Chapter 141;

"Your Majesty, Uncle Yiyong and Lord Wanfu Township seek to see you."

Emperor Hongwen straightened his expression immediately.

"Let them in."

Not long after, Lu Yaoyao and Yi Yongbo walked into the imperial study.

"Wanfu, why are you free to come here today?"

"How are the preparations for the feast in two days' time?"

Behind the imperial case, Emperor Hongwen on the dragon chair looked at Lu Yaoyao pretending not to know what they came for.

"The court lady is not here today for the banquet two days later."

As she spoke, she knelt down slowly.

"The courtier came to plead guilty, and just now the courtier beat someone and killed someone."

"Ok?"

Emperor Hongwen's originally smiling face suddenly sank, his eyes turned, and he looked at the three Yiyong uncles beside him.

"Hey, who is the little girl behind you, Uncle Yiyong?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this is the minister's daughter."

As he said that, he also knelt on the ground with a plop.

"I have no way to teach my daughter, so I am here to plead guilty to His Majesty."

"You also apologize?"

Emperor Hongwen showed surprise.

"What's going on? You're all confused."

"Wanfu, tell me."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao didn't hide it, she opened her mouth immediately, starting from the cause of today, when she said that she asked the maid to break Lin Miaoxin's arm.

Emperor Hongwen's face suddenly darkened.

"Wanfu, you are so courageous."

Lu Yaoyao's voice paused.

"Li De, take Uncle Yiyong's little daughter down and find a good doctor to show her."

"At such a young age, don't leave any sequelae."

Li De hurriedly stepped forward to greet Lin Miaoxin.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness."

Uncle Yiyong shouted his thanks and gave Emperor Hongwen a heavy blow.

"Uncle Yiyong, you should be flattened first."

"Wanfu, continue to talk about why you hurt people and who you killed again."

Lu Yaoyao, who stopped just now, continued to speak.

When he heard that she had killed more than a dozen servants of Uncle Yiyong's mansion in the street, Emperor Hongwen slapped the table angrily.

"Lawless."

"At the foot of the imperial city, at the foot of the emperor, how dare you commit murder in the street."

"Come here, drag Wanfu Xiangjun down, and hit him thirty times."

Lu Yaoyao, who was kneeling there, didn't show any fear on his face, when he heard that he was about to be spanked.

He didn't even say a word of begging for forgiveness.

Instead, he shouted thank you His Majesty, stood up by himself, turned around and walked out with the servant who came in.

"Wait a minute."

"Your Majesty must not blame Wanfu Xiangjun."

Uncle Yiyong hastily stopped him, because what Lu Yaoyao had just said was not over yet.

The final point has not been said yet, if he is blamed first and then waits until the matter is clarified, it will be even more difficult.

Although he resigned to his fate, he came to face the saint with Lu Yaoyao.

But it doesn't mean that he intends to let Lu Yaoyao go lightly, he still hopes that His Majesty can punish Lu Yaoyao.

But it was not when this matter was not made clear.

"What does Uncle Yiyong mean by that?"

"The Lord of Wanfu Township is so bold and reckless that he injures and kills people in the street. Shouldn't he be punished?"

Uncle Yi Yong knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for the incident. Although Wanfu Township Lord committed a crime, it can be said that he has no way to teach his daughter."

He quickly and honestly told all the things his daughter had done.

There are so many people present today, it is absolutely impossible to hide anything, and there is no way to hide it.

"Is there still this?"

"But even if there is a reason for the incident, Wanfu's attack is too ruthless."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Yaoyao, seeing her calm and calm expression, he wanted to continue to order punishment.

He also thought of the scene of Xiangjun's mansion reported by the spies just now.

Back then when Lu Yaoyao ordered the killing, wasn't it the same as it is now?
Uncle Yi Yong, who was kneeling there, waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for His Majesty's next words, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

He could only say that His Majesty did not intend to punish him.

Although he is unwilling, he knows in his heart what kind of usefulness Wanfu Xiangjun has for the court.

Now that His Majesty's attitude has been made clear, revenge is useless.

Maybe, he would feel dissatisfied because they were looking for Lord Wanfu.

After all, even the second prince chose to retreat from the edge because of what Lu Yaoyao had in his hands.

His Majesty's current attitude is also so obvious. It is not a good thing for them to continue to pester them at such a time.

"Your Majesty, please tell me that Lord Wanfu Township has certainly acted more aggressively."

"At the end of the day, it's the minister's daughter who has done too much. That's why the result is that the minister has no way to teach the daughter. I implore His Majesty to punish her."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen glanced at Uncle Yiyong with satisfaction, and then at Lu Yaoyao with an angry look.

"Do you see that Boduo, who is righteous and brave, understands righteousness?"

"Looking at you?"

"It's so ruthless at such a young age, will it be repaid in the future?"

What he said made Uncle Yi Yong feel even more bitter and helpless. His Majesty really did not intend to punish Lu Yaoyao.

Listen to the tone of these words, although it is a reproach, but there is a kind of intimacy in it that the elders teach the younger ones.

It's still too underestimated the favor of this Xiangjun in His Majesty's place.

"Your Majesty taught me the right thing, and my daughter knows she was wrong."

"Your Majesty, please punish."

When the matter came to this point, Lu Yaoyao already understood that even if he passed the test today, he was still a bachelor, so he directly saluted and admitted his mistake.

"Originally, I wanted to hit you thirty times, but Uncle Yiyong pleaded for you just now, and there is a reason for what happened."

"You will be exempted from the ban, but you have to be punished for committing crimes in the street and killing so many people in Uncle Yiyong's residence."

Uncle Yiyong, who was kneeling there, couldn't help cursing secretly when he heard this.

Pleading, when did I plead for her?

But since His Majesty said so, he didn't dare to refute. Since he already planned to suffer, there was no need to continue pestering him.

"Uncle Yiyong, please tell me how to punish, I will listen to you today."

He has already taken care of Lu Yaoyao's feelings and given favoritism, so naturally he can't let down the feelings of Uncle Yiyong.

"I am frightened."

"Since I said that I will listen to you today, then you can tell me directly, how do you plan to punish Lord Wanfu?"

Emperor Hongwen waved his hand and continued to ask.

"Your Majesty understands that we are both at fault for today's incident. Although the Xiangjun's methods are a bit fierce, I can understand after knowing the cause."

"Punishment is fine, I only have one request."

Emperor Hongwen was very satisfied with Uncle Yiyong's knowledgeable and interesting approach.

"Talk about your request, I will make the decision for you today."

"The minister's request is not difficult to fulfill. Those servants have served in the minister's house for many years, and now they are dead. I am ashamed of their families."

"Just ask Wanfu Township Lord to give compensation to the deceased."

"It's natural. Even if Uncle Yiyong doesn't mention it, I will let Wanfu do it."

Emperor Hongwen nodded and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"That's my only request."

"Wanfu, what do you think?"

Regarding this, Lu Yaoyao naturally would not say anything more, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Since this is the case, then fine Wanfu Township Lord to pay thirty thousand taels of silver to pay for the deceased."

"Another three months of confinement, Uncle Yiyong, what do you think?"
