A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1159 - 929 The Truth 8 (Monthly Ticket Bonus Update)_2

"In the end, the third sister-in-law wouldn’t allow it. She told me that Xiaosuisui already avenged herself!""She avenged herself?"

"That’s right, at that time, Xiaosuisui couldn’t control her ability yet. So when she heard the third sister-in-law and mother saying that her third uncle was going to slaughter pigs to support the pork shop, she thought it was only Li Laosan slaughtering pigs alone. She said something like the third uncle won’t be able to slaughter the pigs, and guess what happened?"

Ji Youze: "?"

Ji Youzhi was most afraid of his younger brother’s sideways glance and quickly said, "The result was that the next day, when Li Laosan was slaughtering a pig, the pig kicked him in the chest, and since then, Li Laosan has been..."

"Ruined?"

Ji Youzhi nodded, "Close enough!"

"And what about Li Laoer?"

"Didn’t you notice Li Laoer’s legs? They were forcibly amputated. It was the work of the National Master!"

"National Master?"

"Don’t misunderstand, the National Master didn’t just arbitrarily amputate Li Laoer’s legs.

It’s still our Suisui’s fault. When she heard that Li Laoer was coming to the Capital City, she thought he was walking to the Capital City, so she casually said something like Second Uncle’s legs would break from walking.

So on the way to the Capital City, we met a group of people with Li Laoer, who was being carried around on a door board in search of treatment.

With no one able to treat him, they encountered my second brother. Upon hearing it was Li Laoer, Suisui’s second uncle, he chased them away. Later, it was Suisui who suggested that the National Master could help. If Li Laoer’s legs were sawed off, his life might be saved!"

"I see!"

Ji Youzhi nodded and said, "And then there’s Li Yanyan’s mother, the woman now lying in that foul-smelling room."

"That woman, she’s the one whose life I want most!"

Ji Youze nodded, picking up his words, "I know, she’s the chief culprit who wanted Suisui buried alive!

It was she who incited the old lady Li. I found this out afterwards, but when the servants reported her condition, I thought we should take them all down at once. I didn’t expect all this to be destined by fate."

Ji Youzhi nodded, then leaned close to Ji Youze’s face and whispered, "Do you think our Suisui’s power...."

"Shh!"

Ji Youze gestured with his hand to signal for silence.

"Oh! Shh! I won’t talk, won’t talk anymore!"

When Li Silang was caught, he was basking in the compliments of his classmates.

Amidst the repeated congratulations, his mind was overwhelmed with nothing but the words "thank you."

Doctor Xu Zheng was smiling contentedly at his apprentice. Although he did not expect his grandson to become the Third Place Scholar, the fact that Li Yu ranked in the top thirty of the officials was beyond his expectations too.

"Doctor Xu, you’ve got a Third Place Scholar and a promising disciple who ranked high in the exam. Don’t you think you owe us a banquet?"

Doctor Xu smiled contentedly, shaking his fan and stroking his beard, "Indeed, indeed, tonight at Yanyue Building, I’ll host. Let’s have a gathering of us scholars and doctors, and in a few days, once His Majesty gives orders and we parade in the streets, I’ll choose a good day to hold a grand banquet at the mansion..."

"Make way! We’re on official duty!"

"Officer, you can’t come in without being announced..."

"We’re here to catch rebels and traitors, don’t block the way or face execution!"

Suddenly, there was a clamor outside.

Everyone immediately stopped their chitchat and shouted outside, "What’s going on?"

Several Inner Guards walked in, loudly demanding, "Who is Li Yu?"

Seeing the Inner Guards, everyone’s heart sank in panic, and they quickly dared not speak.

"Who is Li Yu? Speak!"

The leader demanded loudly when no one responded.

"I... I am!"

"Yes! He... he is!"

Everyone pointed at Li Silang.

"Come with us!"

Several Inner Guards stepped forward and took Li Silang away.

"Hey! Officer, officer, what are you doing?"

"His Majesty has decreed that the Zhongshu Province censors investigate Li Xu’s embezzlement and bribery. All members of the Li Family are to be arrested and strictly interrogated."

After the Inner Guard said this, they took the person away.

For a moment, everyone present looked at each other in disbelief.

"Minister Li embezzling and bribing? Is this true?"

"How could this come up at such a critical time?"

Doctor Xu was a bit flustered. His own pupil had just passed as a scholar, and only 50 were chosen in the palace exam!

If the 50 scholars were properly maneuvered in the future, the prospects were limitless!

"How could Minister Li embezzle and accept bribes? We never heard of such a thing; could there be more to it?"

The people began to whisper.

"Oh no, son, master, elder master, second master..."

A chorus of disorganized voices came rushing in from outside.

Seeing their own servants, everyone’s hearts suddenly filled with unease.

"What happened? Why are you all panicking? Where are your manners?"

Doctor Xu shouted sternly.

One of the servants timidly reported, "Master, something bad’s happened. Your in-law has gotten into trouble."

Xu Zheng frowned at the news, "In-law? Which in-law? What happened?"

Don’t blame Xu Zheng for asking that. The Xu Family was large and prosperous, with sons and daughters everywhere, whether legitimate or born of concubines, countless relatives by marriage.

"What other in-law, it’s Master Lin Maolin’s family!"

Xu Zheng jumped up from his chair.

That was his eldest grandson Xu Ke’s maternal family!

"What happened? Quickly, tell me!"

He pointed at the servant, urging him to explain quickly.

"I don’t know the specifics, sir. This morning the city gates suddenly closed, allowing entry but forbidding exit. The Main Street is full of Inner Guards capturing people. The Li Mansion, the Lin Mansion, the Minister’s Mansion all were surrounded. Early this morning, the Minister’s Mansion was only surrounded without any disturbance.

But just an hour ago, the Minister’s Mansion was searched by Divine Hunter Ji, and big boxes and small boxes were taken away, and many people were arrested, all sent to the Divine Hunter’s Platform!"

"This Ji Youzhi is too tyrannical! Even if he is the head of the Divine Hunter’s Platform, he has no right to treat the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue like this, does he?"
