Chapter 776 The whole family is probably doomed

"My friend intercepted evidence that the people of Xiyi were posing as the Nanman group and causing chaos in Daxia. As a result, he was hunted all the way and had to hide in the mountains. And Governor Pang, you helped the people of Xiyi to hunt down my friend. What do you want to do?"

Xingxing's voice is very light, not too heavy.

However, Pang Ruhai seemed to be pressed down by some invisible hand. His knees slammed on the ground, and cold sweat dripped down his pale face: "My princess, please be wise! My princess, please be wise! I, I was just helping my old friend to catch the thief. I didn't know that he, he would be like this!"

"So, in order to catch the thief, we have to deploy troops along the main roads?" Yu Yonggui sneered, "You are a fool!"

Pang Ruhai was sweating coldly: "That, that is to investigate the imperial court's important criminals..."

Yu Yonggui sneered: "Okay, then let me ask, who is the wanted criminal of the imperial court? Where did he appear? Who is the witness? Do you have the case file?"

Pang Ruhai is the local boss of Anjiang. He just arrested people under the pretext of arresting wanted criminals of the imperial court. He never thought that anyone would come to investigate him. How could he have made such preparations?

Pang Ruhai was so confused by Yu Yonggui's question that he stammered and cold sweat almost flowed into his eyes.

"The evidence is as strong as a mountain." Yu Yonggui said with a bit of contempt and impatience, "Don't talk nonsense anymore. To tell you the truth, I still have a lot of testimonies. Don't worry, these testimonies are very strict and I will hand them over to the Ministry of Justice. You might as well think about how to talk to the people in the Ministry of Justice when the time comes."

Pang Ruhai and Luo both looked dejected, knowing that their entire family was probably finished this time.

Their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

However, at this moment, Pang Jinkang suddenly rushed to Xingxing in a state of collapse. Wei Shiyan, who was originally sitting beside her, stood up abruptly with the blade at his waist half unsheathed, but saw Pang Jinkang kneeling not far from Xingxing with a thud.

Pang Jinkang was filled with despair, and kowtowed to Xing Xing vigorously: "Princess, Princess, we are wrong. We shouldn't have looked down on you because you were a merchant's daughter, and we shouldn't have had the despicable intention of taking you as a concubine...Princess, please be merciful, please don't hold it against us, I kowtow to you to apologize...Apologize to you!"

Xing Xing took a while to react. Oh my god, Pang Jinkang thought that all he did was because the Pang family had offended her, and she was taking revenge on them?

How to say it?

He even thinks highly of himself.

Luo was so scared that she was paralyzed, but seeing her son kowtow to Xingxing again and again, she didn't know where she got the strength from, she struggled to stand up, and kowtowed in the direction of Xingxing, crying: "...Princess, Princess, all this was done by my husband and me, it has nothing to do with my son! He, he knows nothing... Please let him go for the sake of his friendship with you and your sister. Please!"

Yu Yonggui stood in front of Xing Xing with a face full of anger. "Enough! You still have the nerve to say that you are on good terms with my brother and I! You forced my sister to be his concubine, and sent soldiers disguised as bandits to intercept our convoy. Is this what you call 'on good terms'?! Come on!... If my sister wasn't a princess, but was really just that merchant girl Feng Yongyong, I don't dare to imagine what kind of life she is leading now! Imprisoned by you, trampled on by your dignity, humiliated and tortured?!"

Yu Yonggui became angrier as he spoke.

In the face of national affairs, Yu Yonggui had never thought of mentioning the evil that the Pang family had done to them. After all, the fact that they had helped the people of Xiyi to commit evil was enough to send their entire family to hell.

But I can’t stop the other party from jumping out on his own!

Wei Shiyan had no expression on his face, but his sword was almost unsheathed.

Xing Xing quickly pressed the hilt of the sword and pushed it back.

She turned to Pang Jinkang and said, "Didn't I just tell you about what your family did? Did you really not understand or were you pretending not to understand? Then let me tell you again, your good uncle, Tuoba Chi, sent people to pretend to be southern barbarians to cause chaos in my Great Xia territory. My friend has evidence of his wolfish ambitions, but he was hunted down by Tuoba Chi and your father for several months. I came here to find him at the order of His Majesty and the Empress. Now that we have met, my brother has detailed relevant evidence in his hands. Not only Tuoba Chi, but your whole family will be taken to the capital for trial, understand?"

Pang Jinkang's whole body began to tremble violently. He wanted to say something, but his body was out of control and he leaned to the side and fell.

It doesn't look good.

Luo was so anxious that she cried out miserably: "Kang'er, Kang'er!"

Yu Yonggui leaned over to take a look and clicked his tongue.

Xingxing was not surprised.

She had given him a heavy dose of the drug before, and now there was the attack of having his family's property confiscated and his entire family destroyed. This was a huge shock to Pang Jinkang, so it was normal for him to not be able to handle it.

As long as you don't die, it's fine.

…

Xingxing commanded the soldiers she had transferred from the border with the princess's jade token in an orderly manner and sealed off the entire Anjiang prefectural government office.

Except for Tuoba Chi and Anjiang prefect Pang Ruhai's family, all officials in the prefecture were temporarily detained in jail, awaiting further trial.

For a time, all the officials and their families in Anjiang City felt insecure.

Qiu Yuansang's father was the chief clerk of the yamen and was also detained. Qiu Yuansang knelt outside the yamen with her severely injured body to plead for her father.

An Zhenzhen also had an uncle who worked as a minor official in the government and was also imprisoned.

She came to the outside of the yamen hesitantly.

Seeing Qiu Yuansang kneeling there begging for mercy, An Zhenzhen did not dare to get off the carriage. She stayed in the carriage, lifting a corner of the curtain to see what was happening.

An Zhenzhen felt that the princess was very kind. She poisoned herself and was discovered, but the princess didn't do anything to her. Maybe she and Qiu Yuansang could really plead for someone in their family...

However, An Zhenzhen still didn't understand Xingxing.

Xingxing is kind-hearted, but she also has principles.

Qiu Yuansang's wounds were still oozing with blood. He came to plead for his father without any regard for the consequences. Isn't this a form of coercion?

But, was Qiu Yuansang's father, as the chief clerk, really unaware of what Pang Ruhai had done?

How is this possible?

Xingxing did not show up, but only let Qingshuang come out and say something to Qiu Yuansang - if Qiu Yuansang's father really had nothing to do with this matter, then why would he come to plead for mercy.

But if there really is a connection, then by coming to plead for mercy, is she trying to interfere with the judiciary by relying on her friendship with the princess?

Qing Shuang was born cold and aloof. When she didn't smile, she looked at people with a bit of coldness: "The princess asked me to ask you, do you want to stay in prison with your father?"

Qiu Yuan and Sang Hun shuddered.

In the end, she staggered away with the help of her maid.

An Zhenzhen was so frightened that she didn't even dare to get off the carriage.

But Qing Shuang seemed to have seen through something and looked towards An Zhenzhen's carriage.

His gaze met that of An Zhenzhen who was peeking through the car curtain.

An Zhenzhen was so frightened that she shrank back into the carriage and urged the driver to drive away.

Qing Shuang saw Qiu Yuansang leave and An Zhenzhen also left, and nodded with satisfaction.

These little girls should just behave themselves and not cause trouble for their princess.

…

When Yu Yonggui came in, Xing Xing was massaging Wei Shiyan's legs, watching how his bones were recovering.

As soon as Yu Yonggui came in, he couldn't help but let out a "hiss" and frowned.

Xingxing had her back to Yu Yonggui and was fully focused on checking on how Wei Shiyan's leg bone was healing, so she didn't notice that Yu Yonggui had entered the room.

Wei Shiyan did see it, but there was no expression on his face.

Xing Xing still asked Wei Shiyan with concern: "...Does it hurt when I pinch you like this?"

Wei Shiyan remained calm: "It doesn't hurt."

Xing Xing used some more force: "...How about this, does it hurt?"

Wei Shiyan still had no expression: "It doesn't hurt."

Xing Xing pressed a few more spots and raised her head to look at Wei Shiyan's expression. Seeing that Wei Shiyan really didn't feel any pain, she smiled happily and stood up from in front of Wei Shiyan: "You're recovering very well!"

Wei Shiyan put down his coat and said, "Thanks to you."

"Brother Yan has a good physique, and the dried fish he brought back can also help wounds heal." Xing Xing said, "Speaking of which, I'll ask the kitchen to bring the dried fish and add a few dishes tonight. Many guards were injured this time, and I hope they can heal soon..."

As Xingxing was talking, she turned around and tried to get the cup to pour water, but she saw Yu Yonggui standing behind her, which scared her.

"Fourth brother, when did you come? You scared me to death." Xingxing touched her chest.

Yu Yonggui said quietly, "Sister, I know you studied medicine since you were young, and your five senses are very sharp. But I have been here for a while, and you didn't see me. What does that mean? It means that you were completely focused on the Second Prince just now..."

Xingxing didn't know why, but she felt a sudden heat in her ears when she heard this.

She stuttered and explained in a low voice: "...Brother Yan's physical condition is special, so you have to concentrate when you are seeing the patient."

Yu Yonggui looked at Xingxing dimly.

Xingxing didn't look at her fourth brother, but lowered her head and poured herself a cup of tea.

Qing Shuang happened to come back at this time. She walked in from outside and reported: "... Miss Qiu has been sent back. I saw Miss An secretly watching for a long time. After Miss Qiu left, she hurried back."

As soon as Qing Shuang finished speaking, she discovered that Yu Yonggui was also there.

Qing Shuang paused: "You are here too."

The voice unconsciously softened.

Yu Yonggui couldn't help but grin: "Yes. I came to see you."

Qing Shuang asked naturally, "What's the matter?"

Yu Yonggui glanced at Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan, then stepped forward and took Qing Shuang's hand: "... Let's talk outside."

Qing Shuang: "...Okay."

Both of them looked serious on the surface, but their ears were actually red. They held hands, but their steps were so stiff that they couldn't even get over the threshold.

Xing Xing: “…”

She whispered to Wei Shiyan, "Brother Yan, how about we go out?"

Wei Shiyan agreed to Xingxing's arrangement without hesitation: "Okay."

Yu Yonggui and Qing Shuang were still standing at the doorstep, looking at each other in a daze. Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan walked out from beside them, one from the left and the other from the right.

Xing Xing also kindly reminded: "If you two have anything to say, just talk inside the house. Brother Yan and I are going out for a walk."

Yu Yonggui came back to his senses a little. Why did his sister want to go out alone with that person again?

But he was still holding Qing Shuang's hand, and he thought, forget it, if my sister wants to go out with the Second Prince, then let her go.

At least, they didn't hold hands, right?!

Thinking of this, Yu Yonggui's gaze could not help but fall on his and Qing Shuang's clasped hands.

In fact, the hands of both men were not that soft. Due to years of martial arts training, there were many old scars on the knuckles.

But Yu Yonggui felt that Qingshuang's hands were so soft, so soft that his heart seemed to melt into a pool of water.

The two of them stared at each other blankly for a long time before Qing Shuang blushed and turned away uncomfortably, "...How about we go inside and talk?"

Yu Yonggui seemed to have just woken up from a dream and stuttered: "Ah?...Oh, okay, okay..."

The two of them then hurriedly went back into the house, but they were reluctant to let go of each other's hands.

…

Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan walked out of the yard. After they walked a little further away, Xing Xing stuck out her tongue and said, "My fourth brother is so stupid."

Wei Shiyan showed no expression, but agreed: "Yeah."

"It looks like I'll have another sister-in-law this time." Xing Xing couldn't help laughing, "It's a good deal for my fourth brother."

Wei Shiyan was not familiar with Qing Shuang, so he did not express his opinion for the time being.

Fortunately, Xingxing had been playing with Wei Shiyan since she was a child, and later lived in a cave with Wei Shiyan for more than half a month, so she had become accustomed to this way of getting along with Wei Shiyan.

Xing Xing turned sideways and looked at Wei Shiyan: "Are you nervous about returning to Beijing this time?"

Wei Shiyan nodded expressionlessly: "Nervous."

Xingxing looked at him for a long while and then burst into laughter.

Wei Shiyan looked like this, but he didn't seem nervous at all.

However, he left home at a young age, leaving his parents and brothers.

Now he is eighteen years old, the death crisis has completely passed, and his fate has changed. He is returning to Beijing and has many things to face. Xingxing knows that he did not lie to her, and she is also nervous about this matter.

"In fact, His Majesty and His Majesty miss you very much." Xing Xing thought for a moment, "I felt it when I was in the capital. His Majesty and His Majesty were very friendly to me. I think they knew that we had known each other since childhood."

This time Wei Shiyan said nothing.

Xing Xing thought about it and promised generously: "If you don't want to go back to the palace, I have my own house in the capital, which you can live in! ... But no one has lived there before. If you want to live there, I will have someone clean it out and decorate it in advance."

Wei Shiyan's eyes then showed a hint of smile, although it was faint, but it made him look as if he was glowing with a different color.

Wei Shiyan thought for a moment before replying, "Okay. It doesn't matter where I live."

He has lived in the mountains for more than ten years and has lived in the most humble of places.

Xing Xing thought of the great Taoist priest Qin: "Come to think of it, did your master go back to Beijing with you? I haven't seen the old Taoist priest for a long time."

"I have already written a letter to my master." Wei Shiyan said, "but he has not replied. I guess he has been running around looking for me and may not have seen the letter. I have already told him in the letter that I am going to the capital."
