I drank a lot of milk to calm down the shock. The whole family was waiting for me to rescue them.

There was a noise, and in an instant Wen and Zheng Xiulan were chained and pushed out of the bamboo garden.

Su Junyao stood at the door of the yard and watched the mother and daughter stagger away under the confinement of the official. He looked back at the empty yard, and the happy scenes of the family seemed to emerge one by one before his eyes.

He raised his hand to wipe away a tear from the corner of his eye and looked forward, just in time to catch the eye of Wen who was looking back.

Wen's eyes averted, and at this moment, his mind was sober as never before.

The cold iron shackles reminded her of this absurd life all the time.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but someone held her head and forced her back.

The entire mansion could only hear Zheng Xiulan's furious curses and curses.

The servants hid and did not dare to show their heads for fear of offending the master's brow. Suddenly, a cry came from the main courtyard, and then the old butler's frightened cry came out: "It's not good, the Marquis is unconscious!"

The capital has already ushered in a heavy rain, with lightning and thunder, and the sky seemed to be torn open, and the pouring rain almost flooded the entire capital.

The people in the capital said that this was God opening his eyes to complain about the old lady of Wenyang Hou Mansion.

Marquis Wenyang took off his clothes, took off his hat, put on his inner clothes and braved the heavy rain, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and headed towards the palace. Before he bowed, he shouted: "Please make the decision for your wife!"

When he reached the palace gate, there was still blood on his forehead that had not been washed away by the rain, and he was followed by the son of the Su family.

The palace had already heard about this horrific tragedy, and was even more shocked when they heard that three generations of Marquis Wenyang, including his ancestors and grandson, knelt all the way in front of the palace gate.

Emperor Jingming sent Eunuch Liu to take the people into the Zhengyang Palace. Eunuch Liu didn't even have time to hold an umbrella. He led the eunuchs and trotted all the way to the palace gate. He stepped forward and supported the crumbling Marquis Wenyang.

If Marquis Wenyang falls at the gate of the palace today, tomorrow those officials who are not afraid of death will clash with each other if they disagree.

"Master Hou, hurry up and follow the old slave into the palace. Your Majesty has heard Master He speak about this matter. Your Majesty is wise and will definitely give justice to Madam Hou. This vicious mother and daughter will definitely get their retribution!"

Marquis Wenyang's voice was hoarse and he twisted Eunuch Liu's sleeves into a ball. He has been a strong man all his life, and he is a kneeling king. Today, he knelt all the way from Guangyao Hou Mansion to the palace gate, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping you and worshiping his wife, just to avenge his old wife's injustice.

"Old minister, thank you Your Majesty!" His voice was trembling but sonorous and powerful, as if he was asking the people in heaven if they heard that the people on earth had sought justice for her.

Eunuch Liu was really afraid that Marquis Wenyang would fall in the palace, so he winked at Su Junyao and wanted to help him onto the chariot.

Su Junyao held his father's arm on the other side and shook his head slightly: "My father...father-in-law, I'm afraid I can't persuade him."

Su Junyao knew the little old man's stubborn temper very well. He said he wanted to kowtow to the Holy Spirit, but he would not give up until he saw His Majesty.

Eunuch Liu was worried because he knew Wenyang Hou's temper. The old Marquis is also getting older. When he was young, he killed countless enemies on the battlefield and suffered severe physical damage. They can't let the heroes fall.

"Master Marquis, why don't you go in with the old slave on the chariot. Your Majesty is waiting at Zhengyang Palace."

Marquis Wenyang's face was pale, but his eyes were firm: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for me. Please help me get on the chariot."

Eunuch Liu couldn't care less about the surprised and stubborn old Marquis thinking so openly today, and immediately helped him onto the chariot. Because he was afraid that he would regret it, Eunuch Liu immediately asked the young eunuch carrying the chariot to go towards Zhengyang Palace.

In the past, Marquis Wenyang might have knelt down in front of the Zhengyang Palace without hesitation, but today he was found before dawn with his servants.

Xiaotuanzi was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, but he still hugged his neck and gently rubbed him to comfort him silently. The tweets said that only if he is healthy can he go to Jingzhou to pick up his grandmother's bones. The old wife suffered too much during her lifetime. After her death, she could not be left alone in a foreign land without even a decent burial ground.

He must not fall down before putting his old wife to rest!

Emperor Jingming stood in front of the main hall, and the raindrops falling along the eaves inevitably splashed on the dragon robe.

The little eunuch with his head hanging down behind saw it but didn't dare to say anything. He just hoped that Eunuch Liu would come back soon. It was very hot yesterday, but today it is cooler. If it is hot and cold, if His Majesty's body is damaged, they will not be able to afford it even with ten lives.

In the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, officials from Dali Temple had already presented all the evidence, and several people stood in a row in silence, waiting for His Majesty's instructions.

Mr. He walked slowly behind Emperor Jingming and persuaded him to enter the palace: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Emperor Jingming came back to his senses: "I know that Marquis Wenyang is a man who knows how to measure things. I'm just thinking about how many such things can happen under my nose. How many people like this are there in places where I can't see them? Tragedy?"

Lord He, as the minister of Dali Temple, was deeply touched by this, and he replied in a low voice: "Because of this, the existence of the laws of the Zhou Dynasty has the meaning, and it is also the meaning of our being officials. Naturally, we will share the worries of your majesty when the world is unfair." "

Emperor Jingming had a smile on his face: "Ai Qing, you are so enlightened. I personally tried the case of Mrs. Wenyanghou. Wenyanghou dedicated most of his life to the Zhou Dynasty, but his wife was murdered under my nose. , and almost got into the entire Hou Mansion."

"If these two vicious women cannot be severely punished, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

There is a mountain of ironclad evidence that Zheng Xiulan and Wen's heinous crimes are obvious. When Marquis Wenyang and Su Junyao entered the palace, the last stroke of Emperor Jingming's imperial edict had just been written.

"Liu Debao came just in time. He brought my jade seal, sealed it, and handed the imperial edict to the Marquis." Emperor Jingming sighed inaudibly, "Marquis Wenyang, my condolences."

"I have asked Mr. He to sort out the files and read them personally. The crimes committed by the poisonous woman are too numerous to describe! I have decreed her death."

"By the way, what's the name of Zheng's son... Qiao, Qiao... forget it, it's not important. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, he will also take away the honor and never be hired!"

Emperor Jingming's words cut off Qiao Muyang's career path forever. This may be more uncomfortable for someone like Qiao Muyang, who is arrogant and wants to climb to the top of power, than letting him die directly.

The Su family was very dissatisfied with this verdict.

Wen Shi and Zheng Xiulan were executed by capital punishment. Even if such people were to be cut into pieces, it would not be a pity to die.

Marquis Wenyang knelt down and thanked Emperor Jingming: "Old minister, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness. In addition, I have a heartless request that your majesty can fulfill."

"Marquis Wenyang can just say it."

"The veteran is old and is suffering from the pain of losing his wife. His health is not as good as before. If the veteran wants to serve as an official and return home, he also has time to go out to Beijing to pick up his wife."

Marquis Wenyang burst into tears and wanted to win His Majesty's mercy. Emperor Jingming was naturally not an unreasonable person.

"I am deeply gratified that Marquis Wenyang has devoted his loyalty to the country. I am also saddened by the death of his wife. Liu Debao drafted a decree to confer the title of First-grade Lady Su Wen, Marquis Wenyang's wife, and his eldest son Su Junyao will inherit the title of marquis."

"Old minister, thank you for your grace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
