The wife of a powerful minister?Don't worry, I'll take back my destiny first

Xu Tingzhong picked up the files again and read them carefully. Finally, he gave an instruction in Zhubi: Li Chong, Wang Jinfu, Xuan Jizi and others will all be executed after the fall.

As for Shangguan Jue and his wife, they were acquitted due to insufficient evidence for the incident with the prisoners in Qingyang Temple, and Xiao Tai was ordered to track down Xue Hongming and others.

Xiao Tai received Xu Tingzhong's instructions and felt no wavering in his heart. Xiao Tai had already secretly dealt with Xue Hongming and his men.

Even if everyone in Xuanyue Kingdom mobilized and dug three feet into the ground, no one would be found alive and no dead bodies would be found.

Guan Chenyun stayed at Nanshan Academy for ten days, and all the students in the academy felt that they had benefited a lot. Everyone unconsciously compares Shangguan Jue with Guan Chenyun. The result of the comparison is that Shangguan Jue has a false name, but in fact he does not have much real material.

The most important point is that Guan Chenyun's theory of self-cultivation, governing the country and bringing peace to the world is refreshing to the students.

Everyone actually knows that their Majesty is not a wise king, and they also know that this world is only slightly better than the troubled times. The interior hidden under the peace has long been rotten.

Although no one said it out loud, the idea of ​​overthrowing this corrupt regime took root in the hearts of many people.

When Shangguan Jue came back from Nanshan Academy, he saw that all the academy students were flocking to Guan Chenyun, but no one cared about him as the former dean.

Xiao Tai asked Shangguan Jue to become an ordinary teacher in the academy on the grounds that the problem needed to be further verified.

The first thing Shangguan Jue did when he returned to the academy was to open his private treasury, but the empty treasury made his heart sink to the bottom.

Shangguan Jue angrily went to Xiao Tai to argue: "Master Xiao, it is understandable for you as the new dean to accept the public treasury of Nanshan Academy. How can you take away all the things in my private treasury? That is what I, Shangguan Jue, have owned for decades. My hard work!"

Xiao Tai thought of the empty warehouse in Qingyang Temple and was sure that those things were related to Ye Xi.

But when facing Shangguan Jue, Xiao Tai sneered: "Shangguan Jue, no one has touched your private treasury. Not to mention that there is nothing in it, but you are here to rake it up and slander me, right?"

Shangguan Jue glared at Xiao Tai with scarlet eyes, but was defeated by Xiao Tai's sharp eyes.

He was extremely regretful at this moment. He was just a weak scholar. If he had an official position, would Xiao Tai still dare to despise him so much?

If Xiao Tai knew Shangguan Jue's thoughts, he would definitely tell him: Don't think too much. Even if Shangguan Jue is the emperor, Xiao Tai still despises him.

Shangguan Jue returned to the small courtyard of the academy with a dejected face. Looking at his dejected look, Shangguan's wife knew that the gold and silver treasures in the private treasury could not be retrieved.

Thinking that all the property that the couple had calculated from the academy's public treasury over the years was finally gone, Mrs. Shangguan was so angry that she fainted on the spot.

Zhao was sent back to Xinghua Village a long time ago. The village occasionally sent people to bring her some food, but no amount of care would be enough.

After the injury on Zhao's butt healed, she went up the mountain with a basket on her back to dig wild vegetables and fruits. Although wild vegetables and fruits are sour and unpalatable, it is better to eat them than to starve to death.

She would often look in the direction of Xiyuan from a distance, her eyes filled with resentment.

Ding Zhongwen was beaten twenty times. After his butt healed, he was sent to the border to mine.

The life of a frontier mining worker is difficult, and it is unknown whether Ding Zhongwen will be able to persist until he is released from prison.

The matter between the Wang family and Qingyangguan was too big, so Xu Tingzhong asked Xiao Tai to hand over the people to him.

Xiao Tai did not hesitate and handed over all the prisoners to Xu Tingzhong as quickly as possible. As for those who had been deprived of their luck, including girls and children, they were all not handed over to Xu Tingzhong on the grounds that they were sent home.

For this reason, Xu Tingzhong was furious at Xiao Tai, but Xiao Tai looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which made Xu Tingzhong half angry.

Xu Tingzhong secretly handed the news to King Ding, but King Ding replied to him: Of all the people who had been deprived of their luck, not one of them was sent home. Where have those people gone? Xu Tingzhong sent his secret guards to investigate, but the Kaiyang County government office was so big that it could not hide so many people.

This matter became a mystery to Xu Tingzhong and King Ding.

Dongfang Jing gritted his teeth and smashed a table: "Check! Let me investigate thoroughly! There must be something wrong with this Xiao Tai."

After the subordinates were ordered to leave, Dongfang Jing shouted angrily: "Summon the Master of the Xiao family - no! Summon Xiao Zhenye to visit the Prince's Mansion."

Two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Zhenye, the future head of the Xiao family, had already arrived at Prince Ding's Mansion.

"Xiao Zhenye pays homage to His Highness Prince Ding!" Xiao Zhenye respectfully bowed to Prince Ding.

Prince Ding held the tea cup and looked at Xiao Zhenye, who was over thirty but still handsome, and said gently: "Young Master, there is no need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

"Yes." Xiao Zhenye sat down on the stool next to him obediently and asked slightly nervously: "I wonder why His Highness asked me to come here?"

King Ding threw a stack of files to Xiao Zhenye: "Zhenye, read it yourself."

Xiao Zhenye picked it up and took a look. It was about the Qingyang Temple in Kaiyang County imprisoning the children of aristocratic families and seizing their luck.

Third brother Xiao Zhenbang had already told him this matter in a secret message a few days ago.

But Xiao Zhenye seemed to know these things for the first time, and his face was unfailingly shocked.

"Your Highness, there is such a heaven-defying luck-stealing technique in this world. This, this is too scary. I wonder how Your Highness wants to deal with those evil people in Qingyang Temple?"

King Ding also looked deeply disgusted: "I have approved that Xuan Jizi and others will be executed in ten days. Today, I invite you here because I want to tell you about Xiao Tai."

"Xiao Tai?" Xiao Zhenye asked in surprise: "Did this little brother of mine cause trouble?"

King Ding nodded: "Xu Tingzhong, the new magistrate of Fuyang, wrote a letter saying that Xiao Tai detained those people who were originally imprisoned in Qingyang Temple without reason. Xu Tingzhong sent secret guards to Kaiyang County, but no trace of anyone was found."

"What Xiao Tai said to Xu Tingzhong was that those people were sent home. But after my investigation, I found that no one went home."

"Therefore, I suspect that Xiao Tai is closely related to the matter of seizing luck."

"Your Highness, be aware!" Xiao Zhenye knelt down in front of King Ding: "Although my concubine does things that are not very public, he will definitely not be connected with the matter of seizing luck."

"Zhenye, why are you kneeling down?" Prince Ding pretended to step forward and gave Xiao Zhenye a hand: "I just have doubts about this, haven't I not been sure yet?"

"Your Highness, please investigate clearly." Xiao Zhenye kowtowed to Wang Ding again.

King Ding nodded: "Zhenye, this king is looking at the friendship between you and me, so I leave the investigation of Xiao Tai to you."

"This is my king's jade pendant. You can do things cheaply with it. Zhenye, I hope you can find out the whereabouts of those people. I don't want to unjustly accuse your brother."

Xiao Zhenye took the jade pendant and thanked King Ding again: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will definitely investigate this matter clearly."

King Ding laughed: "Okay! I know Zhenye will not let me down. Go down!"

Xiao Zhenye bowed and exited. When he walked out of Prince Ding's Mansion, he was surprised to realize that his clothes had already been soaked with sweat. (End of chapter)
