In the dark dungeon, the sunlight shone in through the air holes, and dust floated in the light.
Xu Qi ‘an stood there for a long time. Then, he felt that he could not let Sir
Zheng continue like this, so he entered the cell and put him down.
The body was still warm, and it had been dead for a while.
The judge of the court of judicial review sat outside the cell, wailing.
Xu Qi ‘an wasn’t particularly sad. She just felt that it was a relief for him to leave just like that.
On the way back to the capital from Chu Zhou, he saw the scholar’s spine bend bit by bit, and his figure became more and more hunched.
He was too tired. Carrying the lives of 380000 people, he didn’t dare to let himself rest every day, because as long as he had time, that suffocating feeling would catch up to him.
why do you have to do this? you are just a weak civil servant who can’t do anything. Those 380000 people didn’t ask you to take revenge.
Xu Qi ‘an tidied up Zheng xinghuai’s face. He wanted to close his eyes, but he could not do it. His bulging eyes were still staring at the turbid world.
“You’ve been trying so hard to persuade her every day, but she always ignored you. “I wanted to tell you at that time,” the joys and sorrows of humans are not the same. They only think that you are noisy.”
“Lord Zheng, unlike you and me, none of the Dukes in the capital have experienced the Chu Zhou city massacre. They can’t be like you. There were disasters every year, and countless people starved or froze to death every year. Seeing it with one’s own eyes and seeing it in memorials were two different things.
“It was not easy to survive the massacre in Chuzhou and head straight to the capital. I thought that the Imperial court would give justice to the 380000 people and you, but I didn’t expect to pay with my life. Ha, a useless scholar, you’re right.
“I was able to risk my life for provincial governor Zhang that day, so I thought that I would risk my life for you this time as well. However, before I could find a way, you had already passed away. That’s good too, life is bitter, and you’ve really not lived a good life.”
After tidying up, Xu Qi ‘an stood up and took a few steps back. He bowed deeply to this pathetic and respectable scholar.
Outside the dungeon, a group of armored soldiers was gathered.
It wasn’t a big deal for the Supreme Court’s Deputy to bring outsiders into the Yamen, but the dungeon was an important place. Unless they had the written letters of the high officials, no one was allowed to enter the dungeon without permission.
Of course, the jailer had tried to stop him, but after being kicked away by Xu Qi
‘an, he didn’t dare to hit a stone with an egg and ran to report to the Chief Justice.
The official of the Supreme Court stood in front with his hands behind his back. Behind him were the guards of the Yamen.
His face was gloomy, and he waited for a full 15 minutes before Xu Qi ‘an came out. The young man was unexpectedly calm, and his face was neither happy nor sad.
Xu Qi ‘an, you have trespassed the Supreme Court’s prison. Even if I kill you on the spot, Wei Yuan will not say anything. The official of the Supreme Court struck first and shouted.
The young man with the knife ignored him and left.
This blade was originally meant to kill beasts, but it was too late. If anyone wanted to test its power, Xu Qi ‘an would not refuse.
“Your Excellency …” The guard Captain said in a low voice.
The official of the Supreme Court was about to order the guards to take the person when his sleeve was suddenly pulled. He turned his head and saw the official of the Supreme Court.
“Sir, you only have one life. Why don’t you cherish it?” the judge looked at him deeply.
The official of the Supreme Court was shocked, and the hair on his back stood on end.
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial study.
The country protecting Duke and Duke Cao returned to the palace to report.
“Your Majesty, Zheng xinghuai is dead. The case can be settled.” High Duke Cao said respectfully.
“How should we deal with the Lords?” Que Yongxiu was still a little worried.
The public could forgive the North vanquishing Prince because he had fallen.
Now, he had returned to the capital in one piece. Wei Yuan and chief advisor Wang would be the first to come after him.
I will send an Imperial Army to the Duke Hu’s mansion to protect you, ‘ Emperor yuanjing said. you don’t have to worry about being assassinated. In addition, the secret agents of the North vanquishing Prince who came back with you will temporarily be under your command and will remain in your High Duke’s public house.”
Only then did que Yongxiu heave a sigh of relief. Such a tight security was enough to ensure his safety, and he didn’t have to worry about being assassinated.
As for the glints of blades and shadows of swords in the Imperial court, he only needed to keep a low profile and not fight. With the emperor’s protection, even if Wei Yuan and the chief Assistant Wang were all powerful, they could forget about burning him.
After this period of time, his future was still bright.
Now that his worries had been resolved, que Yongxiu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He smiled sincerely and said,
“Your Majesty is wise and powerful. This series of actions easily shook the Civil officials. Then, while they were hesitating, he quickly cut the Gordian knot and made Zheng xinghuai commit suicide to escape punishment, not leaving any way out for the Dukes.
“This time, they can only pinch their noses and accept it.”
However, His Majesty had also made enough concessions to satisfy the appetites of some people. Otherwise, even his Majesty would not be able to support the situation alone.
Que Yongxiu was sincerely convinced by Emperor Yuan jing.
although the National Sword has been brought back to the capital by the diplomatic mission, the whereabouts of the mysterious master are unknown. If we can find him again and send troops to suppress him and avenge King Huai, this matter will be settled. High Duke Cao sighed.
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan jing’s face darkened. After a few seconds, he said slowly, ‘
“Hold a court meeting tomorrow to conclude the Chu Zhou case. Before that, get someone to spread the news of Zheng xinghuai’s suicide to escape punishment.”
“Yes!” High Duke Cao smiled.
The inner Pavilion.
After the small court meeting in the Imperial study ended, chief advisor Wang gathered the five scholars to discuss the follow-up of Zheng xinghuai’s
imprisonment..
