Chapter 222 I am a decent person!

"Uncle Song, what will happen to King Yong?"

Li Xu asked in another question.

"Even if you don't die, you will be demoted to a commoner and banned for life. As for Yang Wenrui, you will definitely die. Princess Qinghe and her two children should be brought into the palace to raise them. The other confidants under King Yong can't escape death."

Song Mu obviously entered the palace last night and discussed with the Empress Dowager, and had already made arrangements for the Yongwang Party.

Li Xu was also a little sighed when he heard this.

Isn’t it good to be your wealthy and leisure king?

I have to rebel. Now I will be sentenced to life imprisonment directly. It would be better to die than to die.

When strength is not worthy of ambition, you still have to learn to be content and be happy. Always worry about things you shouldn’t think about, and the backlash will be doubled.

Not only will you suffer, but your family, relatives, friends, and even servants will be in trouble.

King Yong himself may not die, but there are countless people who will die because of him.

"Where are those officials and generals who colluded with King Yong? Will they also be executed?"

"It depends on the severity of the situation. Now the court is in trouble, so it is not advisable to kill too much, otherwise it will cause violent turmoil in the court. His Majesty heard about this incident last night and shouted that all these people would be executed. I advised His Majesty to try to kill only the evildoers, and the rest can be exiled or demoted. However, the families of these criminals must be charged to the Jiaofangsi according to the rules."

Where is Jiaofangsi?

It is an official brothel, and all the women in it are wives and daughters of officials who have committed the crime.

In the past, she was a pampered lady, but once she fell into the Jiaofangsi, she became a poor person who could be ravaged and bullied.

After Song Mu finished speaking, he looked at Li Xu's thoughtful look and asked curiously: "What do you think of the families of these criminals?"

After saying that, Li Xu's old face heated up and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where is Uncle Song thinking about it? I am a decent person."

Decent people?

Song Mu remembered the little maid his wife told him and quietly curled his lips.

Looking at Song Mu's expression of disbelief, Li Xu hurriedly explained: "Uncle Song also knows that although my industries now have shops, they are not enough. Although I have brought a lot of people from Sanshui County, they are all in charge, and there are not enough people who can understand literature and calculate. I am thinking that these criminals and families have basically studied. Instead of letting them be practiced in the Jiaofangsi, it is better to arrange some work for them, which can not only reflect the great grace of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, but also reflect the kindness and tolerance of Uncle Song, and also help the nephew. How can I do it without killing three birds with one stone?"

Song Mu was not a cruel and vicious person himself. After hearing Li Xu's words, he thought about it and nodded, "What you said makes sense. These criminals and families are actually innocent. However, the court has its own laws, so they can only commit crimes together. Since you have this kindness, I think the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty also agree. Go back and say hello to the Ministry of Rites, you can just pick people. Once you rush into the Jiaofangsi, you will be an official slave. At that time, they will give you their body contracts, and you can just take care of them yourself."

Seeing Li Xu agreeing with a smile, Song Mu reminded him again: "Although these people are offending the officials' families, they should also pay attention to their proper attitude and not cause unnecessary storms."

Li Xu heard the meaning of this, because he was afraid that he would do something worse than beasts to these criminals and his family. He felt very wronged. When he was about to complain to himself, he saw Song Mu wave his hand and said, "Okay, I won't keep you anymore. Xiao Yuer hasn't seen you these days. He ran to my mansion when he saw the sky, saying that he was looking at me. In fact, he just asked you in a different way when he would come back, and he also complained that I used you too hard. Go back to your house and accompany Xiao Yuer."

As he said that, he began to wave his hand to drive people away.

Li Xu had nothing to talk to with an old man, so he bowed his hands and left.

Listening to the footsteps that were gone, Song Mu, who had originally looked down at the official document, suddenly raised his head and looked at the direction of Li Xu's departure, murmured: "How many surprises will you bring to me?"

...

Li Xu's new house is also on Zhuque Street, not far from the Song Mansion. It's time to ride a horse and walk slowly for less than a stick of incense.

If you walk, it will probably take more than twenty minutes.

The Song Mansion sent a foreign housekeeper to accompany Li Xu to the new house himself, and explained the origin of the house to Li Xu along the way.

It is said that this house was originally the residence of a founding general of Qin State, and was given a house by the emperor for his merits.

Later, after the general died, his son inherited the family business, but because he was confused about a major case, his house was also confiscated and the house was taken back by the court.

Later, he was given a marquis, but the marquis was chopped off in the rebellion of the prince and the house was taken back by the court.

Then, the house was empty.

However, over the past decade, the court has often sent people to clean and repair it, so it does not seem depressed. Although it is a bit outdated, it is still well maintained overall.

Li Xu felt a little disgusted when he heard this. The owner of this house was either imprisoned or beheaded. This is a haunted house!

The Song Mansion Manager was also a wise man. Seeing Li Xu frowned, he hurriedly explained: "The general is not too concerned. Many of the mansions on Zhuque Street come here like this. Take the Prime Minister's mansion for example. It was a Duke's mansion back then. However, the Duke was involved in the case of the prince's rebellion and was also confiscated and exterminated. The mansion eventually became the Prime Minister's mansion."

"After all, Chang'an City is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties. After so many dynasties, there are basically all places where the house can be built, not to mention the Zhuque Street where the powerful are concentrated. So even if you want to build a new house, there is no place to build it."

After hearing what he said, Li Xu felt much more comfortable.

It’s no big deal if everyone is like this, it’s not a big deal.

Not to mention the same house, many emperors live in the palaces of the previous dynasty, unless they have money, they build a new palace themselves.

While talking and rushing on the road, I soon arrived at the gate of my new house.

Li Xu saw a group of people looking forward to the gate from afar.

As soon as he jumped off the horse, he had not had time to set up his shape and tidy up his expression, and saw a light white figure pounced into his words with a unique fragrance of a girl, hugging himself tightly.

Needless to say, it is naturally Yu Yu who has not seen him for many days.

The servants and maids around them all tacitly treated them as if they hadn't seen them, and turned their faces outside.

Li Qin stood not far away with her hands pressed against her abdomen. Although her face was also excited, she barely maintained her reservedness.

Secretary-General Li Lin hooked Li Qin's left arm, close to her, and winked at Li Xu.

Li Qin was slightly behind Zhang Mingrong. Although her face looked calm, there was indescribable attachment in her eyes when she looked at Li Xu.

Next to her was Xiaotong, who was blocking her mouth and looking slightly resentful. She was holding a brocade squid in her hand and rubbing it. Her two watery almond eyes kept aiming at Li Xu.

Little Quail Shen Yufu stood at the end of the crowd and looked at the scene secretly, her mouth slightly opened, as if she was a little surprised.

Holding the girl in her arms and looking at the group of people in front of her, Li Xu's heart that had become hard these days suddenly became soft.

It's great to go home!
