Chapter 661: Clearing the Wrongs
Zhao Yunxuan stood at the door to greet him. Although the weather was good today, he did not take off his black cloak.
Perhaps because he had been dealing with too many things, his complexion was paler than when we first met, and his brows revealed fatigue.
Mu Qing helped Hu Xin'er get off the carriage. When the couple arrived at the door, he was the first to ask, "Why did Master Zhao invite us here?"
Zhao Yunxuan was about to answer when a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Master Yin, what is this?"
Yin Li walked out from the back of the carriage with a sullen look on her face. She glanced at him and said, "I have nothing better to do, so I came to visit you, a sickly person. What's the matter? Do you have any objections?"
Hu Xin'er was stunned: "Aren't you not coming?"
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows. He understood Yin Li's thoughts.
Yin Li is a man of great self-confidence and thick skin. Although he has been rejected many times, he still remains infatuated. Facing Zhao Yunxuan, his nominal rival in love, he is extremely vigilant. How could he let Hu Xiner keep the date?
Even if I go to the appointment, he has to be by my side to feel at ease.
Yin Li was keenly aware of Mu Qing's subtle expression, and her expression became even more grim. "You two are going to an appointment, why should I follow you? I just came to see this sick monk."
He deliberately emphasized the three words "sick monk" to indicate that Zhao Yunxuan was a sick monk and definitely not someone he could marry.
Hu Xiner didn't realize this meaning at all, because in her heart, she and Zhao Yunxuan had no connection at all, okay?
As for matters of past and present lives, although she has witnessed many supernatural things, she still agrees with materialism in her heart.
Even if they acknowledge the existence of mysterious forces, they still firmly believe that man can conquer nature. This is the last stubbornness of those who have received nine years of compulsory education.
At this time, she and Zhao Yunxuan had only met each other and were not even friends. Mu Qing's reaction was normal... Who would rashly get jealous of someone else?
She nodded, a little surprised: "Do you know each other?"
Although Wanjuan Pavilion is hidden in the world, many people know Yin Li's true appearance. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yin Li was recognized.
But, wasn't Zhao Yunxuan cultivating in the mountains because of his frail body? How could he have had the chance to go out and meet Yin Li?
Zhao Yunxuan's eyes swept between the three people, then looked at Hu Xiner's belly. Thinking that there was a lovely little life growing in it, his eyes couldn't help but soften a little.
However, Yin Li is still behaving as recklessly as before. The couple is doing well, why is he interfering between them?
Seeing the three people's expressions were somewhat subtle, as if they didn't believe what he said, Yin Li waved his fan and said, "Everyone, get out of my way. This sick monk was brought to my Wanjuan Pavilion twenty years ago to seek medicine and almost recognized me as his godfather. Isn't it only natural for me to be his guest?"
He walked in with a swagger. The remaining three people looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at his handsome back.
After entering the hall, everyone took their seats. Zhao Yunxuan clenched his fist under his lips and coughed lightly, explaining, "Your family is very busy, and I apologize for disturbing you without permission. However, Zhou Qingyan and Prefect Shen, who have been causing trouble in Qingzhou for many years, have been imprisoned and will be executed soon. That's why I asked you to come here to explain some things."
He treated Hu Xin'er with particular respect. He specially arranged a cushion on the chair he prepared for her, and even the tea had a faint medicinal fragrance, which made people feel refreshed and at ease after smelling it.
"Execution?" Although Mu Qing didn't know much about political affairs, he had talked to Lu Yunjue about a lot of related matters in the past few days in order to ease his mood.
This includes what will be the fate of Prefect Shen and others.
Although these people are extremely vicious and guilty of grave crimes, they are generally not executed on the spot. Precisely because their crimes are too serious and they fall into the hands of people like Zhao Yunxuan who are personally sent by the emperor, they will be escorted back to the capital and interrogated again by the Dali Temple before the emperor makes the final decision.
Therefore, Mu Qing was somewhat surprised when he heard that Prefect Shen and others were going to be executed so soon.
Zhao Yunxuan nodded without further explanation. Instead, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Hu Xiner personally.
Although the paper was thin, it contained all the sins that Prefect Shen and others had committed over the years.
"It turns out that Prefect Shen and the Zhou family are old friends, so he planted the Zhou family as a chess piece when he took office." The couple put their heads together and looked at the crimes inside carefully.
Zhao Yunxuan explained at the right moment: "In prison, Zhou Chenghe confessed everything, but Miss Zhou was a stubborn person..."
Prefect Shen had a good plan. He let the Zhou family do all the dirty work. On the surface, he did nothing wrong except shielding the Zhou family.
However, the content on the second piece of paper was even more shocking, because this was the sin committed by the Zhou family.
The Zhou family's headquarters is in Qingzhou, but as their power grows, countless minions roam around in the name of business. The master of the Zhou family, who is not at home at the moment, is doing this kind of business.
These include but are not limited to opening casinos, engaging in assassination business, running brothels to gather information, etc.
"If I remember correctly, Zhao Si's godfather was driven crazy because he accidentally got involved in the casino business," Hu Xin'er murmured. "After they were eliminated, Zhao Si was finally able to live a peaceful life with his godfather."
At this time, a person came out from behind the screen with a smile: "Sister God of Wealth still remembers me, I am so touched!"
The young man's clothes were not fancy, but his almond-shaped eyes gave off an air of nobility for no reason. It was just because of his overall temperament that this nobility seemed to contain a hint of cunning.
If it’s not Zhao Si, then who else could it be?
Hu Xin'er asked in surprise, "Why are you here too, hiding behind someone else's screen?"
Zhao Yunxuan glanced at Zhao Si and was about to speak when Zhao Si spoke first, "Of course I'm here to seek justice! My godfather has been feigning insanity for so many years, how much has he suffered? I must make them pay for it all!"
After saying that, he quickly ran behind Hu Xin'er and patted her shoulders attentively: "Thanks to Sister Caishen, otherwise, I don't know how many years it would take to clear this injustice."
As the baby got older, Hu Xiner was indeed getting more tired more easily than before. She was very pleased with Zhao Si's attentiveness, and the true love that this young man had for his godfather also made her look sideways.
If you think about it carefully, it really hasn't been easy for this young man to struggle so hard over the years.
but……
"Is your godfather pretending to be crazy?" She was a little surprised.
Zhao Si nodded: "Yes, I only found out after I brought him into the mansion..."
It turned out that after learning that both Shen and Zhou's families were arrested, Zhao Si begged Zhao Yunxuan to send someone to help him protect his godfather, and successfully brought his godfather into the mansion.
