Wu Yong pursed his lips and said to Wei Ping, who was several ranks higher than him, "Yes, Lord Wei, although the Junior Tutor is not afraid of these things, it still doesn't sound good, does it?"
After hearing the story from the group, Wei Ping felt quite embarrassed. He quickly recounted what had happened during his previous lecture to them.
He added, "I will take people to the Liu family in a while. After the case is cleared up, I will explain to the outside world that I received guidance from the Junior Tutor today."
That expression was because he was so surprised.
Cai Xuan, who often worked with Wei Ping on cases, had a sudden thought. Something was wrong. He knew Wei Ping too well. He wouldn't have this expression over a single case. There must be something else going on.
So he glanced at Wei Ping and said, "Old Wei, look, we've been colleagues for so many years, and now, because of the Junior Tutor, we're all in the same boat again."
He pointed at Feng Tang and Wu Yong, and continued, "If something happens to you, you can't hide it from us. Whether it's good news or bad news, we'll face it together."
Feng Tang immediately realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, Lord Wei, please speak frankly. We will help you if we can!"
Wu Yong was a little stunned, but he nodded along with the crowd.
Wei Ping: I believed your lies! Especially that old fox Cai Xian, he's incredibly cunning!
Knowing he couldn't hide it, Wei Ping had no intention of keeping it a secret anyway; he was eager to find someone in the know to brag about it!
He coughed twice, his face beaming with joy, and said, "I heard the young master say that in a few days, on my birthday, she will give me a strange book called 'Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified' as a birthday gift!"
Upon hearing that the Junior Tutor would be giving Wei Ping a birthday gift, Cai Xuan and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with jealousy!
The Junior Tutor not only remembered this guy's birthday, but also planned to give him a gift. How could the three people whose birthdays were still a few months away not be envious?
Envy and jealousy slowly surrounded Wei Ping. If he hadn't remembered that this was a government office, and Wei Ping's territory, he would definitely have gotten into a fight!
At least Cai Xian, as the Minister, wouldn't stand idly by while watching his smug face!
Cai Xian was not only a minister, but also the Minister of Justice. He and Wei Ping were colleagues, one in charge of the Ministry of Justice and the other in charge of the Court of Judicial Review.
The title "Collected Cases of Injustice Rectified" sounds like a perfect match for my profession!
He chuckled twice, then finally couldn't resist rubbing his hands together, deciding to try diplomacy first before resorting to force.
So he tried to negotiate with Wei Ping, saying, "Lord Wei, once we get the book, could you lend it to me to take a look?"
Wei Ping originally wanted to feign refusal to gain some benefits for himself, but then he heard Cai Xian continue, "Look, it's because of the relationship between you and the Junior Tutor."
"I might receive a gift for my birthday in two months, and I'll definitely share it with my brother then."
Wei Ping thought about it and realized it made sense. The Junior Tutor was actually a very easy person to get along with, and he treated all of them quite well. Cai Xian, that old rascal, might actually be able to get a birthday gift.
But thinking of his peculiar hobby, I couldn't help but say, "What if the Junior Tutor gives you a recipe sometime? Like how to make a kind of pancake!"
Tsai Hsien: !!!
It's not impossible!
However, upon thinking of the crispy and fragrant crust of the crispy pancake, Cai Xian silently swallowed and said in a serious tone, "Does Lord Wei think that the crispy pancake is not fragrant, crispy, or delicious?"
The day after the Junior Tutor taught him the recipe, his colleagues demanded that he bring the food that the Junior Tutor had praised to them so they could also try it.
So many of these people have used the guise of tasting his cakes to actually eat them.
Before Wei Ping could say anything more, Wu Yong, who was swallowing hard, said, "The recipe of the Junior Tutor is excellent, and the crumbly pie is even more superb. I think it is very delicious."
Cai Xian felt like he had found a kindred spirit, and even the chubby Wu Yong seemed much more pleasing to the eye. "Young Master Wu also thinks it's delicious, right!"
He glanced at Wei Ping again, "Just be quick, tell me if it's okay or not!"
Looking at the sky outside, Wei Ping decided not to argue with him any longer and readily agreed, "Okay, it's settled then."
He cupped his hands in greeting to the group and said, "Gentlemen, I still need to take some men to investigate the Liu family, so I won't keep you any longer!"
Wu Yong looked at Cai Xian and Feng Tang, who were walking with Wei Ping, with a bit of envy. It was a pity that this case had nothing to do with his department, otherwise he could have followed along to watch the excitement!
Wei Ping acted quickly. When Yue Fuguang finished her studies, the officials who passed by her from afar would quickly bow and greet her.
The two older sisters looked at her with starry eyes the whole way, but Yue Fuguang was completely baffled and full of questions.
After the system explained it to her, she learned the cause and effect of the matter, and that it was related to the case from that morning.
Because of this small case, the Young Master's persona of being a "master of deduction" was inexplicably established!
Back at the Yu residence, Yue Fuguang ate and drank her fill and then started feeling 'carb-phobic' again. Before she had slept for long, she heard the system calling her.
[Host, Chonghua and Zhou Yunxin are dead, and Bai Yu is dead too!]
"They're all dead. When did this happen? How do you know?"
Just these past two days, when I checked my points balance, I suddenly discovered that my points had increased by 6,000.
"Three people, isn't 2,000 points for one life a bit too little?"
[That's quite a lot. Zhou Fushan only has 1,500 points, Xu Changyue has 3,000, and the others are even less than the two of them. Their scores might be higher when King Qi and King Ming die.]
So, these three people having 6,000 points is already pretty good! These aren't counted in the mission points; they're considered extra rewards. Host, be content!
Her perspective was dictated by her position, and she wasn't surprised that the system spoke up for its own 'company.' But thinking about it, she realized there was some truth to it; something free was better than nothing.
So he asked about another matter: "How did they die? Was it Emperor Mingxi who did it?"
After Bai Yu was secretly arrested from Xie Zhiyao's marriage procession by Huo Ying's men, she was imprisoned in the imperial prison and interrogated, but died from the torture.
Upon hearing of Zhou Yunxin's death, the emperor deemed Chonghua pointless to keep him alive and personally executed him.
Yue Fuguang nodded. "Revenge is only truly satisfying when you fight in person. By the way, Zhou Yunxin didn't die at the Emperor's hands, did she die of illness?"
It was Consort De who did it, and she was so frightened that she was heartbroken for a day.
"Consort De? She seems to be like Consort Xin, the mother of the Fourth Prince, an invisible person in the palace. I have never seen her."
【Master, Consort Xin feigns illness year-round, and Consort De spends her days in seclusion, chanting Buddhist prayers and never leaving her small Buddhist shrine; naturally, you will never see them.】
Upon hearing the system call her "Master," Yue Fuguang's eyes flickered, and she followed its lead, asking, "What grudge does Consort De hold against Zhou Yunxin?"
The hatred of killing her son and the resentment of destroying her life. Consort De's original name was Bai Weiyin. Not only was her name beautiful, but she was also very beautiful.
After entering the palace, she indeed took away a lot of Zhou Yunxin's favor from Emperor Mingxi, which made Zhou Yunxin jealous from the beginning and she became a thorn in her side.
Bai Weiyin became pregnant after only a few months in the palace and receiving the emperor's favor. Later, the imperial physician said it was a boy.
At this time, the Ninth Prince was only one year old. Zhou Yunxin was afraid that her son would be overshadowed by Bai Weiyin's son, just like her, and that he would lose the Emperor's favor.
