"General Chu, it's the people below who missed it. Miss Xie's punishment of the maid was originally informed in advance and written on this document. Who knew that it was too late to be submitted, and this is the case matter. The official said.

Chu Nanyue glanced at the document with low eyes, and looked at the slightly wet ink to understand everything.

It was the Xie family who was dealing with the trouble for Xie Yinhua.

The paperwork had just been written, and it was not at all accepted early, as he said. As for why it can be sent at this time, it is probably because there are also people from the Xie family in the yamen.

Chu Nanyue felt a chill in her heart. She guessed that the Xie family would intervene in this matter, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

At this time, Xie Yinhua was a little proud: "How is it?" It was General Chu who wronged me, since I informed the government in advance, I am not considered to have killed her without authorization, so today's case should not have happened. ”

Chu Nanyue smiled: "But Miss Xie didn't mention it to inform the government, but a master and a slave." ”

"That'...... That's my mistake! Xie Yinhua was a little stunned, "I was escorted in by you all the way, and I was already frightened." ”

She looked at Dongling Shuo's obviously cold eyes, couldn't help but be scared, and said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, I didn't mean to kill her with a cane, she fell the jade pendant, I cherish the sixth brother the most." ”

However, Tanglin Shuo didn't even reply, and only waited quietly for Chu Nanyue's opening.

Although Chu Nanyue did not expect Xie Yinhua to be heavily fined at the beginning, she didn't want to let this matter happen as if it didn't happen.

So Chu Nanyue said: "The Xie family has submitted the paperwork, whether the Xie family is late, or the officials are negligent, I don't want to pursue it more." When Xie Yinhua, the daughter of the Xie family, killed the maid with a cane, the yamen did not investigate Xie Yinhua's fault. ”

After finishing speaking, Xie Yinhua stood up proudly, while the two old men who were crying in the hall collapsed on the ground in despair, as if they had lost all hope.

I only heard Chu Nanyue say calmly: "But although the master is confused, the subordinates are even more confused." The people of Xie Fu, who were in charge of the execution that day, failed to fulfill their responsibility to remind their masters, and blindly killed the maid with a rod, and their crimes should be punished. Let him punish the servants who kill the maid with a rod, and each of them shall be struck with fifty boards with a rod. ”

Hearing the punishment, Xie Yinhua couldn't help but stare at Chu Nanyue with her eyes, and Chu Nanyue's cold eyes when she looked back made her feel terrified.

Someone from the Xie family must replace her crime, if she is not punished, I am afraid that Chu Nanyue will not give up.

Thinking about this, Xie Yinhua decisively shut up.

Chu Nanyue looked back at the two relatives kneeling on the ground, with compassion in her eyes, and said slowly: "The maid has served the Xie family for several years, even if she makes mistakes, she has worked hard. What's more, her two closest relatives had no fault of their own, but they were driven out of the house by the Xie family. Since the two of them are old and have no ability to make a living, Xie Fu must compensate them, one for the funeral expenses of their daughter, and the other for his two pensions. ”

Xie Yinhua lowered his voice: "Okay, I'll admit all of this." ”

Although Xie Yinhua was not convinced, for the sake of the Xie family's reputation, he had to admit Chu Nanyue's punishment.

She did not forget what her uncle had told her before, and after this incident, she did not dare to bother her uncle anymore, so she had to take out one hundred taels of silver herself, and compensate all the relatives of the maid, and have the right to pay for the funeral and the old man's pension.

At this time, outside the yamen, people from the Xie family had already come to pick them up.

Although Tanglin Shuo saw the people of the Xie family, he always sat in the hall and never went to see him.

After Xie Yinhua left, Chu Nanyue sent another special person to properly help the maid's relatives to be temporarily resettled.

Fortunately, with Yinliang, there is a way out for life in the future.

After everything was dealt with, Chu Nanyue was idle, and only then did he see that Dongling Shuo had not left, and was looking at him with complicated emotions.

"Is there anything else to do with the Sixth Highness?" Chu Nanyue asked suspiciously.

Ever since he finished speaking in the hall, Tanglin Shuo's eyes have been wrong.

"I'm sorry." Tanglin Shuo lowered his eyes.

There was an extremely heavy sense of guilt in his tone, and he himself seemed to be overwhelmed by this.

"What are you ......" Chu Nanyue was only halfway through his words, and then fell silent.

There is no need to ask, he must be because of the Xie family.

"General Chu is so smart, he probably saw that the ink hasn't dried yet, and someone wrote it down in a hurry, right?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Tanglin Shuo's lips.

Seeing that Chu Nanyue was still silent, he continued: "General Chu was clearly able to convict him, but because of the power of the Xie family, he had to change his meaning, even if General Chu didn't say it, I knew it. ”

He knew that Chu Nanyue had always been upright, and she would definitely not be used to the current atmosphere in the capital. Xie Yinhua's hostility towards her, she will not feel it.

"Actually, I've already achieved what I want, so why should the Sixth Highness worry?" Chu Nanyue smiled.

Looking at Dongling Shuo's frowning brows, she continued to add: "In the final analysis, what the maid's relatives need is a compensation. They were helpless, and they did not sue the government for the death of their daughter in the first place. The reason why there was a fuss later was also because the Xie family was cold-blooded and cut off their way of life. ”

The death of the maid will not cause much turmoil among the high-ranking families. The only thing that the Xie family could care about was that the relatives of the maids came to the yamen to complain about their grievances, worried that it would damage the reputation of the Xie family.

So from the beginning, Chu Nanyue just wanted to ask for a compensation for them openly.

It's just that she didn't expect that the Xie family would act so quickly in secret, and even sent someone to circulate inside the yamen in order to exonerate Xie Yinhua.

"The Xie family is cold-blooded......" Tanglin Shuo repeated her words in his mouth.

That unwavering tone made it difficult for Chu Nanyue to judge for a while what kind of emotions Tanglin Shuo had for the Xie family.

"With the current power of the Xie family, maybe a life is really nothing." Tanglin Shuo laughed as if laughing at himself.

Chu Nanyue understood that Tanglin Shuo and the Xie family were probably a helpless bond.

Chu Nanyue thought about it, and finally pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness Sixth doesn't have to mind, in fact, I didn't have much hope. In the capital, it is not only the Xie family who does this. ”

She looked at Donglin Shuo, and Donglin Shuo's eyes were still cold, as if covered with frost and snow.

"His Royal Highness is very embarrassed." Chu Nanyue couldn't help but say. She should have said in a questioning tone, but blurted it out with a sense of certainty. "But in his position, he should do his part, and it is useless to think about the rest."

Chu Nanyue is to the Chu family, even if the relationship is severed and no longer interact, there are always people in the DPRK and China who privately criticize it, alluding to Chu Nanyue's betrayal.

Tanglin Shuo is to the Xie family, because of the queen, it is a constant blood connection. I'm afraid it's even worse than her. What's more, the Xie family, as the queen's own family, helped Tanglin Shuo.

It wasn't a real word of concern, but Tanglin Shuo's eyes brightened slightly.

"General Chu has taught me a lot, and it is still today." Tanglin Shuo said softly.
