Taoist Qingchen carried the person to a chair and sat him down.
"Jiu Jun, you don't have to be sad about this! It is precisely because there are injustices of all kinds in the world that we need to save all living beings.
If we solve each case we see, there will be less evil in the world."
Nangong Jiu was comforted: "Qingchen is right, we strive to be worthy of our conscience and the people of the world.
These days, while we are resting, we will go out more often and try to do more for the people.
By the way, Qingchen, you guys stay here for a few more days and return to Lingyin Temple after my birthday. By then, we should also return to the capital."
"Yes, Qingchen thinks so too."
In the afternoon, Nangong Jiu asked Liu Hao for the address of Zhu Xuejing's uncle's house, and went out with Taoist Qingchen and others.
We walked around and around, playing as we went, and as if by chance, we arrived at the gate of Uncle Zhu Xuejing's house.
"Your Majesty, shall we go in?"
Nangong Jiu took a deep breath and said, "Go in stealthily. I hope it won't be as I expected. Otherwise, I will make them pay a heavy price."
Zhu Mansion's study.
Several adults from Uncle Zhu Xuejing's family were gathered in the study or flower hall to discuss matters.
Nangong Jiu and his group slipped into the study while the servants were delivering tea.
After sending the servants away and closing the door, Madam Zhu said worriedly, "Master, something is happening to the Zhou family now. Will it affect us?"
"Bang bang bang"
Zhu Xuejing's uncle Zhu Shiqian slammed the desk in anger.
"Are you scared now? It's all your fault! I didn't agree to marry Xue Jing to the Zhou family in the first place. It was you who insisted on marrying Xue Jing off in such a hurry."
"Master, why are you blaming me? Didn't you object at first?
I was worried that she would come to her senses and ask us to return the business and property, so I was anxious to get her married. It just so happened that the Zhou family found a matchmaker, so I went along with it.
Besides, we didn't know the Zhou family was so bold. Not only did they want the girl's dowry, they even dared to force her to death."
Zhu Shiqian gritted his teeth and said, "As the elders of Zhu Xuejing's family, she got into trouble only two months after her marriage. If we look into it carefully, we are guilty of negligence and dereliction of duty."
"Dad, Mom, there are all kinds of things being said about this matter.
Some say that our family coveted my uncle’s family’s property and kicked Zhu Xuejing out; some say that we accepted some benefits from the Zhou family and colluded with them to frame Zhu Xuejing…”
"What's even more infuriating is that they say we were responsible for the trouble at my uncle's house, all in order to seize his family property..."
Zhu Shiqian was furious when he heard his two sons talking back and forth.
"Shut up, everyone! It's fine if the people outside are talking nonsense, but you are also meddling in it.
The main reason I called you here today is to remind you that Zhu Xuejing’s death has nothing to do with us, so don’t panic.
If the officials ask about it, just say that we didn't agree with this marriage at all and tried to stop it. It was only because she insisted on getting married and even threatened to commit suicide that we had no choice but to agree."
"That's obviously not the case..."
Zhu Shiqian glared at his son.
"Just listen to me. She's dead anyway, so there's no evidence. This way it can save a lot of trouble. Do you understand?"
"oh."
"Got it!" Mrs. Zhu and her two sons nodded in agreement.
Zhu Shiqian glanced at his wife, his eyes flashing slightly.
Nangong Jiu, who was in the dark, carefully observed the expressions of several people. Seeing that they had almost finished talking, he separated a wisp of spiritual consciousness and explored their sea of consciousness respectively.
When he explored the sea of consciousness of Zhu Shiqian and his wife, Nangong Jiu's little face was tense, his eyes were full of fire, and his little hands were clenching with a "cracking" sound.
He leaped up, climbed onto the beam, took out a small bundle and put it into his small pocket.
Taoist Qingchen saw that she was about to hit someone with her fist raised, so he bent down and pulled her into his arms. He then winked at Xiao Wang Xiaoxing, and the group left the Zhu Mansion.
"Jiu Jun, besides being negligent and negligent in pushing Zhu Xuejing's marriage, is there anything else going on?"
Nangong Jiu hugged Taoist Qingchen's neck and suddenly felt exhausted. "Qingchen, I often hear people say, 'People die for money, and birds die for food.' It turns out that family ties and human relationships are so vulnerable in the face of wealth and power."
"Jiu Jun, could it be..."
"Yes, the thing we least want to see has really happened. Let's go back to find Daddy."
The group flew directly.
Liu Hao's study.
After Nangong Jiu and his group returned home, they went directly to Liu Hao's study.
Liu Hao, who was handling official business, looked up.
"Jiu'er, have you been to the Zhu Mansion?"
"Dad, Zhu Xuejing's marriage was pushed by her uncle Zhu Shiqian and his family. They were afraid that she would come to her senses and take back the business and property, so they hurriedly kicked her out.
Zhu Xuejing's parents and brother were her uncle Zhu Shiqian and his wife. They were greedy for money and hired assassins to kill her.
Zhu Shiqian placed the evidence of the transaction on the beam of his study. I have retrieved it for you.
They hired a killer gang called the Blood Spirit Temple."
Nangong Jiu said as he took out the small bundle from his pocket and handed it to Liu Hao.
Liu Hao was shocked. "You said Zhu Shiqian and his wife were the murderers behind that accident?"
"Yes, they are very cautious. I only found out by exploring their sea of consciousness."
Liu Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, leave it to me. You don't look well, go back and rest."
"Well, Daddy, all the property of Zhu Xuejing's family will be taken back to help those poor people and children.
Don't let those two wolves and tigers get away with it. This can be considered as a good deed for Zhu Xuejing's family. If they knew about this in the afterlife, they would feel better. "
"Okay, I understand. I'll hand this matter over to my subordinates tomorrow.
Go check on your mother. She's been busy since the afternoon. I wonder what delicious food she's preparing."
Watching Nangong Jiu and his group walk away, Liu Hao felt distressed.
Jiuer's face looked bad, probably because she was very angry. I hope the food can make her feel better.
The main courtyard kitchen.
Starting from the afternoon, Nangong Yunxue went straight into the kitchen to make everyone's favorite food.
Nangong Jiu's four-joy meatballs and braised chicken legs, Xiao Wang Xiaoxing's roast chicken, Taoist Qingchen and his friends' first-class tofu, cold-mixed mushrooms, and garlic-mashed cowpeas...
Nangong Jiu rushed into the kitchen in one breath: "Mother, thank you for your hard work!"
"You guys are back so soon? How is it? Tell mother quickly."
Nangong Jiu was a little reluctant to say more: "Mother, can I help you?"
Nangong Yunxue was busy with her work and didn't look at Nangong Jiu's expression.
"No need! You are still young now. You can help your mother when you grow up. When the time comes, we can do it together, one of us will do it, and the other will help. I am looking forward to it just thinking about it."
You, stand there now and tell your mother about your harvest this afternoon."
Nangong Jiu said in a muffled voice: "The result is something we don't want to see.
"Mother, do you think money is more important than family? Why do some people kill each other for money and power, and are even more ruthless than outsiders?"
Nangong Yunxue finally noticed that Nangong Jiu was in a bad mood, so she stopped what she was doing and looked at Nangong Jiu.
"Jiu'er, look at your ten fingers, what's the difference?"
