Sang Yan didn't fall for the trick and sneered coldly: "Killing and praying at the same time, the Buddha will probably hide away when he sees you."
He Ying still didn't know about Leng Gong, so he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Sang Yan smiled sarcastically: "Don't you know what good things your punishment department can do?"
There are twenty-three lives in the entire Cold Palace!
All dead!
The Shenxing Division is not investigating the case, it is clearly eradicating the root cause!
When He Ying heard about the Shen Xing Division, he understood everything.
With a cold face, he asked someone to summon Wang Lishuo to come over.
Wang Lishuo was still sorting out the case in the palace and did not leave. When he heard the summons, he came over immediately.
It takes less than a cup of tea.
He knelt down, saluted, and handed over the case: "This matter concerns Concubine Li. We have not yet interrogated the ministers. Everything will be subject to the emperor's orders."
He Ying took the case, read it quickly, and with a gloomy face, ordered: "Go and pass on Concubine Li!"
He handled the matter in the side hall, where Sang Yan was.
When Sang Yan Anjing saw this, she couldn't help but said: "Does the Emperor also think that Concubine Li did it?"
He Ying did not answer directly, but asked: "Who else could it be besides her?"
yes!
Besides Li Fei, who else could it be?
Everyone in the palace knew that they had a rift.
Concubine Li also spent time in the cold palace.
But is the truth really that simple?
Is there anyone fishing in troubled waters?
"You think it's not her?"
He Ying asked her opinion.
Sang Yan shook his head: "I don't know. I just feel something is wrong. But I can't tell what is wrong."
She is also a good person in the palace and has always been kind to others. Who else wants to harm her?
She was confused, but she knew what she should do.
"No matter who it is, Your Majesty, I don't want any more deaths."
Because of the Leng Gong incident, there were really too many casualties.
He Ying knew that she was kind-hearted, but he insisted: "I can only promise you that the murderer will not be spared, and the accomplices will be spared."
Sang Yan: "..."
Do you still want to kill Li Fei?
Concubine Li was dragged out of bed by the guards.
She was sleeping soundly, unaware that disaster was about to happen.
He was dragged here, not only disheveled, but also without shoes.
"What are you doing? Presumptuous! Let me go! I am Li Fei! How dare you do this to me!"
Qu Xueli screamed and was thrown to the ground.
Her hair became even more messy when she fell. When she looked up and saw the emperor and the people from the Department of Punishment, she knew she was in trouble. She looked panicked and asked, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"
She was holding the obscene clothes on her chest with both hands, her feet were still exposed, and she was in a very embarrassed state.
Sang Yan saw her and asked Qiuzhi to bring her a cloak.
Qu Xueli didn't want to be grateful at first, but in the presence of her husband, a woman's innocence was paramount, so she could only say thank you, take it, and put it on herself.
He Ying didn't care about this trivial matter and threw Shenzong directly in front of her: "See for yourself!"
After Qu Xueli saw it, she immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged! I have been wronged!"
"The evidence is conclusive, but you still dare to cry out for injustice!"
He Ying didn't believe her words and shouted coldly: "Ms. Qu, you are lucky. I just promised her not to implicate innocent people. Therefore, I will give you a chance. As long as you admit your crime, I will not pursue your mother's clan!"
"It's not me! It's really not me! Your Majesty is aware of this!"
Qu Xueli was panicked and frightened, her eyes were red with anxiety, and she didn't pay attention to her words. She said everything: "I am indeed jealous of Sang Yan, but I have never thought of harming her. Really. Just believe me. Just
That time you took her through the imperial garden, I even went to complain to her in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said, it is a good thing for our concubines that you do not hate Sang. As long as you eat meat for her, she will be happy, and we will have a good life.
Then I came. I was in a state of enlightenment at that time. I am still waiting for the rain and dew to come out and give birth to an heir for the emperor. How could I possibly harm her?"
Sang Yan: "..."
Did the Queen Mother think so?
I really think highly of her!
And - are these words allowed to be said?
Qu Xueli said all these things. If true, it seems that there is indeed no motive for the murder.
So, besides her, who would want to harm her?
"Full of filthy words!"
He Ying shouted angrily, stood up, his face was livid, and he was filled with murderous intent: "Do you think I will believe you if you say this? Mrs. Qu, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. Someone -"
Sang Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Does Your Majesty want to learn the tactics of Shen Xing and Si Qu?"
He Ying: "..."
He paused for a moment, sat back, held his forehead and said, "I'm so angry that I'm dizzy! Listen to what she said? Shameless!"
I also opened meat, is that fun?
Although Sang Yan also thought of him that way, it is a sin for others to think of him that way!
Such a double standard!
Sang Yan didn't think there was anything to be angry about, even if she was angry, she should be angry.
She was regarded as his appetizer!
I don’t know why they were laughing at her behind her back!
Even though I feel unhappy, I'll stick to it.
Sang Yan was still reasonable and looked at Li Fei and said, "If you didn't harm me, how dare you swear?"
Ancient people were very superstitious and would not swear easily.
And when she was a child, she did see people swearing poisonous words, which made her very unlucky.
One of her neighbors lost 500 yuan. The aunt who went to the neighbor's house to visit her said that she didn't take it, and swore that if she took the money, she would let her go downstairs and break her leg, and then go upstairs and knock her.
Lost a tooth. As a result, within three days, I actually broke my leg while going downstairs. When I was taking him to the hospital, I had to go up the stairs for a checkup. Fortunately, I couldn’t lift it properly, so I fell down and knocked out two teeth.
In short, even modern people should not swear easily.
"I dare!"
Qu Xueli raised her hand and swore: "I, Qu Xueli, hereby swear that if I do anything to hurt you, Sang Yan, I will die badly!"
"How can I not die a good death?"
Sang Yan was not satisfied with this oath, so she told her: "You have to tell her the way of death in more detail. The more detailed the oath, the clearer God can hear it. Oh, by the way, you also have to tell her your birth date.
, so that God can find you accurately."
She believed it, and no one dared to swear it.
Qu Xueli did indeed have a look of fear on her face, but she still slowly raised her hand, told her birth date, and even swore that she would be "red-faced and white-haired, be riddled with illness, and live in poverty for the rest of her life."
Sang Yan said nothing more this time.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qu Xueli thought she didn't believe it. She was scared and wronged, so she cried anxiously: "I really haven't done it. Sang Yan, believe me, I really haven't! It's not me!"
Sang Yan believed her.
She actually felt that it was not her from the very beginning.
"Your Majesty, let's check again."
"...You just believe her?"
He Ying frowned, feeling that the development of the matter was a bit funny - couldn't it be that she was soft-hearted and wanted to save Concubine Li?
Sang Yan was really either soft-hearted or subconsciously felt that Li Fei was innocent.
And she wanted to trust her instincts.
However, you definitely can't let people go based on your intuition.
She thought for a while and came up with an idea: "I heard that the emperor went to the temple to pray for me. Since he prayed for me, he should believe in the gods and Buddhas. Why does Concubine Li swear now, but the emperor doesn't believe it again? Your Majesty, your heart is sincere.
ah."
He Ying: "..."
He was speechless.
"Your Majesty, Master Sang——"
Wang Lishuo watched the trial from the side. Seeing that the emperor seemed to be convinced, he hurriedly said: "We must not assume that Concubine Li is innocent just because she swore an oath. Otherwise, whoever commits a crime in the future will have to swear an oath. Where is the law?"
This makes sense.
Sang Yan also agreed, nodded and said: "Master Wang is right. It is true that you cannot ignore the law just because of an oath, but if the law is maintained through beatings, what's the point?"
She thought about the more than 20 lives lost in his hands, and doubted his official character, and her voice became sharp: "I wonder what Mr. Wang has to say? What do you want to do with Concubine Li?"
