Chapter 44
[Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!]
[Ah, I never thought we'd get a new marshal...]
[Wow, wow, wow, my Emperor and Commander CP have been torn apart. I'm crying! !]
[General Xu is also very good. My brother is under his command.]
[It feels like two different styles from the former marshal. 】
[Why didn't His Majesty show up again today? I missed him so much.]
[The new marshal is also very handsome, but he is a bit old.]
【Do you have a young son?】
[I heard there are some, and they seem to be in the military.]
[Hey, is there anything else to announce today? ]
[As expected of the royal family, everyone's companion spirits are so awesome.]
[Unlike me, just a little parrot, alas.]
[What's wrong with the parrot? I'm still a husky QAQ I'm a young girl. ]
[Hahahaha, Husky?? That's too funny!]
[Wow, look at that! It's a golden leopard! So rare!]
[I have a distant relative whose companion spirit is also a leopard. He was able to get into a top-tier company thanks to his companion spirit.]
[Is my internet connection bad? Why does he look weird?]
[Me too, why isn't that leopard moving? Everyone else is still moving.]
【I think I'm stuck too.】
Did you see that?
[I see…]
[Holy crap???]
[Is this true?... The leopard transformed into a hyena...]
Is this a network problem?
[No, it was his companion spirit in disguise.]
[Oh my god! Isn't this a severe punishment? How dare you!?!]
Does anyone know who that person is? How dare they fake a companion spirit at your majesty's celebration?
[It seems to be from the cabinet.]
"There are people like this in the cabinet?! How can I still trust this country?!"
[Don't spread rumors. There is no such person in the cabinet.]
[Ahhh, the police are here! !]
[Not only the police, but also the Imperial Army...]
[You still dare to resist? It's a good thing you weren't killed.]
[It seems that this is a genuine forged companion spirit, not a frame-up.]
How could someone be so foolish as to forge a companion spirit during a live broadcast across the entire empire...?
[I guess he was used to showing off his privileges.]
[I just can't stand this kind of villain!!]
【It's really gratifying.】
I never thought that watching a celebration would reveal such a big news.
【Can anyone tell me what will happen to this person? 】
The Empire has always imposed harsh penalties for such acts. For ordinary citizens, in public, the minimum sentence is five years. If someone uses a forged companion spirit for personal gain, the minimum sentence is ten years, with no upper limit. If the interests of others are infringed upon, the penalty could be life imprisonment or the death penalty.
[There is another type, if they are from a powerful family, the situation is even more serious than that of ordinary people.]
【I think this person will be exiled.】
——Exiled to a desolate planet.
This is the final verdict made by the court on Zhu Shaoquan's crimes of forging a golden leopard companion spirit, abusing his power for personal gain for many years, and accepting bribes and embezzling money.
The Empire has a clear ban on the forging of companion spirits. Kindergarten textbooks teach children to love their own companion spirits and respect the companion spirits of others. Discrimination and disguise are prohibited.
Someone like Zhu Shaoquan, who already works at the XX Department, will only aggravate and expedite the sentence.
It took only a week from being caught on the spot to the final verdict.
During this week, no one in the Zhu family is allowed to visit Zhu Shaoquan and is forced to return to Bach II. No one is allowed to leave Camp Manor without permission.
Including Zhu Xiyuan, who was still in the ward, was also sent back.
Although this punishment is not serious, it will be very difficult for the Zhu family to enter the military system in the future.
To a certain extent, Zhu Zhengde's hopes for the future of the Zhu family were completely destroyed.
Sally, who was anxiously waiting at home, could not bear the huge blow when she heard the news that Zhu Shaoquan would be exiled and fainted.
Zhu Zhengde's face turned blue and white, and he was sweating profusely, as if he would faint at any moment.
He clutched the armrest of the sofa tightly to prevent himself from collapsing on it.
Zhu Xiyuan's condition has improved a lot, except that he is still a little weak.
He came to the living room with the help of Fu Fu and Zhu Xiaoling: "Shao Quan he——"
Zhu Xiaoling saw Sally fainted on the sofa: "Mom!!"
In order to prevent the other servants from talking too much, they asked everyone to leave. At this time, Zhu Xiaoling went out in a panic to look for someone.
Zhu Fu helped her father walk to the sofa. Zhu Xiyuan couldn't stand for a long time now.
However, when there was still one step left, Zhu Zhengde seemed to finally relax from his extremely tense state.
"You...it's you!" Zhu Zhengde pointed at Zhu Xiyuan, his fingers trembling with anger. "It's you. You informed on your brother, right? That's why you didn't say he was there that day...you deliberately let him go in your place...you did it on purpose, didn't you?!"
Zhu Fu opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
There was actually such a way of turning the tables, which refreshed his understanding of Zhu Zhengde.
It turns out that all bastard sons are brought up by bastard fathers!
Zhu Xiyuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
This family, father, and younger brother have been like this for a long time.
He thought he was used to it, that he was numb.
Unexpectedly, I still feel heartbroken.
His personality prevented him from arguing for himself, and Zhu Zhengde's health was not good either. He was afraid that he would get angry like his mother and have problems.
However, blindly tolerating will not bring about understanding and apology, but will only make the paranoid person worse.
Zhu Zhengde's eyes turned red with anger: "You are the one who harmed your brother, you are the one who harmed our Zhu family, you unlucky star!!"
He slapped Zhu Xiyuan in the face. The latter was completely unprepared and fell to the ground.
Just at this moment, Zhu Xiaoling came back with Aunt He and Francis. When they saw the scene, everyone was stunned.
Zhu Zhengde was blinded by anger and started cursing. He even wanted to kick him: "You unfilial son, even if you come back, there will be no place for you in the Zhu family!"
Zhu Xiaoling burst into tears: "Dad, don't——"
Aunt He and Francis also ran over and held Zhu Zhengde on the left and right: "Sir, calm down, calm down!"
Fu Fu was stunned.
dad……
Zhu Xiyuan, who was tied to the altar in his previous life, Zhu Xiyuan who looked at him smiling with tears in his eyes, and his father who was being beaten at this moment overlapped together.
He rushed to his father, opened his arms, and protected him with his small body.
He was so small, yet he dared to yell at an angry adult at the top of his lungs: "Don't—you are not allowed to touch my daddy!!"
The exiled Zhu Shaoquan and the ruined Zhu family...
All these tragedies intertwined together, and Zhu Zhengde had completely lost his mind. He was so angry that he swung his big palm towards the child.
Someone grabbed his arm.
As strong as steel, impossible to break free from.
Si Yin finally appeared and caught Zhu Zhengde's action with just one hand.
His eyes were so cold that it was like he was looking at a dead person: "Mr. Zhu, is that enough?"
Zhu Zhengde's face was as colorful as if a bottle of soy sauce had been overturned: "You - you actually dared to attack me? You're just a bastard, and -"
Si Yin no longer wanted to listen to his nonsense.
He flipped it lightly in annoyance, and without using much strength in his hands, he pulled Zhu Zhengde's arm directly to the point of dislocation.
"ah--!!"
Zhu Zhengde had never experienced such severe pain. What was more heartbreaking than the physical pain was the unprecedented humiliation of having his most cherished authority trampled underfoot.
He couldn't accept it, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Si Yin looked down at all this from a high position, his voice indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Francis, take the gentleman and the lady to the hospital."
Aunt He and Francis were stunned by the shocking scene of "insubordination" before them, but they quickly reacted: "Okay, okay, let's go now!"
Zhu Xiaoling stood in the middle of the divided family, her face covered in tears.
She knew that from tonight onwards, this family would almost fall apart.
Si Yin nodded at her, the girl wiped her face, and followed her parents out.
He turned around, took two steps at a time and came to Zhu Xiyuan, half-knelt on the ground: "Xiao Xi, how are you?"
Zhu Xiyuan coughed a few times: "It's okay..."
"You're bleeding and you're saying it's okay! I'll contact Green Hospital."
The Si Yin who was extremely anxious and sympathetic towards Zhu Xiyuan at this moment seemed to be a different person from the one who wanted to tear Zhu Zhengde apart just now.
Fu Fu saw her father and finally found the shore in the chaotic and endless sea that could drown people.
The kitten had its tail drooping and had a slight headache.
He didn't know why Xu Tieren was willing to help him and handed the cup of coconut milk with lower clarity but higher concentration to Zhu Shaoquan.
In short, Zhu Shaoquan got drunk in front of everyone on the Empire Star Network live broadcast, revealing his hyena form.
From then on, Zhu Shaoquan could no longer hurt the fathers.
His purpose and his means were both achieved.
But why can't I be happy?
Seeing the child staring blankly at his toes, Si Yin thought he was frightened and said softly, "Xiao Fuzi, are you okay?"
Fu Fu choked and shook her head.
Si Yin ruffled his hair and praised him, "Fuzi was great for protecting Daddy just now. He's become the little man of our family."
Zhu Xiyuan also smiled at him: "Thank you, babe."
The kitten's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his sleeve to wipe them away and said, "Daddy..."
Si Yin lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms: "After I take you away tonight, I will not send you back."
Zhu Xiyuan frowned, looking tired, and said nothing.
"You have done all you can for your family. Don't let blood ties become your shackles."
Si Yin picked up Zhu Xiyuan horizontally, and Fu Fu held the corner of his clothes.
"let's go."
Leave Kemp Manor and leave this suffocating Zhu family.
Never come back.
