Chapter 372 One hundred and seventy-one · Angry
The sky in Beijing has been sunny for more than half a month without any sign of rain. Seeing that several places near the outskirts of Beijing are on fire due to excessive dryness, many people's hearts are just like the weather, which is unbearably hot and dry.
The Xu family's case has not been forgotten as time goes by. Instead, it has become more and more popular and intensified because of another incident - the Xu family's Japanese case did not happen overnight, but began more than ten years ago.
The reason for the crazy pursuit of Su Mingqing this time was because Su Mingqing had a glimpse of the secret of their collusion with Japanese pirates, bribery of Japanese ronin, and assassination of the prince.
The Ministry of Punishment has been very busy lately, and everyone from Gaoping to the lower levels is all worried.
But no one dared to slack off - with the coming of Queen Xiaoci's birthday, Emperor Yuanfeng's temper became more and more violent, and there were faint signs of his frantic purge of the inner palace after the death of Queen Xiaoci.
For a moment, everyone was in danger. Even Concubine Li was reprimanded by Emperor Yuanfeng for being too gorgeous and scolded her for disrespecting the late empress and being frivolous and inappropriate.
Anyone with an eye for it knows the reason for Emperor Yuanfeng's anger.
The late prince almost came back to defend himself, but he died inexplicably in Shandong. How unjust and ridiculous.
In order to do this, Emperor Yuanfeng almost killed the second and third princes with a knife, and also forced their mothers and concubines to death. Later, although he did not really take the lives of the second and third princes, he also killed them.
He was demoted to a commoner, which shows his anger. Now the old things are brought up again, and secrets are vaguely involved. It is hard to imagine how devastating Emperor Yuanfeng's anger would be if the real culprit was discovered at this time.
The sun was scorching in the sky, there was not even a breath of wind, everyone was sweating profusely from the heat, and there were not many people on the street. Except for the beggars huddled in the shadows, Zhuque Street was empty.
In the afternoon like this, it is always easy to feel sleepy. The beggars closed their eyes and were dozing off, but suddenly they heard the sound of neat horse hooves in the distance from far to near. Their sense of smell has always been the strongest, so they subconsciously realized it.
Dangerous, he hurriedly straightened his neck and looked towards the source of the sound.
A group of men and horses flew from the archway from far to near. The crackling sound of whips echoed in the street, filled with murderous intent. The beggars subconsciously opened their eyes and silently watched the group of men and horses disappear at the corner of the street.
After looking at each other for a while, someone finally said in horror: "Oh my god, what happened? Was that corpse carried on the horse just now?"
Wordlessly, blood dripped all over the stone pavement of Zhuque Street. The blood stains were so bright red under the sun.
At the same time, Princess Chun'an was banging on her door desperately, pleading with King Fenyang in tears: "Father, I beg you, I beg you, save Wenxun!"
Princess Chun'an, who had just lamented the misfortune of the Xu family, did not expect that bad luck would soon befall her - just a few days after she came back from the other village, Shao Wenxun said that she would go to her friend's house to congratulate her, and she never returned.
.
Over the years, Shao Wenxun has been an extremely gentle husband. No matter what the situation, he has never stayed out without saying hello. When he didn't come back that day, Princess Chun'an became panicked and asked people to go to Shao Wenxun's good friend to inquire about him.
Condition.
But the people who were sent came back with nothing, saying that Shao Wenxun had never been there.
This situation had not happened in so many years. Princess Chun'an couldn't believe it for a moment, and then she subconsciously felt that something had happened to Shao Wenxun, but she never thought that Shao Wenxun would be related to the Su family case.
When people from the Criminal Department came to arrest Shao Wenxun, she was shocked, scared and angry. Only at that moment did she realize that everything the Xu family did was inseparable from Shao Wenxun.
She didn't want to believe it, but the evidence Gao Ping brought all confirmed what he said.
Although Shao Wenxun was a county horse, but his salary was limited, Shao Wenxun was able to stay in his hometown Tianqianmo. Even though his father's land hoarding, which had been exposed due to the Qin family's affairs, was just the tip of the iceberg.
Among the evidence brought by the Ministry of Punishment, the land deeds of the farms and gambling houses and restaurants owned by Shao Wenxun were to the point where even Princess Chun'an would be speechless.
Even if Shao Wenxun had been a county horse for ten lifetimes, he would not have been able to save these things.
She opened her mouth, unable to imagine that the person on her pillow could do so many things without telling her.
The documents from the Ministry of Punishment were quickly distributed, and it was only at that moment that she realized that Shao Wenxun was not there to express his congratulations. He had clearly escaped.
No matter whether the Fenyang Palace will be implicated in the evil things he did, or whether she and her children will be ruined because of this incident.
He abandoned them and ran away.
But the time of gnashing of teeth was only a few days. Princess Chun'an went from furious to angry and disappointed to sad and painful. In the end, worry got the upper hand.
Today, after hearing that Shao Wenxun had been captured by people from the Beijing camp, she was finally forced to make up her mind - she could not just watch Shao Wenxun die.
His daughter's cries were heartbreaking, but King Fenyang was unmoved. He stood under the corridor and said expressionlessly: "Silly boy, who can I save now? The death of the former prince has always been a knot in the heart of the Holy Lord.
If the truth is one
Let's just let the stone sink into the sea. But now the fire can't be contained. The Xu family worked with the Cheng family to frame Yongdingbo's mansion more than ten years ago, killed Yongdingbo, colluded with Japanese pirates, and even killed the prince in Dengzhou.
.”
These were all found out by the Ministry of Justice from the Xu family and his son, and the Xu family also revealed that the accomplice was Shao Wenxun.
Hearing Princess Chun'an's cries gradually stop, King Fenyang sighed again: "Shao Wenxun absconded without saying a word. It shows that the information obtained by the Criminal Department is indeed reliable. Under such circumstances, you still expect me to intercede for him and help him escape."
?Whether our palace can protect itself is a matter of debate!"
Unspeakable panic arose in Princess Chun'an's heart. She slid down the door and sat on the floor with tears on her face. She didn't care about the elegance she had always been proud of, and cried like a child.
So Shao Wenxun and the Xu family really killed Su Mingqing because Su Mingqing discovered evidence that they had colluded with Japanese pirates many years ago?
But
Princess Chun'an felt painful and angry at the same time. She inevitably even began to resent the Su family.
Why is there so much going on in the Su family?
Why did the Su family want to offend the Xu family, and why did Su Mingqing want to find out what the Xu family had done back then?
If the Su family had disappeared from the beginning, nothing like what happened today would have happened, and Shao Wenxun would not have been reduced from a county horse to a prisoner with his life and death still uncertain.
As the night fell, her eyes became as dark as the night.
