Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 194
Without even thinking about it, the emperor motioned to the imperial guards to bring him up.

The person who was brought up was a middle-aged woman who looked familiar at first glance, carrying a gray package.

The woman was wearing the same blue clothes as the ladies in the palace, but she had a Kunqiu hat on her head, which made her look a bit nondescript.

"Isn't this Master Zhiyun?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Now everyone recognized that the person dressed as a palace nun was Master Zhiyun of Baotong Temple.

"What on earth is going on?" Emperor Long Yan was furious and asked coldly.

The imperial guard lifted the Kunqiu hat on Zhiyun's head, revealing Zhiyun's bare head.Zhiyun lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to look at the crowd.

The imperial guard then said:
"Your Majesty, while on patrol, my subordinates discovered this man sneaking around the palace gate and wanted to escape, so he was caught."

At this point, no matter how stupid the emperor was, he understood that he had been deceived.Then he said angrily:

"How dare you, Zhiyun, to deceive me!"

Seeing this, Chu Yuan on the side stepped forward and added calmly:
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, Wei Chen has sent his men to find out the details of Zhiyun."

"This person's common name is Xu Liuniang. She was originally a supervisor of Shitou Nunnery in Wuzhou, Jiangnan, and her religious name was Xuanyun. This person dominated the nunnery for a long time and forced other nuns in the nunnery to become prostitutes. Later, some nuns could not bear the oppression and escaped from the nunnery. Now, go to the government office and report to the official."

"This person took his belongings and ran away to the capital area overnight, forged an ultimatum, changed his legal name to Zhiyun, and entered Baotong Temple. This matter is recorded in detail in the Wuzhou official documents. Your Majesty can send someone to verify it."

Zhiyun didn't expect that his old records would be revealed. Thinking of this, he hugged the package in his arms even more tightly.

"Come here, bring me the package in her arms!" The emperor said angrily when he saw this.

The guard next to her hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhiyun's package. This package was Zhiyun's life. She held it tightly and refused to let go.

While drinking, the package was torn open, and the white silver inside was scattered on the floor.All of them are serious official silver, with some scattered silver.

When everyone saw this scene, they all exclaimed in unison.Unexpectedly, this Master Zhiyun secretly collected so much money. It seemed that she was planning to run away.

People from Qintian Prison stepped forward at the right time and reported:

"Your Majesty, the people from Qintian Prison have found out that there has been no blood moon anywhere recently. I am afraid that someone is deceiving Your Majesty about this matter."

Judge Lu from Tai Hospital also stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor at the front has sent a message. The abnormality discovered this time is not a plague, but someone deliberately poisoning."

By now, no matter how stupid the emperor was, he understood that he had been deceived and fooled this time.

He was furious at the moment and said coldly:
"Zhiyun has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Come and imprison Zhiyun in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. All crimes will be investigated and executed."

Zhiyun was so frightened that he froze on the spot, trembling all over, and had no time to defend himself when he was dragged away by the guards.

She didn't expect that she would lose her head just because she wanted to be greedy for more money this time.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged and he continued to give orders:

"The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang failed to review my instructions clearly and deceived the emperor. He was dismissed from his post and investigated."

The two thundering orders in succession scared Concubine Ning to the point of turning pale, fearing that she would be the next to be punished.

The third prince on the side was afraid that he would be implicated, and now he wanted to cut off his relationship with Concubine Ning.

However, the emperor did not mention Concubine Ning.Instead, he changed his previous harsh tone and said gently to Xia Keyu:
"Master Yong'an County, I have wrongly blamed you this time. Let's do this. I will reward you with a hundred acres of fertile land near the suburbs of Beijing as a token of appeasement. Leave this matter to the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Xia Keyu was immediately overjoyed. The displeasure of being imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion was gone. He knelt down on the ground to thank him and shouted:
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty~"

That was a full one hundred acres of fertile land, which meant that Xia Keyu had gone from being impoverished to now having a house and fertile land gifted by the royal family, and now he had become a small landowner.

Besides, there is no need to pay taxes to the government for the fertile land gifted by the royal family, so how could Xia Keyu be reluctant.

Xia Keyu couldn't help but be happy. This attitude made the emperor quite satisfied. "Get off and go back to the palace~"

As the little eunuch's shrill voice sounded, the emperor's bright yellow canopy became farther and farther away, and many ministers also left.

Xia Keyu then saluted Fan Chenglong's body and said, "Keyu, meet your uncle~"

This was the first time Fan Chenglong saw Xia Keyu. He said with a loving face:

"Unexpectedly, little Keyu has already grown into a lady like everyone else."

He looked at Xia Keyu as if he saw his sister when she was young.

The family then took the carriage back happily.

"Miss, Duke Chu's carriage is also following behind." Qingya whispered.

Fan Chenglong on the side heard this, smiled and twirled his beard and said: "I see, this Duke of Chu is quite a good man, with a calm temperament."

Fan Shuyao on the side also added: "Yes, this time it is also thanks to Duke Chu, otherwise Yu'er would have been framed by others."

The group of people began to discuss Xia Keyu's marriage enthusiastically.

Looking at this happy scene, Xia Keyu felt warm in his heart.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, Aunt Rong held her face, which had been whipped by Fan Shuyao, and staggered forward to find her daughter.

When they arrived at Xia Keyu's mansion, Fan Shen and Fan Yin were already waiting there.

The maids came and went to entertain everyone, serving tea, fruits, snacks, hot towels, etc.

The house began to kill chickens and cook sheep, and prepare a luncheon to entertain distinguished guests. It was a lively scene, so happy.

"This is the best mutton I brought from Mobei. Ke Yu will eat more soon. None of you can steal it from Ke Yu." Fan Chenglong specifically asked.

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly expressed that they did not dare, and they had to focus on Xia Keyu first.

Xia Keyu felt the feeling of being favored, and was deeply moved.

Taking advantage of the time to change clothes, Fan Shuyao went into the inner room with Xia Keyu.

"Qingya, you go out first, I have something to say to the lady." Fan Shuyao said to Qingya.

Qingya heard the sound and stepped out in a hurry.

"Ke Yu, Lord Chu has helped you so much this time. Have you thought about how to express your gratitude?"

Fan Shuyao's words made Xia Keyu a little confused. She shook her head. She had never thought of thanking Chu Yuan.

She was kind to Chu Yuan for saving her life, and Chu Yuan was just reciprocating her kindness.

"Silly boy, men also need to give you some sweetness and coax you."

As Fan Shuyao spoke, she straightened Xia Keyu's collar lovingly, and suddenly said: "By the way, I have something to ask you."

Then he asked a question.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Keyu stood on his head with hair all over his body, his eyes widened, and he looked at Fan Shuyao in front of him with surprise, and a chill rose up his back.
