Emperor Jianwen frowned even more tightly and gave Eunuch Wan a look.

The latter did not dare to delay, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Sun Shao up, "Old General Sun, if you have anything to say, you should get up first and then say it. You are kneeling, and I don't dare to stand anymore."

With that said, Eunuch Wan was about to kneel down, but was supported by Sun Shao.

Eunuch Wan's eyes flashed and he looked in surprise, why is this old general Sun becoming more powerful?

Didn’t it mean that because of rheumatism, all the strength in the hands and feet was lost?

"You don't have to be like this, Eunuch Wan. I kneel down to Your Majesty."

Sun Shao naturally understood what Eunuch Wan said. He said that Eunuch Wan did not dare to stand. In fact, it was just an excuse. Emperor Jianwen did not want him to kneel.

Eunuch Wan hissed, "Old General Sun, Your Majesty sympathizes with you, why do you have to kneel?"

"The old minister is guilty. This kneeling is what the old minister should do." Sun Shao let go of his hand and looked at Emperor Jianwen, "Your Majesty, when Su Changqing asked to marry the old minister's daughter, I think you still remember what he said at that time."

"I still have some impressions."

Emperor Jianwen nodded, "I remember Su Changqing said that he would only marry one person in his life. I even praised him at that time."

Su Changqing, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head even further.

The hands on the ground also trembled slightly.

"But he has already raised a woman outside and brought her back to the Su Mansion. Under the eyes of the old minister's daughter, he has sex with me!"

When he said this, Sun Shao was really angry and his face turned red.

As soon as these words came out, the room in the Imperial Study suddenly became silent.

The guards, maids, etc. all huddled in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

Su Changqing's hands and feet went limp and he almost collapsed on the ground.

The Sun family really knew about this!

It's not easy to get a rough guy like Sun Shao to say such a decent thing.

Emperor Jianwen coughed lightly and looked at Su Changqing, "Su Hou, is what General Sun said true?"

"Weichen...Weichen is scared!"

Su Changqing lowered his head, but did not dare to answer at all.

Such a reaction fell into the eyes of Emperor Jianwen, and there was something else he didn't know.

He looked at the evidence on the table and sneered, "Su Changqing, I shouldn't be involved in your housework. But can you explain these things to me? If you can't explain them, I will just look at them. And take care of it.”

Su Changqing trembled and turned her head to look at Lu Hong.

But as he knelt on the ground and tried hard, he could only see Lu Hong's lower body, and the rest could not be seen.

Eunuch Wan took down the pieces of evidence and handed them to Su Changqing.

Accepting bribes to buy official positions for Su family members.

Seize people's property privately and make profits from it.

Each pile was written clearly, including the amount of money.

Su Changqing was stunned for a long time after looking at it. Such detailed content probably took a long time to collect.

He originally wanted to find some excuses, but after seeing this, he couldn't say those words.

I hesitated for a long time, but not a single word came out.

"Why is Lord Su so mute? I remember that at the palace banquet not long ago, Lord Su was quite good at speaking."

The corner of Emperor Jianwen's mouth curled up, looking particularly captivating.

Su Changqing shrank and said, "Your Majesty makes atonement. It was because I couldn't think about it for a moment that I made these mistakes. I am guilty, please punish me!"

For now, we can only deal with everything with a good attitude and strive for forgiveness.

After serving as an official for many years, Su Changqing has learned nothing else, but he still understands this truth.

When Su Changqing proposed to marry Sun Jiarou, Su Changqing was also in high school. Although he was not among the top three, he was at least the fourth-ranked Jinshi. If not, even if Su Changqing's words were all fantastic, the Sun family would not agree to let Sun Jiarou marry Su Changqing.

Emperor Jianwen sighed helplessly, why after so many years, this Su Changqing has lost the scholarly spirit of many years ago.

"Su Changqing, I can be considered a witness to those words back then. You are slapping me in the face by doing such a scandal now!"

"I am guilty, and I am willing to be punished!"

Su Changqing shouted, his face full of self-blame and guilt.

Sun Shao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by him. This time, even if I lose my face, I just ask your Majesty to punish him severely!"

Who would have thought that Sun Shao would say such a thing, worry and anger flashed across Su Changqing's eyes.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Sun Shao and hesitated: "Old General Sun, I really shouldn't be involved in this family matter. Now that General Su is still in the northwest, why not wait until he comes back to discuss this matter?"

"The old minister's grandson has sent home a letter a long time ago, please ask your Majesty to read it."

Sun Shao handed the letter forward.

Emperor Jianwen saw the handwriting and naturally knew it was written by Su Ye.

"Ye'er said, no matter what, please make the decision for your Majesty's daughter and grandson."

"this……"

Emperor Jianwen put down the letter, sighed deeply, then stood up and walked down.

"Old General Sun, you get up first. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."

Emperor Jianwen personally came down to help him, so Sun Shao naturally did not dare to kneel any longer and stood up before Emperor Jianwen could reach out his hand.

His movements were as sharp as if he had already prepared them.

"I just don't know who Su Changqing is raising outside. Has Old General Sun found out who it is?"

"Old minister has found out. This person is now imprisoned in Dali Temple." Sun Shao met Emperor Jianwen's eyes and said word by word: "That woman's surname is Wen."

Emperor Jianwen narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look. His eyes passed over Lu Hong and then fell on Wang Xiuyi.

"Master Wang, how many women named Wen are there in this prison?"

Wang Xiuyi didn't expect that there was such a story in the middle. He frowned slightly and became a little more suspicious of Lu Hong. Why did Lu Hong say that Wen Yiyue was his distant cousin?

"Your Majesty, the only women surnamed Wen currently locked up in this prison are descendants of the Wen family."

"A descendant of the Wen family? It's really interesting."

Emperor Jianwen suppressed his anger and said, "Come here, push Su Changqing down first!"

The guard stepped forward and pushed Su Changqing down.

Su Changqing didn't dare to speak until he left the imperial study room.

In the imperial study room, Lu Hong stood upright without any panic.

"Master Lu, can you explain to me why your distant cousin is related to Su Changqing?"

"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, but I really don't know about Wen Yiyue and Su Changqing."

Lu Hong handed over his hand and spoke in a calm tone, unable to hear any questions.

Sun Shao looked at him and frowned slightly. This boy from the Lu family was really powerful. He could still be so calm in such a situation.

"Master Wang, I leave it to you to investigate Wen Yiyue's matter. Don't let any fishy things slip out!"

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

Wang Xiuyi nodded heavily.

In fact, what Wang Xiuyi really needs to investigate is the relationship between Lu Hong, Wen Yiyue, and Su Changqing.

For other things, the evidence has been spread out, and further investigation is just to ensure that there are no problems.
