Shen Jingci sneered, "It's okay to tell you that although your Xie family has big trees and deep roots, you can still catch a lot of these harmful borers. I don't have to do anything, I just need to watch the fire from the other side."
Xie Ruzhuo then remembered that she had overlooked an important thing! The corruption case in the previous life!
However, now that I know it, it’s not too late.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and suddenly asked with a strange expression, "Shen Jingci, do you feel pain in your heart now?"
While she was speaking, Shen Jingci felt a sharp pain in her heart, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
Shen Jingci breathed hard, "Xie Ruzhuo, what did you do to me?"
"I didn't do anything." When Xie Ruzhuo said this, he suddenly swept all the food on the table to the ground, and then smiled, "I poisoned the wine bottle just now, but I was kind and put the antidote in it." It’s just in the dish.”
As she said that, she lowered her head again and said in a vicious voice, "Then the question is, Shen Jingci, noble Miss Shen, you said you would take this antidote, or not?"
The food on the floor was stained with dust and looked particularly unclean. Shen Jingci only felt that her headache was getting worse, which made her lose her mind. She knelt on the ground, grabbed things and moved them towards her mouth.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at this scene with a somewhat distorted expression. But the tears in his eyes were a little more obvious.
In the previous life, Xie Huailin was beaten to death, but Shen Jingci was not willing to give in. She actually asked someone to pour poison into Xie Huailin's mouth, and then pointed to the food thrown on the ground and said, "This is the antidote. If you want to survive, , just eat it!”
It was rotten food and smelled bad.
Of course Xie Huailin didn't eat. The ten-year-old child only took a vicious mouthful of Shen Jingci and said, "Fourth sister, take care of yourself!"
Shen Jingci was so angry that she whipped her head, killing her instantly!
This woman did all kinds of bad things, but she could only scream like a shrew, without the slightest ability to fight back. But now, things have turned around in front of her!
"Shen Jingci, doesn't the food on the ground taste particularly delicious?" Xie Ruzhuo suddenly grabbed her collar and asked ferociously, "How does it feel to be treated like this?!"
Shen Jingci was feeling hazy when someone suddenly grabbed her collar, and she suddenly woke up. But when she met Xie Ruzhuo's eyes that concealed overwhelming hatred, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Shen Jingci, to tell you the truth, I came here just to see you in such a miserable state. There is no antidote in this meal!"
Shen Jingci's pain gradually passed, and she was covered in cold sweat as if she was exhausted. After hearing this, Shen Jingci immediately grabbed Xie Ruzhuo's collar with her backhand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Xie Ruzhuo, where is the antidote? Tell me!"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled coldly and said, "Want an antidote? Just dream!"
"Ah - I'll kill you!" Shen Jingci was so stimulated that she lost her mind. She immediately became jealous and put her hands on Xie Ruzhuo's neck. She was actually plotted against by this woman today, which was a great shame and humiliation!
It's a pity that she is at the end of her strong attack at this moment, and no matter how weak she is, she won't be able to cause harm to Xie Ruzhuo at all.
Xie Ruzhuo raised his foot and kicked her away, and then said condescendingly, "Shen Jingci, don't worry, you won't die. You are very comfortable hiding behind the scenes and making fun of the situation, right? I will leave my words here today. Poison is a declaration of war. In this life, I will fight with you until death. I will let you know that death is a kind of relief!"
After saying this, Xie Ruzhuo just let go of his hand and strode outside.
She came here today, firstly, to see Shen Jingci's next move, and secondly, to poison Shen Jingci.
She did both.
She was sure that Shen Jingci was too arrogant and thought that the world was in her hands, so she would arrogantly reveal her next plan. It is also certain that Shen Jingci will be suspicious of everything including drinks and meals. And when she feels one item is safe, she won't touch the next one!
But Shen Jingci must not have thought that not only tea is poisonous, but also vegetables are poisonous! The tea she drank earlier was poisoned, but she took the antidote in advance, so she was unscathed. But Shen Jingci didn't. No matter what she used today, she would be poisoned!
That kind of poison won't kill people, but it will attack from time to time, like a bone-gnawing pain like being gnawed by thousands of insects or pierced by thousands of arrows.
But after she had calculated everything, she suddenly felt that she had become vicious.
The emotion of wanting to kill everyone quickly was like a nightmare, occupying all her thoughts.
But she had no choice. She only had two months left. When the time came, she would give up her life for Xiao Junxi.
She originally thought that the Xie family was stable enough, and even without her, no one would be able to touch the Xie family. However, what happened to Xie Huailin told her that as long as those evil people did not die, she would not be able to rest at peace even under the Nine Springs!
If that's the case, then she can simply anger the devil, or in the worst case, everyone will die together!
After returning home, Xie Ruzhuo immediately went to Xie Shengli's courtyard.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's serious face, Xie Shengli put down the brush in his hand and asked, "Zhuo'er, what's wrong?"
Xie Ruzhuo thought about it for a while and then asked, "Grandpa, are there any moths in our Xie family?"
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, there was a corruption case that implicated the Xie family. At that time, from the governor of Jiangnan to the prefect of Hangzhou, fifty-six out of ten of them were members of the Xie family. At that time, Emperor Jing was furious and ordered a strict investigation. Suddenly, the Xie family was like a tree falling and hozenes scattered, and officials were afraid to avoid it.
Hearing what she said, Xie Shengli also put away the smile on his face and said slightly solemnly, "Zhuo'er, since ancient times, when the water is clear, there will be no fish."
But this was clearly told to her.
"Does grandpa know who He Wei is?"
Hearing this name, Xie Shengli thought for a while and then said, "You mean, He Wei, the Minister of Punishment? It is said that this man is known as the Iron-faced Judge. He always advocates severe punishments and criminals who fall into his hands are never given light sentences." .What’s wrong, is there something wrong with this person?”
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "It's okay. I just met the Third Prince by chance today. He told me to be careful of this person. He also said that if there are moths, they should be dug out as soon as possible. I don't know if this is a hint. .”
She, a female, should not know about things that have never happened, nor should she have such a keen prophet. So now we can only rely on Xiao Junxi's name. After all, the information obtained by a sick and weak prince is more reliable and more convincing than that of a woman.
Hearing this, Xie Shengli's brows immediately furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
"Zhuo'er, tell grandpa honestly, what else did the third prince say?"
After hearing Xie Shengli's inquiry, Xie Ruzhuo thought for a moment and said, "The third prince also said, 'A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest', asking us to be careful."
Speaking of this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but add, "Grandpa, in fact, we don't need to rush to check ourselves. After all, everyone has his unspeakable mistakes. Sometimes, the opportunity determines everything, what do you think? ?”
Xie Shengli looked at Xie Ruzhuo in surprise. Seeing that her eyes were full of manly machinations, he was a little disbelieving at first, and then looked at Xie Ruzhuo again.
The changes in this granddaughter seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing Xie Shengli nodded and stopped talking, Xie Ruzhuo retreated obediently.
The sunset was slowly setting on the horizon. It was such a beautiful scenery, but she had no intention of watching it.
That He Wei was Xiao Junhan's person, to be precise, he was a disciple of the Shen family, and later he followed Xiao Junhan. The ink corruption case in the previous life was He Wei's masterpiece. Relying on this case, he was promoted all the way, and later he was replaced by the current Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he became the first person in the Ministry of Punishment.
And after that, this person always opposed the Xie family and became a very strong opponent of the Xie family!
Shen Jingci's words today alerted her. If she guessed correctly, then Shen Jingci's next move would be to use this person to deal with the Xie family!
At the end of February, an old couple went to Beijing to complain, and a piece of complaint was delivered to Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
After interrogating Na Jing Zhaoyin, he discovered that this turned out to be an old case. However, although the case is old, the crime is neither big nor small.
However, this Jingzhao Yin Mansion was originally a student of Xie Shengli. He always upheld justice and immediately reported the case to the Holy Emperor.
And a storyteller met the old couple and spread the story throughout the streets, which aroused countless people's anger.
Qianbi was the first to get the news. After hearing it, she told Xie Ruzhuo vividly, "That old couple is an ordinary couple in Gao County. They have a son. The younger one just passed the scholar examination, and the same The young ladies in our family were in love, but who knew that the powerful gentry would not agree with the two of them being together, and even falsely accused the scholar of stealing and took the scholar to the Yamen."
Hong Rui liked hearing this kind of story the most. When she saw Qian Bi going to drink water, she immediately asked, "What happened next?"
Qianbi didn't say anything, she just gave it away and said, "Do you know who He Weiyuan, the Minister of Punishment, is?"
Hongrui shook her head, "I don't know. Oh, what did you think he did? Please tell me what happened next."
"He has to be blamed for this matter. He Wei, the Minister of Punishment, was originally a local official, the magistrate of Gao County! The wealthy gentleman handed him a lot of money and threatened to sentence the scholar to death. As a result, he In order to get promoted and make a fortune, he actually ignored humanity and morality, took money from a wealthy gentleman, then turned around and beat the scholar into submission and sentenced him to death!"
After listening to Qianbi's words, Hongrui immediately said angrily, "This He Wei is simply too much!" After saying that, he sighed, "I really feel sorry for that old couple and that young lady."
Jiang Zhu asked, "Now this matter is said to have reached the Jinluan Palace, and even the Holy Emperor is paying attention. I just don't know how the Emperor will handle this case."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and said, "Then let's just wait for the good news."
She knew that her grandfather would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. The person behind this incident was probably related to the Xie family. But if He Wei hadn't done anything wrong on his own and committed such a nasty thing, how could others have caught him
In the final analysis, it’s just your own fault!
Emperor Jing's decision really lived up to expectations, and He Wei was publicly removed from his crown in the Jinluan Palace, stripped of his official position, and demoted to a commoner.
It is said that on the day when He Wei was imprisoned and paraded through the streets, the people on the street were so angry that they threw vegetables and rotten eggs at him, shouting in anger, "Corrupt officials deserve death!"
