Although the wounds on Luo Yunyan's body and face had healed, her mood was still greatly affected. She was depressed and unwilling to go out or see anyone.
One day she suddenly heard that Wang Xipei had died. She was so scared that she jumped up from her lying position. Zhang Baiyi hurriedly explained that it was just an explanation and she was not actually dead.
The Ghost Valley Strange Doctor, who was annoyed by the sight of Zhang Baiyi, would definitely stay with him around the clock as soon as he heard that the Duke Dingguo was coming.
He wondered if Wang Lingyi's request for Yang Yingxue to help out at the veterans' retirement home would be helpful. He wondered if he could follow suit and have his daughter, who lay flat on her back every day, help out somewhere, preferably somewhere men couldn't follow...
After Wang Xipei was rescued by Jiang Tao, Xuanyuan Huaiyu still did not give up and sent a group of people to search for her everywhere. After finding nothing, the matter fell into a strange stalemate.
Jiang Yan was somewhat nervous, for he knew everything he needed to know: it was his son Jiang Tao who had kidnapped the person.
I had originally wanted to marry my son off right there, but it didn't work out and I was blamed by my wife and father. Now, I can only grit my teeth and endure it. Fortunately, there is a tall Shangshu Wang in front of me.
Xuanyuan Hao was an emperor, and it was strange in this matter, or it was not strange. He was also a stubborn person.
He treated the Wang family and Jiang Yan very well. He did not blame them for their stance on their children's marriages, but rather understood and agreed with them. Xuanyuan Hao once scolded Lao Wu: "Why would they marry their daughter to you? If it were me, I would destroy you!"
I thought this should be the same as the queen, but while scolding, he seemed to support his son in getting his wife back.
He had given him a title at the beginning, and now his son was looking for people everywhere, so Xuanyuan Hao secretly sent a lot of people to his son.
He even wrote a note on the memorials from the county governments, asking them to help find Wang Xipei, the second daughter of Minister Wang, and to report her whereabouts immediately.
When Minister Wang found out, he was furious. Who were they helping to find? Who would they report first? Couldn't they just let my daughter be left in peace?
The Fifth Prince and Ren Jiayu's words of humiliation to my daughter have spread everywhere. My daughter has already been to the gates of hell, and you still want to bring her back?
Minister Wang was so angry that his face turned pale. Shen Zhaoshu was busy trying to comfort him and took out a secret letter with a smile.
Minister Wang read the letter by the light of candlelight and was also infected by the joy between the lines of his daughter's words: his daughter Wang Xipei was going to marry Jiang Tao in three months.
Jiang Tao is a really tough guy. How many people in the world dare to compete with the royal family for people like this?
And he is really capable.
Ever since Jiang Tao proposed marriage, a group of shop owners from all over the country came to Shangshu Wang's house every month to pay their bills. Their accounts were clear and their banknotes were neatly arranged.
Kyoto was only one of the many businesses involved. I had thought Jiang Tao was a talent lost to the water conservancy department, a genius in algorithms who earned several salaries from the Ministry of Industry.
Now it seems that I underestimated them.
The whole family was shocked to see so many shopkeepers coming to pay their bills at once. They never expected the betrothal gift to be so big.
Zhao Xinran, the daughter-in-law, was a little hesitant. Was he just in charge of collecting the money or was he also in charge of the accounts? Managing so many shops for five years would be too much.
Wang Xipei's reply: Just collect the money, and you can see the account if you want. Give little Dudu a kiss for me.
Minister Wang was no longer angry, but worried instead. She was getting married in three months. What kind of dowry should her family prepare to match the betrothal gift?
Jiang Tao had asked his mother to convey that when the Jiang family was struggling, it was Minister Wang who provided them with a monthly banknote to help them get by. Now, given the current situation, it was difficult to openly arrange a marriage, which would be unfair to Xi Pei, so he asked Minister Wang not to consider the dowry.
The fifth prince didn't find anyone, or rather, every time he found a clue, he was always a step too late.
Empress Zhang Ru came to persuade him, saying that the sea is vast and the sky is wide, so let the bird fly high. Xuanyuan Huaiyu said, "Even if she dies, she is still mine."
After all, he had contradicted the Queen and her stepmother. After saying this, he knelt aside.
Xuanyuan Hao was angry and depressed, and didn't know what to do with his son.
The Fifth Prince's words spread. Wang Xipei said, "Why not just say I'm dead? As long as you're willing to let me live."
Minister Wang then announced that the second legitimate daughter, Wang Xipei, had died unexpectedly and was no longer alive.
Xuanyuan Hao knew that this was a showdown between a king and a minister, one for his son and the other for his daughter. The only ones who could offer some advice and smooth things over were the queen and Zhang Guanghe. The other ministers were all watching the show, seemingly silent, but in fact they were using all their senses to watch the show.
But for now, the emperor and his ministers should put this knot aside. The ins and outs of the eight thousand ghost soldiers have been figured out, but how to solve it?
At present, it seems that the one who controls the eight thousand ghost soldiers is King Guanghuai. Five counties around King Guanghuai that do not belong to his fiefdom have been conquered by these eight thousand ghost soldiers. Every time a county is conquered, King Guanghuai sends troops to occupy it, and then writes a memorial, saying that he will guard it for his brother Xuanyuan Hao first, and will retreat when the court sends troops and a new county magistrate to take over.
But in fact, if the county governor sent troops to send a new county magistrate to take over, he would be annihilated by 8,000 ghost soldiers.
These eight thousand ghost soldiers are immortal and uninjurious, not afraid of water or fire, and do not need to eat or drink. Their only shortcoming is that they can only fight at night. How can we defeat such an army?
Almost invincible, constantly consuming the Xuanyuan Dynasty's military strength.
On the surface, King Guanghuai did not admit that he used the Yin soldiers, but just said that it was a strange thing sent from the sky, and he almost said that God would destroy Xuanyuan Hao.
Now the report says that the sixth county has been conquered.
The Ministry of Justice also submitted the case files of the Duke of Fuguo. In the end, Xuanyuan Hao sentenced Luo Rui, Qu Hongfu, and Qu Feng (Qu Hongfu's younger brother, who was in charge of accounting in the army before Luo Rui retired) to death.
His titles of Duke of Fuguo and General of the Cavalry were stripped away, and his descendants no longer enjoyed the hereditary title of Duke of Fuguo.
The Duke of Fuguo's residence was confiscated. The Qufeng residence was also confiscated.
Li Muyun was allowed to divorce, and because Li Muyun had cooperated in the investigation, her son Luo Yi was allowed to be freed from the status of a criminal relative and could become a civilian.
