Here Secret Chamber has a very small protrusion.

If it were normal, no one would notice.

But at this time, due to Suotu's request, the soldiers worked hard to search for clues in this small place.

This small secret grid was uncovered just like this.

Suotu walked forward, stretched out his hand and pulled the lattice out a little.

After listening for a while and not hearing any unusual noise, I completely opened the grid.

Inside this small compartment, there are only a few pieces of clothing placed.

Suotu reached in and looked through it, then took out one of the items and looked at it carefully. His face suddenly sank. "Come here, take out all these clothes and show them to the emperor!"

The soldiers followed the instructions and sealed all the clothes and carried them outside together with the boxes filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

The housekeeper who had been kneeling outside the ancestral hall saw the belongings being carried out from the Secret Chamber, and the worry in his eyes never dissipated.

However, he can't say anything now.

After seeing that all the things in Secret Chamber were emptied, Suotu waved to his subordinates and said, "Let's go!"

Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation

Chu Jinghui looked at the boxes of jewelry being carried in from outside the palace, with an indifferent light in his eyes.

After Suotu entered the palace, he said, "Are these the things that were paid from Wei Sizhong's house?"

"If you return to the emperor, it is indeed true!"

Suotu handed a property list to Chu Jinghui's hand. "All the property has been counted and registered here. However, in my opinion, these properties are not enough to be feared."

"Do you have any other discoveries?" Chu Jinghui was stunned.

"Your Majesty, please look at this. I don't know what to say."

As Suotu said, he took out the box containing several pieces of clothing and presented it in front of Chu Jinghui.

"Imperial Ceremonial Cloak was given by me personally back then, and these two pieces of Waistcoat are also..."

Chu Jinghui said while looking through the clothes.

However, when his eyes fell on the bottom piece of clothing, the hand that was originally holding the corner of the clothing tightened suddenly.

"This thing... gold and silver thread, eight-clawed python, no, Young Dragon, the embroidery on this robe is Young Dragon, Wei Sizhong, well, it's really good!"

After Chu Jinghui finished speaking, he threw the clothes in his hands hard on the ground.

Suotu lowered his head and glanced at the torn and unseemly clothes. "Your Majesty, it seems that Chancellor Wei actually has evil intentions?"

Chu Jinghui roared angrily, "How dare he! Give the order and remove Wei Sizhong from his position as prime minister, take back Chancellor's Residence's residence, and banish the men to the army and exile the women!"

Suotu's body trembled. "I obey the order!"

Imperial City, Celestial Prison

Tianzi No. 6, this cell was originally used to imprison those relatives of the emperor who had committed crimes.

However, at this time, there was an old man sitting inside, whose hair was white but still perfectly groomed.

He is none other than the famous prime minister of Western Chu country, Wei Sizhong.

I saw him sitting cross-legged on the grass ball, holding a volume in his hand, reading very carefully.

With such an expression, one can't help but think that he is not in Celestial Prison, but in the study.

However, this kind of tranquility only lasted for a short time. Soon, Wei Sizhong's book was disturbed by the movement outside.

Several people, carrying a soft sedan, came towards Wei Sizhong.

Wei Sizhong slowly put the book aside, raised his head, and looked outside the cell door.

When he saw the person sitting on the soft sedan clearly, his eyes narrowed, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I really didn't expect that Lord Yang would be so elegant and happy to come here to visit me."

Wei Sizhong smiled and looked at Yang Qing who was leaning on the soft sedan.

And Yang Qing also set his sights on Wei Sizhong: "I never thought that I would have such an opportunity to see you again, Mr. Chancellor Wei."

After saying that, he stopped talking and just looked at Wei Sizhong with an indifferent expression.

It was Wei Sizhong who was the first to break the silence. "Now that I am in trouble, I wonder if Lord Yang is still satisfied with the result?"

"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. However, I will feel even more satisfied next."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Wei Sizhong asked nonchalantly.

Regarding Chu Jinghui, having been a close minister for more than ten years, he naturally knows his temper very well.

This action was just to show off for the entertainment of outsiders.

After some time, you will still be the same king, and I will still be the same minister.

Yang Qing looked at the calm Wei Sizhong and chuckled, "It seems that Chancellor Wei is very knowledgeable about his own methods. But..."

He paused for a moment and suddenly said sharply, "Wei Sizhong, where do you place Tianwei, and where do you place the Emperor?!"

Wei Sizhong naturally did not expect that someone as gentle as Yang Qing would get angry in an instant, and was stunned for a moment.

However, he quickly came to his senses and still smiled and said, "Lord Yang, the emperor is a wise king, how can he allow you to make noise here?"

Yang Qing glanced at him, and then slowly walked away from the soft sedan.

The injury on his back is still there, and standing is the limit of what he can do now.

However, he ignored the wave of pain in his body, but took out something from his sleeve and said to Wei Sizhong, "Wei Sizhong, take the order!"

Wei Sizhong was stunned again. "Why are you here to announce the decree?"

"That is the Emperor's sympathy for me, Wei Sizhong, do you still have any objections?"

Yang Qing glanced at Wei Sizhong again, then shook the Imperial Edict and began to read.

Wei Sizhong listened silently at first, but later when he heard that Chu Jinghui not only took away his title of prime minister, but also sent all Chancellor's Residence's subordinates to the army and exiled him, he immediately said anxiously, "I'm wronged, wronged! I want to meet the emperor, this is made out of nothing!"

Yang Qing has been watching with cold eyes, watching Wei Sizhong change from being calm at the beginning to becoming incoherent later. He said, "Wei Sizhong, don't you know whether you are wronged or not? Or is he joking with you when you become the emperor?"

Wei Sizhong was stunned by Yang Qing's words and was quiet for a while, but soon he rushed to the cell door and said to Yang Qing, "What a good one. Yang Chengming, do you think this action is all because of you? Yang Chengming, I, together with the emperor and his ministers for more than ten years, you and other villains will definitely not succeed! Just wait!"

Yang Qing looked at him with a smile, "Wei Sizhong, is it possible that the emperor's golden words are just a child's play in your eyes?"

After saying that, Yang Qing turned around and said to the jailer behind him, "Come here, this is a repeat offender of the imperial court, and he will be punished severely!"

After saying that, he whispered to Wei Sizhong, "Wei Sizhong, just bear with it! This day is just the beginning!"

"You!"

Wei Sizhong was furious and wanted to argue with Yang Qing, but saw him turn around and get on the sedan and leave quickly.
