Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family
Chapter 288: Won in one fell swoop
Jia Jingtian knew the current situation clearly.
Xia Shijin must have heard from somewhere that the Dali Temple was coming to arrest him, and as he was guilty, he hid the servant to cover himself. However, Jia Jingtian was neither a fool nor a coward.
Besides, now that the evidence is solid, he has the right to search the Xia Mansion, and he asked the young man just to try to save some time and see if he could catch the person without going through the procedure.
In other words, even if people don't cooperate, he will just have to spend a little more time and effort.
Jia Jingtian curled the corners of his mouth, then let go of the servant who was trembling with fear under his hands, and then raised his hand to give orders to the men behind him who were ready to go.
"Search, whoever can invite Master Xia over here, I'll reward him two taels of silver!"
After these words were spoken, the crowd, who were already full of fighting spirit, became even more excited.
As soon as Jia Jingtian finished speaking, everyone swarmed to every corner of the Xia Mansion. The servant was dumbfounded when he saw this situation. By the time he reacted and wanted to stop them, the people had already scattered all over the Xia Mansion. After stopping one, he couldn't take care of the others. He could only exclaim and sigh.
……
Jia Jingtian has always been resolute and efficient in his work. Within a day, people from the Dali Temple were shuttling between the residences of the major officials involved in the case in Kyoto, and all those who should be arrested were brought back to the Dali Temple.
For a moment, many court officials felt insecure. Some of those who were ready to make some bad moves immediately gave up those thoughts and became obedient and well-behaved because of this incident.
There was really no need to conceal this matter. In addition, their action, which was not small in scale, had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Within a day, not only the court officials but also the ordinary people in Kyoto knew about it.
Unlike the nervous officials, the common people applauded and talked about this matter.
"Let me tell you, I saw people from the Dali Temple arresting people on the road today. They even sealed off the house of the corrupt official! It really makes people happy!"
"Yes, these corrupt officials are eating the blood and sweat of the people. They should have been arrested long ago!"
"You may not know, but these corrupt officials were able to be brought to justice thanks to two people."
This sentence quickly aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all turned their eyes to this person.
"Oh? Tell me?"
The man immediately cleared his throat upon seeing this.
"This was told to me by a relative of mine who works at the Dali Temple. These corrupt officials were caught thanks to the current Seventh Prince Mu Gu and his future wife, Xiao Ruge."
Several people were obviously unfamiliar with these two names, but their reactions were within his expectations.
"When I heard about these two people, I was just like you. I didn't know where they came from. Later, I went to the Dali Temple to look for my relative and happened to see them. My relative explained it to me."
"The Seventh Prince is an unpopular prince, and Xiao Ruge is the daughter of a criminal. There were rumors in the past that they were not good people, but my relative in the Dali Temple said that the truth is not what the rumors say. These two..."
At this point, the man couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then continued.
"They are all the best dignitaries, and they care about our Dalong!"
It seemed that the man was an informant that was trusted by everyone, and everyone believed in his words.
Just as everyone finished listening to the excitement and were about to leave, the man looked around casually, saw the two of them, and immediately exclaimed.
"Look! That's His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and Xiao Ruge!"
The crowd who were just about to leave were immediately attracted again. Following the sound, they saw the pair walking slowly on the streets of Kyoto. The two people who seemed to be a perfect match, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, formed a very beautiful scene on the street and attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.
When the two passed by, they couldn't help but cast admiring glances over.
Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu, originally, had just solved a big matter and were just waiting for the Dali Temple to count the number of people captured and the total amount of confiscated property. Then they would go to the palace together to add these things to the national treasury. As a result, the two of them finally had some free time.
We hit it off and decided to come to Kyoto for a stroll.
When she walked onto the streets of Kyoto, Xiao Ruge realized how long it had been since she last wandered around the streets of Kyoto. She remembered that when she was a child and her parents were still alive, she loved running on the streets of Kyoto the most.
There are delicious candy figures and cute little gadgets on the street, which always make Xiao Ruge linger. After many years, she stood on the street again and found that nothing in the streets of Kyoto has changed. Only the children like them who have lived in Kyoto since childhood have changed.
Mu Gu had lived in the deep palace for a long time and had never been allowed to go out for fun, so he didn't quite understand Xiao Ruge's feelings.
He just stood beside Xiao Ruge, looking at the person next to him. His face was originally full of excitement and joy, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly he lowered half of his eyes, and the joy gradually turned into loss and sadness.
This kind of Xiao Ruge always makes Mu Gu's emotions change, and he can't help but change the action of holding her hand to hugging her in his arms, and then patting her back and comforting her softly.
"Xiao Yu'er, I will always be by your side and will never leave you."
Although Xiao Ruge didn't say a word and didn't tell Mu Gu why she was so depressed, Mu Gu has always been the one who can best feel the changes in Xiao Ruge's emotions.
He always knew that Xiao Ruge's parents loved her very much. If it weren't for those unexpected events, she could have been the carefree Miss Xiao all her life and could do whatever she wanted without any scruples.
But now everything has changed. Of the family that used to walk on the streets of Kyoto, only Xiao Ruge is left. However, with him around, Xiao Ruge will never be unhappy. Although he cannot bring General Xiao and Madam Xiao back to life, he can stay with Xiao Ruge forever.
Xiao Ruge gently placed her forehead on Mu Gu's shoulder, and only spoke in a deep and dull voice after a long time.
"My parents, they were wronged..."
Just as Mu Gu guessed, Xiao Ruge was having random thoughts in her heart just for General Xiao and Madam Xiao. Mu Gu raised his head and gently patted Xiao Ruge's back.
"I know that General Xiao is a loyal general and a good official."
Although Mu Gu did not have a close relationship with General Xiao, they had met several times before General Xiao got into trouble. Judging from his conversation and actions, he did not seem like someone who would betray Dalong.
