Chapter 112: Cut What Needs to Be Cut

Su Nuobai didn't go to set up the stall today, and there was no one on the street when he went there.

Almost all the people in Shengjing City gathered in front of the Ministry of Justice.

There were even some people standing far away who couldn't hear, so the yamen runners passed the messages in the middle, shouting out the trial process sentence by sentence for everyone to hear simultaneously.

Su Nuobai and Feng Zhi stood at the back of the yamen lobby and watched.

The presiding judge of today's case is Lu Heyu, and he will handle it together with the Dali Temple.

The families of their deceased relatives also came forward to testify and sue them for the crimes they committed.

From morning till evening, all the people involved in the case, from the Earl's Mansion to the son of a sixth-rank official, were included.

Cai Boyi was the main culprit and was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, to be executed immediately.

His mother protected him, deprived him of his imperial decree and exiled him to work in the mines, never to return.

His father was a poor parent and stripped him of his title of earl, demoted him to a commoner, and exiled him and his family to the frontier, never to return to Beijing.

Su Jingye was sentenced to stay in the mine and never be able to return.

Su Deyi was also a poor parent and his official position was demoted to that of chief clerk.

…

Those who should be chopped off were chopped off, and those who should be punished were punished. In just one night, the sky in Shengjing City seemed to have changed.

The people whose injustices were redressed cried and laughed, and more people praised Lu Heyu.

Lord Qi was transferred to the capital to fill the vacancy, which can be regarded as compensation from His Majesty.

There was also a reshuffle of personnel in the court, which was something Xi Jinyou had not expected.

After Cai Boyi was sentenced, he was taken directly to serve his sentence.

Su Nuobai was not interested in watching, but he saw Xie Gungun and Fan Jiujiu in the crowd.

After watching the torture, the people from the Qi family came to the Gui tribe with red eyes.

The Qi sisters said goodbye to Lord Qi in their dreams last night, and we will send them off tonight.

Madam Qi was supported by her two grandsons: "Master Su, thank you for your help."

"It's not a problem. Just remember to pay me the reward." Su Nuobai had a smile on his face.

Madam Qi smiled faintly: "That's natural."

Su Nuobai asked the two sisters of the Qi family to reveal their souls: "Say goodbye to your family!"

The two sisters of the Qi family knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Old Lady Qi and Madam Qi: "Mother, grandmother is your granddaughter. I am unfilial and cannot always be by your side."

"May you be healthy, free from illness and disaster, and live a long life."

After they finished speaking, they looked at their two brothers and said, "Big brother, second brother, from now on, we will ask you to help us fulfill our filial duties to our grandmother and parents."

Qi Yuanshi looked at her two sisters with red eyes: "We will take good care of grandma and parents, don't worry."

Qi Yuange felt uncomfortable and turned his head to look.

Su Nuobai waved his hand to open the ghost gate and recited the "Saving People Sutra" for them.

The two of them avenged those who were murdered, and in disguise, they also accumulated blessings for themselves.

Circles of scriptures with a faint golden light flowed into the bodies of the two people until they entered the ghost gate.

When the Qi family saw them entering the ghost gate, they all burst into tears.

Old Madam Qi and Madam Qi fainted from crying.

Qi Yuange quickly asked someone to help the two of them back to their residence to call a doctor.

Qi Yuanshi took a box and handed it to Su Nuobai: "Master Su, this is your reward. We will come to thank you in person when my father arrives in Beijing."

Feng Zhi stepped forward, took the box, and stood behind him.

Lu Heyu stood aside at some point and said, "Master Su, do you want to go to the Ministry of Justice cafeteria for dinner?"

"Okay!" Su Nuobai walked towards him with his hands behind his back: "I wonder what delicious food there is in the cafeteria today."

Lu Heyu: "You'll know when you get there."

There were quite a few people eating in the Ministry of Justice cafeteria today, and they all stood up and saluted when they saw the two of them.

Lu Heyu waved his hand: "Eat well, everyone, you have all worked hard during this period."

Su Nuobai ignored him and ran to see what delicious food was available in the cafeteria today.

Lao Yu was the canteen's chef. He had heard of her name a long time ago, but this was the first time he saw her. "Master Su, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Su Nuobai looked at the various delicious foods, including chicken and fish, Qianli lamb, goose powder skewers, Qiqiao dim sum, jujube paste cakes, cherry wine, Yujing rice, etc.

Everything looks delicious, it’s hard to choose!

She looked at Lao Yu eagerly: "Can I eat everything?"

"Of course, I'll get you one of each. Just find a place to sit and I'll bring it to you later."

Su Nuobai happily found a place to sit down and looked around waiting for the delicious food to be served.

Feng Zhi sat down next to her and said, "Miss, I'm afraid the shop can't accommodate any more little beggars."

Lu Heyu sat down opposite them and asked: "How many beggars can your shop accommodate?"

"Before, we didn't have money, so we bought a house wherever it was cheaper. Now we need to accommodate more children, so I'm afraid we have to find other ways."

Su Nuobai rested his chin on the table with his hands.

Lu Heyu helped Old Yu put the food on the table: "There are quite a few open spaces outside Shengjing City, but they are a bit far away."

Su Nuobai's eyes lit up: "How could I have forgotten this? If there is no land in the city, I can just buy land outside the city and build it myself."

Lu Heyu pushed a bowl of rice in front of her and said, "Eat first. I'll have Xinggui bring you the files on the manor and land being sold later."

Su Nuobai was in a good mood and did not forget to pick up some food for Feng Zhi and Lu Heyu while eating.

Yesterday's case shocked the entire Shengjing. Even when Su Nuobai went out to set up a stall, he could still hear Uncle Jia and others talking about it.

An old woman sat in front of Su Nuobai: "Master."

Su Nuobai looked at the woman in front of him. She must be from a well-off family. She was wearing silk and had a maidservant and a servant following her.

"I wonder what this lady wants to calculate?"

Hu Rong was a little confused about how to start, but she finally gritted her teeth and asked, "Master, I want to ask, what's going on between my son and daughter-in-law?"

"They've been married for almost seven years, and they only had one grandson, and then there's been no news since."

"You said my son doesn't have a concubine or a maid. Even though I have a grandson, I still feel like something is missing."

"I think they usually get along pretty well. They never argue or get angry, and they sleep in the same yard every day."

Su Nuobai looked at her face and found the answer really a bit confusing!

"Madam, having a grandson isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's no need to force some things."

Hu Rong frowned. "I know one grandson is good, but other families have several, but we only have one."

"I just want to know whether it's my son's problem or my daughter-in-law's problem."

"The doctors who should have checked them out said there was nothing wrong with their bodies, but why are they still gone?"

Uncle Jia and the others also pricked up their ears, waiting for Su Nuobai to answer their questions.

Su Nuobai had a headache. How should he say this? "Has Madam asked her son?"

"I asked! He said that they have a good relationship as husband and wife and don't need a concubine." Hu Rong was very worried.

Uncle Jia couldn't help but say: "They are a couple with a good relationship, and you are not happy."

"Of course I'm happy to do it, but I just feel like there's something strange about the way they get along. If you say they have a good relationship, then they've never had a fight."

"You said the relationship is bad, but I always feel like there's a mountain between us. I can't explain this feeling."
