Chapter 75

"I've come here today to thoroughly investigate the death of Liuli in the prime minister's residence as ordered by the emperor."

Tan Shi looked at Mr. Xu with a puzzled look on his face: "Mr. Xu, wasn't there a murderer who confessed before the Liuli incident? Why does the emperor continue to investigate this matter thoroughly? "

Mr. Xu shrugged helplessly: "not everyone can speculate on the emperor's holy intention. If you want to know, you have to go to serve the emperor yourself. I think the prime minister was reprimanded in the palace before, and the first lady already knows?"

Tan has no idea why ye Lanyuan was left in the palace. He never mentioned it. He just reprimanded her that day.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huaiyang said, "Mr. Xu, you may as well have something to say. Since you are here today, it must have something to do with our Tan family."

Although Mr. Xu was in a bit of a dilemma, he told everyone the emperor's will.

It turns out that today, I don't know who spread the news that Liuli died in the hands of the tan family. People in the whole capital think that the tan family is very powerful, so they are careless about their lives.

Such comments will naturally spread to the emperor. The reason why ye Lanyuan was reprimanded by the emperor in the palace before was to warn him not to let the tan family act rashly. Otherwise, even the emperor would not be able to ensure the prosperity of the tan family.

It can be said that the emperor has been very worthy of the tan family. Seeing that Tan's brother has made great achievements in the war, he didn't go to the tan family to warn him about it.

But today's situation is totally different. Even if the emperor wants to protect the tan family, he should put people's livelihood first. If everyone knows about it, he has to take care of it.

That's why I will give the full power to Mr. Xu for trial at this time, without any mistakes.

After hearing this, Mrs. Huaiyang was quite shocked. Their Tan family had no reason to kill a maid: "Mr. Xu, do you have a misunderstanding about the tan family? Do you think we'll fight a maid with our property? "

Xu adults noncommittal: "this official does not know, not nearly tiny big lady how?"

Hearing this, Tan stood up and glared at Mr. Xu: "what do you mean? Does the emperor suspect that I killed Liuli? This matter has been explained clearly before it happened. Why should we repeat the old case? "

Mr. Xu was also impatient: "madam, please pay attention to your words. It's ordered by the emperor, and I'm just doing things impartially. If you didn't kill people, you won't make a scene all over the city, will you?"

When Tan wanted to say something else, she was glared by Mrs. Huaiyang: "shut up. I know about it. Since it's the emperor's will, please treat it fairly. As for the misunderstanding, I will explain it to the emperor myself."

Ye Hongshuang looked at all this, not from the corner of her mouth slightly up, holding a touch of fun smile, she can not help but sigh, silver is really a good thing.

She didn't interrupt from the beginning to the end, and there was no need to interrupt. She always told herself that she should never be soft hearted this time. Since she wanted to be the enemy of the tan family, she had to be fully prepared.

Ye Hongshuang will not risk anything that can be solved with silver. Even if the emperor knows it, he will not fight because of such trifles. Besides, the person who spreads the news has no acquaintance with ye Hongshuang, and the emperor will not doubt her.

As a member of the tan family, I can't deal with such trifles properly. How can I face the emperor.

A good banquet did not wait for Tan Yongzhan to come back, but it had already broken up. When such a thing happened, Mrs. Huaiyang was naturally not interested in continuing to hold the banquet, so she had to hasten it.

The emperor asked Mr. Xu to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the tan family, which made Mrs. Huaiyang and Mr. Tan feel rather shameless. How can we say that the tan family is also a big family that has made contributions to the emperor from generation to generation? It is natural to lose face if they are examined in this way.

That night, Mrs. Huaiyang and Mr. Tan went to the palace together, intending to go and plead with the emperor in person.

Just as they entered the palace, the tan family reported another scandal.

A father and daughter find Lord Xu, claiming that Tan Yongzhan's son, on the way back from the labor force, forced a Jiemin daughter's body because he was drunk.

Mr. Xu didn't believe it at first, but what the father and daughter said was systematic, not like a fabricated lie.

He also saw the scars on the woman's body. In the face of her crying, Mr. Xu had to promise to report to the imperial court and give justice to the father and daughter.

Mr. Xu is also in a bit of a mess. He doesn't understand who the tan family has offended. Recently, either the tan family has been impeached or someone has spread the tan family scandal.

As a member of jingzhaoyi yamen, he once received the favor of the tan family, but the death of Liuli is still unknown, but now it happens again.

Mr. Xu did not dare to be selfish, so he had to rush to the palace overnight.

In the palace, the hall of diligence.

Mr. Tan and Mrs. Huaiyang kneel down to salute one after another, because Mr. Tan is not good at words, and the only thing he is good at is marching and fighting. The important task of explaining to the emperor naturally falls on Mrs. Huaiyang.

"Emperor, today Mr. Xu came to visit us. According to him, a girl named Liuli died unexpectedly. This was done by our Tan family. The emperor should not believe others' words. I can guarantee her life. The tan family has nothing to do with this."

As a result, the leader of the eunuch handed the cup of tea to his mouth, sipped it gently, and then said slowly, "do you mean that I am bewitched by others before Lord Xu comes to you?"

Mrs. Huaiyang was shocked. I don't know why. Every time she saw the emperor, she was very nervous. Even if the emperor was not angry, she still felt invisible pressure.

"I don't mean to. The emperor is the real dragon emperor. How can anyone bewitch the emperor in this world? I just hope that the emperor can see this clearly. The tan family has been in the army for generations, and has never done anything extraordinary. It must be manipulated secretly. Otherwise, how can the whole city know about it overnight? What's more, only a maid died, which... "

Before Mrs. Huaiyang finished, the emperor handed the tea cup to the eunuch leader and interrupted: "what Mrs. Huaiyang said is true, but do you think I don't know who killed that maid? A maid, do you think it's necessary for me to order a thorough investigation? As a member of the tan family, if you can't deal with the deliberate rumor, I really think highly of your tan family. "

At this point, Mrs. Huaiyang basically knew what the emperor was thinking, so she quickly agreed: "what the emperor said is that everything is the fault of the tan family. I know that this matter itself is not significant. Because of the public opinion, the emperor will take care of it personally. When I go back, I will take care of everything and report it to the emperor."

The emperor took a deep breath and waved to the tan family.

Just as Mrs. Huaiyang was about to leave, suddenly a little eunuch walked into the hall of diligence: "emperor, Mr. Xu has come to meet you."

The emperor thought a little and spoke slowly: "Xuan."

Soon, Mr. Xu walked into the hall of diligent administration. When he saw that the tan couple were here again, he was slightly stunned, and then he bowed to the Emperor: "I'll see the emperor."

The emperor closed his head and said, "what's the matter?"

Mr. Xu looked at Mrs. Huaiyang and didn't know whether to talk about it with the emperor in front of them.

The emperor seemed to see the embarrassment of Mr. Xu. He looked at Mrs. Huaiyang thoughtfully and said, "if you have anything, just say it."
