Chapter 885: The Empress Threatens
Assuming!
If the Imperial Censorate was under their control, no matter if it was the Empress or Consort Ming, their power was already monstrous, and they were also Emperor Xia’s bedmates. If they controlled another department, no one would be able to sleep peacefully.
It was no wonder that before he took office, the old master had specially instructed him to do it boldly and without worry to make the fire burn even more vigorously.
Thinking of this…
Zhang Ronghua was extremely pleased. He had remembered what Su Qiutang had done some time ago. The tables had turned, and it was his turn to take the initiative. This time, he had to cut off an arm!
Watching them leave, Cai ‘er didn’t dare to delay, putting away the Phoenix Token, and running towards the Tranquil Heart Palace while holding her skirt.
..
Imperial Censorate.
In the office hall.
Several imperial censors sat around the table, and there were piles of files in front of them. They were mainly Chen Youcai, Xu Xing, Lu Junxiu, and the others. They wanted to find loopholes and investigate them in one go.
Bai Yichang stood at the side with his hands behind his back and watched coldly.
After He Wenxuan had run into a wall, he went to gather other people, including the representatives of the princes in the royal court. The answer he got was the same, all of them were rejected. Or rather, these people had guessed that he would fight to the death with Zhang Ronghua. They just stood by and watched for a while. After seeing Zhang Ronghua get pulled down from his horse, they would go down and beat him up.
Helpless.
Bai Yichang had no choice but to do it himself. He ordered people to bring the files over. He wanted to break the situation from here. He also decided that after he was on duty, he would order people to investigate further. He did not believe that he could not find evidence of their crimes.
“Still no clues?” he asked in a deep voice.
“Not yet, sir!” One of them replied.
Bai Yichang’s expression was very ugly. It had been almost the entire morning. He suppressed his anger.” Continue!”
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. Judging from the commotion, there were many people. Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked outside.
Bang!
The door of the palace was kicked open, and Zhang Ronghua led the Human Emperor Guards and walked in with big strides. Seeing this, the group of people was shocked and hurriedly stopped what they were doing. They lowered their heads and wished they could find a rat hole to hide in.
He walked to the table.
He casually picked up a scroll and began reading it. It recorded Chen Youcai’s name in great detail. From the moment he entered the imperial examination until now, all the major and minor matters were recorded in it.
Glancing at the other files, Zhang Ronghua knew what to do. He wanted to tear a gap from the people around him and break the situation. He ordered with a cold face,” Take them all down!”
“How dare you!” Bai Yichang’s face was ashen as he shouted angrily.
“Do you still have any superiors in your eyes? What do you want to do by bringing people to barge into my palace?”
” The evidence is conclusive. You are involved in Pang Youshan’s case. We are here to investigate the case according to His Majesty’s orders. No matter who is involved, arrest them all!” Zhang Ronghua said with a murderous look on his face.
“You’re slandering me!”
Bang!
Zhang Ronghua violently kicked him to the ground. The surrounding Human Sovereign Guards pounced on him like wolves and tigers, taking down these people and putting away the files.
Bai Yichang still wanted to struggle, but just as he was about to curse, a Human Sovereign Guard slapped him. His pig-like face, which had yet to fade, immediately stopped, not daring to scream again.
“Let’s go!”
Ding Yi had just returned when he left with them. The two of them met up and entered the Fourth Division. They did not go to the Ministry of Justice’s prison because they did not trust him. Before they entered the palace, the news of Bai Yichang’s arrest spread like thunder in the Imperial Censorate.
When Du Chengming received the news, he did not understand what Zhang Ronghua was up to. The fact that he dared to mobilize the Human Emperor Guards meant that he must be involved in something serious. Besides that, the Imperial Censorate had been sealed off. Other than the Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army, there were also Human Emperor Guards at the entrance. They were allowed to enter but not leave.
After some thought.
He couldn’t just ignore it. Firstly, this was his territory. As the Imperial Censor, he had allowed his subordinates to mess around. He couldn’t control the situation, and it was a huge blow to his prestige. Secondly, Bai Yichang was his man, and he had been captured along with a group of trusted aides. No matter what the reason was, he had to show up. Otherwise, who would dare to work for him in the future?
In addition, he had to figure out why and prepare in advance to prevent Zhang Ronghua’s fire from burning. At that time, if he wanted to resist, he would only be more passive.
He brought a group of people and rushed to the Fourth Division aggressively.
In the courtyard.
“Stop!” Du Chengming shouted in a deep voice.
Bai Yichang’s eyes lit up, and his face was filled with excitement as he cried out for help. Zhang Ronghua is crazy. He randomly accused me of something and wants to eliminate dissidents!”
The crowd parted.
Du Chengming walked up. He was two steps away from her, and his old eyes were terrifyingly cold.” Is what he said true?”
“Is Lord Du also involved in this matter?” Zhang Ronghua asked.
Ding Yi was already prepared. As long as he dared to say yes, he would immediately pounce on him and take him down.
“What crime did they commit?” Du Chengming wasn’t stupid.
“It involves confidential information, no comment!”
“You…”
“Chase them out!” Zhang Ronghua said. Anyone who dares to stay or resist will be captured.”
The Human Emperor Guards stepped forward, and their bloodthirsty, ferocious, and terrifying baleful aura suppressed him, creating a huge pressure. Du Chengming felt aggrieved and furious, but there was nothing he could do.
At this point, he could only retreat. He would only attack after he understood the situation. He flung his sleeves.” Let’s go!”
He quickly left with his men.
“What a pity.” Ding Yi sighed.
“No rush!”
Zhang Ronghua ordered the Human Emperor Guards to stand guard outside and not let anyone in. He then ordered Han Zhenggang, Jin Yaoguang, and the others to interrogate Bai Yichang’s men separately. As for him, he would interrogate them personally.
In the main hall.
