The Prime Minister did not want to talk nonsense to his son, so after leaving the words behind, he went to the study alone.
The son of the Prime Minister did not go to find Aunt Mo. He knew his father well. If it was not a matter of touching the bottom line, his father would not treat Aunt Mo like this. He stood in the front hall and thought about it before leaving.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
The people sent by the Prime Minister arrived in Yancheng quickly. They first inquired about the news in Yancheng. At first, the people were not willing to mention the Xiao family's affairs. Later, some people also secretly told the story of the Xiao family's stay in Yancheng over the years.
of tyrannical behavior.
The Prime Minister's people quickly sent news to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister issued an order, and the people sent did not alert the county magistrate of Yancheng or the local prefect. When he came to Yancheng, he brought people from the capital.
After the people from the Ministry of Punishment entered the mansion, they took away Xiao Hu, Mr. Xiao and his wife. Of course, there was also an old lady who was the concubine of the Prime Minister. The Xiao family was originally because of Xiao Hu.
Immersed in grief, who knew that suddenly someone arrested their whole family with an arrest warrant, and they still felt a little confused. Mrs. Xiao looked dissatisfied and said to the people from the Criminal Department: "You know who the Xiao family is.
Are you so brave? You dare to arrest people from the Xiao family!"
The man sent by the Prime Minister frowned slightly. He finally understood why the Prime Minister insisted on dealing with the Xiao family. This old lady was really arrogant.
He just said softly: "Old lady, we don't want to know who Mansion Xiao is. Even if you are the prince of the current emperor, if you break the law, our court will send people to arrest you."
When the people in the city heard that the capital sent people to arrest the Xiao family, they all gathered outside the Xiao family gate to watch the excitement. Not only did some people cheer, but some actually set off firecrackers. This shows how much the people in Yancheng hate the Xiao family.
While shopkeeper Feng was still sorting out the accounts, he heard a girl shout: "Uncle Feng, I heard that someone from the capital just arrested the entire Xiao family."
Shopkeeper Feng was stunned for a moment, then the pen in his hand fell on the table, and he murmured: "Caught?"
"Yes, I heard that some people have set off firecrackers at the entrance of Xiao's mansion to celebrate." The girl said excitedly.
Uncle Feng's eyes were slightly red and he was a little excited, and he suddenly thought of Murong Xi and Feng Mingye. Although several months had passed, he still believed that the capture of the Xiao family must have something to do with this god.
They were related to the dependents. These two people didn't look like ordinary people. It was God's will that allowed him to meet this couple.
The people sent by the Prime Minister did not stay. After kidnapping the people, they took them back to the capital.
"Sir, these people have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment and I don't know how to handle them. The old lady is clamoring to see you and muttering that she is your daughter." The man said a little embarrassed.
The Prime Minister breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "The wife of the Xiao family is indeed my daughter, but it is precisely because of the relationship between her and me that I asked you to arrest her. Xiao Hu is using his power to bully others.
The evidence has been conclusive, and it can be handled in accordance with Nanzhao's regulations, without looking at my face. The reason why I asked you to arrest this lady is because after she entered the Xiao Mansion, she gave the Xiao family a lot of money.
The wife of the wife was poisoned, if you need a witness, you can ask someone to go to Yancheng to find Feng Yi's shopkeeper."
"My lord, have you seen the lady or not?" the man asked.
"I would like you to go and see me." The Prime Minister said slowly.
The Prime Minister followed the man to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and heard Yun Siqing's voice from a distance.
Wail.
The Prime Minister frowned slightly, and walked inside bravely. When Yun Siqing saw the Prime Minister, he did not look like he was seeing a savior. There was timidity in his eyes, and he lowered his head with a flicker.
Because only Yun Siqing knows, her aunt has only known about her situation in these years. She also knows that her father will definitely not spare her if he knows what she did in Xiao Mansion, so she will only give her
Her aunt wrote letters and even had some ideas that she had in mind for her. At this moment, when she saw the Prime Minister, she felt guilty.
She stammered: "Father, father."
"Hmph, you did a good thing." The Prime Minister said angrily.
When Mr. Xiao heard his mother calling the Prime Minister his father, he realized that the stern old man in front of him was actually his grandfather. He knelt down and said, "Grandpa, right? Grandpa, please save us."
, was it a mistake to arrest them all, why did they arrest all the people in the Xiao Mansion? Do they not know the relationship between our Xiao Mansion and you? "
The Prime Minister ignored Mr. Xiao. He glanced at Xiao Hu gently and saw that Xiao Hu was actually wearing a woman's costume. He looked coquettish and looked like a father-in-law in the palace. He said sternly
"Yun Siqing, as a father, I will not pursue the matter of you killing the mistress of the Xiao family. However, Xiao Hu actually runs rampant in Yancheng. What do you say about this?"
When the Prime Minister saw that Yun Siqing was about to defend himself, he continued: "Don't rush to defend yourself. My father knows everything about the Xiao Mansion. I think Aunt Mo should know more, right? That aunt of yours hid this from me.
What happened over the years, this time, if someone hadn't enlightened me, wouldn't I have been confused for the rest of my life? Just reflect on it in prison, and I will never come to visit you in the future."
After the Prime Minister said that he would not give Yun Siqing any reaction, he left the prison.
The Prime Minister went to Ye Chenyi's study room early the next morning.
Ye Chenyi sat there and looked at the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister wanted to salute, but Ye Chenyi stopped him and asked: "Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Ye Chenyi knew that the Prime Minister suddenly sent people to Yancheng and captured all the Xiao family members. His secret guards quickly reported the investigation. Ye Chenyi knew that the Xiao family was the Prime Minister
Your Excellency's relative, and the Xiao Mansion relied on this relationship with the Prime Minister to act tyrannically in Yancheng, but no one in the capital knew about it. The reason was that the local officials protected him.
The Prime Minister said softly: "I came here to plead guilty. I didn't expect that the old minister's daughter would actually do such a treasonous thing, and the Xiao family's son Xiao Hu..." The Prime Minister also told Ye Chenyi in detail
Once again. Then he told the story of Feng Mingye and Murong Xi's encounter with Xiao Hu in Yancheng, and then continued: "I feel ashamed of my trust in the late emperor. I didn't expect that the Xiao family would rely on the old minister to be the prime minister.
He was so arrogant and domineering, and raped the daughters of the people. The old minister secretly took the decision and took all the Xiao family members back to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment will handle the matter, and the veteran will never participate. Also, this is a list of local officials who are shielding Xiao Hu.
, please make the decision, Your Majesty. There is also a resignation letter from an old minister here. The old minister is old, not to mention having committed such a stupid thing, and he is really not worthy of being the prime minister. Please allow your Majesty!"
The Prime Minister is about to celebrate his eightieth birthday, so he should have retired a long time ago. And there are many things that Ye Chenyi has already handed over to other officials to handle. He just understands the Prime Minister's past hard work. Since the Prime Minister
If the Lord asks for his resignation, Ye Chenyi will naturally not refuse.
Ye Chenyi said slowly
: "Mr. Yun, in my heart, you are my mentor. I will naturally fulfill your request. Just rest assured and take care of yourself. Since you said that Pluto and Pluto are very clear about this matter, why not leave it to
Let Hades judge."
When the Prime Minister heard this, he quickly said hello and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Soon, His Majesty's imperial edict was spread, and all the county magistrates and local prefects in Yancheng were uprooted and brought to the capital to wait for disposal. There was also an imperial edict for the Prime Minister. In memory of the Prime Minister's hard work, now this year has passed.
So, let him live in Beijing for his retirement. There is no need to change his mansion, he just needs to change his plaque.
At the Hades Mansion, Feng Mingye also received the imperial edict that Feng Mingye would handle the cases in the Xiao Mansion.
Feng Mingye returned to the courtyard with the imperial edict. When she saw Murong Xi looking at the imperial edict in her hand, she said, "My lord, Princess, I know that you have been upset recently, why don't you go with me to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to relax?"
Murong Xi rolled his eyes and asked excitedly: "The Xiao family was arrested?"
Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi lovingly and smiled, then hooked her index finger on the bridge of Murong Xi's nose and said, "Xier is indeed smart."
"Since Sayoko is so troubled, I can go with you to the prison."
"Naughty, my father handed this case over to me, presumably because of what the Prime Minister said." Feng Mingye said slowly.
"Xiao Hu wouldn't recognize us even if he saw us. However, everyone in the Xiao family has been arrested. Why is there no news about Uncle Feng returning to the Xiao family?" Murong Xi was just thinking about this matter.
If it weren't for this, he would have killed Xiao Hu long ago. He kept Xiao Hu in the first place just so that Xiao Hu could get real punishment and so that Uncle Feng could justifiably return to the Xiao family to pay homage to his ancestors.
"Don't worry. The Xiao family has been convicted. After the handling is completed, Uncle Feng can naturally return to the Xiao family." Feng Mingye said softly.
Murong Xi nodded, and then said to Feng Mingye: "Then wait for me, I'm going to change some clothes."
Feng Mingye said slowly: "Eat first, then change clothes, and then we will set off."
Murong Xi nodded. After Feng Mingye had a meal with Murong Xi, Murong Xi changed clothes and put on a veil specially, and followed Feng Mingye to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Feng Mingye first met with Mr. Xingbu, and then Mr. Xingbu personally took Feng Mingye and Murong Xi outside the prison. Mr. Xingbu looked at Murong Xi, and then said: "Your Highness, there is some moisture in the prison. Concubine Pluto is
Pregnant women, it’s best not to go in. Take a look..."
Feng Mingye smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, sir, because the princess feels a little bored, so I took her out to relax. If she feels uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if she comes out again."
The Lord of the Criminal Department thought that he had heard wrongly. Whose daughter-in-law was bored and the man took her to the prison to relax? His Highness Pluto looked at the jade tree facing the wind. He looked so talented. Why did he treat his wife like this? However, when he saw Princess Pluto, she looked eager to give it a try.
How come they are so happy after entering the prison? This couple is a weird couple?
Murong Xi saw the expression on Mr. Punishment's face changing, so he snorted softly: "Ahem."
Lord Xingbu smiled slightly, and then said: "It's good that Pluto knows what's going on, so let's go in."
Master Xingbu led Feng Mingye and Murong Xi slowly inside. When the guard guarding the door saw Master Xingbu leading his people, he hurriedly shouted: "Greetings, sir."
