Chapter 1600: House Seized
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The officials in Lizhou who have committed crimes will be punished and replaced with a new batch. Not only will Qiu Pusheng’s house be raided, but the others who have stolen the people’s wealth will also be raided. If they can return it to the people, then they should. If they can’t, then they will be given relief food and relief money. We can’t let another person starve to death.
“As for the people who starved to death, try your best to find their names and give some relief items to their families. We can’t let them live again, but it can at least comfort their souls in heaven.”
“How wise!” Shi Che immediately said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Is there anything else?” Shi Yuan asked when he saw that his younger brother had not left.
Shi Che hesitated for a moment, but he still lifted his robe and knelt. “Brother, I hope you can spare Butler Fan’s life.”
Shi Yuan knew that the late Emperor had never treated his younger brother well, so his younger brother had never felt any fatherly love from the late Emperor. Similarly, he had never felt any fatherly love from the late Emperor. However, his younger brother was lucky enough to meet Butler Fan. In some ways, Butler Fan had given his younger brother something like fatherly love. Moreover, Butler Fan’s crime was not unforgivable. Therefore, Shi Yuan nodded and said, “Get up. When you’ve investigated everything and confirmed that he’s just anxious to save his nephew and doesn’t know anything else, you can do as you see fit.”
“Thank you!”
Only then did Shi Che agree to leave.
As for Fan Jianxi’s wife and children, he didn’t need to beg them at all. His brother would never kill the innocent. If they were innocent, those people would naturally be fine.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan only told their family that they wanted to go to town this afternoon. If they stayed in town tonight, they wouldn’t have to get up so early to visit Mister Qi’s house tomorrow morning. It just so happened that they didn’t have to visit any relatives tonight. When the family heard that, they naturally agreed. They just reminded Xue Yan to take good care of Jiang Yue. They said that Jiang Yue was pregnant and had to be taken care of, especially when riding the carriage. They shouldn’t rush the horse and were told to drive slowly. Xue Yan naturally agreed.
In the afternoon, Xue Yan drove the carriage out of Locust Village with Jiang Yue. Then, he handed the carriage to the secret guards not far from Locust Village.
The four gentlemen had already sent someone to tell them that they would help cover it up.
The secret guards led the carriage away. Jiang Yue looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she brought Xue Yan into the space. Then, through the black door, she came to Da Chen.
The people of Stone Village were having their lunch when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan arrived.
The people of Stone Village were very surprised.
Previously, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan only appeared once every two months, but this time, it was only ten and a half days.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan asked the people of Stone Village if anyone had come to Stone Village to look for them. The people of Stone Village said that they had not. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
It seemed that Fan Jianxi had either not found out about them or had not sent anyone to investigate.
They felt that it was more likely that no one had been sent to investigate.
Fan Jianxi was so cunning and smart. If he were to investigate, even if he did not dare to do it openly, he would soon find out. After all, they had lived in the prefecture for so many days and had even sent out so many missing person notices without hiding their identity. The commotion was big enough to capture anyone’s attention.
