Chapter 1231 Delivering oneself to one's doorstep only to be beaten by a dog
Zhang Duan flipped through the pages of evidence against himself, a sinister smile never fading from his lips.
The Provincial Surveillance Commissioner wasn't much better off. Zhang Duan was skilled in both literature and martial arts, if Fei He remembered correctly.
Zhang Duan was the top scholar in his year's imperial examination. He was not only good at writing policy essays, but also a master of the six arts.
He once wielded a blunt knife before His Majesty, displaying such power and skill with an unsharpened blade that his opponents dared not challenge him.
During the time Fei He went down to see His Majesty off, the Inspector did not appear to have any wounds on his exposed skin.
But just by looking at his walking posture, Fei He noticed something was wrong.
Judging from the fact that Zhang Duan had hit hard, the fact that the Provincial Inspector was still limping despite his best efforts to restrain himself didn't seem like he was faking it.
The provincial inspector knelt back in his original spot.
Fei He didn't finish reading those ledgers until dawn.
Several of the bodyguards they were used to were brought in, but none of them finished reading through the ledgers.
During this period, the provincial inspector tried to recommend himself several times, but was only met with Fei He's cold gaze.
We've worked together for many years, and all the benefits have been divided up, leaving no one with a single bite to eat.
The person who exposes their superior in everything to protect themselves as soon as something goes wrong.
Just looking at the three-inch-thick stack of incriminating evidence, it was clear that this was not the work of a single day, and Fei He really dared not use it.
If he were to subtly offend the Xie family even slightly, all his efforts for the night would be for nothing.
Seeing that the Provincial Inspector had been rejected by Lord Fei, Zhang Duan's fatigue from writing his own charges all night had dissipated considerably.
The provincial inspector slightly raised his eyelids and met Zhang Duan's still-smirking smile.
The provincial inspector, seeing the evidence of Zhang Duan's crimes written all night, felt guilty and knelt down obediently.
After returning home last night, Liang Chongyue went to sleep after reviewing the information gathered by the system.
After getting up early, I thought the first person I would see would be Fei He, but I didn't expect it to be Princess Qi Yang.
Princess Qiyang and her husband knelt in the courtyard, only to be awakened by her mother's persuasive voice.
Before Liang Chongyue could ask anything, the system, which had also been woken up, had its fur all scrunched up on its head and face. With a pained expression, it opened the panel and started checking the surveillance footage.
Princess Qiyang timed it perfectly, arriving at the courtyard just before Liang Chongyue was about to get up.
Before he could even exchange a few words with his mother, he knelt down with his son-in-law.
It was as if she was afraid that if she didn't kneel down soon, Liang Chongyue would not have time to see her in such a miserable state as soon as he got up.
The system was furious.
I went to bed late last night, and I was still sleepy this morning when I was disturbed. Anyone would be annoyed, let alone the system, which has been pampered by Liang Chongyue all these years.
The system angrily turned and went downstairs.
If Liang Chongyue saw it but did not stop it, it proves that Liang Chongyue tacitly approved it.
Watching the system go downstairs, Liang Chongyue leaned against the window, waiting to see what would happen. At that moment, Yun Ling's voice came softly from the doorway.
Yunling: "Miss, the hot water is ready. Shall we wash up now?"
Liang Chongyue raised her hand and gave Yun Ling a thumbs-up, then continued to lean against the window watching the system run downstairs and kick Princess Qiyang's crying husband twice.
Only after kicking the prince consort to the ground did he feel a little better.
When the prince consort realized what was happening, he got up from the ground, turned around, and was furious.
The system, not to be outdone, barked wildly at Princess Qiyang's husband.
The dog barked loudly, speaking in a language only Liang Chongyue could understand.
System: "Crying, crying, crying! You've cried away all the good fortune of this little courtyard. Disturbing people's sleep so early in the morning, don't you have any manners?"
The system completely dispelled Liang Chongyue's initial annoyance at being woken up in the morning.
Yunling brought up the warm water, and Liang Chongyue stopped worrying about what was happening below and turned to start washing up.
When Liang Chongyue finished washing up and went downstairs, she saw the prince consort being brutally beaten to the ground by the system from afar.
On the other hand, the disdain in Princess Qiyang's eyes was not fake.
Today's events seem to be much more interesting than she initially expected.
After Liang Chongyue went downstairs, he did not show up immediately, but waited until the system had calmed down.
Liang Chongyue coughed lightly and walked out under everyone's gaze.
After Liang Chongyue paid her respects to the Empress Dowager, her expression turned cold the moment she turned around.
"I wonder what brings you here so early in the morning, Aunt?"
The system withdrew its force and slowly returned to its host's side.
It leisurely licked its paws, which had just gotten dirty.
Princess Qiyang's husband, clutching his back which had been injured by the system, struggled to his feet.
He wanted to say something more, but found that no one was looking at him.
After hesitating for a while, he was called back by a look from Princess Qiyang.
Huddled behind Princess Qiyang, he didn't even need to look down to see the lowly dog standing behind His Majesty, baring its teeth at him.
The prince consort's back was still throbbing with pain, and he glared back at the system, feeling resentful.
No movement or whisper in the courtyard escaped Liang Chongyue's eyes.
The system was standing right behind Liang Chongyue, and the fierce look on Princess Qiyang's husband's face naturally caught Liang Chongyue's eye.
Liang Chongyue: "If you don't want those eyes anymore, I can have someone gouge them out for you."
The prince consort was so frightened that he huddled behind Princess Qiyang, trembling and not daring to lift his head even slightly.
Qi Yang couldn't see what her foolish husband had done behind her back to anger His Majesty so much.
I could only force a smile and change the subject: "Qiyang has a local specialty snack that tastes best when eaten with porridge in the morning. I was just thinking that Yue'er and my sister-in-law had only just arrived and probably hadn't tried it yet, so I went to buy some early."
As she spoke, the maidservant beside Princess Qiyang stepped forward and presented the pastries in her hands to Liang Chongyue.
Liang Chongyue glanced at it and saw that there were indeed many different designs: "Auntie is very thoughtful."
Without Liang Chongyue even needing to signal her, Yunling came forward and took the pastries from the maid's hands as soon as she finished speaking, and took them to the kitchen.
Liang Chongyue didn't want to keep the person, but seeing Princess Qiyang's hesitant expression, and recalling the disgusted look in her eyes when the consort was being beaten to the ground by the system, she hesitated.
Liang Chongyue changed his mind.
"Auntie probably hasn't eaten yet, let's leave some food for her to eat."
Princess Qiyang had been waiting for Liang Chongyue to say those words. She had already planned on her way here what excuse she would use to stay if His Majesty refused.
As Liang Chongyue turned to go into the house, she glanced at Princess Qiyang's husband out of the corner of her eye, causing Princess Qiyang to pause in her steps as she was about to follow.
She turned to her husband and said, "Your clothes are dirty, so you should go back first."
The prince consort arrived this morning fuming. Last night, his family suffered a sudden misfortune, and now he had finally managed to get through to Qiyang and meet His Majesty.
He didn't even get to say a word to His Majesty, he was beaten up by a dog after offering himself up, and now his lower back feels like it's about to break. Are you telling him to leave now?
