The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 729: Make A Big Show of It

If the people failed to perform their duties and the officials failed to investigate, then the matter would be settled.

When Xie Qiao was at the Water Moon Temple, if the people came to offer incense and worship the gods, most of them would ask for a son.

The female spirits she met were indeed more haunting. Each of them had a rough fate and were not valued.

However, it had to be said that the Qianyuan dynasty was indeed not bad. For instance, in the capital city, women could show their faces in public. There were even women who made a living. Women could even go to school. Compared to the previous dynasty, the difference was heaven and earth.

“Eldest Brother, if they’d be given 70 times of caning for drowning one baby girl, then what if there were two? That would be 140 times, right?” Xie Qiao pestered him to settle the score.

Xie Pinggang was stunned for a moment, and then he clapped his hands. “That makes sense! Other things aside, if she was caned 140 times, I guarantee that she won’t be able to breathe!”

“Well, since you want to cane her, then you can’t just kill her in the criminal division and throw her out. Those who don’t know might think that you guys have done something fishy. I think that we should drag her to the entrance of the market, announce her crimes in public, and then execute her in public. What do you think?” Xie Qiao had a flattering look on her face.

“You’re just a little girl. It’s bad for you to get involved in the criminal division’s case.” Xie Pinggang frowned and looked fierce, “But what you said makes sense. I’ll ask the Crown Prince tomorrow. 140 times isn’t a small number. I’m afraid that someone will complain about the Crown Prince again for this matter…”

Xie Qiao nodded.

“What… does the criminal division’s stick look like…?” Xie Qiao was quite persistent.

“They’re just ordinary sticks. What’s wrong?” Xie Pinggang raised his eyebrows.

“I-It’s not written in the law. Do they use wooden sticks, bamboo sticks, or spikes?” Xie Qiao scratched her nose and said in a low voice.

Xie Pinggang was silent for a moment.

“Do you know what you’re talking about?” Xie Pinggang was very serious, “I know that this family is quite evil and deserves to die. But if they really beat them to death? I might not be able to be an official. Even the Crown Prince might be implicated…”

Xie Qiao laughed. “Isn’t the purpose of being an official to seek justice? Eldest Brother, you are still an official of the criminal division. You are investigating a murder case. If you’re removed from your position because of this, I can support you for the rest of your life.”

As for the Crown Prince…

Xie Qiao also knew that if they did this, he would be implicated.

However, when she went out today, she ate someone else’s biscuit. When she saw the woman’s wound after being beaten, she thought of the ghoul’s bloody belly…

How could someone who had killed people continue to do as they pleased? Why was it that the children who came to the world with great effort were drowned before they could even catch their breath?

Xie Qiao felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

Perhaps she was a woman and had experienced it more deeply.

She could accept that as a woman, she had to abide by the etiquette. As a woman, when she reached the right age, she had to look after her husband and raise children. However, that did not mean that she approved of or praised all of this.

At this moment, Xie Qiao suddenly thought about being the princess consort…

Seemed to be not bad.

At the very least, when one was in a high position, she could do unorthodox things such as influencing her husband as she wished.

Xie Qiao’s gaze was burning, and she seemed to have a little more passion and anticipation.

“Eldest Brother, our family has just offered a copy of the world map… Don’t worry, just do it. His Majesty will definitely spare you this time. He has yet to get over the novelty of the world map, and he’s still worrying about how to reward our family.” Xie Qiao grinned at Xie Pinggang.

Xie Pinggang looked helpless.

He just wanted to kill the Bao family members.

He just wanted to do it secretly. It was normal that people went in the criminal division and not come out!

However, Xie Qiao… wanted to make a big show of it. That was a different story.
