"Oh, I got it." Tang Sha is still holding grudges. These people said bad things about Que Ling some time ago.

"You can do it, I didn't expect you to have a bit of a temper." The man bumped Tang Sha's elbow.

"So, it's better not to mess with me." Since Shi Jin has become someone on his side, he has nothing to show off in this cell.

That group of people also found that this person was different from when he first arrived. How could a person change so much in such a short period of time?

Shi Jin also felt that Tang Sha was lucky enough to survive such a chaotic scene that day without any injuries. Could she know how to use martial arts?

During this period, Tang Sha was prospering, and Xiao Shiyi said that Chen Ting had come to let him get involved in some government affairs.

Although the son of the Minister of Punishment said that Tang Sha should stay for one more month, he sent quilts and other things the next day. Of course, he said that every female prisoner would have a new quilt.

Not only that, I don’t know how much the food has improved. There are also big fish and meat.

Tang Sha was a little confused. Is the treatment as a prisoner so good now? Or... Ye Xuanyuan is back?

When Tang Sha thought of this, he immediately sat up. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

When he was in the slums, someone protected him. Chen Yingjie bullied him and then he was castrated.

All of this is enough to prove that Ye Xuanyuan is back. The secondary capital is not very far from the imperial city.

Now the war in the north has subsided somewhat due to the plague.

It is normal for Ye Xuanyuan to come back now.

…

In the end, Tang Sha was not able to stay in the cell for a month because Chen Ting was arrested.

He still didn't stop because he was on the cusp of the storm. The money always belonged to the Chen family.

Therefore, the intensity of his corruption this time was greater than any previous one.

That day, Feng Xuezui brought a person and a contract. The content was exactly the agreement for Xiao Shiyi's sale.

The man confessed on the spot that the money belonged to Chen Ting. Feng Xuezui also testified that he was indeed the person Chen Ting wanted.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, so Xie Chuan immediately led people to investigate the case and arrested Chen Ting. Chen Ting was beaten to death and refused to admit that the money was his.

There is no other way but to go to his house to find someone.

Chen Ting had already planned and asked Huan Zi to hide Xiao Eleven in the secret room. He told Xiao Eleven to keep quiet.

In the end, Xiao Shiyi was found and some things were brought out from the secret room. It was the specific amount of corruption that Chen Ting had committed over the years. It also recorded many people. Why, when, who, and how to divide the money.

Recorded in the book.

The evidence was conclusive and Chen Ting had no defense. Xiao Eleven confessed to the fact that he was bought and sold.

Tang Sha also secretly went to watch the trial that day. This matter was also heard by three courts.

It is also rare for two three-court trials to occur in such a short period of time.

Chen Ting knelt in the courtroom, just lowering his head and not saying a word.

"Bang!" The minister of Dali Temple made a loud noise and spoke sternly: "My lord Chen Ting, you have committed corruption and perverted the law while you were the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. First, you have embezzled and accepted bribes of 80 million taels in total. Second,

Maliciously killing innocent people and disregarding human life. Thirdly, mutilating his brothers and feet, causing his clan brother Chen Qingyang to be stabbed several times. Can you plead guilty?!"

Before the matter was revealed, maybe everyone could turn a blind eye. However, when the matter was exposed in the sun, the stench spread to everyone's nostrils. It made people sick.

In addition to these things, there are many other things, big and small, such as raping young men from good families.

What is the concept of eighty million taels? Even Tang Sha was shocked when he heard this amount. He was just a minister of household affairs and could have such great power.

He alone embezzled 80 million taels, so what a terrible figure it would be for the entire Chen State's officials combined?

But it's still pretty good. For example, He Shen, a famous corrupt official in history, according to statistics, the amount of money he corrupted was as high as 40 billion in modern currency, yes, 400 billion.

So Chen Ting is nothing compared to him.

Let’s think about it from another perspective: Chen Ting has been the Minister of Household Affairs for only a few years.

This time, no one can save it. According to the laws of the country, his behavior will be punished by the nine tribes.

But for the same reason, now that he is an employee of the country, the Chen family cannot fail.

"I... plead guilty." Chen Ting still didn't raise his head, looking down on the expression on his face.

Xiao Eleven knelt next to him as a witness, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to use to face him.

In the previous time, several major events had happened, which were the key to him gaining Chen Ting's trust. One of them was working as a knife for Chen Ting.

They were people from Mo Chuanxiang. Those people were all from the world, and Huan Zi recognized them at a glance.

Xiao Shiyi blocked the knife for Chen Ting, and the wound was horrific.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived in time, allowing Chen Ting to escape the knot.

Chen Ting's hands holding Xiao Eleven that day were shaking. Xiao Eleven didn't understand why Chen Ting valued him to such an extent in such a short period of time.

Chen Ting stayed by Xiao Eleven's side. Later, Xiao Eleven had a fever again and it took two or three days to wake up.

After waking up, he saw Chen Ting lying on the head of his bed, with stubble that looked like he hadn't shaved in a few days.

Xiao Eleven couldn't remember what he was feeling at that time. It was a bit complicated anyway. At that moment, Xiao Eleven felt that Chen Ting was not actually that bad.

Anyway, I remember that when Chen Ting handed the things to Xie Chuan, Chen Ting looked at him with an expression. He was like a wild beast that had been driven crazy, and his eyes were so ferocious that he wanted to eat him alive.

However, underneath that harshness, there is also sadness and despair.

Now in the court, Chen Ting confessed to the crime he committed. He also said that he was the instigator of this matter, and his father Chen Xing had no idea about it.

What happened with Chen Qingyang was also because he was misled by what Shi Jin brought back. He thought Chen Qingyang was going to deal with him, so he wanted to kill him. However, he was saved because of his fate.

The man who saved him had extremely high martial arts skills, and Huan Zi was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back with just one move. It turns out that the gap between people can be so great.

Chen Ting used to think that his martial arts skills were very high, but in front of that person, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pull off a single move.

I thought I was at the top of the food chain, but when I looked back, I realized that this was not a pyramid, but a golden cage.

Keep him from seeing the outside world.

Chen Ting also felt that it was extremely ridiculous that he would fall in love with someone he had only been with for less than a few months. Moreover, he even thought that if he was willing to stay by his side, he would divorce his wife.

Over the years, Xiao Shiyi is the first person who is willing to sacrifice his life for him. Huan Zi does not count, because there is an agreement between them. He is a person who keeps his promises.

Huan Zi has worked hard for him for so many years. He is cruel, but he plans not to be cruel to Huan Zi.

But in the end, why... Xiao Shiyi betrayed him?

Because he is born different from ordinary people, he has to hide from the people around him no matter what he does, and cannot be aboveboard.

People around me point fingers at me. It feels really... uncomfortable. My so-called friends are just based on my status and background.

The person who treated him sincerely had already left when he was a child. At this time, he also realized that Chen Xuan was really dead and that everything was a trap.

He used ruthlessness to cover up his softness, and used suspicion to cover up his insecurity.

When he exposed a little gap in the cocoon that had wrapped his heart for many years, Xiao Shiyi got in unprepared and then attacked the city.

He was finally innocent and stupid for once. He thought that not everyone would have other thoughts about him. If he missed this one, where would he find the next one?

So in the end... haha, he is really ridiculous, he even feels that he looks down on himself.

Everyone present was in a bad mood. Chen Xing didn't show up, and he didn't know where he was. Later, someone said he was begging Ye Chen, and he knelt outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a whole day.

Ye Chen didn't even meet him.

The struggle between Queen Mother Chen and Shilang Ram also came to an end at this time. Queen Mother Chen understood that the Chen family was about to fall.

Is it possible that she doesn't know what the Chen family is doing? It's impossible, she even knows a thing or two about what her nephew has done.

However, Chen Xing was her biological brother, and the Chen family was her home since she was a child. She looked at Chen Xing, the brother who had doted on her when she was a child, kneeling outside, but she couldn't move.

Because she belongs to the Ye family from the moment she married Ye Zhan. She is the head of the harem, and her son is the current emperor. Her son’s surname is Ye!

She could see that her son was a wise king and wanted to be one.

So the first person he attacked was the Chen family. He even dared to attack the Chen family, so who else wouldn’t dare to attack them?

The Chen family may have supported Ye Chen at first, because only by letting Ye Chen become emperor could the Chen family continue to prosper. So they used this relationship and the other people in the court to be afraid of this relationship.

Become unscrupulous.

Ye Chen and Chen Ting also have a considerable affection for each other. They often played together when they were children, and they often bullied other little girls together when they were teenagers.

Slowly, as he grew older, he became the emperor, and Chen Ting was his minister. The relationship between the two became more and more distant, and they finally embarked on their own paths.

There are no absolutely evil people in the world, and there are no absolutely good people. In the beginning, people are inherently good or inherently evil. When it is unclear, they prefer to adopt a moderate attitude.

But Ye Chen feels that in the beginning, human beings are inherently good. All evil is due to the influence of acquired environment.

It is this world that forces people to be selfish and ruthless.

Chen Ting was sentenced to death, and the execution time was in the spring.

Spring has passed halfway without realizing it.

I don’t know when the New Year has passed, but I don’t feel it at all. This may be Tang Sha’s experience of feeling the New Year without feeling the New Year.

There is no atmosphere of joy, but instead it is heavy and depressing. The sky above the imperial city has been shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds during this New Year period.
