Tell me the truth, child

After the emperor had read the petition and examined documents for nearly half an hour, His Majesty immediately drafted a royal decree to punish Shuang Wang Lang by removing him from his position. Along with confiscating the property that he and Hu Yin had supported over the years from merchants and nobles into the royal treasury.

 The emperor explained the punishment to both father and son and why he had to do this. After all, Shuang Wang Lang was still considered his brother-in-law. He couldn't order Shuang Wanglang to be executed right now. But the punishment was to remove him from office and confiscate his assets. It would cause him and his family a lot of hardship.

" Thank you, Your Majesty, for deciding this matter fairly. Your Majesty, will you send someone to handle this royal command? "

" I'd rather have my royal soldiers and my closest eunuch go. And what about my niece? Where did your people manage to go? I sent someone to take care of my sister a week ago. But no news has come back yet. "

" My people have already taken care of her. Probably because the Chief of the Criminal Department covered up the news of Mrs. Kramang's death. His Majesty was therefore not aware of this matter. Plus the day she died The two of us are still at the military camp. It's unlikely that anyone will be suspicious of this. My people also say that the doctor examined her and found that she had suddenly suffered a heart attack. So the matter has gone quiet. "

" Huh, I think Shuang Wanglang is afraid of my punishment. So he didn't inform my granddaughter like this. This person is truly selfish. I don't understand why so many women are attracted to someone like him. Even my younger sister had to sin along with him like this. Sigh! "

" Your Majesty, don't be worried. After this everything should be much better. After many years of not punishing the great nobles. When the royal command was sent Those old nobles who hide their tails must be even more secretive. "

" Well, what you said is correct, Akan. So you don't want to help me find evidence of other nobles? I will be able to bring new blood nobles to use with ease. Nowadays, I have to listen to the old nobleman who has prevented the growth of a noble nobleman for many years. "

" Since it is Your Majesty's order. I'll arrange for people to infiltrate the palaces of the various nobles first. The evidence will have to wait some more time if they really did commit a crime. "

" Thank you very much, Akan, for always helping me. I really can't imagine not having your help to eliminate quite a few bad nobles. Now I probably won't be able to work comfortably like I am today. "

 Zhuang Kang did not dare to accept so many compliments from His Majesty. He was sincerely willing to help this brother. In return for the emperor hiding the news about him as well. The emperor also questioned Zhuang Kang about the petition and how he obtained the evidence. Until he found out that it was his grandson's plan. The emperor clapped his hands in delight at Shuang Zhizhi's idea. He really didn't think his grandson was this smart, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance of getting rid of his annoying brother-in-law.

 The three of them sat drinking tea and eating Shuang Zihua's snacks, chatting until it was almost time for dinner. They ate Shuang Zihua's snacks and forgot to eat lunch. The emperor also praised her for making delicious desserts. It was good that His Majesty still kept one box for the Emperor to try. Otherwise, all the snacks would surely fall into the stomachs of the three of them.

 When the time was right Zhuang Kang and his son first bid farewell to the emperor. As for the emperor, he also summoned people to give orders regarding tomorrow's royal orders and the seizure of property for the royal treasury. After giving orders to his men The emperor called his closest eunuch to carry the box of snacks to the emperor's palace together. Today he will have dinner with his wife. And I will wait to hear feedback on my sister-in-law's desserts from her as well.

 Zhuang Kang and Shuang Zhizhi returned and it was almost time for dinner. Shuang Zihua asked them to go change their clothes before coming to eat. The father and son went their separate ways and soon returned to sit down to eat with Shuang Zihua. Zhuang Kang also told her that His Majesty praised her snacks and ate quite a few.

 Shuang Zihua heard that His Majesty liked her snacks and smiled happily. She is happy when she hears that people like her desserts. It made her feel more valuable. that an ordinary person like her Able to make people happy with her handmade desserts.

 Zhuang Kang saw that his wife looked happy. So he thought about her wanting to open a dessert shop. In fact, he wanted her to open a shop that she liked. Only, he still had a mission to complete. Now his people have been scattering together to find news for over a year now. He was just waiting for the time to go back and regain his position as the leader of the Xiongnu Clan. Zhuang Kang did not dare to give hope to his little wife.

 after dinner Zhuang Kang called his son to his office to talk again. Shuang Zihua saw that there was nothing about her that he wanted to discuss. So she returned to her house to rest as well. Shuang Zihua was not in a hurry about the dessert shop she had discussed with her husband this morning. She just remembered and told him. She didn't think that she would make Zhuang Kang think so much that she had to consult her son tonight.

 After the servant brought tea and snacks, he placed them in the office for Zhuang Kang and Shuang Zhizhi. Zhuang Kang then inquired with his son about his wife's dessert shop in the border town. Shuang Zhizhi was surprised that Father asked about this. But he told me as much as he could remember how Mother started the shop. And how have they lived together in the border town for over ten years?

 Zhuang Kang listened to his son's story and understood why his wife wanted to open a dessert shop here again. She was just happy to be able to make snacks for the villagers to eat at a reasonable price. It wasn't that he didn't know how much more expensive things were in the capital than anywhere else. Zhuang Kang put the matter of his wife's dessert shop aside for now. Now he wanted to tell his son the truth about his mission that he had promised his father and mother over ten years ago.

 Shuang Zhizhi heard Father say that he had something important to tell him. So he listened more intently than usual to what Father was about to say. Zhuang Kang began to tell the story of who he was and what had happened to lead him to be here. Including the truth he revealed to the emperor since he became a general many years ago. Until he and the emperor became close like brothers, this came from the fact that they had always sincerely helped each other. Even talking about the mission he sent people on more than a year ago. Zhuang Kang also informed his son. He thought that he would soon have to travel to take care of the matters of the Xiongnu Clan himself.
