Chapter 233 Granting fiefs, sealing the county head
"Your Majesty...the lower officials have been wronged..."
Zhou Duohai reluctantly opened his eyes, his voice was weak and aggrieved, and he knelt on the ground and cried.
Bai Qianjin's icy eyes swept over it, and Ah Feng behind him immediately handed over a stack of paper.
"Father, this is Zhou Duohai's confession," Bai Qianjin said.
The eunuch beside the emperor quickly came down, took the confession, and delivered it to the emperor.
The emperor's eyes turned over the confession book page by page, his face became darker and darker, and the quiet sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the main hall.
"Crack!"
The emperor's hand suddenly slapped on the faucet's armrest, his anger obvious.
"You harmed the people, framed Zhongliang, and killed the prince. Your crime is unpardonable! Now you dare to say that you were wronged in front of me!"
The confession clearly spelled out each of his charges.
Zhou Duohai's eyes were a little confused, as if he didn't understand the emperor's words, and what he said before seemed to be based on instinct.
Yun Ning took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, on our way back to Beijing, there is someone who wants to kidnap Zhou Duohai. That person's ability is extremely weird. The purpose of trying to kidnap Zhou Duohai is not to rescue him. What's more,
It’s like I want to silence you.”
The emperor's eyes narrowed, "You mean, there is someone behind him?"
Yun Ning replied: "I do have this guess."
The emperor frowned and ordered, "Someone, take him down and hand him over to Dali Temple for interrogation."
"Yes, I obey."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty and his subordinates are really unjust..." Zhou Duohai was still struggling unyieldingly, but his voice became farther and farther away and gradually disappeared in the main hall.
When the emperor looked at Bai Qianjin and Yun Ning again, a smile appeared on his face again, "You two have made great achievements this time, and I will definitely reward you. Is there anything you want?
ah?"
Yun Ning chuckled and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but it is the duty of a doctor to treat illnesses and save people. Yun Ning would never dare to ask for any reward."
Bai Qianjin was holding back her smile. Was Aning honest when she said this?
She must be expecting gold and silver from her father, but she still pretends not to care.
"Oh?" The emperor's voice rose, and then he asked, "What about Qian Jin?"
Bai Qianjin held up his hand and said, "When I return to my father, my thoughts are the same as A Ning's."
The faces of the ministers were all stained with smiles.
It is said that a husband is a wife and a wife is a follower, but when it comes to His Highness King Qin, it is a wife who is a follower of the husband. However, these two people really seem to be a perfect match.
At this time, everyone had gradually forgotten that Yun Ning was still Ye Feichen's crown princess, and they only remembered the incomparably matched figures of the two people in front of them.
It was as if Ye Feichen had never appeared in their world.
Ye Feichen looked at their harmonious appearance, with a trace of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
"Hahaha -" the emperor laughed, "You don't want it, but I can't really deny it. Yun Ning stepped forward to listen to the order."
Yun Ning stepped forward, lifted up her red skirt, and knelt down to salute.
The emperor's voice sounded again, "Yun Ning, the head of the Yun family, has saved the people from fire and water, and has made great achievements in controlling chaos. Now he is specially named the second-grade county master, and gives 'Lai Yong' his fiefdom, and also gives him a hundred taels of gold."
After the emperor's voice fell, the hall was so silent that it was as if one could hear everyone's heartbeats.
It was not surprising to them that Yun Ning was given the title of county head. After all, she had indeed made great achievements in quelling the chaos.
But from now on, she is no longer an ordinary county head, she has her own fiefdom.
