“I’m willing to die for Your Majesty.” The head eunuch bowed.

“Eunuch Liu, don’t panic. It’s not a big deal.” Xu Qi ‘an saw that the eunuch was a little frightened and thought that he did not know what empathy was, so he comforted him.

But don’t worry, it’s just like watching a movie. There are no specific feelings.

Xu Qi ‘an felt that this was a gift for the eunuchs.

Yan Caiwei took out the feng shui compass and walked in front of the head eunuch. The compass emitted a clear light and the Tai Chi fish spun, shooting out a black mist.

She gently moved the black mist between the head eunuch’s eyebrows. The latter subconsciously leaned back, trying to avoid it. In the next moment, the black mist invaded the other party’s primordial spirit.

Li Caiwei’s Jade-like finger pointed between his eyebrows, helping him to merge with the female ghost. Otherwise, with the strength of the great eunuch’s primordial spirit, he might be assimilated by the vengeful spirit and not be able to tell who he was.

Emperor Yuan jing and the other officials in the study were observing the chief eunuch. They saw his face turn from fear to ferocity, from despair to pain.

The process lasted for 15 minutes before Yan Caiwei withdrew her Jade-like fingers and the black mist. She then kept the feng shui compass.

The head eunuch opened his eyes and knelt on the ground, crying, “”Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must seek justice for this servant …”

As he cried, he suddenly realized that he was a man, at least in the past. The things he experienced just now were the memories of the female ghost and not him.

After realizing this, the chief eunuch wiped his tears away. His expression gradually returned to normal, but his tone was still sorrowful.”Your Majesty, this servant has seen everything.”

“Speak,” Emperor Yuan jing nodded.

He then looked at the three white-robed Directorate of Celestials, including Yan Caiwei. Seeing the clear air flowing in their eyes, he turned his gaze back to the head eunuch.

“This servant saw that she was taken away and sent to the capital. She was forced to serve the customers who bought sex every day … No, the customers don’t pay.”

The officials looked at each other. It seemed like Wei Yuan was right. This was a private house where people abducted innocent people and forced them into prostitution.

later on, she served a guest named tamraha and was appreciated by him. She became his lover.

Tamraha … This was the name of an alien.

Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes and glanced at the Minister of Works. He nodded and said, “”What happened after that?”

one night, she accidentally eavesdropped on a secret conversation and heard the words ‘cannon’ and ‘equipment’. She was brutally killed and her corpse was thrown into a well. This servant saw that the person who had a secret conversation with Tamula …”

At this point, the head eunuch turned his head and pointed at the Minister of Works. In a sharp voice, he said, “”It’s Minister Liu,”

Emperor Yuan jing’s face turned livid.

The Imperial study was in an uproar. The wind changed quickly, and the officials turned their Spears to attack the Minister of Works. Among them, the Supreme Court’s official reacted strongly, speaking with emotion and criticizing Minister Liu for not being a son.

In the midst of the condemnation, the Minister of Works ‘face was ashen, like a lifeless puppet.

…..

After leaving the palace, Xu Qi ‘an rode alongside Wei Yuan’s carriage.

Duke Wei, the Minister of Works is one of the leaders of the Qi party. If we can pull him into our hands, we can uproot the Qi party. Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.

Wei Yuan laughed in the carriage, ” now is not the time to remove the Qi party. Without the Qi party, the biggest beneficiary is not us.

Xu Qi ‘an, who was a silver-level politician, didn’t dwell on this topic. Instead, he asked, “”Can I be considered to have atoned for my crimes?”

“The Ministry of Justice won’t arrest you anymore,” Wei Yuan replied.”As for the rest of the night watchmen, it’s up to His Majesty.” Later, I will hand a Memorial to the palace.”

Well, let Wei Yuan handle these things … ‘I should be able to advance to silver Gong …’ I’ll go home first and comfort second uncle and aunt.

Xu Qi ‘an immediately asked for leave. After bidding Wei Yuan farewell, he patted the little mare’s butt and rushed out of the city.

Second uncle was on duty and was not in the manor. There were only his aunt and two younger sisters at home.

Her aunt was sitting on a chair in the front hall, drinking tea and eating snacks. From time to time, she would feed little bean, who was playing with wooden toys.

She was wearing a dark green silk dress, her hair was tied up high with a beautiful golden hairpin, and her beautiful face was covered in exquisite makeup.

Seeing that her unlucky nephew had returned, the aunt’s expression changed slightly. She lowered her voice and said hurriedly, ”

“What are you doing back here? your second uncle said that the Ministry of Justice’s spies are all around. Get lost.”

“Big pot, big pot …” Xu lingying came up to him happily and braked in front of him. His small body swayed, and he raised his palm-sized face.

“Did you bring back any good food?”

“No, I didn’t,”

Xu Qi ‘an coldly shattered her younger sister’s expectations.

“Oh,”

Xu lingying was also a realistic girl. She immediately abandoned her big brother, shook her little butt, and went to play by herself.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t want to talk to her aunt. He walked to the table and reached out for the cake, but the beautiful woman slapped it away and glared at him.”I’m talking to you.”

the matter has been settled, ” Xu Qi ‘an said nonchalantly. I came back to inform you.

Hearing that the matter had been settled, the aunt’s face revealed a smile, but she quickly retracted it and reproached, ” you only know how to cause trouble all day. Can’t you just let our family live like Duan ansheng? ”

Since the beginning of the tax and silver case, the incident had not subsided, and it would happen every three to five days. Her aunt had been worried and scared at the beginning, but now she had gotten used to it.

This was not a good thing.

Xu Qi ‘an ignored his aunt and said, “”I’ve already chosen a house. I want to bring lingyue and lingying to take a look. Auntie, do you want to come?”

When she heard that she had chosen a residence, her beautiful eyes brightened and she said reservedly, “”I’m fine anyway, so I’ll go with you to take a look.”
