“This is a ginseng fruit, a spirit fruit, bestowed by the Empress.”
He wiped the other ginseng fruit on his official robe and took a bite. It was fat and juicy, and there was water everywhere. It was also very sweet, and the spiritual qi contained in it was not bad. It was quite delicious. “Thank you for your reward, sir!” Lu Junxiu thanked him excitedly.
She carefully put it into her arms.
“This is?”
Lu Junxiu scratched his head in embarrassment.””Wifey has suffered a lot with me these years. Thanks to Daren’s appreciation, we have been able to live a good life. Previously, we were short of money and rarely ate fruits, let alone spiritual fruits.”
Zhang Ronghua stopped. People who valued relationships were respected.
His right hand slapped the Five Dragon Spirit Belt, took out a bunch of black grapes, and handed it over.
“This is a spiritual item. Take it back to nourish your body.”
The spiritual energy contained in the black grapes was also not weak. For ordinary people, it was very suitable for nourishing the body.
Lu Junxiu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. He took the black grapes and left. He then closed the door of the palace. His heart was heavy. This was not just a favor of knowing him. His Excellency treated him too well. He silently remembered all of this in his heart.
It reached the lower value.
Ding Yi had not returned yet. He did not wait any longer. He changed out of his official robe and wore a black brocade robe. He held the Hundred Birds Tribute Phoenix Fan in his hand and walked out.
The passersby hurriedly greeted him when they saw him.
When they arrived at the Vermillion Bird Gate, a carriage came from outside and stopped at the gate. Ding Yi lifted the curtain and shouted,””Brother, get in the car!”
Zhang Ronghua got into the carriage and sat on the soft couch.
Uncle Ding drove the carriage towards the Vermilion Bird Avenue.
Ding Yiya pointed at the carriage. Zhang Ronghua understood and waved his right hand. A stream of Black Yellow True Essence shot down and set up a barrier. This way, they didn’t have to worry about their conversation being heard by outsiders. “Guess what?”
Bang!
Zhang Ronghua knocked a chestnut on his head and glared at hmm• .””Don’t dawdle”‘
Ding Yi shrunk his head and recounted the entire incident in detail from beginning to end.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice’s prison, he was indeed stopped by someone as Zhang Ronghua had said. He was only able to enter after taking out the True Dragon Token. When he saw Shen Ming, he was already beaten half to death.
The jailer wanted to stay behind to keep an eye on him but was sent away by him. After introducing himself, he saw that he was here to help him. Shen Ming did not believe him and Ding Yi spent a lot of effort to convince him.
After gaining his trust, she told him everything in detail.
It wasn’t like how the censor of the Evergreen Academy attacked He Wenxuan, but it was more or less the same. They were just exaggerating and magnifying the problem infinitely to achieve their own goals.
From Shen Ming’s story, he knew that he and Yin Shanshan were deeply in love with each other. Their families were well-matched. The elders of both parties were very satisfied with this marriage. The wedding date had been set and they would be married in half a month.
However, one night, the butler of He Wenxuan’s residence rushed in with his men and used his power to force Yin Shanshan’s parents to submit. He wanted her to enter the He residence as a concubine. If she did not agree, she would be charged with a crime and sent to the border. She had no choice but to agree!
The next day, he sent someone to the Shen family to inform Shen Ming. He disregarded his reputation and called off the engagement. He would compensate them for their losses. Shen Ming would not agree to it in the future. Although he and Yin Shanshan were not childhood sweethearts, they had a deep relationship. They had known each other for a long time and knew each other very well. She would never do this for no reason.
She went to the Yin residence to find her. Yin Shanshan did not dare to tell him the truth. She was afraid that he would be impulsive and run to the He residence to cause trouble. If he really did that, it would be no different from courting death. However, under his repeated coercion, Father Yin could not bear it and told him what had happened.
When he found out the truth, Shen Ming did something crazy in a fit of anger. He went to the He residence without caring about anything else. Just as he told the story, he was arrested by the guards at the door. Later, the butler of the He residence came out and had one of his legs broken. He was locked up in the Ministry of Justice prison. When Yin Shanshan found out, she pleaded for mercy. She paid the price of entering the He residence that night in exchange for his life.
After he finished speaking, Ding Yi cursed fiercely,””He Wenxuan is not human! For his own selfish reasons, he forcefully separated a pair of people who loved each other.”
Zhang Ronghua frowned and asked,”How did he know about her?’”‘
“This matter is handled by the butler of his residence. Every once in a while, he will look for a suitable girl. If he has his eyes on her, the portrait will be drawn and handed over to He Wenxuan. If he agrees, the butler will settle the matter and send the girl over.”
“So he has many concubines in his residence?”
“Sixteen!”
Zhang Ronghua wondered if he had heard wrongly. Sixteen? How could He Wenxuan, that old fellow, take it?
On second thought, he understood. The Head of the Palace was a Rank Two high official and a popular candidate to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He held great power and did not have many concubines.
“What about the other concubines?”
“I’ve asked someone to inquire about it. The matter was handled very well and there was no evidence left! Their matter had just happened not long ago. Moreover, they had met Shen Ming, who was not afraid of death, so they had not suppressed it yet. After being messed up by Changqing Academy, it was impossible to deal with it quietly like before.”
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
“This was written by Shen Ming.’”‘
Zhang Ronghua took it and glanced at it. It recorded the ins and outs of the entire matter in great detail, as well as Shen Ming’s blood mark..
