my wife is wonderful

Chapter 306 Everything is just right (final chapter)

Emperor Sheng Ning nodded with a calm expression. It was obvious that he had already anticipated Qi Yue's arrival. What's more, Qi Yue was arranged by him.

"Announce!" Emperor Sheng Ning's voice was low and a little hoarse. If it weren't for the fact that the court was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, people might not be able to hear clearly what he said.

"Commander Xuan Qi, please come to see the emperor!" Eunuch Rong stood at the door of the court and called loudly. There was no other way, as he did not bring the little eunuch with him today, so he had to come alone.

A moment later, Qi Yue strode in. Without even glancing at the other people in the court, he walked directly in front of Emperor Sheng Ning, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

"Say!"

"I have successfully led people into Qingluo Mountain a month ago and discovered that there are nearly 20,000 soldiers hiding in Qingluo Mountain. We have now recruited all of them. Due to the large number of people, I have only brought back 23 of the main criminals and accomplices. The rest of the soldiers will be temporarily guarded by the Canghan Guards!"

Qi Yue's words were extremely concise, with only results but no process. However, almost everyone in the courtroom understood the meaning of Qi Yue's words.

"Bring the people up!" Emperor Sheng Ning said in a calm voice.

"Yes!" Qi Yue replied with a bow.

Soon, the Dali Temple court was filled with the twenty-three people that Qi Yue brought back to Ningdu kneeling down.

King Ping's mind was blank at this moment. Although today's events were like huge rocks pressing on his heart, he was no longer able to think about how to move those heavy rocks and feel relieved.

However, the arrival of Qi Yue and the twenty-three people he brought from Qinglu Mountain were like a mountain suddenly pressed down from the huge rocks. The rocks under the mountain were smashed into powder, and the hearts under the rocks were covered in blood and flesh and could hardly beat anymore.

King Ping thought that since he had prepared to do these things, he had already prepared himself for failure. If that day really came, he would be able to face it calmly, even without fear of life or death.

But the fact is, this day has finally come and he can't do everything he imagined.

He is not the person he imagined, he is not that powerful.

With a plop, King Ping knelt down, his face pale. At this moment, if his old illness had relapsed by coincidence, no one would not believe it.

But at the moment, it was obvious that King Ping could not think of this. Although his complexion was bad, he did not seem to have any other discomfort.

With King Ping in such a state, there is almost no need to interrogate him.

It seems that among the people brought by Qi Yue are King Ping's confidants, and King Ping does not have the confidence that he can make these twenty-three people keep their mouths shut.

"Go on!" Emperor Sheng Ning spoke in a calm voice, without letting Prince Ping stand up. His eyes even passed over him, and it was unknown where he was looking.

The subsequent interrogation went smoothly. The charge that King Ping recruited soldiers privately was confirmed. As for the purpose of his recruitment, although neither King Ping nor the twenty-three people brought back from Qingluo Mountain admitted that they had any ill intentions, the facts were there. It was just a matter of whether they did it or not.

As for the fact that Prince Ping had a concubine in Jinyue Hutong and had an illegitimate child who was nearly three years old, Prince Ping himself admitted it, so there is nothing to argue about.

"Sister Xu was always worried about whether she would be summoned to the court to testify, but now it seems that won't happen!"

Geng Xingshuang was relieved for Xu Lianyang in her heart, as she knew that Xu Lianyang was very afraid of going to court.

Zhu Yan didn't say anything, but listened attentively to the sounds from next door. Now Zhu Ni and Zhang Kexin were being interrogated.

Zhu Ni is the eldest wife of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Now, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion has collapsed, and Zhu Ni and Wu Qiyu have not divorced. Wu Qiyu is dead. Unless the elders of the Wu family divorce her on her behalf, Zhu Ni will be a member of the Wu family regardless of life or death, and will share the honor and disgrace of the Wu family.

"Zhu, Zhang, the kidnapping of Xinping County Lady and Lingshuang County Lady has been investigated and you two were also involved. Do you have anything to say?"

When interrogating Prince Ping before, Fan Kai still had some concerns, but now that things have developed to this point, Fan Kai feels that he can say whatever he wants or ask whatever he wants.

Therefore, his voice sounded much more relaxed and less serious than before.

Zhang Kexin smiled at the three judges in the court and said indifferently: "Your Excellency, just read the verdict directly. It's late now. We can eat lunch in this court. Don't you want to go back home to have a hot meal? So don't waste time!"

As soon as Zhang Kexin said this, everyone in the court had different expressions. Even Emperor Sheng Ning glanced at the eighth girl of the Zhang family who was kneeling in the hall.

Fan Kai's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Since you have nothing to say, then just sign it!"

A bailiff came forward with paper and pen. Zhang Kexin picked up the pen and signed without saying a word.

But the ink never fell on the paper, and she was pushed down by Zhu Ni who suddenly pounced on her.

"You can't sign!" Zhu Ni looked panic-stricken, but her eyes were glaring fiercely at the piece of paper with their charges written on it in the hands of the bailiff. Suddenly, she reached out to grab the confession.

But her attack missed. The bailiff seemed to have expected this and pulled his hand back, successfully avoiding Zhu Ni's attack.

Seeing Zhu Ni fall to the ground after missing his target, the bailiff breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had foresight, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.

"I want to see my big sister. I didn't hurt her. I want to see her!"

Being held down by two yamen runners, Zhu Ni screamed hoarsely.

"I will not go out. What she did, whether it was right or wrong, and how she was convicted, has nothing to do with me."

Zhu Ni said in a low voice, "If those people in the Black Scorpion Village hadn't been afraid of my father's power on the road, I would have been..." Zhu Yan paused slightly and said in a calm voice: "She and Zhang Kexin have always spared no effort to trick me! Now that we are in the Dali Temple court, she still expects me to save her. Sister Shuang, tell me, in her eyes, am I just a paper tiger that looks strong but is weak inside, so until now, she thinks I will be soft-hearted?"

Geng Xingshuang was about to speak when she heard an impatient shout from next door, "Shut up!"

It was Zhang Kexin’s voice.

Zhu Ni's scream stopped abruptly, but soon she burst into laughter.

"Zhang Ba, haven't you always been high and mighty? Even when the eldest prince fell and the Zhang family fell into decline, you still held your head high. You thought you were still the Miss Zhang Ba who could walk sideways in Ningdu City. Oh, by the way, even when the eldest prince was still Prince Li and the Zhang family was still prosperous, you, Miss Zhang Ba, did not have everything you wanted. For the sake of a man and a promise from Prince Ping, you gave the eldest prince and the Zhang family's years of planning to Prince Ping. Haha, the Zhang family has raised someone like you, which is really unlucky for eight lifetimes. Look at you, you still refuse to bow your head. The man you love is right next to you. He is in a brocade robe and you are in prison clothes. He is standing and you are kneeling. He will marry and have children in the future. What about you? How do you think your future will be? Hahaha!"

Zhu Ni laughed loudly, looking crazy.

Zhang Kexin stared at Zhu Ni with bloodshot eyes. It was not that she did not want to rush over and slap Zhu Ni on the face, but the yamen runners were already prepared. Two of them held her tightly, so that no matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward a single step.

On this day, Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were not summoned to court in the end. After the case was tried, without waiting for the verdict, they were respectfully escorted out of the Dali Temple by the bailiffs.

The two met Zhu Yue and Yang Qingmo outside the Dali Temple.

"Yan'er, are you going back with Dad?"

Zhu Yue was ready to abandon his horse and ride in a carriage with his daughter. He had gone to the government office today and was afraid that his daughter might be frightened, so he comforted her on the way.

Yang Qingmo also looked at his fiancée, "Shall I take you home?"

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan shook their heads at the same time, "It's not dark yet, let's go to Mingshang Pavilion and see how the new spring clothes are selling!"

He also had to stop by Yannian Hall to tell Xu Lianyang that the case was over and she didn't have to go to court to testify.

"She is worthy of being my daughter! She is capable of taking on responsibilities!" Zhu Yue looked at his daughter's back, with the corners of his mouth raised, and boasted in a very good mood.

Yang Qingmo said nothing, but jumped on his horse and said, "General, goodbye!"

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry..." Zhu Yue wanted to pull him aside to ask about Nie An's situation.

"There is something unfinished. I will visit the General another day!"

"I haven't finished my vacation yet. What's the matter? Are you trying to get a job in the future?"

Zhu Yue murmured as he watched Yang Qingmo and his horse going away.

Yang Qingmo was naturally not rushing around for a future appointment. After returning from the north, whether he would continue to return to the Hanlin Academy or have other arrangements would have to wait until his vacation was over and he reported to the Ministry of Personnel.

He had to take advantage of his free time to write down the words his fiancée had been thinking about. He felt that after this vacation, he would not have much time in the days that followed.

Yang Qingmo’s guess was correct. After his vacation, he went to the Ministry of Personnel to receive his appointment letter.

"The deputy commander of the Wunan Guard, a fourth-rank official?"

After seeing his son's appointment letter, Yang Shaojing pondered and said, "The emperor said before that you are both civil and military. Although you entered the government through the imperial examination, judging from the war last year, you are capable of being a civil official or a military general. So he asked me, do you prefer to be a civil official or a military general?"

Although Yang Shaojing did not say his answer, Yang Qingmo already knew his answer.

He said: "Whether they are civil officials or military generals, they all serve the country and the people of Daning, so both are acceptable."

Yang Shaojing nodded. "Mincheng and the surrounding Jiaocheng, Yuzhou and other places have been resented by the people because the first, second and even third princes secretly mined and recruited cheap or even robbed laborers as miners. In addition, Hao Yan has not always been on good terms with our Daning. The emperor sent you there, so you need to be cautious and flexible."

Yang Qingmo nodded, "I understand, don't worry, father."

Yang Shaojing suddenly thought of something and said, "I heard that the reason you were sent to Wunan Guard this time was because the commander of Wunan Guard, Jiang Liao, submitted a memorial to the emperor asking for someone."

Yang Qingmo nodded, "I know about this." He heard it from Jiang Xingwen. Jiang Liao is his father.

"It's not easy for him to maintain this level in Wunanwei all these years. The fact that the emperor has allowed him to stay there shows that he is quite satisfied with him."

Yang Shaojing stopped there and didn't say anything more. Yang Qingmo understood what he meant.

Yang Shaojing looked at his son's young and handsome face, and suddenly asked with a smile: "You will be away for three years. What about your marriage with Shuang Jie'er..."

"Let's get married three years later, but you and mother can prepare now!" Yang Qingmo had almost no hesitation.

"Sister Shuang will be eighteen in three years!"

"Eighteen... everything is just right!"

Yang Qingmo smiled meaningfully.

ps: This article was written intermittently. Over the past year or so, I have been busy with things in the three-dimensional world and have not been able to calm down. I have only barely finished it here. I originally wanted to write about what happens after marriage, but... forget it, let Sister Shuang enjoy some more free and leisurely girlhood!
As for the name of this article, let's leave it to the future, and let the hero slowly experience it (actually, the author is incompetent in naming, so let it be like this!)

Thank you to all the friends who have been with me for so long and have tolerated the occasional interruption! Thank you for your company!
