Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Yanyan let Yuzhu help her get onto the carriage. Seeing Zhou Yanze still standing there, she helplessly waved at him. Seeing his excited response, she lowered the curtain, leaned back on the pillow, closed her eyes and ate the osmanthus cake prepared by Yuzhu.

The carriage swayed slowly towards the government office, and on the way, it encountered a team of runners from the Ministry of Justice. They searched every house, even opening up the stalls next to them to check.

Yanyan felt the carriage shake and stop, and couldn't help asking, "What happened to Liu Wu? Why did it stop suddenly? Is there an assassin?"

Liu Wu then came back to his senses and said, "The princess has no assassins. The guards from the Ministry of Justice are leading people to search!"

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Oh! What's the matter? Why are you mobilizing so many people and investigating so thoroughly?"

Liu Wu said, "The princess and the others didn't come. We have many guards here, so they don't dare to cause trouble for you. It may just delay some time."

Liu Yanyan raised her hand to lift the curtain, and saw that the guards had surrounded the carriage tightly. Then she looked at the several yamen runners from the Ministry of Justice.

A bailiff felt someone was looking at him and was about to start cursing when he saw the palace's carriage parked nearby.

He hurriedly called for someone to follow him and bow, "Your servant greets the princess."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Stand up! What's going on? Why are you mobilizing so many people? Is there something wrong with someone important? Do you need help?"

The bailiff then stood up and said, "I am only following orders to search for the fugitive, and I don't know what crime this man has committed." He then held up a highly exaggerated portrait.

Liu Yanyan looked at the portrait of a man in black, moving through the woods like a ghost, with no face visible, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please make way. I'm going to be late for the government office."

The leading yamen runner finally came to his senses and waved for them to move aside. "Princess, please."

Seeing that the road was cleared, Liu Yanyan lowered the curtain, leaned back on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.

The carriage swayed forward, and Yanyan leaned on the pillow of the carriage, thinking that they might be looking for Liu Wu! Could this kid Liu Wu have been seen by someone?

Liu Wu's hands were shaking slightly as he waved the horsewhip. He watched a few yamen runners pass by before he relaxed.

yamen

Liu Yanyan sat behind the desk, looking at the texture of the blue and white porcelain on the table and said, "It's not cleaned up? There are clues left?"

Liu Wu knelt on the ground with a plop. "I have dealt with it. They may have seen me when I came back yesterday. I deserve to die. I deserve to die. Please punish me, princess."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently. "Ah (?o﹏o?), just deal with it cleanly. Just be quiet these few days and it will be fine after a while. By the way, have you found out what the medicine in the bottle is?"

Liu Wu took out the porcelain bottle with trembling hands and said, "Princess, you guessed correctly. This porcelain bottle contains a deadly poison. Fortunately, Princess, you asked him to check it out. This person did not want to save anyone at all. Instead, he wanted to poison Zhao Ma and kill her together. He might even want to kill someone else with someone else's knife."

Liu Yanyan smiled knowingly and said, "As expected, Gu Beichen is selfish and would never risk saving someone who harmed the General's Mansion, even if that person was his own brother. It was I who miscalculated and almost fell into his trap. Fortunately, I didn't touch the medicine."

Liu Wu was shocked and said, "It was my fault that I didn't handle it properly. Please punish me! I am willing to accept the punishment."

Liu Yanyan looked at Liu Wu with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and said, "I'll fine you 30 strokes. Go get 10 strokes every day. You must be careful in what you do in the future. It won't be easy to avoid it next time."

Liu Wu bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I will accept the punishment."

Liu Yanyan had a helpless look on her face and waved gently to signal him to get up.

Liu Wu then stood up and walked to the side to watch, holding the porcelain bottle in his arms, his face becoming more and more serious.

Liu Yanyan had a cold face and ignored Liu Wu. She just looked at the file in her hand quietly. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Liu stepped forward and saluted, "Princess, the Lord Wang from the next courtyard wants to see you."

Yanyan put down the wolf-hair brush in her hand, restrained the emotions on her face, and said with a smile, "Oh! Shuhui is here, please come in."

Shuhui then entered the room and bowed, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Yanyan hurried forward, pulled Shuhui up and joked, "No need to be polite, sit down, Shuhui, why did you want to come to see me today?"

Shuhui sat on the chair beside her, holding a handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth that were difficult to suppress. "Yanyan, do you know? Li Lan's husband Wang Hai got his comeuppance, did you know? He made a big joke yesterday, and now it's all over Beijing. From now on! He won't be able to go out anymore. I'm afraid that if he goes out, the spit will drown him."

Liu Yanyan became interested and said with a smile, "It's Li Lan's husband Wang Hai who gambles, visits brothels, and keeps a mistress. Can you tell me what the retribution is? I don't believe it at all. I want to hear what the retribution is."

Shuhui laughed for a long time before she spoke, "Yanyan, you don't know, he can't do that. He went to brothels and spent a lot of money to hire an Oiran, but nothing worked. The Oiran was thrown out. A lot of people were watching, and the news spread quickly. It spread all over the capital, and now even the peddlers and hawkers on the street probably know about it."

Liu Yanyan covered her mouth with her white jade fan, and was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. It took her a long time to find her voice again, "That courtesan is so bold! Throwing him out, he is a son of an official, how dare they do that! Are they risking their lives?"

"It's not like he was thrown out. The two of them were flirting, and the candlelight reflected on the window frame, and someone was eavesdropping outside. They didn't get to the point, and they were kissing passionately at the door. He didn't react and fell out. When he saw people watching, he ran away with his pants in his hands."

Liu Yanyan looked at Shuhui with a teasing expression, "How can we be sure that he can't do it? What if he just isn't interested?"

"I don't know. It was just spread from the building. They said he couldn't do it. I think it's almost certain. Otherwise, why would he run away?"

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly and said, "Li Lan is decisive, but I don't know if Wang Hai will doubt her. She acted quite quickly."

"You said it was Li Lan who did it? No way. She looks so gentle, speaks softly, and even cries and looks weak. You can tell at a glance that she's not a cruel person."

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Think about her family. Does she have any illegitimate children? There shouldn't be any! Is it possible that even the concubines can't do it?"

Shuhui was shocked. "You mean, her mother gave her advice? That's too cruel."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I didn't say anything. Wang Hai deserves the retribution. It's his fault for not being able to control himself."

"Yan Yan is right. He is getting his comeuppance. It is only a matter of time before such a rotten person gets his comeuppance."

Liu Wu was listening nearby and couldn't help but squeeze his legs together and took two steps back.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan just chuckled and didn't say much.
