Chapter 320 Retribution is coming
Their eyes met.
Jiang Yunze avoided his gaze.
Tao Tao stared at him blankly, trying to see through him.
But I just can’t understand it anymore.
What Qi Caiwei did in Jiangzhou almost implicated Brother Yunze.
This time, the Qi family's incident caused Brother Yunze to be sent to jail, causing him to suffer a lot.
Now Jiang Zijin has caused another terrible disaster, indirectly harming so many refugees.
Brother Yunze just lightly said that they were under house arrest and did not punish them at all.
Being confined to the temple and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, what kind of punishment is that?
Can I come back alive if I kneel down to those people?
If he knew what her mother and daughter had done, her father-in-law, who died young, would probably be furious.
Jiang Yunze's face was gloomy.
The reason why he liked Tao Tao was not because she was beautiful, but because she was well-behaved and obedient.
Now he is questioning him in front of his servants. Where does he put his dignity?
There are certainly considerations behind this approach.
"Tao, have I spoiled you too much and made you forget the difference between noble and humble? Is it your place as a concubine to take charge of the affairs of the mansion?" Jiang Yunze said as he returned the baby to her and left.
Xiao Shushu saw her father leaving with a dark face, and no matter how much she called out, he wouldn't come back.
I felt that the atmosphere between my parents was not right.
Her eyes were filled with tears and she burst into tears, with big tears rolling down her face.
Crying very sadly.
Tao Tao stood there stupidly, holding the child.
It turned out that in Brother Yunze's eyes, she was just a lowly concubine.
Not even as good as the Qi family.
All the sweet words and whispers in the past are now a joke.
Her heart seemed to be torn out in an instant, and a sharp pain spread throughout her body.
It hurts so much that I can't breathe.
Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably, and she let the child's crying drown out her sobs.
The young man who grew up with her, was gentle and courteous, and admired and respected her, was gone.
The upright Jiang Yunze is gone.
Everything she had been holding on to seemed to collapse in an instant.
Jiang Yunze listened to his daughter's crying.
After pausing, he quickly left Tao Tao's yard.
It's not that he is covering up for her.
Instead, he exchanged the lives of Qi Caiwei and Jin'er with Qi's father.
He would never touch Qi Caiwei under any circumstances.
In the next few days, Jiang Yunze was in a constant state of panic.
He was afraid that people from the government office would come to his house, and he was also afraid of being impeached by the censors. The slightest sign of trouble made him uneasy.
However, after waiting for a few days, no one from the government office came.
Jiang Yunze and Qi Caiwei, mother and daughter, all had a false alarm.
A sunny morning.
Steward Wang took out a wooden box and handed it to Jiang Yunze, "Master, someone left this at the door early this morning."
Jiang Yunze hesitated for a moment and opened it.
It was a few pieces of letter paper.
He looked at the letter, his pupils gradually dilated, his hands holding the letter paper tightened more and more, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
"Did you see who sent it?"
Butler Wang shook his head.
"Go and grind the ink. I need to write a memorial to the emperor." Jiang Yunze thought for a moment, put away the letter, and strode towards the study.
…….
Time flies.
The trampling subsided.
The war has not yet subsided and the refugees cannot return to their homeland, so how to resettle them has become an urgent task.
The court officials finally discussed and decided to provide housing for the elderly, the weak, women and children, open granaries to distribute food, and recruit refugees to join the army.
Merchants led by Lu Jia Sanniang spontaneously donated cold-weather supplies, built granaries, and recruited laborers from refugees.
It solved the plight of refugees wandering around and reduced the number of people freezing to death on the roads.
Let the refugees spend the cold winter safely.
From late winter to early spring, winter goes and spring comes.
All things are reviving and the ice and snow are gradually melting.
Green buds sprouted from the branches.
The earth is reborn.
Jiang Miaomiao's daily routine has changed a lot under the daily supervision of her second aunt.
Go to bed early and get up early.
At first, my second aunt took the gongs and drums and started beating them in her room.
So annoying!
So annoying!
She suspected that her second aunt was taking revenge on her.
But this woman is really stubborn and insists on adjusting her daily routine.
Then she really got used to it.
Wake up on time.
It's okay in spring, but it's terrible in winter.
After breakfast, the little girl went to school next door carrying a small cloth bag and a small water bottle.
Lu Zhizhi and Xier followed behind with books in their arms.
When I got there, Xiao Cheng An had already finished his class half an hour earlier.
Since witnessing the stampede, he seemed to have worked harder, as if he had grown a lot overnight.
For the first time, Jiang Miaomiao felt the strictness of Aunt Qianxue, the future Crown Princess. It turned out that not everyone could become the future queen.
It is said that she and King Jing handled the stampede of refugees together and were praised by the people.
All in all, rave reviews.
Aunt Qianxue managed to restore King Jing's reputation among the people.
King Jing no longer hid his shortcomings and directly submitted a series of memorials to his father, the emperor, pointing out the dereliction of duty and negligence of the court officials regarding the refugee incident.
The old emperor frowned as he looked at his son who was always complaining about everything.
When I see him doing nothing, I want to kick him a few times. Now that I am nosy, I want to stuff his mouth with a smelly sock.
…
It was noon that day.
Aunt Xiuxiu came back in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the door, she pulled Lu Qingyao to the next room, "Sister, the retribution of the Qi family has come."
Lu Qingyao handed him a cup of tea and said, "Drink some water and talk slowly."
Xiuxiu took it and drank it all in one gulp, then continued, "Sister, the Qi family's case has been sentenced. Their property will be confiscated and they will be exiled. The Minister of Qi will be executed in the autumn. He also confessed to colluding with Prince Su to frame General Lu for embezzling military funds."
Lu Qingyao was a little confused. She guessed that her father's case was related to the Qi family, but she had no evidence.
Yan Shaoqing never mentioned it either.
It's somewhat unreal.
Seeing her sister standing there in a daze, Xiuxiu excitedly hugged her and cheered, "Sister, your Lu family has finally been vindicated."
For some reason, Lu Qingyao felt a sour sensation on the tip of her nose.
I thought that my father could only be cleared of his injustice after my father and brother returned triumphantly.
It takes a long time to wait.
I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
After four years and six months, this day finally came.
She couldn't describe how she felt at the moment.
Crying with joy, laughing with tears falling.
Xiuxiu watched her elder sister cry and laugh, and she couldn't understand her mood, so she just quietly accompanied her and comforted her.
He patted her back gently and wiped away her tears.
After Lu Qingyao recovered, she asked, "How did the Dali Temple find out that the Qi family was colluding with the Rebel King?"
"I heard from Lord Yan that Jiang Yunze submitted a memorial, which was said to be a letter from Prince Su and Minister Qi. In order to protect the women of the Qi family, Minister Qi confessed everything and only sentenced the male members of the Qi family over ten years old to exile."
"It's Jiang Yunze!" Lu Qingyao was in a very difficult mood at the moment.
"He...has been reinstated, right?"
Although the Lu family was rehabilitated thanks to Jiang Yunze.
But his act of sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice is somewhat chilling.
This guy will do anything to climb up the ladder.
Xiuxiu nodded. "The emperor also said that he was very understanding and grateful. But I think he is very cruel. He would give up everything for power."
"Thank you! To whom are you grateful?" Lu Qingyao sneered.
