”No matter how evil my heart is, it's useless.”

Xu Hongwu interrupted her, ”That brat doesn't seem to be someone who will be at a disadvantage. Now that he's in the Supreme Court, I wonder who will be the unluckiest one.”

Wen Jiu paused slightly. ”I'm worried that he won't get used to being in the justice courts, so if he's impatient, I'll cut down the justice courts' official …”

Xu Hongwu, ”...”

The two of them were speechless as they recalled the youth's actions.

Xie Heng didn't hold back when he killed the Duke of Great Jin and Chang Ning too much. Dai Ming was just a mere justice judge, and his temper was just as irritating as ever.

Xu Hongwu thought about it again and again, then said: ”Then, I still have to get him out as soon as possible.”

Wen Jiu nodded.

Just a green jade ring could cause Duke Yong Xing, who was present in the imperial court, to treat her like this. It seemed like Xie Heng had more secrets than she did.

The old debt that the young man owed at the Dijing, who exactly was he asking from?

Eternal Xing County, Duke Mansion.

Old Prefecture Duke was close to seventy years old, originally he had a daughter who had died many years ago, but now there were less than twenty attendant servants in the mansion.

The county governor's residence was close to the Pear Garden. Every day, he would listen to plays and drink tea.

Wen Jiu stayed in the guest room. Just as she finished dinner, she changed into male clothing and left through the side door of the Duke's Estate.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt someone following him. When he turned around to look, there was nothing there.

Wen Jiu did not turn his head to look and instead walked straight to the entrance of Pear Garden, entering the crowd of people who wanted to watch the show.

”I even said why can't I see you in the blink of an eye.”

Xu Hongwu was very happy when he saw her, ”Let's go in and listen.”

It had been snowing all day, and the snow was already very thick. Ordinary people wouldn't go out much, but the front of the Pear Garden was packed with people. The teahouses and restaurants across the street were also filled.

This seemed a little unusual.

Without waiting for Wen Jiu to figure out anything, Xu Hongwu had already walked forward, ”Let's go, this《 Han-Li Ji》 will be a feast for the eyes.”

Wen Jiu followed them into the private room and sat down. The entire theater was filled with spectators, not only were there not a single empty seat, there were practically no seats.

The scene had already begun, and he was singing, ”Even if you don't see the beacons, you'll be stained with blood. Iron and horses will ride on the mountains and rivers …”

This was a new show, about young generals protecting their families and protecting their countries while being killed by treacherous officials. In the end, the enemy armies overturned the entire imperial court, killing every man they saw, robbing every girl they saw.

The performers on stage were singing sorrowfully, while the spectators below wiped their eyes. It was probably because they felt the same way. After the curtain call ended, not many people in the audience had yet to get up to leave.

It was unknown who scolded, ”If you kill the people who can protect the family and protect the country, who will defend the country and the country for you?” ”Stupid to the extreme!”

The voices of the crowd drifted out, ”If we don't kill that young general, how will we end up with our country and families destroyed!”

”It's said that the youth currently being held in the Supreme Court is only eighteen years old! What were those noble princes doing when they were eighteen? All day long, we know that we are being squeezed out of the common people. If this goes on, our Great Yan will have to work with the people in this show … ”

Wen Jiu listened to the people below and lightly tapped the table, ”Lord Duke, when did this new movie come out?”

It just so happened that Xu Hongwu was secretly raising his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes. Hearing Wen Jiu suddenly talking to him, his movements slightly stiffened, yet his expression did not seem to have happened at all.

Ten days ago!

Very good.

She said that Xie Heng was not the type of person to sit still and wait for death.
