Chapter 147 Rumors
In March, the change of Qionglin Banquet came to an end.Xie Hong, Kou Xiao, Zheng Lian, Lu Ye, Lu Derui and others were charged with treason. Xie Hong and Kou Xiao had been executed, and the rest were hanged.

From the Xie, Kou, Zheng, and Lu families, males over [-] years old and females over [-] years old will be punished together, and the rest will be slaves of officials, exiled for three thousand miles, and not allowed to return to Beijing for generations.

The case was heard by the Imperial City Division, which was directly responsible to Emperor Yong, bypassing Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Yushitai.At this moment, the existence of the Imperial City Division officially came into the public eye.

An institution directly subordinate to Emperor Yong and possessing privileges of leapfrogging even ransacked the homes of several major surnames in the capital, taking life and death, which was extremely cruel.It is said that the tragedy of the Lu family was committed by the Imperial City Secretary. As for the other surnames, some people passed by the prison at night, and they could often hear crying and see ghosts floating around, like purgatory on earth.

As for the mysterious commander of the Imperial City Division, he was even more brutal.Cutting out people's tongues, gouging out people's eyes, picking off tendons in hands and feet, and other tortures that others can't imagine, he can try them on people without changing his face.All of a sudden, the notoriety of Huangcheng Division spread throughout the capital, making people frightened.

The aristocratic family has lived in the capital for generations and has a deep foundation. It took days and nights just to search the house.A large amount of gold and silver treasures were transported to the capital like running water, and the people passing by couldn't help but gasp in amazement. No wonder Emperor Yong was so angry. Such a big grain of sand?
In the blink of an eye, the five surnames went to the three surnames.Under such high pressure, the only surviving Cui family couldn't sit still. The head of the Cui family took the initiative to resign to Emperor Yong, and the family moved out of the capital.

The Cui family was full of gloom, Cui Ying got angry for a long time, and after driving all the servants out of the house, she finally couldn't help crying on the bed.

Obviously, a few days ago, she was still a daughter of a noble family, but now she has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. She can't even live at home. What's wrong?
But she couldn't even ask for help.The aristocratic family is closely connected, and they don't bother to associate with poor families. Cui Ying's good sisters either sit together or go into exile. The only noble princess, Zheng Yueyao, has also been deprived of her identity, and her life and death are unknown.

On the contrary, those people she detested, such as Shu Yao, received a lot of rewards for their meritorious service in rescuing him, and Princess Jiayi also received a lot of rewards.Many of these good things moved from Xie and Zheng's family flowed into the harem.

Cui Ying wiped her tears, her eyes were full of hatred...

……

"Let me tell you, I met the rumored commander of the Imperial City Division!"

Princess Jiayi picked up a piece of plum blossom cake from the porcelain plate, took a bite, and said, "Brother Erhuang was raiding the house with the commander? I met him when I was looking for Brother Erhuang." , wearing a silver mask and a red suit, he just glanced at me so lightly that I was so scared that I didn’t sleep well at night.”

There are descriptions about this commander in the market, saying that he never wears a military uniform, but wears a vermilion official uniform, as if the color left after blood dries up.A silver mask covered his face. He smiled gently when he spoke, but he was merciless when he moved his hands. He looked like a smiling Hades.

Shu Yao stared at the plum cake in her hand: "Just listen to those rumors, are they that scary? You haven't seen him kill people."

Princess Jiayi said: "You don't know. At that time, he was still holding a long knife in his hand. With that look, he seemed to be able to easily take my life away. And his lips are very thin. This kind of person is the most ruthless." He is not merciless when he moves his hands. But I think his jaw is very beautiful, so he should be a handsome man."

Shu Yao: "...you don't need to read the books about ghosts and ghosts." You knew she couldn't speak seriously.

She snorted, "Why did he slaughter the whole family of Lu's family by himself, and why did he eat human flesh and drink human blood raw? How could normal people do this? I think it's because my uncle dismissed a large number of officials and just needed someone to do things. He played such a role. And the second cousin also participated, why didn't they choreograph the second cousin?"

Princess Jiayi looked at Shu Yao curiously, "How can you analyze the political situation? You won't speak well of the Commander just because he is a handsome man, right?"

Shu Yao choked.In the blink of an eye, the only remaining plum cake in the porcelain plate was taken away by Princess Jiayi.She immediately came back to her senses, her almond eyes filled with resentment: "That's the last piece!"

Seeing that she was about to snatch it, Princess Jiayi quickly stuffed the plum blossom cake into her mouth, "Okay, it's over. Your plum blossom cake is so delicious, why did you invite a cook? Ask him to write a recipe for me." .”

Shu Yao: "..."

The scary commander of the Imperial City Commander you speak of is that cook.

After seeing off Princess Jiayi who was eating and drinking, Shu Yao picked up the Persian cat who also wanted to eat and drink, and sat on the swing.

Shu Yao naturally heard a lot of rumors about the commander of the Imperial City Division.But how can there be no reason to not shed blood in the case of ransacking the house?But it was Li Mingji who became the commander, and they didn't dare to make arrangements for the second prince, so they pushed all the rumors on him alone.

In the final analysis, Li Ming is still a quiet person who can't control these things.

Shu Yao held on to the swing and swayed slowly, when there was a sound behind her, something was thrown in through the wall.

With the experience of being besieged last time, Shu Yao became more alert to these movements.When she got up, the Persian cat in her arms jumped down first, pounced into the grass, and picked up something.

A kit.

The shadow guard climbed over the wall and knelt in front of her: "Princess, do you want to chase that person?"

Shu Yao shook her head, "No need."

There are quite a lot of guards around the princess mansion now, it's not easy to get in, and I don't know who made such a lot of effort just to throw a kit in front of her.

The kit was scented, and the Persian cat should like the smell of it very much. It stepped on it under its paw and sniffed it for a while, then pulled the rope, and a folded letter fell out.

【Yo Yao】.

... Xie Yanzhou's words?

Shu Yao frowned, the first reaction in her heart was to throw it away, but unable to hold back the drive of curiosity, she unfolded the letter.

Xie's family was confiscated. Although his uncle spared Xie Yanzhou's death penalty, he would still be exiled for three thousand miles. He should be too busy to take care of himself now.

There were only a few words on the letter paper. Xie Yanzhou said that he was about to leave, but he would not forget his promise. He said that he had left an informant at the post station in the imperial city, and Shu Yao could contact him through the informant.

Shu Yao didn't know why Xie Yanzhou insisted on emphasizing that he would protect her, did she need his protection?
At the end of the letter, there is still the sentence:
[Beware of Li Mingji. 】
