Chapter 132 Who are you? Why don’t you take the initiative to greet the beauty?
this……"
Guo Xiang hesitated for a moment, then quickly said:
"Your Majesty, I have no idea where this crazy woman got these things, and she deliberately brought them to the palace gate at this time. Someone must have framed me and my family."
If he still couldn't see at this moment that someone was targeting the Guo family, then Guo Zhong would have lived in vain.
It is obvious that today's dramas are a setup for the Guo family by someone, and it has been planned for a long time.
It started when Lin Qinnan entered the mansion, or even earlier.
At this moment, Prime Minister Guo couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have been careless and let Lin Qinnan enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now she is so restless even when she is pregnant. Who knows whether the child in her belly is from the Guo family.
Thinking of this, Guo Xiang couldn't help but look up and glance at Gu Li. Could it be that since Gu Li returned to Beijing, the Guo family has been targeted?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will continue to take root and sprout in your heart.
Soon, the emperor ordered Lin Qinniang to enter the palace.
Because there were so many things, the empty space in the Golden Palace could no longer hold them. When Lin Qinnan ordered people to open all the boxes, all the civil and military officials present were blinded.
There were coral trees more than one meter tall, fist-sized luminous pearls, boxes of gold and silver jewelry, pearls and agates, boxes of full green jadeite, and so on.
It can be said that this entire hall is filled with so much money that even the current treasury does not have so much.
At this time, Lin Qinniang took the initiative to kowtow to the emperor, and then said: "I, Ge Linlang, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
As she finished speaking, the hall once again fell into a heated discussion.
"Ge Linlang? Her surname is Ge? Isn't her surname Lin?"
"Could it be that she is also a daughter of the Ge family?"
Guo Xiang suddenly opened his old eyes wide and looked at Lin Qinniang without blinking, "You...are you in cahoots with this old bastard?"
Minister Guo was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Was all his years of planning going to be ruined today?
But when he thought about falling into the hands of such a father and daughter, Guo Xiang felt extremely unwilling.
He had experienced honor and disgrace for half his life, just to continue the glory of the Guo family in his old age, but he never expected that he would fall into the hands of a businessman.
This really proves the saying that those who play with eagles for years will end up having their eyes pecked by an eagle.
Lin Qinnan, oh no, Ge Linlang didn't plan to pretend anymore at this time. She sneered and looked at Guo Xiang fearlessly.
"Father-in-law, oh no, I should call you Lord Guo Xiang. When you allowed Guo Yi'an to kill my brother and wantonly swallow up my Ge family's assets, you should have thought that this day would come."
"As the saying goes, karma will continue in an endless cycle. Minister Guo, you and your family must bear the consequences of your actions."
As Ge Linlang finished speaking, all the information she had collected about the Guo family's illegal operations, including usury, and seizure of people's land, was presented to the emperor.
Even though the emperor was well prepared, he was still so angry that he couldn't help but lose his temper when he saw that the Guo family was involved in so many other activities.
"Bang" sound.
The emperor slammed the memorial in his hand down in front of the hall and shouted angrily, "This is outrageous, Guo Zhong! This says that your Guo family not only secretly sold salt, iron, and military equipment, but also participated in cheating in the imperial examinations. The list is endless. Do you admit your guilt?"
Minister Guo couldn't help but close his eyes. How could he not see now that this was just a trap set for him by the emperor, Gu Li, and the Ge family.
As the head of aristocratic family, the Guo family has always been the focus of everyone's attention. The emperor's series of schemes first forced them to stabilize the grain price, then brought out the incident of Guo Yian's murder to silence witnesses, and now he has produced these so-called evidences to accuse the Guo family of various crimes. In addition, Ge Linlang carried all these treasures to the Golden Palace. Even if he had a thousand mouths, he would not be able to explain himself clearly.
Right now, we can only place our hopes on Guo Yian, hoping that he will quickly destroy all evidence after hearing the news.
If it really doesn't work, you can only take risks.
At this point, Prime Minister Guo realized that nothing he said would be of any use, so he looked up to the sky and laughed three times, saying:
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. Now that things have come to this, this old minister has nothing to say."
Even if he died, he would maintain his integrity as an old minister who had served in two dynasties. He would never kneel down and beg for mercy like those useless people at this time, full of regret.
Because he knew it was useless.
The emperor has already thought about eliminating the aristocratic families. As long as the Guo family falls, all the aristocratic families will be in danger.
If the emperor did not want to shake the foundation of the country, he would definitely not choose to kill himself at this time.
As long as you are alive, there is still a chance for everything.
The emperor obviously understood Prime Minister Guo's intentions. He fixed his dignified eyes on Prime Minister Guo and ordered:
"This case is of great importance and involves many people. The Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will jointly investigate the case. They must thoroughly investigate all the activities of the Guo family."
"Also, from the Ge family side, have someone quickly apprehend Guo Yian and bring him to justice. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as the emperor spoke, the royal guards entered the hall, took off Prime Minister Guo's official hat in public, removed his court robes, and led him away.
At this point, the turmoil against the Guo family temporarily ended with Prime Minister Guo being detained.
Meanwhile, the harem.
After learning that Prime Minister Guo was detained, Liu Qingqing quickly rushed to the Pepper Palace, hoping to seek refuge with Wan Rongyue.
In her opinion, the Guo family's luck had run out, and the downfall of the Queen and the Crown Prince was only a matter of time. If her prediction was correct, the person who would truly call the shots in the harem would be Wan Rongyue.
She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hug Wan Rongyue's thighs tightly. After all, she had asked her to think carefully about whether she wanted to join him.
Unexpectedly, just as he turned a corridor, he ran into a young woman in palace dress. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure, fair skin, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that sparkled with smart and wise light.
Liu Qingqing couldn't help but be stunned.
Who is this woman? Why have I never seen her in the palace before?
And judging from her clothes, she doesn't look like a palace maid, nor does she look like a concubine in the harem.
"Stop, who are you and why don't you greet our beauty?" The palace maid behind Liu Qingqing was the first to question Qiu Ning.
Qiu Ning paused and turned to look at Liu Qingqing.
This was the first time he had met Liu Qingqing since entering the palace. The last time he saw her, she was performing on stage at Anxiang Tower.
Seeing this, Qiu Ning slowly stepped forward, knelt before Liu Qingqing, and said, "Greetings, Miss Liu."
"Which palace are you from? Why have I never seen you before?" Liu Qingqing said to Qiu Ning.
Qiu Ning rolled her eyes and said, "I am the Sixth Prince's teacher, Qiu Ning, currently residing in the Criminal Court. May I ask, beautiful lady, are you going to the Imperial Concubine's palace?"
Liu Qingqing couldn't explain why, but she felt an inexplicable hostility the first time she saw Qiu Ning.
Even she herself didn't know why.
Obviously, I have never seen her before.
She nodded at Qiu Ning and was about to leave, but at this moment, Qiu Ning called her back.
"The beauty went to see the Imperial Concubine, but is she going to surrender to the Imperial Concubine because of the Guo family's affairs?"
Liu Qingqing paused.
