Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 192.

After Chen Xiaoyu pretended to be a god in Ping'an Town, she didn't go home immediately, but stayed in Fucheng for a while.

Chen Xiaoyu wanted to see the follow-up of Wu Zhizhou's case.

I heard that the imperial envoy who came to handle the case was Wu Zhizhou's brother-in-law Cui Shi'an.

When Chen Xiaoyu was in modern times, he often read some ancient officialdom novels. Chen Xiaoyu was afraid that this time and space would be the same, and would protect each other.

Chen Xiaoyu must not be reconciled to not seeing Wu Zhizhou's misfortune.

For convenience, Chen Xiaoyu bought a yard in Fucheng.

The yard is not big, with two entrances.There are only a dozen rooms in total.It cost Chen Xiaoyu 800 taels of silver.This price is neither expensive nor cheap, just within Chen Xiaoyu's budget.

What Chen Xiaoyu likes the most is that the courtyard is not far from Zuixian Tower.

The last time Chen Xiaoyu came to Fucheng, she fell in love with the dishes of Zuixianlou. This time, without Jin Cuicui chattering around, Chen Xiaoyu is lucky.

of course!Chen Xiaoyu didn't go so mad that she ate all her meals in the private room of Zuixianlou.

The consumption of Zuixian Tower is too expensive.

Even if Chen Xiaoyu is a little rich woman with several thousand taels of silver in her hand, Chen Xiaoyu still feels reluctant to eat 50 taels of silver for every meal.

Uncle Zhong went to Zuixianlou to order and pack the food for his home, three meals a day, and he never missed a single meal.

Anyway, Chen Xiaoyu and Uncle Zhong couldn't eat much. They had two to three dishes a day, and the money spent on meals in a day would not exceed five taels of silver at most.

Chen Xiaoyu can still afford this level of consumption.

Chen Xiaoyu's house is very close to Zuixianlou, and when the food is packed home, it is still warm!

When Chen Xiaoyu tried the dishes of Zuixianlou to a great extent, Wu Zhizhou's verdict came down: ransack the family and exterminate the family.

Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help clicking her tongue.

She almost forgot that this wicked feudal society is not like modern times, there is no such thing as saying that one person commits crimes and another is responsible.

It is possible to annihilate the nine clans even if the emperor is angered, not to mention ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

Thinking of Mrs. Wu whom she met not long ago, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help feeling a little pity.Mrs. Wu, who is both beautiful and intelligent, is about to be implicated to death by Wu Zhizhou.So, in this evil feudal society, not to mention reincarnation, even marrying a husband is a technical job!
After Wu Zhizhou heard the content of the imperial decree, he trembled with fright.

Cutting in half, that was the punishment second only to Ling Chi.Wu Zhizhou should be the second official who has been sentenced to be cut in half since Emperor Tianjing ascended the throne.

The last one is why use the prince's young teacher who urged the prince to rebel.Why use it? During the execution, Emperor Tianjing called all the Beijing officials to watch the execution.At that scene, blood flowed like rivers, how could it be a miserable word.

Thinking that he was about to step into the footsteps of He Biyong, Wu Zhizhou was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.

After Cui Shi'an read out the imperial decree, he asked people to put Wu Zhizhou into a big prison, and the execution will only be carried out when the Yamen guards arrest all the Wu family members from Wu Zhizhou's Laijia Xingyi Mansion and bring them to justice.

Wu Zhizhou was awakened by the sound of unlocking the prison.

"My lord, I have something to say, I want to expose my accomplices and make amends with merit." Seeing Cui Shi'an's face full of frost and preparing to leave, Wu Zhizhou hurriedly shouted.

According to the laws of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, if a prisoner can expose his accomplices before execution, his crime can be reduced.

Wu Zhizhou would rather be beheaded than be cut in half. In order to reduce the punishment, Wu Zhizhou had no choice but to drag people into the water against his conscience.

Wu Zhizhou had already planted the foreshadowing, just to find a scapegoat when things failed.

"Wu Zhiyuan, who do you want to expose? Think it over before you speak. If you make a false accusation, the crime will be aggravated." Cui Shian felt impatient, but still stopped.

Although Cui Shian hated Wu Zhiyuan in his heart, Cui Shian had always opposed the punishment of beheading in half.

It's a pity that Emperor Tianjing didn't want to abolish this punishment, saying that a heavy punishment could deter a large group of people.

"My lord, the person I want to sue is Qiao Dabiao and Qiao Shoubing. The fireball that fell from the sky last time was the work of Qiao Shoubing." Wu Zhizhou began to slander indiscriminately.

"Is this true?" Cui Shian was shocked.

Cui Shi'an knew about Emperor Tianjing's heart disease.

The "fireball from the sky" burned the official warehouse, making Emperor Tianjing suspect how bad he was as the emperor, so he made God dissatisfied and threw a fireball on the granary?
If the fire hadn't been extinguished immediately by "rain from the sky", Emperor Tianjing would have been so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Today, Wu Zhizhou actually said that the "fireball from the sky" was man-made?
If this is the case, this is really great news for the Xuanyuan Dynasty!
"My lord, everything I've said is true. If you don't believe me, you can call Qiao Dabiao for questioning. The fireball before was fired from the red cannon of the Huwei Army." Wu Zhizhou said half-truthfully.

Wu Zhizhou played a little trick.

The gunner Zhou Dazhuang was just a small person. If Wu Zhizhou told the truth, he had bribed Zhou Dazhuang to use the red cannon to fire the fireball and burned the official warehouse.

It's different when it comes to Qiao Dabiao.

Qiao Dabiao's rank is comparable to that of Wu Zhizhou, and there is no master-slave relationship at all.The cannon in red was something from Qiao Dabiao's barracks. To tear Qiao Dabiao off his horse would definitely take half of the blame for Wu Zhizhou.

"Wu Zhiyuan, think about it clearly. If you make a false accusation, the crime will be aggravated and you will be sentenced to death by Ling Chi. If it is true, I will report it to the Holy Majesty, and please be judged by the Holy Majesty." Cui Shian said after pondering for a while.

Cui Shian did not dare to say that Emperor Tianjing would definitely commute Wu Zhizhou's sentence.

After all, what Wu Zhizhou did has violated Emperor Tianjing's bottom line.Cui Shi'an didn't know whether Emperor Tianjing would hate and poison Wu Zhiyuan.

"I didn't make a false accusation, it was Qiao Dabiao who did it. After Qiao Dabiao took office, he and I were inseparable. Qiao Dabiao took 3000 taels of silver from reselling grain." Wu Zhizhou swore.

Wu Zhizhou was inherently cold and cold, for his own sake, Wu Zhizhou would not care about Qiao Dabiao's life or death at all.

On the contrary, because Qiao Dabiao had been refusing to board Wu Zhizhou's "thief ship" before, even before he died, Wu Zhizhou thought of this tone in his heart.

Qiao Dabiao didn't know that a huge black pot was about to be pinned on his head.

Early this morning, Qiao Dabiao was watching the soldiers training.

Qiao Dabiao frowned as he passed by several red cannons.

"Second He, come out!" Qiao Dabiao pointed to a man in the training queue and shouted.

He Laoer is a centurion, and several gunners belong to He Laoer.

"See Lord Guard~!" Second He saluted Qiao Dabiao.

"What's going on here? Where are the gunners? Where did they go?" Qiao Dabiao asked, pointing to the empty cannon in red.

"Master Guard, three days ago, Zhou Dazhuang came to ask for leave with a letter from his family, saying that his mother died and he was going back to his hometown for the funeral." He Laoer said.
