Chapter 314 The General will arrive in Shengjing tomorrow
Today's court is very strange.
The officials stood in the hall with confused looks on their faces, not understanding what was happening at all.
When I went out early this morning, I saw someone posting an imperial edict on the street.
When I walked in and took a look, I saw that the imperial edict first praised Chu Yian for her bravery in saving the people from danger yesterday evening, and then told the people that if they had grievances or encountered any injustice, they could go to the third young lady of the Duke of Qin's Mansion, Chu Yian.
She will work with Lord Zhang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, to seek justice for them.
If I remember correctly, Chu Yian almost beat someone to death on the street yesterday evening... right?
I thought I would hear Chan Chu Yi An's voice today, but who knew that the emperor turned around and posted the imperial edict on the street.
Not only were they posted on the streets, but also at the palace gates.
The one posted on the street is obviously for the people to see, and it goes without saying who the one posted at the palace gate is for.
Who will oppress the people?
In the final analysis, aren't those relatives in their family, close relatives, distant relatives, and those who are not related to them at all, using their names to stir up trouble?
The emperor's move not only told them that he supported Chu Yian in what happened last night, but also asked them to take care of their own families.
Chu Yian will not show mercy to those playboys, as can be seen from what happened yesterday.
Two of the people she beat up yesterday are still unconscious.
After waking up and hearing the imperial edict sent by the emperor, he fainted again due to anger, so strictly speaking, he was still not awake.
It was different from their beatings. At most, they would just cause the children some physical pain, but Chu Yian really wanted to beat them to death.
Moreover, she had the Duke of Qin's Mansion standing behind her, and now she had the Emperor's order, which made her even more legitimate. Her attack would only be more severe and ruthless...
Why did the emperor issue such an edict?
Chu Yian... would he really break into their house and drag their children out to beat them up?
After waiting for a long time, the emperor finally arrived and the morning court began, but the emperor did not mention the imperial edict at all.
Until the court was dismissed, nothing seemed to have happened.
The ministers were getting a little restless, and some of them went to the Imperial Study to ask about the imperial edict.
But the emperor just looked at the minister with a half-smile, even though they brought up the fact that Chu Yian was a woman, it was inappropriate for her, a woman, to get involved in these matters.
The emperor just said, "Then you go and take over Chu Yian's job" and sent everyone away.
Who dares to take over Chu Yian's work?
I started offending people before I even started working on this job, so no one dared to do it.
When the ministers finished the morning court and left the palace, they saw Chu Yian already waiting outside Shuntian Mansion. When she saw Lord Zhang coming, she hurried to greet him with a very bright smile.
She even greeted the other ministers with a smile, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to her and they all looked at her coldly.
Chu Yian didn't mind. He walked to Mr. Zhang and asked considerately, "Mr. Zhang, I will be considered half of your colleague from now on. I want to see the files in Shuntian Mansion. If there are things that are difficult for you to handle, leave them to me. I can handle them easily."
Everyone: ...
Lord Zhang's expression was quite interesting. He glanced at the ministers with grim expressions, then looked at Chu Yian, whose eyes were bright and he was ready to fight. He quickly led the man into the yamen, fearing that Chu Yian would be beaten.
Master Zhang sighed, "Madam Third Young Master, you've taken on a very difficult task."
Chu Yian: "It's okay. Have you investigated the case before but it's hard to deal with the backlog?"
"I just took office today, so give me something ruthless. I have to do it first to show the emperor, so that he knows that I am absolutely worthy of the salary he gave me."
Mr. Zhang: ...
You also have a salary? It sounds like quite a lot.
You almost beat someone to death yesterday, so shouldn’t you send him to see the King of Hell today?
Lord Zhang was a little worried, but he really couldn't afford to offend those people, and the people were really pitiful.
Since Chu Yian took the initiative to take over these difficult cases, he had nothing to say. After all, the Duke's Mansion had a background, and Chu Yian, the young man, obviously had the support of the emperor.
He took her to where the files were kept and picked one out from the pile.
Unfold it and place it in front of Chu Yian.
"This was a case from three years ago. Unfortunately, all the people involved are dead now."
Lord Zhang sighed and briefly explained, "Three years ago, there was a severe flood in the Yueshan area. A family of five left their hometown and came to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives. On the way, they met Qi Hanwen, the son of the Qi family."
"Qi Hanwen saw that the girl was beautiful, so he snatched her away and casually threw a few taels of silver to the family."
"That family is very hot-tempered. They chased after her and wanted to take the girl away."
"Qi Hanwen had them beaten up, but they refused to give up and repeatedly blocked the Qi family's gate, insisting that they return the people. In the end, they were beaten and thrown out of the city."
"They had no choice but to quietly return to the city and report it to me. After I investigated the situation, I sent people to the Qi family. The Qi family sent people to detain me while simultaneously dispatching others to silence the family members."
"The girl who was taken back was tortured to death a few days later. She was truly dead and had no evidence. Alas."
Chu Yian frowned and looked through the files carefully.
Lord Zhang casually mentioned the family's experience, but the records in the file were truly shocking.
The words between the lines expressed the despair of that family, and Chu Yian's brows furrowed more and more.
"That family member died, so shouldn't there be a more thorough investigation? Why is it left unresolved?"
Mr. Zhang was even more helpless: "They hid the bodies. The bodies were not discovered until a long time later. When they were found, the family was gone."
Without the victim, the Qi family was not easy to offend, so the case was suppressed.
Chu Yian looked at him: "Do you have any evidence?"
Mr. Zhang nodded and dug out the evidence left behind three years ago.
Chu Yian took his things and left, calling out to a few yamen runners when he left the house.
Lord Zhang hurriedly followed, wanting to see what Chu Yian was going to do.
Chu Yian's approach was very straightforward. She didn't know anything about investigating cases. She just wanted to deal with those people that Lord Zhang couldn't deal with or were difficult to deal with after he had investigated the case.
To put it simply, it was reckless. The emperor wanted her to offend people, which was not difficult.
The more you offend someone, the safer the Qin family will be.
But just as she reached the door, she stopped again, turned her head to look at the files in the room and said, "Master Zhang, send someone to deliver the files that need to be processed to the Duke's Mansion."
"There are many people in Shuntian Prefecture and many eyes are on the ground. If something goes wrong, all these files will be lost."
Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at the room full of files and shuddered.
Chu Yian set his eyes on these files. To be honest, those people might really burn them down.
He hurriedly ordered people to separate the files that needed to be processed and send them to the Duke's Mansion, and then followed Chu Yian out of Shuntian Mansion and went straight to the Qi family.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, many people were staring at Chu Yian.
I want to see how far she can go, and how far she dares to go, whether she dares to rush into someone else's house and take someone away.
Facts have proved that Chu Yian not only dared to do so, but also dared to bypass Lord Zhang and sentence Qi Hanwen to death according to the law, and behead him three days later.
All the other people from the Qi family who were involved in this incident were imprisoned and punished without any mercy.
Anyone who resists will be captured.
Even if the head of the Qi family came forward, it would be useless. If he dared to stop it, he would be charged with obstructing public service and thrown into jail.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Shengjing was in an uproar.
The people cheered, the men of the Duke of Qin's mansion went to the battlefield to kill the enemies, and the women were no less inferior.
Many people have suffered grievances and have just been watching. Now that they have received the answers they want, they can't wait to rush to the Duke's Mansion and ask Chu Yian to give them justice.
Those whose family members had committed crimes but were suppressed were all unable to sit still. Chu Yian dared to deal with the Qi family and would not show mercy to them.
For a while, everyone who had committed a crime felt in danger.
Some people even wanted to kill Chu Yian to prevent him from causing trouble for them.
But Chu Yian has four secret guards left by Qin Sheng, and Qin Huaishu has assigned two more to her. Are so many secret guards vegetarians?
After experiencing several assassination attempts, Chu Yian finally realized how difficult this job was, and the 1,200 taels of silver given by the emperor was still too little.
This is really making money at the risk of your life.
I never thought that she would be assassinated one day. It’s... quite an honor.
However, this did stimulate Chu Yian to practice harder in his spare time.
While dealing with those who had committed crimes in Shengjing, completing missions, and practicing martial arts, he was so busy that he had no time to rest.
Fortunately, after completing five tasks in a row, the system gave me another cheat and gave me a pill. After taking it, my training speed increased three times compared to the original level.
Chu Yian has made rapid progress in this period. When he was practicing with Qin Wu, he could only execute a few moves if Qin Wu released as much water as the Pacific Ocean at the beginning. Now he can execute a few moves without Qin Wu releasing any water. This speed really shocked all the secret guards.
They even began to feel sorry for Chu Yian for starting to practice martial arts too late, otherwise he would definitely be the world's best martial artist now.
Time passed in a flash. On the day when the first snow fell in Shengjing, the princess sent by the Huns for marriage entered the capital.
However, the issue of peace talks still needed to be discussed slowly by the envoys. The emperor obviously did not want to negotiate peace so quickly, so it was delayed for several days.
It took half a month to come up with a charter.
This more than one month was enough time for Duke Qin and Qin Sheng to defeat the Xiongnu, occupy important Xiongnu cities, and pacify the Xiongnu.
They also captured two more cities before temporarily stopping.
While Qin Sheng was fighting, Qin Huaishu also started fighting with Ningguo.
Several surrounding countries were eyeing Dashun covetously, ready to pounce and get a piece of the pie at any time, otherwise the emperor could have delayed it for a longer time.
The cities occupied by the Xiongnu already belonged to Dashun. In addition, they had to retreat 300 miles and were not allowed to invade Dashun territory or harass the people of Dashun.
As for other compensations, they are too numerous to count.
The treasure is not important, the emperor has been coveting the Huns' war horses for a long time.
He took this opportunity to extort a batch of war horses, and then he was satisfied to let Duke Qin and Qin Sheng withdraw their troops. He sent other people to take over the occupied cities.
In the blink of an eye, it is almost the end of the year.
Chu Yian was whipping someone with a whip when he suddenly heard the voice of a secret guard: "Madam, the general has passed Yuanzhou and will arrive in Shengjing tomorrow."
Chu Yian paused as he was beating the person, his eyes flashing with ecstasy, and he beat even harder.
Qin Sheng has been away from Beijing for a long time. Is he finally coming back?
She really...missed him.
