Before Ji Yang could lose his temper on Liu Hui Ying, the latter raised her head and then looked at Zhai Tianyu\'s throne. In fact, she wanted to look Zhai Tianyu in the eyes but she was afraid that Ji Yang would make a fuss by saying that she was being disrespectful thus she could only lower her gaze a little and act respectful at the same time.

" Whats more Your Majesty, there still a day left before the three days time limit is up. Unless the time is up, even if you want to punish this servant, you have to at least listen to my words. Do you really not want to see the truth come to light? This is not about the Liu family anymore, this is about the entire city. If the one million gold taels are not found, will it not affect the commoners?"

When Zhai Tianyu heard Liu Hui Ying\'s words he pretended to be a bit troubled before waving his hand and ordered, " What are you waiting for? Step back. Let this gentleman speak."

" But your majesty——" Ji Yang still wanted to quibble but he was stopped by Zhai Tianyu who smiled at him and then said,

" Prime Minister Ji, why are you worried? It\'s not like you are the one who had committed the theft, right? Let this young man say what he wants to tell the court. No one is going to lose anything. We might even get the lost money back, hahaha!"

At times like these Zhai Tianyu was very happy to play the role of the fool. He was a fool, so he could do anything including being wilful right?

Ji Yang\'s face was stiff for the first time in his life, he regretted making Zhai Tianyu a fool. He looked at the smiling man on the throne with his heart being stabbed with pins and needles. Now he could only hope that this young man was a fool who did not know anything or else who knows what might happen to them.

This was a scheme that they had thought and implemented after a long time and if it failed now then what were they supposed to do!?

\' No, this plan cannot fail. This man better keep his mouth shut or else!\' Ji Yang glared at Liu Hui Ying malevolently, if not for the fact that he was standing in the court and he could not attack Liu Hui Ying, he would have rushed up ahead and torn her mouth off such that she would not be able to speak.

Even the Grand Dowager Empress was looking at Liu Hui Ying with a glaring look in her eyes. If not for the fact that she was the one who had raised Zhai Tianyu she would have thought that he was pretending to be a fool but she knew him too well. He was an idiot who did everything for fun, if not why would his harem be filled with more and more beauties?

He only used his brain when he was in bed!

Which was why all her attention was on Liu Hui Ying. Her gaze was sharp and poisonous like that of a snake. If it was someone else standing in place of Liu Hui Ying, they would have been badly shaken up by the gaze that was prickling at the back of their neck.

Liu Hui Ying on the other hand remained calm as she raised her head and then looked at Zhai Tianyu. She first bowed in front of him and then showed her gratitude for letting her speak.

" This servant heard that in the past few decades, the county magistrates and the several guards of the Yamen had managed to keep good control over the port and the city. What\'s more the current tax rate is below twenty per cent and we also have a friendly relationship with the rulers of the neighbouring countries, how will they dare to create strife?

If they dared to send someone to steal the money wouldn\'t that be equivalent to a death sentence? Your Majesty could increase the tax rates and make those rulers spit back what they took. The Great Dancheng country would not dare to invade as they are relying on us and they are still under our control."

" A theft as serious as this one could cause them more harm than good. This is because of the general and the officials working together."

Liu Hui Ying\'s words were neither fast nor slow. She was calm as she spoke while her tone was neither overbearing nor servile.

Even the amount of flattery that she used was the right amount causing the officials including the county magistrate to feel a bit satisfied. That\'s right these few days they were in a lot of trouble, how many times were they questioned even though they were honest?

Sometimes they even wondered if they should even work for the imperial family or not, if they were going to be treated like this then they might as well act wilfully!

But now that Liu Hui Ying had praised them for their hard work, these officials were quite touched. Looks like they were still respected.

Liu Hui Ying heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her flattery had worked, she then turned to look at Zhai Tianyu once again and continued, " I believe there is no ghost or pirates but a thief your majesty and that thief is in this court."

" I see that you are talking nonsense! Just because we gave you some face you are acting unrestrained!"

Zhai Tianyu did not even say anything before Zhou Xuaran exploded as he looked at Liu Hui Ying. He looked at her in disdain and then said coldly, " What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

" What else do my words translate to my lord? When I said that the thief was in the court it meant that he was in the court!"
