I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 43 There is a Reborn Person in the Mansion 42
Xu Yanong remained kneeling with her hands clasped, seemingly oblivious to Yan Beiqiang's gaze, standing firm and unwavering, awaiting the Emperor's decree.

"allow."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Yan Beiqiang felt a wave of dizziness. At the same time, Fang Chong, the Grand Master of Ceremonies kneeling at the front of the line, also had a sense of foreboding.

After returning to his residence after court, Qin Shuye recounted the events that had occurred in court to Yu Muhuai, who was recuperating at Mu Ningzhai.

The fact that Yan Beiqiang and even Fang Chong were going to be dragged into this was somewhat unexpected for Yu Muhuai.

However, after returning to the Qin residence, Qin Shuye explained the various factions in the court and their complex relationships, which helped Yu Muhuai understand some of the intricacies involved.

Xu Yanong was able to focus on investigating the case, which was likely due to the Emperor's authorization.

Fang Chong, a civil official, was close to Yan Beiqiang, a military general, and had many followers. Their influence in the court was growing increasingly rampant, and the emperor could not possibly remain inactive in the face of their growing power.

Now that the Battle of Longshang City has been so horrific, the Emperor must be looking for an opportunity to suppress the Fang Yan Group.

However, Fang and Yan's groups have a long history, and it will likely be quite troublesome to shake their foundations.

In the following days, Xu Yanong mobilized all the forces of the Dali Temple, making it clear that he was determined to thoroughly investigate the case.

During this period, there were various obstacles. Because it involved a wide range of people, the emperor could not directly intervene, otherwise he was afraid that the other party would make a big fuss about it from other aspects.

Officials were uncooperative, witnesses disappeared, evidence was damaged, and a search operation was obstructed by a group of burly men.
During this period, an official from the Dali Temple was accidentally injured, Xu Yanong was nearly hit by falling wood, and an assassin entered the courtyard in the middle of the night to try to assassinate him.
To prove his innocence, Qin Shuye was not allowed to participate in the case at all. Apart from secretly sending people to protect the Dali Temple officials investigating the case, he could only wait anxiously at home for the results.

The waiting process was extremely difficult; Qin Shuye was so anxious that a large blister formed on his lip.
After recuperation, Yu Muhuai has recovered much of his energy.

But half of her face was disfigured, her hair was burned off, she had injuries, and one of her legs was completely crippled and could not be healed.

It was as if he had walked through hell and returned to the human world only to clear his name.

Since returning to Mu Ning Zhai, Yu Mu Huai saw that Mei Luo Lan Ling Zhu had been crying all day for the past two days, which made him both amused and exasperated. Instead, he had to come and comfort them.

Later, the three little girls stopped crying, and with red eyes, they served Yu Muhuai while holding back their tears.

Because her wound was not treated in time, it became infected and festered after she returned to the Qin residence. The rotten flesh had to be scraped off before medicine could be applied.

During this time, Yu Muhuai endured the pain without uttering a sound.

Seeing this, not only the three little girls, but even He Mo and Qin Shuye couldn't help but turn their heads away and secretly wipe away their tears.

In fact, Yu Muhuai only had about twenty days left in this world, so she didn't need to go through the trouble of treating her wounds.

She did all this simply to put the minds of those who cared about her at ease.

Li Cheng and the main soldiers of the Anbei Army who committed arson, murder, and looting that day have all been imprisoned. Although the ringleaders are not yet dead, they have been tortured and their crimes have been established; they are not far from death.

Yu Muhuai now only needs to wait for Yan Beiqiang's investigation results and for Cen Xiang, Liu Xiaoduo, and others to be exonerated.

Two days later, a person came to the mansion.

Qin Shuye personally led the man to Yu Muhuai's bedside.

Seeing Li Yuanyuan crying her eyes out after losing her right arm, Yu Muhuai grinned.

Thanks to Li Yuanyuan's previous serious injuries, she returned to the camp to rest and did not follow them to Longshang City, thus escaping a calamity.

Although she lost her arm, she survived, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Unfortunately, Yu Muhuai was unable to find Liu Xiaoduo's body among the pile of charred remains.

The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown.

In the Yuanchang Kingdom, the soul is said to return to its homeland, like fallen leaves returning to their roots. Aside from revenge, this was Yu Muhuai's greatest regret.

The two chatted for a long time. When Yu Muhuai saw Li Yuanyuan off, he had the guards from his mansion accompany her, carrying two whole chests of silver, jewelry, and precious stones. All of this together was enough to support their two families for generations.

Li Yuanyuan initially declined, but Yu Muhuai said in a deep voice.

"You lost your arm to save me, and Xiaoduo lost her life to save me. I owe you both, but I can only repay you with a little money. If you still don't accept this, then I can only repay you with my life."

Hearing such serious words, Li Yuanyuan was startled and quickly agreed.

Suddenly, a group of well-dressed people arrived at the beggars' hut in the city.

They were dressed neatly, with weapons at their waists, and looked like servants from a grand mansion.

"Who is Ah Niu?" the leader asked.

Upon hearing this, a little boy immediately looked up, then timidly shrank back, his eyes darting around, and tucked his neck in, preparing to sneak away.

Several servants rushed over and stopped him.

"No, no, no, don't hit me! I'm just begging, I never steal!"

Ah Niu covered his head with his hands, a very familiar action, protecting his vital parts, clearly an experience gained from being frequently beaten.

Upon seeing this, the servant couldn't help but laugh.

"Aniu, don't be afraid. We were sent by General Qin. To thank you for saving Xiaoyu, General Qin will give you two choices."

First, I'll give you a sum of money; second, I'll take you to the military camp, where you'll be provided with food and lodging.

Ah Niu looked up, his eyes shining brightly against his dirty face.

"I... I can have food and lodging, and... I can even go to the military camp?"

"Yes, but life in the military is tough, you have to undergo rigorous training, and once you make the decision, you can't go back on your word."

Ah Niu nodded repeatedly. He took a few steps forward, afraid that the person in front of him would abandon him.

"I can do it! I can endure hardship, I'm not afraid of anything, please take me with you!"

The group nodded and then left with Ah Niu.

"Little Fish, how is Little Fish? Who is she? Why does she know the General?"

The group exchanged glances but didn't elaborate, only saying that he would find out later.

Ah Niu joined the Qin family army and, years later, became Qin Shuye's right-hand man.

This is something.

Although Xu Yanong's investigation was met with numerous obstacles, with the Emperor's secret support behind the scenes, he still managed to achieve considerable success and make significant progress.

Fang Chong and Yan Beiqiang panicked. After some discussion, they decided not to wait for their deaths but to take the initiative.

Ten days before Yu Muhuai was to leave, a local vassal king, in alliance with the Anbei army, suddenly launched a rebellion.

They thought their actions were secretive and sudden, but little did they know that Yuan Linjie, who had already planted spies, had already noticed them.

The Emperor, the Qin Family Army, the Heroines Army, the Dali Temple, the civil officials of the court, and other forces conspired to lure the rebels into a trap, only to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

This rebellion came on strong but ended up being quickly suppressed, without causing much of a stir.
