Chapter 586 Wu Tingtan is dead!
"Madam Liang, teach her some manners!"
A middle-aged woman came forward, twisted Shen Yuanhe's arms and stepped on his back, and another middle-aged woman came forward and started slapping him without saying anything.
The two men were well-trained and cooperated, and it was obvious that they often tortured people.
Before Shen Yuanhe could react, he was slapped five or six times.
"Father, save me..."
"Father……"
Shen Congwen didn't expect Zhou Xinrou to suddenly take action, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Over the years, Zhou Xinrou had given him the impression of not caring about anything and devoting herself to worshipping Buddha. Even so, with the Queen Mother and the Emperor as two huge mountains, he still respected her.
I didn't expect that someone who usually worships Buddha wholeheartedly could make someone bleed with just one sentence.
“Princess…” Shen Congwen unconsciously lacked confidence.
This feeling was too familiar, from the time the princess chose him to marry her until now. It was only after his daughter ascended the throne and the court officials respected him that he forgot this feeling.
"Since you invited me here, you want me to take care of the family matters!" Zhou Xinrou said coldly.
Shen Congwen hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed.
Shen Yuanhe was scared and she knew she was wrong.
No matter how indifferent she thought this princess was to the world, she could not look down on her.
"Mother, Yuan He is wrong."
"Mother, I know I was wrong!"
"Please mother, please forgive your daughter this time!"
The two old women looked like they came from the palace. Their faces were as cold and hard as stones, as if they were beating up an insignificant person. Not a single hair of theirs fell off, and their sleeves only moved slightly as they did so.
After twenty or thirty slaps, Zhou Xinrou finally spoke.
Shen Yuanhe's cheeks were already swollen and tears were streaming down his face.
This is a method used by the palace to punish palace maids. It hurts the skin but not the bones. It breaks the pride but does not affect the work.
"Okay, now you can report to those people outside like this." Zhou Xinrou said mercilessly.
Shen Yuanhe finally felt scared. He was thrown to the ground like a dead dog by the two maids. He quickly got up and knelt on the ground carefully, no longer having any intention of resisting.
Shen Congwen sighed: "Why don't you thank your mother for her teachings!"
Shen Yuanhe hurriedly said: "Thank you mother for your teachings!"
Zhou Xinrou sat there expressionlessly, as if she was still the princess who ate vegetarian food, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and didn't care about anything.
…
"Your Majesty, Jinmen has sent a message."
Shen Lanxi took the secret report, read it, laughed, and destroyed it.
"Your Majesty, is there any good news in Tianjin?" Liu Yanhui asked curiously.
Shen Lanxi: "The military advisor persuaded Liu Binglin to join our Great Zhou."
Liu Yanhui's face lit up with joy.
"With Liu Binglin working with us, the speed of recovering Tianjin will definitely be much faster."
Shen Lanxi smiled but did not answer, she had other plans.
The Imperial Guards came to deliver a message. They were the Imperial Guards she sent to keep an eye on the Shen family.
"Your Majesty, several girls in the Shen family have been asking for a divorce. The others have already succeeded, but Shen Yuanhe's husband's family is the only one who came to make trouble."
Shen Lanxi frowned unhappily: "Is there anyone from the Shen family who can come forward to deal with it?"
"Invite Master Shen and the princess."
"How did you solve it?"
"The princess asked the nanny to slap Shen Yuanhe. Shen Yuanhe is negotiating with her husband's family."
Shen Lanxi nodded.
"If it doesn't get to the palace gate, don't bother."
"yes!"
Liu Yanhui frowned. Why did the Shen family keep holding His Majesty back?
"Your Majesty, Wu Yanzhi has selfish motives in taking charge of the Express. He used the position of editor of the Express to exchange for his son's position as the chief official in the Ministry of Personnel."
Shen Lanxi: "It's not just flattery that Wu Yanzhi has been able to climb to his current position."
Liu Yan replied: "Unfortunately, there is no one in his family to carry on his legacy."
Shen Lanxi: "I remember that he and Liu Mingxin are in the family, or are they relatives?"
Liu Yanhui's eyes moved.
"The Liu family has such an in-law, which is simply a drag on them. It's better not to have such an in-law!"
Liu Yanhui understood.
Two days later, Wu Tingtan was killed by tiles falling from above his head at home.
Wu Tingtan has already married into the Liu family, so it is now a matter between the Wu and Liu families.
People from both families were guarding the main road out of the palace. After the two adults left the court, they immediately reported in a panic.
"Master, it's bad, something's happened to the young lady!"
"Master, it's bad, something happened to the young lady."
Wu Yanzhi and Liu Mingxin immediately rushed to Liu's house.
When Shen Lanxi proposed the concubine tax and the family tax, many people took the opportunity to divide their families. Because the Liu family had few descendants, Liu Mingxin's wife suppressed the matter and did not mention it.
Now Wu Tingtan is dead, and he died in his own home, and he was hit to death by tiles. It's so bizarre.
Although Wu Yanzhi had remarried a long time ago, he still loved this daughter very much. When he saw the corpse covered with a white cloth, he burst into tears.
“How did my daughter get killed by the tiles?”
"Who was there at the time?"
"Where was he killed?"
"If you Liu family don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me, Wu Yanzhi, for turning against you!"
After Wu Yanzhi confirmed that his daughter was dead, he started to make a scene.
Liu Mingxin felt his head buzzing and immediately called the housekeeper to question him.
"What exactly is going on? Tell me everything in front of the Prime Minister. If you hide anything, I will not forgive you."
The housekeeper's eyes flashed with panic, and he hurriedly said, "Master, I don't know. When I heard the maid screaming, I went over to see that the young lady was already dead."
"I have already asked the maids. Both maids were not with the young lady at the time. One went to get tea and the other went to get snacks. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the blink of an eye?"
Wu Yanzhi immediately understood the key point.
"Then how can you be sure that my daughter was killed by falling tiles?"
The housekeeper immediately replied, "Where the young lady got into trouble, there was a piece of bloody broken tiles. Combined with the wound on her head, the servants of the attached middle school speculated that she was killed by the tiles."
Wu Yanzhi didn't believe it and asked the housekeeper to take him to the place where the accident happened.
After reading it, I immediately became suspicious.
The wall was only two meters high, and even if tiles fell from the pavilion next to it, the pavilion was only four or five meters high, and the falling tiles might injure people, but would not kill them.
"Don't move my daughter's body, and don't move the place where the tiles fell. Anyone who moves it will destroy the scene and will be the murderer of my daughter."
Liu Mingxin felt something was wrong.
"Prime Minister, your daughter is also my daughter-in-law. Something happened to her and we are all very sad."
"But it's wrong for you to say that."
"Your daughter's death was an accident. The tone of your voice makes it sound as if our Liu family killed your daughter!"
In the court, Wu Yanzhi and Liu Mingxin have always been at odds. If it weren't for the previous emperor's arrangement of the marriage, their two families would never have become relatives.
"Whether it is true or not, it's hard to say until the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice have examined it!"
