Wei An's tone had always been unhurried, as if nothing could make her angry. But at this moment, her voice suddenly seemed particularly cold. She leaned over and looked at Master Xu, and said in a deep voice, "You set fire and almost burned everyone in the posthouse to death. No matter how you put it, this is a heinous crime that is unforgivable. In addition, you attempted to collude with bandits to assassinate the princess, which is a capital crime. So even if I kill you on the spot now, it is what I deserve."
Her words were very decisive and she spoke very quickly. Uncle Xu did not react for a while. When he finally reacted, he could not help but raise his voice and laughed twice, as if he had heard a great joke. He laughed so hard that he bent over backwards. Now he did not have to worry about so much. Uncle Xu did not give Wei An face, nor did he leave room for himself. He sneered and said, "Kill me? If you really kill me, do you know that you can't get out of Shanxi?! Besides, even if you really get out of Shanxi and go to the capital, you will still die! I advise you to see your identity clearly..."
He was really not afraid. The governor of Shanxi would soon receive news of what happened here. When the governor of Shanxi brought his men over, those people would find a suitable reason and excuse to take Wei An away and never let her show up again.
In the final analysis, this was an absolute crushing of strength. Wei An was still too naive, thinking that he could counter the moves and influence something by taking advantage of the anger of these officials. Xu Anying was a cabinet minister, and there were countless people who depended on him for survival. His influence among the civil servants was unquestionable. When Wei An really died, this matter would be suppressed silently.
Everything in the capital will calm down, and Chu Jingan will ascend the throne. At that time, these officials will know better what to say and what not to say.
Uncle Xu raised the corner of his mouth and spat at Wei An without hesitation: "You vicious woman, you will die in my hands sooner or later!"
Everyone looked at each other, frightened and scared by the face revealed by Uncle Xu. They didn't expect that the real villain was hiding behind them, and relying on their anger, he wanted to use their lives to harm the princess. They were scholars, and what they despised the most was such villains.
But this is the son of Lord Xu after all. As everyone knows, Lord Xu has lost two sons, leaving only this eldest son. If this son died under their indifference...
Although Emperor Qingyuan has passed away, they still have to continue to serve as officials. Will they offend Mr. Xu? Everyone couldn't make up their minds for a while.
Fortunately, Wei An obviously had no intention of asking them to help or take any responsibility. In just a moment, a maid beside Wei An suddenly reached down and slapped Uncle Xu several times.
Those blows were so fast and fierce that even those watching felt pain on their faces.
Wei An just stood aside and laughed faintly, as if he had seen a good joke, and asked Uncle Xu: "Are you awake? Do you understand the current situation? I don't know what will happen in the future. I only know that at this moment, you are my prisoner. I can do whatever I want to you, even if your father wants to settle accounts with me later, but that is a matter for the future."
Uncle Xu was beaten so hard that he was disoriented. He looked up and glared at Wei An, still stubborn and stubborn: "What's the point of saying these useless things?! If you dare to touch a hair on my head, do you believe me..."
"I don't believe in anything." Wei An stared at him coldly, then smiled: "I only believe that God has eyes, that there are gods above my head, and that... justice is clear..." As soon as she finished speaking, she ordered Han Bo: "Mr. Xu is so stubborn, no one knows if he has more vicious plans. For the safety of all the adults and this princess, this princess orders him to be killed. If there is any responsibility afterwards, this princess will bear it alone!"
She said that she was responsible for it alone and did not involve anyone else. Even those who wanted to plead for Mr. Xu or curry favor with Lord Xu did not dare to speak out at this time.
Uncle Xu raised his head proudly: "You dare!"
Qing Feng had already raised the sword in his hand and thrust it into Uncle Xu's chest, quickly and without delay.
Blood was all over the floor, and Uncle Xu opened his mouth wide in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he would actually die like that, and he couldn't believe that Wei An actually dared to do that to him.
Wei An no longer looked at him. He turned his head and looked at the officials and smiled: "You should be tired now, but I don't know what the fire has done. I'm afraid you should feel wronged. I will have someone go and see which parts of the posthouse are intact so that you can rest. Also, please bear witness to what happened today. When someone asks about it, you can tell me what you saw."
Everyone was stunned, but when they saw Wei An looking at them with a smile, they were startled and quickly agreed.
Wei An then found the family of the lady who had died as a result of the disaster and asked Han Bo to give them a large sum of silver.
The man was also an official and had been refusing to accept the money. Wei An sighed and said, "I know you are afraid of gossip, but the lady suffered this unexpected misfortune because of me. This little bit of money doesn't mean anything, and it may not mean anything to you, but it is still a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
The sixth-rank official was speechless. What is nothing? Wei An gave a full five thousand taels of silver!
Five thousand taels! He might not have so much money in his life. It was obvious that Wei An knew that his wife still had two young children and knew that their family was poor, so he was considerate.
He was speechless. After a long while, he pursed his lips to thank Wei An, then went out and hugged his child and cried loudly.
After a tiring night, Wei An really couldn't hold on any longer. When everything was settled and Wen Xiu came in, she found that he had fallen asleep on the bed.
Wenxiu didn't have the heart to wake her up, so she pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it. Then she turned off the light and left quietly. She sighed at Qingfeng who was coming up, "The princess is really exhausted."
Qing Feng nodded, with some worry in his eyes: "The princess killed Master Xu, and I don't know..."
After all, this is the place of the Governor of Shanxi, and no one knows how the Governor of Shanxi will retaliate against them next.
Wenxiu's eyes turned cold: "These bastards, wait until the prince comes back, and see if they dare to be so arrogant!" (To be continued)
