Su Jianyue kept putting meat into Xiao Yuqi's bowl.
Until the empty bowls in front of him were piled up into a small hill.
She kept saying, "Eat more, eat more!"
Xiao Yuqi ate hard.
He ate two roasted sweet potatoes as big as his fist, gnawed a roasted corn, and drank up all the soup that Su Jianyue had left for him.
Put down the chopsticks contentedly.
Su Jianyue suddenly remembered a popular internet meme.
Isn’t this the grandchildren that grandparents dream of?
etc!
Is she...putting herself in the shoes of Xiao Yuqi's grandmother?
...
...
After his mother, she became his grandmother?
No, no, the generations are all messed up!
Su Jianyue covered her face.
Xiao Yuqi didn't understand.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Su Jianyue put down her hands that were covering her face and shook her head.
"No, go get busy. I have something to do tomorrow and won't be home during the day. Tonight, I want to go to bed early."
Xiao Yuqi was worried, "Is it about the murderer?"
Su Jianyue nodded, "Yes, the murderer has been identified as Su Jianxing, but Lin Qi is willing to be her scapegoat!"
Su Jianyue was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Xiao Yuqi didn't understand.
"Lynch is?"
"He is Su Jianxing's personal bodyguard."
Su Jianyue explained: "It's just like your secret guards. Their daily mission is to protect her. So, Lin Qi's excuse for taking the blame for Su Jianxing is totally impeccable."
He could use the excuse that he couldn't bear to see the girl he had been protecting being bullied and humiliated, and that he did that thing on impulse.
This motivation is entirely reasonable.
Su Jianyue had a headache.
"I'll go with you."
Su Jianyue met Xiao Yuqi's gaze.
Deep and serious.
It doesn't seem like a joke.
However, Su Jianyue rejected his proposal outright.
"Your situation is related to people's livelihood. How can you leave at this critical moment?"
She smiled and said, "It's nothing serious here. I just went to confirm the confession. Our society ruled by law is much safer than yours!"
Xiao Yuqi does have important things to do tomorrow.
None of those noble families came.
Don't do it once and for all.
Xiao Yuqi simply tied up all the heads of those big families overnight and threw them into the woodshed.
Nowadays, the firewood room in the prefectural governor's mansion is extremely lively.
Once this matter gets to the ears of the people in Maoer Mountain, Xiao Yuqi wants to see how long they can remain calm.
When faced with people who lack martial ethics, Xiao Yuqi has some unethical methods.
The purpose of this move is to catch the enemy by surprise.
"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow night. Just tell me what's going on!"
Su Jianyue smiled and said, "Okay!"
Inside the prefect's mansion, there is a dark and deep dungeon.
On the mottled wall, there are two eternal lamps made of shark oil.
The flames jumped, illuminating the mottled walls.
There are all kinds of torture instruments hanging on it, and just looking at it is enough to make people shudder.
From deep within the prison, the sounds of whipping and hysterical screams could be heard from time to time, and in the damp and rotten air, there was the stench of burnt skin from being burned by a branding iron.
Every moment spent here is a great test for the soul.
Zuo Ying threw the last person into the narrow cell.
He skillfully put on a heavy copper padlock and put the key at his waist.
"You ignorant boy, I am a friend of the late emperor in times of trouble. Even if the late emperor were still alive, he would have treated me with respect. But now you are in power, and you dare to put me in prison without any explanation. You act so arrogantly. Aren't you afraid that the late emperor in his grave will come to you in his dreams at night to reason with you?"
This person is Zhou Xuanting, the head of the Zhou family, which is one of the top ten families in the North.
He was one of the late emperor's close confidants who traveled extensively with him.
After the late emperor returned to the capital and ascended the throne, he left Zhou Xuanting in the northern border to take charge.
At that time, the late emperor received three urgent imperial edicts and was summoned back to the palace overnight. Before leaving, the late emperor said to Zhou Xuanting: "Brother Zhou, I am going to be in a long and arduous journey. I am afraid we may never meet again. When I return to the palace, I cannot predict my life or death, nor do I know whether I will suffer misfortune or good fortune. There are only a few people I can trust. Only if Brother Zhou stays here, I will not have any more troubles. I will burn my boats and fight with all my might."
The late emperor cherished these words very much.
Zhou Xuanting was a man of sentimental temperament. He felt that if he could have such a close friend in his life, he would sacrifice his life for the late emperor.
Therefore, he handed over most of the troops in the north to the late emperor, and asked the late emperor to return to the capital with all his confidants, leaving only him to guard the rear for the late emperor without any worries.
Unexpectedly, after the emperor returned to Jian'an City and entered the palace, he received an imperial edict of succession before he had time to do anything.
The late emperor became the legitimate emperor.
Inherited the vast territory of Tianyu.
Zhou Xuanting seemed to have been forgotten by the late emperor. He waited day and night for the high position and generous salary that the late emperor had promised him. Every day he waited, he felt disappointed.
Zhou Xuanting was resentful towards the imperial court.
So much so that when he decided to join Maoer Mountain, he was so resolute and determined without hesitation.
He was filled with anger.
The late emperor was ungrateful first, and then broke his promise and enriched himself.
He would not hesitate to save face, and even without the help of the late emperor, he would make the Zhou family the largest family in Tianyu.
With this belief in mind, Zhou Xuanting became the leader of those who refused to cooperate with the imperial court's actions.
The first thing Xiao Yuqi wanted to do was to attack his Zhou family.
The Zhou family has been working hard in the northern border for several years and has already taken root and flourished in this barren land.
Others didn't dare to curse at Xiao Yuqi, but Zhou Xuanting dared to do so.
"You stupid bastard, you are just like your stupid father, doing low-class things. If you have the guts, come out and fight me face to face. Why did you hire someone to knock me out secretly and bring me here? What's going on?"
"If this matter gets out, aren't you afraid that everyone will laugh at you? Throughout the dynasties, I'm afraid there is no emperor as shameless as you and your bastard father!"
No one paid any attention to him.
Zuo Ying pretended not to hear such foul language, and walked out of the dungeon like a big boss, holding a bag of keys firmly in his pocket.
Completely forget what Zhou Xuanting said.
"Seeing that the Zhou family's Patriarch is so full of energy, there is no need to provide him with food and water for the time being."
The prison boss took the order and said, "Yes, I obey your command."
Only then did Zuo Ying leave with satisfaction.
They are all people who are used to a life of luxury.
Xiao Yuqi said that there was no need to torture them, just starve them, make them thirsty, and scare them, and their psychological defenses would be completely broken down.
They are all the heads of large families, and any one of them is a well-known figure when he steps out.
We can't let him defeat us and give people something to talk about us.
Zuo Ying followed the instructions carefully.
He was reluctant to share the food given by the gods with them.
He only ordered people to use the lowest quality rice bran to cook a clear porridge with the bottom visible, and this was eaten once a day and sent to the dungeon.
He even distributed food to other people in front of the door of Zhou Xuanting's cell.
Isn't he quite energetic?
Keep on cursing!
Why did it stop?
Are you out of words? Still feeling bored?
Hehehehe!
