Fu Tong'er is interrogating Guo Bing.
Lu Zhenzhi's huge body sat in the armchair, his calm eyes looking at her petite figure.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Emperor Jing smiling.
He came to snatch people from him again.
Just like fifteen years ago, snatch Yan'er.
If you can't get it, kill her.
Suddenly, Fu Tong'er turned around and knelt down towards Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing put down the Buddhist beads and raised his hand to support... Lu Zhenzhi looked over.
"Tong'er, I grant you a privilege. You don't need to kneel before me. Stand up and answer."
Fu Tong'er stood up. Emperor Jing took a look at the signs of bleeding in Fu Tong'er's abdomen and said, "What do you want?"
"Royal brother," Fu Tong'er still used Lu Zhenzhi's address. Lu Zhenzhi glanced at her and was also listening.
Emperor Jing chuckled and turned to look at Lu Zhenzhi, who was sitting beside him in deep concentration. After a single glance, he turned back to Fu Tong'er and said, "Tong'er, it is certainly inappropriate for you to call me your royal brother. However, I will grant you a privilege."
Then he let go of her hand.
"What do you want?"
Fu Tong'er lowered her eyes, clutching the Soul-Breaking Whip, and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to restore the reputation of the former Grand Commander of the Hongzhang Kingdom!"
Hearing this, You Yi, who was discussing things with Military Advisor Xu and others, turned around and looked here with the Dragon Slaying Sword in his arms.
"Hong Zhanguo," Emperor Jing pondered the name. "The previous emperor did not confiscate the Hong family, and they were innocent. Back then, the previous emperor issued an edict of pardon to pardon Hong Dutong and his family. As for the confiscation of their property..."
"I implore Your Majesty to use Guo Bing's head as a sacrifice to the souls of Hong Dutong and his family in heaven."
Upon hearing this, Guo Bing was so frightened that he begged for mercy, causing the tiger bench to creak. "Master, master, it was the Marquis of Dingnan who gave the order! I'm just an errand boy! Young master! Young master!"
Emperor Jing took Fu Tong'er's hand again - Lu Zhenzhi looked over.
"I can kill him. I can even confiscate his family's property and offer a death sacrifice to Hongdu Tong'er." Emperor Jing lowered his eyes to look at Fu Tong'er's tender little hands, then turned to look at Lu Zhenzhi, "This little hand is really tender, as if Yan'er is alive..."
Lu Zhenzhi's big hands on his knees were clenched into fists, and the ring on his thumb made a sound when it was rubbed, but his face remained calm.
Emperor Jing looked at Fu Tong'er's big eyes again, which were now as gentle and moving as Ying Yan's back then.
"I can agree to your request, what will you give me in return?"
General You Yi said: "Tongtong, you don't need to worry about our family's affairs."
Emperor Jing pointed at You Yi and said to Fu Tong'er, "Who is he?"
Fu Tong'er said: "The only remaining bloodline of the Hong family is Hong Yusu."
"Oh? Isn't he the great general appointed by me to protect the country, You Yi?"
You Yi came over, knelt down, and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty! She is still young! Please don't embarrass her."
Emperor Jing said: "I heard that each of your generals is a hero..."
Lu Zhenzhi sat aside and leaned forward slightly, listening, and the jade ornament on his left ear trembled.
Emperor Jing continued, "You Yi, you are the Great General appointed by me to defend the Great Yan under the command of our Regent, Prince Chun. Unexpectedly, you are a descendant of General Hong. I know you have an older brother, You Li. Is he your biological brother?"
"Your Majesty, no."
Emperor Jing raised his hand and said, "General Hong, please stand up. Since it is Tong'er's request, I will draft an imperial decree today to allow you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestral home."
You Yi did not thank him immediately, he knew that things were not that simple.
As expected, Emperor Jing said, "Tong'er, you want Guo Bing's head. Okay. I have the habit of copying scriptures after dinner every day. Today, you will be by my side. Tomorrow, Guo Bing's head can be placed in front of the spirit tablet of General Hong."
