Chapter 111 The second man who winked at me appeared!
He suddenly raised his head, and Xiao Jingfan's lips curled downwards. "Why, do you think my punishment is too severe?"
Dong Yi rattled and shook his head.
If it's still this heavy, the coffins of his punished predecessors will not be able to hold it down.
People must learn to be content.
"I thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness. From now on, I will teach my subordinates a lesson and discipline them strictly."
"Yes." Xiao Jingfan nodded, "Stand up, and take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dong Yi stood up quickly and sat down on the chair brought by the eunuch.
The heart that had been uneasy since entering the palace seemed to have a weight tied to it, and it quickly fell back to its original position, and I felt relieved.
Thinking that His Majesty had no suspicion at all that he had instructed Han Cunzhong to accept bribes, and didn't even ask a question, showing such trust... Dong Yi was so moved that his nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes. If he hadn't taken a few deep breaths, he would have almost burst into tears on the spot.
For the sake of your majesty's trust, Dong Yi will devote himself to your majesty until his death!
Xiao Jingfan, who was just in a slightly better mood and decided to let his minister go, had no idea that he had gained another loyal minister. He was looking at the kneeling Han Cunzhong.
It is a good thing to confess voluntarily, but the speed at which this person confessed was beyond his expectation. Judging from his expression, he did not seem to have a change of heart. He always felt that something was wrong.
Her fingertips lightly tapped the long sides, and her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the direction where Chu Liuzheng was standing.
This woman has been silent since she let out a ghostly howl. What did she see?
Xiao Jingfan, who couldn't hear what was said next, felt as if a furry little claw was scratching his heart. The more he scratched, the more itchy it became, which was very uncomfortable.
Five times.
Wei Mingliang sat crookedly behind a long table, one leg bent, his hand on his knee, his eyes fixed on the palace maid standing opposite him by the pillar, wearing a cloak and with her head slightly lowered.
This was the fifth time Emperor Shunguang looked at the palace maid.
What is so special about this palace maid?
Wei Mingliang narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of inquiry and scrutiny.
His appearance is only above average, and his figure... I can't see it clearly because of the cloak, but he is relatively tall, so I think he should be of good height.
Generally speaking, it is very ordinary and you can find similar ones in the palace with your eyes closed.
Why did Emperor Shunguang care so much about it?
[Hey, why is that Second Prince of Xixia staring at me?]
Chu Liuzheng, who was frantically digging in the melon field, was keenly aware of the gazes falling on him. They were full of inquiry and scrutiny, extremely aggressive, and as uncomfortable as a poisonous snake.
She was puzzled and bravely looked back. Her original intention was to ask Wei Mingliang to restrain himself a little. After all, all the palace maids were nominally the emperor's women.
Unexpectedly, the shameless Wei Mingliang not only did not restrain himself, but even raised the corner of his lips and winked at her.
His smile was quite devilish and yet quite romantic, like a playboy who was swept by a field of flowers and every petal touched him.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Frog fun! After Eunuch Zhou, the second man who winked at me appeared!]
[No, physiologically speaking, Eunuch Zhou isn't a man. So, the first man who winked at me appeared! !]
[Could it be that I'm going to end up with the old, clichéd storyline of 'the overbearing prince falls in love with me, falling in love with me at first sight, falling in love with me again, and not wanting to marry anyone else after seeing me for the third time?]
"Poof--" Xiao Jingfan, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help choking when he heard this outrageous voice, and spit out the tea.
Heading towards the direction of Wei Mingliang below.
Wei Mingliang reacted extremely quickly. With a nimble move, he sprayed all the tea onto the long table, making the exquisite snacks on it inedible.
He looked at Chang Ji and then at Xiao Jingfan, feeling that His Majesty should give him an explanation.
"Ahem, I caught a cold, and my throat felt itchy for a moment, and I couldn't hold it back." Xiao Jingfan took the handkerchief Zhou Yuande handed over, wiped the corner of his lips gracefully, and ordered, "Come here, change the table of tea and snacks for the Second Prince."
Immediately, palace maids came forward to replace him, including Chang Ji.
[Ah, Tyrant, this sip of tea was just the right amount of choking, and the spray was quite even.]
Chu Liuzheng applauded Xiao Jingfan's tea-spraying attack in his heart.
[Quick, take another sip! Aim well, and spray that overbearing prince in the face!]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He really didn't mean it!
Princess Gaochang watched this scene and curled her lips in disgust.
Although the Emperor of Sheng Kingdom was handsome, he was too weak and could even choke while drinking tea. He was not the kind of husband she wanted at all.
She said that her father was wise, brave, and powerful, but he actually lied to her!
An emperor far away in Gaochang sneezed violently.
Besides, after Wei Mingliang sat back on the replaced long table, he always felt that Xiao Jingfan had done it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
However, his attention soon shifted away from the tea-spitting incident.
Zhou Yuande brought the witnesses invited by the Jinyiwei to the second floor of Jinxiu Pavilion.
These people included men and women, young and old, and they had obviously been reminded. After going upstairs, they all lowered their heads politely, like wooden figures, not daring to look around.
"Ahem!" Zhou Yuande coughed twice, and as if receiving some kind of order, these people all knelt down before Xiao Jingfan, calling out, "May your majesty be well and safe."
Xiao Jingfan ordered two young eunuchs to turn Li Youcai around and face these people. "Do you recognize him?"
These people didn't dare to look up, and only after Zhou Yuande coughed again did they dare to look up boldly.
Li Youcai on the opposite side had already seen who these people were.
The cook, Ms. Qiu, had a daughter named Qin'er who was transferred by him to serve Wang Yuan, but was stoned to death in a pond by Wang Yuan.
The maid Qiao'er, whose sister Liu'er was unwilling to give herself to the butler, was raped by the butler and asked him to take charge. He transferred her to serve Wangyuan, and locked her to the bed with an iron chain for half a month. Finally, she was whipped to death.
Mr. Jiang, the relative-in-law, had his second daughter married to Wangyuan, who whipped her to death on the bed.
Mrs. Yao, the relative's daughter, married Wang Yuan as his second wife. She was humiliated by Wang Yuan in front of his servants and then beaten to death.
The servants Chen Dou, Deng Wu and Wang Feng were instructed by him to beat Zhao Shan and his wife, causing them to be seriously injured and die.
Li Fu, the housekeeper, was assigned by him several times to deliver filial tribute silver to Shuntian Prefecture, helping to cover up Wang Yuan's atrocities and drive out the Jiang and Yao families. On the way, he accidentally killed Mr. Yao and his son...
How come these people are here?
Li Youcai's eyes were filled with shock, his face turned pale, his mind went blank, his lips trembled for a long time, and he couldn't utter a word.
Qiu and others glared at Li Youcai, as if they would pounce on him and tear him to pieces the next moment.
The four housekeepers were trembling with fear and did not dare to look Li Youcai in the eye.
They couldn't resist the methods of the Jinyiwei and could only apologize to the master.
Xiao Jingfan took in the expressions of these people and said in a deep voice, "If you have any grievances, please tell me. I will take care of it for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Qiu burst into tears, her voice mournful: "My daughter was only fourteen years old, and she was killed by that beast just one day later. Her head was smashed to pieces. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision!"
The crying seemed to be contagious. Qiao'er and others burst into tears when they thought of their relatives who had died in vain, and talked at once about their grievances.
Zhou Yuande thought the commotion was too much and immediately shouted, "Silence!"
His voice was so sharp and piercing that it pierced people's eardrums.
The people who were crying fell silent immediately, leaving only a few uncontrollable sobs.
Xiao Jingfan: "One by one, starting with you."
He pointed and it happened to be Qiu, the woman with gray hair.
I accidentally became a lucky person who was infected with the flu. It’s so uncomfortable. My dears, you must take good protection when going out!
