Chapter 284
Jiang Shiming and his wife stopped fighting and turned their heads stiffly. They saw a young Taoist priest and a monk standing outside the cell. When the Jiang family saw these two people, they understood their identities, especially the Taoist priest.
Jiang Shiming finally saw this famous young Taoist priest for the first time. His pupils suddenly shrank. Sure enough, that face looked very much like Wen. Standing there quietly, he was reminded of Miss Wen back then. He and Cui Qi knew Miss Wen together. They both fell in love with her at first sight, but in the end, the Wen family agreed to the marriage proposal from the Cheng'en family, and he could only obey his parents' arrangement and marry his current wife.
But the crown prince was deposed, and the mansion of Duke Cheng'en was ransacked. He never thought that he would have the chance to see Wen again. Unfortunately, Wen would rather die than obey, and she bled profusely right after giving birth to Cui Qi's child, and died. He suspected that it was his wife who did it, but the person was already dead, what could he do?
Seeing the child again now, Jiang Shiming took a few steps back in fear and fell to the ground.
Madam Jiang rushed over, stretched out her hands outside the cell, trying to scratch Yuan Jing, cursing: "It's all because of you, little bitch. Your mother is a bitch, and you are a bitch too. You all will not die well."
"Bitch? The bitches are in jail now." Funeng said rudely, without any mercy from a monk. He sneered at the Jiang family members and said, "You are just a bunch of bitches. If you hadn't committed so many sins, how could you have given birth to children with all five poisons in their fate?"
"My son is not like that!" Madam Jiang cursed like a madman, "My son is destined to be rich and powerful, not to have all five evils. This little bitch is born with that..."
"Shut up!" Fu Neng waved his hand, and Mrs. Jiang could no longer shout. Her mouth moved, but no sound came out. She was so anxious that she grabbed her throat desperately. Only then did a look of shock and fear appear in her eyes.
Yuan Jing glanced at Funeng and said, "Brother Fu, there is no need. It's not like they call me a bitch that makes me a bitch. I am the reincarnation of a good person for ten lifetimes. The more they scold me, the more retribution they will get. Look, they transferred the fate of the five poisons to me back then, but unfortunately I didn't do as they wished. I was picked up by the master and accepted as his apprentice, and I learned all these skills. In fact, I should thank them. Without their arrangement, I would not have met the master and would not have walked this path. My fate is most suitable for being a Taoist priest."
Fu Neng felt much better after hearing this, but he said, "I am unhappy when I hear them scolding you. They are the ones who have no right to scold you."
Yuan Jing stopped looking at the Jiang family members and said, "Let's go. I already know who killed my mother. Next, we just need to find her body and bury her with the Cui family members."
"Okay, let's go."
The two men left side by side, but Mrs. Jiang fell to the ground with a thud, then quickly got up and stretched out her hand in the direction they left. There was anxiety in her eyes and a "hehe" sound came from her throat. She wanted to shout, "Don't go," she knew she was wrong, and asked him to spare her child, saying that her child was innocent. But no matter how she shouted, Yuan Jing could not turn around.
After leaving the cell, Yuan Jing went to search the sealed Jiang Mansion. He had a feeling that Wen's bones were still in the mansion. It would be difficult for others to find them, but he was Wen's own flesh and blood, so it was easy for him to find her bones. Using the blood as a guide, he finally found them in a dry well. That woman not only killed Wen, but also suppressed her here out of jealousy, wanting her to never be able to turn over.
When Wen was buried, Crown Prince Zhuo Jingming also came, and together with Yuan Jing, he paid tribute to the people in the Cui Mansion. Wen was buried next to Cui Qi. Another corpse was moved out and Wen's bones were placed in it. That corpse was also buried in a carefully chosen place.
Before, it was just speculation, but now the actions of the Crown Prince and Yuan Jing were equivalent to personally confirming their uncle-nephew relationship. No one doubted anymore that Yuan Jing was the backer behind Crown Prince Zhuo Jingming.
The wife of Ningyuan Marquis sighed, "Miss Wen was indeed killed by the Jiang family. At the beginning, I really thought that Miss Wen and Madam Jiang were close friends before they got married. Who could have thought that this would be the result."
The old lady said, "That woman is a good dramatist. The Cui family and the prince entrusted the wrong person and sent him into a wolf's den. Fortunately, the child survived and was lucky enough to return to the capital to avenge them."
Yes, who could have thought that the deposed prince, who had guarded the imperial mausoleum for more than ten years, could actually make a comeback and become the final winner? When the prince was active before he was cleared of his name, the Ningyuan Marquisate secretly stood on the side of the deposed prince. To be honest, if it weren't for the young Taoist priest Yuan Jing, they would not have dared to bet so much.
Within two days, the old emperor died without ever opening his eyes to look at his country. The court officials did not know how to evaluate this emperor, but the most important thing at the moment was to support the new emperor to ascend the throne.
The old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. As the new emperor, Zhuo Jingming was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep. The various hidden dangers left by the Lingxiao demon Taoist in the capital were resolved. The Taoists and monks who came from outside left the capital one after another because they had to deal with the troubles left over from other places.
Yuan Jing and Funeng had not left yet. Of course, Funeng had gone to see his master, Master Jingkong. He also went to see Master Jingkong off when he returned to Yuan Temple, and Yuan Jing went with him. Master Jingkong looked at Yuan Jing with extremely complicated feelings. He had personally brought his disciple to his door, so what could he say?
Maybe it was the bad fate from the previous life that continued into this life. How could he separate them? Otherwise, they would be entangled in the next life.
Master Jingkong did not know that this problem not only applies to this life or the next, but to all the lives to come.
Finally, he could only sigh and said, "Come back to the temple when you have time. Your fellow disciples are all thinking about you. Take Yuan Jing with you."
Funeng smiled, which made Fusheng's mouth twitch. He smiled because the master agreed with them. If the master still played the villain, would he have a good face?
"Master, don't worry. I will bring Yuan Jing back to visit you and my fellow disciples. You must also take good care of yourself. Brother Fusheng, I'm counting on you." It was rare for Fu to say such a long string of words.
Master Jingkong patted his little disciple on the head, then glared at the old Taoist priest who was watching the show on the side, and he couldn't get over the anger.
Before leaving, Yuan Jing also gave Master Jingkong a gift. Master Jingkong did not open it at that time. Halfway through the journey, he remembered to take a look at it. It was a jade bottle. As soon as he opened it, he quickly closed the bottle tightly. Master Jingkong's heart was pounding. There was an elixir inside. Just by smelling the fragrance, he knew how good the elixir was.
Yuan Jing gave him a great gift, and this filial piety was many times more beneficial than any other blessing.
Fusheng's eyes bulged at the side. Just by smelling the fragrance of the elixir, his cultivation seemed to have improved. He asked in surprise, "Master, was this really sent by Junior Brother Yuan Jing?"
Master Jingkong thought for a moment and said with emotion, "Perhaps he is just too lucky to have found the spiritual herbs that can be used to refine this pill. Hasn't he been training with your junior brother recently? Perhaps he found it during the training."
He also said, "The old Taoist Bixu is a blessed man. I feel that his fate has also changed. Originally, he was supposed to have a catastrophe, and if he couldn't get through it, he might have died. But this time, I found that his death calamity has passed. I'm afraid he still has many years to live."
Fusheng was happy for Taoist Bixu and said with a smile: "So, Junior Brother Funeng has a good eye."
When Master Jingkong heard this, he was neither angry nor amused.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, those who deserved rewards were rewarded, and those who deserved punishment were punished. The Jiang family members who were imprisoned in the prison finally got their result. All the people involved in the witchcraft case and framed the prince were beheaded, and the rest were exiled. Jiang Shengxu escaped because of his age, but he could not escape the fate of being exiled. As for whether he could survive the exile, it depended on his luck, but with his fate of having all five poisons, I believe it would be difficult.
Yuan Jing went to the execution ground and watched those people's heads fall to the ground, including Jiang Shiming and his wife. He stayed in the capital just to wait for this scene.
All the members of the Jiang family were beheaded, and Prince Cheng's Mansion did not fare well either. The title of prince was demoted one level to a general guarding the country.
Before and after the appearance of the deposed crown prince, the royal family members were not the only ones who jumped around. However, the title of Prince Cheng was demoted, which made people puzzled. Could it be that Prince Cheng had done something to annoy His Majesty, so His Majesty took special care of Prince Cheng's Mansion? This made other royal family members worried for a while, fearing that the knife would fall on their heads, but later His Majesty did not use these royal family members for punishment, so they were relieved.
Therefore, it was Prince Cheng who offended His Majesty. In order to please the new emperor, everyone did not mind adding insult to injury and took the opportunity to trample on Prince Cheng's mansion.
Prince Cheng was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He and the people in the prince's mansion, no, now the people in the General Guarding the Nation's mansion also couldn't figure out how they had offended His Majesty to make him so embarrassed.
"On the day of the execution, Taoist Yuan Jing also went. He was indeed very beautiful. No wonder people say he was the reincarnation of a good man for ten generations. The same is true for the young master beside him. But there was also a young man beside them. Did you look closely? That young man actually looked a bit like someone?"
"Who does he look like? He is neither a Taoist priest nor a monk, so why is he walking with them?"
"Who else could he look like? He looks like the general who guards the country. Anyone who has seen the general's appearance when he was young will know. Do you think it is because of the general's romantic and promiscuous behavior when he was young that His Majesty is disgusted with him?"
It's no wonder some people think so. Everyone knows how important Taoist Yuan Jing is to Your Majesty. He not only saved Your Majesty's life, but also brought Your Majesty out of the imperial mausoleum. Only then did Your Majesty have the opportunity to win over the court officials and ascend to his current position. It can be said that without Taoist Yuan Jing, there would be no Your Majesty today. I heard that Your Majesty's health was terrible at the beginning, and it was Taoist Yuan Jing who helped Your Majesty to adjust his body. Otherwise, even if he could ascend the throne, he would not live long.
Such a great favor will also benefit those who are close to Taoist Yuan Jing. It is only natural for Your Majesty to vent the anger of Yuan Jing's friends.
The word spread more and more and people took it seriously, and finally it reached the ears of the general himself, causing the general's wife to lose her temper.
