Chapter 316 Mother~Blow up Xiliang and the barbarians!
When Qian Fugui heard these words, his body trembled, his legs softened, and he sat on the ground. He never thought that things would develop to this point...
Liao Shan slammed the gavel again and announced loudly: "The evidence is irrefutable that the Qian family colluded with the barbarians. Their crime is unforgivable. Come, go to the Qian family immediately, arrest all the people in the Qian family, and put them in jail, waiting for the emperor's decision!"
The State of Chu and the barbarians were mortal enemies. The barbarians often harassed the border of Chu. The people living on the border were miserable. There was heavy snow and food was already scarce. Moreover, the barbarians harassed the border from time to time. The people of Chu hated the barbarians. His Qian Mansion actually colluded with the barbarians, so naturally everyone in the Qian Mansion could not escape.
"Sir, please spare my life... This is so unfair..."
"Take it away."
The sky in the capital seemed even gloomier than usual, with dark clouds hanging low and making it hard to breathe.
Chu Zixi stepped out of the heavy threshold of Jingzhao Yamen, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
After Chu Zixi and Jun Bai strolled around the imperial city, they finally walked into a restaurant as night fell.
When they stepped into the restaurant, they were immediately surrounded by a lively atmosphere.
In the restaurant hall, a storyteller was telling the story of the Qian family. His story was vivid and colorful, drawing cheers from the audience.
The guests in the hall also joined the discussion. Their voices were different, but they all revolved around the same topic - the Qian Mansion.
Some people angrily condemned the Qian family's crimes, some watched it happen indifferently, and some could not hide their joy. These voices intertwined, as if telling the tragedy that the Qian family was about to end.
"Have you heard? The Qian family was once so prominent, but now they are facing the punishment of execution of the entire family!" An old man shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with emotion about the impermanence of the world.
Another scholar continued, "I saw an imperial edict posted over there in the vegetable market. It clearly stated the emperor's order that the entire Qian family would be executed, and all their property would be confiscated."
"Hmph, evil will be punished! The Qian family relied on their power to bully the common people and acted tyrannically. The result today is entirely their own fault!" A young man slammed the table in anger, his words revealing his deep hatred for the Qian family.
On the other hand, there were also some people who were gloating over the misfortune of others. They whispered to each other with malicious smiles on their faces: "That's good. The Qian Mansion at the foot of the imperial city has finally become the dust of history."
Chu Zixi and her group walked lightly and went straight to the private room on the second floor. They ordered a table full of sumptuous food and prepared to feast on it.
With the sound of waiters carrying trays, plates of steaming hot dishes with delicious looks, aromas and flavors were served one after another.
The first thing that caught my eye was the crystal clear jade tofu, which exuded a charming luster like a green gem, as if it was carefully carved from jade. Then, a plate of golden and crispy roast duck came into view, with crispy skin, tender and juicy meat, and a mouth-watering aroma. The fragrant steamed sea bass was even more eye-catching, with the fish eyes slightly bulging, as if it still retained its agility when it was alive.
The waiter carefully arranged each dish like a fine work of art, then bowed respectfully and left.
Jun Bai couldn't wait to start tasting these delicacies. He first picked up an attractively colored chicken leg and took a light bite. The meat was juicy and the taste was delicate, which made him nod in satisfaction.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
Suddenly, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the door, breaking the originally harmonious atmosphere in the room. The door was gently pushed open, and Jun Feimo slowly stepped into the room.
Chu Zixi slowly raised her head, her eyes gently and affectionately meeting Jun Feimo's deep and passionate gaze, her eyes flashing with surprise and smile. She whispered, "You're back."
Jun Feimo quickly took a few steps, came to Chu Zixi's side, and sat down beside her naturally and smoothly.
His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of doting that was not easily noticed: "Well, this king missed Xier, so he went into the city early, and the betrothal team will officially enter the city tomorrow."
This sentence was like a spring breeze blowing through Chu Zixi's heart, causing ripples in her heart. She couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile, looking at Jun Feimo with eyes full of happiness.
At this time, Jun Bai also raised his head and called out obediently: "Daddy~"
Jun Feimo smiled and responded: "Good boy!"
Yu Dayuji quietly left the room and stood guard at the door, not wanting to disturb this warm scene.
Jun Feimo's eyes, as deep as the abyss and as cold as frost, were now fixed on Chu Zixi tenderly and intently. He slightly opened his thin lips and called out, "Xier." The voice was low and magnetic, as if it contained endless affection.
Chu Zixi paused slightly with the chopsticks clenched in her hand when she heard that. She slowly raised her head, but her eyes intentionally or unintentionally avoided his eyes that were hot enough to melt ice and snow. Instead, she pretended to be relaxed and picked up a piece of tempting braised pork ribs and gently placed it in his bowl.
"Eat quickly. You look so exhausted. You smell like blood. Didn't you have a bad journey?"
Jun Feimo lowered his head, his eyes fell on the braised spareribs in the bowl, and he chuckled. "Hmm," he replied, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the spareribs and put them into his mouth, chewing them carefully.
Chu Zixi asked: "Who?"
Jun Feimo said in a cold voice: "The people of Xiliang and the barbarians don't want to see the marriage between Dongyang and Chu, so they sabotage along the way and assassinate the Dongyang team that was sending betrothal gifts to each other."
When Jun Bai heard this, he suddenly raised his head, still chewing rice in his mouth, and said incoherently: "Mom, blow up Xiliang and the barbarians!" The little guy waved his little fists with a menacing look.
Chu Zixi said in a sharp voice: "That's a good idea. The barbarians and Xiliang are always provoking wars. Let's go back and blow them up and see if they will behave themselves."
Jun Feimo raised his eyebrows, looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of smiles, and said softly: "Xier is right, but this matter needs to be considered carefully."
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded in agreement.
