Buddha-like Mrs. Lin

Chapter 43

The little angels who did not subscribe enough saw an anti-theft stamp. It would return to normal after 24 hours ~

In the carriage..,

A young man with a beautiful appearance was sitting in the middle of it.

His expression was solemn,

His fingers stroked the patterns on the memorial, "Lin Ruhai, the Chancellor Hu Yao, the Third Prince..."

Who exactly was the prince behind all these schemes?

In order to deal with a small Lin Ruhai, he even dared to give up a second-rank official like the Chancellor. He did not know if this prince was too careless.

Or could it be that there was something behind this that they had not thought of?

He pulled open the curtains of the carriage window and looked at the empty street,

His expression was obscure and difficult to understand.

Soon..,

The carriage entered the Forbidden City.

The Holy Emperor brought up a few major events that he had been paying attention to during this period of time and urged the progress. After confirming that everything was progressing well, he nodded to the head eunuch beside him.

The head eunuch immediately raised his voice, "If there's something to report, the court is dismissed —"

Jia Jing hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty,

I have a memorial to report. "

The Holy Emperor looked at Jia Jing in surprise and nodded, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty,

I want to impeach the Chancellor, Hu Yao, for condoning his evil servants to forcefully occupy the land of the people and fish in the countryside,

Killing and injuring many people; his son forcefully separated the fiancé and wife, forcefully abducted a woman, injured his fiancé, and ordered the medicine shop in the city not to treat him,

Causing him to die from serious injuries... "

Jia Jing listed dozens of crimes about Hu Yao before he stopped.

The little eunuch standing at the bottom of the steps hurriedly went forward to take Jia Jing's memorial and the evidence he had collected.

He walked up the steps in a few steps and handed it over to the head eunuch.

It was not until the Emperor personally took the memorial that Jia Jing returned to his position.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jia Jing would not give up until he completely suppressed Hu Yao.

The other officials couldn't help but cast sidelong glances at him. They were curious as to how this Hu Yao had offended Jia Jing. Ever since he entered the Imperial Censor Manor, he had only participated in some trivial matters and had never offended anyone to the core.

The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes. After receiving the memorial, he opened it and asked, "Is Hu Yao here?"

Hu Yao hurriedly stepped forward. "This subject is here!"

"Do you have anything to refute Imperial Censor Jia's accusation?"

Hu Yao was drenched in cold sweat. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I, confess."

Jia Jing's eyebrows twitched. She couldn't help but look at Hu Yao, only to find that although he looked scared, deep in his eyes, there was a sense of "finally here."

It was as if Hu Yao had already anticipated that Jia Jing would report him to the Imperial Court today.

At that moment, Jia Jing had a bad premonition. He turned his head and looked at Jia Daishan, who was standing with the generals.

Jia Daishan just happened to turn his head. When he met Jia Jing's gaze, he just shook his head slightly.

Jia Jing felt relieved. He obediently lowered his head and continued to be invisible.

The Holy Emperor flipped through the memorial. The more he flipped, the angrier he became. In the end, he lost his composure and threw the memorial in front of Hu Yao. "Confess?"

Hu Yao trembled and didn't dare to say a word.

The Holy Emperor was so angry that he laughed. His gaze swept past Hu Yao and landed on the princes standing at the front. "Hu Yao said that he confesses.

My good sons, what do you think? "

The princes were alarmed. They didn't know how this matter had anything to do with them.

The Crown Prince was the first to speak. "This subject thinks that Hu Yao's son has committed a heinous crime. According to the law, he should be beheaded. The Lord Hu has failed to discipline him. He should be exiled!"

The other princes didn't dare to offend the Holy Emperor and quickly agreed.

The Holy Emperor said indifferently, "Oh?

His son should be beheaded. Hu Yao should be exiled?

Do you all think so? "He singled out the Third Prince." Third Prince, do you also think so? "

The Third Prince's heart skipped a beat. "This subject agrees!"

"Heh!"

The Holy Emperor sneered. His expression was dignified. "Pick up Imperial Censor Jia's memorial and take a look."

The Third Prince became more and more worried. However, he didn't dare to disobey the Holy Emperor. He could only walk in front of Hu Yao and bend down to pick up the memorial.

He stood in place and opened the memorial. However, in a moment, the Third Prince knelt down beside Hu Yao in a panic. "Imperial Father, this memorial says that Liu Hu helped Hu Yao's son commit evil and reaped benefits from it. This subject didn't know about this beforehand!"

Liu Hu's father hurriedly stepped forward. "Your Majesty, there must be an inside story. My son couldn't have done such a heinous thing."

The other princes looked at each other in dismay. They didn't dare to believe the Third Prince's words.

Liu Hu was the only son of the Third Prince's maternal grandfather. Because of his ability, he controlled most of the power of the Third Prince's maternal family.

If he was really involved in Hu Yao's matter, he wouldn't be able to get anything good out of it. This would be very detrimental to the Third Prince's future plans.

Only the Eldest Prince, who was standing next to the Crown Prince, frowned. He seemed to be very puzzled.

However, this wasn't worth much consideration. In any case, the Third Prince had his eyes on the chair under his imperial father's butt. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to cut off part of his power, it would also be beneficial to him.

Thinking of this, he tilted his head to look in the direction of the minister on the other side and nodded.

Not long after, another imperial censor stood up from behind Jia Jing. "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject also has a report regarding Lord Hu's crimes."

The Holy Emperor's expression became more and more unfathomable. "Bring it up!"

The imperial censor originally opened his mouth to speak, but after hearing this, he could only hand the memorial to the eunuch and then retreat.

The Holy Emperor flipped open the memorial. He was too lazy to say anything more. He straightforwardly and neatly ordered, "Drag Hu Yao down and behead him!

Have the Supreme Court strictly investigate Liu Hu. If the evidence is conclusive, act according to the law. "

Act according to the law?

If the evidence was found, was the Emperor really going to behead Liu Hu?

The entire court was shocked.

More than an hour after the court adjourned, the Supreme Court finally released the news. It turned out that Hu Yao had actually stretched his hands into the Jiangnan salt policy. In just two short years, he had madly seized hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. And most of this money had been sent to Liu Hu's hands.

If Hu Yao had been beheaded, how could Liu Hu get away with it?

If it weren't for the Third Prince's face, the Emperor would probably have ordered him to be beheaded during the court session today.

At night, Jia Jing came to Rongguo Province with a belly full of doubts. "Second Uncle, today's matter …"

"We were used as tools." Jia Daishan's face was ashen.

Jia Jing was startled. "Who was it?"

Jia Daishan shook his head. "I don't know who it was for the time being.

That Hu Yao's son had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. He kidnapped a civilian girl and actually managed to kidnap a subordinate of the First Prince. "

Jia Jing was at a loss for a moment, then immediately reacted. "That fiancé who died of illness?"

"He was the son of the First Prince's trusted aide. Because his father failed in the imperial examinations, he didn't have an official position.

That Liu Hu took a fancy to his daughter-in-law. Seeing that his family had no power and influence, he decided to kidnap a civilian girl. "

"In order to appease that aide, the First Prince had no choice but to avenge him and send Liu Hu's family to prison."

After thinking carefully, Jia Jing had another guess. "Was there someone else behind this?"

Jia Daishan shook his head and sighed. "I don't know …"

Jia Jing pursed his lips. "Second Uncle, you should have received the news before I submitted the memorial, right?

Why did you rush to act when you knew that we were being used as tools to deal with the Third Prince? "

"Because we had no choice."

Jia Daishan raised his head and looked in the direction of the Forbidden City. "It's true that Ruhai was schemed against by Hu Yao. If we don't punish him as an example to others, we will be in trouble in the future.

Besides, we belong to the Crown Prince's camp and are enemies with the other princes. It's necessary to deal with the Third Prince and the other princes. "

But as long as they didn't know who was behind all this, they couldn't feel at ease.

It was easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Moreover, this hidden arrow was laced with poison, and the person who shot it was even more clever.

"But won't people think that we are working with the First Prince?"

"I have already explained to the Crown Prince in advance."

"Is Hu Yao really the Third Prince's subordinate?"

"Even if he was before, he definitely isn't after offending the First Prince.

The Third Prince is a very petty and cowardly person … "

Miss Si and Tanhua Lin went through the process of receiving gifts and asking for names in the Six Rites. But after the bride was replaced by Jia Su, they definitely had to go through the process of the Three Books and Six Rites again.

The Three Books were the letter of appointment for the timing, the letter of acceptance for the gifts, and the letter of greeting for the bride when she was married.

The Six Rites were the six steps of receiving gifts: receiving gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting gifts, inviting dates, and greeting.

Receiving gifts was the proposal of marriage. After the man took a fancy to the woman, he asked a matchmaker to be the matchmaker. If the woman agreed, she would accept the engagement gift from the man, which was usually a wild goose.

Asking for names was the matching of the eight characters of birth. After the proposal was successful, the man asked the woman's name and time of birth to divine whether the eight characters of birth matched.

If the eight characters of birth matched, the man would ask the matchmaker to bring a gift to the woman and inform the woman that the marriage could go on.

That was the so-called "passing of marriage" or "passing of marriage".

After that, there was also the "passing of marriage", which was the formal presentation of the letter of appointment and the betrothal gifts, including the gifts of the man and the woman.

After the betrothal gifts, the man would divine the auspicious date of the wedding and ask the matchmaker to bring a letter of invitation to the woman's house. He would inform the woman of the date and ask for her opinion.

If the woman agreed, then the wedding could be prepared.

Only after receiving gifts would the marriage be considered to be in the open.

After the passing of marriage, the marriage would be considered to be set and there would be no more changes.

Previously, the marriage between Jia Min and Lin Ruhai only went to the stage of asking for names. Later on, there was a change in the marriage. The two families only needed to announce that the two characters of birth did not match, and the marriage was easily canceled.

Regardless of whether other people believed it or not, at least the two's reputation was not damaged.
