Xiao Rui suppressed the chattering host, scanned the entire court, and asked loudly: "Everyone, is there anyone who wants to plead for Feng Yandao now?"

All civil and military officials secretly cursed the villain and got carried away. Is it so rampant?

Emperor Li Er coughed lightly and said: "Okay, Feng Yandao has committed a heinous crime and deserves to be killed! Wang Yuan, the Minister of Punishment, neglected his duties and neglected his duties. He is exempted from the official position of Minister of Punishment! As for Yushitai Xiao Rui, there are also these people who have been harmed by Feng Yandao.

How should we live, the people? Do you have any good advice?"

Xiao Rui said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The Yushitai does not have the right to question and accuse people. Please punish me fairly. I am willing to resign and return to my hometown together with Wang Shilang."

Huh??? Everyone is puzzled. This guy stole the show today. He is obviously going to be rewarded for his meritorious service. What do you mean by suing? Your father hasn't sued yet, so why are you suing?

Wei Zheng, the Yushitai, supported Xiao Rui and stood up to plead for mercy: "Your Majesty, Yushitai is fully supporting Xiao Yushi in redressing the grievances of the people. If there is any guilt, as the chief officer of the Yushitai, I am willing to bear it!"

Old Wei, don't ruin my good deeds... Xiao Rui shouted softly.

Wei Zheng didn't even look, he stood in the middle with his head bowed, waiting for his resignation.

At this time, Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although the people on the censorship stage and above have overstepped their authority, they still want to redress the grievances of the people and eliminate harm for the people. They should not judge crimes, but should reward them based on their merits."

What? My son was killed, and you still want to take credit for the murderer?

puff……

Feng Deyi really vomited blood and fell into a coma this time.

Li Er snorted coldly, "Come here, send the Duke of Mi to his mansion for rest. Feng Yandao's body... should have been hung on the city gate for public display. That's all. After the death of the person, the lamp is extinguished and sent to the Duke of Mi's mansion. They can collect and bury it themselves."

Well. Princess Huainan is banned from the Princess Mansion for three months."

"Brother Imperial..." The eldest princess of Huainan was invited to go down unwillingly.

"Xiao Rui, you have done meritorious service in eliminating harm for the people, but you did exceed your authority by beheading first and reporting later. Don't mention it if you resign and return to your hometown. I am not so stupid that I can't distinguish between right and wrong. I will offset your merits and faults and will not be held accountable.

, feel free to serve the country at Yushitai." Li Er glanced at Xiao Rui meaningfully.

Turning to look at the women kneeling on the ground, "Du Aiqing, please inform Chang'an to remove slave status and restore civil status to these people who were persecuted by Feng Yandao. Let Feng Deyi pay compensation door to door."

Du Ruhui bowed and accepted the order, "I don't know how to calculate the compensation?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Er smiled when he saw the reluctance on Xiao Rui's face and said, "Let Xiao Rui talk to Feng Deyi. I believe he can negotiate a compensation that is satisfactory to both parties."

The people on the ground all kowtowed in gratitude, but some of Feng Deyi's friends and veteran ministers felt chilled. Is the emperor really just favoring his new son-in-law by treating his senior ministers so harshly? Why does it feel like he is using his son-in-law's hand to eliminate the senior ministers in the court?

After the matter was settled, no one dared to intercede for Feng Deyi, so everyone slowly left. The emperor asked Xiao Rui to stay.

Xiao Rui ordered his subordinates at the Yushitai to pick up all these suffering women to avoid retaliation from the Feng family.

In the small study, the father-in-law and his son-in-law were served by Lao Gao, the waiter.

Xiao Rui was the first to complain: "I have offended everyone in the court, so how can you just allow me to resign?"

Li Er smiled and said, "It's your little trick to cause two troubles and then walk away? How can it be so easy? Feng Deyi is still waiting for you to deal with it."

"Deal with him? The whole court is full of his followers. If not, no one would care about me playing for him a few days ago? When I first joined the job, you told me that the court is not what I thought. Haha, I don't want to

I was deceived for the second time." Xiao Rui was the only one who dared to drink tea across from the emperor, and dared to say anything in a leisurely manner. The old master of the chamberlain next to him was sweating.

Li Erbai glanced at this cheap son-in-law: "You don't like the officials in the court protecting each other. In fact, I also dislike them forming cliques for personal gain. So your actions have to continue. I still say what I said, as long as you are reasonable, I will be your backer."

A memorial was thrown to Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui opened it and saw that it was Feng Yandao's confession. The key point was that Feng Deyi had supported Prince Yin before.

"Now, if you go to seize Deyi again, no one will dare to stand up for him without being wise." Li Er reminded.

"But this is Feng Yandao's personal words, and there is no evidence. Feng Deyi is an old minister after all." Xiao Rui was puzzled.

Li Er sneered: "So I asked you to negotiate the price with him. If you can't reach an agreement, the people will have nothing to explain. You should be more careful."

I understand, you are asking me to use the pretext of compensation to seize the Feng De Yi family. This guy’s son can do whatever he wants. How can the Duke of Secret State withstand the investigation? What evidence can’t be found by then? Xiao Rui secretly scolded the old man.

My father-in-law is sinister. He is kind to his subjects on the surface, but he is so ruthless behind his back. His son just died.

Xiao Rui stood up to say goodbye, and before leaving the house, he asked: "The Yushitai has no soldiers and no power. If I continue to offend people, I will have to exceed my authority. The Dali Temple of the Punishment Department and others..."

Li Er waved his hand and said: "The Minister of Justice has been replaced. From now on, the Ministry of Justice will cooperate with your actions."

If it’s done, then I can boldly fight against corruption. Alas, in history, such people don’t seem to have a good end. Am I seeking death?

Xiao Rui shook his head and walked happily to the Yushitai.

As soon as he entered the Yamen, Xiao Rui felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Everyone seemed to look at him with an inexplicable meaning.

I don't know which colleague took the lead in shouting, "Welcome Xiao Yushi to come back victorious!"

All the officials and colleagues, as well as the personal guards of the Yushitai, all shouted in unison, and the entire Yushitai fell into a carnival.

At the steps of the lobby, Wei Zheng personally led the team to greet Xiao Rui. He expressed his unabashed admiration, took Xiao Rui's hand and said, "Good boy, well done! After all these years since the Yushitai was established, I finally feel proud today."

Xiao Rui asked the other censors in confusion: "Since you all think so, why are you waiting for me? Why did you go there earlier? What's the benefit to the country when you impeach some nonsense etiquette that doesn't hurt and hurt all day long? And you are still being punished.

People laugh at our Yushitai as a useless cold yamen."

Everyone bowed their heads with a wry smile, and Wei Zheng lamented: "I have no soldiers or power in the Yushitai. We are just a bunch of powerless scholars. And without your skills, there is nothing we can do."

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes at the old fox, "Doctor Wei, you were the first to object when I said I wanted to resign. If I continue to stay at Yushitai, can you withstand the pressure?"

"I have said that Yushitai, from me down, will have your strong backing." Wei Zheng said loudly, and all his colleagues nodded with admiration.

"Okay, Master An, hang a sign at the door of the Yushitai. From today on, the Sixth Division of the Yushitai will do justice for heaven and accept cases brought against the officials by the people. As long as the evidence is solid and there are innocent people being oppressed by officials and nobles, I will

All six offices of Yushitai have taken the call."

Xiao Rui's words made everyone take a breath. Master An was confused. He scratched his head and asked softly: "Sir, we just captured Feng Deyi, shouldn't we wait a little longer?"

The implication is that it was a fluke to capture Feng Deyi. Do you think you can move all the nobles in Chang'an?

Xiao Rui turned his head and glanced meaningfully outside the gate of Yushitai: "We can slow down, but where are the suffering people? Every extra day of delay, they will suffer one more day of suffering."

Good! Xiao Yushi looks young, but unexpectedly he has a great feeling of caring about the country and the people. I admire him! He is indeed the eldest son of Song Guogong. Everyone in the Yushitai is infected by Xiao Rui's temperament.

As everyone knows, how can Xiao Rui worry about the country and the people? It was all discussed with the emperor.

"Okay, let's gather our strength and make preparations today. Tomorrow, follow me to find Feng Deyi to ask for money."
