When Liu Boyi and Liu Zhonghe returned to Ruidu, the people of Ruidu who were lined up to "welcome" threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves all over their bodies.

Duke Wu Guogong was not displeased at all. Instead, he dismounted his horse on Zhengyang Street and knelt forward step by step.

"There are unfilial descendants in the family, but my Liu family has no way of educating them."

He knelt and shouted all the way, his expression even more sad and sad.

Liu Zhonghe, who was in the prison car behind him, knelt down in the car the whole time, his hair disheveled, and blood foam oozing from the whip marks on his body.

Yunling watched from the teahouse and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at this style, they are really willing to spend a lot of money."

Zhou Qiong walked to her side, looked at the activities below from the window, and said: "Ever since I was a child, I have always seen the Liu brothers in high spirits. They criticized my grandfather in the court, which is what they do every day. When we bumped into each other on the street, we couldn't help but make sarcastic comments, and often said some heart-wrenching words to irritate us... Seeing the Liu brothers like this today, it's really a bit unfamiliar."

"They deserve it. Especially that Liu Zhenghui, he is really immoral. Only such a family can raise such a son who harms others and himself."

After Yunling finished complaining, she asked, "Will your Majesty punish the Liu family? Will you deprive them of their official positions and titles?"

Zhou Qiong pondered for a moment and shook her head, "No, there is a Zhongwu Army behind the Liu family after all. They only obey the orders of the Liu family. Your Majesty's desire to take over is not something that happens overnight. If Beirong invades the country, Your Majesty will still be Zhongwu Army." The army protects the country."

Yunling didn't quite understand what was going on in the court, so she felt a little unhappy when she heard this, "No punishment at all?"

"It will be possible, but it will probably be just a loud thunder and a small amount of rain."

Zhou Qiong said, her eyes falling on Wu Guogong who was walking all the way, "The Liu brothers also know this, so they are using the bitter trick now."

"Look at this line of blood and suffering. It not only shows to the world that Duke Wu has acknowledged his mistakes and repented, but also gave His Majesty a step to lift up and put down gently. It even used the tragic scene to make His Majesty take a breath of bad breath."

Yunling was a little annoyed, "I thought you could defeat them in one fell swoop this time."

Zhou Qiong turned around and tapped her nose, "Take your time, you have to calculate the accounts bit by bit. If you do it all at once, it will be less fun, right?"

After saying that, he changed the subject and asked: "When grandma and the others arrive, I will come to your house to hire you, okay?"

Yunling thought about the wedding gift a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't have to be so fast, right?"

She knew that people in ancient times got married early, and originally thought that they could get married when they were eighteen years old, but it seemed a little impossible.

"Why is it too early? You have to make up for your haircut gift before I'm hired. Once the steps for hiring Najib are completed, it won't be until the end of the year anyway."

As he talked, Zhou Qiong became a little irritable, "These people in Qintian Prison don't know how to calculate the days. Several auspicious days are at the end of the year, and the best one is after the new year."

Although he was anxious to marry his sweetheart home, he still cared about these details.

When you marry the girl you love, you naturally want the best arrangements.

This was the first time Yunling heard him mention the date, and she breathed a sigh of relief thinking that there were still several months until the end of the year.

It's good at the end of the year, I can get some repayment at the end of the year.

Part of the silver earned some time ago was given to Wen Da's military adviser to continue building ships and expanding sea roads, and part was given to Qingzhou to build breeding farms and build bridges and roads to integrate transportation roads.

The last part was given to the eldest prince by his father.

No matter what you do, you can't do it without money.

Seeing how easily the eldest prince took over King Xiang's army, he must have had some credit for opening the way.

Originally, this money can be earned slowly, but if it is to get married, you have to start preparing the dowry.

A few days ago, she inquired about the dowry of Duke Rui Du's family, and her head felt as big as a bucket.

The Tang family is not as rich as those aristocratic families, and the few things they bring out are worth a fortune. If they want a few dowries that can support the scene, they can only buy them at high prices.

Thinking of this, Yunling looked at Zhou Qiong sadly.

Ever since she met this man, it seemed that no matter how much money she earned, it would never be enough, and she would always be worried about money.

You won't have to live like this forever, right?

Is it too late to regret now?

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qiong didn't understand, "Don't you want to get married so early?"

Before Yunling could answer, the secret guard shouted at the door: "Master, there's something going on."

"Come in."

The secret guard came in and saw that Yunling and the Marquis were the only ones in the private room, so he told the matter directly.

"Liu Zhenghui had been lying down after finishing his meal this morning. At noon, the jailer felt something was wrong and went to see him, and found that he was dead and there was a confession written in blood beside him."

"What did you say?"

The secret guard shook his head and said, "I didn't see it. I have already sent it to His Majesty. It seems that he knew that his sin was serious and affected his family, and he was too embarrassed to face the elders in the family."

"If you wanted to die, you would have died a long time ago. Why wait until now?" Zhou Qiong raised an eyebrow, "Someone from the Liu family went to see him yesterday?"

The secret guard shook his head, "He is a serious felon and has never been allowed to see anyone. His aunt has put away a lot of money, and the jailers don't dare to let him in. It's probably just a word, but no one dares to admit it now." .”

"Homicide or suicide?"

The secret guard hesitated and said: "It should have been suicide. There were no wounds on the body, and there were no signs of poisoning. I asked the person who checked him, and he quietly told me that he had swallowed gold."

Yunling frowned, "You should have been searched when you entered the prison. Where did the gold come from?"

The secret guard said: "It is said that Liu Zhenghui lost his tooth when he was a child, so he found a craftsman to make a gold tooth for him and put it in his mouth."

He asked this question after a lot of effort.

Yunling: "..."

I didn’t expect that a gold tooth could be used in so many ways.

Seeing Zhou Qiong's calm face, as if he had expected it, Yunling couldn't help but ask, "Have you guessed it?"

Zhou Qiong shook her head, "I'm too lazy to think about this. My cousin wrote to me and told me to let nature take its course after returning to Ruidu and not to interfere with the Liu family's affairs. I guess my cousin has already figured out that the Liu family will push someone to take the blame. .”

Yun Ling sighed, "The Liu family's torture scheme has reached a new level. Even if Your Majesty wants to punish him today, he won't be too harsh for the sake of Liu Zhenghui committing suicide."

"Liu Zhenghui is Liu Zhonghe's biological son, right? Putting aside everything else, from the perspective of father and son, doesn't he fight for his son? Just choose to let him die?"

It's really cruel to let his son die in exchange for a lighter sentence.

"It's okay. Liu Zhenghui deserves to die. Such a sinner deserves to die under the knife. He deserves to die at the hands of his own relatives."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qiong couldn't help but think of another person.

"For some people, their biological son may not be as important as their own imperial hegemony."
