Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension
Chapter 20: The Cannon Fodder Orphan Who Was Offline at the Beginning
*
The next day, Princess Wen Yi's body was found at the pass of Yucheng Mountain in her fiefdom. A group of mountain bandits who occupied the mountain as kings were captured, and they confessed to killing the princess.
When attending court, the prince produced evidence of his private transaction with Gu Huanzhi.
Wen Yi embezzled several years' tax revenue from his fiefdom Yucheng, accepted bribes of gold and silver from officials in the fiefdom, and allowed them to arbitrarily raise land taxes.
He condoned the tyranny of officials in the fiefdom and tacitly allowed the fiefdom's money shop to mint coins for circulation in the fiefdom, which forced the people to occupy the mountains and become bandits. He killed her when she was traveling to uphold justice.
When this evidence came out, everyone in the court was shocked, even the emperor was furious.
Just embezzling tribute taxes is a capital crime, not to mention that Wen Yi also accepted bribes, condoned officials' evil deeds, and minted counterfeit coins for circulation, all of which are capital crimes.
There were people from the Second Prince's faction in the court who were trying to confuse the public.
The prince said bluntly: The emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Wen Yi condoned the officials of his fiefdom and others, who harmed the people and caused great suffering. His death does not deserve pity.
The emperor was furious about Wen Yi's previous actions, and rebuked those officials who refuted him. He ordered the appointment of the prince as inspector general to go to Yucheng to appease the people and restore people's livelihood.
The prince's move was very popular among the people.
The original intention of Gu Huanzhi and the Crown Prince's plan was to trace the whole matter back to the Second Prince and bring him down as well.
But the second prince was very alert. After Wen Yi's affair became public, he claimed to be sick and stayed indoors. He secretly disposed of some things, so the fire did not burn him.
However, because of Wen Yi's incident, the emperor has become much colder towards the second prince in recent days, so he did not escape unscathed.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the general's wedding.
Gu Huanzhi not only had to do it quickly but also on a grand scale, which kept all his subordinates busy. Only then did they manage to prepare the wedding ceremony in a short period of time.
When Yun Wu put on the extremely luxurious wedding dress prepared by Gu Huanzhi, she was still dazed.
It seemed like she had just arrived in this world yesterday, but today she was going to marry the male protagonist with a baby in her belly.
Fantasy, too fantasy...
Fuling carefully placed the phoenix crown on Yun Wu's head, and the wedding attire was completed.
Fuling praised with astonishment in her eyes: "Madam is really beautiful today. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you."
The woman in front of me was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red wedding dress. Her skin looked even whiter and brighter in the bright red dress.
Because she was pregnant, she only put on light makeup, her face was rosy with almond-shaped cheeks, her pink lips were small and delicate, and her facial features were incredibly delicate.
Yun Wu smiled embarrassedly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. At this moment, a sudden burst of electricity flashed through her mind.
She suddenly frowned.
Fuling immediately became nervous upon seeing this, and stepped forward to hold Yun Wu's hand and let her sit on the couch.
"Ma'am, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell in your stomach?"
"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."
Yun Wu said softly, while dealing with Fuling, she focused her attention in her mind, and sure enough, System Xiaobai was back.
[Host, host, it’s me! Xiaobai! ]
"You're finally back, Xiaobai."
Yun Wu was having a conversation with Xiao Bai in her mind, "During the time you were away, the plot has collapsed. I don't know what to do."
Listening to the accusation of the soft and beautiful host, Xiaobai laughed dryly with a guilty conscience, and then continued:
[Host, don't be afraid. The established plot of this plane cannot be changed. Let's just follow it and we will naturally pass through this plane.]
"But I am a cannon fodder in this plane. Now that I have not followed the original cannon fodder plot, will the mission fail and I be punished by the heavens?"
Yun Wu said this worriedly. System Xiaobai knew best that this was no longer a cannon fodder mission world, but it could not tell the host yet.
[No, no, host, just take it one step at a time, don't worry about whether the mission will fail or not.]
"it is good……"
Yun Wu felt a little relieved, but she was still worried. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.
Before Yun Wu could think carefully about the meaning, she was urged by the matchmaker to cover herself with the red veil.
Yun Wu was not very tired after the process that followed. She was pregnant, her pulse was unstable and her health was not good. Gu Huanzhi didn't want her to be tired.
After the wedding ceremony, she let Fuling help her back to the bedroom. Even the guests in the room only saw her briefly because her face was covered with a red veil.
The second prince also came to today's wedding banquet.
Gu Huan knew that all his relatives had passed away, and the guests at his wedding banquet were only officials in the court and the aristocratic families in the capital.
Everyone present knew what kind of person Gu Huanzhi was, so no one wanted to make things awkward by dragging Gu Huanzhi to get drunk.
Just say a few words of congratulations to each of them. Gu Huan knew that he was in a good mood today, so he responded to everyone who came to toast him.
"Congratulations to General Gu on his happy marriage."
The second prince came to see Gu Huanzhi when most of the guests had left.
Gu Huanzhi's expression did not change. He raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Second Prince."
The second prince has been much more low-key these days. Perhaps he was implicated in the Wen Yi incident. His face looks a little haggard.
His eyes fell on Gu Huanzhi's wedding dress, which was blindingly red.
The second prince couldn't help but think of the scene of watching Gu Huanzhi and Yun Wu getting married outside the palace just now. Even he couldn't explain it clearly, but he could never forget it after just one glance with Yun Wu.
He was a little jealous. He was jealous that the prince had Gu Huanzhi's help to deal with him, jealous that Gu Huanzhi could marry Yun Wu, and jealous that his life was so comfortable.
The second prince suppressed the sourness in his heart. He thought of his great cause and then smiled the same smile as usual.
"My mother has chosen a wife for me, and we will be getting married soon. I hope the general and his wife will be there."
"That's natural."
Gu Huanzhi said this calmly, and then bowed politely to the Second Prince.
"Today is my wedding night, so I will take my leave now."
After bowing and saying goodbye, Gu Huanzhi strode up the corridor and headed towards the backyard.
The second prince stood at the back, the smile on his face gradually cooled in the thick night, and his hands clenched into fists.
Let him enjoy his success for a while. Who knows who will be the master of the world in the future?
