famous eldest daughter

Chapter 766 Knowing
A burst of noise downstairs interrupted Tao Ye's inner thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he stood up and pushed open the large carved window facing the street.

Suddenly, the north wind roared in his face, covering his face with heavy snow, and it hit his face. There were two lines of clear tears on his face, and the cold was biting.

Squinting despite the cold wind and heavy snow, Tao Ye leaned forward and looked down the street, just in time to see the commander of the Forbidden Army personally escorting He Zhinian past the gate of Bazhen Pavilion and headed straight towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.

Heavy snow paved the road, turning the entire street white, and the north wind roared, swirling some fallen leaves that had not yet had time to fall from the branches, swirling all over the sky.

Tao Ye couldn't help sniffing.

I don’t know how the commander of the imperial army arrested He Zhinian. In such weather, He Zhinian was walking barefoot. He was not wearing a cotton-padded cloak, but he was wearing a brocade single coat, which was still unbuttoned. In such snowy weather, , seems extremely thin.

He Zhinian did not scream or make any fuss. He was being escorted with his hair disheveled. He walked steadily along the way, like a soulless body. He was tied up and pushed forward every few steps. It was a snowy road. Slippery, stumbling, and very embarrassed.

The noise came from the crowd of people watching.

I don't know who leaked the news about He Zhinian's foreign residence. How much these onlookers admired and admired this young talent who was born in a wealthy family at the time, now they are angry and contemptuous of him.

Scum, beast... Such shouts and curses are heard endlessly.

Condescendingly, Tao Ye stood on the second floor of Bazhen Pavilion and watched, with water ripples in his heart. His eyes were a bit colder than the weather outside.

He picked up the teapot, poured a cup with the tea cup in his hand, and the hot tea was immediately blown by the cold wind wrapped in snow flakes into a swaying white mist, straight in front of Tao Ye's eyes.

Looking at He Zhinian who was already drifting away through the extremely cold white mist blown by the wind, Tao Ye let out a long breath. He was a scumbag and a beast... He was really a father and son, and it couldn't be described more accurately.

It is said that like father, like son, it is true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

With Marquis Zhenning's words and deeds, He Zhinian was influenced by what he heard and saw, so it was perfectly normal for him to do something worse than a pig or a dog.

He Zhinian was suddenly imprisoned on death row, and the Marquis of Zhenning was dismissed from his post and reduced his rank. He must not sit still and wait for death.

Ten years, he waited for ten years.

In the past ten years, there was not a day in my dream that it wasn't about the fire, or about A Yuan collapsing in front of him outside the threshold... The bone-gnawing hatred finally found its chance.

The Princess of Pingxi Palace once warned him that if you want to take revenge or get rid of someone, you must never take action unless you are absolutely sure that you can knock them down in one fell swoop and never stand up.

There is only one result of beating grass and scaring snakes, and that is to seek death.

Because of this sentence, he endured it for ten years. During these ten years, in order to obtain more evidence of Zhen Ninghou's crimes and to climb to a higher position, he even toasted and exchanged glasses with Zhen Ninghou and talked about Yan Yan.

These torturous days are finally over.

Seeing He Zhinian completely disappear from sight, Tao Ye closed the window with his backhand, drank the cool tea cup in his hand, and left.

When the news reached Xiao Yu's ears, Ming Lu had just returned from Baoding Mansion and was about to report the matter to the Canglan people. Before he could say anything, a subordinate knocked on the study door with a head of white snow on his head.

Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning, and glanced at the door of the study, "Come in." His voice was low, and his anger could not be heard.

The door creaked, and his subordinate swept down a heavy snowfall. He stepped across the threshold and walked a few steps to the side of Ming Road. He clasped his fists and bowed, and reported back: "Your Highness, just now, the Marquis of Zhenning was dismissed from his post and his title was reduced. Congratulations." He was imprisoned on death row for [-] years and will be executed directly in prison tonight."

When Xiao Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly trembled, but there was no trace of surprise on his face.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted, "This old guy, before I can take action, someone is more dissatisfied with him than me and can't wait to take the lead."

Over the years, the Marquis of Zhenning has attached himself to Xiao Yi and the Queen, and often killed him. Several thrilling assassinations were also arranged by the Marquis of Zhenning. When Xiao Yi and the Queen fell, his next target was the Marquis of Zhenning's Mansion. Unexpectedly, it saved his energy at this time.

There is also He Zhinian, who has a sanctimonious appearance, carries the name of the most talented person in the dynasty, and does things worse than animals. Xiao Yu has been paying attention to his foreign house in Xiao Willow Lane for a long time, but the Queen's party has not been completely eliminated. , I just couldn’t spare any time to deal with him.

As expected, everyone is outraged by such a scumbag. He can't take any action, but there are people who are more active than him.

"Who did it?"

"It seems to be Prince Pingxi's Mansion." His subordinate reported back.

"Prince Pingxi's Mansion?"

Xiao Yu shook his head. The old prince was busy fighting pigs every day. This morning, he led dozens of his big pigs to surround the Great Buddha Temple, forcing the abbot of the temple to consecrate his pigs. When they refused, he made a fuss about consecrating those pigs. The pig had a golden body, but fortunately, he stopped for some reason in the end and did not make a bigger joke. Naturally, it was impossible for him to arrange it.

Shizi?

Xiao Yu shook his head in his heart.

Although the Pingxi Palace has a very high status in the court, this status is due to the hard work of the older generation and the maintenance of the old lady. The prince has been doing nothing and making no achievements. His life has reached So far, the two biggest points are giving birth to and marrying the Crown Princess, and giving birth to Luo Song.

Although the prince is mediocre, Luo Song, who was named king by his father at a young age, is really capable, has an immeasurable future, and has the style of his ancestors.

But Luo Song was only ten years old, so he couldn't arrange such a thing.

Who would that be?
A handsome yet majestic face appeared in Xiao Yu's mind. He was the eldest concubine of Prince Pingxi Palace. Several times when his mother-in-law left the palace, she secretly met with the eldest concubine of Prince Pingxi Palace in private.

Before the mother-in-law entered the palace, she and the eldest concubine were just friends with each other. Later, when they entered the palace, the two severed all ties and had no contact with each other anymore. Even he initially thought that the mother-in-law and the eldest concubine were really in love. We are strangers.

The imperial concubine's decisiveness in killing was quite similar to the old lady's demeanor. However, it was not certain whether it was the imperial concubine who took action this time or the old lady herself.

No matter what, Zhen Ninghou and his son were like a cancer growing in his heart. Since someone from the Pingxi Palace had taken action to cut off the cancer with a knife, he would naturally give it a try.

"He Zhinian was arrested because of what happened in Little Willow Lane?"

"Yes!"

"Skip the interrogation, he will be executed tonight, will Zhenning know?" Xiao Yu asked his subordinates after concentrating on his thoughts.

The subordinate immediately said: "Everyone in the capital knows it now, and Marquis Zhenning must know it."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xiao Yu's lips, "You and your men should go and guard the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. There will be a good show tonight. Don't let Zhen Ninghou and his son escape!"
