Chapter 485: The Feast
In the official mansion, no matter what Wang Qiaoer said, the few mountain bandits who were still alive were afraid of being affected by her again, so they recruited them one by one.
It turned out that Deng Fugui did not abscond after killing Ba Deshun as Wang Qiaoer said.
After they left Beijing, they were separated from Deng Fugui on the road because of the snow disaster.
Ba Deshun was destitute, so Wang Qiao'er stole his things and fled.
On the way, she happened to encounter mountain bandits, and she felt that she could make a living in the end, and maybe she would be better off than the people who suffered in the disaster.
So, she took refuge in the big boss of the mountain bandits and became a wife for others.
After the snowstorm passed, the imperial court began to subsidize the government and eliminate the troublesome bandits.
The big boss was killed during that time, and Wang Qiaoer took the rest of the mountain bandits to wander around.
Thinking of the wealth of Xiangyun Village, Wang Qiaoer decided to take them to do a big vote.
Originally, she wanted to wait until Shen Ningning returned to Wolf Mountain in the evening, and then burn, kill and loot in Xiangyun Village.
A group of people even planned their escape routes.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei came to live in Shen Ningning's house at this time.
Men and women are guarded, and Grandma Qin asked the two of them to live on the mountain and the other on the mountain.
Wang Qiaoer revised the plan again, and at night she went to burn down the village chief's house and cause a disturbance.
So that everyone can't immediately know that there are people on Wolf Mountain.
Who would have thought that he had escaped Shen Ningning and the wolves, and had not escaped the crazy prince.
After the mountain bandits finished explaining, they pulled Jing Zhaoyin's sleeve hard.
"My lord, my lord, you must arrest us, and then go out, we must be killed by Wang Qiao'er, this woman!"
Jing Zhaoyin had a cold face and threw off his sleeves in disgust.
Then he asked Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning, who were sitting next to him, with a flattering face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, this group of people has just admitted that they used to be traitors and criminals, and they did all kinds of evil, and that Wang Qiao'er even had two lives on his hands."
In the past, when the other party did not give the silver, Wang Qiaoer stoned the father and son to death.
"Look, this Wang Qiao'er, is he sentenced to beheading or capital punishment?"
The reason why Jing Zhaoyin asked this was because it was clear that Wang Qiao'er was afraid that she had offended Princess Funing before.
Therefore, Shen Ningning was given a chance to vent.
Shen Ningning's eyes were clear and black: "Just do business." ”
Mo Lingwei smiled: "Well, then the five horses will be divided." ”
With that, the two left together.
Jing Zhaoyin stood alone in place, opening his mouth to speak.
Get! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's meaning couldn't be clearer.
Princess Funing is kind and can't bear to torture and kill prisoners, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't watch others bully the princess, so of course Wang Qiao'er can't die anymore.
Jing Zhaoyin gave the killing order on the same day.
Three days later, Wang Qiaoer was sentenced to death.
And the mountain bandits who were in the same stream with her, depending on the severity of the crime, were each beaten with 50 to 100 boards and imprisoned for several months.
The villagers of Xiangyun Village were very happy when they mentioned this incident.
A person like Wang Qiao'er who harbors evil intentions is clean when he dies!
She herself is not having a good time, and she still thinks about coming back to harm the village, which is really vicious.
However, the old village chief was still a little sad.
He sighed heavily: "If Fugui had been separated from her a long time ago, would it have been ......?"
Everyone could guess what he didn't finish.
There will be snow disasters everywhere, and the situation in Cangyun Country is not optimistic.
Every day, batches of people freeze to death on the side of the road.
If Deng Fugui is alone, he is afraid that he has already died in the snow disaster.

Time turns.
On the birthday of Shen Ningning and Lu, the banquet was more lively than Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xie Suzhi specially opened up a courtyard and used the entire mansion as a place for banquets.
The emperor and the crown prince, as well as the princes, grandchildren, nobles and powerful ministers, were all invited.
There were about 200 guests.
On the day of Shen Ningning's birthday banquet, the wide alley was jammed with gorgeous carriages.
Shen Ningning was wearing a very light ice blue dress, wearing a pair of hairpins, and her scattered black hair made the girl's cheeks white and red, like a new stamen.
She was sitting in front of the mirror, and Twilight and Late Spring were grooming her.
Ye Sheng came in from outside, and the firecrackers at one end were red paper.
Shen Ningning saw it in the mirror and sneered: "Sister Late Spring, you go and help her, what's the matter, run into the firecrackers?" ”
Ye Sheng stomped her feet, a little angry: "It's not all Lu Shaoyuan's fault!" He set off three big firecrackers outside, I don't know, I thought it was him today, and I made my skirt dirty, and I hated it to death. ”
After a while, Qi Xiuwei also came over to help.
"Xiangyi, you walked too fast, but fortunately, when you left, Lu Gongzi put two more hangings, and the ground trembled."
Shen Ningning blinked his round eyes: "What is he helping me do with firecrackers?" ”
"Who knows!" Ye Shangyi patted the red paper on her hair and finally cleaned it.
At this time, Fang Qingdai's voice came from the door.
"Rather be in the house?"
"Aunt Qingdai!" Shen Ningning's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went to open the door.
Fang Qingdai stood at the door with a smile on her face, and behind her was Liang Yici with an awkward face.
"Today, there are too many people in the front yard, so I want to come and see you alone."
The daughter of the deceased, Fang Qingdai thought to herself, how good it would be if Shen Siyi could see Shen Ningning and Lu with her own eyes.
She took out a box from her bosom and opened it to see that there was a jade Ruyi inside.
The back is engraved with a lotus pattern, and there is the word "heart mother" underneath.
Shen Ningning's eyes suddenly turned red: "This is ......"
"I heard that you also have a wish, so I specially invited a craftsman to take the original pattern and hit an identical one, which is considered a part of my mind, Ning Ning, and Lu Fangchen, the year is safe."
She hung Ruyi around the girl's neck.
Shen Ningning was moved, and her slender fingertips touched the back of Ruyi, the word Xinniang, and the pen was clear.
"Thank you, Aunt Qingdai, I love this gift."
Fang Qingdai smiled, and instead pushed Liang Yici forward.
"I'll go to the front yard to take a look, you Xie Mansion are big men, I'm afraid that there is something to worry about, Yici, you can stay and help Ning Ning."
After speaking, Fang Qingdai left.
Liang Yici and Shen Ningning looked at each other, and she coughed a little embarrassed.
"What do you want me to help with?"
There is still a while before the auspicious time of the New Year's greetings, and there is actually nothing to be busy with, but it doesn't seem good to let Liang Yici wait.
Shen Ningning thought for a while: "If you are free, help me sort out the gift list of the guests over there and check the names." ”
Ye Shangyi immediately agreed.
The three of them acted separately, Shen Ningning combed her makeup, and it was inconvenient to go out again, just waiting for the auspicious time.
At this time, the girl took advantage of everyone's inattention and went around behind the screen.
In a flash, she entered the fairyland.
Shen Ningning walked into the Thunder Palace, took out the letter he had written last night from his sleeve, and gently placed it on top of an instrument.
"I heard Master Gu say that my mother used to control the growth in the fairyland here, if my mother and I still have fate, I hope to see this letter."
The girl murmured: "Mother, I have grown up, and today I am going to be in time, and you have been away from us for fifteen years, when will you come back?" ”
Shen Ningning sighed, and was about to leave, but suddenly there was an alarm sound of "Didi" behind him.
