On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Normally, only city dwellers can see such scenes.

The day after Murong Yan and Lin Zhen got together, she launched a drastic purge of the court. Many officials, regardless of their rank, were beheaded at Caishikou as a public display.

Of course, in order to gain the support of the people, one always has to say something nice before the execution, such as how much money the official being beheaded today has embezzled, what evil things he has done, how many people he has harmed, and how he has incurred the wrath of heaven and man. Finally, the victim or the person involved will stand on the execution platform to give evidence.

The people watching below were immediately outraged, cursing the corrupt officials and throwing rotten vegetable leaves and stones.

This is the result that the court, or Murong Yan, wants to see.

But in fact, the people don’t know the truth at all. They just simply can’t stand seeing officials doing well.

This kind of mentality is not hatred of the rich, but a kind of disgust of the managed towards those in power.

As long as an official is brought down, they will be happy no matter what the truth is, even if the person in power has not caused them any harm or trouble.

Just like Murong Yan issued an edict a few days ago, the Deputy Minister of Rites sold official positions and titles, embezzled and accepted bribes of 700,000 taels, and was exiled to the frontier.

The people cheered and shouted that Your Majesty was wise.

In reality, this official from the Ministry of Rites merely pointed out Murong Yan's extravagance in court, causing her to feel upset.

If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.

Wang Chunsheng didn't need too many tricks or fancy words, and it was not appropriate to accuse these ordinary people of corruption and bribery. He just simply told them that these people had angered the honorable Madam Huanbi, so they had to break one of their legs.

The purpose of doing this is to deter the people so that they will not dare to bully Li Laosan's family in the future.

"what!!!"

The big knife fell, and Grandma Huanbi's left leg was cut off cleanly.

Not only her, but also her daughter, son and two young children who were still young had their left legs chopped off.

The intense pain woke them up instantly.

"what!!"

"Help!"

“Murder!”

The people were all terrified. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wang Chunsheng held the red-hot iron palm in his hand and said, "Everyone, look carefully! This is the fate of those who disobey Madam Huanbi!!"

After saying that, he pressed his iron palm directly on her broken leg.

Zira——

The aroma of barbecue wafted in.

"what!!!"

The severe pain made her faint again. The villagers were so frightened that they unconsciously took a few steps back.

"This old lady is so miserable."

"That's right, what kind of mistake could this be? It can't be that serious, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This group of people attacked the Crown Prince's wife. It would be considered a mercy if they only cut off one leg."

"Even the prince can't..."

"Shut up! Have you forgotten when Xiao Hei bumped into the carriage of the Duke of Lu's wife? That was a serious crime punishable by immediate beheading!"

"Oh yes, it's just a leg, it's okay..."

Inside the house, Ah-yo screamed in pain and wanted to go out to see what was happening. Li Laosan grabbed her and said, "Ah-yo, forget it. They asked for this."

"But...but..." Ah Yao wanted to say, but, she is my mother.

.......

No one cared about it. Even the Jingzhao Yin knew about it, but he didn't do anything about it.

In his opinion, daring to offend the Crown Prince's wife was a heinous crime, and not having her head cut off was already a mercy. So no matter how much Huanbi's family petitioned or filed a lawsuit, it was of no avail.

So much so that when he went to petition later, he was beaten again, and only then did the situation completely calm down.

Lin Zhen has not been idle during the days when Huanbi returned home. The spring examination is approaching, and all departments of the court are now preparing for this long-awaited exam.

Chu Xiling even set the questions herself and asked the newspaper staff to print them frantically. She planned to recruit 100 students this year and then recruit more teachers later.

Lin Zhen was so busy that he didn't go home for two days. When he came back today, he heard that Huanbi had returned with his brother.

This is my brother-in-law. I have to meet him and try to find him a job in the city.

Among Lin Zhen's wives and concubines, Huanbi's family is the worst off. Even Qingxia's mother, the old clan leader, runs a rouge shop. Their lives may not be very good, but they have everything they want.

But Huanbi never asked for anything, which made Lin Zhen feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin An said that Huanbi came back at night and lived in her own villa. Her brother brought her two children and had a great time playing in the city all day.

In the evening, Lin Zhen took a jar of wine and leisurely walked towards the bamboo forest. He could hear a lot of laughter coming from a long distance away.

There are many servants in the palace but few masters. Such innocent laughter has not been heard for a long time. Lin Zhen couldn't help but feel happy.

Hou Chun went forward to open the door, and suddenly saw two little kids, a boy and a girl, running out. The brother was running in front, and the sister was chasing after him, chattering.

Lin Zhen squatted down, hugged them, and laughed, "Wahahaha, I caught you!"

After saying this, he showed an expression that looked like he wanted to eat someone.

The two little guys were immediately frightened and screamed: "Ah!!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Daddy! Daddy, save me!" my brother shouted.

Lin Zhen smiled very happily.

Soon, Li Chuang walked out of the house and was stunned to see a stranger holding his child.

He was not stupid, and knew that this was the palace and no one would dare to do anything to them, so he asked, "Who are you..."

"Husband!" Before Li Chuang finished his words, Huanbi shouted happily from the door.

Lin Zhen smiled and said to Li Chuang, "Brother-in-law, nice to meet you."

Li Chuang was so scared that he didn't know what to say and his whole body was shaking.

"No, no, no, I...a humble commoner...pays my respects to the prince." He stuttered for a long time but still couldn't utter a complete sentence, and in the end he even knelt down to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen quickly pulled him back and said, "Brother-in-law, there's no need to bow to each other. Let's go inside and talk."

After saying this, he took the hands of the two bewildered children and went into the house first.

Huanbi turned around to pour tea.

She had long been accustomed to serving Lin Zhen.

Li Chuang walked in with a look of horror on his face and said behind Huanbi, "Hua'er, is he the prince?"

"correct."

"Oh my god, you didn't even tell me. I was almost rude just now."

"Hehe, it's okay. The prince is not a jackal, tiger or leopard. On the contrary, he is very easy to talk to."

It's very easy to talk to you, but what about others?

Li Chuang had heard that Lin Zhen slaughtered many people in Qinghe last year, and there were still Persian pigs placed at the city gate to intimidate everyone.

"Hua'er, let me do it. You go into the house and accompany the prince."

"No need, brother. Go inside. The prince won't eat you."

"Well... okay." Li Chuang plucked up his courage and walked into the house with heavy steps.

It seemed as if he had made a great decision.
