Chapter 44 (2/2)

of Wu shi+’s weeping halted

“He stopped

breathing so quickly? I only chopped off his ars, and not chop off

his head, he died too quickly”

The old

housekeeper said: “Indeed His crimes actually didn’t deserve death, he only

stole things fro debts, all in all around

several hundred silvers However, his worse mistake was to lie to the master

If that person lies once it will becoes

by ht to die Cutting off his

four liht to have

been dragged out into the streets and hacked to pieces”

Wu shi+’s

howling beca out

Xia Ling

Mei nodded her head, as if a single human life in the eyes of such an

influential fa She turned her head to ask Wu shi+:

“What year did your family’s master meet you?”

Wu shi+

foolishly replied: “Sixteenth year of Tian

An”

The old

housekeeper ih the pile of books moved

here to find the voluers he flipped through the book saying:

“The year the old master turned fifteen he took part in the final exams at

Bailu acade seventh place The first six months of that year he

was at the residence studying, he went out three ti

City On the seventh month he was betrothed to the old mistress, three months

later he was occupied withover the official residence, he

sio far away On the ninth month the old master paid respect to

the crown prince’s greatest tutor at that ti

the teacher together to aal code=””>, continuously until the

eighteenth year of Tian An he took

the adovernment as an official Before and

after these four years, the oldCity”

Xia Ling

Mei brushed away the o far away at least

once, then thisYun from another part of the country is not

grandpa’s son?”

The corner

of the old housekeeper’s mouth twitched: “No The books document every minute

detail of the oldevery

words and actions, even if he ate ee

on a day it’s recorded, it can’t be wrong”

Xia Ling

Mei again asked: “Then thisYun has slandered a

government official of the previous dynasty, if it’s taken to the authorities…”

“In the

legal code of the Dayan, an ordinary person guilty of slandering an official of

the government is punishable by death More serious circumstances, exterminate

three generations, public beheading at the south gate”

Xia Ling

Mei asked Wu shi+: “May I venture to ask this madam, do you have any other

relatives? Three generations at least also includes your parents and children, are

you prepared for the whole fa without an intact

body?”

Wu shi+’s

co Mei: “You, you…you’re speaking nonsense

My fahter-in-law did you find, she wants to

kill your woman and son, she’s…”

Xia Ling

Mei coldly said: “It looks as if thisfamily Someone come, request an officer here, take these two people to the

jails Old housekeeper, please go and organise things, we must make sure the

officers treat this incomparably honourable old madam properly, also…”

“Ma, Madam…may,Yun who hadn’t opened his mouth at all

treot up

“Oh----“

“Yes, yes

My , but may not definitely be, be this family…”

Xia Ling

Mei laughed happily looking at hi: “Really

wang fae and influential faht

not be a hundred but at least seventy, eighty ,

there are at least thirty of those who are passed forty years old Those are

not from our main branch, maybe the second branch, yes or no?”

“Yes,” wang

Yun Feng shuddered, kneeling down, “Maybe it’s the second branch I cannot say

for sure”

Xia Ling

Mei gazed at wang Yun rather deep in thought: “That person in the second branch

back then was quite a romantic, besides the wives and concubines within the

residence, there’s also two otheralcohol

and appreciating flowers outside, he couldn’t avoid being presented one or two

beauties as a gift froolden house to keep his mistress Oh,

that’s right, when he was young, that oldto quite a few places”

wang Yun

covered in cold sweat, watching Xia Ling Mei alht

TheYun Feng, at

first they didn’t plan on getting the greatest fa

these great fa to use money to

cover a scandal It encouraged the mother and son to at least demand more than

ten thousand silvers, and including the reward from the person behind the

scene, allowing the mother and son to live comfortably without distress At

that tie house with that money, marry a delicately

pretty young lady, and pay to be a petty official to be a free and unfettered

official

He didn’t

expect to be sex-crazed, his mother Wu shi+ saw the better aspects of society,

her appetite had increased, set on the wang fa

Yun eet talked by Xia Ling Mei into deterring, he couldn’t even distinguish

between east, west, south and north, only thinking this beauty’s voice was

pleasant to hear, whatever she wanted hio and do

it, his head only kne to nod

Until

someone took them to another small courtyard outside, that hen he finally

returned to his senses Why didn’t he begged the beauty to remain by her side

just now, even if it’s to serve her for a lifetime was also fine That waist,

that face, and the tone she spoke made his bones weak

Xia Ling

Mei scared those two people, in a moment she sent people to monitor them, use

an opponent’s own methods to obtain retribution, let the second branch of the

fa harassed that even cocks and dogs are not at

peace These past days, she again went through the residence once, those who

ought to be beaten were beaten, those ought to be rewarded were rewarded, those

ought to be sold were sold, the old housekeeper genuinely and honestly handed

over the housekeeping duties into her hands This was long ago ordered by wang

Yun Feng, and was one of theMei here

See, if

you’re not at the residence, someone could just come up as they pleased to

cause trouble, the people inside are also in a hideous mess without anyone

controlling them, on your return, you corrected the household

Again a few

days passed, the weather gradually beca

also returned home
