Chapter 1096: Survival with a Broken Arm 3
Xu Xirou told the whole story truthfully without any exaggeration. Wei Zhijie’s confession was a bit stupid! Pang Qingyun’s punishment had just passed, and although he was no longer grounded, Grand Secretary Wei had given a death order forbidding him from going out. He had been staying in the residence with the servant girl shamelessly, but Guard Wei had secretly told him that there was a way to get Xu Xirou, and he could still do what he wanted. If he came up with another idea, he would record it with a voice recording stone. He was not afraid that she would not give in.
Xu Xirou was Wei Zhijie’s obsession, and she was possessed. With Guard Wei’s bewitchment, she resolved the crisis and agreed after a moment of thought, resulting in this scene.
Guard Wei and Zi Ningyan’s confessions. The people from the dark came to them and promised them a lot. In the beginning, they refused, but the people from the dark offered too much. They increased the price again and again (including treasures, cultivation resources, power, etc.). They also promised that the matter would be flawless and that they would follow the plan. They would use the voice recording stone to control Xu Xirou. She would not dare to resist. That was why this scene happened.
From start to finish.
Wei Zhijie was a good-for-nothing who was being played in the dark.
After reading it.
The Xia Emperor closed the document and handed it to Wei Shang. He went down and handed it to Zhang Ronghua. He looked at the evidence in his hand and was curious as to why he had the guts to commit such a heinous act. He flipped it open and read it. When he closed it, he handed it to Grand Secretary Wei.
He had seen scammers before, but he had never seen such scammers!
If it wasn’t for his father’s quick reaction, he would have been in prison by now. Grand Secretary Wei had read the document carefully.
After reading it.
The killing intent in his heart soared. He wanted nothing more than to destroy Guard Wei’s clan. As a member of the Wei Clan, he actually colluded with outsiders to set up a trap for his master. He really deserved to die!
“Please punish me, Your Majesty!”
The Xia Emperor was truly enraged. Darkness was very bold, even daring to have designs on the Pavilion Elder. Wei Zhijie, that idiot, had still foolishly taken the bait. If their plan had succeeded, the consequences would have been unimaginable! His eyes were cold.” At noon tomorrow, you will supervise the execution of Guard Wei’s men at the market. Then, send Wei Zhijie on his way. The governors of Linzhou and Yingzhou will be demoted to civilians. Those involved in this case will be severely punished and fined a year’s salary!”
Zhang Ronghua understood that this punishment was very heavy, and it was under the circumstances of putting righteousness above family.
The two provinces were Upper Provinces, and the governors were Grand Secretary Wei’s men. Now that they had been taken down, their successors would naturally be the Xia Emperor’s men. Although he didn’t know what the Emperor’s plans were, from the looks of it, they had taken another step forward.
Using this case to convict Grand Secretary Wei, at most, he would be charged with negligence and couldn’t be taken down. The next best thing was to secretly execute Wei Zhijie and then exempt him from punishment. In exchange, he would receive a symbolic salary penalty.
“Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!” Grand Secretary Wei bowed and left.
The door closed.
“Understood?” the Xia Emperor asked.
“Boiled frog in warm water,” Zhang Ronghua thought for a moment and said.
The Xia Emperor’s tense face was replaced by a smile. He waved his hand, and Zhang Ronghua stepped forward to help him down from the imperial platform. He walked to the window and stopped, looking at the night scenery outside.” You must use the right method to govern the country. You can’t solve the problem in a hurry.”
“I understand!”
“You did well in the ZhongTian camp. I am very gratified. You have made another contribution tonight. I must reward you.” At this point, the Xia Emperor revealed a mocking expression.
“Tell me, what do you want?”
Zhang Ronghua complained in his heart. Only a fool would ask such a fatal question. He said seriously,” It’s my duty to help His Majesty.”
“You’re a slippery one,” the Xia Emperor scolded jokingly.
Waving his hand, he ordered Wei Shang to bring the items over.
After a while.
Wei Shang handed over an ancient book that exuded an ancient aura.
“This is the legacy of the ancient medical arts,” the Xia Emperor said.”It’s a gift for you.”
Zhang Ronghua remembered that Li Daoran had previously been the county governor of Changping County. He had obtained a complete ancient medical inheritance, so he had made an exception and been promoted to Jinzhou as a pushing official. He did not expect that after a few twists and turns, he would actually end up in his hands. He took it and thanked him.” Thank you, Your Majesty!”
” I’ll leave Changqing Academy to you. Remember, let them know the pain!”
Zhang Ronghua was surprised. He didn’t expect such a benefit.” I’ll go over now.”
Waiting for him to leave.
The Xia Emperor sighed.
Wei Shang lowered his head and cursed. You have so many princesses. If you pick one with an ” innocent identity ” to be your mistress, wouldn’t the problem be solved?
“There’s movement in the harem?”
“I’ll do my job!”
The Xia Emperor mocked.” They thought victory was in their grasp, so they didn’t make a move. Otherwise, how could they behave themselves on such a good opportunity like my birthday?”
He asked again.
“How’s the plan coming along?”
“Just a little bit more and it’s ready,” said Wei Shang.
” Darkness, the forces in the dark. This time, I will severely injure them!”
..
They left the Vermilion Bird Sect.
Ding Yi and the others went up to welcome him. Only Mo Qi ‘an, Lu Jian, and a group of bailiffs were left. The soldiers and the others had already returned.”Brother (Lord Marquis)!”
Zhang Ronghua nodded. He glanced at the carriage beside him. Xu Xirou was still inside. He briefly explained what had happened.” Mo Qi ‘an, stay here. The rest of you, go back first.”
After they left, he ordered again,”Go to Changqing Academy.”.
He stepped on the small stool and got into the carriage.
Inside the car.
Xu Xirou’s body was still covered with the bone powder. She was still lying on the soft couch. Although she had no cultivation, she would have been severely insecure in the past. However, she felt safer than ever. Seeing him sit down, her red lips opened slightly.” Any results?”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua replied.
