Chapter 507: Yancheng arrests people

The prime minister didn't want to talk nonsense with his son, so after throwing away the words, he went to the study alone.

The prime minister's son didn't go looking for Aunt Mo, he knew his father, if it wasn't for something that touched the bottom line, his father wouldn't treat Aunt Mo like this. He stood in the front hall and thought about it, then left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The people sent by the Prime Minister soon arrived in Yancheng, and first inquired about the news in Yancheng, but at first the people were reluctant to mention the affairs of the Xiao family. Later, some people secretly told the Xiao family's rampant and domineering behavior in Yancheng over the years.

The Prime Minister's people quickly sent the news to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister gave an order, and the people sent did not alarm the county order of Yancheng and the local prefect. When he came to Yancheng, he brought people from the Criminal Department from the capital, and after entering the mansion, he arrested Xiao Hu, as well as Lord Xiao and his wife, and of course there was an old lady, who was the concubine of the Prime Minister. The Xiao family was still immersed in grief because of Xiao Hu, who knew that someone suddenly arrested all their family with an arrest warrant, and they felt a little lost. Old Madam Xiao looked dissatisfied, and said to the people in the Criminal Department: "Do you know who Xiao Mansion is?" The courage is so big, dare to arrest the people of Xiao Mansion! ”

The person sent by the prime minister frowned slightly, he finally knew why the prime minister had to deal with the Xiao family, this old lady was really arrogant.

He just said softly: "This old lady, we don't want to know who Xiao Mansion is, even if you are the prince of the current saint, if you break the law, our court will send someone to arrest you." ”

The people in the city heard that the capital sent people to arrest the Xiao family, and all of them gathered outside the gate of the Xiao family to watch the excitement, not only some people applauded, but also some people set off firecrackers, which shows how much the people in Yancheng hate the Xiao family.

And when Shopkeeper Feng was still sorting out the accounts, he only heard a girl shouting: "Uncle Feng, I heard that someone from the capital just arrested all the Xiao family." ”

Shopkeeper Feng was stunned for a moment, the pen in his hand fell on the table, and muttered: "Arrested, arrested?" ”

"Yes, I heard that at the gate of Xiao's Mansion, some people have already set off firecrackers to celebrate." The girl said excitedly.

Uncle Feng's eyes were a little red, and he was also a little excited, and he suddenly remembered Murong Xi and Feng Mingye. Although several months have passed, he always thinks that the arrest of the Xiao family must be related to this immortal couple. These two people don't look like ordinary people. It really happened that God had eyes and let him meet this couple.

And the people sent by the prime minister did not stay, and after tying up the people, they took them back to the capital.

"My lord, these people have been sent to the criminal department, and I don't know how to try them. The old lady clamored to see you, and muttered that she was your daughter. The man said with some embarrassment.

The Prime Minister breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "That lady of the Xiao family is indeed the daughter of this official, but it is precisely because you know her relationship with this official that you will be arrested." The fact that Xiao Hu bullied others has been conclusively proven, and it can be dealt with in accordance with the laws and regulations of Nanzhao, and there is no need to look at the face of the official. And this official asked you to arrest this lady because, after she entered the Xiao Mansion that year, she poisoned the wife of the Xiao family's main room back then, if you need witnesses, you can ask people to go to Yancheng to find a Feng Yi's shopkeeper. ”

"My lord, do you see that lady or not?" The man asked.

"It's okay for this official to go with you to meet you." The Prime Minister said slowly.

The Prime Minister followed the man to the prison of the Criminal Department, and heard Yun Siqing's wail from a distance.

The Prime Minister frowned slightly, and walked inside. When Yun Siqing saw the Prime Minister, he didn't look like he saw the savior, his eyes were timid, and he lowered his head with flickering.

Because only Yun Siqing herself knows, over the years, only her aunt knows. She also knew that her father would not spare her if he knew what she was doing in Xiao Mansion, so she would only write letters to her aunt, and even, some ideas were all thought of by her aunt for her. At this moment, when she saw the Prime Minister, she felt empty.

She stammered, "Father, Father." ”

"Hmph, you did a good thing." The Prime Minister said angrily.

When Master Xiao heard his mother call the prime minister his father, he knew that the stern old man in front of him was actually his grandfather. Then he knelt down and said, "Grandfather, is it?" Grandfather, please save us, is it a mistake, how can you arrest all the people in Xiao Mansion? Don't they know about our relationship with you? ”

The Prime Minister didn't pay attention to Master Xiao, he glanced at Xiao Hu lightly, and saw that Xiao Hu was actually wearing a set of women's costumes, and he looked like a father-in-law in the palace. He said sternly: "Yun Siqing, the matter of you killing the Xiao family's housemother before, I won't pursue it for my father first. However, Xiao Hu is actually tyrannical in Yancheng, what do you say about this? ”

Seeing that Yun Siqing wanted to defend himself, the Prime Minister continued: "Don't be in a hurry to justify, the affairs of Xiaofu are clear to my father, I think Aunt Mo should know more, right?" That aunt of yours has been hiding things from me for so many years, this time, if someone hadn't pointed it out, wouldn't I have been confused for the rest of my life? Reflect on yourself in prison, and I won't come to visit you in the future. ”

After the Prime Minister said that he didn't give Yun Siqing any reaction, he left the prison.

The Prime Minister went to Yechenyi's imperial study early the next morning.

Ye Chenyi sat there and looked at the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister wanted to salute, but was also stopped by Ye Chenyi, so he asked, "Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Ye Chenyi knew that the Prime Minister had suddenly sent someone to Yancheng and arrested all the people of the Xiao family, and his secret guard quickly reported the investigation. Ye Chenyi knew that Xiao Mansion was a relative of the Prime Minister, and Xiao Mansion relied on the relationship between the Prime Minister and was actually tyrannical in Yancheng, but no one in the capital knew about it, and the reason was that the local officials protected it.

The prime minister said softly: "The old minister is here to ask for guilt, I didn't expect the old minister's daughter to do such a big rebellious thing, and Xiao Hu, the son of the Xiao family, ......" The prime minister also told Ye Chenyi in detail. Then he also told Feng Mingye and Murong Xi about the encounter with Xiao Hu in Yancheng, and then continued: "The old minister is ashamed of his trust in the emperor, I didn't expect the Xiao family to rely on the old minister to be the prime minister, so arrogant and domineering, robbing the people's daughters. Lao Chen took the initiative to arrest all the people of the Xiao family back to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department handled the matter, and Lao Chen never participated. Also, this is a list of local officials who protect Xiao Hu, and I ask Your Majesty to call the shots. There is also a resignation letter from the old minister, the old minister is old, not to mention that he has committed such a foolish thing, he is really not worthy of being a prime minister. Please allow your Majesty! ”

The Prime Minister is about to turn 80 years old, so he should have retired a long time ago. And there are a lot of things, Ye Chenyi has long been handed over to other officials to deal with, just understand the Prime Minister's hard work in the past. Since the prime minister himself resigned, Ye Chenyi naturally would not refuse.

Ye Chenyi said slowly: "Yun Lao, in my heart, you are my mentor. Your request will naturally be fulfilled, you can rest assured that you can support your old age, since you said that this matter is very clear to the Hades and the Hades Princess, then it is better to leave it to the Hades to judge. ”

When the Prime Minister heard this, he hurriedly said hello, and then returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Soon, His Majesty's holy decree was spread, and the county order of Yancheng and the local prefect were all uprooted and brought to the capital to await disposal. There is also a holy decree to the Prime Minister, reading that the Prime Minister has worked hard and is now old, so let him retire in Beijing, no need to change the mansion, just change the plaque.

And on the Hades Palace, Feng Mingye also received the holy decree, that is, the case of the Xiao Mansion was handled by Feng Mingye.

Feng Mingye returned to the courtyard with the holy decree, and when he saw Murong Xi looking at the holy decree in his hand, he said: "Lord Princess, the little one knows that you have been bored recently, why don't you go to the prison of the criminal department with the little one to relax?" ”

Murong Xi's eyes rolled, and he asked excitedly, "The Xiao family has been arrested?" ”

Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi dotingly and smiled, and then hooked his index finger and scraped on the bridge of Murong Xi's nose. Then he said: "Xi'er is really smart. ”

"Since Sayoko is so bothered, it's not impossible for Hongu to go to the prison with you."

"Naughty, my father handed over this case to me, I guess I heard what the Prime Minister said." Feng Mingye said slowly.

"Xiao Hu wouldn't recognize us even if he saw us. It's just that all the people in the Xiao family have been arrested, why is there no news of 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 a long time ago. At the beginning, Xiao Hu was kept so that Xiao Hu could get a real punishment, so that Uncle Feng could rightfully return to the Xiao family to meet his ancestors.

"Don't worry, the people of the Xiao family have been convicted, and after dealing with it, Uncle Feng will naturally be able to return to the Xiao family." Feng Mingye said softly.

Murong Xi nodded, and then said to Feng Mingye: "Then you wait until me, I will go and change my clothes." ”

Feng Mingye said slowly: "Let's eat first, then change our clothes after eating, and then we're on our way." ”

Murong Xi nodded, and after Feng Mingye accompanied Murong Xi to eat, Murong Xi changed into a dress, and specially put on a veil, and followed Feng Mingye to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Feng Mingye first met with the Lord of the Criminal Department, and then the Lord of the Criminal Department personally took Feng Mingye and Murong Xi to the outside of the prison. The Lord of the Criminal Department looked at Murong Xi, and then said: "Your Highness the Hades King, there is some humidity in the prison, the Hades Princess is a pregnant woman, it is best not to enter, you can take a look......"

Feng Mingye smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, because the princess feels a little bored, so this king took her out to relax." If she feels unwell, it doesn't hurt to come out again. ”

The lord of the criminal department thought that he had heard it wrong, whose daughter-in-law was bored, and the man took it to the prison to relax? His Royal Highness the Hades King looked at Yushu Linfeng, a talent, how could he treat his daughter-in-law like this? However, seeing that the princess of Hades looked eager to try, how could she be so happy to enter the prison? Is this couple wonderful?

Murong Xi saw that the expression on the face of the Lord of the Criminal Department was changing, so he snorted lightly: "Ahem." ”

Lord Punishment smiled slightly, and then said, "It's good that the Hades King has a plan in mind, so let's go in." ”

The Lord of the Criminal Department slowly walked inside with Feng Mingye and Murong Xi, and the guards guarding the door saw the Lord of the Criminal Department coming with someone, and hurriedly shouted, "Meet the Lord." ”
