Prefect Xu was stunned.

He glanced at Qin Laiwang in front of him: "I shouldn't have let my daughter marry you!"

"Daughter, don't be fooled by his slander. That's your own brother. Do you have the heart to let your father and I send a white-haired man to a black-haired man?"

After Xu Taishou finished speaking, his nose burst into tears again.

"I know that after my mother left, I treated you badly in many ways, but you also know that daddy loves you from the bottom of his heart."

Xu Xiangling squeezed the veil and listened quietly to everything her father said.

Yes, when mother was still there, father loved her the most.

Knowing that she likes the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from West Street, I made a detour to buy them for her.

She just mentioned that the candied haws at Liu Ermazi's house were delicious, and her father would also skewer them in the streets and alleys, and went to Liu Ermazi just to buy her a bunch of candied haws.

Eunuch Xu took out a hairpin from his sleeve again: "Look, father made the hairpin on purpose when he found out that you were going to marry, and you also know that your second mother has kept your father's shadow. It was also saved by me after a long time of hard work, and it also has your name on it, inlaid with your favorite pearls."

"It's a pity that the weather is not good, and there is drought and famine. It's hard for Daddy to find you, so he can only carry it close to his body."

After he finished speaking, he sent the hairpin in front of her: "Look, although the material is a bit stingy, this style is what you like."

Xiangling just quietly looked at the hairpin Xu Taishou handed over, the hairpin was small and exquisite, made of five pearls together to make petals, with ruby ​​as the flower center, it was really beautiful.

"Because Daddy loves you so much, why don't you help little brother once?"

Prefect Xu continued to beg bitterly, but at this moment Xiangling's outstretched hand was clenched again.

"Father, you should go back. The Empress Dowager has her own decision on this matter. If he really committed a crime, no matter how many good things your father said, it will be useless. If he is innocent, the Empress Empress will definitely not do anything to him. Sample."

"On the contrary, it's Daddy, you are old enough to make a scene at the gate of the palace, aren't you afraid that your former colleagues will see the joke? Daddy thinks it's our face that's being lost, but in fact it's his own."

Those words made the prefect Xu froze in place for an instant.

He stared blankly at his daughter entering the palace again, without leaving him a word.

Qin Zhiyi has long been waiting for Xiangling and Laiwang in the palace.

The scene that happened just now was actually reported to her in advance.

And here, Eunuch Fu also made a new discovery.

Mr. Fu said fairly: "Your Majesty, I questioned you carefully. Although he robbed the girls, he didn't seem to be serious about it. Those girls are all perfect."

After hearing this, she was also a little curious: "How do you say that?"

Eunuch Fu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "That's right, the slave just checked it out. This Second Young Master Xu is already useless because he went in and out of the brothel too early. Those girls who were arrested were just arrested."

After listening to Eunuch Fu's words, and thinking about Second Young Master Xu's behavior before, it's not hard to imagine that Second Young Master Xu killed himself.

So she said: "Regardless of whether they are perfect or not, if he captured those girls, the innocence of those girls would be ruined. This is also his fault. Please work hard for Eunuch Fu to count the victims and make a decision when the time comes."

Eunuch Fu left in response, and Laiwang and Xiangling also came back at this time.

She smiled at them and asked, "How is it going?"

Xiang Ling said: "It's almost done. I've told him the pros and cons of the matter, but... Daddy is more confused than before."

In fact, Qin Zhiyi can also understand her mood.

So he took her hand and comforted him: "I've heard about your family's affairs, and now Second Young Master Xu has come to this point, in fact, they are all used to it."

"Here is the dossier. It's all done by Second Young Master Xu. Take a look."

After she finished speaking, she put the file in Xiangling's hand.

Xiangling took the file, and Qin Zhiyi continued to talk: "These are all clues provided by the people, and I have someone sort them out. Your father's official position is only the prefect, what did your second mother eat? How dare you do such a thing.”

Xiangling read the contents of the dossier word by word, and then handed the dossier to Laiwang.

Laiwang also looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more wrinkled his brows became.

In the end, he put the dossier in the hands of Eunuch Fu, and then asked, "How does Auntie plan to deal with Mr. Xu?"

Qin Zhiyi glanced at Xiangling, and Xiangling squeezed the veil tightly at this moment, and also turned his gaze to her.

She said: "The case of this person has been handed over to the Department of Punishment, which has its own decision, but according to past experience, if he confesses voluntarily, he will be fined at least fifty times."

She is very clear about fifty boards, and those who can bear it will not die or be disabled.

Xiangling and Laiwang also understood, and after hearing this, they both looked at each other.

Cases are processed quickly.

The Department of Punishment was indeed as she had guessed, with a staff of [-]. In addition, the victim's family had to be compensated in silver.

The battle of responsibility began in public. Master Xu Er was dragged on the stool by several people, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and then one board after another fell down.

The onlookers were all the families of the victims. They all clenched their fists and were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush up and eat the flesh.

After only playing twenty big boards, it can be seen that Second Young Master Xu can't take it anymore.

His whole body was soaked with sweat, and he was lying on the stool and humming non-stop.

Because her mouth was gagged, she could only grunt.

The [-] big slaps were not light at all, his buttocks were already covered in blood very quickly.

Mrs. Xu also rushed over at this time, seeing her precious son being beaten like this, she was already crying badly.

Taishou Xu supported his wife, also bursting into tears.

Mrs. Xu didn't know what to do, so she just scratched and scratched at Prefect Xu for a while.

"It's all your fault. Your ineffective daughter can save her brother, but she is a wolf-hearted dog. I wish her brother would have a better life!"

"Tell me about you, why did you give birth to such a white-eyed wolf daughter?"

Prefect Xu stood there like a wooden man, letting his wife fight and make trouble.

Until the end, Second Young Master Xu was directly knocked out.

Just when the people next to him were about to pour a basin of cold water on him to wake him up and continue beating him, the prefect Xu pounced on him and begged bitterly: "Please, don't beat him anymore, he will die if you keep beating him up."

"Can I bear the remaining [-] boards? If you hit me, I can withstand it with my old bones. He's still young."

Mrs. Xu also rushed forward at this time: "Yes, you can hit me, we kowtow to you!"
