After Xu Yuanmeng finished speaking, the eunuch beside Kangxi walked down the steps, took over the memorial in Xu Yuanmeng's hand, bent down and returned to Kangxi's left, gently placed the memorial on the dragon table, and then quietly retreated to the side.

Looking at the memorial on the Dragon Case and looking at the civil and military officials below, Kangxi sighed and slowly picked up the memorial and watched it carefully. After reading it, Kangxi still said nothing and put the memorial back to the Dragon Case in front of him.

No one saw it. At this moment, a complex look flashed in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi. Then, anger, disappointment, heartache appeared in his eyes, and rubbed his forehead tiredly. Kangxi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a firm look in his eyes.

After the ministers below felt the changes of Kangxi, some people were happy and some were worried. The Crown Prince Yinreng stood beside Kangxi and felt the most obvious. After seeing the firm gaze in Kangxi's eyes, a haze rose in his heart. He looked down and nodded invisibly.

Yinsi also felt the changes in Kangxi. Although he was very surprised, his face did not show any joy. Instead, he was as good as before, but his left hand shook slightly.

Yinzhen, who had been secretly observing the crown prince and Yinreng, seemed to have no idea of ​​anything abnormal when he saw the performance of the two. He continued to lower his head and stood there without saying a word, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Yinsi's hand trembled, a person next to him stood out of his seat, holding a memorial and said, "The Wei-Chi Bahai impeached the Minister of Justice Qi Shiwu to use public power indiscriminately. His second son Qi Ji, who had no fame and reputation, and had no official position. He was able to mobilize more than 100 constables from the Ministry of Justice to Yangzhou for trouble. Please investigate clearly."

As soon as Bahai finished speaking, another minister stood up: "Long live the news, the humble minister Chang Ming impeached Qi Shiwu, the Minister of Justice, to form a party for personal gain, and to cause trouble for the court. Since Qi Shiwu served as Minister of Justice, in order to consolidate his power, he has exclusion of dissidents and promoted his confidants.

Now he promoted half of the officials in the entire Ministry of Justice, and these officials control various important positions in the Ministry of Justice. It can be said that the Ministry of Justice is no longer the Ministry of Justice of the court, but the Ministry of Justice of Qi Shiwu.

Qi Shiwu's move is exactly the same as Soetu and Nalan Mingzhu who had been many years ago. If he was allowed to develop, there might be another Oboi in this dynasty. Wan Wang Zuo thoroughly investigate this evil thief."

At this time, Kangxi had read the memorials of the three of them. After reading them, he said in a plain tone: "I have read the contents of the three of you. The memorial lists the evils that Qi Shiwu did in detail. Xu Yuanmeng, the contents of your impeachment are the most shocking. Do you have any evidence for the contents of the impeachment?"

After hearing this, Xu Yuanmeng took out another memorial from his sleeve: "Long live the report, Weichen and others did not know about the sins that Qi Shiwu had done before. This matter could be revealed to the world, which was the credit of a small constable.

The man was Liu Hua, the ninth-rank constable who was granted by Wansui. Some time ago, Liu Hua checked a gambling house called Jubao Pavilion in Yangzhou Prefecture, and then inspected the largest Qinglou Zhaifang Building in Yangzhou Prefecture several times. Originally, this was just a normal office behavior of the government, but unexpectedly, Liu Hua's actions caused dissatisfaction with Qi Shiwu's second son Qi Ji.

A few days ago, Qi Ji wore a yellow jacket and privately transferred 109 constables from the Ministry of Justice and 120 horses to Yangzhou to cause trouble. After arriving in Yangzhou, they had a conflict with the local constables. During the conflict, Liu Hua injured 109 constables from Qi Ji alone.

Later, Liu Hua wanted to arrest Qi Ji on charges of obstructing official duties, but he was blocked by Yangzhou Tongzhi Li Jianling. In order to protect Qi Ji, Li Jianling actually mobilized the officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou City Mass Camp. Later, Yangzhou Prefect Huang Baishan sent someone to take Qi Ji away. Because of Li Jianling's abnormal reaction, Huang Baishan sent Liu Hua to hand Qi Ji over to the capital and sent it to the Nine Gate Admiral Longkodo.

After hearing this, Weichen felt very strange, so he sent someone to interrogate Qi Ji. After interrogation, Weichen then learned about Qi Shiwu's crime. After listening to Qi Ji's confession, Weichen was really shocked. According to Qi Ji's confession, Qi's family has operated industries in various prosperous cities across the country over the years, and Qi's family has used those industries to earn at least 80 million taels of silver."

"Hiss..." When Xu Yuanmeng said this, all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace took a breath. They were all frightened by this amount. The ministers looked at Qi Shiwu in surprise.

After seeing all the reactions of the officials, Xu Yuanmeng paused and continued: "In order to achieve the effect of business monopoly, Qi Shiwu used his power to frame his competitors, forced his business, and maliciously suppressed his peers. As long as someone dared to question Qi's industry, they would arrest the other party, so that many merchants would rather operate at a loss than compete with Qi's family. This was a confession signed by Qiji, which was accompanied by the details of Qi's industry across the country."

Standing in the top leader, Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that these people were just impeaching Qi Shiwu for corruption, making money, eliminating dissidents, and using public power indiscriminately. He did not point out any other things.

He looked at Yinsi below coldly, then looked at Yinzhen on the other side. Yinreng said hatefully, "Hmph... The fourth and eighth brothers, since you are doing so, don't blame me for being vicious. If Qi Shiwu falls, you two have to take off your skin. If you want to make trouble, we will make a big fuss."

When Yinzhen heard Xu Yuanmeng's words, a hint of coldness flashed across his face. He originally wanted to hide behind him and watch Yinsi and the prince fight, but he didn't expect that Yinsi was not stupid. He took advantage of the conflict between Liu Hua and Qi Ji to give the credit to Liu Hua and Huang Baishan a little, and then forced him into it.

After listening to Xu Yuanmeng's impeachment and seeing the evidence raised in his hand, Qi Shiwu knew that he was finished. His current plan was to act according to the plan agreed with the prince before. He looked at Yinsi and Yinzhen resentfully. Qi Shiwu took the initiative to go out and knelt down, and then he burst into tears in pain:

"Long live to forgive me, the old minister is confused. I know the crime. The old minister dares not defend the content of the impeachment of Lord Xu, the old minister, and I just hope that Long live to make meritorious service and give me a chance."

After hearing this, Kangxi slapped the table suddenly, then pointed at Qi Shiwu with his finger, and said angrily: "A bastard, commit such a heinous crime, do you still have the face to pretend to behave and make meritorious in punishment? Even if you save all the ghosts in hell to the West, it will not be able to offset your sins."

"Long live to calm down. For the sake of the old ministers' long stay, please give them a chance to atone for their sins. Although these old ministers have earned a lot of dirty silver by their official positions, a large part of the silver was bribed by the old ministers to some colleagues and local officials. Some ministers in the court were bribed by the old ministers themselves, while the local officials and officials in charge of the local management industry were bribed by the local officials.

After these officials accepted the money bribed by the old minister, they all turned a blind eye to the old minister's behavior. Some officials had some investments in the old minister's place, and some even took the initiative to help the old minister suppress their competitors. The old minister was willing to expose and expose all of these officials."

After saying that, Qi Shiwu took out a thick list from his arms: "This list records the names of officials who have received bribes from old ministers. It records the date, location, and amount of bribes from old ministers and their subordinates clearly. Please read it."
