Detective Ghost Empress

Chapter 484: Send Liu Hui Ying to the cold palace

The officials saw Zhai Tianyu's expression changing and slowly turning dark and immediately had different reactions. While the officials of Ji Yang fraction cheered up, the one in Liu Dong Ming's fraction turned sullen. They all turned to glare at Liu Yu Nan.

Just as Ji Yang thought no one believed that Liu Yu Nan did not steal the gold taels. Liu Yu Nan was known for his corrupt activities but he had only done small corruption till now, who would have thought that Liu Yu Nan would suddenly grow the guts of a tiger and he would actually steal so many gold taels? He even blamed it on the sea pirates who were rumoured to be targeting the officials.

But no one saw the sea pirates!

Who was he trying to fool?

Only Liu Dong Ming could see through Zhai Tianyu's thought process and was speechless. Was his daughter a demon? Why was this man acting as if she was going to eat him alive? Where was his majesty as the Emperor? Scared of his wife? A sixteen-year-old girl?

His daughter was not even grown up yet! In the eyes of Liu Dong Ming who had been alive for thousands of years, his daughter was still a baby!

" Young mistress was the one who caused the Emperor to lie on the bed with an unspeakable disease, master," behind him, his ghost servant whispered in Liu Dong Ming's ear.

A few days ago, Liu Dong Ming was worried that the Ji family decided to make a move on Zhai Tianyu and thus sent him to investigate. And the result of the investigation was —— Don't make your wife angry.

Liu Dong Ming: "..." Well his daughter inherited her mother's temper perfectly.

" We request your majesty!"

Zhai Tianyu clenched his fingers tightly on the armrest of the throne. He hated this feeling of being cornered but he could not fight back, he was not strong enough to do so yet!

He turned to look at Liu Dong Ming and asked, " Prime Minister Liu, do you have something to say?"

Liu Dong Ming looked at Liu Yu Nan who refused to say anything and his eyes flashed with annoyance but he suppressed his feelings as this was not the first time he had seen something like this, he lowered his head and bowed his head in front of Zhai Tianyu before saying, " This minister dare not, your majesty."

As the prime minister, he had long learned the lesson of retreating only to advance further. He knew that Ji Yang played his hand really well this time, how he caused the forty thousand taels to vanish, he had no idea for the time being but that does not mean that he would never be able to catch the fox tail of this rival of his.

" I will investigate this matter and bring the forty thousand taels to the court, Your Majesty," stated Liu Dong Ming, his eyes frigid and voice neutral as if his entire clan was not on the verge of losing their lives. " Since our loyalty has been questioned, I will do everything in my power to prove myself and my nephew innocent just give me three days, your majesty."

As he spoke Liu Dong Ming took off his official tally and placed it in the tray that was brought forward by Eunuch Li. Once Liu Dong Ming took off his official Tally the rest of the Liu family did the same, they would rather choose to hand in their tallies instead of being forcefully suspended!

They had their pride as well.

Even Liu Yu Nan handed over his official tally.

Seeing their actions, Zhai Tianyu felt his head throb. Since Liu Dong Ming chose to retreat there was no other choice left for him either.

" The officials of the Liu family are hereby suspended and the Empress, her majesty will be sent to the Cold Palace, if the Liu family fails to prove their innocence then their clansmen will be sent for immediate execution and," he paused before closing his eyes as he continued coldly, " The Empress would be dethroned."
