Chapter 404 Are those people here?
Chapter 404 Are those people coming?
Baoshun came to the Marquis Mansion with the emperor's oral instructions. The Marquis knelt on the ground to receive the order. When Baoshun's father-in-law left, his face darkened.
Mrs. Houfu also realized that the matter was not simple: "Master, what is this?"
Mr. Hou's face turned livid: "Your Majesty is throwing the problem to me. My disciple of the Hou Mansion started this matter."
Mrs. Hou Mansion couldn't help but said: "This emperor is so young, he is really not simple. Mr. Hou, do you still want to protect him?"
Mr. Hou said calmly: "Before, it was the face of the Hou Mansion that was lost, but now it is for the peace of the whole capital. His death is a matter of justice."
She heard that the master had made his own decision in his heart, but she didn't say anything. The last time they met at the door, she knew that this county magistrate was a white-eyed wolf. Sooner or later, the Hou Mansion would bring him down. Even if he died, he would be gone. A disaster.
It's just that the Marquis is still a little unwilling. He has done so much for him and even refutes Prince Nan's face. In the end, he still can't save him.
Bai Mingyu came out of the palace and saw Yue'er waiting for him outside the palace, so he walked over.
"It's cold outside, why did you come with me?"
"I'm worried about what if you are too straight-tempered and are sent to the dungeon again." Shen Zhiyue pursed her lips and said, "I just saw Eunuch Baoshun leaving the palace in a hurry. What happened?"
"The life of the county magistrate can't be saved." Bai Mingyu looked at the only way out of the palace.
Bai Mingyu got on his horse, passed by her, pulled her up with his hands, put his arms through her waist and hugged her gently.
"Let's go and see."
Shen Zhiyue tilted her head: "What kind of hobby do you have, taking girls to see such bloody scenes? Shouldn't you take me to see a movie, a romantic place in Ocean Park?"
Bai Mingyu heard another new word come out of her mouth: "What movie? Ocean Park?"
"That's it, a new species that you don't have."
"Yue'er thinks it's too bloody?" Bai Mingyu lowered his head and pressed his lips to her ear.
"Actually, it's not bad. After all, I'm not even afraid of corpses. Beheading on the spot is trivial to me." Shen Zhiyue held her head high.
They came to the beheading scene and heard the crowd talking: "Have you heard that the head of the Minister of Rites was chopped off? There was a big fuss about the separation of the Minister of Rites and his wife. This lady is really a strong lady, but the Minister of Rites As soon as something happens to the minister, this strong lady will go to work."
"Yes, the Iron Lady really has nothing to say to the Minister of Rites. It is this man who has started not to cherish him. He has kept several concubines outside for fear of angering the wife at home."
Only then did Shen Zhiyue know that something big had happened to the Bai family. Bai Mingyu hugged her and jumped off the horse with a light kung fu.
"Bai Mingyu, I have to go see the Bai family."
"Let Yu Qing follow and go back home early." Bai Mingyu grabbed her hand and said softly.
"good."
Shen Zhiyue walked towards the residence of the Minister of Rites. Standing at the door, she saw white cloth fluttering. These people really wanted to disturb the water in the capital.
She stepped in and saw Mr. Bai kneeling on the futon, throwing the paper into the brazier.
Shen Zhiyue offered incense to him: "My condolences."
She helped the merchants so much at first, but in the end it was these merchants who killed her ex-husband. It was really ironic.
Bai Qingya looked up at her and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "I'm fine. I just came back to bury him and his daughter together so that they can have a companion down there."
"How did these people get it?"
Bai Qingya's face was expressionless: "Since I stopped giving him money, he can't even afford to keep a concubine outside. He spends all his time drinking to relieve his sorrows. When those people came, they cut off his head without any effort."
"Do you still want to continue helping the Xie family?"
Bai Qingya's tone was very helpless: "The world has its own rules, and the imperial court has its own rules. If you offend the Xie family, unless you don't want to get involved."
Nowadays, all shops in the capital are closed. The only ones that open shops for business are the emperor's properties, but in her opinion, they won't be able to hold on for long.
"The imperial court should handle this matter as quickly as possible."
Bai Qingya turned to look at the door: "When he received the favor, there was a huge crowd, but now no one even looks at him."
Shen Zhiyue asked: "Is there anything I can do?"
"I'm interested." Bai Qingya bent down and nodded towards her, but said nothing.
A servant walked in: "Madam, the auspicious time has come."
Bai Qingya responded, and the servants carried the coffin towards the back mountain. They had already dug up Chu Pan's grave.
She didn't shed a single tear in the mourning hall. When she came to her daughter's grave, she couldn't restrain herself and started crying.
Shen Zhiyue stood beside her and stretched out her arms to hug her. This is when people are vulnerable.
Bai Qingya leaned her head against her and choked: "I made you laugh."
"It's okay, you can cry, I'll just pretend I didn't see anything."
She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. She was already old, and it was quite embarrassing to cry in front of others.
"I just feel that Pan'er's life is miserable. If her father hadn't been dedicated to paving the way for her, Pan'er might not have died."
As a mother, she always wants her children to be safe and sound. She also wants to see Pan'er get married and have children, but it's a pity that they are gone.
Shen Zhiyue didn't know what to say at the side. She was the murderer of Chu Pan. She watched a couple die in love with her own eyes. Whose fault was it?
The servants put the coffin in and sealed it with earth. After doing this, it was already dark. Shen Zhiyue remembered what he said to return home early.
"I'm going back first. If there's anything I can do to help, you must come to me."
"Okay." Bai Qingya responded, her eyes continuing to fall in front of the tombstone.
Shen Zhiyue left the residence of the Minister of Rites and walked slowly down the street. After dark, the capital was still under curfew, so there was no one on the street.
The cold wind was biting, and Shen Zhiyue couldn't help but cross her arms and rub them from time to time.
There was a sudden weight on her shoulders. She turned her head and glanced. Bai Mingyu covered her with his cloak.
"Go back home."
The merchants were causing trouble, which made people in the whole capital panic. They hid in their homes before the curfew came.
"After executing the county government boss, will these people stop there?"
"No." Bai Mingyu said firmly.
The county government official is a hook. Once it starts, it will not end easily.
They returned to the palace, and a hot pot of tea was brought to him. Shen Zhiyue took a sip and felt much warmer all over.
"Then you're going to do nothing?"
"These people should have been instructed by the Phoenix Clan. They have to show up on their own initiative in order to catch them all."
Shen Zhiyue stayed up with him until the latter half of the night when she finally couldn't stand it any longer. She held her chin in her hands and closed her eyes slightly.
Bai Mingyu held her hand: "If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep."
"Are those people coming?"
"Well, I want to go there."
Shen Zhiyue nervously grabbed his hand: "Be careful, don't get hurt."
Bai Mingyu kissed her forehead: "Go to sleep."
