Chapter 165: The Tragic Crown Prince's Concubine Being Treated as a Blood Jar ()
The next morning, the emperor, who was in court, received an urgent report from the officers and soldiers who were escorting relief supplies, and he was furious.
"Come here, search and confiscate the Fang family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion! You are so brave to think of taking the disaster relief grain!" He slammed the memorial on the dragon table and said loudly.
Then, he pointed at Zhenyuan Hou and said, "Capture him! Wait for your punishment!"
Marquis Zhenyuan collapsed to the ground in fear.
Soon, the Imperial Guards seized letters written by Fang Shijie and Su Li pretending to be Xie Linan in Fang's house, and found half of the relief grain and supplies that Fang Shijie had hidden outside the capital according to the address on the letter.
The reason why Su Li did not take away the supplies was to make the evidence of the crimes of the two families conclusive!
When the Imperial Guards entered Xiyu Pavilion, Su Li, who was hiding nearby, had already opened the barrier, allowing them to find Xie Linan, who was guarding Li Xue's body in a daze.
"Xie Shizi, did you kill your consort Fang Yanran?"
The Royal Guards had never seen the original appearance of Li Xue, so they thought that the dead Li Xue on the ground was Fang Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Fang family.
"Get out!" Xie Linan, who was still immersed in the grief of Li Xue's death, did not notice who the person was and shouted without even raising his eyelids.
In the front yard, the Marquis’ wife, who had learned the news, appeared from the backyard. She was furious and said, “How dare you! Who told you to search our Zhenyuan Mansion?”
"Madam Hou, we have found evidence that Prince Xie and his Taishan conspired to embezzle the relief grain!" The leader of the Imperial Guards raised the letter in his hand, "and we have found half of the relief grain at the place mentioned in the letter!"
"Impossible! I don't believe it! Impossible!" The Marquis's wife looked incredulous.
And the same thing was happening in Fang Mansion!
In the Fang family's study, they found letters between Fang Shijie and Xie Lin'an, as well as evidence that the two had conspired to intercept half of the remaining relief grain at Yixiantian in an attempt to make the bandits take the blame.
Soon, people from the Fang family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion were thrown into the Ministry of Justice prison!
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Su Li transformed himself into a jailer and was ordered to torture Xie Linan.
Xie Linan was hung on the rings in the torture room, and he refused to admit that he had done it. "I didn't, I didn't collude with Fang Shijie to get the disaster relief grain!"
During those days, he was being tortured by Li Xue and the old hag in her yard. How could he have the opportunity to conspire with Fang Shijie about disaster relief grain?
Su Li came forward holding the red-hot iron with a weird smile on his face, "Really?"
Then, the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat and Xie Linan's shrill screams.
Fang Shijie over there couldn't stand a few whippings and directly admitted it, saying that it was his good son-in-law who bewitched him.
Therefore, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice ordered that Xie Linan must sign and seal the document no matter what.
Su Li took advantage of the situation and used all ten tortures in the torture room on Xie Linan one by one!
He was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death!
"Just kill me!" Xie Lin'an's martial arts had been crippled, so he couldn't stand this kind of torture. When he was tortured to the extreme, he just wanted to die quickly.
"Xie Linan, how does it feel to live a life worse than death?" Su Li whispered in his ear.
"Fang Yanran, is it you?" Xie Linan's eyes widened, looking at her desperately, "Why? Why do you do this to me?"
"Because you deserve to die!" Su Li curled his lips and lightly tapped his fingers. The memory of his original body being killed by him and thrown into a dry well came into Xie Linan's mind.
Xie Linan was stunned and tears flowed from his eyes. "I was wrong. I was wrong from the beginning! I failed her! She was so gentle and considerate. I failed her!"
"Bah! Your belated affection is cheaper than grass! Now you know why you deserve to die!" Su Li snorted coldly and continued with his actions.
There was determination in Xie Linan's desperate eyes. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and bit his tongue hard.
Then, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he fell silent.
Seeing Xie Linan biting his tongue to commit suicide, Su Li stopped and imitated Xie Linan's handwriting to sign the confession.
After receiving the confession and evidence, the emperor immediately ordered that Xie Lin'an's body be sent to a mass grave to be fed to wild dogs.
Fang Shijie was beaten with a stick thirty times, and all the people from the Xie and Fang families were exiled to a bitter and cold place as slaves, never to be allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives!
On the day the imperial edict was announced, the imperial envoys heading to Nanzhou County also arrived in the capital and told the current emperor about the situation in Nanzhou County.
Afterwards, the emperor was furious and the world shook!
He directly sent 50,000 troops to Nanzhou County to capture the Nanzhou governor and his officials!
Because of this incident, the Xie and Fang families' original plan to leave for the bitter cold land was delayed.
Su Li took the opportunity to go to Zixing Pavilion and prepare hundreds of tables of delicious food, packed them up and put them into his own companion space.
Afterwards, Su Li took out the land deeds and house deeds of the Xie Fang family's shops, houses and fertile fields and went to the pawnshop, exchanging all these useless real estate for gold and silver.
Things like gold and silver are useful no matter which world they go to, but these house deeds and land deeds are just pieces of waste paper once they leave this world!
Moreover, she required that it must be in cash; she would not accept banknotes.
After all, those banknotes are useless outside this world!
After receiving the cash, Su Li found a rooftop, ate the capital's delicacies every day, and waited for the Xie Fang and his two families to be exiled from the city.
The delicacies in this world were quite to her liking. She couldn't help but linger in those food shops every day, packing a lot of delicacies and putting them into the space.
In this way, she spent more than ten days in the capital before she received the news that the Xie and Fang families had set off.
Afterwards, she followed the exile team in stealth, watching them suffer from hunger and cold along the way.
After arriving in the bitter and cold land, the Xie and Fang families lived a life with little food and clothing. They had to do countless tasks and could only rest for an hour every day.
Within half a year, the master and mistress of the Xie and Fang families all died in that bitter and cold place.
During this period, Su Li continued to practice until there was no one left in the Xie Fang family, and then she left that world.
After returning to the original system space, Su Li looked at Fang Yanran, who was in tears, and asked, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
"Well, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to see the end of those two bitches!" Fang Yanran burst into tears.
"Well, since your wish has been fulfilled, you can go and reincarnate." Su Li nodded slightly.
"Girl, can I hug you?" Fang Yanran whispered, "I can't express my gratitude in words. You made me understand why Li Xue wanted me to become her blood jar, and it helped me solve the problem."
"Okay!" Su Li nodded generously and let her hug her.
"Thank you. I'm going to reincarnate!" Fang Yanran hugged her with a gentle and graceful smile on her face. Then she waved at her and disappeared on the spot.
