Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

When they walked into the Yamen, everyone's eyes were focused on them. Chu Qingyan even felt the faint expectant eyes of many officials.

Um?

Did Chu Qingyan have a doubt in her heart?

Are these officials expecting their own arrival?

Without much thought, Chu Qingyan and her group had already stepped into the center of the lobby.

"Meet the princess!"

Due to Chu Qingyan's current status, all the officials respected her no matter what their opinions were.

Chu Qingyan glanced at the dead Liu Lei, showed a hint of anger, and glanced at the officials.

The officials lowered their heads slightly. They knew why Chu Qingyan was angry.

Chu Qingyan glared at some officials at Li Yuan and said, "Your Highness, Liu Lei was killed by the Lu family!"

"The reputation of my men was also framed by them."

Uh-huh!

All the officials looked at Chu Qingyan in shock.

"Wow!" Chu Qingyan's voice was so loud that the people outside the government office also heard it.

"Impossible!" The officials named Lu who were glared at by Chu Qingyan stood up one by one.

"Your Highness, our Lu family has never done this. The princess framed us and others."

One man threw his hands in anger.

The male official of the Lu family glared at Chu Qingyan and said:

"Princess, we respect you as the princess, but we must provide evidence when we speak. Our Lu family is pure and innocent, how can we accept such insults."

"Please, Your Highness, seek justice for our Lu family!"

tread! tread!

Four or five officials stood up and shouted in unison.

Zhou Qiuya, who was beside Chu Qingyan, snorted coldly and stepped forward:

"Oh, evidence, of course we have the evidence you want, unlike some people who only frame us for no reason!"

Zhou Qiuya held a shadow stone in both hands, took two steps forward, and said loudly:

"Your Highness, this is the evidence we found. It records the Lu family's Lu Yuanhua stealing the granary."

boom!

Everyone was shocked, staring closely at the photo stone in Zhou Qiuya's hand, and glanced at the Lu family officials and Chen Wei from the corner of their eyes.

The eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Yuanhua, is the deputy lieutenant of the army guard.

His Highness showed his trust in Chen Wei just now, but now he was slapped in the face.

Some officials thought astutely that the guard of Xicheng Town these days is Lu Yuanhua!

If Chu Qingyan dares to take it out at this time, nineteen eighty-nine is true.

The Lu family officials opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.

Impossible, impossible.

They murmured, still unwilling to believe it.

The armrest of Chen Wei's seat on the right was crushed by him. His eyes were sharp. If Li Yuan hadn't been on top, he would have taken the photo stone over and looked at it.

"oh?"

Li Yuan was sitting in the high hall, looking at the photo stone in Zhou Qiuya's hand with a hint of surprise, inspecting the officials with different expressions, and finally said:

"I am always fair. Since it is evidence, let's all come together to argue whether it is true or false!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhou Qiuya's inner energy poured into the shadow stone from both hands, and the shadow stone was immediately activated, and a picture appeared in the lobby.

Everyone stared at the screen with bright eyes.

On the screen, the night sky was dark, and the scene of a group of black-clad soldiers secretly pulling a batch of grain away from the back door of the Xicheng Granary slowly unfolded before their eyes. The leader, Lu Yuanhua, was unabashedly exposed in the night sky.

hiss!

Many officials took a breath when they saw Lu Yuanhua's face.

What a courage!

He stole things and showed his face so openly.

The arrogance and domineering nature of the Lu family was clearly demonstrated.

When several officials of the Lu family saw Lu Yuanhua, they had confused looks in their eyes, and soon a cold air came out from the soles of their feet, and they trembled in their hearts. It was really their Lu family who did it.

Looking at Lu Yuanhua's undisguised face, he cursed in his heart, what the hell, he is a complete idiot.

If he had covered his face, they would still have some excuses.

So fucking stupid!

Bang!

Chen Wei's breath leaked out, and the seat behind him exploded.

"Haha, what does Commander Chen have in mind now?"

Li Yuan's face was expressionless and he looked at Chen Wei with a faint look, the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.

"Bang!"

Chen Wei clasped his fists tightly, lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I have no knowledge of this matter!"

"I don't know, haha,

Commander Chen, you have let me down. "

Li Yuan no longer looked at Chen Wei, who had not stood up, but turned to look at the officials and said:

"Everyone, do you think this image stone is real or fake?"

The officials looked at each other. There were people from the Lin family, the Wang family, and the Liu family. They all took a step forward and said respectfully:

"Report to Your Highness, the evidence is conclusive that Lu Yuanhua stole 100,000 shi of grain. He is guilty of a heinous crime. He must be arrested and brought to justice!"

"Then who do you think you should send to arrest Lu Yuanhua?"

Li Yuan's calm eyes glanced at the Lu family officials.

The Lu family official was sweating profusely, his legs were trembling, and his face was pale.

The officials finally looked at the most powerful arrester in the government office, Wang arrester, Wang Yan of the Wang family.

Wang Yan looks majestic, like a middle-aged man, with powerful arms.

"Your Highness, I would like to arrest Lu Yuanhua and bring him to justice."

Wang Yan's rich voice sounded.

"Wang Captou, please imprison these officials first."

Li Yuan pointed to a Lu family official aside, then looked at Chen Wei and said in a low tone:

"Commander Chen, bring Lu Yuanhua here. I hope you won't let me down again this time."

Chen Wei suddenly raised his head, feeling moved in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will go to the Lu family to arrest Lu Yuanhua now!"

Chen Wei bid farewell to Li Yuan and quickly walked out of the government office. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers beside him mounted their horses and followed Chen Wei to the Lu family.

When Mr. Wang escorted these Lu family officials away, the hall was silent, and all the officials bowed their heads in silence. Everyone knew that the capital city was about to be shaken.

Chu Qingyan won!

"Princess, I am very curious about this evidence. I wonder where I found it?"

Li Yuan looked at the photo stone on the desk handed by Zhou Qiuya and asked curiously.

All the officials also raised their heads, their eyes full of curiosity.

According to the angle at which the photo stone is displayed, the person whose photo was taken from the photo stone should be in the same group as Lu Yuanhua.

The corners of Chu Qingyan's mouth curled up and she said proudly:

"Your Highness, the next thing I want to say is the second thing I want to say. The person who provided me with the evidence was a commander under Lu Yuanhua. When he was taken to the granary by Lu Yuanhua to steal grain that night, he knew that Lu Yuanhua asked them to do what he wanted to do. What."

"This person has a righteous heart. When he saw that Lu Yuanhua let them steal the granary, he was disgusted. He secretly recorded it with a photo stone. He wanted to expose Lu Yuanhua's ugly things to the world. He couldn't let one hundred thousand stones of grain be lost, so he found me."

"Because he was also a thief at the time, but he had justice in his heart and dared to expose Lu Yuanhua to prevent the loss of one hundred thousand shi of food. Therefore, I would like to ask His Highness to forgive his sin."

"Okay, if it hadn't been for him, I don't know how long it would have taken for the granary theft case to be solved, and the heinous criminal Lu Yuanhua would not have been caught. Not only did he have no fault, but he also made meritorious deeds."

Li Yuan praised:

"This king will reward you for your merits!"

"Zhou Chen, come in, His Highness has pardoned you."

As Chu Qingyan's voice sounded, the people outside the government office once again made way.

Zhou Chen quickly walked into the government office lobby.

"The guilty general Zhou Chen pays homage to His Highness the King of Chu."

"Zhou Chen, you are a meritorious general, but now is not the time to reward you. I ask you, do you know where one hundred thousand stones of food are now?"

Li Yuan knew that now was not the time for small talk. He had found the thief, and the next step was to get the food back.

"The general will know!"

"good!"

"Prefect Mo, you and Wang Captou are now following Zhou Chen to bring back one hundred thousand shi of grain."
