For several days in a row, several major cases were involved because of Mrs. Jiang's attempt to commit suicide.

Under the prince's order for a thorough investigation, a bloody storm broke out throughout Yongzhou City.

The Zhou family succeeded the Lin family and became the bullies in Yongzhou City. They used the name of the crown prince to dominate and dominate. Everyone in the city hated them, but they were afraid of Li Beimo's reputation and dared not speak out.

Unexpectedly, on the first day after the prince came back, he would kill the five clans of the Zhou family. People were surprised and applauded at the same time.

Master Zhou is the direct descendant of the family and has two younger brothers. After Master Zhou was killed by Dou Shizhi, his only daughter also died in childbirth. Dou Shizhi inherited the property of the Zhou family.

Master Zhou's two concubines were not good people, so they wanted to drive him away so that they could take back the Zhou family's property. However, because of Mrs. Jiang's intervention, they did not dare to offend the prince's people, and instead went to please Dou Shizhi.

Dou Shizhi spent a lot of money, hoping to get an official position in the court, but the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was an upright official and did not buy his account at all.

What's more, the appointment of officials above the fifth rank must be personally approved by the emperor. In order to prevent anyone from impersonating, the details of each official's eight generations of ancestors must be clearly investigated. He cannot withstand interrogation at all.

But he doesn't like official positions below the sixth rank, so! Dou Shizhi and Shi Wenkai both wanted to use Mrs. Jiang to get Li Beimo to get a high-ranking official position for them.

Unfortunately!

They overestimated Mrs. Jiang's status in the hearts of the royal family and thought that Li Beimo would help them for the sake of their aunt. After all, the entire Prince's Mansion was under her control.

certainly! They also underestimated Li Beimo's ruthless methods, and he would kill his own aunt, killing them suddenly and catching them off guard.

At first, when they knew that the prince had returned to Beijing, they encouraged Mrs. Jiang and her daughter to find Li Beimo and wait at home to dream of promotion and wealth. Dou Shizhi also felt that he was one step closer to his revenge plan.

As long as he can get close to Emperor Jiahe, he can kill people with one blow.

But what they were waiting for was the belated butcher's knife of justice.

Five days later, the controversial case finally came to an end.

Although Emperor Jiahe issued an order to kill the five Zhou clans, it was the emperor's decision as to who to kill or not to kill. After the case was investigated, Emperor Jiahe finally let some of the innocent people involved go.

Shi Wenkai's mother and son were also sentenced to be beheaded, and his wife Jiang Si and other Shi family members were sentenced to exile in northern Xinjiang and were not allowed to return to Beijing in their lifetime.

When the Shi family was being taken to Northern Xinjiang, Jiang Si fell off a cliff and died while escaping because they encountered a group of robbers.

In fact, the Zhou family had too many enemies, and they all felt that everything was caused by Mrs. Jiang. They hated the mother and daughter so much that their enemies quietly followed suit.

In the end, more than 80 people were beheaded in public and taken to the market entrance for questioning.

Mrs. Jiang and Dou Shizhi were the main culprits, which greatly damaged the reputation of the Prince's Palace. Emperor Jiahe would never allow his son to have any stain.

First, he issued an edict to announce their crimes to the world, and then ordered the two men to be dragged on horses and paraded around Yongzhou City, and their bodies hung at the south gate for ten days.

As they were being dragged through the streets, the onlookers threw stones and vented their anger.

The following government officials didn't care. Anyway, these two people had been sentenced to death, so as long as they didn't block their way.

When they returned from a circuit around the city, Mrs. Jiang had been dragged to death, and Dou Shizhi was also dying. The two were finally strangled by the neck and hung to the south city gate.

The case was settled, the bad guys were punished, and the prince's righteous act of annihilating his relatives won praise from both the government and the public.

"Princess, this morning, Shi Yuyue came to our prince's residence, knelt down and kowtowed several times at the door of the residence, thanking the prince for avenging his mother for him."

While Dongyue was helping Cheng Qingqing comb her hair, she told her about Shi Yuyue coming to kneel down to thank her.

"Then what's going on with him now?" Cheng Qingqing was a little surprised.

She knew about the exile of the Shi family, but this Shi Yuyue was not implicated? After all, he became Shi Wenkai's "gunner".

Just as Dongyue was about to speak, she saw Li Beimo walking in wearing a prince's uniform, "Go down!"

"Yes!" Dongyue put down her comb and exited.

"It's time to go to court." Cheng Qingqing looked at the man in the mirror.

"Yes." Li Beimo picked up the comb and put her hair into a bun.

"Shi Yuyue was not implicated. It was his father who wanted his mother to be killed, and he was also forced to take the exam, so he spared no effort and returned part of the Shi family's property to him. My father has always cherished talents. , and also asked him to enter the Hanlin Academy and become a shujishi, hoping that he could use his talents."

"This way, we haven't buried a single talent." Cheng Qingqing said.

She knew that the title Shujishi was not an official position and had no rank. It was just a candidate.

But the Hanlin Academy is the emperor's secretarial agency and a typical cradle of high-ranking officials. Those who can enter are those with real talents and learning.

For example, Prime Minister Fan and other high-ranking officials have all served as commoners.

"The weather is good today. Let's go to the Royal Temple today." Li Beimo inserted a bead flower into her hair. Looking at her in the mirror, he felt that his hair-doing skills were getting better and better.

"Yeah." Cheng Qingqing nodded.

I hope that Master Wu Yan is really capable and can see through her fate and give her a fortune.

The two of them had something to eat together, and then asked someone to call Linghu Yuan and Luo Qin, and they took a carriage to the royal temple together.

The royal temple Chongmen Temple is located fifty miles outside Beijing. It is the largest temple in Fengjin Kingdom and is said to have a history of more than 2000 years.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Several people got off the carriage and looked up to see the looming temple on the mountain.

In my ears, I could faintly hear a distant ringing of bells, as well as the sound of Sanskrit chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name.

"I heard that there is a sacred object enshrined in Chongmen Temple, which is the relic of the emperor who has been practicing for more than 1 years. I wonder if it is true?" Luo Qin said.

"Yes or no, we'll know when we go up and take a look." Linghu Yuan waved a fan in his hand and walked up the steps first.

Li Beimo arranged the fox fur on Cheng Qingqing's body, "Put your hat on, the wind on the mountain is a bit strong, be careful of catching cold."

"I'm not so delicate anymore." Cheng Qingqing took his hand, "Let's go up!"

"Let's go!" Li Beimo wrapped his big palm around her little hand and walked up the mountain.

Cheng Qingqing looked around and said, "There are a lot of tourists up there. Why don't you see anyone on this road?"

"This road is a royal passage. Before we came, we notified the temple abbot and cleared the people away." Li Beimo told her.

"All right!"

Although the mountain is high, the place where the temple is located is not too high. They followed the extended stone road and saw a towering and ancient temple after walking for three minutes.

This temple is nestled under several vigorous pine trees, giving it a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

"Let's go in! Master Wuyan knows that we are coming and may already be waiting for us." Li Beimo said.
