After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Zeng's eyes were cold, as cold as a sharp sword that had been tempered in a cold pond.

Mrs. Xue felt a chill down her spine from the look in her eyes, and then she yelled, "Nonsense!"

She always looked down on the third wife and her son, thinking that they were parasites who depended on her first wife for survival.

When she is in a good mood, she would give them a little alms, and they should be grateful.

Therefore, when the third wife was unwilling to adopt Xue Ren'an to her, she became dissatisfied with the third wife in various ways and withheld their food, clothing and other expenses.

Later, Xue Ren'an was injured and bedridden during an argument in the martial arts field, and she didn't even pay for the doctor's visit.

She has always been arrogant, so how could she tolerate Zeng's challenge to her authority now?

She was so angry that she raised her hand and hit Zeng in the face.

Yan Changqing put his hands in his sleeves and watched everything coldly.

He knew that even if he did not take action, the Zeng family would not be bullied.

Sure enough, Xue Renan did not disappoint him.

Xue Renan stretched out his hand and grasped Mrs. Xue's arm through her sleeve.

He has been practicing martial arts for many years. Seeing his mother being bullied, how could he hold back? He increased the strength in his hands and gripped the fist tighter and tighter.

And Mrs. Xue was just a woman in the rear house.

"Let go!"

Madam Xue felt pain, but couldn't break free, so she screamed, "I told you to let go, did you hear me?!"

She was the elder, and Xue Renan said nothing, showing no intention of letting go.

She could only look at Zeng for help: "Is this the good son you taught?! The bastard who attacked his aunt!"

Zeng was unmoved and said calmly, "I just wanted to have a few nice words with you. It's you who's being too noisy."

Noisy?

Mrs. Xue wanted to jump up and down immediately, but Xue Renan held her arm and she could do nothing.

She glared at Xue Qingkong: "What are you standing there for?"

Xue Qingkong felt guilty and advised her, "Let's go back, and you should stop making trouble. If they want to leave, let them go."

When he said that, Mrs. Xue's anger immediately faded.

I'm afraid that there was indeed something strange about the death of Xue Renan's father.

Seeing that she had given in, Zeng no longer paid any attention to her.

It was Xue Qingkong's selfishness that led to the death of her husband and caused Xue Renan to lose his father at a young age.

But she had no proof.

But there is solid evidence that Xue Qingkong was selling inferior goods as good ones.

All she had to do was watch Xue Qingkong's righteous appearance being torn off and then watch his building collapse.

After leaving Xue's Mansion, the generals on the streets and alleys rushed towards Yan Changqing.

"The prince."

"Your Majesty."

Yan Changqing agreed and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"It's not hard work!"

The general gnashed his teeth and said, "Whatever Xue Qingkong ate, he must spit it out!"

This is not a matter of one person, but concerns the lives of all the soldiers of Dajing.

When we fight, what we fight for is food and equipment.

Secondly, it is the courage and determination of the soldiers to risk their lives.

Yan Changqing took Xue Renan and his mother away, but the people he brought still surrounded the Xue Mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

At the moment Xue Qingkong has not been convicted, his behavior is not against the law.

The struggle surrounding Xue Qingkong's case has begun again.

Supporters said that Prince Anle was a great general who had made outstanding military achievements, and that many soldiers had lost their lives in vain on the battlefield because they were treated like this.

If he doesn't stand up, who else can support the innocent souls who died?

Opponents say that each category should be treated separately and not confused.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

Xue Qingkong committed a crime, so naturally he should be punished by the laws of the country. Yan Changqing's actions were an act of disregarding the laws of the country and showing no respect for his elders.

Those who defended him said that the situation had changed and that one should not be lenient towards these national parasites, otherwise there would be another Xue Qingkong.

Noisy.

In the imperial city, in the imperial study.

The important officials headed by Xie Shu gathered together and were discussing the matter in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this trend cannot continue."

Grand Marshal Jiang Ce bowed and said, "One is that the Princess had people surround the Taifu Temple to check the accounts for no reason, and the other is that Prince Anle used his private soldiers to trap the Xue Mansion. If they act so willfully and lawlessly, if this continues, the privileged class will override the law and trample on the people!"

He stepped on both Qin Yaoguang and Yan Changqing in one breath, and the emperor felt a little unhappy.

The emperor thought: You know shit!

My imperial sister is the one who taught me how to paint, and her husband is the one who presented me with cold-forged armor and helped me expand my territory.

You are so capable, how come you can't do it?

However, due to the habit he had developed over a long period of time, he immediately looked at Xie Shu and asked, "Xie Aiqing, what do you think?"

It was still too early, and Xie Shu would not easily express his opinion. He tried to smooth things over while throwing out the next topic: "Your Majesty, the princess and the prince may have good intentions, but it will cause unrest in the court and the country, and it is easy to cause disputes."

Without saying who is right or wrong, he just said that the behavior itself is problematic.

The emperor did not respond, but just looked at Jiang Ce and asked, "You said that the people would be trampled upon, so are the people affected now?"

"This……"

Jiang Ce choked. He had only said it casually, but so many emperors before him didn't listen to him, yet he insisted on arguing with him about the last sentence.

"That means it's gone?"

The emperor shook his head and said in a profound tone, "Lord Jiang, the Grand Tutor taught me not to speak nonsense about anything."

"You are the Grand Chancellor who oversees all officials in the court. How can you speak without thinking?"

He lacked the majesty of an emperor, and thought the questioning was just a joke, which made Jiang Ce even more anxious, unable to go up or down.

It is obvious that the emperor favors Princess Leyang and her husband.

Seeing this, the Grand Marshal Jiang Shiguan, who was in charge of the national military power, stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty is right. The princess and her husband have never held a real position. Although they act arbitrarily, they have good intentions."

He is the father of Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing and the eldest princess have formed an alliance, and Yan Changqing represents all the soldiers in the world.

Both in public and in private, he would speak for both of them.

He glanced at Xie Shujiangce, indicating that it was not appropriate to discuss this topic any further.

Jiang Ce said, "Guo Yucheng went beyond the level of his superiors and appealed. According to the law, he should be flogged forty times."

The emperor waved his hand with a lack of interest: "You guys can do whatever you want."

Jiang Shiguan once again tried to stop him: "I think you can just record it for now, and punish Xue Qingkong for all his crimes after the trial is over."

Having said that, if Xue Qingkong is convicted one day, who will hold Guo Yucheng accountable?

Xie Shu immediately said, "Grand Marshal, this is inappropriate. It is the law of the court to appeal to a higher level and be punished. It should be carried out immediately."

"The soldiers are in a state of turmoil," Jiang Shiguan said, flicking his sleeves. "If something bad happens and everyone is angry, Lord Situ, are you up to the task?"

Xie Shu was angry.

Even though he was in charge of the Nine Ministers and even the memorials on the imperial desk had to go through his hands, he couldn't go against the military generals and nobles when faced with such a matter.

Therefore, he hated the Le Yang couple who caused these two major incidents to the core.

The eldest princess's mansion.

Hanlu and the maids had just finished setting the table when Yan Changqing arrived.
