Chapter 72 The eldest daughter
"stop!"
There was a sharp shout from the door, and a handsome man walked in.
Xiaoying shouted excitedly in her sea of consciousness, "Master, it's him. He's the one who was spying on you in Baiyuan Temple."
Nan Xi looked up and saw the man walking towards Ji Lanchen with an angry look on his face.
"Ji Lanchen, are you okay?"
Ji Lanchen saluted him and said, "Your Highness, we are fine."
Nan Xi then realized that he was Ji Lanchen's good friend, the virtuous prince Situ Jun.
Xie Yi had already come over, "Your Highness, why are you here? I am currently handling a case, please move aside."
Situ Jun looked at the mess on the ground and shouted, "Xie Yi, you came to search based on a report alone. Isn't this against the rules?"
Xie Yi looked at Ji Yun, thought about it, and decided to speak out. He still had to give face to the wise king.
"Isn't this General Ji's own daughter who reported it? This relationship must not be groundless. I am just following the rules."
"So what did the search reveal?"
Xie Yi was startled, "No..."
"Why don't you go away then?"
Xie Yi gritted his teeth and bowed to Ji Yun, "General Ji, please forgive me!"
He was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Situ Jun spoke again.
"Wait, how should I compensate for the damage to this furniture?"
Xie Yi was really about to cry this time. He had lost both the wife and the army.
"I...I'll pay."
He took out a silver note from his pocket, handed it to Ji Yun with both hands, and then left with his men.
"Thank you, sir. I will explain today's humiliation to the emperor."
Xie Yi slipped and almost fell.
"And the person who reported it must be joking with you, Brother Xie, so please don't take your anger out on him."
Xie Yi was filled with great hatred at the moment, and he just wanted to tear those two bastards Yan Shen and Ji Nanning to pieces to relieve his hatred.
But Situ Jun just wouldn't calm down, and he said with disapproval.
"Perhaps the person who reported it is someone with evil intentions. Sir Xie can't have worked in vain."
Xie Yi's heart became lively. He snorted coldly and quickened his pace.
After Xie Yi left the General's Mansion, he went to the Anyang Marquis' Mansion. Even if he was the Marquis's legitimate son, he could not make random reports. There would be a price to pay for reporting a false case.
When he went there, Yan Shen and Ji Nanning were waiting for news excitedly. Did he make a contribution this time? Would the emperor give him an official title?
For this plan, Yan Shen used up all his connections and even spent 100 taels to bribe Wang Hu.
Seeing Xie Yi coming in, Yan Shen hurried to greet him.
"Thank you, sir, but does the emperor have an order?"
Seeing how happy Xie Yi was, he felt even more disgusted. He had offended the general and the wise king for no reason. It was a huge loss.
"take away!"
Xie Yi didn't waste any time and took Yan Shen and Ji Nanning away and put them in shackles.
He will never release anyone unless the Anyang Marquis's Mansion pays heavy price.
The wife of Marquis Anyang was extremely anxious. Although her younger son was not as sensible as her older son, he was still her dearest child. She was heartbroken to see him being arrested and sent to jail.
"Thank you, sir. Why is this?"
Xie Yi was in no mood to say anything more to Lady Anyang Marquis. It was already a good thing that she was not implicated.
"Get out of the way and don't interfere with official business."
Lady Anyang Marquis did not dare to stop them and could only watch helplessly as her son and daughter-in-law were dragged away.
As expected, Situ Jun reported Xie Yi and the Anyang Marquisate in the court, and the emperor even inquired about the matter.
Although no letters of treason were found, people in the royal family were most taboo about these things. The emperor severely reprimanded Marquis Anyang and ordered him to go home and deal with family affairs. He was not allowed to attend court until he had dealt with them well.
As for Xie Yi, he was fined one year's salary.
Marquis Anyang felt it was too shameful and insisted on dividing his youngest son. Yan Shen was forced to divide his family property before he was even released from the prison. He was given a small courtyard with two entrances and five thousand taels of silver.
Marquis Anyang used the silver given to Yan Shen to redeem the two of them. When Yan Shen returned to the courtyard, he found that he was penniless.
He was so angry that he vomited blood, but he was at his wit's end. Fortunately, Ji Nanning had a lot of dowry, so they could still make ends meet.
Yan Shen was devastated. He was always so proud and arrogant, but now he had to rely on his wife to make a living. This was simply rubbing his pride to the ground.
Ji Nanning couldn't accept it either. She was supposed to be a marquis' wife, so how come she became a commoner now?
