Qintiansi cell

Before Gong Jingchen received the urgent letter from his uncle, he was in the Qintian Division trying a bribery case that did not meet his rank.

The bribe amounted to thirty thousand silver, and the target of the bribe was him.

The suspect was half lying on the execution platform, his prison uniform was covered in blood, there was no good piece of flesh in the holes in the prison uniform, and two and a half long nails were driven into the soles of his feet by a hammer.

This was the crucifixion for which Commander Qin Tian changed his expression upon hearing this.

If the suspect dared to move even a little bit, the place where he was nailed would cause heart-wrenching pain. Even an iron man would not be able to withstand such inhumane punishment.

"Kill me! Kill me!" The suspect's legs twitched uncontrollably and he was tortured in the claustrophobic space.

"Gong Jingchen, you are stubborn and will go against the entire capital sooner or later."

"Ah!!!" Another long nail was driven into the suspect's thigh.

The suspect cursed the torturer, his father and mother, the heaven, the earth, the sun and the moon, wishing to crush Gong Jingchen who was giving orders outside the prison.

Feng Su threw away the hammer, walked outside, and said, "If we continue to punish people, they will die."

Gong Jingchen wrote the punishment letter and handed it to Feng Su, "If you dare to send him to see me, they don't want to spare his life."

Feng Su's heart tightened, and he took a look, "The seventh-rank official of the Shipping Tax Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs took advantage of his position to embezzle 3 taels of gold from the National Shipping Institute, and then bribed officials. His Majesty was furious when he learned that he was guilty. Forgive me, I order you to order the court to pay a fine of 9 taels of gold within half a month and deposit it into the national treasury."

"3 taels of gold?" That knocker obviously only brought [-] taels of silver!

"Master." Ming Lang approached and whispered a few words beside his master.

"You just returned to Beijing, why don't you have such fun?" Feng Su hesitated.

"As orders are followed, they feel that the money is stuck in their pockets and cannot be spent, so I will help them spend it."

"Let's go." Gong Jingchen washed his stained hands in the clear water dish, put on the crane cloak and left Qintian's cell without looking at the suspect.

"What should I do with that one there???" Feng Su asked.

"Ling Chi." The cold words flowed into the cell along with the wind and snow outside the door.

Feng Su shuddered again and looked at the knocking stick inside the cell with sympathy.

Mother house

It was almost dusk when Gong Jingchen arrived at the palace, and she heard her uncle and aunt arguing before she even entered.

He took back his hand and stood outside the door to listen.

"I told you to deal with Shen Weiyue at the beginning, you? You have to listen to your son!"

"It's okay now! If you go against Jiang Wanhe again and again, one day you'll feel better when she gets angry away!"

"Husband, how could I know that Shen Weiyue is so careless!"

"What's going on with Jiang Wanhe? Are you really not going tomorrow?"

"My son said he wouldn't take her with him. He insisted on keeping her in the house to guard her. He wanted to take that bitch away."

"They haven't had sex yet?" Gong Lianshan sighed and asked.

Mrs. Fu said softly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, "It's not that my son doesn't want to come back and stay in that cheap hoof yard every day!"

"As the mistress, you hold the power of the central government. You can't handle such a small thing in the inner house?"

"I want Jiang Wanhe to be pregnant with your precious son. You can't do this?!"

"It's not difficult to do either."

"I, I will do it now! I have a way!"

Gong Jingchen's face was calm, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Uncle, Jingchen is here."

Mrs. Fu came out at this time, smiled when she saw her nephew, and left quickly with Cicada.

Gong Jingchen entered the room, saluted and sat opposite her uncle.

"Jing'er, you're finally here. Uncle needs your help." "Uncle, just tell me."

Gong Jingchen took the hot tea handed over by Butler Ke, pinched the tea lid and gently removed the green tea soup.

"She is Shen's daughter. She has a deep mind and is unwilling to be under your brothers and sisters. She has been looking for trouble many times. Now she wants to follow He An to southern Hunan. Forget it before, I didn't know. Now that I know, I can't let her ruin it by messing around. he."

"You want me to kill her?" Gong Jingchen took a sip of hot tea, spit out the slightly astringent tea stem, and frowned slightly.

This tea does not have the fragrance of Ruixing Pavilion.

"That's not necessary. I just want to scare her and make her stay in the house. When I become the minister, I will send her away."

Gong Jingchen didn't want to drink anymore and put down the tea cup.

His half-lidded eyes opened, his eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled sarcastically, "It's easy to handle."

He summoned Minglang and whispered a few words in his ear. Minglang nodded and went out. He leaned back in his chair and looked at his uncle, "Today I handled a case about Sibo Court."

Gong Lianshan was stunned and asked, "What case?"

"It's not a big case. I've been fined a little. I hope my uncle will help me with the reminder. The fine will be paid as soon as possible so that I can leave Beijing."

Gong Lianshan served as the Minister of the Six Departments and was in charge of everything. It was natural for him to raise his hand to collect payment.

"Okay, I'll go help you as soon as possible."

Siboyuan has a large amount of money among the eight houses. It is in charge of all official ships, passenger ships, and merchant ships on the water. They are also the most active in taxation. He hardly needs to worry about it. He doesn't know how they owe money to his nephew.

Gong Jingchen thanked him and stood up to leave without staying any longer.

Gong Lianshan suddenly remembered that his nephew was ruthless, and raised his voice to remind him, "Be gentle, she is a girl after all."

The sound of "Okay" was buried in the wind and snow outside.

Shen Weiyue Yuan
On this side, Shen Weiyue had dinner, helped Xiaobao wash up, and then let her play on the bed and pack her luggage in the house, her heart filled with joy of leaving the palace.

"Dong dong dong."

"Miss Shen, the young master sent me a message saying that he will have dinner in his courtyard in the evening and will go to the Ministry of War afterwards, so that you don't have to wait for him."

The person speaking outside the house was the guard. When he heard Miss Shen's reply, he left in a hurry.

After Shen Weiyue put her daughter to bed, there was a knock on the door again. It was Wenyin, "Sister Shen, it's me, Wenyin."

Shen Weiyue put down the clothes in her hands, frowned and replied, "What's the matter? I'm about to fall asleep."

Hearing the indifferent voice inside, Wenyin became a little anxious and knocked on the door again, "Sister Shen, Wenyin knows that you are leaving tomorrow, and came to see if you need help?"

It was so obvious that Shen Weiyue certainly knew what Wenyin wanted to do, but she had no intention of opening the door to see her.

Shen Weiyue walked to the door, pretended to be sleepy, and yawned twice, "There's nothing to help me with. I've packed everything. Don't worry, sister, go back to bed quickly?"

Wen Yin's expression changed. Shen Weiyue told her that she would treat her as a sister like the young master in the future, but now she is crossing the river and destroying the bridge?
There is no such thing in the world!
Wenyin pushed the door and found that it was locked. She was angry, but she held it back and said, "Sister Shen, do you have many things? Do you need to put some in Wenyin's place?"

"Wenyin doesn't have much stuff, so she can still put down some clothes."

Shen Weiyue rolled her eyes inside and said in a dry voice, "What are you packing for? The carriage is already crowded for our family of three and there is no room for anyone else. Can you go next time?"

"Sister Shen? That's not what you said before!"

There was no reply inside.

"Shen Weiyue, you said you would take me with you!"

Only a shadow was seen, but she still didn't come back.

Wen Yin didn't know whether she blushed from being blown away or angry, but she never looked back. She only blamed herself for trusting a wolf-hearted person, so she kicked off and left with her shoulders in her arms.

When Shen Weiyue saw the person leaving, she smiled and went back to pack her luggage. When she was packing the jewelry box, she found that the wind pouring in from the window blew the bed curtain over.

Just as she leaned over to close the window, a hand reached out from the darkness. The next second she felt pain in her neck and fainted. (End of chapter)
