The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 304: The Green Tea Bitch and the Powerful Regent (4)

That night, candles were lit all night long in countless homes in the capital.

After all, the property of the Minister of Revenue was confiscated, and no one knows how many officials will be implicated.

The candles in the Yan residence were lit all night long. In the main courtyard, the eldest young lady's wife cried, "Father-in-law, what should we do? Zebang has been taken away. Will they torture him?"

Although the eldest son of the Yan family was only a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, the amount of money involved in this corruption case was huge, and all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue had to be brought in for questioning one by one.

Yan Jin was also very worried at this time, and said to his eldest daughter-in-law in a distracted manner: "Don't cry, go back to your yard quickly, don't worry about Zebang's affairs, I will find a way to solve it.

As long as Zebang has not committed corruption or bribery, he will only spend a few days in jail at most."

The eldest young lady wiped her tears and quickly replied: "Well, Zebang definitely didn't embezzle! How could he, a small fifth-rank official, dare to embezzle money from his superiors?"

Yan Jin nodded and comforted her, "Go back and take good care of your brother and sister." The eldest young lady nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, turned and left.

In Linxi Garden, the second young master Yan Zeyu sat there in deep thought.

The Second Young Master's wife asked worriedly, "Brother's affairs shouldn't involve us, right?"

The second young master frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Big brother is always cautious. As long as he doesn't get involved, with father in the front, nothing should happen."

But the Second Young Master's wife was still worried, "But I heard that people are still being arrested outside, and I'm very scared."

The man patted the woman's hand gently and said, "Don't worry, if it really comes to the point where it can't be reversed, I will give you a letter of divorce and let you leave."

When Guan Yaqin heard this, tears started to flow down her cheeks. "Husband, how could you say such a thing?"

The man sighed heavily, "Don't be afraid, it should be fine."

Yan Xue didn't know what was going on outside, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care, since it didn't involve her at the moment anyway.

She was taking a beauty bath in the tub, with a lot of spiritual spring water in it. She wanted to be beautiful, the kind that would make men unable to walk when they saw her.

The next morning, the entire court was unusually quiet, as if you could hear a needle dropping on the ground.

The dramatic changes that happened last night made every official feel terrified. They were secretly worried about who would be the next unlucky one.

Seventeen officials were taken away for questioning that night, and they have not been released yet. No one has a clean bottom, and they are all afraid that the fire will burn themselves.

Yun Jingxing stood in front, frowning. He coughed heavily, "What happened today? Are you all mute?"

The ministers below were trembling with fear, and no one dared to speak. At this time, the Imperial Censor Shen stood up and said,

He bowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Your Majesty is already over fifteen years old. According to past practice, the selection of concubines can only be held when you are sixteen years old.

But now, the entire central palace is empty. His Majesty ascended the throne early, and apart from the Queen Mother and the Dowager Consort, there are no other concubines.

I hope that Your Majesty can enrich the harem as soon as possible and expand the family to ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline."

Yun Jingxing glanced at Lord Shen and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he couldn't wait to put someone by the emperor's side!

He turned to look at the little emperor. Yun Chenxi happened to be looking at his uncle. Seeing that his uncle didn't say anything, he nodded slightly and said, "Your request is granted."

harem,

"Empress Dowager, Lord Shen's proposal to select a concubine for the Emperor has been approved."

The Queen Mother stood up and said, "Really, that's great."

She stood up and walked to the small Buddhist temple at the back, knelt down devoutly in front of the Bodhisattva, and prayed: "May my son give birth to a prince soon..."

In fact, the Empress Dowager was not at peace in her heart. She wondered why the late emperor had allowed Yun Jingxing, a man with ulterior motives, to serve as regent.

Her son has no talent and no opinion of his own. He listens to his uncle's advice on everything. Who will be in charge of the Longyuan Kingdom in the future?

I just hope my son can give birth to a prince soon to consolidate the throne.

Although the selection has been confirmed, everyone knows that the current situation is tense and it is hard to say who will be chosen and who will not. You may be able to attend court today and be thrown into jail tomorrow.

Seven days later, the emperor personally issued an order that the Minister of Revenue, who had embezzled and accepted bribes totaling 1.3 million taels of silver,

Wang Xun, the Minister of Revenue, was executed along with his entire clan. Li Jinan, the Right Vice Minister of Revenue, was also executed along with his entire clan for colluding in corruption.

All males over the age of ten were sentenced to death, women were sent to the Jiaofangsi, and other relevant personnel were exiled to the northwest region.

Huzhou prefect Sun Jiaquan concealed the fact that there was not enough money for disaster relief and was dismissed from his post and investigated...

The imperial edict punished seven officials one after another, causing an uproar in the court.

At the next morning court session, the atmosphere in the court was tense and no one dared to speak easily, for fear that they would be the next person to be implicated.

Among the people, the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, triggering strong condemnation.

The people were indignant at the corrupt officials, and the support for the regent reached its peak.

The officials were trembling with fear, as everyone was afraid of angering the regent and becoming the next lamb.

However, the matter did not end with the fall of the Minister of Revenue. A group of officials were released, and another group was arrested. No one knew when the big pot would fall on their head.

Yan Zebang returned home on the third day.

Mrs. Yan and her female relatives were waiting at the door to greet them. When she saw her eldest son getting off the carriage and looking haggard, she couldn't help but shed tears.

The eldest young lady next to him kept crying from the beginning.

"Okay, boss, jump over the fire basin and go home first." Mrs. Yan said softly.

Yan Zebang nodded silently, stepped over the brazier, and after everyone entered the Yan Mansion, the door of the Yan Mansion slowly closed.

As soon as Yan Zebang entered the door, he was called into the study by his father.

Madam Yan looked at her eldest daughter-in-law who was crying all the time and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, stop crying. As long as the eldest daughter comes back safely, go and prepare some food."

"Yes, mother." The eldest young lady replied, then left with her legitimate brother.

Yan Xue stood aside. This was the first time she saw this so-called big brother since she came here. Judging from his appearance, her big brother was a decent person, but it seemed that he would not achieve much.

She remembered that when the original owner was a child, this elder brother was very kind to her. Although there was a big age gap between them, her elder brother would sometimes carry her out to play.

But as she grew up and her eldest brother got married, the relationship between the two gradually became distant.

However, the last time she fell into the lotus pond, it was her eldest brother who anxiously carried her all the way to the carriage. If there is a chance, he would help her.
