The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 171

Wu Ji snorted coldly and threw Cheng Long directly to the center of the hall.

"You can stop me once, but you can't stop me a second time." Cheng Long shouted and rushed over again.

Wu Ji didn't even need to move, he stretched out his hand and pulled Cheng Long back.

Cheng Long tried several more times without success, and he couldn't help shouting, "The tyrant and the treacherous Empress are in power, and I have failed to persuade them. I am sorry for the late emperor and the Great Yong Dyansty. Even if I can't die now, I will hit my head against the city wall after the court!"

Yue Lin couldn't help laughing as he listened.

Cheng Long's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, don't you believe it?"

"Mr. Cheng is determined to die, and everyone has seen his determination. How can I not believe it?" Yue Lin said calmly.

"In this case, please fulfill my heart for the country!" Cheng Long said with his neck stiff.

"Don't worry. The person should be here soon." Yue Lin smiled, "If Mr. Cheng wants to die, wait a moment."

People?

What people?

Cheng Long's face changed slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, but he still said righteously, "As long as the Emperor does not reuse capable ministers and does not abolish the treacherous Empress, no matter who comes, it will not change the old minister's determination to die for the country!"

Die for the country?

A group of court officials looked at Cheng Long coldly.

It was indeed a sacrifice for the country.

It's just that the one he was loyal to was not Yong Dyansty!

Before everyone had to wait for long, Commander Sun, along with two guards, personally escorted a man and a woman to the main hall.

Cheng Long's expression changed when he saw the two people.

This was really his son Cheng Bao, and his beloved concubine Liu Ruyue.

The Emperor actually called these two people here.

Yue Hua's expression also changed slightly.

After Cheng Long went to the Capital, he also wanted to control Cheng Bao's whereabouts as soon as possible. The people there reported that Liu Ruyue and Cheng Bao disappeared together. Yue Hua thought that Liu Ruyue had taken Cheng Bao away in advance, so he didn't take it too seriously.

As a result, these two people actually fell into Yue Lin's hands.

When did his brother become so omnipotent!

Seeing Cheng Bao and Liu Ruyue being forced to kneel beside him, Cheng Long couldn't help but shout, "What does the Emperor mean? My son has nothing to do with this matter. Is the Emperor going to vent his anger on his family?"

"Violate anger?" Yue Lin smiled, "How could it be? Mr. Cheng is devoted to the country. I really want to help you. I heard that Cheng Bao is addicted to gambling. In just one year, he owed a huge debt of tens of thousands of taels? Mr. Cheng retired with nothing, I'm afraid he can't repay this debt."

Cheng Long's face changed.

The Emperor even investigated this!

He gave a forced smile, "Your Majesty, did you hear me wrong? My son has always been honest, how could he owe such a huge sum of money?"

"Oh?" Yue Lin said calmly, "No? I sent people to secretly check the gambling house. The businessman surnamed Chu who opened the gambling house often looked for so-called fat sheep, and then sent his men to secretly lay bait to lure the fat sheep step by step. In the end, under his arrangement, he owed a huge sum of money that he could not repay. If it is a useless fat sheep, after squeezing out its value, it will continue to collect debts until the family is broken up. If it is a useful fat sheep..."

Yue Lin paused.

Cheng Long was in a trance for a while, and subconsciously looked at Cheng Bao.

Cheng Bao was also a little confused. He said loudly, "No, no, no, it's impossible. There will be no problem with this gambling house! I will go to the gambling house, also..."

Cheng Bao almost blurted out Liu Ruyue's name, but he choked it back.

"What?" Yue Lin smiled, "Is it also because of Liu Ruyue's help?"

Yue Lin's eyes were cold.

Before hearing Miaomiao's gossip, his people had already investigated everything.

The only two things he just learned were that Cheng Long was actually from Luo Country and that Liu Ruyue was pregnant with Cheng Bao's child.

Yue Lin directly said Liu Ruyue's name, and Cheng Bao couldn't help but tremble.

Your Majesty, you even know this?

Cheng Long was still out of his mind. He frowned and looked at Liu Ruyue, and fell into thought for a while.

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence sent by post-horse." Commander Sun directly asked someone to bring up two large boxes of account books, "What Chu Helin did is too numerous to list. With these evidences, he is already on his way back to the Capital! This person is arrogant and has accumulated a lot of wealth through gambling houses over the years. Now the whereabouts of his wealth is unknown. There must be another mastermind behind him."

"Very well, after Chu Helin arrives, send him to the Ministry of Justice for careful interrogation." Yue Lin looked at the Minister of Justice, "Are there any questions?"

The Minister of Justice looked serious, "I will definitely investigate carefully and find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

The identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, he had heard clearly in Jiang Zhimiao's voice.

Prince An He, Yue Hua!

Who would have thought, a few months ago, Yue Hua, who was still quite famous in the court and the people, actually did so many dirty things behind the scenes.

Since we have caught a nail in his hand this time, we must dig deeper!

Yue Hua's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Chu Helin was undoubtedly his man. Over the years, he had helped him accumulate funds by doing this.

Now, Chu Helin had fallen into Yue Lin's hands.

Yue Hua couldn't figure it out.

How could Yue Lin's reaction speed be so fast?

The emperors of the Great Yong in all dynasties had a spy agency under the personal jurisdiction of the emperor, called the Secret Service Department.

But the Secret Service Department was not handed over to Yue Lin by the previous emperor, but was controlled by him.

This was also a great weapon for him to do everything.

Yue Lin should have also established his own secret agency.

But, how could the secret agency he established from scratch compare with the Secret Service Department?

Yue Hua glanced at Xie Cheng.

Did this old man help?

He glanced at Wu Ji again.

Or the Wu family?
