Chapter 170 Emperor Xia: Every time you talk about Gu Jingzhi, you always quarrel, right?
Everyone in the court was in a panic.
Chen Yu stood aside with a confused look on his face, staring blankly at Chen Ru.
Li Moxue also stood there in astonishment, staring at the scene. After a while, he roared, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you call a doctor?"
The people in the yamen immediately ran out in panic. Only when they disappeared did Li Moxue stupidly turn around and look at Gu Jingzhi.
After a while, he said with a gloomy face, "Master Gu, I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty!"
"Master Li, please do as you please!"
Gu Jingzhi shrugged, then said with regret, "You were so angry that you vomited blood after just a few words. It seems that either they are causing trouble here or there is a ghost!"
Li Moxue: "..."
"Sir Li, we can't continue this case. How about we just call it a day? I'm very busy with official duties. I'm about to go to Jiangnan, where a lot of things are waiting for me!"
"Hmph! Sir Gu, I'm afraid you won't be able to go anytime soon!"
Li Moxue said expressionlessly, "Until the case is concluded, Master Gu should continue to stay in the capital!"
"No problem!"
Gu Jingzhi waved his hand.
Li Moxue just wanted to delay time, and it would be best if he could be convicted of rape so that he could be dismissed from office.
But will Gu Jingzhi give him a chance?
He said, "There's no need to trouble Lord Li with this matter. When I return, I'll submit a petition to accuse the Chen family of false accusation!"
"..."
Li Moxue's mouth twitched, and in the end, she could only look at him gloomily, gritting her teeth and saying, "Withdraw..."
Gu Jingzhi bowed and said, "No need to see me off!"
As he spoke, Gu Jingzhi turned around and gave Chen Yu a look where Li Moxue couldn't see.
Well acted!
Chen Yu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi looked at her like this and sighed slightly in his heart.
Chen Ru was scolded so much that he vomited blood. He was afraid that after returning, the girl's life would become even more difficult. It seemed that he had to submit a memorial to the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise, every minute this girl stayed in the Chen family, something else might happen!
Watching Chen Yu walking silently towards the Chen family, Gu Jingzhi almost couldn't help but pull her away.
Call it pity or lust!
Anyway, that’s what Gu Jingzhi thought!
This girl didn't do anything and didn't do anything wrong, but she was dragged into this court struggle. Not only did she lose her innocence, but she was also forced to come to the government office to file a complaint.
If you are not careful, you will lose your reputation for life.
In the end, I could only walk back alone!
"Ugh……"
Youyou sighed and got directly into his carriage.
If I act impulsively now, the aristocratic family might do something else.
"Go home!"
……
Gu Jingzhi returned to his home and went straight into the study. He took out a blank memorial and started writing.
Soon, he wrote down the original facts and then entered the palace with the memorial.
As usual, Emperor Xia was staying in the imperial study like a stay-at-home.
Hearing the eunuch outside the door say that Gu Jingzhi wanted to see him, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh, this kid is here just in time, but he hasn't been here for a while. Without him, I have a hard time reviewing these memorials every day!"
Tianshu: "..."
When Gu Jingzhi was summoned by Emperor Xia, he straightened his clothes and then stepped into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I, Gu Jingzhi, wish you the best!"
"I am uneasy..."
"Gah?"
Gu Jingzhi raised his head and asked in confusion, "Is your majesty ill?"
"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?"
Emperor Xia glared and scolded, "My imperial envoy was so busy enjoying himself that he's fallen into someone's trap. How can I be at peace?"
Uh……
so far so good!
Gu Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Emperor Xia knew that he had fallen into a trap, he probably didn't blame anyone.
"Your Majesty, I feel wronged about this! They drugged me, and I'm not a palace eunuch. It's inevitable that I'll make some small mistakes!"
Small mistake?
Emperor Xia frowned and looked at Gu Jingzhi with a pair of sharp eyes.
Gu Jingzhi immediately said, "However, today I am not here to ask for forgiveness from Your Majesty, but to congratulate Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations? I don't even know why I'm so happy!"
Emperor Xia gnashed his teeth and said, "If you don't explain the reason, you will stay in the palace and serve me from now on!"
What the hell!
Gu Jing subconsciously clamped his legs together and said at a very fast speed: "Happy news, it must be happy news!"
As he spoke, he took out the memorial in his hand and said, "I have written down the whole story and the solution on this memorial. I hope Your Majesty will have a look at it!"
"Hmph, I don't want to see your romantic affairs. I just want to ask you, if I ask the Ministry of Justice to handle this matter tomorrow morning, are you absolutely sure you can solve it?"
"..."
Don’t you know all this?
Gu Jingzhi was a little puzzled.
You already know that we were framed, so why are you asking me if I am sure?
But since the boss had spoken, how could he dare to complain? He nodded hurriedly: "I'm sure, I'm sure, this matter will definitely not delay Jiangnan's affairs!"
"Humph!"
Emperor Xia said dissatisfiedly, "If you behave like this again when you are in charge of important tasks, I will not forgive you!"
"I am frightened!"
"okay!"
Emperor Xia shook his sleeves impatiently, looking like he didn't have time to deal with him.
Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi was about to take his leave, but unexpectedly, Emperor Xia pointed to the memorials piled on the table and said, "Since you are here, review those memorials first!"
"Uh……"
"Your Majesty, it's almost time to close the palace gates. Look here..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of your dinner!"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched, and he could only hang his head and run to work for Emperor Xia.
After taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, although this matter was plotted by the Chen family, the woman is innocent. I would like to ask Your Majesty for an imperial decree to allow her and her brother to leave the Chen family and live on their own..."
"Then do you want me to grant you a marriage and let the Ministry of Rites arrange your wedding?"
Emperor Xia glared at him, as if he was very dissatisfied.
Gu Jingzhi shrank his head and went to work honestly!
……
The next day.
The grand court meeting had just begun, but no one was allowed to submit a memorial.
Emperor Xia was the first to speak: "Yesterday, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, Gu Jingzhi, filed a memorial accusing the Chen family of Kyoto... the family of Chen Ru, the retired former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, of false accusations. I..."
"Your Majesty, I have heard about this matter. Please make a decision for Elder Chen. As for Gu..."
"Okay!"
Emperor Xia scolded impatiently, "Why do you all make such a fuss every time I mention Gu Jingzhi? Will you even give me a moment of peace?"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
Damn it, Your Majesty, can’t you give us a little face?
"Zhao Huai!"
"Chen is here!"
A minister standing in the front row came out. He was the newly appointed Minister of Justice.
Emperor Xia said without raising his eyelids, "Jingzhao Yin Li Moxue has also submitted a memorial. I will leave this matter to your Ministry of Justice! Regardless of the outcome, I must reach a conclusion as soon as possible."
"My lord, take the order..."
