My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 625: 625: The Battle of the Three

What was there to say?

Emperor Yong Ping felt sad for nothing. Now, he finally understood why the emperor said that he was alone. Those who could play together in the past would inevitably drift further and further away as they grew older and their status changed.

Especially for a ruler, there was no way he could completely deal with all changes without changing.

He had changed, so had Cai Qilang, Xi Shibalang, and He Balang.

Cai Qilang had entered the palace to plead for Cai Qi, but Xie Xian’s words were still ringing in his ears. How could he, as the Emperor, suppress Xie Xian and plead for a case that was clearly the Cai family’s fault and that everyone in Jiankang City knew?

Moreover, he had to have this strength. Emperor Yong Ping was weak to begin with.

There was no need for a trial. The case was clear, and the evidence was conclusive. The maid of the Cai family had pointed out that two people who were related to the murderer of Mother Xie and Lady Yuan, the nun Yuan Hai, had died one after another. It was Cai Qi. Did he dare to believe that he was innocent?

Furthermore, Emperor Yong Ping believed that even if the evidence was not conclusive, Xie Xian had the ability to make it conclusive. This was his recognition of Xie Xian.

In the end, Emperor Yong Ping did not see Cai Qilang.

Actually, he still had a bad premonition in his heart. Xie Xian wouldn’t let this matter rest just like that. How could Xie Xian be satisfied with the crime of being exiled? The Cai family would have to offer a large number of sacrifices. Snakes don’t die, but suffer.

In this wave, Xie Xian was definitely going to bare his fangs. By imposing his might on the Cai family, he was also imposing his might on everyone. He wanted everyone who wanted to attack the Xie family to see the consequences of offending the Xie family.

You can, as long as you can bear the consequences.

###

Everything was as Emperor Yong Ping had expected. Xie Xian made his move. Cai family maid Chen Hua identified Granny Chen as the person who bribed Yuan Hai. Jiankang ordered Yan Dong to send someone to dig up Granny Chen’s grave buried in the mass grave and personally let Yuan Hai identify her. Fortunately, Granny Chen had died not long ago, so Yuan Hai could still recognize her. He pointed out that Granny Chen was the one who gave her the money and the poison.

Yuan Hai was so scared that he wet his pants. He was in her shoes every minute. She didn’t know if she was glad that she was caught for attempted murder or if she was angry that she was greedy for money and ended up in jail. She had heard that even the Cai family behind the scenes had been toppled by the Xie family, and the head of the family had been arrested.

Although she lived at the bottom of society, there were many legends about the aristocratic families in the market. In the past, it was like a story in a book. She had followed the gossip and gossiped.

Especially in the past few years, the Xie family had been thriving, and she had been talking about it.

But how did he offend the Xie family?

Other than allowing the Cai family to plot against her, she was also taking herself too seriously. She took money too seriously and did not take her life seriously. Calling her an egg hitting a stone was already considered as burying an egg. An ant trying to shake a tree, the heavens wanted to kill her!

Now, she was pinning her hopes on the fact that at least no one had died under her hands, and that she had a good attitude in pleading guilty, so that the Xie family would be magnanimous and spare her life.

Therefore, he had a very good attitude in admitting his guilt, and his confession was also extremely detailed. In the past, he ‘didn’t expect’ it, but after the Cai family’s head was arrested, he ‘remembered’ it.

The reason was also very sufficient. He was afraid that Cai Qi would kill him to silence him.

It was impossible. One after another, Jun Bujian died. Even the gambling den’s manager and Granny Chen, who asked him to identify the corpses, were dead? Many things that he couldn’t say or forgot in the past were remembered now. For example, Wet Nurse Chen had said that it was Aunt Yuan who had instigated her to take revenge on Madam Yuan for not knowing how to appreciate kindness and causing their family head to lose his official position. Under Yuan Hai’s active cooperation, the case was clear. Cai Qi instigated the murder and then killed to silence the witness. It was confirmed that it was true. Cai Qi and Aunt Yuan were the main culculprits and sentenced to hanging. The moment the Jiankang magistrate’s sentence was announced, the Jiankang magistrate was in an uproar. At least in the Cai family’s position…

A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. At least Cai Dalang was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel and his family was not destroyed. Cai Qilang was also Emperor Yong Ping’s confidant. If Cai Qi’s actions against the Xie family had not been exposed, even if Cai Qi himself could not recover in a short period of time, his descendants would still have a chance in the future.

It had always been like this. The aristocratic families had a history of hundreds of years. They had ups and downs, and it could be said that no family had ever had a period of low tide.

As long as they were given the right soil, the family business would be revived in minutes.

As a result, this had become the consensus of the aristocratic families. Even if it was for the sake of their own family’s future downfall, they had always been united.

Leave a line today, so that we can meet in the future and form a good relationship.

As a result, other than committing a major crime of conspiracy and rebellion they would rarely be sentenced to death. It was a consensus that they would ’ not be sentenced to a doctor.

The memorial of the Jiankang Order flew into Taiji Palace like snowflakes. Emperor Yong Ping felt a headache coming on. He never dreamed that Yan Dong could be so tough.

Who would believe that it wasn’t Xie Xian’s signal?

But because he understood that it was Xie Xian’s signal, Emperor Yong Ping could not say anything.

He had thought-he had thought-that it would be exile at best. He would just be exiled to a bitterly cold place where birds would not shit or chickens would not lay eggs.

No wonder Xie Xian didn’t bother him when he said this and waited for the Jiankang order to decide.

Emperor Yong Ping felt bitter in his heart. He wanted to say it but had nowhere to say it.

The courtiers, especially those from the aristocratic families, would not let it go. They were afraid that if they set a precedent, they would be implicated in the future. Emperor Yong Ping really did not know what Xie Xian could do.

At the very least, up until now, Xie Xian had been the sole leader of the other aristocratic families, including the construction and implementation of government decrees. Without him standing in front, the aristocratic families could tear him apart alive.

Cai Qi was also blinded by greed, provoking this fellow.

Fortunately, he did not succeed. If he really succeeded, Xie Xian would have to retire. At that time, where would he put him, the Emperor?

It wasn’t that Emperor Yong Ping looked down on Cai Qi, but he couldn’t catch up to Xie Xian. If he chased Xie Xian away, he would be left here as an Emperor, and he would be the fish of the aristocratic families. Cai Qi couldn’t bear the responsibility.

In the end, he had no choice but to summon Chief Justice Xi into the palace. As he was once the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and now the Chief Justice, no one knew better than him about the rules.

Additionally, the new chief justice Xi was obviously more tactful than the old chief justice. He was not as straightforward as his dad.

Chief Justice Xi frowned for a long time and said,”

“Sentenced to be hanged, ah… Generally speaking, those with such a bad nature would be beheaded after autumn.”

Tingwei Xi felt that Jiankang’s sentence was too light.

One had to know that death was still different from death. Executing was a clean cut in two. After death, one’s soul would not be able to live in peace and could not be reborn. However, hanging was different. At least he would have a complete corpse.

Therefore, Xi Tingwei meant…Xie Xian had already shown mercy? Emperor Yong Ping narrowed his eyes. Don’t think that he was really unreasonable. If this was the norm, why did the aristocratic family ministers have to participate in the health order? This was clearly not following the old rules.

“As usual, no aristocratic family would use such despicable methods to target women in the back residence.”Chief Xi said..
