Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Furong was extremely cruel to herself, and the loud sound of the slap was particularly clear in the bridal chamber.

Bai Wanqing glanced at Furong who was kneeling at her feet and said indifferently, "Get up. Today is my big day. Stop making trouble for me."

"Yes."

Furong carefully helped Bai Wan wash and brush her teeth. She didn't make a fuss and went to bed after washing.

Furong, who had served her for many years, knew in her heart that her master was not someone who would suffer any loss.

She suffered a great loss in her marriage, and she will definitely try to make up for it.

But before Bai Wanqing could get a firm foothold in the general's office, news came that the Bai family had been ransacked and Bai Hanyi had been arrested and thrown into jail by the Ministry of Justice.

After receiving the news, Bai Wanqing took her maids and servants and wanted to go back to the Bai family. However, she was blocked by Zhou Wuwei as soon as she walked out of the moon gate in the backyard.

"where are you going?"

"General, something happened to my father. I need to go back and take a look."

"What are you going to see? Do you also want to be locked up in the Ministry of Justice prison?"

"Please General, save my father."

Bai Wanqing was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and she knelt down in front of Zhou Wuwei hesitantly.

"My concubine's family is in trouble, and I beg the general for mercy."

"Do you know how much money your father embezzled from water conservancy projects?"

Zhou Wuwei lowered his head to look at Bai Wanqing, who looked so beautiful even when she was crying. His heart was calm. The woman in front of him was just a chess piece in the fight between everyone.

"My father was the Minister of Works for many years and our family had a small fortune, but that was all. I did not live a luxurious life when I was at my mother's house."

"That's because Bai Hanyi hid it well. When the family's house was searched this morning, we found 200 million taels of silver in Bai's cellar, and other jewelry, land and shops were not counted. How do you want me to save Bai Hanyi?"

200 million taels of silver. Even though Bai Wanqing had lived a life of luxury since childhood, she was still shocked when she heard about so much silver.

In her mind, Bai Hanyi was an honest official. He often stayed in the yamen for a whole day. Sometimes when there was a lot of work to do, he even lived in the yamen.

How could he be a corrupt official?

"General, someone must be trying to frame my father. Please investigate carefully."

"Framed? Do you know why the emperor suddenly sent Bai Hanyi, who had already retired and returned home?"

"It was because of the flood in Tanqu Prefecture. The court allocated a large amount of money to the Ministry of Works every year for water conservancy projects. However, even so, the Qujiang River burst its banks, flooding large tracts of farmland and leaving countless people homeless."

"The reason why the Qujiang River broke its banks in many places is because the Ministry of Works inexplicably reduced 90% of the money it used to repair the Qujiang River."

"Only 10% of the silver is left. Not to mention repairing the Qujiang River, even hiring people to patrol the Qujiang River is not enough."

"Bai Wanqing, do you think your father was arrested unjustly? If the emperor was not absolutely sure, why would he touch an old minister?"

Zhou Wuwei sneered as he said this.

"If Bai Hanyi can behave himself after retiring, the emperor will not bring up the past with him because he has devoted half his life to the Qin Kingdom."

"But you, the Bai family, love to commit suicide. You actually dared to set your sights on the emperor. Aren't you just courting death?"

"So even if a god comes, he can't save your Bai family this time."

As he spoke, Zhou Wuwei called over two maids.

"Keep an eye on Bai Wanqing. Don't let her leave the General's Mansion until the matter of the Bai family is investigated. If she goes out, you two can just die."

"Yes."

Zhou Wuwei's cold words frightened the two old women so much that their hearts almost stopped beating.

The man in front of me has been to the battlefield. Even the King of Hell would frown when he saw his violent temper.

When Bai Wanqing saw Zhou Wuwei turned around and left so ruthlessly, her heart felt like it was sinking into an ice cellar.

Since getting married, she has used every means to get him into bed. In order to serve him well, she even learned the tricks of serving men from others.

But even so, she couldn't warm Zhou Wuwei's heart.

No, Zhou Wuwei is heartless, how can she keep him warm?

Bai Wanqing was temporarily under custody, but the maidservant beside her could still go out of the general's mansion to help her find out some things about the Bai family.

Not long after the Bai family’s property was ransacked, the Ministry of Justice investigated the case.

Bai Hanyi took advantage of his position as Minister of Works and embezzled more than 2000 million taels of silver, a large portion of which he used to purchase properties in other cities.

If it weren't for the Yulin Guards helping the Ministry of Justice investigate the case, it would probably take a while for the Ministry of Justice to figure out how much silver Han Yi had embezzled.

Bai Hanyi’s life is certainly in danger as he embezzled more than 2000 million taels of silver.

Xiao Mo issued an imperial decree to execute more than 20 officials related to the case, and several senior officials from the Ministry of Works were executed.

The rest of the Bai family were all exiled to Ningchuan Prefecture to mine. According to Ye Jintang, only by working day after day could they cleanse their sins.

Many people were involved in this case, and people in the capital were in a panic for a while.

Especially those who wanted to send their daughters to the palace could not help but inquire about the inside story.

I don't know who spread the rumor that Bai Hanyi wanted to send his daughter to the palace as a concubine, which offended Ye Jintang.

The court officials had some understanding of what kind of person Ye Jintang was.

If you make her unhappy, you will make yourself unhappy. Look, Bai Hanyi has hit a wall.

The Bai family is also a prominent family in the capital, and one of their ancestors was a prime minister. But when Bai Hanyi provoked Ye Jintang, she sent everyone in the Bai family to meet the King of Hell.

With such strong fighting ability, everyone asked themselves who could compete with her.

Therefore, those who had been eyeing the harem since Xiao Mo ascended the throne, completely gave up this time.

As for Liang Zhiyun, why she has never had any status since entering the palace and the emperor does not favor her?

It is estimated that the emperor was also afraid of Ye Jintang and did not want to ruin his relationship with her. After all, Liang Zhiyun was just a little peasant girl and she was not even as good as Ye Jintang.

"What kind of rumors are these? They make it sound like I'm a female demon."

Ye Jintang also heard some rumors. Xiao Mo, who had just finished the morning court, received a sour look from Ye Jintang as soon as he arrived at Wutong Palace.

And he is the culprit of all this.

"It's just some rumors. Let them spread whatever they want. As long as I know that you are a fairy and not a female demon, that's enough."

Xiao Mo chuckled and moved closer to Ye Jintang.

"Jin Yuan just received news that Zheng Hai has been found. He is now rushing to the capital and should be there before the New Year."

"Finally I found him. I had been looking for him for so long but there was no news. I thought Zheng Hai had gone out to sea."

Now that Zheng Hai is back, it will be clear whether Liang Zhiyun is Xiao Mo's biological sister or not, and she can finally put her mind at ease.

It is really unsettling that there has been an unidentified person living in the palace.

It would be better for Liang Zhiyun if the truth came out sooner rather than later, so that she wouldn't always think about unrealistic things.

Thinking about Liang Zhiyun taking the initiative to make friends with noble ladies in Beijing, Ye Jintang really didn't know what to say to her.

If she was really a princess, there would be nothing wrong with doing this.

If she were a palace concubine, or a peasant girl, and she lived in the palace and still wanted to make friends with noble ladies, she could only say that she was too naive.
