Chen Xiu held the hilt of the knife at his waist with a fierce look in his eyes.
If we were to say who in the court he disliked the most, Censor Xia would be the first one to come to mind.
It is clear that when the emperor was still in power, Censor Xia was a pretty good person.
Ever since the Queen came to power, this fence-sitter has been swayed by the wind.
Seeing that Censor Xia was gritting his teeth and glaring, Chen Xiu ignored him.
But he said loudly.
"Except Liu Quanzheng, all members of the Su family will be besieged!"
"No! This is against the rules! Search everyone, search them all!" Censor Xia blocked the door.
Fearing that Chen Xiu would be embarrassed, Su Huaiyi took the initiative to step forward.
"Sir, search me!"
Chen Xiu waved his hand and two officers searched him.
Only then did Censor Xia feel relieved.
"Humph, it should have been done long ago!"
Liu Xia signaled with her eyes while holding the child.
Li understood immediately and secretly stuffed the purse into the swaddling clothes.
Although she didn't know how Xia'er would hide, she still believed her.
Liu Xia used the swaddling clothes to put the bulging pouch into the space.
Chen Xiu naturally saw what the two people did, but he turned a blind eye.
"There's no need to look at the doll!"
"No!" Censor Xia blew his beard and glared.
He specifically opposed Chen Xiu.
Originally, it was not appropriate for him to come to such a small village in his capacity, but when he saw Chen Xiu had received the task, he took the initiative to follow.
The most important thing is that the Empress attaches great importance to Chen Xiu.
Fortunately, this kid is stubborn.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one who could have a say around the Empress! Without saying anything, Chen Xiu picked up the knife that he had deliberately dropped on the ground.
He pulled out half of it. "Strange, how did this knife fall to the ground? Censor Xia, can you help me take a look?"
Censor Xia snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked out.
His robe was hanging down to his legs and was swaying.
How dare Chen Xiu threaten him? When he returns to Beijing, his Chen family will be in trouble!
All the people with the surname Su in Qingshan Village were arrested.
It’s better for the young ones, as they don’t have to be handcuffed with heavy chains.
Liu Quanzheng packed his bag quickly. The soldiers did not take away anything in his room, but all the food, chickens, pigs, and silver from the Su family were looted.
If Chen Xiu hadn't spoken, he might have lost his house.
Wang Erniu learned that the Su family had been arrested, so he took Wang Lin to find Liu Quanzheng.
"Uncle Liu, what are you doing?"
"The only way to have a chance of survival is to go find Guan Qing. The officers and soldiers won't let me follow you, so I plan to go to the capital first."
Liu Quanzheng carried the bag on his back.
Wang Erniu put his big hand on Liu Quanzheng's shoulder and said, "Uncle Liu, come home with me first. Linlin and I will go with you. Let's go to the county and rent a carriage. We can take a shortcut to enter the capital."
"I'll go with you!" Widow Tian ran to the Su family, panting, carrying a simple bag.
…
Li held Xingxue in one hand and touched Su Yun's head with the other.
Guaiguai just suffered a lot some time ago, and now this happens again after we finally recovered!
She forced herself to comfort Su Yun.
"Don't be afraid, dear. Don't be afraid."
"Grandma, I'm fine." Su Yun tilted her head back and forced a smile.
[I just can't understand why it has become like this. ]
Seeing that the sun was getting hot, Chen Xiu raised his hand.
"Everyone take a break!"
The team stopped.
The officers and soldiers began to distribute water and food.
Each person was given a sip of water and a blackened steamed bun.
There were so many people around that Liu Xia didn't dare to ask for special treatment.
The Su family could only eat their steamed buns obediently.
Su Yun got angry and bit the steamed bread, almost breaking her teeth.
[This steamed bread? Why is it so hard? ]
"Good boy, it will be better if you eat this way."
"Thank you, grandma." Su Yun swallowed it in a few bites.
As long as she ate quickly, she wouldn't be able to taste the strange flavor.
Su Ruiwen and Su Xingxue were still breastfeeding. Li blocked their way for them, and then Liu Xia lifted their clothes to feed them.
The two babies burped after eating and drinking their fill, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Su Bing inquired, "Master Chen, can this case be overturned?"
"The case has been handed over to the Dali Temple for investigation. I don't know the details."
Chen Xiu told the truth.
The situation in the court is changing rapidly now, and there are three forces competing.
Minister Su is just a stepping stone.
He had a premonition that if his Chen family did not take sides, the same fate would probably befall them.
Su Bing nodded silently.
Censor Xia was keeping an eye on Chen Xiu all the time, and when he saw the two talking, he rushed over immediately.
"Right Minister Chen, why haven't you left yet after lunch? Can you handle the delay?"
[The people of the Xia family are really not good people. The Zhao family is the work of this damn old man. They are so evil! ]
Su Yun stared secretly.
[Fortunately, this old man will die of a stroke soon! It seems that we need to make him angry more so that he will die sooner! ]
"Grandma, that old man is so anxious, is he in a hurry to reincarnate?" Su Yun's voice was not loud, but everyone around could hear it.
Li quickly covered Su Yun's mouth, "Don't dare to say anything nonsense! Only people with merit can be reincarnated. Those without merit will be reborn as animals!"
"Are you looking for death?" Censor Xia stepped forward, his chest heaving with anger.
Just as he was about to vent his anger by kicking a few times, a dazzling big knife appeared in front of him.
Censor Xia became even angrier, and his fingers were shaking.
"Chen Youshilang, do you want to rebel? If you touch me, you will be slapping the queen in the face!"
"According to the laws of the Great Qin, officials in the court are not allowed to beat civilians!" Chen Xiu said quietly and retracted the knife.
Censor Xia almost bit his teeth, and so did the emperor, wondering what laws were being set.
Fortunately, the Queen is in power now.
Once Her Majesty holds all the real power in her hands, all these damn laws will be abolished.
Suddenly, Censor Xia felt a sharp pain in his head.
He quickly sat down to rest.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiu stood up.
"Set off!"
The team moved forward again, and Censor Xia could only follow.
He wanted to sit on the carriage board, but he heard Chen Xiu's voice again.
"Xia Yushi, this cart is for transporting grain, but it can't handle you sitting on it."
Ahhh, he's really pissed off!
Censor Xia wanted to kill Chen Xiu, but it was just a thought.
He remained silent, enduring the throbbing pain in his head and walking slowly.
[Pfft~ Master Xiu and my grandma are so awesome, I really hope they can get mad to death soon! So they won’t cause any more trouble to others! ]
Su Yun smiled secretly and stretched out her hand.
"Grandma, let me hold my sister for a while."
Su Bing had been holding Ruiwen for a while, and he was afraid that Liu Xia would be tired.
Seeing this, Su Huaiyi quickly picked up Xingxue and said, "Grandpa, hold me!"
After walking and stopping many times, we finally arrived in the capital.
Su Yun's family was also taken to a damp prison.
As soon as Su Yun came in, she saw Su Xiyue's family in the cage on the right.
[What's going on? Why weren't Su Xiyue's family recognized back in the Ronghou Mansion? Could it be that she didn't do it? But who framed Nan Yuechu's jade pendant to Grandpa Shangshu? ]
"Sister Yun." Su Yuansheng held the railing of the cell.
He called out softly.
The disheveled old man in the cage on the left raised his head and looked at Su Yun.
His old eyes were hidden by his hair, making it difficult to see his expression.
Su Yun approached, she had a lot to ask. Because Su Xiyue had good hearing, she wrote on the ground with her finger: Brother Yuansheng, has anyone's eldest wife passed away in the capital recently?
After writing, Su Yun immediately wiped it off with her foot.
