Chapter 175

Xue Huaiyuan, who was demoted as a commoner by Princess Yongning, was Xue Fangfei's father and Xue Zhao was Xue Fangfei's brother. The Xue family had an accident one after another. If it weren't for the second miss of the Jiang family who learned about it when she returned to Xiangyang, she saved Xue Huaiyuan conveniently. I'm afraid that none of the three members of the Xue family now remained, and there would be no Xue family in the world. In just a year and a half, the Xue family was so unlucky that if there was no one behind it, no one would believe it. Not to mention the result of this case, as soon as Xue Huaiyuan's lawsuit came out, people in Yanjing city suddenly became clear. After the interests were clear, things almost became clear.

This clearly means that Shen Zhuangyuan wants to marry the princess as his son-in-law, but the original match is beautiful and virtuous, and he can't choose anything wrong to divorce his wife. Simply don't do it twice, directly killing the original match and her belly, even the old father and brother of the original match's family, which is extremely cruel.

People can't help thinking of Xue Fangfei, the talented woman who once made the capital beautiful.

Now think about it, that beautiful and gentle Mrs. Shen is also one of the best in Yanjing city in talent and academic character. All the ladies she has been in contact with feel like a spring breeze. Shen Zhuangyuan didn't want to leave such a nice wife and go to please Princess Yongning. It can be seen that he is also very greedy for power. Not only that, one day the husband and wife hundred days of grace, he was able to hurt his wife, how heartless.

For a time, the city of Yanjing was full of voices scolding Princess Yongning and shenyurong's adulterer and adulteress. But I don't know whether these people who scold vigorously now also scolded Xue Fangfei hard in those years.

Because this case is of great importance. If convicted, it is to murder the family members of officials. Although the sentence that the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime with the common people is useless most of the time, it is very easy to use in beating a drowning dog. Princess Yongning is no longer a princess, and Shen Yurong is no longer a courtier. Of course, Emperor Hong Xiaodi didn't mind "severely punishing" them again. The popular sentiment is a very subtle thing. The people's scolding and disgust for Princess Yongning at the moment will naturally flow a part to King Cheng, which is also very detrimental to his future actions.

And Emperor Hong Xiaodi can just go deeper into the hearts of the people and let the people of Beiyan see clearly that he is a just and clear emperor.

For both public and private purposes, Emperor Hong Xiaodi will not have reservations about Princess Yongning in this case. Even if Princess Liu came to intercede with tears and King Cheng made a side talk, Emperor Hong Xiaodi only asked Duke Su to deal with it, and they all disappeared.

The case was jointly tried by the three divisions of the Dali temple, the Ministry of punishment and the metropolitan court.

Xiaodeyin was also very shocked when she learned the news. These days, she has stayed in the house without going out. She was very happy to hear that Princess Yongning and the Li family had collapsed. When she heard that Princess Yongning was demoted to a commoner, she was even happier. But it's not foolproof. Feng Shui turns around in turn. Now Princess Yongning is out of power, but if one day she makes a comeback, she will still be in danger.

At this time, Xue Huaiyuan's lawsuit was like a timely rain, which brought Xiao Deyin's heart to life. If Xue Huaiyuan sues successfully, Princess Yongning will die according to Beiyan's law. In this way, no one knows what she did at the beginning, and Princess Yongning is even more unlikely to kill her mouth, so she can really relax.

Xiao Deyin just didn't expect that Xue Huaiyuan, who had long been said to be a lunatic, would wake up, and the person who came forward was Xue Huaiyuan. She originally thought that Jiang Li had to come forward, but who knew that Jiang Li didn't make a sound at all.

But it doesn't matter. Xue Huaiyuan doesn't know himself. Whoever sues, whether it's Xue Huaiyuan or Jiang Li, can do it. She will be one of the witnesses. On the road from Princess Yongning to hell, push her more and let her go quickly.

Xiao Deyin laughed and fiddled with the Guqin in front of her, sweeping away the haze that had been going on for days.

……

When Yanjing city was in chaos because of Xue Huaiyuan's injustice, the princess mansion was also sealed. At night, the bodyguard who sealed the house stood at the door of the princess's house and dozed off. All the gold and silver treasures in the house were sorted out, and the servants were sent away. This was just an empty house. The princess's mansion, which was originally bustling and magnificent, was deserted in an instant, which made people sigh.

But the officials who were responsible for checking the princess mansion did not have the slightest emotion. It's really because the treasure in the princess's mansion is eye popping. It is reasonable to say that although Princess Yongning is a princess, the silver is naturally no less than others. But it's even richer than the first-class minister, which is somewhat intriguing. If a princess is like this, how about becoming king? What about the people behind Cheng Wang? Does it mean that Cheng Wang's silver may be more than that in the Treasury.

Some people are jealous of money, while others regard money as dirt. For example, Wen Ji and Zhao Ke, who were so carved on the eaves of the princess's house, had been squatting waiting for the bodyguard at the door to get drunk.

Although the bodyguard can accomplish some things without getting drunk, it needs to be troublesome. Being able to solve things easily without being discovered is, of course, the only thing that can be done by smart people in their government.

There are also some people in black on the eaves on all sides, all of whom are from the government, waiting to meet here. Zhao Ke said, "here we are."

At the same time, the two bodyguards at the door fell askew on the doorframe with a "Dong" sound, and fell asleep with the wine jar in their arms.

I don't blame these bodyguards for their dereliction of duty. It's because the princess mansion has been emptied. Since it has been emptied, no one will come again.

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji looked at each other and hurried along the eaves. When they reached the courtyard, they turned over and jumped down and fell on the ground of the courtyard. There, Ji Hong had already stood waiting for them.

He finally stopped wearing gorgeous clothes. His night clothes looked simple and neat, but his face was not so ordinary again. He went to the innermost room, which was a teahouse, with only a low table, on which even the teapot and cup were taken away, leaving nothing behind.

Ji Xuan walked around the room, reached out and stroked the wall one by one, and paused when she reached a place. Press it in hard, only to hear a slight "click", and the brick sank. Then, the whole wall began to move slowly, so that it changed its face and exposed a door.

Ji Heng took the lead in, followed by Wen Ji and Zhao Ke.

It's a long secret road. There are torches along the way. The lamp tube of the torch is also extremely gorgeous, which is like an underground palace. There was still a faint sound of water inside, until you came to the end of the secret Road, the space suddenly opened, and the whole secret room appeared in front of you.

This is a private prison, because there are prisons surrounded by iron fences everywhere. Just looking at it, I seem to have come to the prison of the Ministry of punishment. But even the prison of the Ministry of punishment may not be cruel at present. There is blood everywhere on the ground, and there is a smell of putrefaction. Even some figures behind the iron fence did not move, apparently dead for a long time. But no one cleaned them out, and they slowly turned into a puddle of mud here. Even the closest people saw them, I'm afraid they couldn't recognize them.

There were bloody hooks on the wall, and red soldering irons were thrown on the ground at random. Rats in the water prison squeaked and chewed with relish holding a mass of bloody things. Whip with salt water, Trojan horse with thorns, silver needle with medicine, everything. Rao Shiwen Ji and Zhao Ke, such knowledgeable bodyguards, could not help but feel a little disgusted at everything in front of them. They are bodyguards. It's OK to see these on weekdays. But Princess Yongning is a princess. It seems that there are no people with deep hatred on weekdays, but she wants to torture them by such means.

"Look for Jiang Youyao." Ji Heng said, "if you are sober, take it out and throw it at the door of Jiang's house. If you are not sober, feed situ's medicine to her and don't let her die."

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji took command. It is not easy to find Jiang Youyao among so many dead and half dead people. Everyone here is dark and smelly. I can't tell for a while. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji went to find someone, while Ji Heng walked slowly in the prison.

Their faces moved slightly, and they were not afraid of being recognized at a glance. But these people behind the iron fence, in addition to the dead, fainted, the rest of the living, or have been tortured and lost their senses, dancing in it. Either he hasn't lost his mind, but he has lost his vitality. Even if Ji Heng walked by, he just looked at it blankly and didn't say a word, like a fool who didn't know how to ask for help.

In such an environment for a long time, coupled with the torture of Princess Yongning, these people have long since given up hope. If we say what we hope most is that someone can give them a knife and let them end the pain of having no confidantes as soon as possible.

Ji Heng walked casually along the prison. In this infernal scene, his expression was still calm, as if he were still walking in the banquet of the time, unaffected.

Until I came to a prison.

The man seemed to have heard the sound long ago and crawled out bit by bit along the inside. It's "Climbing" because there are two clear bloodstains from the depths of the prison to the front of the iron fence. He doesn't know what's wrong with his knees, and the blood has solidified. The whole person knelt on the ground, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the blood pool, and he couldn't distinguish his face.

This man is the only one in the private prison of Princess mansion who is moving and looks like a living person. Although his appearance is very terrible, his eyes are very clear and stubborn. He pulled the fence with both hands, and even his hands were full of scars. Across the fence, he wanted to pull Ji Chen's boots, but he seemed to be afraid of blood stains on his hands, so he stopped in front of Ji Chen's boots.

Ji Heng lowered his head and was meeting the man's eyes.

The man's face was full of scars and blood stains, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but his eyes were not stained with a little mud. He even tried to squeeze a smile out of Ji Heng, even though the smile was terrible in the gloomy private prison.

Wen Ji has found Jiang Youyao at the other end. Zhao Ke just came over and saw Ji Hong stop in front of a strange prisoner. Zhao Ke asked, "my Lord, this man...?"

The man laboriously opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but I don't know whether it was because he was given dumb medicine, or because his voice couldn't make a sound for the time being, and no sound came out. But I can still see his mouth clearly, and his words are about four words.

He said: please, help me.

"Take him back." Ji Xuan said, "see if situ can cure it."

"Hey?" Zhao Ke is a little strange. Ji Heng has never been a kind-hearted person, and it is impossible for him to help when he sees injustice. The people in this private prison are all the enemies of Princess Yongning, and have nothing to do with Ji Heng. I came here today just for what Miss Jiang Er asked me to find Jiang Youyao. As for others, it is needless to say that the people in the government have no sympathy, because even if these people are saved, they are mostly useless. For these people, the best relief is to die.

"Cured, I'll be your companion." Ji Tao.

Zhao Ke said: "... My Lord, I'm afraid this man's legs are useless."

They are all people who practice martial arts. Zhao Ke could see at a glance that his legs had been broken long ago. After a long time, it's impossible to cure it. Even after being rescued, I'm afraid I can't be a bodyguard in the government.

"It doesn't matter." Ji Heng said, "just be useful."

The man covered with blood immediately showed his gratitude. At present, the only way to distinguish his expression is from a pair of eyes. Fortunately, his eyes are naturally able to talk. Zhao Ke looked at it and suddenly felt that this person's eyes were somewhat familiar, which was somewhat similar to the second miss of the Jiang family. Gentle and calm, in the dark, dirty private prison, like the sun lit up this hell.

"He looks different from others." Zhao Ke said, "I don't know where I offended Princess Yongning and ended up in such a situation."

"Go back and check his details." Ji Heng finished and looked at the other end. Wen Ji was coming from behind. Wen Ji said, "master, Jiang Youyao has found it, but it seems that she is confused. For the time being, she can't. according to the master's order, she was fed with Miss situ's medicine, and she doesn't have to die in a few days."

Zhao Ke said to Wen Ji, "give me a hand, adults let me save this man."

Wen Ji heard the speech, and there was also a trace of surprise on his face, but he still didn't say anything and fished the man out of the prison. When he fished it out, he found that one corner of his clothes was actually white. He was not wearing a reddish brown dress, but a white one, all soaked with blood.

But not dead?

It's not that I've never seen a man with a strong will, but it's amazing that he can't die after so much blood. Ji Xuan glanced at the man, thought for a while, and said, "Princess Yongning did it, deliberately leaving him alive and torturing him slowly."

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji understood that Princess Yongning was afraid of this person's death, and died too easily, so she deliberately or sent medicine to hang this person's breath, so that this person would not lose his life, and slowly tortured.

"But he seems quite sober," Zhao Ke said. "It's not easy. Ordinary people have been tortured for such a long time. They have long been crazy, or their hearts are dead. He's still very alive. Even now he can't talk or move. Tut, if his legs aren't broken, he looks like a good seedling."

The man's eyes darkened when he heard the speech, but soon disappeared. Ji Heng looked in his eyes and thought.

"I don't know how he offended Princess Yongning," Zhao Ke whispered as he carried the bloody man on his body. The man was probably hungry like a piece of paper. Zhao Ke didn't feel heavy carrying it, and said, "it's a pity."

The three men went out of the private prison of the princess mansion. When they went out, Ji Xuan and Zhao Ke went first. After the two men left, Wen Ji squatted outside the teahouse in front of the private prison and lit a cigarette bamboo.

"Peng" made a loud noise, which was particularly loud in Yanjing city late at night. Two drunken bodyguards at the door were awakened, jumped up, shouted "what's going on", and rushed to the teahouse.

Wen Ji's figure disappeared in the night.

……

At the other end, Zhao Ke, who was ordered by Ji Heng, rushed back, put the blood man on his shoulder outside situ's refining pharmacy in September, and shouted, "Miss situ, Miss situ!"

The door was "snapped" open, and situ September appeared at the door, impatiently saying, "what's the matter?"

"My Lord saved someone from outside. I don't know if it can be cured. If Miss situ is OK, please come and have a look." Zhao Ke wiped his sweat. Ji Heng didn't return to the government after coming out of the princess's house. He was about to do his own business. Zhao Ke didn't dare to ask. However, the man on his back did not dare to neglect. This was the man saved by Ji Heng himself. He couldn't deal with it casually.

"Ji Hong saves people?" Situ Jiuxiu frowned slightly and said, "what joke are you talking about?"

"It's true." Zhao Ke was afraid that situ would die in September. Miss situ was extremely willful. If she couldn't see it, she dared to disobey the emperor's order. Only Ji Heng's words made her barely listen. Zhao Ke said, "September girl, this man was seriously injured, and adults don't know whether he can be saved. But this man is very interesting. You can see it first, and then decide whether to save it."

"I said I'm not a doctor." Situ September was unhappy, but he still leaned over to the door and motioned Zhao Ke to carry it in.

The four words "very interesting" attracted her. Where are so many interesting people in the world? If you meet them, of course, you should save them, because this is also an interesting thing.

Zhao Ke carried the man in and laid him flat on a small bed in the refining pharmacy that only allowed one person to sleep. Situ came forward in September and saw that the man was still conscious, but he couldn't move and smiled at her.

Situ September was stunned.

She has seen many faces in her life, such as gratitude and fear when she was a doctor, and disgust and hatred when she was a poison doctor. No matter which face is saved or destroyed, it will not be so calm. People can't take it calmly in the face of extremely important things related to themselves.

But this person can still smile at her, calm, calm, and even a genial smile. It reminds people of the sunshine in March, precious and beautiful.

"Who is he?" Situ Jiujiu asked.

"I don't know. The adult asked me to check the details of this person," Zhao Ke didn't hide it from situ Jiujiu, "it was the person found in Princess Yongning's private prison."

"Princess Yongning?" Situ Jiujiu raised his eyebrows. "Is it her again? Ji Heng, this is to help Jiang Li."

Zhao Ke scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. What can he say about the master? Just smile.

Situ in September stretched out his hand to lift the man's clothes. His clothes were almost connected with the skin and flesh. When he lifted them, he made a sound of separation.

The person on the bed shivered, as if in great pain, but he still resisted.

Zhao Ke took a breath.

The man's whole body was covered with scars, and there was no intact place. About Princess Yongning can use all the punishments that can be used on him.

"Miss situ," Zhao Ke looked at him and felt sorry. He asked, "this man was hurt a little badly... I think his leg seems to be broken. Can he recover?"

Situ Jiu glanced at the man's knee and said, "impossible."
