C92 (1/2)

After Emperor An finished speaking with a guilty conscience, he thought that Su Li would give an excuse and went down the stairs.

Unexpectedly, as if nothing had happened, Su Li's eyes turned even redder, as though he wanted to speak up.

The Emperor An could only suppress the blaze as he glanced at the criminal in front of him. ”State Grandmaster is in a bad mood and has already returned to the Venerate Heavens Sect. You have been investigating this case the entire time. What happened next …”

”This subject has just given the Fifth Prince the acupuncture, and also forcefully followed the Eunuch Chen all the way here. This subject has already become dizzy and is unable to block it. This subject shall be bold, and ask your majesty to return and rest.”

Emperor An's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes became gloomy.

”My orders …”

”Ugh …” Su Li held her head, and staggered a few steps, then raised her head, her face was already pale white, ”Your majesty, please forgive me, but this subject's body is extremely weak, and the rod wound on her back has not completely healed. During these few days of investigation, she has gritted her teeth and endured.”

”What do you want?” In front of so many people, he was not in a good mood, so he could only grit his teeth and ask.

”The emperor has always given clear rewards and punishments, so how could this subject dare to cross over in front of the emperor?”

What a well-defined reward!

Was he trying to take the opportunity to ask for benefits?

Emperor An was so angry that his face was trembling. He held the armrest of his hands and the veins on the back of his hands started to bulge.

”We heard that Yi Village is on fire, and that we should properly repair it as well. We will have the Department of Revenue speed up the process.”

”If the Magistrate Wang knew about this, he would definitely exhort the Emperor to live forever. To be able to receive the emperor's precious words for such a small matter is his honor and also the fortune of a commoner.”

As light as a feather, Su Li took this benefit from Wang Quanan's body.

A few days ago, the Minister of the Supreme Court handed over a paper roll to make an exception and gave you the title of a female official. You have to stand up for the country and work for the people, and if you don't have an official title, your gossip will be numerous. If you do this today, I will grant you the title of a fifth-grade coroner.

A fifth rank is a small official made of sesame, but a woman being an official, was the first time such a thing happened in Southern Spirit Kingdom.

Su Li was satisfied that his Emperor An had been forced to such an extent.

”This subject thanks Your Majesty, but …”

”But what?” The corner of Emperor An's mouth twitched.

”My daughter has already moved out of the General's Mansion, father and mother did not care about me, the Yi Village was on fire, all of my daughter's possessions were destroyed in there, my daughter has the guts to borrow some silver from the Emperor for a living, before giving out the silver.”

Eunuch Chen who was serving beside the Emperor An was so shocked by Su Li that he staggered. He thought he had heard wrongly.

There was actually someone who dared to ask for silver from the emperor?

”Once this matter is settled, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold.”

Su Li happily bowed, the white on his face immediately disappeared, and it was even more rosy than before, ”To be able to do things for the emperor is my honor.”

Emperor An did not want to tangle with Su Li anymore, she knew that she was deceiving him, but she still gave him a look as she watched him take Su Li away.

He wanted to see how strong she was. If she made a mistake, he would take her life …

Su Li walked to the temporary interrogation room that was surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

Tang Rufeng kneeled on the ground in a daze, and lowered his head without saying a word.

He spoke less to her than he used to.

There were already quite a few wounds on his body. They could clearly be seen. It must have been because someone had whipped him before she came here.

On the other hand, Mo Lianjin and Mo Lianjue had also arrived at the outer area. Even the Crown Prince Mo Lianxuan and Mo Lianlang who liked to join in the fun had come.

Wang Quanan who had handled this case was waiting at the side, with Song Lai beside him. Seeing Su Li walking over, Song Lai originally wanted to go up, but he was stopped by the imperial guards.

Su Li nodded at him and closed in on him.
