The flowering period works

Chapter 858: Even Crying for Injustice Works, What Else Do Y

    

bones on the road""Funiu'er, we've arrived in Kyoto!"Old Li was overjoyed, bouncing her granddaughter in her arms. "We won't have to be afraid of the ruffians anymore!"Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying also...Some officials watched the scene with amusement, some were surprised, some feared being implicated, but most were confused.

Wen Yu Shi was half a member of the Li family, he stepped forward to plead first, followed by Li La Er. There was no need to guess, these defendants must have offended the Li family.

But why Li Jia was provoked, no one knew.

And it's such a large-scale counterattack, the Li family must be furious!

But among the crowd, there were also discerning individuals, namely the six officials who knelt on the ground and defended themselves.

They know best what they did to the Li family.

It was because of Li Jia Yi's case of assaulting someone in the street that they submitted a petition, wanting to punish Li Jia Yi as soon as possible.

Even if beheading is not possible, a sentence of twenty years of hard labor should be given.

This is a heavy blow to the Li family!

As a result, their petition went up like a stone sinking into the sea. The emperor didn't respond at all.

No, the Emperor reacted, otherwise the Li family wouldn't have been able to find them so precisely...

It must be the Emperor who gave the imperial edict to the Li family!

During this period of silence from the Li family, they had been busy collecting evidence and information about their crimes!

The more they thought about it, the more panicked they became, and their cries of innocence grew louder and louder...

In contrast, people like Wen Yu and Shi kept their heads bowed in silence after finishing their memorials, waiting quietly without participating in the commotion or arguments.

Clearly distinguished!

The rest of the officials were silent, ceasing their discussion, leaving only a few defendants like clowns jumping around…

The Emperor glanced at Yi, the chief steward, and Yi immediately shouted, "Silence!"

A few who cried foul finally realized they were losing, but it was too late.

The emperor directly spoke, “Is there any use in crying injustice if the Dali Temple exists Imprison the officials involved and send them to the Dali Temple. Order them to conduct a thorough investigation and report back at any time!”

The Dali Temple Minister hurried out to greet him, but his heart felt like he had eaten bitter melon—it was utterly sour.

This case appears ordinary, but behind it lies a power struggle between the Li family and the forces backing these six individuals.

When gods fight, this ordinary person caught in the middle gets dragged into it again!

But before he could think further, the Emperor asked again, “How is the case of the Wu family from Jiangning Houfu progressing Did the Wu family truly seize farmland and forcefully abduct women”

The Dali Temple Minister shivered upon hearing this, and immediately knelt down.

Of course the investigation turned up results, after all there was ample evidence.

The Wu family, relying on having the emperor as their son-in-law, didn't bother to conceal anything...

But the emperor remained silent. There was also a queen in the palace who was desperately trying to protect her family's interests. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to take the initiative to present his case!

He quickly analyzed the emperor's tone again, confirming that there was no regret or softening of his heart. He then hurriedly explained the case clearly.

The emperor snorted coldly and said, “The Wu family has betrayed the imperial grace and oppressed the people. The evidence is irrefutable. All members of the clan, aged ten and above, will be beheaded, and those under ten will be sold into slavery. Next year……”

He hesitated for a moment, then added, “Ask about the execution next autumn.”

The courtiers were somewhat surprised, after all, the Empress was still in the palace and the Emperor showed no intention of deposing her. They thought that at most, the Wu family would be sent back to their ancestral home to farm.

To my surprise, the Emperor truly intends to exterminate the Wu family!

I'm afraid the Wu family's crime is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface...

Though they racked their brains, no one dared to ask the Emperor.

Soon, the Emperor waved his sleeve and dismissed the court.

As the six unfortunate souls were escorted away by the guards, the court officials watched with mixed feelings, whispering and discussing among themselves as they walked.

"Has the Li family gone crazy How did they sue so many people at once"

"Who knows, how did they offend the Li family The Li family is usually not so easily provoked."

“Don’t worry about the reasons for now, just look at the power of the Li family. In just a few years, the Li family has gathered so many helpers Today, they are attacking from all six directions!”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm surprised about this too. The Li family was so quiet, they never expected to have such a large influence."

Wen Yu Shi and Li Lao Er walked in the front, completely ignoring the discussions behind them.

Those who dared to harm the Li family should have expected this outcome.

After all, the most important thing for the Li family is "reciprocity"!

Wen Yu Shi rubbed his sour eyes and smiled, “Tonight I can finally get a good night’s sleep. I stayed up half the night last night and came to court this morning. I’m so tired, even standing up I could fall asleep!”

"Me too," Li Lao'er yawned, "Head back to Suijintan in the afternoon. Lao Si and Dayong will be there. Let's have a few drinks and then get a good night's sleep."

Recently, they really put in a lot of effort to investigate these six people. They and Li Zhensheng were quite dedicated.

Thankfully, I managed to take down all six of them today.

All hard work and effort have paid off!

Mr. Wen waved his hand and said, "Wait a few more days. When the Hailan army arrives in Kyoto and brings back Jia Yi, we can drink again."

That reminds Li Lao'er, he took a look at the sky and quickly said: "I'll go first, we can talk about it at home tonight."

Then he left hurriedly.

Mr. Wen shook his head enviously; he didn't have the same freedom as Old Li Er, to just walk away whenever he wanted.

He still had to go back to the yamen to work, but he could slip out at lunchtime to buy some little trinkets.

My precious little girl at home is throwing a tantrum because I've been so busy lately and haven't had much time to play with her. She won't even let me hold her anymore...

The new capital city was abuzz because six officials had fallen from power in court. There was a lot of talk and discussion everywhere about it.

But as nightfall descended, everything reluctantly returned to stillness.

In the prison of the Jingzhao Prefecture, four jailers sat together drinking tea and chatting.

One said, "Our leader is really getting old. He only drank a few bowls of mutton soup at night and his stomach got upset!"

"Haha," another inmate chuckled quietly, "Don't even get me started. Our boss walks like jelly! He almost hit his head when we went out."

He goes back and doesn't drink the medicine, he probably won't make it!

"It's a pity about that mutton soup. Xian Ke Lai's skills are just superb, the broth is milky white, and neither the offal nor the mutton has any gamey smell. Add a few layers of scallion pancakes, it's simply a match made in heaven!"

The first to speak was a gaunt jailer, his face slick with lust, as if still savoring the taste.

The onlookers laughed with glee and asked the thin jailer, "You didn't come to work for a few days and went back home. You've suffered the consequences."

The dishes made with lily bulbs are delicious. We’ve been eating them for several days now, and every meal has been fragrant.

The braised pork belly is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sweet and sour fish is mouthwatering, but the most fragrant dish is the red-braised pork. A spoonful poured over white rice is priceless.

"Oh my, look at my waist, I've gained a whole circle!"

The emaciated jailer feigned going to pinch his waist, and the two of them couldn't help but laugh.

After chatting for a while, it was time for the rounds. Two jailers just walked around the cell randomly.

When he returned, a jailer said to the thin jailer, "Fùguì'ér, you just came back today. Why don't you ask around"

"How did you put that thief in General Xiao Li's room"

That wiry jailer, seeing the riches' son hurriedly and fearfully said: "I just saw that room was empty, so I threw him in. But it's just for one night, nothing should happen, right" nothing will happen to your son. Jiahuan loves sticky foods the most, but he's sensible and doesn't say much.""He couldn't remember how many times his brothers had eaten the rice cakes sold in Luo'a...
