A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1151 - 926 The Truth 5 (Seeking Votes for More Updates)_3

[This is too nerve-wracking, not knowing anything, I’m just kneeling here with my heart in turmoil.][Being stared at by His Majesty, it’s like having a sharp sword pointed at my heart, so tense!]

[Heavens, can anyone tell me what exactly is happening?]

Looking at the information written by Xiaosuisui, Ji Youze said, "It’s getting late, you should quickly go and interrogate the case, finish it early and return to eat, I’m starving until my chest sticks to my back."

Feeling sorry for his brother, Ji Youzhi immediately went.

Xiaosuisui quietly took out two pieces of dim sum from her pouch.

"Eighth Uncle, eat. Suisui’s snacks, I’m giving you two pieces!"

Ji Youze: "..." swallowed his saliva but eventually ate the pastries.

Beside the Emperor’s desk, Ji Youzhi’s voice finally arose.

"Upon investigation, Li Xu, a Zhongshu Province official, has accepted bribes during his tenure, bought and sold offices, cheated in the Imperial Examination, and the evidence is confirmed. The Li family’s intelligence points, Pan Gan Pharmacy, Li Family Gambling House, and the Peach Blossom Garden on Xiping Street have been sealed off, and 54 individuals including Xiao Er, performers, and related gambling personnel have been captured.

The Li Family’s second master, who managed general affairs, has been detained, and has made a full confession, signing and pressing his seal.

The evidence has also been presented to His Majesty for a decision!"

Li Xu was dumbfounded, his body trembling, his lips moving without a sound for a long time!

"Your... Your Majesty!"

"Li Xu, do you have anything more to say?"

The Emperor’s voice, calm yet furious, resounded above Li Xu’s head.

The last stroke of Xiaosuisui fell, and Ji Youze and Princess Lianchun both looked at it, it read.

[Unexpectedly... everything is known, how did the second master confess]

[Does he not know that this could be a crime that could destroy the clan]

"Li Xu, the first Champion Scholar appointed after my ascension, truly unexpected, you’ve done this for personal gain, you’ve greatly disappointed me."

At this moment, the Emperor was genuinely disappointed.

Because Li Xu was the first Champion Scholar he appointed after ascending the throne, he had never deliberately suppressed promotions for Li Xu.

Every time he was promoted, it was all so natural.

He knew Li Xu was accustomed to manipulation, but he didn’t expect he would engage in buying and selling offices, accepting bribes, selling court information, and even dare to cheat in the Imperial Examination!

"Your Majesty! I..."

"No need to argue, I’ve seen all the evidence, it will make you confess willingly."

Li Xu knelt on the ground trembling.

The Emperor shouted "Youzhi"!

"I am here!"

"You will interrogate, today I want to hear him confess all his crimes verbally!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Ji Youzhi took out several envelopes and opened them in front of Li Xu.

"Minister Li, are these familiar?"

Seeing those envelopes, Li Xu’s expression changed drastically.

Then seeing the blank letter paper drawn out by Ji Youzhi, her heart sank back into her stomach.

There’s nothing on it, it seems that Divine Hunter Ji hasn’t deciphered the secrets on it yet!

"What is Divine Hunter Ji showing me? There’s nothing on it, are you teasing me!"

"Don’t rush, Minister Li, have a sniff, what’s on it?"

Ji Youzhi directly squatted down, placing the letter under Li Xu’s nose.

"Do you smell it? What scent is it?"

Li Xu pretended to sniff, then pretended to wonder, "Is this... the scent of medicinal herbs?"

Ji Youzhi just laughed.

"That’s right, it’s the scent of medicinal herbs, Minister Li, isn’t it odd, this is clearly an ordinary letter, yet it has a scent of medicinal herbs, do you know why, Minister Li?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xu widened his eyes to look at Ji Youzhi, intentionally asking, "Why?"

Ji Youzhi’s lips curled.

The old fox is still pretending!

"Minister Li, I don’t have much time, today is a good day, His Majesty has appointed the top three of the Enke Examination, do you think one or two might be from your Li family?"

Without thinking, Li Xu shook his head!

"Probably not!"

Joking, passing the Imperial Examination isn’t like eating plain rice, you need a brain to do it, right?

"So sure, it seems Minister Li has good self-awareness!"

When Ji Youzhi said this, Li Xu instinctively felt something was wrong.

"I’m usually quite concerned with my family’s younger generation, so I know their standards, passing the Jinshi is quite difficult, let alone being in the top three!"

"Indeed, Minister Li truly cares for his family’s younger generation.

Minister Li, because you know the standards of your family’s younger generation aren’t high, that’s why you conspired to acquire the examination questions with Minister Lu, right?"

When Ji Youzhi said this, Li Xu’s head buzzed entirely.

He instinctively turned his head to look at Lu Zezhong!
