Chapter 466 It's too early
Li Jinxian's wife-to-be was summoned to the Supervisory Office. To prevent too many people from scaring her, only Bai Ze and Jiang Xun questioned her.
In the room used for receiving guests, the bride sat stiffly on a stool, looking very uneasy.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun personally poured her a cup of tea and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We are just asking a few simple questions."
The bride nodded nervously, picked up the warm tea with both hands and took a sip.
Jiang Xun stood not far in front of her and said slowly, "Now, we have basically confirmed that Cao Wenhao is the murderer of Li Jinxian..."
With a bang, the teacup in the bride's hand fell to the ground.
The tea soaked the ground and some spilled onto the bride's white dress.
Jiang Xun bent down slowly, picked up the teacup on the ground and placed it on the table, then continued what he had just unfinished.
"According to our investigation, the young lady has been in and out of the Cao family before." Jiang Xun watched the bride's reaction closely. "I called the young lady here today because I wanted to ask if she knew anything."
When Jiang Xun went to pick up Cao Wenhao's manuscript, he also visited the people living in that area.
One of his classmates told him that one time when he came home late, he seemed to see Li Jinxian's bride entering the Cao family.
But he didn't see it clearly at the time, and if Jiang Xun hadn't asked him, he would never have told anyone.
After all, if something goes wrong it will ruin the girl's reputation.
The bride clutched her dress nervously and fearfully, saying incoherently, "I...I haven't been to...Cao's house. No...not I...I...I don't know anything."
Jiang Xun was not surprised by the bride's answer and continued step by step, "Miss, Li Jinxian is only 21 years old this year and has an elderly grandmother at home.
He worked hard to live his life and behaved as a decent person, but he was inexplicably murdered, just when he was about to marry the girl he loved..."
"Stop talking." The bride interrupted Jiang Xun, tears welling up in her eyes.
It was impossible not to say it, so Jiang Xun continued, "Miss, did you know that Li Jinxian was wearing a wedding dress when he died?
Did you know that your marriage certificate was on his desk? Do you know how many times he wrote your name? Do you know that a murderer would..."
"I'm telling you everything, please stop talking." The bride burst into tears, her voice filled with grief and guilt.
Jiang Xun raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and Bai Ze nodded to him in appreciation.
Finally, the bride confessed everything about her interactions with Cao Wenhao, told him everything she saw that night, and identified Cao Wenhao as the murderer of Li Jinxian.
With both witnesses and evidence present, Jiang Yueyang immediately opened the court and pronounced the verdict. Cao Wenhao was sentenced to death for murder and was to be beheaded at the market entrance three days later.
It was already dusk when the verdict was announced.
Jiang Yueyang was returning home from the Supervisory Office. When she passed by the "Huaxia Grocery Store", she went in and sat for a while.
Ye Wuhen gave his own answer. He chose to stay in Daxia and not go back.
Jiang Yueyang respected his choice, patted him on the shoulder and left without saying anything.
But Ye Wuhen knew that she was telling him that there was nothing in this world that could not be overcome, and everything would be fine!
half a month later.
The Supervisory Department has repeatedly solved strange cases and has officially gotten back on track. Branch offices in various places have also started their work.
At the same time, the Cangwu Army brought good news: the Eastern Turks surrendered completely, and Daxia won!
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, people were excited and full of joy!
Emperor Yuan was very pleased and excitedly talked with the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites about rewarding the three armies.
Jiang Yueyang was also very happy in her heart. Her A Yue...her young general was finally coming back.
The system sensed her inner joy and asked curiously: [Host, if Lu Yunting came back and proposed marriage to you, would you agree?]
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise in the hall instantly became lower, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
Jiang Yueyang thought about it and replied shyly: [I...I should...I will agree.]
"But didn't you say you had to be at least eighteen to get married? You're only sixteen this year."
[It's a different time now!] Jiang Yueyang's eyebrows curved, and the scene of her and Lu Yunting's wedding emerged in her mind.
System: [Well...it's better if you get married sooner. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll end up dead.]
[Ayue hasn't come back yet, so don't be such a pessimist.] Jiang Yueyang's voice contained a hint of warning.
The system shrugged it off, saying, "Don't worry, Lu Yunting is fine. In four or five days, they'll be back in the capital."
[So fast?] Jiang Yueyang was very surprised.
The system said as a matter of course: [A few days after the victory report was sent out, Lu Yunting and his men returned to the capital with their army. Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon.]
After hearing what the system said, Jiang Yueyang couldn't wait to meet Lu Yunting.
She was wondering, after not seeing each other for more than three months, whether they would become strangers, and what they should talk about when they met?
As she thought about it, she became lost in thought.
After a while, her eyelids began to feel heavy, her head nods slowly, and before she knows it, she falls asleep.
Emperor Yuan witnessed the whole process of her falling asleep. Looking at her sleeping, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
The child is grown up, it's time for him to get married.
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
Jiang Yueyang was sound asleep when she was suddenly awakened by the voices of the civil and military officials. She opened her eyes abruptly, her heart pounding.
When she came to her senses from the shock, she found herself lying on the low table, and the civil and military officials seemed to be objecting to something.
"Xiaogua, what happened?" she asked blankly.
[The Queen Mother wants to bring Prince Rong back.]
Jiang Yueyang frowned, [What's going on?]
Isn't the Empress Dowager's birthday coming up soon? The civil and military officials disagreed with a grand celebration, but yesterday the Empress Dowager relented. She said the birthday banquet didn't need to be grand, but she wanted a family feast.
A family banquet is a feast where the whole family gathers together to eat. Therefore, the Queen Mother took the opportunity to propose to bring Prince Rong back and send him back after the birthday banquet.
But all the civil and military officials knew that it was easier to bring him back than to send him back. Therefore, they all disagreed with bringing him back.
Jiang Yueyang looked at the Yuan Emperor, who was speechless after being confronted by the civil and military officials, with sympathy. "Your Majesty, this is really difficult! But then again, weren't you just discussing rewarding the troops? How did you end up talking about the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?"
[Just now? You all slept for half an hour! The reward for the troops happened half an hour ago.]
[Did I sleep for half an hour?] Jiang Yueyang was surprised and stole a glance at Emperor Yuan, [Your Majesty, didn’t you notice that I was sleeping?]
【Found it.】
Jiang Yueyang: […Why didn’t he wake me up? ]
Bai Ze said, "You've been busy with cases every day for the past two weeks and are very tired. You're still young and in the process of growing up. I hope the emperor will be understanding."
[So, Your Majesty didn't wake me up?] Jiang Yueyang was very surprised, but couldn't help but feel happy. [Your Majesty is actually quite considerate of his subjects.]
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials secretly disagreed, saying, "Your Majesty is just sympathizing with you!"
The system couldn't help but laugh, "Host, although the emperor didn't wake you up, he fined you three months' salary."
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
It’s too late to talk.
The civil and military officials then remembered that Jiang Yueyang had been fined for sleeping during court, and argued with His Majesty so much that they had forgotten about the matter.
Jiang Yueyang's favorability towards Emperor Yuan dropped back to its original level, but she did not feel unhappy.
Five taels of salary a month, oh no, she got promoted and now her salary is ten taels of salary a month. If it’s gone, it’s gone. She doesn’t care.
Just when she was about to take another nap so as not to lose her salary, she suddenly thought of something.
[No!] Jiang Yueyang suddenly said.
The system is confused, [What's wrong? ]
You just said, "You all slept for half an hour." Who else besides me would be so bold as to sleep here?
