Chapter 844: Hearts Turn to Goodness, Hearts Turn Towards th

nlikely that someone would create trouble by, for example, spreading rumors about a girl's birthmarks, slandering her reputation, and forcing her into marriage.No females allowed near the men's bath.N..."Yes, I saw it too."

An old jailer chuckled and instructed everyone, “We take people’s money to alleviate their troubles. Now we have one more rule: since we are eating people's food, we owe them a favor. So you all understand what I mean.”

Everyone understood and nodded in agreement.

In a short while, several new prisoners were brought in and bound up. They were subjected to the customary thirty lashes as a deterrent. However, when passing by the innermost cell, they just skipped it...

The jailers didn't know that in the palace within Xin Du, there was another person who felt the same way about being indebted to others.

General Yi looked at the two baskets of fresh fruit before him.

The pears are a bright yellow, the fruits a brilliant red, the oranges large and round, and there are even a few sweet and tempting peaches...

He couldn't help but chuckle and asked the little eunuch, "Was this sent over by Suijin Beach"

The little eunuch pinched the silver note in his sleeve and smiled obsequiously, replying: "Yes, Manager. Master Li delivered it personally to the palace gate."

"Master said, the County Mistress has missed you greatly and hasn't come to pick fruit in a long time, so she personally picked two baskets..."

As he spoke, the little eunuch couldn't help but swallow nervously.

I have to say, the fruit Li family grows is really excellent.

Although fruits from the south were often sent to the palace, they never tasted as fresh and sweet as those from Li's family.

Yi Zongguan casually shoved an orange into the little eunuch's hand, laughing and scolding, "Scram, keep watch outside. I'll present a dish to the Emperor."

The little eunuch replied, scurrying out in a hurry.

Yi Zongtang thought for a moment, took two baskets of fruit to the tea room, then washed two snow pears by hand, cut them into pieces and arranged them on a plate, and sent them to the study.

The Emperor was massaging his temples, quite agitated.

Just now, someone from Kunning Palace came to report that the Empress tried to commit suicide by hitting the wall but was saved.

If it weren't for the former dynasty, he would have really wanted to change his empress immediately!

At this time, General Yi brought up a fruit platter.

He casually picked up a toothpick, skewered a piece of pear and popped it into his mouth. The sweet and juicy flavor immediately eased the throbbing pain in his head.

After eating three pieces in a row, the emperor finally stopped and asked, “Were these sent by Suijintang”

Yi Zongguan quickly smiled and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the county princess saw that you haven't had anyone pick fruit for a long time, fearing that you would forget when you were busy, so she personally picked two baskets to send over."

"The old servant sees that this pear is moist and refreshing, eating it at this time is just right, so I cut a plate for you."

The Emperor nodded, sighing helplessly: "To see the Li and Wu families at each other's throats like this, and the Empress threatening to kill herself… truly, there is no peace."

"The Wu family is already in jail, and that Li family kid actually killed Wu Yan again, making up some excuse about being drunk. Who doesn't see through his act He's just trying to stir up trouble!"

Yi Zongtang stepped forward, bowed deeply to pour tea for the Emperor, and said with a smile, “Your Majesty is right, that Li lad is indeed impetuous.”

"But come to think of it, he's still too young. When this old slave was his age, I often fought with the little eunuchs. But all things considered, this old slave doesn't have the abilities of Li Jia's son.

It is said that he was born with divine power. In just a few years since joining the Hailan Army, he has killed over three or four hundred pirates. General Tang loves him like his own son!

This time, General Tang's trip to the capital was also to give this kid credit.

"If General Tang knew that this kid had only been back for a few days and was already causing trouble, he would be furious!"

The Emperor, intrigued, asked, "I've seen the strength of the fourth son of the Li family. This boy must be the son of Lord Zhongshan, having inherited such skill"

"Indeed, Your Majesty," Easy General chimed in. "I heard that the Li family ancestors weren't capable of this either."

For some reason, starting from General Li Si, each generation has produced someone born with incredible strength.

And both General Li Si and the young General Jia Yi, they all joined the army to fight for their country.

"In that case, the Emperor is truly blessed by heaven, with his martial prowess destined to bring great prosperity. It is only fitting that such a formidable general appears in this era!"

The Emperor was soothed and his expression blossomed. All traces of annoyance vanished as he smiled and said, "This Northern Expeditionary Army has also made great contributions. Li Lao Si is the most capable general under his cousin's command, and he certainly deserves another reward."

"It's all thanks to the Emperor's grace." Yi, the head steward, picked up a silver toothpick and threaded a piece of snow pear onto it, offering it to the Emperor. He sighed with emotion: "Young General Jia Yi is also a pity. If he hadn't made mistakes, he would have been bestowed honors along with General Li Si at that time. How envious others would be!"

Just as the Emperor was about to nod, his eyes suddenly flashed.

He then put down his toothpick, a look of sudden understanding on his face. He said, "No wonder, no wonder this kid would kill someone in the street! Venting for the family is fake, it's... that's true!"

Emperor seemed not to have understood, and for the first time, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. This sight caused the Emperor to burst into laughter once again.

"Alright, you old geezer, stop pretending! You think I don't know what you're doing You're just trying to sweet talk me!"

Yi Zongtang quickly smiled and flattered, bowing in reply: "Your Majesty is wise. I just didn't think of it at this moment, but I will surely think of it later. This old slave has just said a few unnecessary words!"

"Speaking of which, the Li family is truly loyal to the Emperor. They'd even give him an extra bite if they had another fruit! This old servant has seen it with his own eyes and can't help but lean towards the Li family a bit."

"After all, the Emperor is my heaven, whoever treats the Emperor well, I will treat them well!"

As he spoke, he knelt down.

The Emperor's heart ached with a mixture of warmth and sadness as he listened.

From a young age, besides his cousin, it was this old eunuch who had always been by his side, never leaving him.

"Alright, get up quickly. I've had enough of your acting. You're using this as an opportunity to put on a show." The Emperor raised his hand, signaling Yi the Head Steward to rise.

He thought for a moment and said, “Tell the magistrate that we should hold them first and not interrogate them. Wait for the Hailan Army to arrive in Xindu before making any further decisions.”

Yi Zongguan carefully glanced at the documents on the table, several of which were petitions to deal with Li Jia's son.

He cautiously inquired, "Your Majesty, what do you think those in court will say when they hear…"

The Emperor snorted, tossing a few memorials into Yi the Steward's arms, and said, "Deliver these memorials to the Li family and have them figure out how to suppress these upstarts!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yi Tongguan took the paper and swiftly retreated.

Of course, Yi Zongtang couldn't go to the palace himself to deliver things, so Feng Gonggong went on this trip again.

Feng Gonggong was quite happy to run errands.

Because, the Lee family's rewards are very generous!

More importantly, the Li family never looked down on him as a half-disabled person. Every time they talked to him, they were like relatives, warm and friendly.

Unlike other families, when they looked at him, their faces were full of smiles. The moment they turned away, they seemed to want to spit him out in disgust, as if he were some kind of filth...

A kind heart faces the sun.

The Li family was, in his eunuch life, a rare well of goodness and sunshine...

When leaving the palace, I saw a group of people walking ahead from afar, but Fenggong didn't pay attention.

But he didn't know that this group of people were also heading to the Li family.

But he went to the relief agency, while they went to Broken Gold Beach.

In Li's courtyard, Mrs. Wen was helping Old Madam Li sort through the household fabrics and listening to the old woman's chatter, just to prevent her from becoming too restless.

"Here, I've got this azure fabric," Old Mrs. Li said, pulling out a piece. "We should make Jia Yi a long robe from it."

"In a few days he came out, definitely wanting to follow Jiārén and the others into town. But it wouldn't do for him to dress like a wandering assassin again."

Mrs. Wen couldn't help but laugh, "Sister-in-law, let's change the fabric. This sapphire blue suits Li Ge'er's fair complexion better."

"Jia Yi tanned black from the sun at the beach, wearing azure blue would make him look even darker..." praise: "Indeed, it's a fine blade!""Well then, I won't keep the head steward busy cleaning up. Farewell!" Ye Shan sheathed his dagger, tugged on his reins and rode through the crowd, returning to hi...
