Chapter 179

The case of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao is a huge one after many years. However, the result of the joint trial of the third division is much smoother than expected.

It's because the evidence Xue Huaiyuan can bring out is too rich. Several people in the Dali Temple of Fu Dao were surprised that Xue Huaiyuan could find so many useful clues after only a few months of soberness. It was as if someone had begun to investigate the case of Xue Fangfei's sister and brother long before this.

The emergence of Jiang Yuanbai made the settlement of this case very smooth. There is no doubt that Shoufu's daughter was found in Princess Yongning's private prison. Princess Xue Fangfei and Yongning will argue a few words, but there is no excuse for Jiang Youyao.

Set up private prisons in the house, murder official relatives, collude with current officials to kill people, manipulate officialdom... One by one, the inventory shows that Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong are undeniable, should be sentenced to death, and be interrogated and beheaded three days later.

When hearing the result, all those who knew it felt very happy.

Jing Zhaoyin, as a member of Xue Zhao who helped the tyrant and killed him, was naturally punished, deprived of his official position and exiled for life. And Xiao Deyin was even more serious. Although she didn't directly kill Xue Fangfei, she handed over the glass of wine mixed with medicine and was ordered to fifty boards in the matter of Xue Fangfei being framed. She's a woman. She doesn't know if she's still alive. I think I'm alive, and I'm dying. I can't live for a few years.

Of course, for Xiao Deyin, how many boards to play and how many years to live are not the most important. What tormented her most was how many people in the world would scold her behind her back for being malicious and pretending after the news about her and Xue Fangfei was spread. Xiao Deyin was tired of fame. She pretended all her life. When it came to her, her reputation was ruined. For her, living was meaningless.

After the joint trial of the third division, the officers and soldiers took Princess Yongning and shenyurong to prison. Xue Huaiyuan sat quietly. It seemed that he was instantly drained of all his strength and did not move.

Jiang Yuanbai stood up and couldn't help looking at Xue Huaiyuan more. His biological daughter Jiang Li took better care of Xue Huaiyuan than her father. Jiang Yuanbai was originally very unhappy, but after seeing Xue Huaiyuan, he also felt that Xue Huaiyuan was more calm and capable than he imagined.

He didn't say hello to Xue Huaiyuan and took the lead to go out. Princess Yongning ended up like this. It is reasonable to say that Jiang Yuanbai also helped Jiang Youyao get revenge. But Jiang Yuanbai was not happy about it at all. Jiang Youyao's life had been ruined, and it was impossible to return to the past. The past was the past.

Haitang came to help Xue Huaiyuan and walked outside. I walked to the gate outside the Ministry of punishment and was stunned by the scene outside. The people of Yanjing City blocked the gate outside. Seeing them coming out, they shouted "Xue Xiancheng".

In a short time, the story on the court was spread. Naturally, people also know how Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong framed Xue Fangfei to have an affair with others, which caused Xue Fangfei to miscarry. Later, they used drugs and even strangled the poor woman. Not only that, they also killed Xue Fangfei's legitimate son, a genial boy like sunshine, and tried to kill Xue Huaiyuan. Had it not been for the wrong circumstances, Miss Jiang Er had gone to Tongxiang and the Xue family had disappeared from the world, and no one would have known their grievances.

People are sympathetic. They may not be very smart and easy to be fooled, but there are also many kind-hearted people. Their innate goodness makes them used to hating evil and sympathizing with the weak. The Xue family immediately became the object of sympathy, and there were abuse against Princess Yongning and shenyurong everywhere.

Ye Shijie and ye Mingyu meet Xue Huaiyuan outside. Xue Huaiyuan gets on the carriage. As soon as he gets on the carriage, he finds that Jiang Li is also there. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Jiang."

"Xue Xiancheng." Jiang Li smiled slightly.

Jiang Li went to Ye's house early in the morning, and drove to the gate of the Ministry of punishment with Ye Shijie. They couldn't get in, but waited for the final result like the people outside. Until the moment before hearing the result, Jiang Li's heart was firmly pulled up, not as calm as she seemed on the surface.

On this day, she waited too long.

Xue Huaiyuan found that Jiang Li's canthus seemed a little glittering and translucent, and she seemed to have cried. But Xue Huaiyuan still didn't understand that Jiang Li was almost a benefactor to the Xue family. But many strangers saw others struggling in the fire and water and stretched out a hand to rescue, perhaps because of kindness, perhaps because of something else, but sister Jiang Li naturally showed that it was her responsibility.

Why? She is the second young lady of the Jiang family, and originally she had nothing to do with the Xue family.

Xue Huaiyuan said, "before, Miss Jiang said that one day she would tell me why she would lend a helping hand to the Xue family. Now, the wicked have been punished. Is that the time?"

His tone was very gentle, like a serious inquiry. Jiang Li gave a meal, and suddenly a sad feeling came into his heart. Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong did not upgrade this time. The real murderer of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao's death was finally revealed to the world. After searching for justice for so long, it has not disappeared, but this justice may be repaid with life, which is not easy.

She can't tell her father the truth yet because her future is uncertain.

"Now is not the time." Jiang Li swallowed the sadness in her stomach and said, "but there is one thing that Xue Xiancheng may want to know."

"What's the matter?" Xue Huaiyuan asked.

"About Xue Zhao's tomb." Jiang Li said, "when Xue Zhao had an accident, Haitang had been expelled from the Shen family, so I didn't know where Xue Zhao was buried. And because at that time, when Xue Fangfei was being discussed, Xue Zhao's afterlife was very secret, and others didn't know where he was buried. I had someone inquire about the place." She looked at Xue Huaiyuan. "Now that the murderer has been exposed to the world, Xue Xiancheng can tell Xue Zhao the good news. As for whether to let Xue Zhao return to his hometown, it all depends on Xue Xiancheng's own idea."

Jiang Li wants Xue Zhao's soul to return to his hometown, not in Yanjing, a place no one knows. Besides myself, there is no one who worships burning paper money. It's so cold. Father already knew the news of Xue Zhao's death... It should be gradually.

"OK, thank you for your trouble, Miss Jiang." Xue Huai was far away, and there was an imperceptible shiver in his voice, "ah Zhao must be very happy, very happy to know this."

Jiang Li turned his head.

Are you happy? She was only deeply sad and helpless.

……

The decision about Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong spread all over Yanjing.

The people are applauding. If anyone is angry about this, only princess Liu and King Cheng in the palace.

Princess Liu had already cried red eyes. At such an old age, she always ordered others with pride. When she was so embarrassed, she pulled Cheng Wang's sleeve and said, "Ying'er, you go to help Yongning, you save your sister, your sister can't die like this!"

At first, when she learned that Xue Huaiyuan had sued Princess Yongning, Princess Liu had not paid attention to it. Even if Princess Yongning was demoted to a commoner, Xue Huaiyuan was nothing. It's easier to crush Xue Huaiyuan than to crush an ant. Moreover, those evidences, who knows whether they are true or false, can be suppressed by casually giving a few orders to the officials at the bottom. The only thing to consider is the gossip of the people, but those are not without solutions.

Who knows that Jiang Yuanbai was also involved, and Princess Yongning set up a private prison in the house, which Cheng Wang and Princess Liu did not know. When they learned that Princess Yongning had imprisoned Jiang Yuanbai's daughter Jiang Youyao in her private prison, Princess Liu almost fainted and immediately knew that the matter was bad.

It's about the head of the court, and the case can't be suppressed anyway. Sure enough, everything came quickly and caught people off guard. Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were soon arrested. Emperor Hong Xiaodi personally ordered the third division to conduct a joint trial and thoroughly investigate the case.

On weekdays, the interests of emperor Hong Xiao were not touched, and the weak emperor turned a blind eye. Everyone knows that the relationship between them has become increasingly tense over the years. Now that this case has been sent to Emperor Hong Xiao, Emperor Hong Xiao certainly doesn't mind being an image of Ming Jun who "destroys relatives in great righteousness, is fair and clear". And Jiang Yuanbai will certainly not spare no effort to help make Princess Yongning have no place to turn over again.

Princess Liu tried to beg the empress dowager, but after hearing it, the Empress Dowager just said a faint "can't help", so she sent Princess Liu away, and let Princess Liu dry her tongue, the Empress Dowager still looked like neither salty nor light. Princess Liu had to turn to ask emperor Hong Xiaodi. Who knew that emperor Hong Xiaodi was more cruel than the empress dowager, and Princess Liu couldn't see emperor Hong Xiaodi at all.

Seeing that Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were about to be interrogated and beheaded, Princess Liu finally realized that this time, no one could really save her daughter. She can only cry with King Cheng.

"Don't cry, mother," said Cheng Wang, upset by Princess Liu's crying, "it's not that I don't want to save Yongning, but that no one can save her now! Yongning is too brave to set up a private prison in the house and imprison Jiang Youyao. If she offended Jiang Yuanbai, Jiang Yuanbai will naturally be unwilling to spare her life. How can she be let go of her life? If Yongning was a little afraid at the beginning, she wouldn't have become what she is now!"

Princess Liu angrily said, "how can you say that about your sister?" After saying this, he began to cry, "I have already said that Shen Yurong is not a good match or a good thing. Your sister is just dragged down by that Shen Yurong! And you, you knew what kind of person Shen Yurong is. How can you not stop your sister from seeing that person! You are also responsible for your sister's situation!"

"Enough!" Cheng Wang shouted loudly. Now he is also upset. At the critical moment when the matter was about to be raised, there was no room for mistakes. It happened that Yongning was so slow behind him. First, he broke with the Li family, causing Li Xian to resign, and Li Zhongnan had a different heart for himself. His relationship with Shen Yurong became clear to the world. Shen Yurong also resigned, and he lost a helping hand. Now it's better. The Jiang family is eyeing themselves. Yongning's reputation is ruined, and even he is implicated. Having such a sister, Cheng Wang is really unlucky.

Princess Liu was so yelled by King Cheng that she stopped crying at once. She seemed to wake up. She looked at King Cheng and said in despair, "Ying'er, is there really no way to save Yongning?"

King Cheng looked at Princess Liu and couldn't bear it. Finally, he said, "there's nothing that the mother Princess and her ministers can do. However," he changed his words, "the emperor has done too much. I don't think it's a way to delay it any longer. It's better to push the time forward. When I enter the palace and sit in a high position, how those people humiliated Yongning at the beginning, I need to get it back for Yongning one by one, and then... Yongning will be able to close his eyes."

His voice echoed in the empty bedroom. It was gloomy. Princess Liu looked at him and stayed for a moment, as if she finally accepted her fate and reluctantly discarded a beloved object. She said, "OK."
