Chapter 106

Chapter 106

    On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, Young Master Xiaoyao's Newsbook was published again, and there were two at once, which surprised the readers.

    And the case of the Duke of Qi's mansion is already under trial. As soon as the news came out, combined with Young Master Xiaoyao's new story, the people all understood that this once invincible and powerful family had actually turned into this appearance. .

    For a while, the scolding was incessant.

    And as the news spread, inside and outside the capital, many people who had been oppressed by the Duke of Qi came to the yamen to beat drums and complain about their grievances. There are as many as ten piles, big or small.

    At such a moment, the local officials did not dare to ignore it.

    As a result, the scope of the case has continued to expand, and it took nearly half a month for the two departments, including the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, to hear the case clearly and report it to the king.

    Seeing that the verified evidence of the crimes involved more than ten lives, the king was so angry that he personally criticized Guo Zhenghai's crime of beheading on the spot.

    His subordinates followed his aides, and all those involved in the case were dealt with seriously, including beheading in severe cases, exile in light cases, and no pardon.

    As accomplices, Guo Zhenghai's wife and children were also sentenced to exile and sent to the bitter and cold places at the border. However, the residual poison in his son's body did not disappear, and he died on the road before leaving the capital fifty miles away.

    As for the Duke of Qi who sold his nephew and brother-in-law and killed dozens of people in his father-in-law's family, he had a stroke after returning home as early as the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and he returned to the west within three days.

    So far, an aristocratic family that has been brilliant for decades has completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

    Of course, the sage is merciful. While disposing of the Guo family, special officials have counted the concubines and subordinates in his house one by one, and all those who did not participate in the evil deeds of the Guo family are freed.

    In this way, the eldest girl from the Lin family was finally able to return to her home in Luzhou and be reunited with her parents.

    When the turmoil in the Duke's Mansion of Qi officially came to an end, it was already September in the capital, and the weather in the morning and evening was already a bit cold.

    Yan Shu's belly became bigger again, and even if she was wearing a thick robe during the day, she could still see a little of her figure.

    It became even more obvious when I changed into my bedclothes at night.

    Yu Wenlan has been busy for more than half a month. It is rare that she came early tonight. When she stepped into the hall, she saw that she had only come out of the bathroom.

    Rendong Lianxin supported her master from left to right, and when she saw the king, she hurriedly wanted to salute, only to bend her knees, but listened to the king, "Come on." Naturally, she reached out her hand to replace them and supported Yan Shu.

    The two of them should have bowed their heads and retreated.

    There was no one else in the room, and before Yan Shu could speak, she saw Yu Wenlan sizing her up and sighed, "My stomach seems to be getting bigger."
