Chapter 19: What happened to the villain turning evil?
When Rong Yu saw Ye Chenming's expression, he knew that he had underestimated his enemy. People like Ye Chenyin would be difficult to deal with at a glance, and it was only a matter of time before such a fool like him could make a mistake.
It will definitely be a big failure.
"Father, the assassins from Luosha Hall have done all kinds of evil things and killed many officials of my court. They must not be let off easily." This opportunity is rare. If we miss it, it will be extremely difficult to find another opportunity. We must make this matter a reality no matter what.
Ye Chenyin glanced at him coldly, implying that his father would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go. Emperors have always been suspicious, let alone someone who is related to Luosha Hall.
Ye Chenming's words meant that no matter who Rong Yu was, he must die.
"Rakshasa Hall is known for its brutality. With this reputation, they are despised by the world. Even if they don't die, they can't rest in peace." Ye Chenyuan said sternly to Ye Chenming. He turned and knelt down to say to Emperor Gan: "Father, Rong Yu is my savior. Even if he can't be remembered forever, at least he can't be a criminal. Please investigate carefully and give him a clean name."
These seemingly fair words made Emperor Gan suppress his urge to kill Rong Yu with a single blow.
I can ignore whether Rong Yu is a murderer with many crimes, but I cannot ignore my reputation of killing innocent people: "Prince Xiang, do you have any evidence to prove that he is the murderer? You both have your own reasons, and I have no way to distinguish them."
"This dog emperor won't let them get up."
After kneeling for a while, Rong Yu's knees began to hurt, but Ye Chenyin was kneeling in front of him, still straight, so he knew that this was his normal state. He had been kneeling for so long and Emperor Gan had no intention of letting him get up.
Only then did I understand the difficult path he was on and why he wrapped himself up so tightly.
Rong reached out and calmly took Ye Chenyin's hand, but as soon as he touched it, he was pulled and held tightly in his hand.
The warm palm was like a soothing agent, and my heart suddenly calmed down.
The people present seemed to be close relatives, but each of them had their own ulterior motives, and all of them were trying to exclude him.
Although Ye Chenyuan stood with him, it was because Rong Yu had saved him. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have said a word.
"In this environment, not becoming an evil sword immortal is already quite good. What's the big deal about turning evil?"
"Zao Zao also felt that he was the most pitiful person here."
"Blood Swallow Seal," Ye Chenming said suddenly.
Ye Chenyin's heart tightened, but his face remained calm, with worry in his eyes. He turned his head slightly to glance at Rongyu.
Rong Yu smiled at him and told him not to worry.
Ye Chenyin used a little more strength in his handshake.
"I was branded with this mark on the first day I entered the Rakshasa Hall. Father, I only found out about this after asking around. You can see if there's this mark on Rongyu's right shoulder."
"Damn it, if Emperor Gan dares to kill me, I will definitely drag Ye Chenming down with him."
"Yan Shang." Emperor Gan gestured to Eunuch Yan to go and take a look.
"Father," Ye Chenyin was about to speak, but Ye Chenyuan interrupted him: "Rongyu's injuries have not healed yet, and the blood is still wet. It is not appropriate to reveal it in front of your father. How about I take him outside to see it?"
Eunuch Yan looked at Emperor Gan, waiting for him to speak. Ye Chenming wanted to speak, but Emperor Gan raised his hand to stop him: "It's okay, go and see."
Eunuch Yan walked towards Rongyu step by step. Ye Chenyin's heart felt like it was being pulled up, and he forgot to breathe. He clenched his fists solemnly. If he really wanted to kill Rongyu, then he would give up his status as a prince and take him out to kill him.
Everyone watched Eunuch Yan's hand movements as he peeled off Rongyu's clothes on her right shoulder layer by layer.
The right shoulder was wrapped in white gauze, with red blood stains on it.
Ye Chenyin gritted his teeth and looked at Rongyu. Their eyes met. Rongyu forced a smile, but it was so forced.
Eunuch Yan couldn't bear it: "Forgive me."
When the gauze was pulled away, what came into view were two shocking scars that had not yet healed. There were no blood swallow marks as Ye Chenming mentioned, but two sword wounds.
However, the two sword wounds were so deep that they looked like dagger wounds upon closer inspection. The right shoulder was completely disfigured.
Eunuch Yan was so frightened that he took a step back, his face pale with horror.
"Your Majesty, there are no marks, only severe scars that are still bleeding."
Eunuch Yan walked up to Emperor Gan and answered truthfully.
Ye Chenyin and Ye Chenyuan were equally shocked when they saw the wound.
Ye Chenyuan remembered that he was injured in the abdomen. After the court session yesterday, he specially sent someone to the Prince Jing's Mansion to inquire. He was told that the wound had scabbed over and he would be fine as long as he took good care of it. The injury he got today was probably a self-inflicted injury in an attempt to conceal the truth.
Ye Chenyin's eyes were filled with heartache and self-blame, but most of all, it was hatred. He hated this unfair world, hated the distinction between different classes, and hated that he had no power to protect him, causing him to fall into the whirlpool again.
The nails dug into the flesh, and the stinging pain only reminded me of the humiliation I suffered today.
Ye Chenming didn't believe it, so he stepped forward and ripped open Rongyu's clothes, pulling the wound. Rongyu hissed and fell to the ground.
Damn it, I'll finish you sooner or later.
Ye Chenyin pushed him away, and Ye Chenming staggered and fell to the ground.
Ye Chenyin helped Rongyu up and let him lean on his arms. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Have you seen the Blood Swallow Seal?"
Ye Chenming didn't believe it: "Impossible, he clearly..."
"He clearly did what?" Ye Chenming almost revealed his true identity in his panic, and Ye Chenyuan hurriedly questioned him.
Ye Chenming came back to his senses: "It was obviously him who removed the mark to confuse people."
Ye Chenyuan ignored him and said to Emperor Gan, "Father, the wounds on Rongyu's shoulders were caused by one sword strike while saving me, and the other was in revenge. The depth of the two wounds shows that the opponent intended to kill him. If he is truly a member of Luosha Hall, how could he not know his skills? He risked his life to save me, but instead of achieving anything, he is guilty. I cannot understand this. Please enlighten me, Father."
Emperor Gan's face turned pale and he glared at Ye Chenming. This incident not only embarrassed this waste, but also almost embarrassed him as the emperor. He dared to embarrass himself in front of him without any evidence.
"Father, I am not lying. He is really from Luosha Hall. I have investigated it clearly." Ye Chenming still did not give up and hoped that Emperor Gan would believe him.
"The Huaijiang prefect was also killed by the Rakshasa Hall assassin a few days ago. Why not compare the wounds to see if they were inflicted by the same person?"
Ye Chenyin glared at Ye Chenming and almost finished speaking with gritted teeth.
Li Luotian, the prefect of Huaijiang, died tragically at home for unknown reasons. He was killed by a sword and had no chance to resist.
It was obvious at a glance that it was the work of a master. During Li Luotian's tenure, there were widespread complaints and the people suffered terribly. When they heard about Li Luotian's death, they beat drums and gongs, set off firecrackers, and even patients who had been bedridden for many years suddenly recovered.
The matter was reported to the Censorate, and after investigation, it was discovered that Li Luotian had extorted money from the people and handed it over to the King of Xiang. The common people wrote hundreds of petitions, but all were intercepted by the governor. If Li Luotian had not died this time and caused such a big commotion, the court would not have known about it.
