I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Wei Mingji sat on the high platform, and on the seat beside him sat a familiar woman, Chen Xinan.

Kneeling under the high platform was Cao Yi with white hair, two human leg bones and a blood-stained drum stood beside him.

The brothers, nephews and sisters of the Cao family were tied up and stood beside them with their mouths gagged.Mrs. Ouyang collapsed on the ground, fainted.

There is an altar on the opposite side, surrounded by flames, Wu Zhu wields his sword and performs religious rituals, and a group of Taoist priests are chanting sutras around the altar. On the altar are the three heads of Cao's father and son.

Step by step, Lin Xingwei walked barefoot on the stone school grounds of Shangdu Prefecture. She ignored the pain and approached Wei Mingji step by step.

The visitor's hair was disheveled, her feet without shoes and socks were stained with blood, and even the hem of the plain skirt was stained with blood. Her hair was blown onto her face by the wind, covering a little of her face. Wei Mingji didn't recognize her for a while. Who came out? It wasn't until she got closer that she recognized Lin Xingwei.

Wei Mingji's eyes darkened as he watched her approach step by step, he hadn't seen her for a month, and she was haggard beyond 01:30.

Lin Xingwei stopped in front of the high platform, raised his head and asked, "You have killed Mr. Cao and his two sons, and you have taken revenge. Can you let the rest of the Cao family go?"

"During the Yingchuan Rebellion, Aunt Ouyang hadn't married Cao Rong yet, and Cao Yi had nothing to do with it. Can you spare them?"

"If the drum doesn't sound today, I wouldn't let him go!" Wei Mingji wore a terrifying mask, and Lin Xing shuddered slightly with the stern look in his eyes.

Chen Xinan smiled, and said loudly: "The chief of Ning County came to watch the sacrifice, why don't you dress neatly? You are disrespectful to the deceased General Zhao Yu!"

Wei Mingji glared at Chen Xinan, and Chen Xinan shut his mouth embarrassingly.

Wei Mingji said: "No hurry, I will have plenty of time, as long as the prefect Cao beats the drums during the sacrifice to help me complete the sacrifice to the late General Zhao Jue and Yangzhai soldiers, I will let the rest of the Cao family go."

"Do you have to do this?" Lin Xingwei asked.

Wei Mingji was categorical and unquestionable, "Definitely."

Lin Xingwei knelt down on the ground and bowed: "I am your fiancée, General. I should fight against the enemy and work together with the General. The General wants to avenge the people and soldiers who died in General Zhao Jue and the Yingchuan Rebellion. I encourage you to come!" knock!"

Wei Mingji clenched his fists until his joints turned white, and looked at Lin Xingwei's actions with hatred.

The hatred in Cao Yi's eyes was unstoppable, and he watched Lin Xingwei pick up his father's bloody leg bone from the ground in amazement and beat the drumhead made of his father's whole skin.

Once again and again...

The sound of the drum was harsh, and Cao Yi clutched his chest and fainted.

Wu Zhu began to sing and dance, the soldiers of the Yangzhai Army began to cheer, Wu Zhu threw three heads into the fire, and the Cao family all cried...

Lin Xingwei beat the drum, her arm was so sore, she still persisted.

As long as this sacrifice is completed, the innocent members of the Cao family will be fine, and Wei Mingji's crimes will be less serious. If someone in the court impeaches Wei Mingji, she can defend him.

Lin Xingwei beat the drum with all his strength, and the sound was loud. After three full hours, the three heads in the fire were turned into ashes, and the sacrifice stopped.

During the period, the prince's troops were about to rush in, and Bao Shang asked the prince to wait on the wall, swearing that their general would never rebel, and only needed to hold an undisturbed sacrifice.

The crown prince and the fourth prince heard that General Wei held this sacrifice specially for the soldiers and common people who died in the Yingchuan Rebellion. They did not act rashly. The fourth prince, as a descendant of the Zhao clan, dismounted and knelt down to worship.

After the sacrifice, Lin Xingwei put down the "drumstick", walked to the high platform and asked, "Can I take the Cao family away?"

Wei Mingji did not make a sound, and acquiesced.

Lin Xingwei walked up to Cao Yi, the blow was too great, he was in a trance, Lin Xingwei picked him up and carried him out of the school yard in Shangdufu.

"Aren't you his fiancée? If you don't stand with him, why are you saving us?" Cao Yi murmured on Lin Xingwei's shoulder.

"I saved you all because I saved him," Lin Xingwei said.

"You saved us, and I won't thank you." Cao Yi looked at Lin Xingwei's fair neck with hatred, and could smell the faint scent of flowers on her body in his breath.

This is the closest he has ever been to Lin Xingwei. There is no throbbing, only endless hatred.

The Cao family is over, and he, the prefect, has also done his best, and his many wives and concubines will also be separated.

All the fighting spirit he had raised because of Lin Xingwei in his life was over at this moment.

Lin Xingwei panted and said, "I don't want you to thank me. You came here to help my fiancé. If you are alive, there will be fewer people impeaching him, and his crimes will be less....My legs hurt and my arms hurt too. Can you stop talking?"

"Let me down, I'll go by myself."

As soon as he left the gate of Shangdu Mansion, Cao Yi slid off Lin Xingwei's back and fell to the ground without standing still.

Lin Xingwei reached out to help him up.

Cao Yi saw her skinned and bleeding feet, shook his dizzy head, took off his shoes, kicked them to Lin Xingwei's feet, "Put on and go."

Lin Xingwei didn't refuse. Putting on the shoes that were too big for her to walk, her torn feet felt more comfortable.

Cao Yi ignored Lin Xingwei and turned to wait for her mother.All the members of the Cao family were released, showing no gratitude to Lin Xingwei, and passing her by as if she were air.

The Prince's men rushed into Shangdu Mansion. They wanted to bring Wei Mingji into the palace and explain to the government and the public why he treated the Cao family so cruelly.

In the court hall, Wei Mingji didn't explain anything, only saying that Cao Rong and his son should die.

Chen Xinan's testimony is: "Back then, Cao Rong and He Zheng conspired to rebel together. It was He Zheng's first soldier, Cao Rong was his assistant. He Zheng's soldiers caused the Yingchuan tragedy. Cao Rong stood on the wall and shot him to death with a cold arrow. General Zhao Yu and his wife."

"Afterwards, He Zheng's power declined and he asked Cao Rong for help many times. At this time, Cao Rong did not want to be with He Zheng, so he besieged He Zheng with General Lu. With this, Cao Rong completely cleared his identity and entered the Chaotang."

Chen Xinan looked at His Majesty pitifully, "This is what my father, Chen Rui, told my ministers. My father also helped them in a daze after listening to He Zheng and Cao Rong's advice. The ministers endured the humiliation and survived, as if thinking that one day they would be able to do so." Help General Wei to find out the case."

His Majesty glanced at Chen Xinan with understanding, Chen Xinan had already said these words to His Majesty, but today he just said it again in front of the court ministers.

If Wei Mingji hadn't left Chen Xinan behind, everyone wouldn't have doubted Cao Rong for a while.

Wei Mingji investigated secretly for two or three years, and only then did he collect a lot of evidence that Cao Rong and He Zheng conspired together.

Master Huang Shu gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to say: "Since Cao Rong is guilty, General Wei has collected evidence and the court will deal with Cao Rong together. Why did General Wei lynch him? He still used such cruel methods!"

Wei Mingji calmly said: "If the rebellious minister is killed, he will be killed. You don't care if I am cruel or not! Cao Rong's two sons were also killed by me. No matter how His Majesty wants to deal with the minister, the minister has no complaints!"

The emperor glared at Wei Mingji, and motioned him to say a few words less.I wanted to find a way to let everyone get out of this matter, but Wei Mingji lifted me up like this, and I couldn't deal with it.

Master Song An cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, General Wei should be retried for whether he should be punished properly, and the case cannot be concluded so hastily. General Wei and Nanyang Houfu have Princess Ning and are related, and it has been twenty-nine years since Princess Ning , if you delay, you won't be able to get married."

Huang Shu immediately choked: "Are you going to let such a cruel Wei Mingji go just because Princess Ning can't get married?"

Song An resentfully said nothing.
