Chapter 146: Punishment of the Zheng and Yang families
The next day, when Su Yueyao got up and was having breakfast, Cui Yiyang appeared.
"Ms. Su."
"Has the deputy commander had breakfast?" Su Yueyao asked subconsciously.
Cui Yiyang was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Yueyao's question. It was the first time that a woman was not afraid when seeing him but asked him lightly if he had eaten.
"If the deputy commander is of no use, you can sit down and eat together." Su Yueyao looked at Cui Yiyang who did not answer and said politely again.
Although he has a strong aura, when Yang Jiaqi wanted to hit her yesterday, he was the first to stand in front of her to protect her. It seems that he is not the kind of person who does things without knowing right from wrong.
He is also a close minister to Your Majesty. You can't get too close to him, but it's good not to offend him.
Yang Qianxun and others immediately looked up at Su Yueyao and Cui Yiyang. Is there something going on?
Especially when Lu Yuanjin's eyes are darting around, does the wife want to marry Deputy Commander Cui? Wow... too strong, isn't it?
Xun Haoxuan suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He hadn't gotten to the top yet! Was there going to be another competitor?
"Deputy Commander?" Su Yueyao looked at Cui Yiyang in confusion who had no reaction. She was really just grateful for his help yesterday and asked politely without any other intention. She did not make a special invitation and her lord and concubines were still there!
"Thank you, Miss Su, for your kindness. I have already had breakfast." Cui Yiyang reacted and immediately refused.
"Oh! I forgot to say thank you yesterday. Thank you for standing in front of me and protecting me when Yang Jiaqi wanted to hit me."
"You are welcome, Miss Su. His Majesty has ordered me to protect Miss Su's safety."
"Okay, I get it now."
After hearing this, Su Yueyao continued to drink the soup in the bowl without saying anything, but she found that the others were looking at her without blinking.
What? What happened? What were they looking at?
When Su Yueyao wanted to ask something, everyone lowered their heads and continued eating.
. . . . . .
Is there any strange...
After Su Yueyao finished her soup, she asked, "Sister Qianqian left early in the morning?"
"Yes, Ayao, my sister said she would go back to Yang Mansion early to check the situation, and she would send us a message if there was any news."
"That's good! Does the Deputy Commander have anything to say?" Su Yueyao looked at Cui Yiyang who was standing still and asked.
Deputy Commander Cui is also very strange today.
"Her Majesty Lady Su has issued an order to deal with Lady Zheng and the Yang family."
"So fast?" It seems that Her Majesty is a man of action. Every time she wakes up, things are dealt with. Her speed is quite impressive!
"The head of the Zheng family was dismissed from his post as Minister of Revenue, and the entire family was expelled from Fengdu. Zheng Ruoyun sent assassins to assassinate the literati and painters, and was punished to stay in the women's building until she gave birth to a girl. All the men in Zheng Ruoyun's backyard were sent to the army."
"Mrs. Yang, the Prime Minister, failed to discipline the girls strictly and was provocative. Therefore, Mr. Yang was demoted two levels to a third-rank assistant minister, and Mrs. Yang's imperial edict was downgraded to the third rank. His Majesty Yang Jiaqi originally wanted to punish her by confining her to the women's building for a year, but Mrs. Yang personally begged His Majesty, willing to exchange her third-rank imperial edict, and His Majesty finally agreed."
"But Your Majesty also considered that Lady Su had been wronged. This morning, another minister reported that the Yang family abused a concubine's daughter and was unwilling to give the concubine's daughter the assets left by her biological father. So Your Majesty asked Prime Minister Yang to hand over Lady Yang's assets and Master Yang's dowry within three days."
"Your Majesty, considering that you are the victim, let the Zheng family and the Yang family each compensate you 30,000 taels of silver."
When Su Yueyao heard this, her eyes lit up. Qianqian's dowry was there, and she also received 60,000 taels of silver. The Zheng family also left Fengdu from then on. She no longer had any enemies, and the Yang family probably wouldn't have time to mess with her in the short term.
After a good sleep, all the enemies are gone... This is so cool...
"If Miss Su is not satisfied...you can ask..."
"I am very satisfied. This is very good. I think Your Majesty must have been under a lot of pressure in dealing with the Zheng and Yang families! Su Yueyao knows that she will never cause any more trouble for Your Majesty." Su Yueyao said immediately.
When Cui Yiyang heard Su Yueyao's words, he looked at her in surprise. What a smart woman! She actually knew the difficulty His Majesty was in making the decision.
When His Majesty sent someone to deliver the message to him, he also explained that now was not the time to completely fall out with the aristocratic families, and that Su Yueyao would have to endure it for the time being.
Su Yueyao actually didn't feel aggrieved at all, because she knew that no matter how serious the assassination was, there were no casualties after all, and Zheng Ruoyun would not be sentenced to death. Besides, there was no death penalty for women here, only punishment of going to the women's building to give birth. The chance of having a girl was so low nowadays, Zheng Ruoyun was afraid that her life in the women's building would be worse than death!
I heard before that she likes to rob men the most. There must be a lot of people in Fengdu who hate her. This time, they may go to seek revenge on her.
There was not much evidence against Yang Jiaqi for instigating the crime. There was only the testimony of Lady Zheng, which was not convincing enough. It was good enough that Your Majesty sentenced her to stay in the women's building for a year. Although Yang's mother had used the imperial edict to prevent her from entering the women's building, she must have felt bad. Yang's father's official rank was demoted by two levels, and she did not believe that they had no resentment at all.
In the future! Yang Jiaqi's life will be difficult, but the key is that she can get 60,000 taels of silver. Just think about it! So happy! !
"As long as Lady Su is satisfied, His Majesty asked Lady Su when she plans to enter Fengdu? His Majesty is still waiting for you to express your gratitude in person." Cui Yiyang said.
When Su Yueyao heard this, she looked towards Yang Qianxun and them. She originally thought that it would take His Majesty at least two days to deal with these matters, and she was planning to rest at the post station for two days!
"Ayao, our injuries have stabilized. His Majesty has been waiting for two days. It's time to enter Fengdu." Yang Qianxun said.
When Su Yueyao heard what Yang Qianxun said, she knew there was no way to avoid it, so she said to Cui Yiyang, "Deputy Commander, let's go to Fengdu after lunch!"
"Okay, Miss Su, I'll go and make the arrangements."
After Cui Yiyang left, Su Yueyao lay down on the table, looking a little hopeless.
"I didn't expect that Miss Su, who is in charge of the overall situation, would also be afraid sometimes?" Xun Haoxuan joked with a smile.
"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to go. There are so many things happening before I even enter Fengdu. If I go in and touch the interests of some aristocratic families, I'm afraid they will counterattack me even more."
"It's okay, the Xun family will protect you." Xun Haoxuan answered subconsciously.
When Su Yueyao heard this, she looked up at him and said with a smile, "Second Master Xun, I will take your words seriously."
Xun Haoxuan found himself saying what was in his heart: "Ahem... Of course you can take it seriously."
However, after Xun Haoxuan said this, there was no expression on his face, but the redness of his ears revealed his unnaturalness.
Yang Qianxun and the others smiled when they saw the two's behavior, and left to pack their luggage. It wasn't long before lunch.
