The emperor looked at Mr. Zhou who looked panicked but was actually very calm, and knew why.

This beloved, he was so cruel to his own son, killing him as soon as he said he would, even disfigured his face, and not burying him in the ancestral grave, turning him into a lonely ghost.

Is your son so willful?

At this moment, the emperor became jealous.

Tiger poison does not eat its children, but Lao Deng is so destined to have an heir. He wants to have a son and wants to go crazy.

Sure enough, if you have too much of something, you won’t appreciate it.

If this is your own child, you must protect him no matter what, and educate him well, so that he will not become like Zhou Liao.

Good thing...

As if he thought of something, Jin Di showed a slight smile on his face, but no one noticed it.

It didn't take long for the big white duck to be escorted over. He was an honest banker. He never expected to see the emperor in this life, or to see the emperor in this way.

With so many princes and ministers looking at him, Da Zhuang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

He stammered about taking the blame.

He said that the family had a large population and it was really difficult for the family to open the pot. One day someone came to him and offered to give the family money to pay for the crime.

The family members thought that this was not beheading, but just exile, and at least they were still alive, so they agreed.

Da Zhuang is a person who doesn't have many opinions. When his parents said this, he still agreed even if he didn't really want to.

I didn't expect that being exiled was really painful, and I wished I could just die. Unexpectedly, I was kidnapped and I escaped by myself. I had no place to go, so I went to the county government office and surrendered.

What a story full of holes.

It is true that you are guilty, but being able to escape just because you are wearing chains is simply a dream.

But this is not important. What is important is that the Zhou family actually found someone to take the blame. This is a problem that cannot be avoided no matter what.

Moreover, the executioner is also unlucky. The prisoners have all been replaced, didn't you know?

On the other hand, King Wu, trembling with curiosity, asked, "Who robbed you and why?"

Da Zhuang looked confused and helpless. He didn't even dare to look in the direction of Nazhi. The face of a man from the Princess Mansion appeared in his mind. He was suddenly frightened and sweating profusely, but he had hope in his heart. He didn't want to be exiled. According to What that person said was that he was just being coerced.

Da Zhuang stammered: "No, I don't know."

"Me, my family has already collected the money."

He has been sold.

Da Zhuang said this, but Emperor Jin still called the escorting government servant to identify Da Zhuang.

The government officials were frightened and trembling, but they still carefully identified Da Zhuang. In the end, several government officials identified Da Zhuang as Zhou Liao.

It's been like this since the beginning.

Da Zhuang looked like a poor commoner, but he was a prince-in-law. The government officials knew what was in it, but they didn't dare to say it, and they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they gave it to whomever they wanted.

Emperor Jin waved his hand, and the Yamen and Da Zhuang were taken down. He looked at Mr. Zhou and said in a half-smiling tone, "Qing Zhou, you Zhou family members are very smart, and you can think of anything."

Mr. Zhou looked pale, "The guilty minister deserves to die, I am guilty."

King Wu said in a joking tone: "Who kidnapped the prisoner?"

His eyes moved to "Eldest Princess, is it you? After all, you don't know that the prince-in-law has been replaced."

What does it mean to change the prince-in-law?

Nanzhi looked at King Wu, his face full of displeasure, and his emotions were palpable, "Uncle Wang, I have reconciled with my consort, and he has been exiled with a mark on his face. Why did I bring him back? There is something wrong with me!"

King Wu smiled and said repeatedly: "I'm just saying, please don't be angry, niece. I just don't believe that my niece has given up on my consort like this."

Nanzhi became even more unhappy, "Uncle Wang, I and my consort have made peace."

King Wu said repeatedly: "I know, I know, I said the wrong thing."

King Wu was rambling, and all of a sudden everyone's attention was focused on who kidnapped 'Zhou Liao'.

I don't know if this 'Zhou Liao' is not the other 'Zhou Liao'.

Everyone was whispering to each other, wondering who had kidnapped the consort. Most likely the emperor.

Oh my god, the emperor is really unpredictable when it comes to dealing with people. Fishing and law enforcement are the most terrifying.

And there is the eldest princess.

It is said that the heart of a woman is the most poisonous. Unexpectedly, the prince-in-law was exiled, but the princess still refused to let the prince-son-in-law go.

Nanzhi felt the subtle looks in these people's eyes and knew what they were thinking.

It doesn't matter, anyway, this blame is not in vain, I am the one who robbed the person.

But do you have any evidence?

If there is no evidence, you can criticize me all you want, but there is nothing you can do against me.

But don't dance too fiercely, or I'll sue you for libel, slander.

The evidence is conclusive, and the emperor was not polite to the Zhou family. The emperor was very angry that the Zhou family was lawless.

This is true for the consort, and it is also true for taking the blame.

But instead of killing them all, Lord Zhou was deprived of his official position. The following three generations were not allowed to take the imperial examination. All those who had official positions in their families were stripped of them.

Good news, he's fine.

Bad news, the future of our children and grandchildren is gone.

Three whole generations.

Three generations, nearly a hundred years later, no talent from the Zhou family entered the imperial court, and their power shrank rapidly.

After three generations, I'm afraid they will become ordinary civilians.

However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the Zhou family still has some background.

But with no one in the court, I don't know if the Zhou family can be saved.

Mr. Zhou thanked the emperor for his kindness. Although his face was pale, he was relieved in his heart.

But the executioner on the side was not so lucky and immediately executed him.

The executioner represents the laws of a court state, but he actually accepts bribes and lets the real prisoner go.

This is trampling the dignity of the law to the ground.

The law will have no majesty.

Although the emperor's words are the imperial edict and the law, if ordinary people have reverence for the law, there will be no restraint and chaos will occur.

Emperor Jin was very angry and gave the executioner a five-horse dismemberment.

No matter what your reasons are, you are the executioner and represent the law.

If you have anything to fear, can't you tell me?

To put it bluntly, it is greed.

The executioner's body was still alive, but his soul was dead. He looked like a wooden man and couldn't even beg for mercy.

The matter of the prince-in-law was completely over. Mr. Zhou did not take the official hat lying on the ground. Now he was no longer an official. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jin and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

Others went out one after another, and when they passed Mr. Zhou, they all avoided him.

Everyone knows that there will be no Zhou family in the imperial court in the future.

Definitely lost ground.

When King Wu passed by, he paused and whispered, "You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood."

Mr. Zhou seemed not to hear, slowly stood up with his hands supporting his body, and walked out of the palace step by step.

Prince Wu's carriage was waiting outside the palace. Mr. Zhou stopped and bowed to the carriage and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

King Wu raised the curtain and said, "No need."
