Chapter 217: Distributing Chuang Tzu and the Mine

Chapter 217 Distributing Zhuangzi and the mine

Zhan Yi stepped forward and knelt down.

The head of the family hurriedly led the crowd to kneel down, Ye Qianning quietly retreated to the door.

The common people also knelt down together, Mrs. Xiang hugged Xiang Mingli and lay on her hands, and Mrs. Wang knelt beside her and wiped her tears.

"The emperor has a decree. The wife of the Xiang family assassinated the general. The crime is extremely heinous. Since then, she will be assigned to Zhuangzi and will never return to the capital. Qi Qi: "General Xiang is seriously injured, so the patriarch Zhang Lao will take over this order on his behalf."

"The grassroots accept the order." The old patriarch knelt down to receive the order.

Eunuch Li sent the imperial decree: "How about General Xiang?"

"The general is seriously injured, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed in a short time."

"The emperor asked our family to bring the best golden sore medicine to General Xiang." Eunuch Li took it out of his arms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Li smiled and raised his head to look at everyone: "Everyone, go away. The emperor knows about the general's mansion. He will never forgive the person who seriously injured the general. As a courtier, his life belongs to the royal family, even if it is his biological mother." He has no right to control life and death."

The words handed down by Emperor Bei Li are also a warning to all the officials in the court. If they all think like the old lady, the court's internal affairs are messed up.

"Women follow their husbands when they marry, and children after their husbands die. It has not changed since ancient times." Eunuch Li said again with a raised voice.

The crowd was very quiet, and everyone knew in their hearts that the world belongs to the emperor, and the general is the sword in the emperor's hand. The ignorant old woman almost broke the knife, how could the emperor tolerate it.

Assigned to Zhuangzi, life will not be long.

This result also calmed the anger in everyone's hearts.

The old lady was pale from fright, and she was still arguing just now, but fell silent after hearing the imperial decree. She lowered her head and hugged Xiang Mingli, who was unconscious, and approached her head, stroking his hair with her big hand: "My dear, my second is sleeping. My second son..."

Ms. Wang was so frightened that she almost fainted. Sending her to the northern mines would be a death sentence. If she took her child to that place, her life would be worse than death.

"Mother...Mother..." She was scared at first, but the old lady's sudden change made her bewildered.

"Xiang Patriarch, the government will come to pick him up tomorrow, so be sure to take good care of him." Eunuch Li said.

"Yes, please don't worry, Eunuch."

Eunuch Li got into the carriage after giving instructions.

The old patriarch looked back at the old lady without a trace of pity, and raised his hand to greet the servant: "Take them all to the woodshed, watch them, don't let them run away, they are dead."

"yes."

The servant stepped forward and pulled the old lady up. The old lady was still struggling, with a smile on her face.

"Hush, please keep your voice down, the second child is sleeping, please keep your voice down."

The servant led people into the gate without making a sound, and several people carried Xiang Mingli back to the mansion.

Ms. Wang was pulled up, her feet dangled, and she stumbled as if she had lost her soul.

Mrs. Zhan watched him off, with some surprise in his eyes: "Madam Xiang is... crazy."

"Fake it." Zhan Chi snorted.

"I don't see it."

"I'm not crazy in the morning, I'm not crazy in the evening, but the imperial decree made me crazy, so I just lied to you." Zhan Chi has never seen someone with such a strong heart in the old lady, it's no wonder she can be crazy.

Mrs. Zhan was dissatisfied and pushed: "Speak well."

"The son said that the mother is kind-hearted." Zhan Chi smiled.

"Slick tongue." Mrs. Zhan sneered, looked up and said, "Where is Fat Tuan?"

Zhan Chi heard the words and looked around, but saw no one: "Let's go back to Yuehua Xiaozhu."
