Chapter 1,107 Meng Yunzheng: I’ve Given You the Clue

Of course the emperor knew that this amount of money was quite large, but when it came to the huge amount, it was still a bit small.

This Meng Yunzheng still didn't know enough. If Gongqiu still had to use such evidence in the past, the emperor might have asked him to make up for it, and he would have passed it by turning a blind eye.

As for forming a party for personal gain, such a small scope has not yet touched his bottom line.

Such evidence is not enough to bring down Gong Qiu.

That is to say, the emperor can no longer tolerate Gong Qiu, so he hopes that the bigger the evidence against him, the better. It is best to find evidence that he colluded with the second prince. That way he could deal with both of them at the same time.

Therefore, the emperor interrupted Meng Yunzheng before he finished speaking, "Besides these two pieces of evidence, did you see anything else in the secret room?"

Meng Yuncheng frowned, looking a little nervous. He recalled it carefully, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said eagerly, "Yes, there seems to be a big box in the secret room, which was locked. It was just that the common people were in a hurry at that time. I was busy, and the guards outside came back again. The box was too big to take out. The grassroots thought that this account book was enough to prove Gong Qiu's crime, so they quickly took it out to complain to the emperor."

The implication is that he doesn't know anything.

Apart from the account books, he didn't know about Gong Qiu's private meeting with Concubine Liu, or about Gong Qiu's collusion with the second prince, nor did he know who Gong Qiu had harmed, or what earth-shattering deeds he had done.

But Your Majesty, you can investigate it yourself. The secret room is there, and the evidence... is also there.

As expected, the emperor pondered for a moment and called Xi Ping over to give some instructions.

Xi Ping nodded and went out.

The emperor and Meng Yuncheng were the only two people left in the royal study. Meng Yuncheng asked nervously, "Your Majesty, Gongqiu's crimes are so heinous and he has committed corruption and perverted the law. Will he be sentenced to death?"

"What if I say, no?"

"How could it be? Then I can't avenge my mother, I..." Meng Yunzheng's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground in a daze. The next moment he stood up again, "Your Majesty, that commoner will go back to find evidence now, Gongqiu Having done so much evil, there must still be a lot of evidence that has not been found, so the common people will go now."

The emperor waved his hand, "Okay, I know this matter well. I will handle Gongqiu's affairs, and I will take what you say to heart."

"Many, thank you, Your Majesty."

"You will stay in the palace for the time being. If anything else happens, I will summon you at any time."

Meng Yuncheng nodded respectfully, "Yes."

The emperor waved his hand, and someone came over to take Meng Yunzheng away.

At the same time, the Gong family, which was already in a hurry, suddenly broke into many forbidden troops and went straight to Gong Qiu's study.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. The leader of the forbidden army drew out a knife and forced him back. "The Grand Duke of the Gong family, Gong Xiao, sued Gong Qiu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, for corruption, perverting the law, and forming a clique for personal gain. Your Majesty ordered us to find out the truth and lead Mr. Gong." Come into the palace."

The butler's expression changed drastically, the eldest young master... sued the master? ?

How can this be?

However, before he could ask any more questions, the leader of the imperial army waved his hand and ordered everyone in the Gong family to be guarded, while he quickly led the people to Gong Qiu's study.

When Mrs. Gong rushed over, holding on to her sick body, the secret room in the study had been found and opened.

The leader of the Forbidden Army and his men rummaged through everything in the secret room, and naturally saw the big box.

Madam Gong made a fuss to go in, but was frightened by the knife held by the imperial guards, and she did not dare to speak for a moment.
