Zhao Huan put down the memorial in his hand and glanced at Xu Hui.
This guy's ability to do things was quite good.
Lin Chong had reported to Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen, so he must have received Xu Hui's advice.
Otherwise, Chong Lin might not have done such a thing.
When Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen heard that Lin Chong was going to report the Emperor, they panicked and shouted,"Bad news!"
Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen were not fools. They knew very well what they had done to Lin Chong.
At this time, Lin Chong said that he wanted to report the emperor. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to find trouble with him?
But so what if he knew? Gao Qiu and Young Master Gao were very impressive in front of Lin Chong, but in front of the Emperor, Zhao Huan, they had no right to be impudent.
Zhao Huan glanced at Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen and asked Lin Chong,""Chong Lin, who are you going to sue? Tell me about it. As long as the situation is true, I will help you!”
Hearing Zhao Huan's words, Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen felt a chill run down their spines.
"It's over, isn't the emperor clearly on Lin Chong's side? Today's matter is troublesome!”
With Zhao Huan's permission, Lin Chong was filled with confidence as he recounted everything that Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen had done in one breath.
Even though Zhao Huan already knew about Lin Chong's matter, he still had to put on an act.
After hearing Lin Chong's story, Zhao Huan slammed the table and questioned Gao Qiu sternly,"
"Gao Qiu, Young Master Gao, the two of you tell me that what Lin Chong said is the truth. Tell me the truth. If you dare to hide the truth, I will not let you off easily!”
Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen hurriedly shouted when they saw Zhao Huan go berserk and kneel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent. This Lin Chong is twisting the truth. He barged into my house for no reason, beat my son, and injured my son. This matter is absolutely true. There are servants in my residence who can testify.”
"Your Majesty, I was beaten up by Chong Lin for no reason and was injured badly. Please seek justice for me!”
Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen's son wailed in denial. Zhao Huan sneered and questioned Lin Chong,""Lin Chong, do you have any witnesses to prove that this Young Master Gao molested your wife? You must know that falsely accusing an important official of the Imperial Court is a capital crime!”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this lowly official can prove that Young Master Gao had indeed teased Lady Lin that day!”
At this moment, Xu Hui stood out. He could tell that Zhao Huan was obviously using Lin Chong to get rid of Gao Qiu and Young Master Gao.
Since that was the case, Xu Hui felt that it was time to show his loyalty. He might as well help Lin Chong braid Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen's hair.
Even though the risk of doing so was extremely high, if he was mistaken, it would be a perjured testimony, a major crime of deceiving the emperor, and he would be beheaded.
However, Xu Hui knew that he had to do this. If he could not completely obtain Zhao Huan's trust, then his position as the Imperial City's Director would definitely be unstable.
And Zhao Huan also did not expect that this Xu Hui would actually help Lin Chong commit perjury. Was this fellow handing over a pledge of allegiance?
He was quite sensitive to politics.
When Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen saw Xu Hui stand out and testify for Lin Chong, they were instantly dumbfounded.
Who are you? We don't seem to know each other, do we? When did you see us doing bad things? Why didn't the two of us know?
Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen were not stupid people. They were smart people. The two of them had already guessed that Xu Hui was probably someone the Emperor had deliberately arranged for.
Did he dare to refute this person's words at this time?
Of course, he had to retort. If he didn't, he would die even faster.
Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen knew that this was a trap, but they had no choice but to jump in.
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you can't just listen to one side of the story. Don't believe the rumors!”
Zhao Huan ignored the cries of Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen and asked Xu Hui.
"Xu Hui, show me your evidence. If you dare to perjure yourself, I will not let you off easily!”
Xu Hui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Huan's question. He knew that he had made the right bet, so he hurriedly told him everything he knew.
Zhao Huan had already heard what Xu Hui said earlier.
Xu Hui said it again in front of Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen just to make them submit.
After Xu Hui finished speaking, Zhao Huan pointed at Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen and berated,
"Gao Qiu, Young Master Gao, you two bastards! How dare you do such a terrible thing! As a Grand Marshal, you actually ignored your son when he saw him harassing a woman from a good family. Not only that, but you even imprisoned the victim's family members in Kaifeng Prefecture.”
Gao Qiu and Gao Yamen were also dumbfounded. Everything Xu Hui said was exactly the same as what they had done. There was no room for excuses.
Gao Qiu hurriedly pleaded," Your Majesty, this humble subject knows my mistake. This humble subject is willing to bear the punishment for my son's mistake. Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"”
Gao Yamen was also panicking. Usually, he relied on his father's reputation to do evil, but in front of the Emperor, he did not even dare to fart.
He could only kneel down and beg for mercy, asking Zhao Huan to forgive him.
Looking at Gao Qiu and Young Master Gao kneeling on the ground, Zhao Huan ordered coldly,""Young Master Gao, you are ignorant and incompetent. You have committed all kinds of crimes and bullied men and women. You are simply unpardonable. You can be exempted from death, but you cannot escape punishment. Men, hand Young Master Gao over to Li Gang and enlist him into the city guarding army to defend the city for me!”
When Gao Qiu heard that his only foster son was being sent to defend the city, he felt that he was simply sending himself to his death.
"Your Majesty, my son is my only adopted son. Please spare my son's life, Your Majesty!" Gao Qiu pleaded.”
"Gao Qiu, if your son's life is a life, then what about the lives of the Imperial Guards?" Zhao Huan snorted coldly. Your son's life is precious, but other people's lives are cheap? What a bastard! Men, drag him out!"
Gao Yamen, who was crying, was dragged out by the guards outside the hall. Whether he lived or died depended on his creation.
Zhao Huan looked at Gao Qiu, who was paralyzed on the ground. He was about to make the first move on Gao Qiu, a powerful subordinate of Zhao Ji.
"As for you, Gao Qiu, as the Grand Commandant, you connived at your own family to commit crimes, disregarding the law, and corrupted the court. From today onwards, you will be stripped of your position as Grand Commandant and handed over to the Kaifeng Prefecture for investigation.”
