Chapter 139 This Changzhou prefect is not a human being!
Something happened last night, and General Hua Rong sent someone to report the incident. His wife fainted on the spot.
He didn't wake up until today when he went to court.
The person sent by General Hua also specially checked his wife to make sure whether she had been replaced.
The Minister of Rites almost thought he was going to die!
this is too scary!
"Your Majesty, I have only just learned of this matter. I am loyal only to Your Majesty and to Dayong. I beg Your Majesty to understand this matter!"
[I'm so scared! If you have a problem, how can you still enter the palace? ]
The Emperor: "My dear minister, you are also a victim. I have learned of this matter. I beg your Madam to accept my condolences!"
The Minister of Rites said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates are so ambitious and have committed such a heinous crime. I implore Your Majesty to swiftly defeat them!"
The emperor frowned. The Minister of Rites' family had suffered so much, he felt embarrassed to punish them again!
Long Xianxian looked at the other kneeling people again.
I didn't expect that these Japanese pirates were so omnipresent.
[That brothel was incredibly lively yesterday. Besides the Grand Tutor's son, there were many other people there enjoying themselves. Oh, why is my brother there too?]
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards the prince.
The princes suddenly became nervous.
Which prince has gone?
The emperor angrily slammed the dragon throne, and suddenly one of the princes knelt down.
"Father, I was just there for a feast. I never thought it was a den of thieves!"
The one who stood up was the Sixth Prince.
He was really unlucky. He had failed to win the prince's wife at the Lotus Banquet, and now he was very depressed seeing that his grown-up brothers were all taken.
He just wanted to have some fun with the brothel, but he never expected that as soon as he arrived at the brothel, he would be surrounded by Hua Rong and his men.
He is so unlucky!
"Sixth brother, why are you going to a brothel so late at night? Why didn't the other brothers go with you?"
This is somewhat ironic!
The Sixth Prince wanted to cry but had no tears. They all had wives, so how could they have time to accompany him?
The Emperor said: "What kind of person is a prince who is ignorant and spends his days drinking and feasting in brothels? I have been too lenient with you, allowing you to disgrace yourself like this!"
The Sixth Prince was trembling!
"Father, I just left yesterday and didn't..."
The emperor was furious: "What else do you want to do?"
The Sixth Prince muttered, "Isn't it just a feast? Besides, I wasn't the only one at the brothel yesterday. The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy and some scholars were there too. And then there's that Minister of Revenue, Lord Li. He wants to take a few concubines back home!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were being muttered by the Sixth Prince also knelt down.
The emperor was speechless!
All the officials in the court...
"You bastards! You all have no ambition and only care about having fun. If the thieves don't go after you, who else will they go after?"
The emperor was furious, and all the ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
The Emperor: "All officials found guilty in the brothel yesterday will be demoted one rank and fined three years' salary!"
The emperor still felt this was not enough and continued, "Also, from now on, officials from Dayong are not allowed to enter or leave places of entertainment. Censors, please remember this!"
On weekdays, these censors never report serious matters, but spend all day discussing trivial matters.
Those who were punished breathed a sigh of relief: "I obey your order!"
"What Father said makes perfect sense. We should eliminate it at the source. Otherwise, it will be like what happened to the Changzhou prefect, whose concubine forced his wife to death and brought unrest to the family!"
The prefect of Changzhou?
Everyone remembered that this was the Minister of Works who had just been demoted.
how?
It seems that his second wife was brought back from a brothel. Not long after, after his wife died, he made this concubine his principal wife.
[Thank goodness Sister Hua got there just in time yesterday, otherwise my little sister would have been bullied by that spy again. So angry! I thought the Changzhou prefect had been punished by the emperor and divorced his wife, but he was fooled by that spy and didn't divorce her.]
Thanks to my father's imperial decree, his eldest daughter inherited her mother's mansion. Originally, the spy arrogantly wanted to kick her out, but Xu Qianwen was conferred the title of County Lord and even asked her father to divorce her deceased mother. Back then, this mansion belonged to her mother, so Xu Qianwen simply kicked him out.
This spy was acting like a shrew, cursing at the door. The Changzhou prefect was so angry that he threatened to sever all ties with her and even brought people to tear down the mansion in the middle of the night. By then, the Prince of Zhennan had already gone home and no one stood up for the young lady. He was nearly beaten by the Changzhou prefect.
Fortunately, Sister Hua arrived at this moment and beheaded the spy. The idiot Changzhou prefect then realized that his wife was actually a spy sent by the Japanese pirates. He was completely horrified!
Everyone was stunned. They really didn't expect this.
The Changzhou prefect is so cruel. After all, Xu Qianwen is his own daughter!
People who favor their concubines and kill their wives are so cruel and stupid!
The nine-tailed fox came to the emperor, wagging its tail.
"Great Immortal, this is all thanks to me. I was passing by the Xu residence at the time, and luckily I heard it, so I took Hua Rong with me."
[If it weren't for me, the Prince of Zhennan would probably never be able to find a wife!]
When the Prince of Zhennan heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that so many things had happened in the Xu family.
His Majesty did this undoubtedly so that his son could have a good outcome with the eldest daughter of the Xu family, so he drove out the Changzhou prefect.
But I didn’t expect that the Changzhou prefect was such a dishonest person!
Hua Rong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday I discovered at the Changzhou prefect's residence that his wife was also a Japanese. I have already beheaded her, but the Changzhou prefect didn't know right from wrong and actually attacked me as well. I believe he is a traitor!"
Long Xianxian screamed a few times.
"Father, Sister Hua is right. This Changzhou prefect must have been brainwashed by his wife. He's quitting his job now. I've always said that the punishment you gave him was too lenient!"
The emperor was furious: "How dare you collaborate with the enemy and betray your country! Arrest this Changzhou prefect, throw him in jail, and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation!"
The Minister of Justice stood up and said, "Yes, I obey your command!"
Then, the emperor looked at Hua Rong again and said, "These Japanese spies have been lingering in Dayong for a long time. Although they have been eliminated in the capital, I am afraid that other places are not safe either."
Then the emperor looked at Hua Rong.
"General Hua Rong, you will leave the capital tomorrow and make sure to find all of Japan's spies within Dayong. I grant you the privilege of executing those who disobey me first and reporting to me later. We must eradicate them completely!"
Hua Rong: "I obey your orders!"
But Hua Rong looked at the fox at the emperor's feet and said, "I have a humble request. Could you please let Master Linghu come with us? It's all thanks to Master Linghu that we were able to find these spies in the capital this time!"
Tu Shanjin wagged his tail, feeling very proud!
[Let me tell you, Dayong can't live without this fox fairy! ]
When Long Xianxian heard this, she was very angry.
