Chapter 1883 Death of Amir's Brother
Wan Shufang rushed forward and snatched the dagger from Amir's hand, her eyes sharp: "Amir, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kill her!" Amir was furious and reached out to grab the dagger from Wan Shufang.
"Amir, calm down. She owes you something. Dayong will definitely give you an explanation. She has many lives to repay. I must take her back."
Wan Shufang's words finally made Amir regain some sanity. Thinking of those people who died in vain because of the former queen, she put her hand down, but still couldn't calm down.
She glared at Wan Shufang: "What about my brother's death? She lied to me and this matter has not been resolved yet!"
"What does your brother's death have to do with me? I just want a young and beautiful woman to be sacrificed." The late queen suddenly interrupted, confusing both Wan Shufang and Amir.
The two turned their heads to look at her. Amir frowned and said, "Didn't you do anything about Xingyun Town?"
The late queen shook her head.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Don't put any accusations on me." She was calm, as if she really knew nothing about what happened in Xingyun Town.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang frowned tightly. If this was the case, they would not have found the person who was causing trouble in Xingyun Town. Seeing Wan Shufang's expression, Amir could more or less guess what she was thinking.
She snorted coldly: "Wan Shufang, don't be fooled by her. This woman is a liar. You know she is definitely lying. My brother's death is closely related to her."
Amir was still emotional. Outside the prison, Chen Changli and King Xirong suddenly walked in. He looked at the late queen and said calmly, "Amir, the late queen would not do that."
"She doesn't have much time left, so there's no need to lie to us anymore. The events in Xingyun Town may really have nothing to do with her. When we take her back to Dayong and deal with everything, we will help you find out the truth about your brother's murder." Chen Changli made the promise, just to be able to take the late queen away from Amir in peace.
Along the way, Amir had witnessed the abilities of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. She looked at the late queen again, and seeing that she did not seem to be lying, she began to hesitate.
After thinking for a long time, Amir finally nodded under everyone's gaze and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in Xirong."
For Amir, finding out the cause of her brother's death is the most important thing for her at the moment.
"it is good."
Chen Changli agreed and finally convinced Amir. They were all very happy, and they left the prison. Looking at their backs as they walked away, the former queen was lying on the hay, her face ashen and calm.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang wrote a letter to Chen Ping and the other two, telling them about the situation in the Western Rong Kingdom. Then they packed their luggage and set off back to Yongzhou City with the late queen.
After three days of travel, the group finally returned to Yongzhou City. As soon as Chen Changli and Wan Shufang arrived, they brought the late queen to the palace to meet the emperor.
Seeing the former queen's messy hair, strange appearance, and somewhat crazy look, the emperor's eyes showed surprise: "What...what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, the late queen had evil intentions. She secretly used forbidden magic and sacrificed the lives of many people in an attempt to regain her youth. Unexpectedly, the forbidden magic failed and she suffered a backlash." Chen Changli reported, which also included his search and arrest of the late queen.
When the emperor learned that the late queen had exploited the people, cruelly harmed innocent people and had no humanity, he became furious and slammed the table so hard that the shelf on the table began to shake.
"Vicious woman!"
"You have harmed so many innocent people. Do you know your crime?" The emperor looked at the late queen with a dignified look. The late queen was forced to kneel on the ground by the guards.
She raised her head, her nonchalant look hurting people's eyes.
"I am right, Emperor. I just like to see you, the self-proclaimed good people, unable to save the weak and helpless and furious."
"Hahaha!" The late queen knew that she couldn't escape, so she simply provoked a few people before she died. Sure enough, after hearing her words, the emperor was very angry.
Gasping for breath, he pointed at the late queen with a trembling finger and said, "Poisonous woman, you poisonous woman, the crime you committed deserves the punishment of being torn into pieces by five horses."
"Come here, put this vicious woman in jail, make her crimes known to the world, and execute her by slow slicing three days later. The people of the whole city can watch!"
Hearing this, the late queen trembled and finally felt afraid, but things were already done and she was powerless to change it. She could only let herself be dragged away by the guards.
The imperial study became quiet again. The emperor looked at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, sighed and said, "You two have worked hard this time. Go back and rest first. You have made great contributions, and I will reward you handsomely."
"But it's been a long journey, so you should go back and rest first. We can discuss the reward after she is executed."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Changli and Wan Shufang bowed respectfully before leaving the imperial study. They were indeed tired after traveling all the way here.
After coming out of the palace, he went straight to the Duke's Mansion, just wanting to have a good rest.
In less than half a day, the news of the late queen's crimes spread throughout the streets and alleys. In the teahouses, storytellers described the crimes vividly, which made the people so angry that they wished the late queen would be executed immediately.
The crowd was outraged. The execution was scheduled for three days later. However, before three days had passed, the late queen's body functions had reached their limit and she died in prison the next day.
In order to quell public anger, the emperor ordered her body to be pulled out and continued the torture of lingchi.
The issue of the late queen was resolved, but the rewards for Chen Changli and Wan Shufang became a big problem. The two of them lacked nothing now, so he really didn't know what to reward them with.
"Well, why not give me some gold, silver and jewelry..."
As he spoke, the emperor picked up his pen and began to draft an imperial edict. In the end, what was sent to the Duke's Mansion included not only a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry, but also a wordless imperial edict.
The eunuch who announced the decree placed the imperial edict respectfully in Chen Changli's hands, with a smile on his face that made wrinkles appear and squeezed into a ball.
"Old Duke, this is an unprecedented honor."
"Thank you, eunuch." Chen Changli stuffed a bag of money into the eunuch's pocket and watched him leave. He then looked at Wan Shufang and said helplessly, "Your Majesty is really a bitch."
"It's okay. At least this reward is real, and we won't do anything bad with it." Wan Shufang comforted him. She certainly knew what the wordless imperial edict meant in this era.
This means that Chen Changli can make an unconditional request to the royal family.
Chen Changli nodded and held the imperial edict tightly: "It's windy outside, let's go inside first."
He arranged for people to move the gold and silver, and he took Wan Shufang into the house to rest. After the matter of the late queen was settled, Yongzhou City returned to its previous tranquility.
The new policies of Dayong were implemented well in Yongzhou City, so the emperor sent a group of imperial envoys to various places to strictly implement the new policies of Dayong.
