Chapter 217: Vicious Incident in the North
Zhu Meili covered her mouth and twitched on the ground. Some villagers who couldn't bear it vomited directly.
Wang Dadi's face turned pale with fear: "You...you cut off her tongue!"
Wang Dadi said anxiously, "How can you speak with your tongue cut off? How can you confess your guilt?"
"The evidence is clear, the witnesses are there, what else is there to say?"
Wang Dadi paused, "Although what you said is correct, but, but it is still a bit reckless!"
He looked at Rong Ye and shook his head helplessly: "Young people just can't keep their composure!"
Xie Shuangbai, who was standing next to him, suddenly fainted.
This story started just now. Xie Shuangbai in the space couldn't lie down either. He felt uncomfortable all over, but he couldn't explain it.
He saw that the time was about right, and he wanted to test out his idea, so he brought a few people out.
Sure enough, after coming out, his body didn't feel as uncomfortable as in the space. It seems that there can't be too many people entering each time, otherwise he can't bear it.
He asked Rongye to send his sister and child to Wang's house first, and he insisted on not going to see the arsonist.
Just after Zhu Meili was arrested, the energy in his heart suddenly drained away and he felt exhausted.
Rong Ye was so nervous holding Xie Shuangbai that he forgot to breathe.
Wang Dadi quickly asked Rongye to send him to the Wang family.
The Xie family's old house had been burned down, but the Wang family's house was not seriously damaged.
Xie Shuangbai's face was pale, Rong Ye held him with a cold face, and Rong Yi and the others also felt very guilty.
They were lax and thought there was no danger in the village, so they let themselves go, causing their master to suffer accidents one after another. It was their dereliction of duty.
Cui was shocked when she saw Xie Shuangbai fainted in Rongye's arms: "Shuang'er! What happened?"
Rong Ye hugged him and said, "He just fainted. Please find a clean room for him to rest."
Cui immediately took them to the side room: "Follow me!"
The house looked very clean inside and out, and it seemed that it had not been burned by the fire.
Xie Shuangbai was placed on the bed by Rong Ye. Lying on the big red quilt, Xie Shuangbai looked even weaker.
Cui felt so distressed when she saw him, but she was afraid of disturbing Xie Shuangbai's rest, so she took her wives out to clean up the mess.
Rong Ye looked at Xie Shuangbai lying on the bed, furious.
He didn't expect that there would be so many crazy people in such a small village. It seems that he is too good-tempered!
"Rong Yi passes on my order and immediately has Jiang Zheng bring a team of soldiers to garrison the village. The area around the village must be strictly guarded. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order.
Tomorrow morning, at dawn, you will have the arsonist escorted to Rongcheng. Have the county magistrate expedite the trial. Such a serious criminal must be severely punished!"
Rong Yi looked at Rong Ye, whose face was as cold as frost, and said respectfully, "I obey your orders!"
The next day, Rong San took the criminals and witnesses directly to Rongcheng.
The magistrate of Rongcheng County, who received Rong Ye's order, was sweating all over his forehead.
How could he still hold his position as the county magistrate? The last murder case hadn't settled yet, and now there's another arsonist who massacred the village. He only found out about it after the prince issued an order!
God was so kind to him. Was this a test for him as a county magistrate? He just felt that his time as a county magistrate was coming to an end.
"I have conveyed the prince's order. I ask the county magistrate to enforce the law impartially!"
The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I understand, I understand. But how could His Majesty, who is so far away in Bincheng, know about Xiaoshi Village? Could it be...?"
"How can we guess the prince's whereabouts? I advise you to conduct a thorough investigation of the case!"
The county magistrate also felt that the question was rash.
"Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely punish these evildoers severely. Your Highness, please rest assured!"
After sending Rong San away, the magistrate of Rongcheng County decisively opened a court to try the vicious incident of Zhu Meili killing people, slaughtering villagers and digging graves.
With the collection of witnesses and material evidence, Zhu Meili was quickly sentenced to immediate execution, and the execution was carried out three days later!
When this news came out, it shocked the North!
The previous vicious incidents involving Heisan and Meng were like child's play in front of Zhu Meili.
Before the end of the year, the North became famous. Such vicious incidents had not happened for many years, and the news had spread to the capital.
The Empress Dowager naturally also received the news.
"He's almost fifteen. I wonder how he's doing."
Seeing the Queen Mother suddenly ask this, Nanny Chang's mind turned to her own thoughts. Thinking of the news she received this morning, she chatted with the Queen Mother as usual:
"The prince has celebrated the New Year with the soldiers over the years, so he must be used to it. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"I'm afraid he will lead the troops. Before the New Year is over, such a thing has been reported in the North!"
Nanny Chang knew that the Empress Dowager asked this question because of this matter.
"Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Even the prince could not have expected such a thing to happen."
The Queen Mother thought about it and agreed. The people in the north were very tough. It was terrifying to think that a little girl dared to massacre the village.
Although she wasn't close to Rong Chi, he was her grandson after all. She was a little worried and said, "I wonder what kind of person Chi will be raised in a place like that!"
"The young master will definitely be taught by the best teacher, so your Majesty can rest assured."
"What has he been doing recently? I heard that he was the one who ordered this. How could he be so carefree about what happened in a village?"
"This... still needs to be investigated."
"Well, I'm tired. Please help me to rest."
Since the Empress Dowager received the news, the eunuch Changxi who was beside the Emperor naturally received the news as well.
He knows the emperor's thoughts best.
The emperor was in high spirits when he read the memorial.
"Changxi, the censor doesn't look so annoying today."
Changxi recalled that someone had complained in the morning court that Prince Liang was not managing the northern border well and that vicious incidents were occurring frequently, and that requesting the emperor to punish Prince Liang was the work of the Censorate.
"Yes, these censors just love to make suggestions. I guess even the King of Liang is helpless."
"Humph, he should also experience how annoying these old stubborn guys are!"
He looked at Changxi: "Have you found out about this?"
"I just received the news. The reason this matter was handled so quickly was because the prince gave the order himself."
"Oh? He actually has the time to care about a poor village!"
Eunuch Changxi lowered his eyes and said, "I heard that the prince went to that village with a man."
Rong Yu was so shocked that he almost dropped his pen. "Man! What man!"
"This...I don't know."
Rongyu was so happy when he realized what was happening: "Hahaha, men! I didn't expect that the second brother actually likes men!
No wonder he hated me so much when I stuffed women into his mouth. It turns out I was wrong."
The more Rongyu thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.
"Changxi, since my second brother likes men, how can I, as his elder brother, not cater to his preferences?
I don't know what kind he likes, so you can go to the Nanfeng Pavilion in the capital and pick out some beauties from all over."
He thought about it again and said, "She must be both talented and beautiful. Only then will my efforts as a brother not be in vain!"
Changxi said respectfully, "I understand. When will I be sent to the northern border?"
Rongyu took a sip of water and said, "Let's wait until after the 15th. It's not good to let my second brother be lonely for too long."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to handle this matter!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
The more Rong Yu thought about it, the happier he became, especially when he thought about Rong Ye when he saw this group of male favorites, he couldn't help laughing.
