I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642: Chapter 245: The Empress Baby’s Background! Massage First, Bath Later!_2

"The Spring Examination Leak from two years ago?!"

"Clearly, this matter was concluded with everything cleaned up. How has it suddenly been brought up again?!"

The contents recorded in this Jade Scroll are very detailed, including the entire process of how Yan Peizhi obtained the exam questions from the Assistant Minister of Rites and leaked them to numerous Jiangnan scholars!

Bribery, favoritism, collusion for personal gain...

The sum of these crimes is far more severe than the Barbarian Slave Case!

"Besides, I also have a few pieces of correspondence between Vice Minister Yan and Vice Minister Feng."

"The two used the pretext of donating funds for charity to sell official positions for profit. The current Chief of the Ministry of Justice attained his position this way."

Chen Mo, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said, "Now, Mr. Zhuang still thinks there’s an issue with my arrest?"

Zhuang Jingming showed no expression, but cold sweat was already seeping from the back of his neck.

These inside stories, Yan Linghu couldn’t possibly know. How could Chen Mo investigate so thoroughly in just three days?!

"Mr. Zhuang?"

"Cough, cough, Mr. Chen is indeed a divine detective, able to dig up a case from two years ago. Truly the best of the Sky Scale Guard." Zhuang Jingming came back to his senses, repeatedly praising, though clearly insincere.

"If you want to keep something secret, the best way is not to do it." Chen Mo glanced at him, in a teasing tone, "Mr. Zhuang, who cherishes his reputation so much, surely would avoid any ties with the Yan Family, right?"

"..."

Zhuang Jingming’s expression stiffened a bit, forcing a smile, "Of course..."

"Alright, I need to understand the details of this case thoroughly, so I won’t detain Mr. Zhuang any longer." The Empress spoke coldly, issuing an unceremonious dismissal.

Sun Senior Palace Lady approached Zhuang Jingming, reaching out her hand, "Chief Minister, please."

Zhuang Jingming said nothing more, placing the Jade Scroll on the table, standing up to bow, "I take my leave, Your Majesty."

With that, he followed Sun Senior Palace Lady out of Zhao Hua Palace.

The two walked silently all the way to Qianqing Gate, where Zhuang Jingming bowed his hands, "Senior Palace Lady, please halt."

"Take care, my lord."

Sun Senior Palace Lady stopped, watching his red-robed figure disappear from view, then turned and walked toward the Inner Court.

...

...

Zhuang Jingming left the Imperial Palace, boarding a sedan chair parked by the street.

Inside the chair was a young man dressed in plain white garments, spotless, with a fair, handsome face, brewing tea.

"Mr. Zhuang has returned?"

As soon as Zhuang Jingming sat down, the white-clothed man pushed a steaming teacup in front of him, saying lightly, "By the looks of you, it seems things did not go smoothly?"
