The teeth of all the elders of the clan are almost broken, and they are still holding on to the arrogance of their elders and cannot bend down.
The rich man gasped for breath and glared at Ji Rong: "Is this how you teach your children?! Look what they have become! How dare you ask the elders to kowtow to her! Why don't you let me wait in vain to become a servant in your yard? Let’s go!”
Ji Shu: "When Bai Shen meets someone with an official rank, he must be greeted with courtesy. This is the rule of all dynasties. Elders of wealthy families are so arrogant, but don't rely on your age. When you meet the Holy Emperor, you must also use your age as an excuse. If you don't agree, Greetings, Your Majesty."
The official on the side had a dark expression, stared at a group of clan elders and asked coldly:
"Are you dissatisfied with the emperor's reward?"
Ji Laosi, who had the weakest spine, was the first to kneel down, and the flesh on his body trembled. Following his example, several other clan elders also fell on the ground.
Rich people always force people to pull them off. A group of people bow their heads to the ground and shout: "Greetings to the county mistress!"
Ji Laosi's voice was particularly loud, with a bitter look on his face. Thinking of how he had belittled Ji Shu before, he wanted to slap himself twice.
Be more attentive now, I just hope that Ji Shu will not pursue it with him!
Ji Rong stood aside with his hands behind his back, but he never got involved in this matter and didn't speak until now.
"Tell them to get up and show mercy to others."
"Get up." Ji Shu said calmly.
The official led several eunuchs to carry the emperor's reward to Ji Shu into the palace, and moved them all to the courtyard where she lived before leaving the cabinet. After finishing these things, the group left in a grand manner.
On the other side, the news that Ji Shu was granted the title of county head for providing disaster relief in Yan'an quickly spread in the capital. As soon as the Zhao family handed the inquiry news to Yikun Palace, Xie Shangshan ran to Concubine Zhao, dragging a lame leg. Turn to Concubine Zhao.
With a ferocious expression, "Concubine! It's her! She was the one who hurt me! It turns out that Lin Sui is Ji Shu!"
"Why are you here! The imperial doctor told you to rest! Your foot injury hasn't healed yet, don't you think about it yet? You all go down first!"
Concubine Zhao drove all the palace people out of the palace. She helped Xie Shangshan to the Kang. Concubine Zhao said with a cold expression:
"Why are you anxious! I was worried that I couldn't find her, so she jumped out on her own. Now she is knowing that you are hiding it, and there are many ways to kill her!"
Xie Shangshan couldn't listen and was overwhelmed by hatred and jealousy.
Bang bang bang bang on the warm bed, "That bitch! Whore! She is seducing Qi Ye even though she is already married! I must kill her!"
Xie Shangshan's eyes were round and bloodshot, and his teeth were clenching.
"Qi Ye actually would rather have a married rag than me!"
"Wait! Shan'er, what did you say? Qi Ye and Na Ji Shu have an affair?"
Concubine Zhao held her shoulders and looked into her eyes. Xie Shangshan struggled while cursing: "Qi Ye killed Zhao Li's whole family just because of her!"
"Well, in that case, this matter will be easy."
Concubine Zhao slowly sat down, her eyes full of calculations, "Since we know that the two of them have an affair, as long as this matter is exposed, neither Qi Ye nor Ji Shu can escape."
"Somebody come!"
Zhou Qing, the chief eunuch of Yikun Palace, walked into the palace, half-kneeling and saluted, "Your Majesty's orders."
"I am very concerned about the people of Yan'an Prefecture. You have received my order to prepare ten thousand taels of silver and two thousand stones of food. When I report to the emperor, you will supervise and lead the people to deliver these to Yan'an. When you go to the house, remember to leave quickly and come back quickly."
Zhou Qing raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Zhao, knowing in his heart, "Yes, I will go right now."
Xie Shangshan threw himself on Concubine Zhao excitedly, "Concubine, do you have any idea?"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law promises that Ji Shu will be disabled even if she doesn't die. She will never be able to go against you again in this life."
…
Ji Shu was made the county head and was in the limelight. The Ji family did not dare to care about her divorce without permission. Ji Shu lived a peaceful life during the few days he returned home.
Soon it was time for Jiang Fu to be sentenced to death, and Ji Shu went to see her off.
The execution took place in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, which was dark and cold. The officer in charge of the execution put a rope around Jiang Fu's neck and tied it tightly.
Outside the execution room, Ji Shu asked the arrester: "Where is Qi Chengxu?"
"He is in the cell. The county owner wants to see him?"
"I'm here for Jiang Fu's execution. Qi Chengxu has a deep love for her. How could he not come to see her off?"
"That's what the county chief said."
The head catcher called his men to bring Qi Chengxu, then he looked at Ji Shu's back in fear and thought:
Sure enough, no one can mess with a smart woman.
Just take a look at the fate of Uncle Wu Ding's house and you will know that Ji Shu has risen and fallen, and it is pitiful for Mr. Qi to have to watch his beloved woman being hanged with his own eyes.
The executioner inside was about to call for execution when the head catcher stepped forward and shouted: "Wait, wait until Mr. Qi arrives before executing him."
The prison officer saw Ji Shu standing in the shadows outside the cell, and he understood and retreated to the wall.
Ji Shu walked behind the iron bars of the cell door and looked at Jiang Fu who was not far away. Looking at the hateful eyes of the other party, she said calmly:
"Don't worry, Qi Chengxu will be here soon. It's a pity that I couldn't bring you Qi Jinxing and Qi Baoxin."
"Ji Shu, bitch! Don't be proud!!"
Jiang Fu's voice was particularly hoarse, as if she had been injured by torture.
With her hands tied, she could only twist her body and shout at Ji Shu, cursing viciously: "I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
"Ji Shu?"
Qi Chengxu was dragged to the cell door by the yamen. His face was stubbled and unkempt, like a beggar on the street. He struggled to pounce on Ji Shu, making a muffled sound in his mouth and shouting at the top of his lungs: "Don't do it." I want to run away! You can never leave me in this life! When I get out, I will definitely come to find you!"
"Gag his mouth."
"You uh-"
Qi Chengxu had a rag stuffed in his mouth and could no longer make a sound. The Yamen servant controlled his chin and turned his head towards Jiang Fu.
Ji Shu: "Let's carry out the execution."
The officer tied the rope around his shoulders with his backhand. As the torture instrument turned, the rope quickly hoisted Jiang Fu high in the air. She could no longer make any sound, her legs kicked helplessly in the air, her eyes bulged, and her tongue stuck out. For a long time, saliva kept dripping, and the sound disappeared after just a few breaths.
The sound of the neck bones being strangled rang out in the quiet prison. Qi Chengxu's face turned pale and he kept moaning.
His eyes were wet, and he didn't know whether it was because of fear or because of his friendship with Jiang Fu. He felt sad when he saw her tragic death.
Ji Shu quietly watched Jiang Fu die and looked away. The official put her body down, stepped forward to investigate and said, "Sir, the prisoner has died."
"Tell them to be thrown into a mass grave."
The executioner said: "There is an order from above that no one is allowed to collect her body."
The head catcher looked at Ji Shu, "County Lord, shall I send you out?"
Ji Shu turned around and left the Penal Department Yamen. She remained expressionless all the way until she got on the carriage, then she covered her mouth and vomited.
"Miss--"
Xitao quickly slapped her on the back. Ji Shu's stomach was sour but he didn't vomit anything, so he waved his hand to Xitao comfortingly.
It was the first time she faced the death of a person, and she still felt a little uncomfortable. Jiang Fu's ferocious appearance lingered in her mind, and it took Ji Shu a long time to recover.
Debts are wiped out after death. If you can be reincarnated as a human being in your next life, just be a good person.
Ji Shu looked at the plaque on the Xingbu Yamen and asked the coachman to drive away the carriage.
Champion House
Lu Wen went straight to Qi Ye's study, pushed open the door after being summoned, and placed something on the desk in front of Qi Ye.
A piece of cloth was scattered at the corner, revealing the green and black tattoos tattooed on human skin. Qi Ye lowered his eyes and took out another piece from the side to compare it. They were exactly the same.
Qi Yeruo leaned back thoughtfully.
Both tattoos are a word twisted into a painting - Xi.
The eldest prince, King of Runan, Xie Xi's Xi.
