Don't worry, I have food, money and space.

Chapter 205: Deeply in Love

The secret guard's movements were smooth and skillful, as if he did this kind of thing often. Just when everyone thought that Lord Zheng would die or something else strange would happen after taking the medicine, his jaw was put back in place.

Cheng Zimo waited for a while before he asked, "Zheng Ren, tell me everything you did during your reign. If you dare to lie, I will kill you on the spot."

Zheng Ren trembled all over. He wanted to pick out some minor crimes to talk about, but he really didn't expect that he would tell everything in his mouth without missing a single thing.

Half an hour had passed before I finished listening to Zheng Ren's description. The things Zheng Ren did while serving as prefect can be summed up in a few words: murder and arson, all kinds of evil, appearing to be honest and upright, but actually dark and selfish.

After Zheng Ren finished speaking, he was about to talk about other things when Cheng Zimo interrupted him: "Come here, take him away and keep him under strict supervision. No one is allowed to visit him."

Zheng Ren was dragged away by these secret guards, and then the people were outraged. They clamored to kill Lord Zheng, as killing him would not be enough to appease the public anger.

It was the old lady who had just started to report the case. She knelt on the ground and said in pain: "Your Majesty, please allow us to dig up the trees here. We want to find our relatives!"

Cheng Zimo saw the old man kneel down again, and hurried forward to support him: "Old man, it is because we did not notice this man's wolfish ambition earlier that your granddaughter died tragically."

Seeing that Cheng Zimo, a prince, actually came down to apologize to him in person, the old man couldn't blame him for a moment. If he didn't blame him, how could he swallow the anger in his heart: "Prince, I... my poor, darling granddaughter!"

As the old man started crying, other family members who had lost their family members began to wipe their tears, and for a while, the cries could be heard one after another.

Cheng Zimo couldn't bear to watch, so he called his men and asked them to quickly squeeze out the place that Lord Zheng had ordered and start digging.

It is said that the dead are the most important. Cheng Zimo asked people to buy a clean white cloth to cover the corpse, and then asked people to invite as many coroners as possible, in order to ensure that no bones were left behind.

Furthermore, because Xia Yanxin did not have time to clean up the warehouse this time, Cheng Zimo ordered people to take out a portion of the silver in the warehouse as compensation to the victims' families.

In addition, he should set aside some money to buy a coffin. After all, from a selfish point of view, it was the court's incompetence in selecting people that led to these tragedies. Since Zheng Ren was rich, it was only right for him to pay for it.

Cheng Zimo's actions were unanimously praised by the people of Nanli Prefecture, and they all felt that it was very appropriate.

When Xia Yanxin woke up, it was almost noon. When she found herself lying on the bed, she guessed that it might be Cheng Zimo who came in and carried her up.

Xia Yanxin turned around and found that Xia Yanxin was no longer around. She quickly got up, washed up quickly, and went straight to the yard.

"Sister, are you awake?" Xia Cheng'an was practicing boxing in the yard. When he saw Xia Yanxin, he immediately stopped and looked at Xia Yanxin with a smile.

"When did you get up? How come I didn't know anything about it?" Xia Yanxin asked.

"I saw that you were too tired, so I didn't wake you up. Sister, eat something quickly, and then we'll go to the government office."

Xia Yanxin came to the dining table and ate while listening to Xia Chengan: "Sister, today Brother Cheng went to publicly interrogate that Zheng Ren Zheng. This Zheng is really full of evil. I heard that it has caused public outrage, and the people collectively demanded that he be killed."

After Xia Yanxin finished eating quickly, he said calmly, "The crimes committed by that Lord Zheng are too numerous to list. The death penalty is to be expected."

"But what about the family members? Was there a verdict in court?" Xia Yanxin wanted to know more about how the women in the backyard were dealt with.

Xia Chengan shook his head: "The prince didn't say that, he just said that he would investigate first, and if he was innocent, he would be released, but if he was guilty, he would be severely punished."

As expected but also unexpected, Cheng Zimo did not make it a collective crime: "I guess the women in his backyard are not any better. It is impossible for them to not know what Lord Zheng did."

After Xia Yanxin quickly finished her breakfast, she wanted to go check on Chang Ping and the other two first, but Xia Chengan said, "Don't worry, sister. Sister Nan Ning has already gone to check."

Hearing this, he felt relieved: "What about your sister Nan Ning? Where is she now?"

Xia Chengan pointed to the Imperial Master's room and said, "The Imperial Master hasn't woken up yet. She has been watching him in his room."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yanxin hurried to the Imperial Master's room. When she pushed open the door, she saw that the Imperial Master had woken up, holding Nan Ning, who had transformed into a cat, in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Imperial Master, I didn't know you were awake, so I came in without your permission." Xia Yanxin felt a little apologetic as he looked at the Imperial Master sitting on the bed.

"It doesn't matter. I just woke up not long ago. Is this cat the Nan Ning that you asked me to raise for you?"

Although the national teacher was asking, his tone was affirmative. He was very sure that this cat was the cat that had secretly run away before.

Xia Yanxin glanced at her senior sister and said with a smile, "Master Imperial Master, this is indeed the cat I asked you to raise for me before. Can you give it back to me now?"

The Imperial Master held the cat in his arms, reluctant to let it go: "Miss Xia, can you please give up this cat? I like it very much."

Now it was Xia Yanxin's turn to be in a dilemma, but she still thought about it and said, "Master Imperial Master, I am not stingy and don't want to give the cat to you. It's really because this cat is so special. She is like a family member to me now. Our whole family can't live without her."

The Imperial Master looked up in surprise, but he also knew that a gentleman should not take away someone's favorites, so he could only settle for the next best thing: "If that's the case, then I won't force you, but can you let me keep it for the time being?"

"It's like this. Why don't you wait until Nan Ning wakes up and ask her yourself? My cat doesn't need my consent as her owner. She just needs her own consent."

"In that case, thank you very much. I will ask it myself after it wakes up." The national teacher glanced at the cat sleeping peacefully in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Since you've woken up, how about I check you out to see how you're recovering?"

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, the National Master stretched out his hand and motioned Xia Yanxin to come over to take his pulse.

666 saw this scene in the space and laughed so hard that the hairpin on her head almost fell off: "Hahaha, it seems that this so-called national teacher has a deep affection for your senior sister."

Xia Yan was shocked in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face.
