After the old man passed away, Little Tong cried helplessly in the house. She hugged the old man's corpse and didn't know what to do.
Swish — —
Tong Tong's figure flashed and left Ye Qinghan's side and appeared beside Little Tong.
Little Tong looked up at Tong Tong. She had big round eyes and a white face. She was very cute. She was also very confused, but she quickly lowered her head and ignored Tong Tong.
"I'll buy you. You will follow me in the future." Tong Tong said firmly.
"Grandpa … is already gone! Waa … "Little Tong cried bitterly.
"But you still have to bury grandpa and live, right?" Tong Tong looked down at Little Tong who was kneeling on the ground and said seriously.
Ye Qinghan walked over slowly from afar and stood outside the short mud wall. He looked at the two little ones and sighed softly.
"How many spiritual god stones are you offering?" Little Tong wiped her tears and asked seriously.
"En … One hundred pieces of Earth Rank Spirit Spirit Stones." Tong Tong replied seriously.
Little Tong pouted. Maybe she thought it was too little. 100 earth rank spiritual god stones were not enough to buy a tomb, not to mention a coffin and a life in the future.
"100 heaven rank spiritual god stones. I can be your child bride." Little Tong said again with a serious expression.
This time, Tong Tong did not bargain. She touched her clothes and found that she did not have a single stone. She could not help but look at Ye Qinghan outside the wall.
Ye Qinghan thought that Little Tong might be able to accompany Tong Tong to prevent him from thinking too much. He nodded and agreed.
Swish!
Ye Qinghan took the old man's corpse and said calmly, "Come with me. I will bury grandpa for you. You can accompany Tong Tong in the future."
Little Tong ran into the house and took something. She hid it in her clothes and then followed Tong Tong out of the slums.
The three of them arrived at the Left Marshal's Residence. Ye Qinghan handed the corpse to the guards and asked them to bury the old man in a place with good feng shui. The position was slightly better so that Little Tong could pay her respects.
The funeral was not grand and even a little cold. Only Ye Qinghan, Tong Tong, and Little Tong were there. There were also a few guards at the side.
Little Tong knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times before Tong Tong dragged her out of the graveyard.
The stroll in the middle of the night allowed Tong Tong to relax. She no longer felt conflicted when she saw people, and she accepted Sis Yao's service.
Ye Qinghan heaved a sigh of relief and cultivated in peace until dawn.
The next day, the two children woke up even earlier than Ye Qinghan. Tong Tong actually began to teach Little Tong how to cultivate, which surprised Ye Qinghan. Tong Tong did not cultivate, but taught others.
"Sister Yao, provide them with resources. Keep an eye on them. I'm going to the Snow Palace." Ye Qinghan called Sister Yao over and gave some instructions to Tong Tong. He didn't bring Tong Tong along with him. Today's interrogation must be very harsh, and he didn't want to add more darkness to Tong Tong's heart.
"Yes!" Sis Yao bowed.
…
The Snow Palace was the harshest yamen in the Holy City. It was said that there was no case that couldn't be solved. The Snow Palace's Palace Master, Lin Shan, was extremely intelligent and impartial. He was only loyal to the Emperor and wouldn't give anyone face. At this moment, he was sitting in the main hall, looking at the people of the Zhen family. Marshal Yun, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince were all sitting in the main hall. The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince were also in the main hall.
Ye Qinghan arrived late. The case was already halfway through. Zhen Zilong's flesh was lacerated, and he was being tortured.
"The assassin has already confessed and left a blood mark. It's useless even if you don't admit it. A few days ago, the Zhen family suddenly sent out a batch of resources. What was it for? Zhen Zilong, you appeared in the Xuantian Prefecture a few days ago. What were you doing there? If you deny it now, aren't you looking down on the Snow Palace too much? Do you think the Snow Palace is too incompetent to investigate? "
Lin Shan was a middle-aged man. He was very dignified, and his face was filled with righteousness. He questioned coldly.
Zhen Zilong was beaten up, and the clues were thrown out one by one. He had no choice but to admit it now.
Zhen Yuan was in despair at this moment. He knew that Zhen Zilong couldn't escape. He wanted to sacrifice himself to protect the Zhen family. He immediately roared, "I want to see His Majesty. This matter has nothing to do with the Zhen family. It was this little bastard's decision. The two princes massacred my family. I want to see His Majesty. I want to see Imperial Concubine Xue! My Zhen family is innocent! "
Zhen Yuan roared fiercely. He hoped that the name of Imperial Concubine Xue and His Majesty would be able to intimidate Lin Shan.
"The evidence is irrefutable. Zhen Yuan, you still dare to quibble? Zhen Zilong couldn't have used 30% of the Zhen family's wealth to hire an assassin to kill Marshal Zuo! You are the Zhen family's Palace Master. Now you tell me that you don't know? Do you think everyone is a fool? "Lin Shan angrily shouted.
"This old man doesn't know!" Zhen Yuan roared angrily.
"The Zhen family's law, Article 12. If you want to use 10% of the family's wealth, you must have a meeting with all the Clan Elders. More than 60% of the Clan Elders must agree. Only then can the Patriarch personally make the transfer. Otherwise, no one can use the family's wealth. This time, your Zhen family used 30% of the family's wealth. The Clan Elders don't know where the family's wealth went. If you don't personally make the transfer, can Zhen Zilong do it? At this time, you want to give up your son to protect the Zhen family? What a joke! "Lin Shan threw out the Zhen family's law and coldly asked.
"This is the Snow Palace. Zhen Yuan, if you tell the truth, this old man can still protect the Zhen family. If you insist to the end, even if His Majesty comes out of seclusion, it will be useless." Marshal Zuo reminded him.
Zhen Yuan despaired. At this time, there was no way to refute.
Ye Qinghan slowly walked into the main hall and calmly reminded, "Zhen Yuan, that day, I was not the only one who was attacked. In the Fragrance Pavilion, His Highness the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Ninth Prince were also attacked. The two princes can testify. In the Holy City, sending assassins to kill the princes, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, and the Assistant Minister is a rebellion and should be punished. If you admit to this and explain clearly, this marshal will not pursue the matter in the Fragrance Pavilion. Moreover, the Ninth Prince is your nephew, so I will not pursue the matter."
"Yes! We were indeed attacked in the Fragrance Pavilion. If it wasn't for Mister, we would have died! " The Seventh Prince hurriedly came out to testify in order to clear his name. They were also attacked, so it was obvious that they were not the masterminds!
The Ninth Prince was hinted by the Seventh Prince and quickly nodded. "Uncle, grandfather, you should confess …"
Zhen Yuan and Zhen Zilong were flustered and exasperated. The masterminds of this matter were these two princes. Now, not only did they not protect the Zhen family, they even wanted them to confess. How could they not be angry?
"The two of you are so vicious! If it wasn't for the two of you promising to make my Zhen family a Prince when one of you ascends the throne, would I have hired assassins to assassinate Marshal Zuo? Now, you are abandoning us. You are worse than beasts! "Zhen Zilong was as timid as a mouse and was afraid of death. At this moment, he directly roared.
"Bullshit! When did this prince make such a promise? You are slandering me! This prince was indeed attacked in the Fragrance Pavilion. The bodies of those assassins are still sealed in ice! The Palace Lord can personally investigate. Zhen Zilong, seeing that you are a distant relative of the imperial family, this prince is still polite to you. However, in order to survive, you actually want to frame the princes. This is simply unreasonable! "The Seventh Prince angrily rebuked.
"That's what you promised! You even said that you would compensate the Zhen family after ascending the throne … "Zhen Zilong angrily roared.
Zhen Zilong, Zhen Yuan, the two of you are willing to do anything to survive. Since you have admitted that you sent assassins to kill me, it is equivalent to admitting to your crimes. Palace Lord Lin, there is no harm in pronouncing the verdict. This prince can testify that this matter has nothing to do with the two princes. This case will end here. "Ye Qinghan indifferently said.
The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince's expressions slightly changed. They did not expect Ye Qinghan to speak up for them. They could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Xue Fei, who was hiding in the shadows, also let out a sigh of relief. She knew that the Ninth Prince had escaped this calamity. Not only did she not resent Ye Qinghan, but she was also very grateful.
