Chapter 67

"Ahhhh, Chen Jin, you dare to hit me." Chen Zi screamed, but he couldn't get An Ning's control at all. An Ping protected Shen Jin's side and helped her sit back on the chair.

Chen Jin looked at Chen Zi and asked, "Why don't I dare? Haven't I already beat him?"

"Chen Jin, you..." Chen Zi was about to get angry, "You just relied on marrying Yongning Bo. At the time in Prince Rui's Mansion, you were just a dog following me."

Princess Rui frowned and said, "Chen Zi, do you want me to invite a nanny to Zheng Mansion to educate you?"

Chen Zi's body stiffened, and Chen Jin was not angry at all and said, "Well, I relied on marrying Uncle Yongning, so what? And second sister, are you crazy? You and I are both the concubine daughter of the father and the mother is the concubine, so where is there a difference between high and low?"

"What the girl Jin said," Princess Rui said, "If you really want to distinguish between high and low, girl Jin will be with me."

Princess Rui has been accumulating power for a long time. Chen Zi dared to speak to Chen Jin like that, but did not dare to treat Princess Rui. Chen Jin sat next to Princess Rui and said with a gentle voice, "Don't be angry, Mother, my second sister was also a good person in the mansion at the time. Why did she become like this after marrying the Zheng family for such a short time?"

At the end of the story, Chen Jin was already full of doubts, "And the rules of the second sister were taught by the nanny in the palace. That nanny was specially given by the mother's mother to ask the emperor and grandmother, why..."

Princess Rui said, "Oranges grow in Huainan and are oranges, and those grow in Huainan and are tangerines, that's all."

The two of them asked and answered questions and had already stripped the responsibility of the Rui Prince's Mansion. With the Empress Dowager as the banner, no one dared to say that the rules of the Rui Prince's Mansion were poor. Chen Zi's current situation was just affected by the Zheng family. Mrs. Zheng was holding blood in her mouth. She didn't dare to speak at all, so as not to be even more embarrassed. Listening to Princess Rui and Shen Jin's words, she could no longer help spit out blood and two teeth. The Zheng family's Shuxiang family, the most proud of was the rules and style in the mansion. Now even the only remaining honors have been pulled down.

Princess Rui said, "Although the second girl is married, she came out of the mansion after all, so I can't ignore it. She's 20 strokes of hand." After that, she looked at Princess Ruyang, "I still have to borrow the ruler from Ruyang's mansion."

Princess Ruyang secretly hated Chen Zi for not being able to do anything, so she naturally didn't care about her and said, "I'm just telling her, so I'll take the ruler."

Chen Zi shook her head vigorously, "Mother, you can't treat me like this." If she was beaten with a ruler in Princess Ruyang's mansion today, I'm afraid no one would invite her to visit again in the future. Moreover, the Zheng family... Thinking of Mrs. Zheng's appearance, Chen Zi felt cold in her heart, "You can't treat me like this. I want to find my father, and my father will not allow you to treat me like this."

Idiot, Princess Ruyang looked at Chen Zi, not to mention that King Rui was not here at all at this time, even if King Rui was there, she would not care about Chen Zi for her sake.

Soon a maid brought the ruler, and Princess Rui said, "Cuixi, go."

"Yes." Cui Xi took the ruler with both hands, walked to Chen Zi and said, "Second Princess, I have offended you."

"No...you dare, I want to kill you..." Chen Zi's voice became even more sharp and terrified.

An Ning sent Chen Zi's right hand out. Chen Zi clenched his hand tightly, but I don't know where An Ning pinched it. Chen Zi just felt sour and could no longer hold his fist. Cui Xi held the ruler and pulled it into the palm of Chen Zi's palm. "Ah..." Chen Zi's scream was very harsh. Because of what happened just now, all the people who watched the flowers in the plum garden came over. At this time, Chen Zi's scream focused his eyes on her. I'm afraid that even the people outside the yard could hear it. Looking at the scene in front of him, everyone didn't say anything.

Princess Rui looked at Mrs. Zheng, "I punished Chen Zi, but... why did my good daughter become like this when she got to the Zheng family?"

The Zheng family is famous but has no real power. Even if some people think that the Zheng family is innocent, they will not talk too much at this time. They will only think that if they marry a daughter-in-law like Chen Zi, they can only blame Mrs. Zheng for being unlucky.

Princess Rui said, "I just hope to see you again next time, she will be the same as before."

Mrs. Zheng's dress was covered with blood from her, and there were two teeth on the ground, her cheeks were swollen and even her hair was scattered. At this time, she looked particularly embarrassed, but the woman had no sympathy. After receiving the orders of Princess Rui, Princess Ruyang had just asked them to listen to Princess Rui's words and slapped Mrs. Zheng in the face.

Chen Zi stood outside the pavilion, looking at everything in front of him, but thought in his heart that if Uncle Yongning was not here, the matter would have become like this. If Uncle Yongning was... Looking at Princess Ru Yang sitting aside to watch the show, Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chenyang standing next to him, I am afraid these three would not be spared.

After beating Mrs. Zheng and Shen Zi, Princess Rui stood up and said, "It's my fault that I disturbed Ru Yang's interest today. I'll invite Ru Yang to my house another day and hold a banquet to entertain Ru Yang."

Princess Ruyang said, "It's Ruyang's incomprehensible hospitality."

Princess Rui smiled, glanced around Mrs. Zheng and Shen Zi, and said, "Ru Yang is intent. I will leave with my two daughters first, so I won't delay everyone having fun."

Chen Qi and Shen Jin both followed Princess Rui. Princess Ruyang felt so angry that she had to laugh, and took her two sisters to personally send Princess Rui away.

After returning to Prince Rui's Mansion, Princess Rui asked Chen Qi and Shen Jin to go back and rest first. She would always talk to Prince Rui today.

Concubine Chen and Madam Zhao were both waiting for Chen Jin in the yard. Because she didn't expect to come back so early, she felt relieved when Chen Jin was fine. Madam Zhao said, "I'll go and see the kitchen. Is the candy steamed cheese that my wife likes ready? If it's ready, then the lady will put it on first. Do you have anything to use at noon?"

"I want to eat noodles." Chen Jin said, "I want beef."

"Okay." Madam Zhao responded and went down to get busy.

Chen Jin looked at Anping and An Ning and said, "You two are tired today, so let's go down and have a rest."

Anping and An Ning responded respectfully, then went down to change their clothes and wash them. Concubine Chen poured a bowl of red date soup for Chen Jin, and then asked, "But what happened?"

"Nothing happened, right?" Chen Jin thought for a while and said, holding the warm red date soup in both hands and taking a sip. "It was just that the mother of the mother asked someone to hold Mrs. Zheng's mouth and then hit Chen Zi with a ruler."

In Shen Jin's words, no matter what kind of thing it was, it was not ordinary. Just as everyone was anxious about Yongning Bo's disappearance, only Chen Jin always felt that Yongning Bo would come back safely because he agreed.

Concubine Chen frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"It's a bit troublesome." Chen Jin sipped the red date soup in a small sip. "It was Chen Zi who cried and told her that she had not been doing well in Zheng's mansion. Her mother asked someone to tell her that Mrs. Zheng came and slapped her mouth for twenty times to warn her. Then Chen Zi said some bad things. Her mother said that she became unruly after she got married into Zheng's mansion, so she asked someone to hold her hands and slapped her mouth for twenty times."

Concubine Chen took a breath of air conditioning, Chen Jin looked at Concubine Chen and said, "If your mother is curious, wait until Anping comes, and let her say he will listen to her with her mother."

"Yeah." Chen Fangxian said, "How hungry? Do you want to use some more pastries?"

Chen Jin thought for a while and nodded, "I'm a little sleepy and a little hungry."

"Let's go to bed after lunch." Concubine Chen reached out and touched Chen Jin's hand, and said when she saw that it was already warm.

Chen Jin nodded.

In the Fujian Central Mansion, Xi Yunjing said, "Now your wife is pregnant. If you have a place like the court, you should not go there."

Chu Xiuming was wearing an official uniform and was tidying up his sleeves and said, "It seems that if I don't go, the orders are not what I gave. Besides, it's not about letting my wife go to that kind of place."

Xi Yunjing reached out and took the imperial edict and handed it to Chu Xiuming and said, "That's right. Besides, killing those people is also accumulating virtue."

Chu Xiuming held the imperial edict, narrowed his eyes and said, "You go to the boat to wait for me."

Xi Yunjing stretched and said, "Okay, it's almost over."

Chu Xiuming nodded and walked out of the house. He spent a long time to lie with these people, secretly contacted the old subordinates of the Chu family, sent people to the military camp, and collected all kinds of evidence of crimes... and arranged it step by step for today.

At this time, the Dharma field was full of people, and many onlookers were blocked by the soldiers. They were not only excited but also as if they couldn't believe it. The moment they saw Chu Xiuming, the people who were still whispering to each other stopped and looked at Chu Xiuming at the same time.

Chu Xiuming walked onto the temporary wooden platform and spoke, "Take a prisoner."

The executioners were all soldiers. After Chu Xiuming's words came to a group of soldiers escorting five people, making them kneel on the ground facing the people. The one in the middle was Lord Liang. Lord Liang's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing Chu Xiuming's expression, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite off his flesh. Chu Xiuming's face was serious, his voice was low, and his hand shook, spreading the imperial edict, and said, "Your Majesty sent me to get rid of you." The identities and crimes of these five people were expressed one by one. When he said the last sentence, Chu Xiuming held the imperial edict tightly, "You are the officials of one side, and you should benefit the people, but you have no trust in the people, and you have done the slaughter of the people, and you have done the task of massacring the people and taking military merits and killing them."

The last word fell, and the executioner waved the sword in his hand fiercely. The man who was still showing off his might a few days ago had his head hit the ground and blood splashed out.

"Oh my God..."

"Dad, someone finally avenged you..."

After the first cheer came from the crowd, there were screams of crying, and even the soldiers were moved.

Chu Xiuming asked someone to drag the body down and pile it aside, and ten more people were brought up. This time Chu Xiuming did not speak, but the people around him read the identities of these people, all of whom were the families of the criminal officials, Liang Yi shouted, "Chu Xiuming, you are ungrateful..."

"Liang Yi, in the 19th year of Yongqi, in order to seize the family heirloom of the Wang family, he framed and killed 37 members of the Wang family. In the 20th year of Yongqi..." Chu Xiuming said all the things Liang Yi did, and sometimes even disagreements, Liang Yi killed the whole family. He really treated human life as a mustard.

"Kill." The colleague who fell from Chu Xiuming's words, the executioner's knife also fell.

These officials are rich, with wives and concubines, and countless descendants. All men over ten years old were taken to the court today. When these people were cut off, the executioner also went down and changed a group of new executioners to come. All the people seemed tireless. Except for the quietness when they shouted out the identities of these people, they cheered for the rest of the time, and even shouted the name of Yongning Bo.

The ones brought up were obviously generals in the army. They were also colluding with Lord Liang and others to deceive their superiors and subordinates and commit heinous crimes. These people shouted injustice. When Chu Xiuming heard this, the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes was even more serious and said, "My Chu family has started his military achievements, but I, Chu Xiuming, dares to swear to the sky. The people they kill are all people who should be killed. The places they point to are all places where swords and swords point to are all places where they are slaughtered. The troops they lead are worthy of their attacks and will never be contaminated by the blood of the innocent people of our Tianqi Dynasty. Do you dare?"

Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes and covered his disappointment, "I also hope that I am wronged you. You are crying for justice at this time. What about those innocent people who were killed? Aren't they even more wronged? Kill them."

The bodies were piled up together. In the end, the people found that the people who were pressed up had become people they knew. They looked at each other for a moment. Some people who knew the truth were particularly relieved and shouted, "Kill! Kill these ungrateful wolves."

"What's going on?" someone asked in a low voice.

The crying man was covered with tears and wrinkles on his face, as if he had experienced all the hardships and vicissitudes. "These beasts are just they colluding with pirates! They were them. They guided the animals and found the granddaughter who hid me in the mountains and found the disaster... Just because my granddaughter didn't want to marry that beast, he led people to kill the people in the village of my granddaughter... the beast..."

"No wonder...no wonder the villages that were harmed by those pirates have a grudge against these people..."

Many people started crying, but some of them were true or false, and many things were placed on these people, but these people were not wronged. They had done all such things.

"I was forced. If I don't lead the way, there will be someone else who will lead the way... but they will kill me..."

Chu Xiuming felt very uncomfortable. He was actually hesitating about whether to kill or not. They were guilty, but the biggest sin was on these Fujian officials, but the atmosphere could not rise. The crimes of these people were read out one by one. Dozens of those who took the initiative to collude with the pirates were beheaded and displayed in public like their predecessors. The remaining people were taken up. Chu Xiuming did not kill them again. He just said, "Your death penalty is exempted, but the crime of living cannot be escaped. I set off immediately to suppress the enemy. If I want to, go with me. Killing ten enemy people can be exempted from punishment. If I don't want to go, I will be exiled for thousands of miles according to the original criminal law."

After saying that, Chu Xiuming stopped looking at these people, and just said, "You go and register for them. If you want, you can distribute weapons and armor. If you don't want to go, you can be imprisoned first." After saying that, he took the people away directly.

Chu Xiuming's decisive behavior naturally made many people angry, but some people were inevitably unstable, so he took people to suppress the enemy with this bloody nature. As long as he won the battle, the rest would be arranged.

The ship and the soldiers were ready. Chu Xiuming changed his official uniform and stood on the bow of the ship in silver armor. Xi Yunjing, who was also wearing armor, stood beside Chu Xiuming and said, "This battle must be won."

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming responded, "I'll leave it to you at that time."

Xi Yunjing let out a breath slowly and suddenly smiled, "If my grandfather saw my current appearance, he would definitely not be able to recognize me."

"You should start a family." Chu Xiuming said.

Xi Yunjing reached out and covered her eyes and said, "Yes, you can't let the Xi family break up when you come to me, but how many people still remember the Xi family now?"

Chu Xiuming said with a sorrow in his heart, "We remember it, many people remember it."

Xi Yunjing took a breath, "Then go back and ask your brother and sister to help me pay attention."

Chu Xiuming thought of Chen Jin and said, "Okay."

Chen Xuan thought it would take a lot of effort to find Chu Xiuming, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the middle of Fujian, someone came over. It was Chu Xiuming who sent someone to wait for him at the city gate. However, Chen Xuan was unfortunately here and Chu Xiuming missed it one after another.

After learning about Chu Xiuming's news in a moment, Chen Xuan felt a little untrue. After listening to the guard's report, Chen Xuan was stunned. He knew that his brother-in-law was very powerful, but he did not expect that he was so powerful. "What if the news reaches Beijing?"

"The general said it was okay." The guard came from the border town and said, "The evidence is conclusive. At that time, he took the heads of the pirates and got them into Jingguan, and asked the painter to draw them and send them to the capital to His Majesty. This time, he brought a lot of coarse salt on the ship."

Even if Chen Xuan was ignorant, he felt that Emperor Cheng would not be happy to receive this gift, unless Chu Xiuming's head was placed on the top of this Jingguan, and coarse salt. Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment before realizing what the coarse salt was used for.

Chen Xuan didn't dare to say this, but just asked, "I still bring your general's wife's letters here."

"The general said that he would return from ten days to five days. Just let the prince wait here with peace of mind." The guard said, "If the prince is fine, he will help regulate the income from the search of the house and count how many households there are in central Fujian now, how many people each household, and how many households are about the property."

Looking at Chen Xuan's face, the guard said, "This is what the general said."

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother-in-law really respects me."

The guard smiled and said, "The general said he was eager to return home, so he asked the prince to help more."
