Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl - Chapter 887: The Empress Threatened

Chapter 887: The Empress Threatened

“Not enough!” Zhang Ronghua shook his head.

Bai Yichang knew what he meant. He wanted to take Du Chengming down. He smiled bitterly.” With Lord Du’s authority, if it weren’t for the Imperial Censorate’s special status and the fact that they did things that offended people, they would have long charged into the Tianji Pavilion. How could such a person covet some money?”

The atmosphere in the palace was silent.

Shaking his head, he said again,” Although the criminal doesn’t have any evidence of Lord Du’s crime, he has evidence of Zhao Yueliang from the First Division. There is a lot of evidence. If we follow this line, no one from the First Division will be able to stay out of it.”

He saw that his eyes were pure and did not look like he was lying.

If he lied, Zhang Ronghua was confident that no one would be able to hide it from him. But on second thought, he felt that it was right. At Du Chengming’s position, there was no way he could rise up. He was a high-ranking official. Why would he covet a little silver? This kind of person had a strong desire for power. He was wholeheartedly devoted to officialdom. He said,”Speak!”

Bai Yichang didn’t dare to hide anything and told him everything about Zhao Yueliang.

The case was so serious that almost everyone from the First Division was involved.

According to him, the people led by Zhao Yueliang used their power to get rid of political opponents for others. As long as the money was paid, no matter who it was, they could be crippled.

First, they would collect evidence of the other party’s crimes. If they did not have any evidence, they would fabricate false evidence. They would either frame them or work with the Supreme Court to arrest them. After a series of procedures, they would be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. The benefits of having a network of connections would be shown. Then, the Ministry of Justice would come forward to interrogate them. Before the set of punishments was completed, most of them confessed their crimes. The rest would be tortured to death and publicly announced to the public that they had committed suicide to avoid punishment.

He was cautious and very secretive. The ‘jobs’ he took were all within a controllable range, which was why he had been hiding it until now and no one had discovered it.

After listening.

Zhang Ronghua was truly shocked. With the three divisions working together, they could indeed cover the sky with one hand.

The three divisions referred to the Imperial Censorate, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice.

One was in charge of impeachment, one was in charge of arrest, and the other was in charge of punishment.

“How did you know?” he asked in a deep voice.

“Zhao Yueliang’s trusted aide is actually my man,” Bai Yichang said.

He understood!

This was to take precautions and prepare for the worst.

“Who’s at the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.

“Only Zhao Yueliang himself knows about this. He hid it very well.”

Zhao Yueliang was a third-grade official of the Left Imperial Censor.

“Where is the evidence?”

“There’s a secret room behind the study,” Bai Yichang said.”The things are hidden inside.”

” Bring 10% of the Human Emperor Guards and a battalion of the Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army. Surround the mansion immediately and bring the items over,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.

“Yes.” Ding Yi knew the seriousness of the matter.

He opened the door and left in a hurry.

“Who does Du Chengming work for?”

“I’m not too sure!” Bai Yichang frowned. However, after observing him for so many years, all kinds of signs point to him being a subordinate of one of the consorts in the palace.”

Zhang Ronghua guessed that the Empress was still the Empress? Or was it someone else?

They had stretched their hands too far. No wonder the Xia Emperor was so ruthless.

“Is there any other news?”

“No!” Bai Yichang said. That’s all I know.”

“Watch carefully!” Zhang Ronghua ordered. Without my orders, no matter who comes, block them.”

“Yes, sir!” The two Human Sovereign Guards replied respectfully.

He opened the door and left.

Jin Yaoguang, Han Zhenggang, and the others rushed over. The interrogation had already ended.

After bowing, they opened their mouths and reported the situation on their side.

None of Bai Yichang’s subordinates were clean. They all confessed.

“Follow me!” Zhang Ronghua said.

He brought them out of the Fourth Division and was about to head to the First Division to capture someone when an unexpected person appeared. Su Qiutang was wearing a bright red dress and was meticulously dressed up, perfectly displaying her noble and otherworldly aura. Her aura was huge and no one dared to look directly at her. She led a team of Phoenix Guards and came face to face.

Combining Bai Yichang’s words with the current scene, Du Chengming’s backer behind the scenes appeared. He was the Empress’s man, which was why this scene had happened.

Zhang Ronghua’s expression did not change. Although Su Qiutang’s status was noble and she was the Palace Master of the Phoenix Guards, if it was in the past, she still had to bow with her hands folded in front of her chest. Now, there was no need!

His identity was placed here. In other words, a scholar should be treated differently after three days of separation.

“Move aside!” he said with a cold face.

Su Qiutang was rather conflicted. The little Imperial Army that she had casually suppressed in the past had grown to such heights in such a short time. Even she could not do anything to him, yet he still dared to speak so unyieldingly.

“The Empress has ordered you to go over now!” he said gracefully and nobly.

The same words, but the person who passed them on changed.

The atmosphere was cold and tense.

Seeing that he was unmoved.

Su Qiutang’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and the temperature in her voice dropped by 30%.”Do you want the Empress to personally come and invite you?”

He couldn’t shirk it!

Zhang Ronghua also wanted to use this opportunity to meet the Empress and get information from her. He thought for a moment and looked at Jin Yaoguang and Han Zhenggang.” Surround the Imperial Censorate. Don’t let anyone leave.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Lead the way,” said Zhang Ronghua.

Su Qiutang was so angry that she almost laughed. He actually asked her to lead the way. He must be too arrogant! A talent cultivated by Shimin.

He was very good at keeping his composure. He didn’t show it on his face at all.

He turned around and walked out.

On the way.

“Snow Garden has been crippled. She has paid the price for her actions.” Su Qiutang thought for a while and said.

Zhang Ronghua remained silent. How could he not know about such a big matter?
