Chapter 229 The Spirit Obtains the Emperors Favor, Zi You Punishes the Wicked Part 3/3

As a result, the Minister of Appointments son, Chen Changsheng, had bought a number and came to treat his syphilis.

Zi You had instantly said to him, Your disease cant be cured. I cant go against the heavens. The heavens want to punish you, so how can I save you?

She had firmly denied him treatment. He wasnt only Duke Yongnan furens nephew, but he was a true tyrant. He was different from the Four Tyrants in the capital. The Four Tyrants were led by Shangguan LingRan and werent really wicked. They were just dissolute and frivolous on the surface.

They often lingered in brothels, but they were actually Shangguan LingRans good friends. They had the same goal, so they had to hide their true natures. And they targeted vicious officials and not the common citizens unlike Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng had relied on him being on Taizis side and ruined a lot of girls. But he still pretended to be a righteous gentleman. He was the same kind of person as his cousin Zhao HongXiang.

Chen Changsheng was a second-rank guard in the Palace and harmed a lot of people for the Empress and Taizi. Zi You certainly would not treat him.

Originally, Chen Changsheng had disguised his true nature very well. So, when Zi You refused to treat him, he had shouted. Why arent you treating me? What three wont treats? I didnt violate any of those rules. Im a good person, so why arent you treating me?

Before Zi You could expose his evil deeds, a woman jumped out and scolded, You animal! You cause my daughters death. If youre a good person, then all the good people in the world are dead!

There were more than a 1,000 people lining up. They immediately gathered around and asked each other what was going on.

The woman had cried out, My family has a small embroidery shop in the village. My daughter was very pretty. When she went to deliver the embroidered goods to the Minister of Appointments fu, she caught this animals eye. He wanted to marry her as his Fifth Yiniang. But not even three months after she married, she miscarried and died. The truth is that my daughter didnt have a natural miscarriage. Its this animal and his wife who harmed her. Theyre both wicked people!

Chen Changsheng had quibbled, Youre speaking nonsense. You sold your daughter for glory. Your daughter had a short life. What does that have to do with me and my wife? If you keep speaking nonsense, Ill send you to the yamen.

Zi You had instantly sneered and said, Arent you afraid the Fifth Yiniang who died because of you will seek revenge? Remember. Persisting in evil deeds will bring about your self-destruction.

Chen Changsheng had cursed and swore as he left. The woman had knelt to Zi You and thanked her for speaking up.

Originally, this matter would have passed just like this. But three days later, Chen Changsheng and his wife died. They were supposedly scared to death by ghosts. And his father, Minister of Appointments Chen Yonghao, was censured by the imperial censors for corruption. Xuanwu Emperor had given orders to arrest and imprison him.

As a result, Zi Yous fame increased. It was said that when someone met a villain, he would immediately say, Youre not afraid the National Guardian will stand up for justice and come to look for you?

The Minister of Appointments undoubtedly belonged on the Taizi and the Empress side. Zi You would start with him. Then she would start with the other important ministers and pull out all of Taizi and the Empress forces.

Moreover, once he died, Nee Chen wouldnt have any support anymore. Without Zi You doing anything, Duke Yongnan would certainly deal with Nee Chen.

Minister Chen didnt leave a ledger behind. Zi You fabricated a ledger according to Shangguan LingRans knowledge and placed it in fifth-rank Imperial Censor Li Zhengs study.

Li Zheng scored second place in last years palace examination. He had a humble background and no foundation in the capital. But he was very honest and trusted by Xuanwu Emperor. It was the most appropriate for him to expose Minister Chens crimes.
