"Is what you say the truth, and no one is allowed to question it? Then from now on, all cases in the Great Chu will be decided by the Duke of Dingguo. Whatever you say is law; it'll save you a lot of trouble."
Duke Dingguo was speechless for a moment after being choked by Xiao Yanchu's words, and could only look at Xiao Chenyi, "Your Majesty, the Regent Prince is slandering General Wei out of thin air. I beg Your Majesty to do justice for General Wei and not to discourage the soldiers on the border."
Xiao Yanchu stopped talking and just watched Xiao Chenyi, waiting to see how he would decide.
In this incident involving the Su family, Xiao Chenyi did not make things too difficult for them, and Xiao Yanchu decided to give him another chance to hone his skills.
Xiao Chenyi rubbed his slightly aching temples and finally said, "Until this matter is investigated, Su Wenzhou shall stay home for the time being and shall not go out without imperial decree. Xu Jingnian, Minister of Justice, and Deng Yi, Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, shall go to Mohan to investigate this matter. We will discuss everything after the investigation is clear. You may all leave."
This means Su Wenzhou is being placed under house arrest, and Xiao Chenyi's handling of the situation is fairly standard.
To make a judgment, you always need solid evidence.
"We take our leave." Everyone withdrew.
Back at the Su family home, Su Yunfeng told everyone about it.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Su Ruojin thought for a moment and then said, "It seems that as long as the Su family doesn't fall, some people still can't put their minds at ease."
Although Su Wenzhou was not convicted of any crime, Madam Su still looked worried.
Upon seeing this, Su Ruojin walked to Madam Su's side and gently hugged her. "Mother, don't worry. The truth will surely come out. Third Brother rarely spends much time at home throughout the year. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay home and keep you company during this time? Would you feel uncomfortable if Third Brother didn't go to Mohan to suffer?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Su was amused by Su Ruojin. What mother would be willing to let her child suffer?
However, after Su Ruojin said that, Madam Su was no longer upset.
Yes, it's a good thing to let Wen Zhou stay home more often during this time.
"Mother, don't forget about Miss Qin. This is a great opportunity," Su Ruojin whispered in Madam Su's ear.
Mrs. Su immediately understood her daughter's meaning, and her mind immediately turned to this matter, which lessened her worries.
You can go to the battlefield anytime, but your son's marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Seeing that Xiao Jin had only whispered a few words in his wife's ear, and the worry on her face had disappeared, Su Yunfeng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Madam, what did Xiao Jin say to you?"
Madam Su rolled her eyes at Su Yunfeng. "How could you possibly know about my private conversations with Xiao Jin?"
Su Ruojin looked at Su Yunfeng and smiled without saying a word.
Su Yunfeng felt that his little cotton-padded jacket was letting in some drafts.
"Who do you think did this?" Su Jiu'an asked.
After Su Wenzhou left, the defense map did indeed fall into Wei Xuebin's hands, just as Xiao Yanchu had said. If we were to say who was most likely to be involved, Wei Xuebin would be the prime suspect.
Before everyone could even discuss it, Hu Qing rushed in, looking anxious.
