"Yueyue, it happened, it happened!"
The little birds included three mice. Their father and mother had died, and now only the three siblings were left.
Everyone gather together
"Tell me quickly, what's that expression?"
Congcong covered his chest,
[He didn't go! His whole family disappeared? Where's Su Gu? Go find him and bring him back.]
He gave all his wealth to Su Gu.
[I trusted them so much, yet they betrayed me!]
Suddenly I had trouble breathing, my eyes widened,
[Pfft, Yandong, we must catch them back, we must~]
Then fell to the ground, the performance was over
"Did you vomit blood?"
"I would definitely vomit blood. If my entire fortune was defrauded by my most trusted servant, I would be furious."
"It's really unfair for the steward to bear this blame."
"If you feel they are wronged, why not tell the Marquis that I took it away?"
"Yueyue~ How could you think of me like that? Besides, even if I howled to death, he wouldn't understand!"
"You really want to go and tell on me? I won't have any meat for three days."
"Yueyue, it's just a little joke, you can't take it seriously, right?"
Bai Zhiyue rolled her eyes.
"They used to be loyal to the Marquis' Mansion, but not to me. They were accomplices, eating and using my things. Even the pile of property they took away, much of it came from me.
How did the kitchen and the servants in the mansion treat me? As the housekeeper, how could he not know? What did Rong Shi do? How could he not know? I didn't pursue the matter and even let him take away all the property. I was already very generous.
"That's right, Yueyue is right. He treated you like that before, and yet you let them leave alive. Letting him take the blame is what they deserve."
Fortunately, Congcong is not a human, otherwise he would definitely be a traitor who could betray at any time.
"You are such a magpie! We have always respected you like a big brother."
The other birds looked at his servile appearance and couldn't help but wonder if this was really the bird tyrant who was invincible in the Marquis' Mansion?
“Have you ever heard of people dying for money and birds dying for food? It’s really scary to be uncultured!”
"If you die, you won't be able to eat anything. It's better to be alive. Let's go see what the doctor says, No. 1!"
An hour later, No. 1 came to report
"The imperial physician said that Su Chen had just had a heart attack due to anger, and he had been drinking heavily recently, so he was in danger of having a stroke."
"Okay, here's our chance. Doudou, let's go get the drugs!"
"What medicine does mother want to use?"
"Didn't the imperial physician say he was in danger of a stroke? Then let him have a stroke."
Bai Zhiyue took out a 10ML tube of medicine, sucked it into the syringe, and placed the syringe in the palm of her hand.
"Let's go and take care of the Marquis!"
Bai Zhiyue carried Doudou to Su Chenggang's residence.
After sending the imperial physician away, someone went to get the medicine and boiled it, while Yan Dong stayed in the room to take care of Su Chengang.
"My Lord, they can't escape. Tomorrow we will spread their portraits throughout the states and we will definitely catch them."
"No, don't alarm the government office. We'll send someone to look for it ourselves."
"Why not..."
"If I say no, then no. Do you also want to betray me?"
Seeing Su Chengang getting excited again, he hurriedly said
"I will never betray you, Lord, please calm down."
"Humph! Su Gu has hundreds of thousands of banknotes in his hands. If the news gets out, they will be killed, but my banknotes will also be snatched away. They are the money accumulated by the Marquis' Mansion over the years and cannot fall into the hands of thieves."
Yan Dong then realized that Su Gu actually took all the savings of the Marquis Mansion.
"Go and tell the captain of the guards to split up into several teams and secretly investigate Su Mingzhong's family in various places. A swallow leaves a sound, and a person leaves a trace. It's impossible for them to disappear completely. Find them, take back the banknotes, and execute them all as fugitive slaves."
"I'll arrange it right away."
After Yan Dong left, Bai Zhiyue entered the house.
"I heard that the Marquis is ill. Is it because my concubines didn't serve him well enough that he got angry?"
"What are you doing here? Go back to your yard. Madam, you don't need to worry about me here."
When Su Chen saw her, he was instinctively a little scared and didn't want to be in the same room with her.
"How can I just ignore the Marquis's illness?"
At this time, the servant brought in the medicine.
"Master, the medicine is ready."
"Put down the medicine and get out!"
"yes"
The servant placed the medicine beside the bed and left.
Bai Zhiyue came forward holding Doudou
"You must take good care of yourself, your son is still young!"
I always feel like he is about to die.
Doudou cooperated with her mother's babbling to attract Su Chenggang's attention. He couldn't help but look at his fair and strong son, who was well taken care of.
While he was looking at Doudou, Bai Zhiyue put her hands behind her back, injected the medicine in the syringe into the medicine bowl, and then asked
"Do you want me to serve you medicine?"
"No need, Yan Dong will be back soon, and he will be there to serve you!"
At this time, Yan Dong came back after giving orders to the guards
"Madam, you are here."
"Hurry up and serve the Marquis the medicine. It's already cold."
"yes!"
Bai Zhiyue watched him drink the bowl of medicine before leaving. From then on, if he did anything that would stimulate his heart and brain, he would have a stroke.
It fits the imperial physician's diagnosis, doesn't it?
After nearly a month of intensive investigation into the Rong family case, the perpetrators were finally apprehended. The officials at court, after a month of intense anxiety, finally relaxed.
Since he ascended the throne, his approach has been completely different from that of the previous emperor. He has been committed to consolidating military power and breaking the control of the court by the aristocratic families.
How could the powerful noble families be willing to do so? They believed that these powers were given to them by their ancestors and how could they be taken back? Therefore, the two sides have been in a state of confrontation, and the emperor has been unable to do anything about them for a while.
The emperor severely punished several officials involved in the Rong family incident.
These are mainly corrupt, covering up for each other, and ruthlessly suppressing the lower-class civilians. Although they did not collude with the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty was replaced by Daliang because of its bottomless exploitation of the poor.
Therefore, even though the national treasury has been poor in recent years, several emperors have never punished the common people and the poor. However, these corrupt officials with no bottom line have corrupted the court atmosphere, and the emperor is extremely angry.
The Rong family was sentenced to death, and even the clansmen from their hometown were killed. They were all descendants of the old dynasty, and even if most of them did not participate in the previous dynasty's plan, they were implicated.
All other officials involved, including adult men, were beheaded, and the rest were exiled to remote border areas. This was the emperor's wrath.
It is also to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to deter those who are hiding in the dark with rebellious intentions and forming gangs and are greedy and have no bottom line.
It did have some effect. Officials have become much more obedient during this period and no longer constantly contradict the emperor in the court.
That night, yes, it was night again, the emperor's men came to the door again.
"Madam Bai, the Emperor invites you!"
She hadn't done anything out of the ordinary recently, had she? Did the Emperor find out about the money she had taken back? Or had they discovered she had drugged him?
It was already agreed that Su Chengang would be taken care of by her, so there was no need to look for her for this matter.
