The illusion array was set up with the magic fruit as its base, and would not cause any harm to Cai Kuo's body, but mentally, he suffered great damage.
Because he saw all the people he had killed in the past turned into evil spirits to seek revenge on him!
Cai Kuo was so scared that he peed his pants, so when questioned by the evil ghost played by Xue Huan, he confessed everything.
Xue Huan had previously obtained an account book from her brother-in-law Qian Dazhi. The account book contained a mystery that she had never figured out. Now, combined with the various things revealed by Cai Kuo, she finally knew how to interpret this account book.
This account book is important physical evidence.
Then, Xue Huan found many physical evidences of Cai Kuo's bribery in his study, such as the letters he exchanged with wealthy businessmen who respected him, and the gold, silver and jewelry he hid in the secret room.
After gathering all the evidence, Xue Huan packed everything up, sneaked into the Ye Mansion, and placed them on the eldest master's desk.
As the Fifth Prince's in-laws, the Ye family was destined to stand on the Fifth Prince's side. However, she saw clearly at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet last time that the Fifth Prince and the Second Prince, who served under Cai Kuo, did not get along well.
Therefore, if the things are handed over to the Ye family, the Ye family will definitely hand them over to the Fifth Prince. Will the Fifth Prince miss such an opportunity to suppress the Second Prince?
Even if things don't go as she expected, she can always start the second plan.
Anyway, Cai Kuo has made up her mind this time!
Things went much more smoothly than Xue Huan had expected. She didn't know how the Fifth Prince handled it, but not long after, Cai Kuo was escorted to the capital by the imperial envoy from the capital.
In the end, all the male members of the Cai family were exiled to the frontier, and the female members were sent to the Jiaofangsi and confiscated into the status of slaves.
There are two types of household registration in the Daqi Dynasty: good household registration and bad household registration. Good household registration basically refers to people engaged in the four industries of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, while bad household registration includes prostitutes, slaves, etc.
People who have been classified as slaves are basically equivalent to inferior people. They have no human rights. They are equivalent to the property of their masters or the institutions they belong to, and can be bought, sold, beaten and scolded at will.
Cai Ling suddenly fell from being a superior person to being a subordinate, and one can imagine how she felt.
When Cai Kuo was being escorted out in the prison van, the people in the city crowded on both sides of the street to watch and clap their hands in celebration. It can be seen that they were very happy to see Cai Kuo's downfall.
Many people also threw stones, rotten vegetable leaves and other things into his prison van.
Xue Huan was sitting on the second floor of Zhao Ji, looking down from the window at this scene, feeling very calm.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life, do some small business to make some money, so that her family could have enough food and clothing. If someone did not offend me, she would not offend him. If someone offended her, she would just tell him to get out.
After Cai Kuo was removed from office, the post of county magistrate of Fengchi County became temporarily vacant, and the county lieutenant took over the duties.
Although the position of the Fengchi County Magistrate is low, it is very lucrative. Even the third and fourth rank officials in the capital may not live as comfortably as him. Now that the position has become vacant, the princes naturally want to place their own people there.
In the end, after all the arguing, the emperor got tired of it and simply promoted the acting county lieutenant to become county magistrate. Although everyone was dissatisfied with this result, they could not say anything because the county lieutenant Zhu Hongda was neutral and did not ally with any prince.
In other words, his official position was too low, and he was not yet qualified to pay homage to the emperor.
But now that he has been promoted, he naturally attracted the attention of several princes.
This is a later story.
After Cai Kuo was brought down, Xue Huan felt that the shadow that had been hanging over her head was gone. Suddenly, the sky became clear and the air became brighter. She became more energetic in doing business and put several new snacks on the shelves at once.
For example, ice cream, lollipops, and cookies.
Now it is July, the hottest month of the year, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. People don’t have much time left to eat ice, so if ice cream is not put on the shelves, it will probably be difficult to sell.
There is no doubt that the emergence of ice cream has brought the ice cream business, which had been somewhat sluggish, to a new peak.
This ice food with a richer and more delicate taste is more popular than ice cream. Of course, its price is destined to be affordable by only a very small number of people.
However, this group of people wants this uniqueness and luxury.
So even though the sales of ice cream are not increasing, the profit is still considerable due to its high price.
In the blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of the seventh month, the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Xue Huan temporarily bid farewell to the pseudonym "Zhao Xiaoxian", returned to the Xue family, changed into formal attire, and went shopping with Xue's mother and others to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
There were endless cars and people coming and going on the street. The Xue family came out of the alley and merged into the crowd.
Xue Yao has now grown into a tall and strong young man, more than a head taller than his sister. If it weren't for the childishness on his face, everyone would have thought he was an adult.
He and Xue's mother walked on both sides, each holding one of Xue Jun's hands, protecting her tightly in the middle to prevent her from being bumped into by others.
Xue Huan walked behind, holding Pei Ji's hand. "Akang, hold on to me tight. It would be terrible if you get lost and get kidnapped by human traffickers."
Because there were too many people, she spoke this sentence close to Pei Ji's ear. Suddenly, a child wearing a mask and holding a Mohelo in his hand ran over and bumped into her. Xue Huan was pushed against Pei Ji, and her lips, which were already very close to him, also touched his.
In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and Xue Huan clearly saw that Pei Ji's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing how shy he was, she felt a sense of mischief. She deliberately stayed put and blew into his ear: "Are you shy, Akang?"
Pei Ji's other free hand wrapped around her waist, his eyes filled with darkness. If he hadn't been worried about pretending to have lost his memory, he would have definitely ruthlessly—
His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he tried hard to suppress the thirst in his heart and reminded her, "Hanhan, stop playing. Auntie and the others have gone to the front."
Xue Huan turned around and saw that it was indeed the case. She immediately stopped teasing him and pulled him forward, "Hurry up, don't get separated from my mother and the others."
Finally, the two caught up with Xue's mother and others in front of a mask stall.
There were various masks on the stall. Xue Huan picked out a fox mask, put it on her face, and asked Pei Ji, "Does it look good?"
Pei Ji nodded.
Xue Huan asked him, "What kind do you like? Come, pick one."
Pei Ji picked out a mask with a Qiongqi beast painted on it. Xue Huan paid for it and said, "Come, I'll help you put it on."
Pei Ji bent down obediently, staring at her intently with his eyes, with a pure smile on his face, looking even more handsome and imposing.
Under his gaze, Xue Huan actually had the illusion that she was being doted on by him.
