Chapter 56 Retribution
On the day that the survivors in the case of Yan Yuncai and his son's murder of good men were sent to Luoyang, Song Zhijie arranged for someone to deliver the letter in his hand to the Marquis of Wu'an.

Marquis Wu An immediately called Meng Ziyi to question him. When he found out that it was true, he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't even care about beating and scolding Meng Ziyi. Instead, he cried and knelt down in front of his son and said:
"Do you know that you will kill the whole family by doing this? If His Majesty finds out, even your great-aunt will not be able to save you."

Meng Ziyi knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, but still shook his head to defend Qiao Anran:
"Father, An Ran is kind and pure. She was afraid that I would be sad, so she specifically told me that she was also forced. She only did it to save her father and uncle..."

Seeing that his son was still so obsessed with obsession, Marquis Wu An was completely disappointed. He called the person in charge and immediately took Meng Ziyi back to his hometown in Yuezhou to take care of him. He changed into plain clothes and went to the palace with the letter to plead guilty to Emperor Mingde. up.

For half a month, Luoyang, the capital city, was in turmoil.

The case of ex-court elder Yan Yuncai and his son murdering good men and committing meritorious service is convincing. The Yan family was ransacked again, and everyone in the family was imprisoned.

Tie Lanxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also imprisoned for privately mobilizing soldiers to intercept and kill the leader of the Habayashi guards, Shen Qingyang, and the imperial physician Mei Xue.

Because of a large amount of evidence proving that Tie Lanxiang had embezzled millions of taels of silver in the Ministry of War for several years, Emperor Mingde was furious and ordered the Tie family to be punished severely.

In order to give his children and grandchildren a chance, Tie Lanxiang not only produced evidence to prove that most of the embezzled money went to the Yan family, but also revealed the truth about the massacre of the Mei family in Qiantang.

Qiao's mistress, Yan Shi, was taken into prison by the Ministry of Criminal Justice that day.

In Zhaoyang Hall, Emperor Mingde was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face covered with clouds.

Empress Shen twisted a veil and put it on Emperor Mingde's forehead, and persuaded him gently:
"Your Majesty, although Qiao's behavior is disorderly, she is pregnant after all. The concubine has seen her life, and the child should be of the blood of the royal family. Why don't you save her life and wait until the child is born?"

Seeing that Emperor Mingde still had his eyes closed and said nothing, a smile slipped from the eyes of Empress Shen, and she continued to persuade with a choked voice:

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Qiao is young and ignorant, but she has already confessed that the letter was written by her brother for her to copy, in order to deceive Zi Yi so that he can continue to use the Hou Mansion in the future. Thanks to Zi Yi that The child has a pure heart and directly handed the letter to Marquis Wu An."

Emperor Mingde finally let out a long breath, and said in a cold and slow voice:
"It is my will that the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family deceived the emperor and committed crimes. Their father was exiled in Lingnan, their mother was punished as an official slave, and their elder brother was sent to guard the imperial tomb after being sentenced to death. They will not return to Beijing."

Empress Shen thanked Qiao's family for her kindness, and she left Zhaoyang Hall in a palanquin after serving Emperor Mingde to fall asleep.

Death is the easiest thing. There are ways to make life worse than death in this world.

In Liuyun Palace, Qiao Anran was escorted by two servants, and a white silk thread hung in front of her eyes through the beam.

Qiao Anran struggled and cried out with tears all over her face:
"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty, I am pregnant with a prince, you can't treat me like this."

At this moment, the palace gate suddenly opened, and Empress Shen's sedan chair was carried directly to the entrance of the main hall.

Aunt He waved her hand, and the palace servants who were about to carry out the execution hurriedly retreated.

Empress Shen walked in slowly, and Aunt He hurriedly helped an overturned round chair to sit on for her.

Qiao Anran cried hoarsely, curled up on the ground and clutched her stomach tightly.

Like clutching the last talisman.

Empress Shen still smiled gently, looked at Qiao Anran lovingly and said:

"Poor thing, I was so scared at such a young age, if there is something good or bad, what can I do?"

Qiao Anran knelt and walked to Queen Shen's feet, crying and holding Queen Shen's skirt to beg.

Aunt He was disgusted, she knocked off Qiao Anran's hand and tore her away.

Empress Shen got up, looked at Qiao Anran with a smile and said:

"Bengong loves you very much all the time, why would you want to die? I have already interceded for you, and you can live until after giving birth.

But ah, life in this cold palace is not easy, and you are pregnant again, so please ask for blessings! "

Empress Shen got up and walked out while talking, and told Aunt He:

"Tell her the fate of her parents and brother. She is capable, and maybe she can think of a way for them!"

Empress Shen's phoenix gradually went away, and Aunt He told Qiao Anran about Emperor Mingde's punishment decision with a cold face.

For a long time, Qiao Anran couldn't recover. Seeing that Aunt He was about to leave, she rushed forward and begged:
"Please, aunt, please send a message to Mei Xue, I want to see her, I must see her."

It was impossible to count on the grandfather's family, and the rest of the relatives were either dismissed from office, imprisoned, or hid and refused to show their faces.

Now the only person she could think of who might help her was Mei Xue.

She always believed that Mei Xue was Qiao An Yi.

As the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, Mei Xue shouldn't turn a blind eye to them, the Qiao family.

Aunt He sneered, looked at Qiao Anran with disgust and said:

"Mr. Qiao, are you confused? What's the relationship between Miss Mei and your Qiao family? Have you forgotten about the confession of relatives by dripping blood?
Besides, now our Empress Dowager, the Eldest Princess and the Crown Princess are all counting on Miss Mei to take care of her health. Where does she have the time to see you? "

After Aunt He finished speaking, she kicked Qiao Anran away, turned around and left.

Qiao Anran collapsed to the ground, weeping again.

The three divisions interrogated, and the case of Yan Qiao and Tie Sanjia came to a conclusion soon.

Men and women under the age of 12 in the Tie family survived and were all sent out as slaves outside the customs.

The whole family of Yan's family was copied and beheaded.

More than 20 civil and military officials were also implicated in the case. Suddenly, rivers of blood flowed from the archway in the west of Beijing, and the people sent out of Beijing even blocked the North City Gate.

The first snow of winter fell quietly, finally covering up the bloody smell in the sky over the capital for days.

The green bamboos are white and snowy, and there are birds looking for food jumping around on the branches.

Jiu'er smiled and took out the rice grains and sprinkled them on the ground. Nanny Zhang nagged her to slow down:

"Miss Jiu'er, slow down, don't fall."

Jiu'er agreed with a smile, and then yelled for Yurong to carry Ping An out to play in the snow.

Nanny Zhang frowned and started nagging even more:
"In such a cold day, why bother to take Ping An outside?"

But even Yurong didn't listen to her, and played with Jiu'er in the snow with Ping An in his arms.

As soon as Mei entered the courtyard and carried Nanny Mei out, Jiu'er hurriedly threw away the snow dumpling in her hand and followed.

Mei Xue added a long rabbit fur cloak to go out, and she didn't wear a hood, she only took a pair of light green hand warmers.

Li Jinzhi was also wearing a white cloak. He stood beside the carriage with a smile on his face, and helped Mei Gang put Madam Mei into the carriage before going up with Mei Xue.

Mei Xue covered Nanny Mei with the thick brocade quilt, and said softly to her:

"Auntie, Mrs. Mei's cemetery is a bit far from the city, and it will take us about an hour to get there."

After Mrs. Mei died of illness, she also entered the Qiao family's ancestral grave, but within a few years, the Yan family quietly had her tomb moved to the suburbs.

Whether Qiao Juncheng knew about this matter or not, Mei Xue didn't want to know.

Between heaven and earth, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

On the official road, a hunched figure was staggering forward, followed by two tolerance officers, occasionally cursing the prisoner impatiently.

The carriage of Shu Palace passed by slowly, the prisoner was stunned for a moment, then suddenly ran after the carriage with difficulty, shouting as he ran:
"Yi'er, save me, save me! I know I'm wrong, please save me!"

The guards of the Shu Palace stopped to stop the prisoner, and the two officials were afraid of getting into trouble, so they kicked the prisoner down on the snow and cursed:

"Things that don't know how to live or die still dare to cling to nobles at this time."

In the carriage, Mei Xue's face remained unchanged, she turned a deaf ear to everything outside.

She has no right to forgive Qiao Juncheng for the dead, even though old lady Yao's kind face still remains in her memory.

But Mrs. Yao's kindness, coupled with Qiao Juncheng's selfish indulgence, killed the Mei family.

What is the crime of those who died in vain?

Therefore, someone must pay the price for this, this is the way of heaven.

Mrs. Mei's cemetery is in a wild forest. After Mei Xue got off the carriage, she said to Mei Gang:
"Uncle Mei, you can catch up with those two officials later, give them some money, and make sure they make it to Lingnan alive."

As for the future, it depends on Qiao Juncheng's own fate.

Mei Gang agreed, and took the prepared joss paper money from the carriage.

Nanny Mei cried on the small and desolate grave, Li Jinzhi lit the candle and handed it to Mei Xue.

Inserting the incense candles into the snow, Mei Xue scattered the paper money into the burning pottery pots.

She never shed tears, but her eyes were slightly red.

There is still a long way to go, and it is far from the time when we can cry willfully.
