After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

"died?"

Feng Qiwu was wearing a red dress and holding a red oil-paper umbrella as he stood in the rain. After hearing this, his eyes were filled with interest. He asked casually, "How did he die?"

A little beast like Jiang Yuliu who did all kinds of evil was indeed lucky to have a tough life. He had lived well for many years doing harm, but now he suddenly died. Could it be that an evil ghost came to claim his life?

Qi Jiuzhu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say... Jiang Yuliu died suddenly while being arrested by the Dali Temple. His death was extremely painful and horrible. Perhaps he suddenly contracted a serious illness."

Feng Qiwu was quite interested: "Where is the body?"

Qi Jiuzhu said: "The body is still in the Dali Temple."

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu's interest quickly faded, but a strange color that was difficult to capture flashed across his dark eyes: "Then go to the Dali Temple later and find out the cause of Jiang Yuliu's death for me. People won't die in vain..."

Qi Jiuzhu accepted the order: "Yes."

Feng Qiwu was walking in the rain holding an umbrella. Behind him, there was a long line of soldiers holding spears and wearing armor.

Wen Ranyan had just returned from shopping when she heard about Feng Qiwu's heroic act of confiscating their property and wiping out their entire family.

She was calm, as if she had known it already.

Si Jin was still very excited, as if she had gotten revenge, and was very pleased: "Madam, our master is really powerful. When we went to the street to buy things, he raided five houses, including the residence of Minister Jiang."

Wen Ranyan sat in the courtyard and asked knowingly, "Why did you single out the Jiang family? Is it related to us?"

The rain was falling heavily, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand outside the corridor and catch a few drops of rain in her hand.

"Of course there is a connection." Si Jin couldn't stop showing her satisfaction. She said, "Today, Jiang Yuliu, who was rude and filthy to Madam in the restaurant, is the legitimate son of Minister Jiang. He usually does whatever he wants because he has a father who is a minister. Now, the entire Jiang family has been executed. Jiang Yuliu has lost his backer and should pay the price for his past actions."

The raindrops fell into his palm, which was full of coolness. Wen Ranyan slowly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "That's great. Do you know why they were confiscated and exterminated?"

Sijin said: "He embezzled a lot of stolen silver and also took away the grain and grass sent to the border town."

Did they move the food supplies?

Wen Ranyan was sitting, looking at her with sharp eyes: "Can you elaborate on it?"

Sijin thought for a moment, then started from the beginning: "Madam, do you remember the battle between Beilang and Xiyu in the desert a few months ago?"

Wen Ranyan nodded.

Of course she knew it, but the novel only mentioned it briefly and did not explain it in detail.

She only knew that Feng Qiwu used his military skills like a god and was brave and fierce in that battle. He defeated the soldiers from the Western Regions step by step, and they retreated to the royal court to ask for peace in the blink of an eye. She didn't know the rest.

Si Jin slowly spoke: "In that battle, because the food and grass were not delivered in time, millions of our Beilang soldiers were trapped in the desert and almost couldn't return. Now, the master finally found out that it was Jiang Beiwang and his followers who withheld and sold the food and grass, which caused our Beilang soldiers to starve in the desert and suffered many casualties."

"Such treacherous people should be tortured to death. The master killed them with a single blow, which was really easy for them."

In the end, Si Jin was filled with anger and had no place to vent it. She endured it again and again until her eyes turned red.

"This land of Beilang was conquered by our master and his soldiers. They actually want to make sure they die without a burial place. Do they still have any conscience?"

Sijin was so angry that her whole body was shaking. All her hoarse murmurs were about her indignation for the dead soldiers and blaming the world for the injustice to Feng Qiwu.

Wen Ranyan took her hand and comforted her softly, "Fortunately, there is reincarnation in heaven, and those extremely evil people finally paid the price for what they did."

Hearing this, Sijin felt much better.

Wen Ranyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he lowered his brows thoughtfully.

When she heard Jiang Yuliu calling out her name in the restaurant, she knew that the Jiang family would be wiped out in a moment, and the ruthless person was Feng Qiwu.

But the book only briefly mentions it, without explaining the reason, as if Feng Qiwu was born a bloodthirsty person, killing indiscriminately without reason or purpose, and thus established his reputation as bloodthirsty and brutal.

As for people like Minister Jiang, they were originally Feng Zhuyue's subordinates. Feng Qiwu's move gave them a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation, which made them look extremely foolish and unwise.

But now it seems that he was not just brave but reckless, it is clear that he had calculated every step carefully.

Not only did it cut off Feng Zhuyue's right-hand men, but it also cleared out corrupt officials for the court and the people. The confiscated gold was filled into the national treasury, and the taxes that had been increasing over the years could be reduced.

By then, the country will be flourishing and the people will be happy, and he will be a great contributor.

Wen Ranyan looked at the falling rain, a smile spreading in her almond-shaped eyes, but soon fell into a deep and dark light.

However, didn’t the current emperor notice or condone such a major matter as interfering with food and fodder?

I guess he gritted his teeth while praising Feng Qiwu.

After sorting out his thoughts, Wen Ranyan felt that this place was becoming more and more interesting.

The sewer rats are eyeing the bloodthirsty wolf with eager eyes, and they will do whatever it takes to devour it completely and replace it.

Wen Ranyan quickly gathered her thoughts, and asked with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes: "Sijin, is my husband back?"

Si Jin shook her head and said, "Not yet. I heard they are trying to capture Jiang Yuliu. It's really a bargain for him to let that beast live for a few more hours."

Wen Ranyan sat on the corridor in the rain, the splashing rain soaked her long sleeves. The wind was a little strong, ruffling her long hair and blinding her eyes.

But the strange and bizarre look in her eyes became even clearer and more obvious in the rain.

"Maybe, it's really very cheap..." She murmured softly, and Sijin couldn't hear what she said at all.

After a while, Wen Ranyan reached out to push her hair behind her ears, and then she said in a delicate and gentle voice, "Sijin, go to the kitchen and prepare some ginger soup. Let your husband drink it when he comes back. The spring rain is cool, don't catch a cold."

Sijin smiled and bowed, "Yes."

-

The news of Feng Qiwu beheading an imperial official had already spread throughout the palace.

Such a murder case angered the court. All the civil and military officials were worried, fearing that Feng Qiwu, the vicious god, was not satisfied with his killing and would break into their houses and massacre indiscriminately.

They were afraid and impeached, and they only hoped that the one sitting on the throne would issue an imperial decree to take away Feng Qiwu's military power and give him a severe beating.

Otherwise, a mad dog like Feng Qiwu will become more and more unbridled in the future, endangering the imperial power and causing chaos in the country.

Helian Xiao sat at the top, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. His brows and eyes became gloomy because of the words of the officials, just like the dark and cloudy sky outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, please make your decision. Feng Qiwu is really too presumptuous."

"Minister Jiang and several other ministers were so innocent, yet they were killed by him."

"Your Majesty, if you don't punish him severely today, Feng Qiwu, that villain, might force you to abdicate in the future. He is bloodthirsty and ambitious, and he is capable of anything."

When he heard the word "forcing the emperor to abdicate", Helian Xiao's eyes suddenly showed fear, as if a storm was about to come.
