The cases involving Han Jin, Wei Heng and other related officials were decided after a few days.

As the governor of Zhejiang, Han Jin took bribes, abused his power for personal gain, forged expenditures, and made false accounts to deceive the emperor. He was sentenced to confiscate his home and beheaded in public. The emperor was kind and did not like killing, so he only beheaded criminal officials. His family members were sentenced to exile and will never be able to return. Beijing, descendants are not allowed to enter the officialdom.

After Han Jin's death, the government of Zhenguo was also involved. He was deprived of the dukedom of Zhenguo and sentenced to exile. The Han family completely collapsed and there was no chance for them to stand up again.

Wei Heng was embezzled and bribed, abused his power to create unjust, false and wrong cases, and there was more than one unjust, false and wrong case. He was sentenced to have his home confiscated, beheaded in public, his family members were exiled, and his descendants were not allowed to enter the officialdom.

For the rest of the officials, according to the severity of the crime, some had their homes confiscated and executed, their families were exiled, some were dismissed from office and imprisoned, and some were only demoted because they made minor mistakes, but they were demoted to serve as officials in remote villages. The future is basically over, unless he makes good political achievements, attracts the emperor's attention, and captures the Sacred Heart again.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, this is the second time such a big war has been carried out, so many officials have been dealt with at once, and even the Zhenguo Palace, which has lasted for more than a hundred years, has been lost. This shocked the government and the public, but many people have also become more active. Zhejiang is rich. The land suddenly has so many vacancies, which is a good opportunity for many people, especially those officials who want to go abroad.

The common people applauded. For them, it didn't matter who was the emperor or the official. What was important was that the court allowed them to live a good life. If there were moths in the court, it would affect the people. Getting rid of the moths was for the people. Get rid of harm.

Because of Wei Heng, many people think of Mei Qingyun again. This talented and beautiful woman used to be Wei Heng's wife, but she was abandoned because she had no children for many years. Now that Wei Heng was convicted and the Wei family was exiled, she was He was abandoned and had nothing to do with the Wei family anymore, so he escaped the disaster.

"The Mei family girl is really lucky."

"Isn't that right? Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. He didn't kill his family members. He just sentenced him to exile. But whether he survived to the place of exile is still a question. Even if he survived, he would live a hard life for the rest of his life. The Mei family girl doesn't have to go through these hardships."

"I used to think that given her age and inability to have children, it would be difficult for her to find a good husband. With her ex-husband's affairs, even if she marries into a decent family, it will be much better than suffering with the Wei family."

"How can you just marry into a decent family? You must be careful and choose the right one. Since she was divorced and returned to the Mei family, the threshold of the Mei family has been broken by matchmakers. There are many people proposing marriage to the Mei family. .”

"I heard that the most beautiful woman back then is still as beautiful as ever. It won't be difficult to get married again. It doesn't matter if she can't give birth. After all, those who remarry at this age are all men who already have children."

When Mei Qingyun came out of the teahouse, she heard all the people's comments.

Nowadays, matchmakers do often come to propose marriages, but she is not satisfied with any of them. The only one she thinks is from a good family, and is only seven or eight years older than her, not very old. Moreover, she is still begging to marry her as his wife, but she is a lustful one. , there are more than ten or twenty concubines and maidservants in the house, including many concubines and concubines.

I heard that the first wife became jealous and angry because her husband was so philandering and loved each other, which made her sick, and eventually she died.

Such a man is not even as good as Wei Heng. Her sister-in-law actually thinks it is good and persuades her to marry, saying that there are no men who are not lecherous, and lustful ones are normal. Being able to have so many concubines proves that a man is capable. Only if he is not Only a capable man can't take a concubine, and she says it's good for a man to have more children, since she can't have them anyway. If a man has many children, she won't have the pressure to carry on the family line.

She was really angry!

"Sister Qingyun."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the front. Mei Qingyun raised her eyes and saw Mrs. Jingan Hou walking towards her with a smile.

When Mei Qingyun saw her, she also had a faint smile. She had heard Mrs. Jing'an Hou talking about her to others before. She didn't know what Mrs. Jing'an Hou had had with her and why she had resentment against her. But she met her two days ago. After Marquis Jingan, she understood that because Marquis Jingan had been fond of her for many years, he still wanted to take her as his concubine.

But what if she likes her? She had heard that Marquis Jing'an had several concubines, and it was impossible for her to be one of the concubines in Marquis Jing'an's harem. Even if the concubine's status was second only to his wife and higher than other concubines, after all, If she is a concubine, she has to pay respects to the principal wife. She will always be inferior to others. Who would become a concubine if the principal wife who has been married by a matchmaker has been married? Unless Yao was gone, she could seriously consider marrying her as her first wife.

When the people came closer, Mei Qingyun said: "Sister Yao, what a coincidence that I can meet you here."

Mrs. Jingan Hou said warmly: "Isn't it a coincidence? Sister, I am really happy for you."

Mei Qingyun didn't know why: "Why did Sister Yao say this?"

Madam Marquis Jing'an said: "I have heard about the Wei family. Mr. Wei will behead the day after tomorrow in public. Fortunately, he gave you a letter of divorce, otherwise you would have to go to the place of exile with the Wei family. "

After hearing this, Mei Qingyun's smile faded and she said quietly: "Sister Yao, no one can predict this kind of thing."

When Mrs. Jingan Hou saw this, she looked up to her. The couple had been in love for more than ten years. Even if they were no longer husband and wife, she would still feel sad when she heard that her ex-husband was about to be beheaded in public. She comforted her and said, "Don't worry, sister." It’s so sad, we have to look forward, there is still a long road ahead.”

Mei Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled, but did not reply.

Mrs. Jingan Hou changed the subject: "Sister, has your marriage been settled?"

Mei Qingyun looked at her with a half-smile but asked, "Why is Sister Yao so concerned about my marriage? You always ask me this question every time we meet."

Mrs. Jing'an Hou's heart tightened. This issue related to herself. She must be concerned about it. Her Marquis had two too many drinks the night before and mistook her for Mei Qingyun. He affectionately called her Yun'er and complained to her. Sincerely: "Yun'er, as long as you marry me as your concubine, I promise to be good to you all my life. For so many years, you are the only one in my heart. When I married Yao, my parents thought that Yao and I were cousins. Childhood sweetheart, the two families got married, but I don’t have any love for her."

When she heard this, her heart went cold. She and her cousin had been married for more than ten years. They had given birth to children, raised children, raised children, and managed the family. The dedication for many years was not as good as that of a married woman. As an old girl, Mei Qingyun's refusal to marry is her biggest threat. If Mei Qingyun really becomes a concubine, will her cousin look at her again?

She suppressed the anger in her heart and responded calmly: "I am also concerned about my sister's marriage, so I asked more questions. I hope my sister won't be surprised."

Mei Qingyun replied: "Thank you sister Yao for your concern, but I have no plans to marry again for the time being."
