"Master, if you really hate this man, let's just keep him here."

"He's not trying to clear his name. Let's just pour some dirty water on him and make him die a miserable death."

Eunuch Li saw that the empress was still a little angry, so he wanted to help the empress with some ideas.

But he didn't notice that the empress's expression had changed at this time.

"It doesn't matter. My tolerance is not that small. Are you scolding me? It doesn't matter. I haven't received enough scolding."

"Since I came to the throne, there have been snowflakes of memorials to impeach me every day."

"The empress is fatuous, the empress is fatuous, the empress is fatuous."

"One out of every three stories says I'm fatuous."

After the empress finished speaking, she closed her eyes and gently rubbed her forehead.

It's okay. Being scolded is not a big deal as long as you get used to it.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly thought about how Zheng Xiu had scolded her bloody three days ago in front of all the civil and military officials.

"But we can't just let him go. Doesn't he want to make a name for himself? It just so happens that the Ministry of Works is missing a director, so let's put him in the Ministry of Works."

"Let's see if he can become an indestructible knife in my hand."

After all, there is a difference between scolding behind your back and scolding in front of your face.

After the empress finished speaking, she put aside the matter about Zheng Xiu, and then began to review other memorials.

After all, she is not good at governing the country. If she cannot handle national policies quickly, then she should spend more time.

Eunuch Li also slowly walked out of the palace door backwards and closed the palace door smoothly.

A little eunuch walked quickly to Li Yuan's side and whispered.

"Godfather, someone offers a thousand taels to buy Zheng Xiu... click"

Speaking of this, the little eunuch made a gesture on his neck with his hand.

But he didn't expect that before he finished his action, Eunuch Li slapped him on the back of the head.

"One thousand taels."

"Snapped!"

"One thousand taels."

"Snapped!"

"One thousand taels."

"Snapped!"

Eunuch Li hit him three times in a row, but he still seemed a little upset.

So he gave the little eunuch a hard kick and then said.

"Do you know whose slave you are?"

"I... am my godfather's slave?"

"Pa, fool, you are the Holy Sage's slave."

"But……"

"It's nothing good, you want to die, but I, your godfather, don't want to die yet!"

Eunuch Li waved the edict inside, and then said.

"Remember, it doesn't matter how much money you get, just enjoy it when it's time to enjoy it. For us, it doesn't matter."

"But you have to remember one thing firmly, that is, we are all slaves of the Holy One."

"This edict is to save Mr. Zheng. I'm still here as your godfather. I can help you with whatever you do."

"If I die, I believe we will meet again in the underworld in less than two days."

Eunuch Li lamented that his godson was not living up to expectations and walked towards the prison.

It is normal for a eunuch to raise a godson. When people are really good in a certain aspect, they will work hard to make up for it.

This father-son relationship is also a very important promotion channel among eunuchs.

At this moment, he was in a hurry to read the edict, but he didn't see the gloom in his godson's eyes.

"Godfather, isn't the empress very angry? Why did she transfer him to the Ministry of Industry?"

The little eunuch rubbed the back of his head, then looked very curious.

"There are so many twists and turns here. Do you know how many things the Ministry of Industry has to do every day?"

"Building bridges and roads, constructing palaces, various magic circles, and manufacturing weapons are all tasks of the Ministry of Industry."

"There are hundreds of officials, big and small, and if each person only takes a small amount, it is still a huge shortfall."

"At that time, Mr. Zheng will have only two choices, either to join in the evil and give up the clear name he dreams of."

"Either this, Mr. Zheng will become His Highness's sword and kill this snake-rat-laden Ministry of Works."

"Whenever you see something in the future, think more and talk less. Even if there is a silver ingot lying on the ground at your fingertips, it may not be something you can afford."

The two people were talking and had already arrived at the door of the prison.

Naturally, the jailer would bring these two angels to Zheng Xiu's cell door.

"Master Zheng, please accept the order."

Zheng Xiu was indeed a little confused at this time. People are about to die and they still need to pick up paper?

Connect the paper? What kind of paper? The yellow paper used for visiting graves?

"Zheng Xiu of the Hanlin Academy has no respect for his superiors, speaks arrogant words, and has lost etiquette in front of the palace."

"However, considering that he was a first-time offender and devoted himself to serving the people, he was exempted from the death penalty and was demoted to the head of the Ministry of Industry for observation. I appreciate this."

As Eunuch Li spoke, he handed this imperial edict to Zheng Xiu.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zheng for being exempted from the death penalty. Please accept the order, Mr. Zheng."

At this time, Zheng Xiucai took over the imperial edict handed over by Eunuch Li as if he had woken up from a dream.

"Master Zheng, then we will return to the palace first."

Wait, are you exempt from the death penalty?

No, when you come back, this will be the end of it?

What's going on, am I not going to be able to become the Great Emperor of Merit?

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu was so anxious that she was almost speechless.

Are you kidding? I've been looking forward to this night in vain!

"My dear friend, congratulations. As far as I know, there are only two people who can escape from this prison alive."

"One was the chief assistant in the 116th year of the lunar calendar. He was imprisoned for being implicated in the prince's case. Later, due to the needs of state affairs, the emperor pardoned his guilt."

"A general who lived in the 44th year of the lunar calendar was imprisoned for being involved in a rebellion case. He was later proven innocent and was released."

"And you are the third person."

The old man who drank Zheng Xiu's green ant wine congratulated Zheng Xiu and took two more sips of the wine.

"I don't drink this wine for free. I'll give you a piece of advice. If you can go out, it must be someone who has had your thoughts. When doing things in the future, think more about that person."

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't care about Zheng Xiu who was taken away.

I tightened my clothes and hugged a bundle of straw before I started to sleep.

"That one", who is that?

Is the current Holy Emperor the empress who is known as the most stupid?

Can I still alarm the emperor? Then can I ask her to take back her life?

Zheng Xiu complained in his heart for a long time, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, they are not on the same level as him. Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.

Although he has survived for the time being, it doesn't matter because he has set a small goal in his heart to die for justice.

Maybe it's hard to live, but isn't it easy to just seek death?

If he died because he said the wrong thing, it would be very inconsistent with his goals.

Zheng Xiu thought as he was sent home by a carriage.

Looking at the small courtyard with clear windows, Zheng Xiu's eyelids twitched a little.

This shabby yard is not to mention a shelter from the wind and rain. It is estimated that if the strong wind blows, it will collapse if you don't protect it.

Zheng Xiu just packed up his things and started preparing to go to court.

After all the noisy night, it was already dark.
