"Xu Tao." Nan Yichen looked at Xu Tao, "Do you know the crime?"

Xu Tao's forehead was covered in cold sweat at this time. What could he say? If the emperor hadn't caught his daughter on the spot, he could have argued with her. But that idiot had directly grabbed the emperor's head, so how could he argue with her?

He could only bite his head on the ground: "I know that I am guilty. I am not strict in running the family. I... am willing to be punished!" As he said that, he took off the helmet on his head and placed it on the ground in front of him.

Xu Ying was still a little confused. She didn't expect that things would develop to such an extent. After realizing it, she became scared. If her father lost his official position, then who was she? More importantly, if the family was really implicated, then... she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

After taking a look at her family, she found that her aunts, brothers, and sisters were all looking at her with hatred in their eyes. No, it couldn't be like this. Then she stood up and took two steps forward.

"Bold." Zixuan's sword was placed directly on her neck, "Why don't you back down?"

"Your Majesty, you can't punish my father." Xu Ying looked at Nan Yichen with wide eyes, "I just like men, what's wrong with me? Just like women like men, why can a man have three wives and four wives?"

Concubine, but women can’t?”

Xu Tao's face turned green. What evil had he done? He actually had such an enemy? Is this to bring trouble to him?

The corner of Chu Xia's mouth twitched: "Miss Xu, it's true that you like men, but your mistake is that your methods are too bad, you robbed people into your house, and even killed people for it. You don't like it, you are bad."

Xu Ying opened her mouth, but couldn't argue.

"Okay, even if these untouchables are not happy, they can't implicate my father. It's all my fault. I can bear it alone. You punish me and don't implicate innocent people."

Chu Xia couldn't help but shake her head, this girl was hopeless.

Nan Yichen sneered: "You will definitely not be able to escape punishment, and your father's crime is also unpardonable."

"You...faint king."

Everyone:......

Xu Tao almost fainted: "Evil girl, why don't you step back quickly?"

"I'm right, I was the one who robbed him. If you implicate him, you don't know the difference between right and wrong, and you are a fool..."

"It's your father's fault if you don't teach him well. He's not responsible? Also, doesn't he know what you're doing? If you know it but don't stop it, the crime will be increased." Nan Yichen's face darkened.

Xu Ying couldn't help but tremble.

Next, Nan Yichen did not listen to Xu Ying's nagging, but directly sentenced Xu Ying to death. The so-called murder must be punished by death, which cannot be ignored.

Because Xu Tao had military merit, he could be exempted from the death penalty, but he could not escape the living crime. He was beaten with thirty military sticks and then escorted back to Beijing for disposal. In addition, the Xu family was searched, but those Xu family members who had not committed any crime were spared their lives, but they were

Demoted to common people.

Xu Tao had three concubines and five concubines. They were all suppressed by Xu Ying. At this time, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt grateful to the empress. Although they were common people, at least they were better than before.

Life under Xu Ying is much better.

Xu Ying's biological mother, who was also Xu Tao's first wife, couldn't bear it and started crying because it was her baby bump. As a result, Xu Tao slapped her twice and gave her a divorce note, and then she stopped.

Linglong City cannot be without a garrison, so Nan Yichen directly promoted a deputy general named Wu Dong to take over the military affairs of Linglong City.

The reason why Wu Dong was promoted was due to an investigation a long time ago. This man came from a humble background. He climbed to the position of deputy general with his military merit. He was an upright, brave and good at fighting. The previous conflicts with Bei Meng were all caused by him.

He led troops out of the city to solve the problem, and he loved his subordinates very much.

More importantly, Wu Dong had advised Xu Tao many times to discipline Miss Xu because Xu Ying had molested soldiers in the army and was reprimanded by Wu Dong.

But Xu Tao didn't take it seriously. He thought Wu Dong was nosy and disrespectful to his superiors, so he suppressed him many times.

Mingjinglou conducted a very detailed investigation, and even investigated the original conversation between the two people verbatim. Therefore, after comparison, this person can be used.

Chu Xia also took the opportunity to look at Wu Dong's face and found that this man was indeed very upright and could be of great use.

Of course, Nan Yichen was worried that Wu Dong would not be able to convince the public, so he asked Dongming to stay for a while, and anyone who made any unusual move would be killed without mercy.

After the arrangements were made here, Nan Yichen and Chu Xia were about to return to Beijing. As a result, the people in the city spontaneously came out to see them off. They said goodbye to the people and started to go south. However, not far from Linglong City,

I found a man kneeling on the roadside.

"Who is here?" Dongyang asked loudly.

"Qin Zifeng, a common man, asks to see the emperor and the empress." The kneeling man kowtowed to the ground, but his voice was very loud.

"Qin Zifeng? Isn't that the person that Miss Xu once robbed? The first one who ran out to testify." Chu Xia had an impression of this person, because only Yu Shen's mother and son were complaining at that time, which was not enough, and he died later.

The son's wife testified, but the evidence was not enough. At this time, Qin Zifeng brought several people to testify.

Not only did they authenticate, but they also presented physical evidence, including the traces of abuse Xu Ying left on them, as well as the things Xu Ying gave them.

It is because of these that Xu Ying cannot quibble even if she wants to.

Nan Yichen nodded: "What's the matter?"

"The common people were once captured by Miss Xu and imprisoned in the mansion for more than a year. The common people also resisted, but what they got in return were beatings and threats. Therefore, the common people had no choice but to give in..." Qin Zifeng paused and thought from his heart.

He took out an envelope and said, "This is what Cao Min accidentally got from Miss Xu's room. Cao Min discovered that she actually had contact with Beimeng. However, because the matter was so important, Cao Min did not dare to act rashly and could only hide it quietly.

stand up……"

Dongyang stepped forward and took the envelope, checked that it was non-toxic, and then handed it over.

Chu Xia immediately reached out to take the envelope, looked at it repeatedly, and then took out the letter paper inside and looked at it again and again.

Nan Yichen didn't say anything, just watched Chu Xia's movements.

After checking the letter paper in Chu Xia, she opened it and looked at the contents. It was indeed a letter from someone in Northern Mongolia to Xu Ying. The content was asking her to persuade Xu Tao to surrender. Then she could make Xu Tao king and promised Xu Ying countless gifts.

Money and men…

"It is indeed of great importance." Chu Xia nodded, "Someone, arrest him."

Xiao Dao was the first to step forward and tied up the opponent directly.
