Chapter 360: Chu Nanyue was taken to prison!
The voice was like a cold wind, piercing people's hearts. Everyone looked and saw that Xiao Hanye had come to Chu Nanyue's side without them knowing when. Although his eyes were covered with gauze, he still exuded a majestic and inviolable aura.
Shen Quan's anus tightened instantly when he saw this, but he was not afraid. Instead, he taunted, "Prince Yan, are you trying to bully others by taking advantage of your power? You are openly blocking the officials from handling the case, which is a violation of the law, partiality and corruption, and you are guilty of a crime!"
Xiao Hanye laughed: "Favoritism and fraud? Shen Quan, you probably forgot how you, as the head of all officials, disrupted the government and took the lead in cheating in the imperial examinations? Do you really think you are returning home in glory?"
"What? Prime Minister Shen is leading the charge in corruption and favoritism? Didn't he return home in glory?"
"Yes, yes, Prime Minister Shen is the highest-ranking official in Yanzhou, isn't he?"
......
"You..." Hearing the discussions from the people around him, Shen Quan was so angry that his face became more constipated. He had been in the officialdom for decades but ended up miserably. This was the pain of his life, but how could Xiao Hanye dare to point it out to him in person? Especially in front of his fellow villagers, so he said angrily, "King Yan is preaching here, have you forgotten how you were exiled here? Where do you get the sense of superiority to judge me?"
Xiao Liangce gloated and said, "Yes, why?"
We are all people who are not tolerated by the court!
Xiao Hanye sneered, "Why? Because even though I am stuck in the mud, I am still the most noble person in Yanzhou! Shen Quan, don't forget that you are now a commoner! And Xiao Liangce, you may say that you can pretend to be a prince and cheat people everywhere, but the fact is that you are also a commoner! So, how can you two judge my princess?!"
Xiao Liangce snorted coldly and turned to Ji Qingfeng and said, "Master Ji, look at the arrogant attitude of our fourth brother. If you don't know him, you would think he is the parent official of Yanzhou. He has always been a great speaker and can make a lot of arguments. Don't be led astray by him. Now we are talking about beating the Princess of Yan. How can we allow him to make trouble here!"
Shen Quan echoed: "Even if you are a prince, what you do cannot go beyond the law. Execute!"
Ji Qingfeng's face was solemn when he heard this. Just as he was about to wave his hand again, Xiao Hanye's ears moved. As if he had guessed his intention, he spoke first: "Sir Ji, as an official appointed by the court, you should distinguish right from wrong and have your own set of principles for handling cases, rather than listening to others' one-sided words. Since you, as the parent official of Yanzhou, are unwilling to uphold justice for us, then I will do it myself!"
After he finished speaking, he walked past everyone and said directly: "Leng Jiu, bring Wang Erma's heirloom jade bracelet!"
Leng Jiu immediately stepped forward, but how could Wang Erma, who had finally obtained the treasure, give it to him? So he quickly asked for help: "Lord Ji, help me! Prince Yan is trying to take it away by force!"
Hearing this, Ji Qingfeng's expression became even more complicated: "Prince Yan! Although you are a prince, the government does not allow you to take action on your own when handling a case!"
He has his own principles for handling cases, but Shen Quan is his teacher, so he has to consider his face!
Chu Nanyue glanced at Xiao Hanye, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Master Ji, it's not that we are overstepping our authority, but didn't you just ask me to prove my innocence? Now we have to prove our innocence. I just gave birth as the eldest prince's wife said, and I can't bear twenty strokes of the cane anyway. So, I hope Master Ji can give me a chance to live!"
She took the initiative to lower her posture and spoke in flattering words, which not only eased Ji Qingfeng's anger, but also attracted the sympathy of the people around her.
What can the people think?
There was little entertainment in ancient times, so people would go wherever there was gossip to fill their after-dinner conversations and be fence-sitters who did whatever they wanted.
Especially when they heard the crying of two babies coming from the house: "Wa wah wah wah... wah wah wah... wah wah wah...", they all swarmed towards Chu Nanyue.
"Master Ji, just let Princess Yan prove her innocence. She still has children crying for food."
"Yes, proving your innocence will stand anywhere, and I don't think the Princess of Yan looks like a thief."
......
Leng Jiu took this opportunity to snatch the jade bracelet from Wang Erma's hand. Wang Erma wanted to snatch it back, but he was too slow. The jade bracelet had already fallen into the hands of Prince Yan. No matter how much of a bastard he was, he would not dare to openly snatch things from the prince!
Therefore, she could only glare angrily at Prince Yan who was fiddling with the jade bracelet seriously.
Prince Yan took the jade bracelet and knocked and sniffed it, which made Chu Nanyue feel that he was like a professional jade appraiser.
Xiao Liangce snorted: "My fourth brother's current appearance matches your..."
At this point, he clearly felt a sharp gaze coming towards him. Looking up, it was indeed that bitch Chu Nanyue, so he shut his mouth in time.
One day, he was going to smash Chu Nanyue's face, but seeing that she was pretty, he might consider bumping into her once, slapping her, giving her a double touch, and completely conquering her.
What the hell, what's so good about that bastard Old Four? He's fallen to such a low point that he's become a fortune teller, and yet he still protects him so much!
Shen Meng'er looked at Xiao Liangce's eyes staring at Chu Nanyue, and her anger grew stronger. She twisted her hands hidden in her sleeves to fiercely twist his lower back, gritting her teeth and saying, "Xiao Liangce, it's fine that you have so many shameless people in your house, but if you dare to have those dirty thoughts about Chu Nanyue, I will pop your eyes out!"
The thought of Xiao Liangce favoring Chu Nanyue made her feel sick and want to vomit, but if Prince Yan favored her, that would be a different matter. After all, he was handsome and loyal, and more importantly, he was still a prince!
"Hiss!" Xiao Liangce gasped in pain, then subconsciously looked at Shen Quan. Seeing that he didn't look at them, he whispered, "Meng'er, how could I have such thoughts about that bitch? I wish I could smack her in the face. I'll have my servants tie her up some other day, and you can humiliate her however you want. How do you think?"
After hearing this, Shen Meng'er let go. She stared at Chu Nanyue, who was staring at King Yan with curiosity, with a sinister look, and said sinisterly: "One day, I will regret it and chop off her hands!"
What? A vulgar, despicable, lowly person is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the royal family?
Just when Shen Quan couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to directly order Ji Qingfeng to take Chu Nanyue down to be beaten with a stick, King Yan finally understood.
"This is the royal jade bracelet! Grand Prince, Grand Princess, do you still dare to say that you didn't deliberately frame Princess Yan?"
Xiao Liangce said, "Do you really think you are a fortune teller? You can even say with your own eyes that other people's heirlooms belong to the royal family?"
Shen Meng'er also mocked: "Prince Yan, even if you want to excuse Chu Nanyue, you don't have to talk nonsense like this, right? This jade bracelet is obviously Wang Erma's heirloom, how could it be a royal thing?"
What a joke! How could she not know whether her jade bracelet was a royal item?
Otherwise, how could she be willing to give it to Wang Erma as a reward after the matter was accomplished?
Although Chu Nanyue was not familiar with royal items, she could tell that the jade bracelet was not very valuable. She looked at King Yan with a determined look on his face, wondering what he was up to.
Xiao Hanye took the initiative to let go of her hand, took a step forward, and said: "This is a royal item, of course I won't make a mistake. Although this bracelet looks ordinary, its style and texture are very interesting, because it is a tribute from Dongyu!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
But the next moment, what shocked them even more was that Xiao Hanye suddenly raised his arm, and after a crisp sound, the jade bracelet in his hand turned into a pile of powder.
"What? King Yan actually used his inner strength to shatter the jade bracelet?!"
"My goodness, what on earth is King Yan trying to do?"
Wang Erma also said with a painful look on his face: "Ah! Ah! My... jade bracelet... my heirloom, King Yan, you have to compensate me for my heirloom!"
Shen Quan shouted angrily: "That's great, but Prince Yan dared to destroy the evidence in public?!"
Xiao Liangce taunted, "Fourth brother is still as overbearing as ever. Seeing that the evidence is irreversible, he took the risk!"
Shen Meng'er: "The King of Yan is really trying to cover up his guilt. Sir Ji, stop wasting time talking to them and hit Chu Nanyue with the board!"
Chu Nanyue was also puzzled, but she knew that Xiao Hanye must have his reasons for doing this, so she chose to continue watching the show with a calm and trusting look.
Ji Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. He didn't think King Yan would be so stupid, so he didn't say anything.
Sure enough, Xiao Hanye sneered and then opened his fist, and several crystal clear gems were seen in the powder.
Those gems emit a faint blue light under the moonlight, like pearls in the deep sea, dazzling.
At this time, a black bird swooped down from the sky, picked up one of them, and cheered: "Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!" Then, it spun happily in the air.
"What...what is this?" The people rubbed their eyes, looking surprised.
Xiao Hanye chuckled and said, "Xiao Liangce and Shen Quan, the common people don't know them, so you don't know them either, do you?"
Xiao Liangce and Shen Quan's faces turned pale in an instant.
Of course they recognized it; it was a gem unique to Dongyu, and Dongyu envoys had even displayed it publicly in the hall before!
But they will never admit: "Stop being so mysterious!"
Xiao Hanye smiled: "Since you are lying with your eyes open, I can't force you to do anything. But I have shown the evidence to Lord Ji, so Lord Ji needs to verify it next. Most of the officials above the fifth rank in the capital have had the honor of seeing this gem. Lord Ji only needs to send the yamen runners to collect the evidence!"
After that, he added firmly, "Investigating and collecting evidence is the job of the police. Lord Ji will not refuse even such a small request, right?"
Chu Nanyue quickly said, "Master Ji, which evildoer has caused such a mess in Yanzhou? I'd like to trouble you, the fatherly official, to find it out for us!"
After being treated like this by the two, how could Ji Qingfeng not send someone to investigate?
But Shen Quan said in a deep voice: "This is a delaying tactic of the two of them. We should investigate if necessary, but in the meantime, in order to prevent the criminal from escaping, the Princess of Yan should be detained and imprisoned!"
He has the final say on the time for verification!
When Shen Meng'er heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, put Chu Nanyue in jail!"
Judging from the time she spent, she had to bribe the jailer to kill the bitch!
Chu Nanyue couldn't help but swear: "I'll take your daddy, you two are so imaginative, why don't you go to heaven?"
Shen Quan squeezed her chrysanthemums and shook her sleeves: "Vulgar!"
Xiao Hanye sneered: "Haha! Vulgar? Are you noble? Are you so noble that your anus can be stabbed and rotten by others?"
Shen Quan was so angry that he almost stumbled and fell. He pointed at his nose and cursed: "You...are talking nonsense!"
Xiao Hanye didn't take it seriously: "What nonsense? You think everyone in the Beijing noble circle knows about your little thing. You are a hypocritical hypocrite!"
Shen Quan's face was so pale at this moment that he was shaking with anger!
The spectators were not there for nothing. Looking at the expressions of the two men, one was calm and composed, while the other was angry and embarrassed, they immediately had a plan in their minds.
"Oh, I didn't realize that our usually elegant and upright Prime Minister Shen would be so extravagant?"
"It doesn't matter whether they spend money or not. Who doesn't have a hobby like them? The key is that our Prime Minister Shen is the one who is suppressed!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, there are so many wonders in this world, and this year is the worst. The image of Prime Minister Shen in my mind is shattered to pieces, the kind that I can never put back together again!"
"Who isn't? Whenever I look at Shen Xiang now, my anus hurts so much. If he really fucks me... cough cough cough, it's unbearable to watch! Unbearable to watch!"
"Hush... stop talking. Look at Prime Minister Shen, his face has turned the color of pork liver. Our master is his disciple. Be careful or he will put us in jail as well!"
Chu Nanyue couldn't stop laughing. She knew about this matter and she found it so disgusting just thinking about it. It was really a sinister trick that only her prince could come up with.
Xiao Hanye said that he would not take the blame for this matter!
The real culprit was now full of pride, as he had stabbed with his broken arm.
Although Leng Jiu was not in the capital during that period, he knew about it. He felt relieved at the time, but now, looking at Jiang Yan who looked unsatisfied, he felt a tightness in his anus for no reason. Could this guy really have that tendency?
No wonder he has no wife?
Jiang Yan: “!!!”
Blame him?
There are a total of three people of the opposite sex around me.
Don't even mention the Princess of Yan, Xiao Tao was snatched away by you, and Si Zhu was reserved by that guy Du Fei... Damn it, he feels wronged, but he won't say it!
Shen Quan was finally unable to bear it any longer after being pointed out, and roared, "Shut up! Everyone, shut up!"
Ji Qingfeng also looked worried, and his sharp eyes swept through the crowd one by one. Everyone trembled and suddenly became silent, not daring to make a sound.
Shen Quan was still furious. He glared at Xiao Hanye and gritted his teeth, "Someone, take Chu Nanyue to jail!"
Then, the next moment, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the door, followed by a powerful voice: "I want to see who dares to imprison the Princess of Yan?"
