Chapter 255 Mixed joys and sorrows
Chapter 255 Mixed joys and sorrows
Before leaving, Shen You understood the emperor's intentions towards the Xue family.
Four words - don't worry.
So Shen You took the foolish girl directly, stood at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, and beat the drum to appeal for justice.
"Shen You and 106 innocent women are crying out for justice. The Xue and Rong families used witchcraft to refine evil pills and murdered 106 local women. Please, sir, please let the emperor make the decision."
Shen You's voice was so loud that it attracted everyone.
The people who live here are either rich or noble, and there are many who are not afraid of Jingzhao Prefecture.
The bailiffs hid in the mansion and dared not come out.
Your Highness, who are you?
If you have a grievance, please go to His Majesty. Why make things difficult for these little yamen runners?
Ji Yanli waved his fan and smiled at the yamen runners, "Sister Shen You was very brave when she was young, and sure enough, she is still like this now."
The bailiff thought to himself, you may be happy, but it’s suffering for us.
Look at him, he's still grinning. If you don't handle this matter well, you might lose your job.
"Open the door and welcome the princess!" Ji Yanli ordered.
The yamen runner asked, "Sir, do you really want to welcome the princess? The princess is suing the Xue family and the Rong family."
They can't afford to offend any of them.
Ji Yanli patted the yamen runner's shoulder and said, "I said - open the door."
When Ji Yanli laughed, the corners of his eyes turned downward, which meant that he was angry.
The yamen runners all knew that although their lord looked happy, he was always holding back a lot of anger in his heart, and when he was unhappy, he could scare people to death.
The yamen runners followed Ji Yanli's instructions and opened the door.
At that moment, Ji Yanli saw a princess who was pleading for the people.
There were many princesses with righteous hearts in history, but this was the first one who directly spoke up for the people.
When Shen You saw Ji Yanli, she said, "Master Ji, I want to sue the Xue family and the Rong family. They have killed women and ignored the laws of Daqian. Please get rid of this harm for the people."
The princess has no real power and no authority to do things.
But Ji Yanli did have it, as he was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Of course, no one expected him to do anything to the Xue and Rong families. The most important thing was to make the matter bigger.
Ji Yanli stared at Shen You for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go to the court."
Ji Yanli slammed the gavel and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Shen You presented the evidence he had compiled and said, "Here are the remaining medicine residues and the personal belongings of Miss Rong that were found in the place where they made the evil medicine. Outside are 106 girls who were brutally murdered. There are witnesses and evidence."
The Su family helped to search for the physical evidence and delivered it to Shen You at full speed.
Just when Ji Yanli was about to reach out to touch the physical evidence, Shen You took his hand back, and his meaning was very clear: you are not allowed to touch it, so as to avoid damaging it.
Ji Yanli was not embarrassed and continued the trial.
Actually, what is there to review?
There was nothing he could do.
After all, he didn't have the right to directly bring Rong Jing and the head of the Xue family over.
This day was very grand.
Almost everyone in the capital city knows that there is a princess named Shen You who pleads for the people.
"Do you know? She's the adopted daughter of the Emperor a while ago."
"Isn't her name Shen You? Our emperor's last name seems to be Shen too. How could we say they are destined to be together? They are like real father and daughter."
"Really? I even went to see the princess secretly. Her skin was very fair and she was very pretty."
At night, Shen You and Zhou Ning, who had just arrived, lay in the same bed, worrying about not having enough money.
The situations of these 106 girls are different. Some are conscious and no different from normal people, but most of them are unwilling to return to the place that ruined them.
Some are sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused.
What’s worse, they have no ability to take care of themselves.
"Aning, I have no money left, how can I support them?" Shen You asked while rummaging through his own small piggy bank.
Zhou Ning thought it was no big deal: "Just give me something to eat."
Shen You asked, "That also costs money, and some people... can't even go to the toilet, what should I do?"
Zhou Ning and Shen You sighed at the same time.
"By the way, you know about Ke Chu's incident." Shen You said cautiously, afraid that An Ning would be sad.
Zhou Ning was also moved by Ke Chu and A Niang's love story, but she was not too sad, after all, they had only met a few times: "This can be considered another kind of happy ending."
If there is an underworld, they should have met each other.
Unexpectedly, what he received the next day was not news from Jingzhao Prefecture, nor a summons from the Emperor, but news from Cui Zhien.
There was a traitor under Choi Ji-eun's command, who stabbed her from behind during the battle. The army didn't suffer a crushing defeat, but it was still pretty bad.
If General Ji had not rested well and taken over, the enemy would have marched all the way south to attack the capital.
When the news came, Choi Ji-eun had already been carried back to Choi Mansion in the capital.
The person is not dead yet.
But it's soon.
This is to let the family see each other for the last time.
As the only daughters, Zhou Wan and Zhou Ning naturally had to show their filial piety.
Before leaving, Shen You also prepared ginseng and cotton clothes. It was already late autumn, and he was worried that Zhou Wan would be cold while pregnant.
Zhou Ning and Zhou Wan hurried over and saw Cui Wangmei lying on Cui Zhien crying like a tearful person.
Cui Jianhe was trying to comfort her, but she didn't know what to do and just wiped away her tears.
Zhou Ning said, "Sister Wangmei, please don't be sad for now. It will hurt your body."
Although Wangmei is considered Aning's stepmother, she really can't call her that and has never changed her words.
"Aning, see your father for the last time. Awan, he hasn't seen his grandson yet." Cui Wangmei had no children, so she truly loved these two children.
It may seem a little weird, but the kid is a good kid.
Zhou Ning took Cui Zhien's pulse and found it was weak, but not beyond saving.
Zhou Ning gave the acupuncture right away.
When Cui Wangmei saw Zhou Ning giving her an injection without saying hello, she was so scared that she hiccuped.
"A Ning, this is..."
Cui Wangmei had heard about Zhou Ning's medical skills, but she thought it was just a girl's hobby, studying on her own, and she didn't expect her to be so good.
Zhou Wan believed in A Ning very much and said, "I believe in A Ning."
Zhou Ning: Don’t believe it. I’m not that magical. I’m just trying it out. I’ll give it a try.
Unexpectedly, the horse really came back to life and opened its eyes slowly.
"Husband, husband, you're awake." Cui Wangmei cried.
Zhou Ning calmly gave orders, asking one person to call the imperial physician who was resting, another to get medicine, and also, there were too many people, which would affect their breathing.
And sister, your belly is so big, take a deep breath, yes, don’t get excited, ah ah ah ah, don’t get excited.
Oh my God, you are about to give birth.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wan was not excited when she knew that Choi Ji-eun was going to die, but she was almost excited to death when she knew that Choi Ji-eun was going to live.
Zhou Wan covered her stomach and blood was flowing from below.
Zhou Ning was also a little anxious.
What are you all standing there for? Find a clean room.
Zhou Ning didn't even look at Cui Zhien and went straight to deliver Zhou Wan's baby.
After all, they would worry about General Cui who brought glory to the country, but would not worry too much about the life or death of a woman.
