Chapter 121 Seeking Justice
It’s unfair to Marquis Yongning!
When you are at home, evil may come from outside the door.
"Ouch, stop it! I, I'm the Marquis of Yongning, stop it!"
"I'm going to hit you!"
Although it's common sense to blame everyone for every wrong, Wu Shuyao should be held responsible first. But doesn't the old saying still hold that an undisciplined son is the fault of his father? If the daughter wasn't disciplined, it's certainly the father's fault!
Jiang Wan's logic has always been very clear. If there was no old man like Yongning Hou backing her up, how could Wu Shuyao have the courage and means to dare to put her claws into the Jiang family's rice pot?
When an avalanche occurs, no falling snowflake is innocent. When it comes to revenge, no enemy's parents should be spared from being beaten!
It would be a bit unreasonable to pretend not to hear the deafening noise of fighting in the front yard and the backyard.
Therefore, the Wu family had very good hearing, and they came over from all directions one after another. Of course, this also saved the Jiang family a lot of trouble.
The young lady whipped the object so quickly and with such a cool gesture that she left no room for the guards to maneuver. The ruffians like Ma Fei and Wang Bao, who were determined to redeem themselves for their crimes, began to demolish the house without further instructions from their master.
Like a swarm of locusts, they smashed everything they saw, trying their best to ensure that after the young lady finished her work, they would do their job well enough to satisfy their master.
After Jiang Wan kicked the Marquis of Yongning unconscious, he turned around swiftly and whipped the masters of the Wu family evenly.
Thinking about how her mother was struggling for her life on the delivery bed, the tiger that she had tried so hard to suppress in her heart finally rushed out regardless and roared to the sky.
"Ah! Who are you?"
"How dare you act so wildly in the Yongning Marquis's residence? I'll kill you!"
“Help!”
"Wuwuwu, stop hitting me..."
This was the most normal display of Doctor Xiao Jiang's martial arts skills since he traveled through time. He dealt with all the masters of the Yongning Marquisate, big and small, fairly and impartially, especially the adult men, all of whom were dressed in rags and looked very handsome.
“Stop fighting…”
“Ouch, it hurts…”
At the beginning, some people were threatening and shouting, while others were begging for mercy, but in the end, they all lay on the ground groaning in pain.
"stop!"
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed, and the last whip hit the face of the woman that Lu Guo had pointed at just now.
"ah!"
Wu Shuyao's shrill scream startled Commander Shen, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Oh my god, what deep hatred does the eldest daughter of the Jiang family have with the old Wu family? Look at how she beat this family, tsk tsk tsk.
“Third Uncle Shen.”
Putting the whip back at his waist, Jiang Wan turned and bowed politely to the Deputy Commander of the Five Cities Military Division. Her dignified and virtuous appearance betrayed nothing of the ruthlessness she had displayed when she had whipped him just now.
"Wan girl, what's going on with you?"
Shen Sanhuai looked at the miserable state of the Wu family and felt a headache. He had never seen the Jiang family's eldest daughter fight so fiercely when she played with his niece before. Did the Wu family dig up the Jiang family's ancestral graves in the middle of the night?
"I was just patrolling the streets when I heard someone come running over to report that bandits were burning, killing, and looting at the Yongning Marquis's mansion. Those people also went to Shuntian Prefecture and the Dali Temple to report to the authorities. I guess someone else will be here soon. Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"
Shen Sanhuai carefully reminded everyone of the situation outside in a few words, and then tried his best to lie with his eyes open.
Jiang Wan was very grateful and bowed to the other person again.
"Sir Shen, I also want to report to the authorities. Please ask Commander Shen to take the Wu family with him and take me to the palace."
"What? No, what are you doing in the palace?"
Jiang Wan raised the corner of his lips coldly.
"Sue the Emperor!"
The capital city is a huge place, and every corner can accommodate many dirty conspiracies and intrigues. The capital city is also a small place, so small that even the emperor doesn't understand why such things as fighting with others can run into the fourth son's wife every few days?
"Your Majesty, please help me! I feel wronged!"
The wounded Marquis of Yongning knelt before the emperor, unable to maintain his dignity as a scholar any longer, and cried bitterly.
The emperor looked at his pitiful appearance, and then looked at the civil and military officials standing by and watching him with eager eyes. Even if he wanted to protect his shortcomings, he didn't have the nerve to openly confuse right and wrong!
So he could only come over and comfort the one who was obviously wronged. He reached out to pat the other party on the shoulder to show his affection, but looking at the miserable person who was in tatters, the emperor was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to start.
"Well, Lord Wu, don't be so sad. Don't worry, I will definitely uphold justice today."
Seeing the satisfied looks on the civil servants' faces, he turned around and took two steps towards Jiang Wan, pretending to support his forehead with one hand to cover half of his face, and secretly gave him a wink.
"What's going on today? Of course I know I don't blame you, but can you give me a half-decent excuse this time?"
"Your Majesty, I am suing the Yongning Marquisate for harboring evil intentions and plotting against the state, suspecting treason!"
Jiang Wan was indeed very tactful. He knelt down with dignity and decorum, and then opened his mouth with a powerful bomb. The emperor, who was originally strolling back to his seat, lost his balance when he stepped unsteadily and nearly knocked himself onto the throne.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at his future daughter-in-law in shock.
No, you are really good at talking nonsense!
I told you to find excuses to shirk responsibility, but I didn't tell you to spread rumors and kill the entire Wu family?
Sure enough, the Yongning Marquis, who had been groaning just now, immediately knelt on the ground and swore his loyalty to the sky in a grief-stricken tone as if his father had died.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to report this. The Jiang family girl is wantonly slandering loyal and honest people! Since I surrendered, I have been diligent in my duties and have lived an honest life. I have never dared to make a single mistake.
It's really because I, Wu Hongda, am too cowardly. I only want to serve the king loyally and have never had the ambition to fight for power and profit like the Duke of Ling. That's why I was bullied by his daughter like this!
Your Majesty, please help me! Otherwise, I can only die to show my loyalty..."
Every word of helplessness is touching, and the image of an honest man who is unscrupulously oppressed by the powerful Jiang family is portrayed vividly.
Then, many people could no longer sit still. The first one to jump out was Zhu Zhaoyi's grandfather, the wise old man Changping Bo.
"Your Majesty, everything must be based on evidence. We cannot allow the Jiang family girl to so brazenly accuse others of something. This is inappropriate."
The Wu and Zhu families were originally the two most powerful families in Maocheng. Back then, they were rivals, but now they are allies.
After all, it wasn't just the Wu family that defected to the enemy in the face of battle; his Zhu family was also on the list. If the Yongning Marquisate was truly convicted of treason, then his Changping Marquisate would likely have a hard time standing.
