Chapter 406 Justice is in the Heart of People

After coming out of the back mountain, Song Yuqiu took the initiative to say to Xie Zhuoning, "Sister Zhuoning, how about I open a store in Nanyang for you?"

Xie Zhuoning looked at her in surprise, "Don't you want to have nothing to do with Yang Lie anymore?"

Knowing that Yang Lie was going up the mountain, she deliberately found excuses not to go ahead to meet him. Why is she willing to take the initiative to go now?

Song Yuqiu said, "I have been in Nanyang for a while, so I am familiar with the place. Besides, I drew most of the designs for Niyifang, so I know them best. So it is most appropriate for me to go there. Besides, I am here for business, so what does it have to do with him?"

Most importantly, during her time in the mountains, she witnessed too many women's misfortunes and sufferings.

She also wants to do what she can for those poor people.

Xie Zhuoning smiled calmly. She had thought too narrowly of Ah Yu. "Since you said so, why should I not let you go? When the Nanyang Army sets out to return, you can take those women with them. It will be safer this way."

"Yeah!" Song Yuqiu nodded, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She couldn't help but hug Xie Zhuoning, "Sister Zhuoning... wuwuwu..."

Xie Zhuoning smiled helplessly, "What are you doing? It's not like we won't see each other again."

Song Yuqiu choked up, "I just can't bear to leave you."

Rubbing her head, Xie Zhuoning said, "Don't worry. After we return to the capital, I will immediately send a steward to Nanyang to help you. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime."

"Then it's settled, hook."

"Hmm, hook."

That night, the Green Forest Alliance was brightly lit.

Everyone worked around the clock and finally resolved the issue of whether so many people from the Green Forest Alliance would stay or go.

The Feiyun Guards handed over the captured culprits, the accomplices, and He Wenjun, who was still dying, to the Marquis of Changxing to report to his superiors.

Yang Lie was a little worried, "Will they betray His Highness?"

"No," Xiao Jinxuan said, "After the interrogation and obtaining their confessions, Miss Song fed them all drugs that made them insensible."

With those evidences and confessions, it is enough to convict them.

Not many people on the mountain knew their identities, and they had all been greeted and would not tell anyone.

The fact that he and Xie Zhuoning had come to Xichuan was like a grain of sand falling into the water, leaving no trace and causing no splashes.

Yang Lie sighed, feeling that it was a little unfair, "You are obviously the biggest contributors, but you don't even have the qualifications to be mentioned in the merit book."

Just because one of them was under house arrest in the royal palace in the capital, and the other was already dead.

As Xiao Jinxuan and Yang Lie walked along the road, people passing by greeted them one after another, with sincere gratitude in their eyes.

He smiled, as if the bright moon was in his arms, "So what if it's not in the merit book? The people above can't see it, but the people below can see it."

Hearing this, Yang Lie was relieved, "Yes, justice lies in the hearts of the people."

After this battle, the Nanyang Army took in tens of thousands of new soldiers and grew rapidly, its strength was incomparable to before.

Like a dormant dragon, it waits for the right opportunity to take off!

When the two returned to Zhongyi Hall, they saw Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu already waiting there.

She told them that she was going to open a branch of Niyifang in Nanyang to accommodate those women, and Xiao Jinxuan nodded in approval.

"Aning is really thoughtful. Let's do it. It's not easy for women to survive. Yang Lie, please help them so that they can settle down in Nanyang as soon as possible."

When Yang Lie heard the news that Song Yuqiu was going back to Nanyang, he was already overjoyed and nodded in agreement, "No problem!"

But Song Yuqiu turned her head away, too lazy to even look at him.

As they were talking, Ling Xiao walked in quickly, "Master, Princess, the latest news from the capital!"

Xiao Jinxuan took it, glanced at it, and then handed it to Xie Zhuoning, "The prince is selecting beauties to fill the harem. This is the list of beauties entering the palace this time."

Xie Zhuoning glanced at the list, his eyes filled with dark clouds, and he sneered, "He really knows how to pick. All the women entering the palace this time are from the families of important officials."

Many are familiar faces from the previous life.

After she entered the palace in her previous life, many new people came into the palace.

Xiao Bicheng deceived every woman, secretly instigated them to fight each other, and then after squeezing out all their value, he used them to bring them down or kill them, and put the blame on her, making everyone think that she did it to win favor.

In this way, Xiao Bicheng could maintain his affectionate character in front of Bai Yingxue, and let her bear everyone's anger alone.

In the end, he got rid of all the people who should be eliminated and felt that she was useless. He could also kill her as the "main culprit" to quell the public anger.

And what about him? He hid perfectly in the background and became a wise ruler praised by everyone.

Song Yuqiu's eyes widened in surprise. "But hasn't the prince been abandoned by Sister Zhuo Ning and is inhumane? He has taken so many women into the palace. Isn't this simply harming the girls?"

Xie Zhuoning said, "Royal marriages emphasize checks and balances, which is fundamentally different from ordinary marriages. Feelings are the least important thing here."

Not to mention, many of the women here were sent to the palace by their families.

After all, now that Prince Yong has fallen and the crown prince's family is the only one in power, there is no suspense about who will be the next emperor, so of course everyone has to hold on tightly.

Her eyes fell on one of the names, Shen Shuyu, the Crown Prince's concubine.

As if she remembered something, she raised her head and asked Yang Lie, "Has the capital city said who will be sent to take over the Xichuan Army?"

Yang Lie shook his head. "I haven't received any news yet. Prince Xuan and I have predicted a few people."

He named them one by one, and they were all the more powerful generals in Daye.

The Xichuan Army is now a mess. If we don't send someone more capable, I'm afraid we won't be able to control it.

Xie Zhuoning disagreed, "Let me guess, Duke Xin Shen Yuan."

When these words were spoken, Xiao Jinxuan and Yang Lie looked sideways at the same time.

Yang Lie's mouth twitched, he didn't quite believe it, "No way, Duke Xin is almost seventy years old."

Duke Xin Shen Yuan originally followed Emperor Shunde and was indebted to him for saving the emperor. After he was injured, he retired bravely and enjoyed decades of wealth and glory.

He didn't want to fight when he was young, and now that he is about to be buried, how can he jump out and jump?

Xie Zhuoning said calmly, "It won't hurt to guess more about some people and make some preparations in advance, right?"

"Aning is right." Xiao Jinxuan nodded, and then began to analyze Duke Xin.

Yang Lie muttered to himself, "Of course your wife is right about everything she says."

Unexpectedly, Song Yuqiu heard it and rolled her eyes. "It's better than some people. What my wife says is always wrong, and what outsiders say is always right."

Yang Liedun felt a burning sensation on his face.

He thought, it’s over, this matter will probably never be resolved.
