After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 475 Lingchi

Mrs. Xie's face was pale, and her whole body was wrapped in an indescribable grayness.

"They were trading in Michigan, and a certain steward of the Xie family came forward..." Mrs. Xie told the details of the transaction three years ago.

In fact, she didn't know much about the inside story. The person who brought about the final transaction was the Lin family. At this time, she was still trying her best to clarify the Lin family's relationship in it.

But the Minister of Dali Temple had already obtained the interrogation results of other people. He glanced at her and said, "I have told you that no matter whether you conceal it intentionally or unintentionally, it will not change the outcome of the Lin family. They It is destined to be your burial object.”

Mrs. Xie bit her lip tightly.

The Minister of Dali Temple continued: "If you continue to hide and refuse to report, then I will punish you. Is this what you want to see?"

Mrs. Xie trembled, but she still said: "This is unfair. The Lin family was not involved, so why involve them."

The Minister of Dali Temple sneered and glanced at the subordinates beside him. Immediately, an experienced official came forward and wanted to drag Mrs. Xie to be tortured.

Mrs. Xie was anxious: "I am the general's wife, how can you be so rude to me!"

The Minister of Dali Temple gave Mrs. Xie a strange look: "Once your testimony comes out, it's doubtful whether the general is alive or not. Why do you think that the general's wife can still protect you now?"

Mrs. Xie was blinded by hatred and completely forgot that the basis for her survival was the husband who treated her badly in her eyes!

"I..." Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and said, "I was recruited by the Lin family. They took advantage of the grassland people, and I was forced to get involved!"

The Minister of Dali Temple stared at Madam Xie with cold eyes. Madam Xie's current testimony was similar to that of others.

"Retrial Lin Tao. This man must have lied. There is no need to be polite to him. He will be punished directly." Dali Temple Qing ordered his deputy.

Mrs. Xie's interrogation is still continuing: "General Xie has been on the battlefield for a long time. As far as I know, the Xie family also has many properties in the capital and is not short of money. There is no need for him to do such a thing."

"It is true that he is not short of money, but who would think that he has too much money? The grassland people promised to give him ten thousand taels of gold..." Mrs. Xie said stutteringly.

She thought that over the years, she was obviously Mrs. Xie, but she had no way to intervene in some important family properties. As Mrs. Xie, she felt extremely frustrated.

"He sold the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers for a mere ten thousand taels of gold, and even put his own life on the line. Do you think I am a fool?" asked the Minister of Dali Temple.

Mrs. Xie felt that ten thousand taels of gold was a large sum of money. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at the other party. She suddenly thought in her heart, could it be that the price she had asked the prairie people was too low? Already?

The Minister of Dali Temple said: "Mrs. Xie, you don't seem to know the background of the Xie family at all."

Mrs.

The Minister of Dali Temple continued: "Let's just assume that General Xie is really short of these ten thousand taels of gold. Then where did the money go?"

Mrs. Xie was panicking, but she also knew that she probably couldn't hide it from the other party, so she said half-truthfully: "This money is used to buy property in the name of the Lin family. The general prepared it for Xie Xingchuan alone!"

The Minister of Dali Temple laughed out loud on the spot: "Mrs. Xie, do you think that everyone in the world is a fool? The Jingzhao Mansion has already informed me about the scandal between you and Xie Xingchuan, and I have already arrested you. You’re such a big fish, why do you have to involve other people?”

Mrs. Xie's intention of dragging Xie Xingchuan into the water was shattered. She also didn't expect that the selfless man in front of her didn't want to drag Xie Xingchuan into the water. "The more people I find, the greater your contribution will be in front of the emperor!" Mrs. Xie said proactively.

The Minister of Dali Temple sneered and said, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

Whether it is General Xie or Gu Mingda, these people are not political enemies of the Minister of Dali Temple. In the officialdom, one should always make more friends instead of making too many enemies.

If he really believed this woman's nonsense, he would become the laughingstock of the emperor.

"The money was spent on the Lin family, but you said it was General Xie who was in charge. This really makes no sense. There is no need to be polite to her. She will be punished directly." The Minister of Dali Temple did not hesitate any more.

Mrs. Xie collapsed to the ground.

She was a pampered lady, so she could not withstand the torture methods used to deal with serious criminals. In just half a day, this case of collaboration with the enemy and treason that could shock the entire government and opposition parties had been clearly interrogated.

The case file was sent to the emperor, together with the testimonies of several people, indicating that the result of this trial was both speedy and clear.

"Xie Zhuyun really wasn't involved in this matter?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The Minister of Dali Temple lowered his head slightly and explained: "The Xie family is not short of money, and the money was not spent on the Xie family, but was used to buy property for the Lin family. There is no reason for General Xie to sacrifice his life for the sake of his wife's natal family." In a dangerous situation, if General Xie had not turned the tide of the battle three years ago, the consequences would have been disastrous. "

The emperor chuckled: "So, he still has merit?"

The Minister of Dali Temple said: "Your Majesty, I think that he is guilty of negligence."

The emperor said nothing more, but played with a letter in his hand.

Coincidentally, on the day Mrs. Xie entered Dali Temple, two letters were sent from the border town. One was to the Gu family to thank Gu Mingda for informing General Xie, and the other was a letter of divorce to Mrs. Xie.

Gu Mingda did not have the ability to predict the unforeseen, and he had no idea that the Lin family would drag Mrs. Mrs. Xie settled the matter.

The emperor waved his hand, and the minister of Dali Temple withdrew respectfully.

"Xie Zhuyun is a good boy." The emperor sighed in a low voice to Qian Rongsheng.

Qian Rongsheng thought of the thick pile of banknotes sent by the steward of the General's Mansion, and said: "Your Majesty, General Xie has been away from the capital for a long time. I'm afraid he doesn't know that his wife is so bold. If General Xie displeases Your Majesty, Your Majesty will directly Even if someone escorts him back to Beijing, he won’t dare to say anything.”

The emperor looked at the testimony and knew very well that this matter did not have much to do with General Xie. It was just that when he thought of the war three years ago and the loss of so many useful soldiers, his hatred for Mrs. Xie reached its extreme. .

"Xie Lin and the entire Lin family will be executed in Lingchi," the emperor said.

Qian Rongsheng's heart trembled when he heard such punishment.

The emperor spared General Xie in the end. After all, there were not many soldiers available to him now: "As for Xie Zhuyun, he did not manage the inner house well, so he was demoted to three ranks and retained."
