"General Liu, you, what did you call me?"
Zhao Ping said in surprise.
Uncle?
That means Liu Dingbei admits his relationship with Liu Mengru.
congratulations.
You know, Liu Mengru was bought by the original owner.
With this alone, Liu Dingbei could kill him eight or ten times.
What's more, the original owner abused Liu Mengru for so many years.
Hacking him to death a hundred times is not enough for an old father to vent his anger on Little Cotton Jacket.
So after learning Liu Mengru's identity, Zhao Ping tried every means to make friends with Liu Dingbei and spent fifty jars of acacia wine.
The price is more than one million taels of silver.
A real sugar-coated bullet.
The explosion made Liu Dingbei dizzy.
No, he has already taken the initiative to call him uncle.
"Uncle."
Liu Dingbei said: "Did I shout wrong?"
"Or are you saying that the Liu Mengru you married is not my daughter?"
"Yes, yes, she is your daughter."
Zhao Ping said excitedly: "My father-in-law is here, please pay me my respects to my son-in-law."
With that said, Zhao Ping bowed and knelt down.
"Please get up quickly."
Liu Dingbei hurriedly supported Zhao Ping and prevented him from kneeling down.
Just kidding, the opponent has a Shang Fang sword on his hand, which represents His Majesty.
How can your Majesty kneel down to your ministers?
If word spreads, even if Liu Dingbei has no intention of rebellion, he will still be grabbed by the people of the Ministry of Rites.
Your Majesty's blaming is a bit unkind.
If you don’t blame someone, it’s hard to convince the public.
I could only hold Zhao Ping up in advance and ask nervously, "Uncle, Xiaoru, is she okay?"
"good."
Zhao Ping smiled and said, "I just miss you a little bit."
"However, there is a bit of chaos in the capital for the time being. I am worried that she will be targeted if she comes forward, so I asked her to stay in Xiping Village to guard the house."
"That's good, that's good."
Liu Dingbei's anxious heart was completely settled in his stomach.
Xia Zhixue told him previously that Liu Mengru was still alive and married to Zhao Ping.
At that time, although he was excited, he was also worried.
I don't quite believe what Xia Zhixue said.
After all, Zhao Ping is just an ordinary citizen.
It was only recently that he was promoted by His Majesty to the rank of Seventh Grade Wine Tasting Officer.
But it is still just an official position without any real power, and the acacia wine brewed has to be supplied to the court, so I am afraid that I will get very little.
In such a situation, can Liu Mengru live a good life by following him?
Now that he heard Zhao Ping's words, Liu Dingbei felt relieved.
I finally believed what Xia Zhixue said.
My daughter is not only alive, but also very happy.
My father-in-law is considerate, my daughter is well-behaved and sensible, and the family has plenty of food, so what else is there to worry about?
"Father-in-law, if you are worried, you can follow me back to Xiping Village when things happen in the capital. Mengru misses you very much."
Zhao Ping also saw Liu Dingbei's worries and suggested: "And your granddaughter, Zhao Xiaoxiao, she also wants to meet her grandfather who is a general, and she is nagging in my ear all day long."
"Can I leave Beijing?"
Liu Dingbei asked weakly.
If such a change occurs in the capital, even if it is calmed down, there are still many aftermaths that need to be dealt with.
As a general, he should be by His Majesty's side and help him solve his problems. How could he leave so easily?
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will mention this matter to His Majesty. Our Majesty is very open-minded and will definitely agree."
Zhao Ping said.
Knowing that her daughter is fine, she can have a chance to see her again.
Liu Dingbei burst into tears with excitement.
But he has not lost his mind because of this. On the contrary, he is very clear-headed.
Knowing that this was not the time to talk about this, he thanked Zhao Ping and took the initiative to change the subject.
"Uncle, why don't you tell me how to deal with Liu Lai's family?"
"After handling the affairs of the Liu family, we have to rush to the houses of other officials to deal with their affairs."
"Finish it as soon as possible so that my uncle can return to Xiping Village as soon as possible to celebrate the New Year."
"Kill him."
Mentioning this, Zhao Ping said coldly: "If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows."
"Liu Lai not only framed the Flying Eagle Army, but also deliberately plotted rebellion. The most important thing is that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. For his crime, the nine tribes should be punished."
"But it's not easy to go to war at the moment. Killing a second-grade member of the Nine Clans will involve a lot of things."
"We should deal with it as appropriate and destroy the entire Liu family first."
"Those from the nine tribes who are still alive should be investigated carefully, and those who are guilty will be dealt with together."
"If you are devoted to the Dawei Dynasty, your guilt can be reduced."
"okay, I get it."
Liu Dingbei nodded, "Uncle, go ahead and do your work, I will take care of the aftermath."
"Um."
Zhao Ping responded and left with his team.
He did not go directly to the next house, but drove the carriage back to the general's mansion.
He wanted to meet His Majesty and report what he had gained in the Liu Mansion to His Majesty and ask him to make a decision.
"Speak to the world and punish the nine tribes."
After hearing Zhao Ping's introduction and seeing those letters, Chen Xuan said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, wait, just wait."
Zhao Ping hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's not appropriate to get into a big fight over this matter."
"Why?"
Chen Xuan asked.
Zhao Ping asked: "I wonder if your majesty has ever heard of a sentence? Three years to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver."
"No."
Chen Xuan shook his head, "What is a prefect?"
"Official position."
Zhao Ping said: "It is equivalent to the county guard of our Dawei Dynasty."
"Three years of honest county governor can accumulate a hundred thousand taels of silver like snowflakes. It is conceivable how much silver can all the officials in the world be greedy for?"
"Especially the officials in the capital, I'm afraid no one's butt is clean, right?"
"Right now, I have arrested so many high-ranking officials. If I release just one Liu Lai and find out so many evidences of crimes, Your Majesty will kill all nine of his clans and will definitely chop off the heads of many people."
"Once the news gets out, what will other officials and their families think?"
"Will you run away after hearing the news?"
"Or will they unite to rebel?"
"One move affects the whole body."
"Your Majesty is currently suppressing bandits in Yuzhou, but if I alone handle it in the capital, it may be difficult to quell these rebellions."
"When that happens, the Dawei Dynasty will definitely fall into chaos."
"In the end, it is the common people who suffer."
"I hope Your Majesty will take pity on the people of the world and take back his life."
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
Chen Xuan humbly asked for advice.
"Reaching the house and destroying the family."
Zhao Ping said: "Everyone involved in this matter will be killed without leaving any trace."
"However, those servants, maids, etc. who are not aware of this matter and have not helped Liu Mansion do anything that violates the laws of the Wei Dynasty can choose to release them and restore their good status."
"Even if your majesty is more benevolent, you can send them to the northern suburbs and hand them over to the fairies."
"Why do this?"
Chen Xuan asked again.
"There are two points."
Zhao Ping stretched out two fingers and said, "First of all, just killing the perpetrators is a warning to the world not to violate the laws of the Wei Dynasty, otherwise, they will be sentenced to whatever crime they deserve."
"Even if you are a high-ranking official, you cannot escape the sanctions of the law."
"Secondly, releasing irrelevant personnel, restoring their good status, and giving them a hope of filling their stomachs can show His Majesty's benevolence."
"If there are really rebels among the family members of those officials, these people should not follow blindly."
"They might even be our helpers and take the initiative to tip us off."
"Or, stand up and fight those rebels to the end."
"Okay, I listen to you and give the order now."
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and agreed.
"You draw up the decree."
Zhao Ping said: "But don't forget, you are still suppressing bandits in Yuzhou, so try to send this edict two days later."
"I will go to the next house and continue searching for evidence."
"Try not to wrongly accuse a good person, and never let go of a person with evil intentions."
"Wait, Mr. Zhao, just wait."
Seeing Zhao Ping about to leave, Chen Xuan stopped him and asked, "Sir, where was the money you got from ransacking Liu Lai's house?"
