Chapter 57 Uncle, let's go and confiscate the house He had
experienced too much, so when Mo Jingyu saw Xiao Jian's expression, he was immediately shocked.
He knew that this woman was going to kill him.
Although he didn't know why this woman brought him back from Ganye Temple, she wanted to kill him again, but Mo Jingyu knew that only by staying alive would he have a chance to save his mother and avenge those who hurt him. So, Mo Jingyu grabbed the woman's
clothes.
He said, let her save him, he said, he would listen to her, and he would do anything for her to destroy Xiyue.
Mo Jingyu knew that the new emperor of Wei had only been on the throne for three years, and the court was still in turmoil. They urgently needed manpower to stabilize the court.
So, when Mo Jingyu said this, even though he was a child, the eldest princess really believed him.
His life was saved.
But the pain in his body was still there.
Over the years, the pain had tortured him day and night.
His mother said that if the pain became numb, it would no longer hurt.
However, Mo Jingyu found that even if the pain became numb, it would still hurt.
But...
Mo Jingyu found that every time the little girl appeared, he would not feel any pain when he saw her.
Especially at this moment, with the little girl next to him, the wounds on his body did not hurt, and his body felt lighter instead. He no longer felt the heaviness and depression that he had before, which made him want to explode at any moment.
"You look good, but you are too violent!" Baby Ruoxi turned to look at the little guy, always feeling that this boy was a threat: "You are so good-looking, it would be a pity to kill you, why not, keep it for now, hey, I hope you won't harm your uncle's Wei Dynasty in the future, if not, I will be the first to kill you!"
Mo Jingyu looked at the little girl, his eyes deep.
After a while, he stretched out his hand, trying to raise a smile at the corner of his lips: "Sister!" As soon as he
finished speaking, because of the wound, Mo Jingyu's hand softened, and he fell into a coma again.
Mo Jingyu's hand was on Baby Ruoxi's swaddling clothes.
Baby Ruoxi stretched out her little hand and grabbed the skinny palm.
"Oh, this kid, the internal injuries are quite serious, he needs to be treated properly, otherwise, he won't live long!" Baby Ruoxi thought about it, and she didn't know what was going on. A hint of red aura slowly flowed from her little hand into Mo Jingyu's palm. With
two little hands grasping, a light golden light dissipated in the blink of an eye, and even Xiao Jian, who was standing beside him, didn't notice it.
Back in the palace, Baby Ruoxi was very busy.
She had to go to court.
Before dawn, she was pulled out of the quilt by her uncle and went to court.
"Your Majesty, we have collected about 100,000 taels!" The Minister of Personnel stepped forward and said, "You have presented all the treasures in your homes. Your heart is as clear as the sun and the moon!"
"Oh, what are the treasures in your homes?" The emperor said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, here is a list!" The Minister of Personnel took out the list that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.
Eunuch Gao stepped forward and took the list.
"Oh, for them, it's just some insignificant things. This Minister of Personnel is treacherous. His treasury is so rich. I guess there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his mansion. Now he comes to cry about poverty. Oh, uncle is really in trouble!"
Baby Ruoxi just tilted her head, took a look through the swaddling clothes, and blew a bubble speechlessly, thinking in her heart.
"No need to look!" The emperor looked at the list that Eunuch Gao brought over. He smiled lightly and said, "My dear ministers are thoughtful!"
"Your Majesty, even if the eldest princess's dowry is included, the total is no more than one million taels. There are hundreds of thousands of people on the border of Beiling. Whether it is food, drink, or clothing, it is a huge expense. I wonder..." When the Minister of Personnel said this, he shook his head and sighed, "In my opinion, it is better to disband part of the troops. Perhaps, it can ease the pressure on the border military pay!"
"Oh, this old thing, as expected, what is written in the history books is right. When Beiling and Xiyue rushed towards the imperial city of Wei together, this Minister of Personnel was the first to defect to the enemy. Not only did he take a million silver with him!"
Baby Ruoxi flipped through the history books and sighed.
Xiao Yin gently patted his niece in his arms, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole body was full of hostility.
"Ministry of Personnel, let's discuss the military pay issue later. Today, I want to talk to all the ministers about the Shangshu's legitimate son and the illegitimate son of Minister Xu's mansion opening a gambling house in the west of the city!" After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Minister Xu and said, "Minister Xu's illegitimate son, Xu Rulin, opened a gambling house in the west of the city, lent money at high interest rates, and forced women to do things, which was very chaotic!"
"Ah, this, this, Your Majesty, this matter was definitely framed by someone deliberately, and it's not true. My son has been working in the city defense camp, and he has always been conscientious and diligent..." Minister Xu knew that the situation was not good because of his daughter's affairs, so he kept his neck shrunk, trying to be as low-key as possible so as not to be seen by the emperor.
In the end, the emperor still chose him, which made Minister Xu panic.
"Hey, show me the evidence!" the emperor shouted coldly.
On the side, Eunuch Gao took a few complaints from the tray held by the eunuch next to him and began to read them one by one.
The complaints were all accusations against the behind-the-scenes boss of the casino in the west of the city. Some people even got the contract signed and fingerprinted by the casino owner.
"Young Master Xu, Young Master Lin, Lord Shangshu, Lord Shilang, you didn't manage your family well!" After reading, Eunuch Gao looked at the two adults and shook his head and said, "Now, many of the adults' children in the court can testify, and the people can testify even more. Even if the two young masters want to quibble, I'm afraid there is no way!"
"Your Majesty, it's unjust. I've been devoted to the court and neglected my family!" The Minister of Personnel knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I... will go back and discipline my rebellious son. If it doesn't work, break his legs!" Shilang Xu knew what was going on. They all knew what kind of heart this emperor had.
His daughter abused the eldest princess in the general's mansion, and now she has this end. He has thought about it these days.
Minister Xu only asked the emperor not to kill them all and leave some escape routes for his family.
"Well, uncle is going to confiscate the property? Good job, if you confiscate the Shangshu Mansion and the Minister's Mansion, it should be enough, not bad!" Baby Ruoxi felt relieved, so she yawned in the court, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
Baby Ruoxi fell asleep in the court.
When she was awakened by the noisy sound, she opened her eyes and felt the sunlight blinding her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!" There were sobbing voices, and Ruoxi was curious: "What's going on?"
"Oh my God, the Shangshu family actually seized a million taels of silver, and he actually put it under the casino in the west of the city. Who would have thought of it!"
