Chapter 3024 Rewards and Punishments【3】
"What did you say!"
As soon as these words came out, all the wives of the reclusive wealthy families were stunned. Many people did not believe it. They dragged Yuan Zhi and asked: "False, you think we are annoying, so you made up lies to deceive us, right?!"
Yuan Zhi only found it ridiculous: "Making up lies to deceive you? You guys think of yourself too seriously... Master Tong, Master Weng and others were arrested by His Majesty's personal order. They are already in prison. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
and…
"You, a wealthy and reclusive family, don't understand. Do you really think that His Majesty doesn't know what you have done to help Wei Qi?"
The married family went crazy and stuffed their so-called daughters, granddaughters, and nephews into various mansions. They dared to do this because they had Wei Qi's permission, and they promised Wei Qi that they would help monitor each mansion.
Mrs. Weng didn't listen to him. She only pulled Mrs. Tong and her daughter and shouted at Yuan Zhi: "If you don't believe me, you must be lying to us. We want to meet the Holy Spirit and see His Majesty!"
"You really don't eat the toast but drink it as a penalty." Yuan Zhi was completely angry and immediately called the soldiers: "Tie up the troublemakers!"
"Yes." A group of soldiers rushed in, **** Mrs. Weng, Mrs. Tong and her daughter, and a dozen other troublemaking ladies, and dragged them to a corner of the hall to await their punishment.
Yuan Zhi was really convinced by these women. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he hurriedly went to apologize to Gu Jinli and the others: "Mrs. Qin Guogong, Mrs. Ouyang, I'm really sorry. Please wait a little longer. Carriage Coming soon."
Gu Jinli said: "There's no rush, as long as we can go home tonight."
"Thank you, Mrs. Duke of Qin." Yuan Zhi went out in person and urged the carriages to pick up the women. More than two-quarters of an hour later, the first carriages finally arrived, and he hurried to invite Gu Jinli and the others.
Gu Jinli did not delay and left in the first batch of carriages.
Zong Zhengya brought Concubine Rui over to see her off, and said sincerely: "Cousins, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, we would all have died at the hands of Qian Li'er... I won't say more, After the matter is over, I will send someone to your door to deliver a thank you gift, and I ask you not to be dissatisfied then, and you must accept it."
Gu Jinli didn't want to have too much interaction with Zong Zhengya, so he just said: "Princess, you're welcome... There are still many things in the palace. You can go ahead and I won't disturb you. I will go back first."
Zong Zhengya didn't care about her alienation. He just said goodbye to the three children with a smile, and said: "I am your Aunt Wei. When His Majesty summons you another day, you also come to meet Auntie. Auntie has a New Year's gift for you." .”
He then introduced Concubine Rui to them: "This is also your aunt."
The second wolf shouted: "That's wrong, that's wrong, it's my cousin. The second wolf is so smart!"
Zong Zhengya smiled and said: "Sure enough, I was wrong. You did call me Aunt Cousin. Only Prince Luo wants to call me Aunt Wei... Erlang is so smart."
How stupid you are, not being defensive against anyone!
Concubine Rui also looked at Erlang with a smile, especially looking at his fat face. Her fingers were itchy and she wanted to pinch his face to bleed, and then take the opportunity to put something into his broken wound.
“Okay, tell your cousin, we are going home.” Gu Jinli urged.
The three children waved goodbye obediently: "Cousin/Aunt Wei, goodbye."
"Goodbye, it's dark and the road is slippery, so walk slower." Zong Zhengya said with concern, wishing that their carriage would roll over and bury them on the roadside!
After Gu Jinli and his carriage left Xiushan, several more people came from the Jinluan Palace. They were several eunuchs, holding thick hemp ropes in their hands.
When he arrived at Qi'an Hall, he told him his purpose.
Yuan Zhi and Zhong Naijian immediately took them to the palace to meet people: "These are Mrs. Tong and Concubine Qing." Zhong Naijian said to Mrs. Tong in a bad mood: "Mrs. Tong, they were sent by His Majesty himself to find you mother and daughter. Yes. You are so powerful that the new emperor even knows about you mother and daughter."
Mrs. Tong was overjoyed when she heard this and looked at the eunuchs: "Yes, His Majesty sent you here? Are you going to take Sister Qing to see Your Majesty?!"
Sister Qing did not lie, Prince Wei was indeed interested in her!
After hearing this, Concubine Qing's face lit up with joy, and she even looked away shyly.
Yuan Zhi was speechless. How did this wealthy family raise a girl? Is there nothing else in your mind except that idea of love?
Eunuch Xu, who was holding the rope, smiled and said, "It is indeed your Majesty who sent your servants here."
He asked again: "Are you really Mrs. Tong and Concubine Qing?"
You have to confirm your identity before you can take action. Otherwise, what if you kill the wrong person?
Mrs. Tong nodded quickly: "Exactly... I dare to ask my father-in-law, is it a happy event that His Majesty sent you to come to us?"
Are you going to change my sister Qing's identity and become a concubine in the palace?
Eunuch Xu smiled slightly and said: "It is indeed a happy event... Your Majesty sent us to send you on your way to put an end to this worldly suffering."
Mrs. Tong was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Eunuch Xu did not answer her, but read out their charges in public: "Your Majesty has decreed that Mrs. Tong and her daughter Tong Qing caused trouble to David. Their sin is unforgivable. They must be put to death immediately to eliminate the cause of the disaster!"
What, Your Majesty wants them to die!
Mrs. Tong was stunned and shouted: "Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding. Your Majesty said that harm will not harm the female family members, how could he execute our mother and daughter!"
Eunuch Xu said: "Your Majesty said that the other female family members are fine, but you two, who have been incorrigible and evil, must die!"
He threw the rope to the **** behind him and said: "Torture!"
"Yes." Four eunuchs came forward and dragged Mrs. Tong and her daughter to the middle of the palace. They wrapped a thick hemp rope around their necks and pulled **** both sides, and then pulled again until the two rolled their eyes and died completely.
Bang bang!
After the rope was removed, the bodies of Mrs. Tong and her daughter fell softly to the ground, making a dull and terrifying sound.
Eunuch Xu looked at the wives of other wealthy families and said: "Your Majesty said that if you want to survive, you must be obedient and don't cause trouble to him. He is not Wei Qi. He will pounce on a woman when he sees one. Your daughter , you are not even worthy of being a foot washer for him!"
Your Majesty only likes the property of the reclusive wealthy family, and has no interest in the girls of the reclusive wealthy family. The person who can be his concubine must be someone whose father and brother are capable and who can be helpful to the country.
The wives of the reclusive wealthy families were frightened to death, but they did not dare to faint. They bit their tongues to wake themselves up and promised: "Yes, the reclusive wealthy families will definitely be obedient, and they will never dare to use girls to form gangs for personal gain~"
Yuan Zhi sneered: "Humph, it turns out you know that you are using girls to form cliques for personal gain!"
Eunuch Xu nodded with satisfaction and said: "The servant's business has been done, so I won't stay any longer. The servant took these two corpses away."
Eunuch Xu said goodbye to Yuan Zhi and others, asked people to carry the body up, and went back to deliver the work.
After such a dynasty, not to mention the reclusive wealthy families, even the aristocratic families and the families of high-ranking officials did not dare to easily think of giving a daughter to Wei Xiao, for fear that a wrong gift would lead to the disaster of annihilation!
Such killings continued inside and outside the imperial city. Another group of people died that night, but these had nothing to do with Gu Jinli and the others. She had already arrived home safely with her children.
