After the corpse on the execution ground was disposed of and the blood stains were wiped away, Xiao Chengyi let go of the person in his arms.
Wei Xingyang came over, saluted Xiao Chengyi and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He knew that Xiao Chengyi asked him to supervise the beheading because he was standing up for him and telling the Sun family that beggars they looked down upon could also get ahead.
Xiao Chengyi asked: "What are your plans?"
Wei Xingyang knelt on one knee and said, "I am willing to listen to your Majesty's orders."
Xiao Chengyi said: "You are different from others. It would be too unqualified to follow me as a bodyguard.
There is still a shortage of a prefect in Jingzhou. Logically speaking, it needs to be transferred from elsewhere, but I think it is too troublesome.
You are very familiar with the local area of Jingzhou, and I think you are the most suitable, so I plan to promote you to the post of Jingzhou Magistrate, are you willing?"
Wei Xingyang was startled. He looked up at Xiao Chengyi and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really think I'm suitable?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "I believe that after this incident, you already know what you want?
In Yunwu Mountain, you can control those 50,000 private soldiers with different intentions, are you still afraid that you cannot manage Jingzhou?"
When Wei Xingyang heard what he said, he was immediately filled with confidence. He nodded and said, "I will definitely live up to the prince's expectations."
Xiao Chengyi helped him up: "Now that you are an official, it's time to change your name to a lower official."
After that, he added: "Let you handle the funeral affairs of the Sun family's father and daughter. Although they are sinners, they still need to be buried well."
"yes."
Wei Xingyang responded.
Xiao Chengyi nodded and said: "Go."
Wei Xingyang bowed and turned around to retreat. Xiao Chengyi turned around and saw Mu Yun'an looking at him with admiration. His eyes were shining, and there was no one else in his eyes except him.
His mind moved, and he asked her with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
It had been a long time since he had seen her look with such admiration.
Mu Yunan said: "I just think Brother Yi is so powerful. When I think that such a powerful man is my husband and the father of my child, I feel very happy and proud."
Xiao Chengyi's brows moved, he held the person in his arms, and said with a smile: "The mouth is so sweet, let me try to see if you have stolen honey?"
He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Mu Yunan was a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and pushed him and said, "This is still on the street."
Xiao Chengyi said: "So what, it's not illegal for me and my wife to be intimate."
With that said, he kissed her again.
Then I heard a cough, accompanied by Mu Rufeng's scolding voice: "What kind of behavior do you have in broad daylight?"
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
His father-in-law came to trouble him again. He sighed and reluctantly let go of the man in his arms, and said to Mu Rufeng: "I will leave for Beijing tomorrow. Don't worry, Dad, there will be no further delays this time."
Mu Rufeng said: "Did I ask you this?"
Xiao Chengyi looked at him and heard Mu Rufeng say: "I have no objection to your promotion, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so?
How many people are eyeing the position of prefect with envy, how about you, you just promoted a commoner with a wave of your hand, and you are not afraid of going back and being impeached by all the officials?"
It wasn't that he thought Wei Xingyang was incompetent, but that his son-in-law acted without rules.
