"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Bai Yuxian thanked him again, and then said.
"I also know that this matter has a great impact. If we don't punish it severely, it will not be enough to serve as a warning to others, and it will not be enough to establish the majesty of our laws in the Tang Dynasty."
"So I don't dare to ask Your Majesty to completely pardon the two of them. I just ask Your Majesty to be merciful and spare their lives. As for everything else, I can deal with it strictly. I suggest that Bai Wen and Bai Wu be sentenced to exile to atone for their sins. In this way, It demonstrates your majesty’s benevolence and does not lose sight of the majesty of your majesty and the law of the Tang Dynasty.”
After hearing this, Li Longji thought about it and felt that Bai Yuxian's proposal was indeed a good one.
First of all, the lives of Bai Wen and Bai Wu were spared. Bai Yuxian begged for mercy and demonstrated his benevolence. Otherwise, given the guilt of Bai Wen and Bai Wu, it would be appropriate to lose their heads.
Secondly, they were sentenced to exile. Although they did not directly behead their heads, this punishment was definitely not light. It was enough for brothers Bai Wen and Bai Wu to shed their skin without dying. This would also calm the public's anger and maintain the majesty of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
"In that case, let's follow Yuxian's words."
"Someone's coming."
"exist."
"A decree has been drawn up for me. Bai Wen and Bai Wu, the direct descendants of Wuhou Mansion, are lawless and unforgivable. They should be executed. However, thinking of Yuxian's intercession and Wuhou's past achievements, I will pardon their death penalty. However, The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The two were sentenced to twenty years of exile in Lingnan without pardon."
"promise."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Bai Yuxian bowed his hands again and thanked him.
In my heart, I couldn't help but mourn for brothers Bai Wen and Bai Wu.
Although he was not directly beheaded, he was directly exiled to Lingnan for twenty years, and the most important thing was that he was not pardonable.
Then these two people are undoubtedly finished for life.
The so-called exile means to exile a person to a certain place to work as a prisoner and coolie, just like a slave, and from then on he will live the life of a slave laborer.
And being unpardonable means that no matter what happens, the sentence cannot be reduced.
Otherwise, like this era, sometimes when the country encounters any happy event, especially when a new emperor ascends the throne, he will issue a general amnesty to show the benevolence of the new emperor. And this general amnesty means that all criminals and prisoners can be forgiven of their crimes.
Like some prisoners sentenced to exile, if they are lucky enough to encounter an amnesty, they may be pardoned while still on the road to exile.
But Li Longji is unpardonable, which means that Bai Wen and Bai Wu will not be able to pardon their crimes even if they encounter the opportunity of amnesty.
Basically, it means that the two people's punishment of exile for the past twenty years is ironclad and they can't even think about running away.
With Bai Wen and Bai Wu leading a pampered and indulgent life, Bai Yuxian seriously doubted whether the two brothers could survive twenty years of exile.
But these are not things Bai Yuxian considers.
If it weren't for the constraints of the same clan relationship, and the clan relationships in this era were extremely heavy and could not be easily shaken off, Bai Yuxian would not even bother to pay attention to this matter.
And if Bai Wen and Bai Wu could die directly, Bai Yuxian would not want it.
After all, if he wants to take charge of the Bai family in the future, he will find a way to deal with disasters like Bai Wen and Bai Wu even if this incident hadn't happened, so as not to hold him back.
Soon, Bai Yuxian came out of the palace and returned to Tiance Mansion.
Under Li Longji's edict, the verdicts of Bai Wen and Bai Wu also came directly.
The verdict pardoned Bai Wen and Bai Wu's death penalty, but they were sentenced to twenty years of exile in Lingnan without pardon.
As soon as this verdict comes out.
The inner palace of Wuhou Mansion was filled with gloom and gloom, especially Madam Mi, who sat directly on the chair and couldn't help crying.
Old Taijun Bai also felt unhappy.
Because this sentence is really second only to the death penalty, and may not even be lighter than the death penalty.
After all, anyone who understands the crime and punishment of exile knows that the probability of dying is much greater than the probability of surviving.
But fortunately, it is not a direct death sentence after all, at least it still makes people think about it, and their Wuhou Mansion can also help to take care of Lingnan, so that Bai Wen and Bai Wu can live more comfortably there.
"Okay, after all, my life has been saved. As long as my life is saved, everything else is easy to talk about. I will take care of myself on the way to exile and in Lingnan. I think Wen'er and Wu'er will not be so wronged. As long as you behave well, there may not be any chance of pardon in the future.”
Finally, Mrs. Bai spoke.
After hearing what Mrs. Bai said, Mrs. Mi stopped crying and felt better.
"Besides, Brother Xian, I still need to express my gratitude."
Mrs. Bai said again.
Everyone else in Wuhou Mansion had no objections when they heard this.
Because Bai Wen and Bai Wu survived this incident, it was indeed thanks to Bai Yuxian. Although the result was not as good as they hoped, they must accept this love.
And through this incident, they have a deeper understanding of Bai Yuxian's current energy.
It was a matter that the entire Wuhou Mansion was completely helpless to solve, but when they arrived at Bai Yuxian's place, they could go directly to the palace to see the emperor.
This also shows how powerful Bai Yuxian’s Sacred Heart is now.
This makes it even more necessary for them to seize Bai Yuxian's relationship.
Moreover, Mrs. Bai is more concerned about what Bai Yuxian said before. The entire Wuhou Mansion may have left a bad impression in the emperor's mind. If this is the case, then if they want to restore this impression, Wuhou alone can do it. It is basically impossible to move the government.
Only by relying on Bai Yuxian can we have a chance.
Fortunately, Brother Xian is here!
At this moment, Mrs. Bai could not help but feel a sense of joy in her heart.
If it hadn't been for the rise of Bai Yuxian and his current status, Wuhou Mansion didn't know what they would have done this time.
As for the Weihou Mansion, if they really wanted to pursue the case forcefully, the Wuhou Mansion would not know how to resist it.
But now that Bai Yuxian exists, I believe that the Weihou Mansion will not dare to continue to pursue excessive blame.
——
"This incident is all thanks to Brother Xian."
"If Brother Xian hadn't helped, I really wouldn't have known what to do."
"Thank you, Brother Xian. Auntie is here to pray to you and thank you."
"Lan'er, thank you Brother Yuxian on behalf of your two incompetent brothers. If it weren't for your help, your two incompetent brothers would never have survived this time."
"Lan'er thanks the clan brothers on behalf of the two elder brothers."
Soon, Mrs. Bai came to Tiance Mansion again with all the female relatives of Wuhou Mansion, and thanked Mrs. Mi and Bai Lan together.
"Old Taijun, Aunt Mi, and Sister Lan'er are welcome. They are all from the Bai family. Among the same clan, Yuxian will not stand by and watch. However, it is best not to let similar things happen again in the future." Bai Yuxian said.
"Brother Xian is right, Brother Xian can rest assured. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. From now on, the children in the mansion will be strictly disciplined." Mrs. Bai immediately promised.
Bai Yuxian was noncommittal when he heard this. Anyway, he wouldn't believe even a single punctuation mark of what Old Taijun Bai said.
If Mrs. Bai really had the ability to discipline the children of the head of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion, how could the entire descendants of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion be where they are today.
But these Bai Jade Immortals are too lazy to say anything.
Anyway, he has now moved out of Wuhou Mansion and established a new branch. Wuhou Mansion can do whatever he wants to commit suicide.
With his current status and favor in Li Longji's heart, as long as he does not commit suicide, no matter how Wuhou Mansion attempts to commit suicide, it is basically impossible to implicate him. He only needs to do a good job on the surface.
Even the collapse of Wuhou Mansion is a good thing for Bai Yuxian, as he can directly and logically support the entire Bai family's banner.
But now, Wuhou Mansion is still the nominal head of the Bai family.
After simply listening to the thanks from Mrs. Bai and others, Bai Yuxian directly chose to leave and return to Zhulinxuan alone to start practicing.
In the following time, Bai Yuxian did not pay much attention to the affairs of Wuhou Mansion, and his main focus was once again devoted to the cultivation of [Health Master].
Now he is only one step away from the perfection of [Health Master].
However, the breakthrough of [Health Preserver] to the Great Perfection requires 100 million cultivation points. At Bai Yuxian's current cultivation speed and his current cultivation time of ten hours a day, it may take twenty days.
In addition, Bai Yuxian has also been paying attention to the situation between Tiancejun and Qin Yuniang.
Now half a month has passed, the holiday of Tiance Army has ended, and the entire Tiance Army has once again entered into the usual hard training. At the same time, the recruitment of additional troops for Tiance Army has officially begun under the auspices of Feng Changqing. There is also an endless stream of people signing up, thanks to the previous victory of Xiangzhou Hongqingshan.
In addition, after this period of preparations, Qin Yuniang's restaurant has also been successfully opened. At the same time, it has contacted and communicated with the Liu family and Qin family in Xiangzhou. The cooperation has been formally established, and the business line has officially entered the right track under the auspices of Qin Yuniang. .
Just when Bai Yuxian thought that everything was on track, he could completely concentrate on his cultivation.
Results a few days later.
What Bai Yuxian never expected was that there was another thunderstorm in Wuhou Mansion.
It was Bai Yusheng who was struck by thunder this time.
The cause of the incident was that Bai Yusheng had an affair with a personal maid named Xiaoyu beside him, and he even got the maid Xiaoyu pregnant.
Originally, this was not a big deal. In this era, most of the personal maids of wealthy families were maids who were prepared to stay in bed.
If you are pregnant, you can just openly take her as a concubine.
As a result, Bai Yusheng became frightened when he learned about it. He refused to admit the incident and put all the blame on the maid Xiaoyu, saying that she had seduced him.
Then after Mrs. Wang learned the news, she drove the maid Xiaoyu out of Wuhou Mansion without saying a word, thinking that the maid Xiaoyu shamelessly seduced her son and ruined the reputation of her son Bai Yusheng.
The maid Xiaoyu also chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well at night in Wuhou Mansion because she couldn't accept it and couldn't think about it for a moment.
The most important thing is that the maid Xiaoyu died with hatred. After she threw herself into a well and died, strange things happened.
