Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Chen Jingge and said,""Are you sure you want to take me there?"
"The truth will be revealed once we go," said Chen Jingge.”
Zhu Yuanzhang heard everything Chen Jingge said and then turned his eyes to Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen immediately said,"Your Majesty, he's right. This way, we can get more information from Hu Weiyong!"”
"Good! "Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang open his mouth.
When they arrived at the prison, Hu Weiyong was already sitting by the toilet and pouring himself water.
This time, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were stunned.
Of course, they knew that it was used for washing.
But now, Hu Weiyong was drinking this water again.
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to rush forward, but he was stopped by Liu Bowen.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come back to his senses, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Chen Jingge walked past Hu Weiyong and he heard Chen Jingge's footsteps.
"Chen Jingge, are you going to let me go?”
"How is that possible? It's only been a few days. How can I let you off?”
"Then why are you here?" he asked angrily. Let me tell you, when I leave here, your black veil hat will be taken off. If I don't personally bring you down, wouldn't I be wasting my time as prime minister?”
Chen Jingge stared into his eyes and said slowly,""Hu Weiyong! My official position was given to you by His Majesty. If you want to take it off, you have to ask His Majesty!”
Hu Weiyong glared at him and said coldly," Just wait and see! At that time, let's see if you can still keep this position!”
At this moment, an angry voice sounded,""Impudent!"
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he immediately reacted and looked around the corner in disbelief.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out from inside with an angry expression on his face. Beside him was Liu Bowen, looking calm and collected.
Hu Weiyong immediately said in disbelief,"Your Majesty…
Liu Bowen immediately said,"Your Majesty, this Hu Weiyong is simply too arrogant!"”
"Emperor, I just…"
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him in exasperation,"Hu Weiyong! You actually dare to use your official position for personal gain! I heard your conversation!"
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he was suddenly stunned. He said in confusion,"Where did this water come from?“
" Of course," Chen Jingge said slowly," from the toilet, which is also the 'latrine.'“
Hu Weiyong immediately began to vomit, but he soon realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was still beside him.
He pointed directly at Chen Jingge." You deliberately framed me!”
"Why should I frame you?"
"You…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and shouted,"Hu Weiyong, you disappoint me!"”
Hu Weiyong immediately knelt on the ground and said,"Your Majesty, my loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen by heaven and earth! But this person blatantly bribed him. I saw him take sixty taels of silver with my own eyes!”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned his gaze to Chen Jingge.
However, Chen Jingge's expression was very calm and not anxious at all. Even Zhu Yuanzhang could not decide whether he should believe Hu Weiyong or not.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, Hu Weiyong continued,"Emperor, I can guarantee you with my life that all of this is true!”
Liu Bowen saw Zhu Yuanzhang hesitating and immediately said,"Emperor, we can investigate this matter first before making a decision.”
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen, Chen Jingge spoke. This sentence stunned everyone.
"He's right, I took sixty taels of silver.”
"This is no small matter! Don't spout nonsense!" Liu Bowen said hurriedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already recovered from his shock. Seeing Chen Jingge speak with a serious expression, he did not realize his mistake at all. The anger in his heart burned even more.
Hu Weiyong saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was not right and quickly said,"Emperor, look, he said it himself! I didn't frame him!"
"Prime Minister Hu only knows about the sixty taels of silver I took, right?" Chen Jingge continued.“
"You mean, these sixty taels of silver aren't considered bribes?" Hu Weiyong quickly said.”
Liu Bowen also looked at Chen Jingge with confusion.
"May I ask if I can meet someone in private?”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand what Chen Jingge was saying and glanced at him.""Of course you can."
"In that case, it's only natural that I don't want to see anyone, right?”
Hu Weiyong was baffled and said,"What do you mean?"
Chen Jingge looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said," The reason why I took the money was because I didn't want anyone to disturb me! However, there was something else going on!”
"Not only am I a magistrate, but I'm also a businessman! "After he finished speaking, he turned to Hu Weiyong. "That's for business!“
This sentence was like a heavy blow to Hu Weiyong's head!
He stared at Chen Jingge, his voice trembling.""You're actually a merchant?"
Chen Jingge didn't wait for him to finish and said slowly,""You might not know this, but more than 90% of the shops in Fengyang City are mine!”
