MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 538 Thunder is coming
At this moment, a loud thunder sounded from the originally blue sky.
The whole earth seemed to be shaking and shaking.
The sound of "Boom -" made the emperor tremble.
He didn't care to reprimand Mr. Wu, and hurriedly ran to the window, raising his serious eyebrows and looking at the sky.
Outside, there were already many maids and imperial soldiers, raising their heads and pointing at the thick clouds that were approaching quickly.
As the dark clouds approached, the thunder roared loudly, making people feel anxious and uneasy.
Master Wu asked in astonishment: "A natural disaster is coming?!"
The emperor turned back sternly, glanced at him, and said in a solemn tone: "Bless yourself for your son!"
Look at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, it should be the government office.
The emperor really guessed it right.
In the government office, Wu Ke heard the thunder, grabbed Mrs. Wu's sleeve, and shivered.
“Mom, save me! Save me! Thunder is really going to hit me!”
Mrs. Wu also turned pale with fright, and she hugged her son tightly.
“Don’t be afraid, we are in the government office, there is a roof here, we can’t hurt you.”
When the magistrate heard this, he became anxious and said, "Throw them out quickly, don't let the lightning damage the roof. How will I explain to the magistrate then?"
"Yes." The officials immediately grabbed Wu Ke and threw him into the courtyard.
Wu Ke cried loudly and tried to crawl into the house, but his hands and feet were **** by the officials and he lay on the ground waiting to die.
Mrs. Wu's face was pale and she was crying.
She knelt down and begged Shen Ningning who was sitting in the chair.
The girl looked indifferent.
"Princess Funing, please show your noble hand and give Funke a way out. He did make rude remarks, but the crime will not lead to death. Why do you want to kill them all?"
Shen Ningning rolled her beautiful eyes and smiled: "Why did I kill them all? When he swore just now, didn't you hear it, Mrs. Wu?"
Mrs. Wu’s expression froze.
Shen Ningning: "I have already reminded him that there is a **** three feet above his head. If he insists on swearing, who can blame him?"
After saying that, the girl looked at Wu Ke in the court: "Just let him suffer."
As soon as the words fell, a white light suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, followed by a "crack" sound. Mrs. Wu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, covered her head and screamed.
When the white light dissipated, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the land next to Wu Ke.
Wu Ke stared blankly and fell to the ground stiffly, as if he was completely frightened.
Mrs. Wu quickly ran over and threw herself on Wu Ke.
Wu Ke only reacted at this time. When he heard the second thunder, he immediately grabbed Mrs. Wu tightly and blocked him with her.
When the people around him saw this, they were frightened and could only make an uproar.
“It’s a pity for all the parents in the world. Mrs. Wu doted on her son so much that she eventually developed such a selfish character.”
"Who says it's not the case? It's really not a person to use his own mother to block the thunder."
Shen Ningning also saw it and frowned: "I'm so confused. What's the use of protecting such a son?"
Xie Mingxu was afraid that a thunder would kill the mother and son.
He whispered: "Sister, you won't kill anyone, right?"
Shen Ningning shook her head slightly and calmly picked up the tea cup.
"Those who scare him will make him afraid for his whole life. Brother, don't worry, he stopped after a while, and then he struck twice. I called forty-nine thunders."
Everyone around was shocked when they heard her words.
The county magistrate ordered Shen Ningning to kneel down.
The title of blessed girl is indeed well deserved!
Thunder and lightning kept falling on the soil around Mrs. Wu and Wu Ke, and the smell of burnt blackness kept coming.
The people were very scared at first.
But later it was discovered that the thunder only struck next to Wu Ke, so he called his friends and family, and they all rushed to see such a spectacle.
Mo Lingwei sat next to Shen Ningning, tilted his head and asked, "What do you want to do with him?" It was certain that he would be dealt with according to the law, but Wu Ke was only charged with assaulting someone in a brothel, so he didn't expect the sentence to be heavy.
According to the law, he would be slapped with a dozen boards at most.
So Mo Lingwei asked this because he wanted to see Shen Ningning's idea. If Shen Ningning refused to let Wu Ke go, then he could just find some death penalty title and put it on it.
Shen Ningning thought seriously for a while.
"He has been ruined today. He probably won't be able to stay in the capital any longer. His life doesn't seem to be that serious. Chang Yi is the one who suffers from this matter. Why don't you send someone to ask her."
At this moment, the Imperial Guards came quickly on horseback, holding high the imperial edict.
“Leave someone behind!”
This shout made Shen Ningning puff out and almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
I've only heard of the idea of leaving a person behind by a sword, but what the **** is this about leaving a person behind by a thunderbolt?
She blinked and watched as the Custodes quickly entered.
Mo Lingwei stood up suddenly with a cold expression on his face: "What do you mean, father, do you want us to spare Wu Ke?"
The Imperial Guard knelt on the ground and held up the imperial edict with both hands: "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Princess, Mr. Wu has just resigned from his post. He also asked the Emperor to send his unfilial son Wu Ke to exile in the border area. I just want to spare his life."
Shen Ningning was startled, took the imperial edict and looked at it carefully.
It turned out that Mr. Wu was going to the palace to seek favor from the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was not only scolded by the emperor.
And when he saw so many lightning strikes in the direction of the government office, he suddenly panicked.
He asked no more. He only asked the emperor to spare Wu Ke's life. He was willing to donate all his family wealth and retire to his hometown. As for Wu Ke, let him suffer the pain and be exiled to the frontier!
The emperor has agreed. This imperial edict was brought over and let Shen Ningning make the decision.
Shen Ningning pondered for a moment, and with a wave of her hand, the thunder in the sky gradually disappeared. After the dark clouds dispersed, the sky was once again exposed to the scorching sun.
Over the years, she has already learned to skillfully use everything in the fairyland.
"Then let him live first. I have no objection to the emperor's uncle's decision. I'm just waiting to see if Chang Yi still wants to be angry. You can lock him up first."
The county magistrate received the order and quickly asked the officials to drag away Wu Ke who was so frightened that he wet his pants.
What happened today spread quickly throughout the capital.
So much so that the dignitaries were alert and emphasized to their daughters that they must keep their eyes open when looking for a husband.
Otherwise, if it were not a coincidence that Wu Ke married Ye Changyi, I don’t know what kind of suffering she would have suffered.
Ye Changyi also had no objection to the emperor's decision.
Even if the emperor had not issued such an order, Taifu Ye would have told the Wu family to get out of the capital.
However, Ye Changyi added another request.
On his way out of Beijing, Wu Ke had to hang a board around his neck, with the evil deeds he had committed clearly written on it.
Lest he be exiled to the frontier and harm the unsuspecting local people.
On the day Wu Ke left Beijing, Mr. Wu and his wife came to say goodbye. One of the couple looked sad, and the other hated the iron.
“Father, mother!” Wu Ke was in a state of embarrassment. Where could he still look as domineering as before?
Mrs. Wu was most reluctant to give up, sobbing and crying: "Ke'er, when you get to the border, you have to take care of yourself. Your parents are no longer around. Don't be willful. Behave well. Maybe we will have a chance to meet in this life. ."
Wu Ke wiped away tears: “I don’t want to leave!”
Master Wu was so angry that he walked over and punched Wu Ke on the head. Wu Ke suffered a lot of pain.
"You bastard, you are really out of your mind. I just indulge you and dote on you, but you still don't know how to restrain yourself when you go outside. Now you are better. Are you in trouble? I even lost my official position!"
"What do you think you are doing by provoking the Xie family? Do you think you have a long life?"
No matter how regretful Wu Ke was, it was too late.
In the end, he cried and was escorted away by the escorts.
Although Xu Jingxi took action, his original intention was to protect the reputation of his friends, so he gained the admiration of everyone.
Having the courage to risk ruining one's own future and standing up for a friend in a place like a brothel can be called sentimental and righteous.
For a time, the threshold in Xie's house was almost broken by the matchmaker.
Originally, every time the matchmaker came, she would either talk about Xie Mingxu's marriage or Xie Ming'an.
Now, all he needs to do is to visit Mr. Xie and ask Xu Jingxi if he has a girl he likes.
Most of the well-matched ladies in the city have taken a fancy to him. (End of chapter)
