Chapter 689
Chapter 689

In the early morning of the next day, Nangong Xun threw a thick stack of papers in front of the ministers with a sullen face.

"Who will tell me what's going on with the Wei family?"

Nangong Xun seldom gets angry, or in other words, he is very good at hiding his emotions.

Like today, he didn't hide his emotions, either on purpose or because he couldn't bear it.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuchen also saw that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to show their air, so he took a step forward and said:

"Father, there are rumors in the capital that the Wei family has been corrupt and accepting bribes. I already knew about it yesterday, and I also secretly sent someone to investigate. It is true."

When the officials heard that the crown prince Nangong Yuchen took the lead in attacking the Wei family, they stepped forward to report one after another. Seeing this scene, Nangong Xun couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It really is the wall that is being pushed down by everyone, but how many of these people are clean?

"In this way, the Wei family deserved what they did!" Nangong Xun said coldly, and all the officials echoed.

Nangong Xun watched coldly and stopped talking.

Seeing that this matter should not be delayed any longer, Xie Chun took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence of the Wei family's crime is now solid, and it can be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial and sentencing."

With Xie Chun at the beginning, people will naturally follow suit.

Nangong Xun didn't want to let the Wei family go, so he said: "So, Xie Aiqing will handle the matter of the Wei family. Eunuch Qian will lead people to deal with the ransacking of the house."

Xie Chun's smiling face froze slightly, and he bowed his hands together: "Minister, take the order."

The Wei family matter was exposed so easily.

The Wei family, which was once prosperous for a while, fell in an instant.

At this time, Eunuch Qian shouted sharply: "If there is something to do, we will play, and if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"

Yan Youwei looked left and right before he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a recommendation for those who will accompany Prince Han to Haicheng."

Nangong Xun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his finger, stared at Yan Youwei and said, "I've already decided who to choose, and I will go with Xiao Shizi from Wuhou Mansion."

After Yan Youwei listened, his eyes darkened slightly.

This Marquis Wu Mansion has always been a neutral faction, and it might be troublesome for Shizi Xiao to accompany Nangong Han to Haicheng to resettle the wounded soldiers.

However, as long as they are smart, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes. If they want to do something, then let them go and never return!
After finishing this matter, Eunuch Qian shouted again: "If there is something to do, let's play, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court!"

All the officials stopped talking now, and quietly sent the emperor away.

Afterwards, Xie Chun took people to the Wei Mansion to arrest the people in the mansion.

Eunuch Qian followed closely behind and led people to search the property of the Wei Mansion.

This inspection surprised Eunuch Qian.

"Wei Mansion is really bold!" Eunuch Qian stood in a basement of Wei Mansion, looking at the mountains of gold and silver treasures inside, he was speechless.

Eunuch Qian walked forward, picked up an ingot of silver, and saw that the imprint of official silver was still printed on the bottom, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It is a great joy for the Wei family to have such a catastrophe.

"Come here, lightly collect the property, and then confiscate it and put it in the treasury!" As soon as Eunuch Qian spoke, the guards following him immediately filed in and quickly counted.

At the same time, when Xie Chun brought the people of Wei's mansion to arrest, something interesting happened in his mansion.

Mrs. Liu has always liked elegance, especially in summer, she must eat in the gazebo by the lake.

It's summer, and the lotus in the lake is competing to bloom. Looking up, the green is dotted with a few pink, white, light purple, light yellow... It is particularly eye-catching.

Mrs. Liu was sitting in the gazebo, enjoying the scenery of the lake while having breakfast.

There was a scent of incense at the end of the nose, which felt a little strange, but he didn't care.

All the maids in the mansion wear different sachets, so the scents are naturally different.

Thinking so, Liu put down her chopsticks, took a few sips of tea from the side, and then ordered someone to clean up the table.

"Nurse, accompany me for a walk by the lake." After eating, Mrs. Liu liked to take a walk around the small lake in the mansion, and everyone in the mansion knew about it.

Nanny Xu followed with a smile, chatting casually with Mrs. Liu, which was quite relaxing.

However, as time went by, Liu felt her body began to heat up and sweat.

She didn't think much about it, she just thought it was because of the hot weather, and said, "Nurse, I feel a little hot, did you bring my fan?"

Madam Xu just watched the sun rise, the weather is quite cool, why does Madam feel hot?

"Ma'am, this old slave will go back to the house and bring it for you." Madam Xu turned and left after finishing speaking.

I thought I would meet maids on the road and order them to go back to get them, but I didn't expect to meet a single person along the way.

Nanny Xu resented secretly, and spat: "A bunch of lazy hoofs, it's only early in the morning, so they're just running away!"

It was a little far from the lakeside to the courtyard where Mrs. Liu lived, and it took about a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.

During this period, Mrs. Liu found a rockery to enjoy the shade...

The originally quiet and eerie Xie Mansion gradually became lively.

Many servants rubbed their eyes in a daze, not knowing what was wrong with them, but they continued to do what they should do.

Guo Zhilan, who had been imprisoned for a few days, took Xia Lian for a walk in the back garden while the gatekeeper was away.

"That bitch of the Liu family actually framed me, it's too much, you better not be caught by me, otherwise, I will make her never recover!" Guo Zhilan spat viciously.

Xia Lian looked around, and persuaded in a low voice: "Fifth Yiniang, let's talk about this in the room, and restrain yourself outside, so as not to be heard by the madam, and you will be punished again."

Guo Zhilan snorted coldly, and retorted, she knew that Xia Lian said this for her own good.

So, take a quiet walk in the backyard.

Not long after, Guo Zhilan walked to a rockery, and heard the voice of a maid on the other side.

"Oh my god, I was scared to death! Tell me, will we be silenced by the madam after seeing that scene?"

"This... It's not just us who saw it. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for Madam to silence her."

Guo Zhilan was confused, so she went around to the other side of the rockery, blocking the way of the two maids.

"What did you just say?" Guo Zhilan was curious, especially about Liu Shi.

She caused her to be grounded, how could she let go of the opportunity that might hit her.

The two servant girls looked at each other, each of them lowered their heads with ugly expressions, and remained silent.

Guo Zhilan was not in a hurry, walked around the two maidservants, and said, "Raise your head."

The two maids who had been hanging their heads in silence trembled for a moment, then raised their heads tremblingly, and the maid who was a little more out of shape said, "Fifth Yiniang, we...we don't know anything."

The ordinary-looking maid also agreed: "Yes, we don't know anything."

Hearing what the two said, Guo Zhilan sneered: "Tell me what you saw just now, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to sell you to Hualou."

When they heard that they were going to be sold to Hualou, the two maids wept with mournful faces, tears streaming down their faces.

"Fifth Yiniang, let's talk, let's talk about everything, don't sell us to Hualou..." The outstanding maid said eagerly: "Madam is at the corridor in the backyard... Many people in the house have seen it."
