Zhou Weizong’s expression was complicated, and he was filled with mixed emotions.

“My cousin has always been timid. Brother Xie, you didn’t scare him, did you?” Zhou Weizong asked carefully.

Xie Pinggang was a little puzzled. “Your cousin doesn’t seem like a timid person? That’s true. You haven’t seen him for a few years, right? Although that kid is much shorter than me, he can be considered to be passable among men. His figure is vigorous, and he’s like a snake. He’s soft and boneless. When he fights, it’s really hard to catch him!”

Zhou Weizong’s heart jolted!

“Soft and boneless?! D-Did you touch him?!” Zhou Weizong held back and asked in shock.

Xie Pinggang looked puzzled, “When sparring, it’s inevitable to have some bumps and bruises. As a man, what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, although some parts of his body were bruised by me, I gave him ointment. The ointment was given to me by His Highness. It’s very effective for boosting blood circulation and removing bruises. You don’t have to worry.”

Xie Pinggang did not say that he was actually beaten up more often.

In addition, sometimes he even wanted to help apply the ointment himself, but Yu Xian did not like it. She thought that he would hurt her if he was clumsy, so the good brothers did not have the intimacy of applying ointment for each other!

Zhou Weizong gulped hard, and his whole body trembled.

Xie Pinggang, oh, Xie Pinggang. He was really horrible!

“Let’s go!” Zhou Weizong gritted his teeth.

“Where are we going?” Xie Pinggang was stunned.

“Aren’t we taking leave of absence to see my cousin?!” Zhou Weizong said angrily.

Xie Pinggang chuckled. “What are you so anxious for? Your cousin won’t run away. I still have business to attend to later!”

As he said that, Xie Pinggang strode off to pay his respects to the Crown Prince!

He told him about the case of the drowning of the baby girls. If His Highness agreed, he would arrest the Bao family.

Of course, his sister also said that before he went to capture them, he had to arrange for some people to go over and ask what Bao Lunsheng’s wife wanted. If she wanted a divorce, it would be handled together.

However, he thought after suffering so much for this man, what was so great about a divorce? How happy would it be to lose a husband?

With money and possessions, it would be easier to raise a child. The only bad thing was... if the mother-in-law, the midwife, and even Bao Lunsheng were arrested, the whole family would be criminals. If she were to remain a widow at home, it would be inevitable that people would look down on her.

If they were divorced, her reputation would be better.

It was actually just an ordinary case. Right now, the administrative office was also wondering why the criminal division wanted to interfere.

Xie Pinggang was also worried about Master Mo, that was why he meddled in other people’s business. If it was purely her sister’s suggestion, he would not have brought it up to the Crown Prince.

Xie Pinggang left happily, but Zhou Weizong felt like his heart was being gnawed by 10,000 ants. He was burning with anxiety.

It was as if if he went to the Xie Residence two hours later, his cousin would suffer for another two hours!

He felt uncomfortable all over!

He stood guard outside with a serious expression, not allowing anyone to enter.

Not long after, Xie Pinggang explained the situation to the Crown Prince.

Zhao Xuanjing frowned, unexpectedly, he took it seriously. “After the great ancestor conquered the world, the first batch of decrees issued included a decree specifically targeting female infanticide. Unfortunately, the decree isn’t strict enough, so there are still many innocent female infanticide in the world. I thought that there would be fewer such things at the foot of the capital, but I didn’t expect someone to be so bold.

“Qiao’er is right. Since the twins are dead, the punishment should be doubled. Bring your men over and capture them. Execute them before noon tomorrow!” Zhao Xuanjing added.

Xie Pinggang was stunned for a moment because of the Crown Prince’s endearment. Then, he quickly asked, “But if we really beat 140 canes with great fanfare, this person will die without a doubt. By then, won’t Your Highness be criticized by others?”

“It’ll just be a few sentences. Do you think it would kill me like strong wind and sword?”
