Chapter 349
The setting sun had already set at some point, night was gradually falling, and everything was shrouded in vague shadows.
The atmosphere in the lobby of the Criminal Department was somewhat stagnant.
The blood on the ground has not dried yet, and dark red blood stains are slowly flowing on the cold bluestone ground, shocking and dazzling.
It contains Xu Qian's blood, Master Li's, and Cheng Wang's.
The first thing to break the silence was Feng's cry.
She was like a bird trapped in a cage, paralyzed on the ground in despair and grief, feebly scratching the Marquis of Guangping.
But there was still a weird smile on his face, "King Cheng, he is really King Cheng."
“Have all of our years of loyalty, hard work, money and effort gone to the dogs?
No, no, dogs still know how to be grateful."
She murmured sadly, a tear of despair slipped out of the corner of her eye, but the smile on her face became even brighter.
He has actually become crazy.
Marquis Guangping was startled and hurriedly covered her mouth, "Do you really don't want to live? King Cheng has already said that his subordinates colluded with the second son. What are you talking about?"
Feng threw Marquis Guangping away, raised his hand and slapped Marquis Guangping hard.
Now both sides of Guangping Hou's face were swollen quite evenly.
Ling Yun's left cheek was swollen, and Feng's right cheek was swollen.
Marquis Guangping felt the burning pain in his face, and his anger rose up, "Ms. Feng, you..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Ms. Feng slap herself hard again, with such force that one side of her face instantly became red and swollen.
"My Ren'er, it was your parents who harmed you...my parents harmed you."
Feng staggered and walked out with disheveled hair. She looked much older instantly.
Marquis Guangping was stunned for a moment and quickly chased him out. When he reached the door, he still did not forget to give Gao Jiu his hand.
"Eunuch Gao, don't take Feng's nonsense to heart."
Gao Jiu lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Feng can't bear the pain of losing her son. Our family understands."
Marquis Guangping breathed a sigh of relief and then went after Feng.
The students standing outside the Criminal Department gradually dispersed.
Everyone gathered here because of the friendship between fellow villagers and a little bit of grief and indignation caused by Zheng Chengye's innocent and unjust death.
Now, in their eyes, Zheng Chengye has been cleared of his grievances and has an official position and reward to be able to seduce his heir, which is extremely complete.
Qin Mo and He Hong were still standing there, waiting for Su Yue and Xiao Sanlang.
Feng's expression was abnormal and he walked past Qin Mo like crazy.
Qin Mo glanced at her with a complicated expression.
But only Gao Jiu, Su Yue, Xiao Sanlang and Wei Wuhou were left in the room.
Ling Yun didn't know when he left, probably because he felt there was no fun to see.
Marquis Weiwu looked deeply at Xiao Sanlang, bowed his hands to Gao Jiugong and left.
Without others, Gao Jiu spoke with less scruples, "I know that the young master insists on fairness and morality in his heart, but your majesty has compromised to this point, and the young master should take care of himself."
Xiao Sanlang stood in the dark, his expression unclear.
Su Yue gently shook his hand and said, "Let's go see Xu Qian."
Xiao Sanlang took a deep breath, he knew that Su Yue understood all the resentment in his heart.
"good."
Watching the couple leave hand in hand.
Gao Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief. The matter was finally resolved and he could return to the palace.
In the m medical center, Chonghua had bandaged Xu Qian's wound. When he saw Su Yue and Xiao Sanlang coming back, he wiped the blood on his hands.
"The injury is serious, but under my hands, the possibility of being snatched away by the King of Hell is very small."
Su Yue and Xiao Sanlang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qian is the Xu family's only relative in the world. If anything happens to Xu Qian, the Xu family will be the most saddened.
Naturally, Chonghua understood this truth best and said, "If he is still asleep, don't move him home, lest your mother will feel uncomfortable seeing him."
After a pause, he pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at Xiao Sanlang at leisure.
"What? You look listless, tsk, have you been hit by that good father of yours?"
Xiao Sanlang resisted, glanced at him, remained silent, and looked a little gloomy.
Su Yue hasn't seen Xiao Sanlang like this for a long time.
She thought for a while and said: "This case is actually a struggle for power between King Rui and King Cheng, which affects Chi Yu. You are unhappy. First, you are angry that the emperor ignored human life for the sake of the royal family.
Second, I think it’s too difficult for people to seek fairness and justice, right?”
Xiao Sanlang sighed deeply. Sure enough, only Yue Yue understood him.
He whispered: "Two human lives are not as important to him as the royal face. The life of a young official is only worth the blessing of a fifth-rank official."
Chonghua added with a faint expression, "No, it's the Yin Feng of a fifth-grade Yuanwailang plus one thousand taels of silver."
Xiao Sanlang sneered, "What's the difference? Don't you think it's ridiculous?
In his heart, the imperial power is majestic and cannot be violated, and the royal face cannot be tarnished. But aren't other people's lives just life?
Xu Qian is a marquis, Qin Ren is the eldest son of the marquis family, and Zheng Chengye is also a famous official. It is so difficult to find the truth.
What if the person who died today was an ordinary person? Wouldn't this matter be revealed with just a few sighs and a few moderate comments? "
Su Yue was silent, Xiao Sanlang got to the root of the matter.
In the eyes of the royal family, ordinary people are as humble as ants, and they will die as soon as they die.
"Saburo, have you ever thought about whether your thoughts would be different if you had not lived among the people for these six years?"
Xiao Sanlang was slightly startled and began to think carefully.
If he were still Xiao Chen, the aloof prince, would he have such a big reaction to this matter?
The answer is that he is not sure.
Su Yue held his hand and said softly: "Have you ever thought about it? Maybe it's because of your different life experiences that you have a deeper view on this matter."
King Rui, King Cheng and the Emperor were born to be aloof, and naturally they did not take the lives of other people seriously.
Chonghua curled his lips and said, "This is to the point. Our Emperor can be said to be a lucky man living in a wealthy family for the rest of his life.
He is the youngest son of the late emperor. Because he is much younger than the princes above, he has been favored since he was a child and has never suffered much.
When the royal brothers above him began to compete desperately for performance in front of the late emperor, they were leading the maids in the palace to play house.
When several princes were fighting to the death, he turned into a romantic young man and was nostalgic for his country.
Later, several princes fought so fiercely that they died and were injured, leaving only one and a half who still had some fighting ability. The late queen married him to the biological sister of Marquis Wu An, who was your mother.
With the backing of Marquis Wu'an, who had great military exploits, it can be said that he ascended to the throne without any effort.
Perhaps the journey has been too smooth, so he doesn't really care about many things, and what he cares about most is his own face."
This was the first time Su Yue heard about Zhang Hedi, and after hearing it, he only had one sentence to summarize.
The so-called leak-picking man refers to Zhang Hedi.
Xiao Sanlang also looked a little surprised, obviously he didn't know much about what happened before Emperor Zhang He came to the throne.
Chonghua shrugged, "Speaking of which, Xiao Chen's life experience was exposed and he was accused of the scandal of having an affair with his brother-in-law. This is the biggest grievance he has suffered in his life."
Su Yue...has left a huge mark.
She couldn't help but wonder, "If he cares so much about the royal family's face, how could he admit to this scandal?
He could hint to Mr. Li and let Xu Qian take the blame for becoming king.
Didn’t he think about evading or covering up the matter between him and Princess An?”
Historically, there have been many scandals in the royal family, such as seizing a daughter-in-law, molesting an eldest sister-in-law, or even seducing a concubine's mother, and haven't they been covered up in every possible way?
