Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1749

Shi Anxia lowered her eyes and smiled when she heard this, "Okay, okay, Aunt, just pretend that I know nothing."

Zheng Qiaoer then spoke quickly, "Old Madam Chi was forced by Old Master Chi to drink poison and died. After she died, she was hung on the old locust tree to make it look like she was hanged. The cause of death was found out by an autopsy, and the second and third branches of the Chi family could not withstand the pressure and confessed everything."

Shi Anxia applauded, "There are twists and turns here? This is great, Sister Chi Shuang doesn't have to bear the infamy of 'forcing my grandmother to death'."

Zheng Qiaoer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That's right! No matter how big the fault of the elders is, if the younger generation forces the elders to death, they will never be able to hold their heads up high in their lives."

She hadn't finished her bombshell news yet, "When the government came to arrest Old Master Chi, they failed... guess what happened?"

He must have committed suicide out of fear of crime! Shi Anxia thought about it, but didn't say it out loud. She asked in a good-tempered manner, "What's the matter?"

"He committed suicide out of fear of crime!" Zheng Qiao'er felt happy, "God has eyes! God has eyes!"

The old man of the Chi family hanged himself at home. The people from the second and third branches were convicted from the main culprit to the accomplices for holding the corpse hostage and causing trouble, and inciting the people to disrupt the court.

Only a few young children were lucky enough to escape imprisonment because they had no involvement.

According to the Northern Wing Criminal Code, Chi Yisong and Chi Yirong should be sentenced to immediate execution.

It was ridiculous that these two men cried loudly in the court and even begged Chi Shuang to exchange their lives for his deceased brother's military achievements.

Zheng Qiaoer sneered out loud, "How shameless! You think you deserve to exchange your life for your military exploits? Have they forgotten that they splashed ink and blood on my Shuang'er's door a few days ago!"

Nan Yan and the others stood aside and although they did not interrupt, they all despised him in their hearts.

Tsk, how dare you speak like that!

Zheng Qiaoer suddenly remembered something, and when she got closer, An Xia told her a funny story, "You know, a few days ago, those people in the Censorate were so bored that they were reporting on this and that all day long. As a result, the Prince of Zhongzhao reported them in court, saying that they were 'doing nothing and just sitting there doing nothing', which made those old stubborn people's faces turn green." She covered her lips and chuckled, "During the public trial today, those people were still in the court with dark faces the whole time."

"Did Prince Zhongzhao also go to the court today?" Shi Anxia asked with a faint smile.

She didn't know much about this Prince Zhongzhao. She only knew that when the crisis was most severe in her previous life, he took everyone in the palace and hid in the countryside.

Before leaving, Prince Chungso came to see Queen Dowager Huizheng and said, "I am weak and will only be a hindrance on the battlefield. Today I volunteer to lend all my property to the court to fight. Queen Dowager, can you write me an IOU?"

The key is to borrow!

He added, "It doesn't matter if I can't win, I can't protect him anyway. If I can win, I can come back and be a leisurely prince with no worries about food and clothing. I have no ability, so my greatest contribution is not to cause trouble to the court."

This person is clear-headed and has a deep and correct understanding of himself.

Everything is out in the open, and you can say anything.

Queen Mother Huizheng wrote him an IOU on the spot and even asked someone to find out more about him. She found that Prince Chungso was just as he said and would never cause any trouble to the court.

He was very strict with his subordinates and managed the harem very well. Even Ying Ruolan, the mistress of the house, did not dare to cause trouble after she married in. Of course, the death of Chi Yiqing was an exception, after all, the truth was not found out in the previous life.

Prince Zhong Zhao later returned from the countryside and saw that the court was poor, so he only took a small portion of the family property and left, but he also said, "I will slowly bring back the rest later."

The imperial court owed Prince Zhongzhao money until several years after Emperor Zhaowu came to power.
