How could the guards listen to him? They were only loyal to Jiang Tian.
In the blink of an eye, countless figures filed out of the Wei residence, and soon after, the doors of many officials were knocked on.
The title of Lady Jinrong was still very useful when the emperor still cherished old feelings for her.
That night, countless people were awakened in the middle of the night, and countless others learned of the despicable things Wei Wenxuan had done.
The filth of his inner quarters was fully exposed to the public through the gifts that were sent out.
After the guards left, the courtyard was half empty.
Wei Wenxuan's legs had lost all strength, and he stared blankly at an unknown place, as if he had aged ten years.
After tonight, he will be infamous, and all the dignity of a scholar will be lost.
The guards had just left when the officials arrived.
The Prefectural Government of Jingzhao dispatched a large number of officials to the scene. If it weren't for the officials left on duty at night, it would have been difficult to take away so many prisoners all at once.
The official in charge of the liaison couldn't help but gasp when he saw the long list of crimes recorded by Jiang Tian's maid.
It's said that the struggles among women in the inner quarters are bloodless, but with so many people dead, it's definitely not bloodless.
If it's just ordinary theft of property, the family rules can handle it, but if it involves a life, they have to come and deal with it.
Ignoring Wei Wenxuan's ashen face, the officials paid their respects to Jiang Tian and then escorted Aunt Chu, her confidante, and other accomplices who had been implicated away from the Wei residence.
Before they left, Wei Xi clung to Aunt Chu and wouldn't let go.
Upon seeing the officials, everyone knew they were about to face dire straits.
With so many lives on her hands, Aunt Chu won't survive.
Wei Xi wept bitterly. Aunt Chu looked at her youngest daughter, who was not yet fully grown, her eyes lifeless, and murmured, "My child, my child..."
She became a death row inmate, and Wei Xi no longer had her mother's protection. She also had the humiliating status of being the daughter of a prisoner, and her future marriage would probably be as difficult as climbing to the sky... Aunt Chu felt a deep sense of desolation.
Despite her years of planning, she ultimately failed.
At this moment, Wei Jinxiu could no longer suppress her joy and walked straight towards Aunt Chu.
Upon seeing her, Wei Xi's eyes turned wary, and Aunt Chu stared at her.
Ignoring the venomous glares from the mother and daughter, Wei Jinxiu said to Aunt Chu, word by word, "I have always remembered Aunt Chu's kindness to me over the years. Rest assured, after you die, I will take good care of Sister Xi."
In her previous life, she was killed by Wei Xi at the young age of twenty. In this life, she is only ten years old and has already suffered a lot from Aunt Chu and Wei Xi.
A reward is due.
When Aunt Chu saw Wei Jinxiu's fierce eyes, she suddenly let out a scream!
Soon her mouth was gagged again, and she was dragged away by the officers.
Apart from her, no one with blood on their hands was spared.
Several of them had received a reward from Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't take back the money I've given out. If you're worried about losing it in prison, you can leave it with me for safekeeping. If you die, I'll have someone use the money to buy you a coffin. If you survive, it can be used for medical expenses."
She was fair and just in rewarding and punishing, and she carried it out to the end.
Sure enough, some people tearfully gave her the silver again, fearing that it would be intercepted by the jailers when they got to the prison.
After the officials escorted a large group of people away, a desolate atmosphere filled the courtyard.
The maids and servants who remained didn't dare to raise their heads. Jiang Tian hadn't told them to leave, so they dared not go and could only stand there.
Wei Wenxuan looked as if he had lost his soul, and was barely helped to sit down on a chair by the servant.
