I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 596

Chapter 596: Chapter 229 Chen Mo: The Three-Surnamed Servant Like Me Has Plenty of People Above!

"This piece of evidence points out that the doctor from the Ritual Department, the doctor from the Ministry of Finance, the Extraordinary Minister from the Fengtian Bureau, the Chief from the Directly Affiliated Department... and several other officials from the Six Ministries are involved in abuse of power, bribery, selling of positions and titles, and have close ties with the Princely Heir Chu Heng, raising suspicions of forming factions!"

"I beseech Your Majesty to see clearly!"

Chen Zhuo’s voice rang out, echoing in the grand hall.

The ministers were momentarily bewildered.

The names Chen Zhuo mentioned, although mostly not high-ranking, were all key officials in the Six Ministries. If this matter is proven true, it might trigger a severe political upheaval!

Behind the bamboo curtain, the Empress furrowed her brows.

Today, she was fully prepared, determined to protect Chen Mo at all costs, yet she didn’t expect Chen Zhuo to drop such a bombshell!

"Present it here."

"Yes."

Eunuch Jin descended from the high platform, took the evidence, and handed it to the Empress.

The Empress carefully reviewed the papers in her hand, her expression gradually becoming somewhat peculiar.

The so-called evidence was quite detailed, far from fabricated, but it still wasn’t quite enough to convict, lacking some crucial links...

"Just where did these things come from?"

"Is it due to insufficient evidence, or is it deliberate?"

"Or could it be that Chen Zhuo simply wants to muddy the waters to help exonerate Chen Mo?"

The Empress’s mind was restless.

The grand hall was utterly silent, a pin-drop could be heard, as the sound of pages being flipped emanated from behind the bamboo curtain, the ministers of the Six Ministries had their hearts in their throats.

Originally thinking that dealing with Chen Mo would be an easy task, they never anticipated that Chen Zhuo had such a hidden move, and actually turned the tables in open court!

After a long while, the Empress’s cold voice came from behind the curtain:

"Well, well, well, unexpected gains!"

"Lord Yan, Mr. Cui, don’t you have anything you’d like to explain to the court?"

This statement made the ministers’ faces suddenly change!

Yan Peizhi shivered, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, I swear I have no connection to the Barbarian Slave Case!"

Cui Hao hastily added: "I know nothing about the leaking of the city defense map, I humbly ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and prove my innocence!"

"Ha, you think you can clear yourself with just claiming ignorance?" The Empress sneered and said, "If this matter is truly related to Zhu Qiming, you, as the Capital Mayor, cannot escape blame!"

"Your Majesty!"

Cui Hao’s knees buckled at the words, collapsing to the ground.

The crime committed by the Zhou Family is treason; if connected to this case, the Cui Family might be caught completely off guard!

"And regarding the issue of corruption and dereliction of duty in the Six Ministries, I will investigate thoroughly as well!"

"Some people eat the court’s salary but do not consider serving the nation, rampant greed, do you truly think I am blind to your deeds?"

Bam!
