Chapter 613: The red sedan takes out the girl from the Wu family!
After thinking about it all night, Hu Jinyu gave Shen Yuanxu an answer.
"My husband, let the children stay in the capital. Chengfeng marrying the girl from the Wu family is only temporary." His Majesty wants to deal with the Wu family, and keeping the girl from the Wu family will be a source of trouble.
Can a person like Your Majesty allow the source of evil to exist in the world forever?
Even if it wasn't His Majesty, it would be someone else. Those people in the Shen family are not easy to deal with.
"Okay, I'll write back to the capital right away!" Shen Yuanxu felt relieved when he heard this reply.
This also means that they have reached a consensus as a couple.
Before Shen Yuanxu's letter was delivered to the capital, the second house had already started arranging Shen Chengfeng's wedding.
"It's not appropriate to make a big deal about Chengfeng's marriage to the Wu family's daughter. After all, the Wu family is a criminal vassal, so just welcome them in a red sedan chair and don't invite guests to a banquet."
"Chengfeng is not old enough yet, and marrying the girl from the Wu family is just for show. In my opinion, there is no need for a wedding ceremony, just treat it as a new distant relative in the family."
"Don't worry about Yuan Xu. Everyone in the capital is watching our family now. We must get things done quickly."
"Send a memorial to the palace later. Once the palace responds, go pick him up!"
"After the Wu family girl came in, she found a secluded place in the house to spend time."
The elders of the Shen family, one after another, decided that Shen Chengfeng would marry the daughter of the Wu family.
The palace responded quickly.
allow!
Early the next morning, before the gate of the Heavenly Prison was opened, a red sedan had already stopped at the gate.
The people from the second branch of the Shen family took the handwritten letter from Shen Lanxi and some money, and quickly took the girl from the Wu family out.
Without staying long, after picking up the person, he immediately returned to the Shen family.
People on the street who got up early all looked at the red sedan chair entering the Shen family with a puzzled look on their faces.
Only later did rumors spread that the eldest son of the Shen family married the daughter of the Wu family.
Many people admired the Shen family's kindness and righteousness, while many others cursed the Wu family, saying that no one from the Wu family should be left alive.
Then came the verdict on the Wu family.
The three courts determined the charges, decided on the punishment, and then reported it to Shen Lanxi for approval.
"By the will of Heaven... Prime Minister Wu Yanzhi, who has committed many crimes, including corruption, abuse of power, and disregard for human life, is hereby sentenced to immediate execution. All his property shall be confiscated, and all family members over the age of fifteen shall be executed. All men and women under the age of fifteen shall be exiled to the border..."
Many officials in the court were in panic, especially those in Wu Yanzhi's party.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Now they are just rootless duckweed.
I thought that His Majesty would take their past achievements into consideration and give them a lighter punishment, but I didn't expect that what followed would be a bloody purge.
"Wu Yanzhi's gang consists of 43 people in total. They are scattered in various departments of the court. Some hold important positions, while others are marginal figures. They will be dealt with according to the crimes they committed, from the most serious to the least serious."
"For serious cases, their property will be confiscated and they will be exiled. For minor cases, they will be banished from the capital and sent to work in remote areas."
Shen Lanxi listened to the report from the Dali Temple and was quite satisfied with the treatment of those people.
"These days, there must be quite a few people going to your house to smooth things over, right?" Shen Lanxi joked.
Wei Jie broke out in a cold sweat.
"I have always acted in accordance with the law and have never been lenient. Those who came to my house to beg for mercy were all turned away by me."
Shen Lanxi nodded; "I believe in Lord Wei, but Lord Wei is so absorbed in the government office that he has neglected his family."
Wei Jie's eyebrows twitched, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He responded in a low voice: "I will go home after I leave the court."
…
After the court session, Wei Jie rushed home in a hurry.
He already had some understanding of Her Majesty's temper. If it was just hearsay, she would never say it.
Once it is said, there is real evidence.
When he arrived home, he kicked the door open without waiting for the doorman to open it.
"Why is there a carriage parked outside? Who is coming?"
The concierge was too guilty to look up and replied nervously, "It's the Madam's family members who are here."
Wei Jie frowned. Because of some things, his wife had already cut off contact with her family.
He took a few steps forward and felt something was wrong again.
The doorman looked guilty just now.
If it was just one time, it definitely wouldn't be like this.
"Madam's family members often come to the mansion?"
The concierge didn't dare to lie, so he nodded and said, "I come every two or three days."
Wei Jie's eyebrows jumped, and he asked with a dark face: "When she came, her hands were empty?"
The concierge thought for a moment and said, "No, they all carry things, and sometimes they carry things with them when they walk."
Wei Jie's eyes went dark, his anger soared, and he rushed towards the backyard angrily.
Backyard room
"Sister, you have to help your brother this time."
"His immediate superior had any connection with Wu Yanzhi, so he was going to be exiled to the southwest. Your brother is his subordinate, so he will definitely go with him.
"Is the southwest a place where people stay? Not only are there poisonous insects and poisonous plants, but there is also miasma. If your brother goes there, will he be able to come back alive?"
"That person said that if he could continue to work in the capital, he would give him five thousand taels. If he could stay near the capital, he would give him three thousand taels. Even if he could not stay in the capital, even if he went to a richer place, he would give him one thousand taels and promote your brother to a higher rank."
Mrs. Wei Jie had a hesitant look on her face.
"Sister-in-law, the Wu family's matter is too big. His Majesty is personally in charge of this matter. If His Majesty finds out, our master will definitely be in big trouble."
"No, no, your majesty has to deal with so many things every day. I am just a small official, and my brother-in-law has the final say."
"I heard that His Majesty has handed over all the affairs of the Wu family to my brother-in-law."
"My brother-in-law is now a big hit in front of His Majesty!"
Mrs. Wei Jie was still hesitant.
"Sister, can you really bear to see your brother suffer?"
"You only have this one brother. If he goes to the southwest, you might never see each other again in your life. How can you bear it?"
"If you don't help to intercede, how can you be worthy of your parents? Otherwise, I will let your parents come to beg you in person!"
When Mrs. Wei Jie heard her father and mother, she immediately gave up her hesitation.
"Okay, I'll try. I can't guarantee whether I can do it or not."
"As long as my sister asks, it will definitely be done. Those people under my brother-in-law will give my sister this face."
Mrs. Wei Jie was about to nod when the door was kicked open with a clang.
Wei Jie, with a dark face, walked in angrily.
"Master, why are you back?"
Wei Jie glared at his wife's sister-in-law with rage.
"Didn't you stop associating with them? Why is she still here?"
When Chen Gao saw that something was wrong, she immediately wanted to run away.
Thinking about her master's future, she suppressed her fear and said, "My brother-in-law is back. This is my first visit."
"My parents missed their daughter so much that they became sick. They asked me to come and tell my little sister something. After all, she is our biological daughter. Blood is thicker than water, don't you think?"
