Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 209 Go, steal her dowry
The people from the Imperial City Bureau were omnipresent. When someone was attempted assassination on the street, they would rush to Yongfeng Street as soon as possible.
Leng Luo immediately blocked Yongfeng Street. The common people knew very little about the subsequent news. They only knew that Lord Gu and his wife were killed and their personal servants cried their hearts out.
Many people died on the street, including a vendor selling masks.
Later, all the bodies on the street were checked and registered, and the bodies of "Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao" were carried to the Imperial City Department.
At midnight, the Imperial City Bureau sent someone to Xie's house to report the death of Xie Anfeng. Upon hearing the news that the eldest daughter and her husband were assassinated, the doorman Lao Qin sat down on the ground and cried so hard that he almost fainted.
Xie Anfeng and Xie Yuru were struck by lightning. They told Lao Qin not to tell the news to Old Madam Xie, and hurriedly followed the people from the Imperial City Bureau to the secret place where the bodies were kept.
Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu saw that there were indeed two corpses lying on the morgue bed, and the cloak with a bright red brocade background and white fox fur was exactly Xie Zhaozhao's cloak.
The white fox's fur was stained with blood, which had turned dark purple due to coagulation. It was shocking and stinging to the eyes.
Their legs suddenly went weak and tears started to flow down their cheeks uncontrollably.
"My Zhao Zhao..."
"younger sister……"
The two of them cried and stumbled to the morgue bed, and threw themselves beside "Xie Zhaozhao" at the same time.
The crying stopped suddenly.
Isn't this Zhao Zhao?!
Xie Yu was even more shocked. Even though a knife had pierced through her heart and her face was covered in blood, he still recognized this woman!
This is Han Zhu, who was driven out of Xie Mansion five years ago. She is his head maid and he is very familiar with her.
Looking at "Lord Gu" again, it was not the real person, but Luo Cong who was driven out of Xie Mansion five years ago.
Xie Yu immediately understood that these two people wearing their sister and brother-in-law's clothes were scapegoats.
This is my sister's handwriting.
Although he didn't know how his sister did it, a warm feeling surged in his heart and tears welled up in his eyes, tears of relief and emotion.
His sister was brave, resourceful and courageous, and was no longer the little girl who was always obedient.
The old fox Xie Anfeng figured out all the connections at once.
The girl and her husband are not dead!
Leng Luo knew it, and perhaps His Majesty knew it too.
The two men turned to look at Leng Luo. Commander Leng had a serious look on his face. He walked up to them, drew out his Tang sword, and slashed the two men's faces dozens of times.
Now no one can tell who died.
At the hour of Mao, all officials went to court. Xie Anfeng, Xie Anhuai and Xie Yu went to court as usual. The three of them looked sad.
Almost everyone in the court knew the news of Lord Gu’s murder. Everyone sighed and looked sad.
They came to comfort Xie Anfeng, Xie Anhuai and Xie Yu.
When the morning court session began, the ministers waited for a long time before they saw Emperor Hui come to court.
Duke Cheng'en and the Crown Prince's party quickly stole a peek at Emperor Hui's expression. It looked like Emperor Hui had not had a good rest, as his face was gloomy and he looked worried.
As expected, as soon as he entered the court, Emperor Hui started to speak in a rage: "Investigate! Find the murderer who killed Lord Gu within three days!"
Jingzhao Yin, the Minister of Justice, and Leng Luo all knelt on the ground, sweating profusely!
Afterwards, Emperor Hui sent people to the Huguo Temple to invite Living Buddha Yuanji and the abbot to perform a ritual for Lord Gu and his wife, Mrs. Xie.
"I want them to be resurrected!" As soon as Emperor Hui said this, all the officials in the court looked at him.
Resurrection from the dead? Is your majesty crazy?
Yu Da Ren, the censor, was responsible for investigating the misconduct of all officials, including Your Majesty. He had no choice but to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, reviving the dead will only waste people's money and time, and arouse suspicion among the people..."
As soon as he said this, other officials immediately joined in the discussion.
Emperor Hui, who was always gentle and open-minded, suddenly lost his composure and said angrily: "How dare you question my will?"
It was not the same as an adult's argument. Emperor Hui said, "Take him away and give him thirty lashes."
When the leader of the imperial guards came in to pick up the person, he found that His Majesty had his arms resting on the dragon table, with his fingertips facing each other inward in the shape of an "eight" character, and he knew what His Majesty meant.
If the fingertips are facing each other, it hurts but not hurts. If the fingertips are turned outward, no life will be spared.
Poor Lord Yu, before he could even shout "mercy" he was dragged away by the imperial guards waiting at the door and beaten with thirty boards.
Lord Yu was a weak civil servant, and he fainted from fright after being beaten with thirty sticks.
Those "ministers" no longer dared to second the motion and looked at each other in bewilderment. Your Majesty really relied too much on Lord Gu. Now that Lord Gu died, Your Majesty was so sad that he lost his composure.
Emperor Hui then made another stupid move: "Hua Zisheng, inform Xie Mansion and Bo Mansion that they are not allowed to hang mourning banners."
Xie Anfeng hurriedly stepped out of the line, with a sad face, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, this, I have lost my beloved daughter and son-in-law, and the Bo family has lost their beloved son and daughter-in-law. Even the funeral banners cannot be hung. Those who know that Your Majesty does not allow it, and those who do not know think that the two families are cruel..."
"No, I asked Living Buddha Yuanji to revive them. If you hang funeral banners, their souls will be blocked from entering the palace."
Everyone sighed inwardly, thinking that His Majesty was truly crazy.
Xie Anfeng finally couldn't hold back his tears and knelt down to beg: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. I will obey your order and will not hang mourning banners... But the dead cannot be resurrected, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
All the ministers knelt down and repeatedly asked the emperor to "take care of his health."
The prince was so happy that his heart was bubbling with joy. Humph, it would be great if the man named Gu died and his father went crazy.
Duke Cheng'en looked at Emperor Hui, who was so sad as if his own son had died, and he was so happy that a little person in his heart was dancing wildly.
With Gu Shaoyu's death, half of Emperor Hui's world fell. If Emperor Hui fell ill and became the former emperor, and the prince ascended the throne, the Wei family could be worry-free for at least 50 years.
The current plan is for the prince to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible.
Whenever he thought of his legitimate son, he thought of his two deceased grandsons, and he hated Emperor Hui even more.
Emperor Hui felt uncomfortable being on top, and Duke Cheng'en felt uncomfortable being below, and both wished that the other could become their "ancestor".
At noon, Hua Zisheng went to Xie Mansion and Bo Mansion to announce His Majesty's order: Elder Gu and his wife Xie have suffered misfortune, and I am heartbroken. I have ordered Living Buddha Yuanji to perform a ritual. Bo Mansion and Xie Mansion are not allowed to hang mourning banners, and look forward to the resurrection of Elder Gu and his wife.
This decree confused the old ladies of the two mansions.
Madam Xie asked, "Butler Hua, what does this mean? Can Living Buddha Yuanji really bring my granddaughter and grandson-in-law back to life?"
Hua Zisheng comforted her, "Old Madam, whether it is possible or not, it is all His Majesty's wish, isn't it?"
"Yes," Mrs. Xie burst into tears.
How can the dead be resurrected? Your Majesty is simply so heartbroken that he has lost his mind.
The entire Xie Mansion was filled with crying again. Second Madam Xie cried and said that God was unfair, and that such good people as the eldest daughter and her husband died young. She cried and fainted, and several maids carried her back to the courtyard.
Several maids around Old Madam Xie helped the old lady back to Wutong Garden. The old lady cheered up and told each room: "The eldest lady and the son-in-law were hated by the traitors because of their loyalty to the court. They were murdered. Gather all the strength of our Xie Mansion and cooperate with His Majesty to kill the thieves with all our strength!"
Xu only received the news of Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu's death in the morning, and she didn't believe it at first.
But there was crying in Wutong Garden, and Xie Anfeng and the old lady's sadness was not fake.
She was ecstatic and clasped her hands together.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhaozhao was killed by thieves!
Then her huge dowry would have to go to the Bo's Mansion, but it was a pity that Gu Chengyan was a useless boy and was deprived of the qualification to inherit the title. Otherwise, the dowry would have fallen into Xiangxiang's hands sooner or later.
No, the dowry she had coveted for half her life was given to that scoundrel Tu. She had to find a way to give it to her daughter.
Right now, the Bo's Mansion doesn't even have a backbone who can take charge of things, so it's not difficult for an expert to steal.
Now that someone has just died and everyone is in a mess, pick out the valuable things and move them away first.
Borrow two experts from the palace and inform Xiangxiang to smash open Xie Zhaozhao's dowry warehouse tonight!
