I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

"Yeah." Xie Xingyuan responded without any extra words.

That night, when he arrived, Cui Shuyan had just fainted.

Seeing her lying in a pool of blood, he instantly lost his usual composure, picked up his sword and started killing the assassins.

When it came to the last assassin, he could kill him directly.

However, he didn't.

Instead, he allowed the assassin to escape from He's house.

Originally, the assassin was not heading towards the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but under Xie Xingyuan's deliberate expulsion, the assassin fled to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and fell on the stone steps in front of the Mansion.

Afterwards, Xie Xingyuan swung his sword and killed the man directly in front of the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, blood splattered on the spot.

The Duke's Mansion is prestigious, and many of its sons are serving in various places in the court. It is also the family of Concubine Xian, so how could they tolerate being treated like this?

I heard that Duke Dingguo Feng Guochang had already reported this matter to the court, demanding severe punishment for Xie Xingyuan.

However, Xie Xingyuan had taken leave these days and stayed at home with Cui Shuyan. No matter how chaotic the situation was outside, he remained unmoved.

Now that Cui Shuyan has woken up, he naturally has to do something.

Sitting and waiting for death is not his style.

At this time, Xie Xingyuan took a deep look at Cui Shuyan lying on the bed, and clasped his fists to Dr. He: "Thank you for your hard work. Before I come back, please stay here and watch over me personally."

"Don't worry, I won't leave until you come back."

Xie Xingyuan nodded and strode out.

After leaving the house, Mr. Wen was already waiting outside: "My Lord, where should we go first?"

"Dali Temple."

Mr. Wen was slightly startled.

He originally thought that when Xie Xingyuan had time, he would go to the palace to apologize to the emperor, but he didn't expect that he would go to the Dali Temple.

For a moment, Mr. Wen, who had followed Xie Xingyuan for many years, suddenly found him a little hard to figure out.

Previously on the battlefield, Xie Xingyuan never played by the rules.

It was precisely because of his unconventional ways of playing that the enemy could not figure out his temper, which enabled him to win many battles.

But after leaving the battlefield and serving as an official in the court, Xie Xingyuan became much more stable.

He hasn't done anything out of line in a long time.

For some reason, Mr. Wen was actually looking forward to it this time.

Xie Xingyuan went out and headed all the way to the Dali Temple.

Originally, Mr. Wen thought that Xie Xingyuan was going to ask Liu Fangzheng, the chief minister of the Dali Temple, for advice.

After all, the relationship between the two has always been good.

It is natural to ask friends for help when you encounter problems.

Who would have thought that when he arrived outside the Dali Temple, Xie Xingyuan went straight to the Tongtian Drum.

Before Mr. Wen could react, Xie Xingyuan had already grabbed the drumstick and struck the Tongtian Drum.

The speed was so fast that Mr. Wen was shocked.

You know, this Tongtian drum is set up for those who have no way to seek redress for their grievances.

Once the Tongtian drum is struck, the case will reach the ears of Heaven and be presented before His Majesty.

This way, no one would dare to interfere.

But Xie Xingyuan was someone who could meet His Majesty directly and could report anything to His Majesty directly, so it was really unbelievable for him to come and beat the Tongtian Drum.

When the Tongtian drum was struck, the sound was extremely loud.

When the yamen runner inside heard the noise, he immediately ran out with the sword in his hand.

When they got up there and saw it was Xie Xingyuan, they all stopped and looked at each other.

Xie Xingyuan glanced at them and said, "Go and report to the Lord Temple Minister that this prince has been wronged."

The yamen runner did not dare to delay and rushed in to report the matter to Liu Fangzheng, the chief minister of the Dali Temple.

At this time, Mr. Wen came to Xie Xingyuan, full of confusion: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to make a big deal out of it."

After saying that, Xie Xingyuan walked directly towards the Dali Temple.

Just when he was halfway there, he ran into Liu Fangzheng who was hurrying towards him.

The two of them were already good friends, and at this moment, Liu Fangzheng glared at him unceremoniously: "You've been on leave for several days in a row and have closed the door to visitors. Why are you making fun of me as soon as you come out?"

"I will not make fun of anyone. I have a real grievance. I ask the Lord Temple Minister to open the court to hear the case and report the matter to the emperor according to the previous procedures."

Liu Fangzheng was puzzled: "What grievance could you have?"

"You talk too much." Xie Xingyuan was anxious to finish the work and go back quickly, so he said bluntly, "I have already struck the Tongtian drum, you just need to try the case according to the normal process. If the Lord of the Temple cannot treat everyone equally, then I happen to have a few censors I am familiar with in the Censorate. If I can impeach the Lord of the Dali Temple, I believe they will be happy."

Liu Fangzheng gritted his teeth secretly: "Okay, you are so cruel!"

After saying that, Liu Fangzheng directly ordered: "Come here, go to the court!"

The main hall of Dali Temple.

Liu Fangzheng, wearing his official uniform, sat upright. He slammed the gavel in his hand and shouted, "Who's next?"

Xie Xingyuan's official position was higher than his, so he didn't dare to make Xie Xingyuan kneel.

"I came here today to sue Duke Dingguo Feng Guochang for his ill intentions over the years, and for making the He family childless in order to establish my reputation as a wife-killer. Now that he sees someone about to break the situation, Feng Guochang is furious and wants to kill someone to silence him. Four days ago, an assassin entered the He residence, intending to kill the newly born son of the second daughter-in-law of the Feng family. I happened to meet him and chased him all the way, and found that he fled to the Duke Dingguo's residence."

After hearing this, Liu Fangzheng felt a little confused.

Liu Fangzheng was naturally aware of Xie Xingyuan's reputation as a wife-killer.

But is this matter really related to Duke Dingguo?

If it is related, what reason does Duke Dingguo have to do this?

Liu Fangzheng couldn't figure it out.

But, he didn't need to figure this out.

According to the normal procedure, when someone came to complain, he would just let the relevant person come to the scene and start interrogating him.

Not long after, Duke Dingguo Feng Guochang arrived.

Feng Guochang is Concubine Xian's brother. He is only in his forties this year and looks like a very elegant man.

After arriving at the scene, he immediately refuted Xie Xingyuan's statement: "Your Highness's accusation is really nonsense. We are the Duke of Dingguo Mansion, which is upright and aboveboard. Why would we spread rumors that you are unlucky in marriage? Doing so will not benefit our Duke of Dingguo Mansion in any way."

"If you didn't do it, why did the assassin choose to flee to Duke Dingguo's mansion that night? It's obvious that he was planning to tip you off."

"This is pure nonsense! At that time, the prince was chasing this man with a sword. If this man was really my man, he would not have fled to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion if he had any brains! If the people under this Duke were really so stupid, I'm afraid my Duke Dingguo's Mansion would have been defeated long ago!"

Xie Xingyuan smiled coldly: "Duke Dingguo is right. People from your Dingguo Mansion are naturally not stupid. Please take a close look at the following people, Duke!"
