Chapter 167 Nangong Rui solves the case
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, how many years has Meng Tiancheng been in the position of Jingzhao Yin? There must be a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases, right? ]
Daju: [Meng Tiancheng has been the Jingzhao Yin for eight years. He has records of unjust, false and wrong cases. Just ask Nangong Rui to go to Meng Tiancheng's room and dig them out.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn't he just shooting himself in the foot? ]
Daju: [This is called being smart. Every crime is recorded. Once they are investigated, those people will be punished together with him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Tsk tsk tsk, the officials of Xijing are in trouble now! ]
Daju: [Go tell Nangong Rui to search Meng Tiancheng's study. Move the rabbit-shaped animal head to reveal a secret cabinet. The books inside are all records of his bribery over the years.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay, I'll go right away.]
Just as she was about to tell Nangong Rui, Tian Xiaoxiao heard several voices again.
[There is also a tunnel in Meng Tiancheng's study, which is full of gold and many valuable calligraphy and paintings.]
[The bodies of the murdered concubines are in the dry well in the backyard. They are so pitiful. They cry every day. I am so sad that I dare not go to the well to catch mosquitoes to eat. The mosquitoes there are the fattest and tenderest. I have become thinner. Woo woo.]
[The man named Nangong Li colluded with Meng Tiancheng to set a trap for the Crown Prince. The evidence is the jade pendant on Meng Tiancheng.]
[Finally, someone has come to punish this corrupt official. Over the years, I have personally witnessed him judge countless wrongful cases. I thought all humans were such fools who could not tell right from wrong! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, many small animals are talking.]
Daju: [What did they say? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Accusing Meng Tiancheng, exposing Meng Tiancheng.]
Daju: [Tell Nangong Rui as well! ]
After the surroundings fell silent, Tian Xiaoxiao walked towards Nangong Rui.
After listening to Tian Xiaoxiao's whisper, Nangong Rui followed Tian Xiaoxiao's instructions and went to Meng Tiancheng's study to obtain countless evidence of his crimes.
There was a whole box of gold.
When the people saw the huge box of gold, they became emotional.
The man carrying the dung bucket shouted at the gate of the government office: "Damn it, I must fill him with a bucket of dung water today."
The people automatically made way for him.
The man brought a bucket of manure and came in and poured it on Meng Tiancheng.
Everyone applauded!
But he forgot that the person sitting in the court was the prince.
Nangong Rui almost vomited from the fumes, but he still suppressed it gracefully.
Tian Xiaoxiao took out a mask from her pocket and asked the bailiff to pass it to Nangong Rui, while she blocked her sense of smell.
Meng Tiancheng's mind went blank for a moment after being doused with manure. Then he came to his senses: "Don't wait for me to turn the tables, you will be the first person I will skin alive."
"Meng Tiancheng, look at what this is? Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?" Nangong Rui raised the booklet in his hand.
"You, how did you get it?"
Meng Tiancheng suddenly looked up and heard the two voices of eating melons just now. Yes, it was them.
Hate it, should have killed them sooner.
Daju: Don’t you know how powerful you are? You want to kill us? The person who can kill us has not been born yet!
Meng Tiancheng wanted to curse, but his mouth was full of feces, and he swallowed them as soon as he opened his mouth. He had no time to curse. His stomach was churning like a tidal wave, and he vomited out last night's dinner.
It smelled so bad that Meng Tiancheng vomited so much that he fainted.
Nangong Rui had him imprisoned, and then the guards collected all the petitions at the gate of the government office.
Look at them one by one and compare them case by case.
Meng Tiancheng's records were very detailed.
What kind of case was it? Who was originally in the right? But after the wrong party paid so much money, they actually won the case.
Cases of the powerful oppressing the people were even more minute. Nangong Rui asked Ma Xiaonao to write down the officials mentioned in the booklet in order of their official rank, and then arrest people according to the list.
This makes the process much quicker.
Many prisoners who were still in jail were sent home directly, and the people were grateful to the prince.
Tian Xiaoxiao felt relieved when she saw Nangong Rui handling the case in an orderly manner. She sat with Daju for a while, said goodbye to Nangong Rui, and went home.
Nangong Rui returned to the East Palace late at night.
Nangong Li had been placed under house arrest by him. Another imperial uncle, Nangong Yu, seemed to have heard the news and went to his fiefdom with his family overnight.
Nangong Rui also stuffed a few extremely handsome men between the Queen and the eldest princess to temporarily tie them down.
Nangong Qi recently took in a new concubine, who was also prepared for him by Nangong Rui, a thin horse from Yangzhou.
The woman bewitched Nangong Qi so much that he could not attend the morning court, so the power of the government was firmly in the hands of Nangong Rui.
Nangong Rui had already married into the Li family. This time, he swiftly undermined Nangong Qi's power and held back several people who wanted to compete for the throne.
The Li family operated among the people and attracted 20 percent of the military forces.
Tian Xingjian can mobilize 60%, so 20% will remain in the hands of others.
After returning to the palace, Nangong Rui went to see Nangong Qi with the late emperor's will and persuaded Nangong Qi to abdicate.
Nangong Qi did not give in.
Nangong Rui put the evidence that Nangong Li and Nangong Yu wanted to usurp the throne in front of him, reminding him that if he did not abdicate, he would not have the ability to keep the throne. If Nangong Li or Nangong Yu succeeded in ascending the throne, then their entire family would die.
By giving up the throne earlier, Nangong Rui can ensure Nangong Qi's happiness in his later years.
You can even ask a famous doctor to cure his chronic illness.
On the contrary, Nangong Rui will be fully focused on fighting for the throne with several princes and emperors, and he will be unable to handle everything, and Nangong Qi's safety will be at risk.
Nangong Qi shivered a series of times when he heard this.
After returning home, Tian Xiaoxiao told Lin Yunzhi and Tian Lele what happened in the Jingzhao Yin government office.
Tian Xiwen took Tian Xiwu and Lin Bingsheng back home.
It was said that something happened in the academy and classes were suspended for ten days.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, something happened in the academy? ]
Daju: [The actual owner behind the academy is Nangong Li. Over the years, the academy has provided Nangong Li with several batches of talents.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Were all those people pushed into the court by Nangong Li? ]
Daju: [That's right. Now is the time for those people to start playing a role. I'm afraid the crown prince's throne will have to remain deadlocked for a while.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Just use thunderous means to deal with those people. ]
Daju: [Nangong Qi is reluctant to abdicate! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then just let him die. How difficult is that? ]
Daju: [Nangong Rui is bound by the moral shackles of this time and space, and I'm afraid he can't do such a thing. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It's not like he really killed his father. Look at Xijing. Under Nangong Qi's rule, it was almost crushed by Shengjing. This shows that this emperor has no talent and relies entirely on the accumulation of the previous dynasty.]
Daju: [Nangong Rui has learned the art of ruling since he was a child, so he should know how to get through this smoothly. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If he can’t get through, let’s give him a hand. ]
Daju: [He also has a powerful in-law family, the aristocratic Li family. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui might have planned this a long time ago, but he just couldn't put aside his dignity and force Nangong Qi to abdicate.]
Daju: [If Nangong Qi continues to be the emperor, either Nangong Rui will die or the throne will be taken away, and Nangong Rui will become a laughing stock! Then their whole family will die. The fifth prince can't beat his uncles. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Qi is such a fool.]
