Chapter 389: Hell Under the Statue
Fu Qingyin would not give the prince a chance to quibble.
"What did the prince say? Is it your first time here?"
"Turn around and look. Behind you is your statue, and in front of it are incense sticks."
"Prince, some things cannot be explained away just by denying them."
This was said simply, directly and bluntly.
The prince's face turned pale with anger.
"Fu Qingyin! Who are you talking to? I am the crown prince of a country, who do you think you are? You are just a commander, how dare you."
Fu Qingyin chuckled: "I have always been very courageous, otherwise, I would not be standing here today."
"It is precisely because you are the crown prince of a country and will ascend the throne to become the emperor in the future, which affects the lifeblood of the court, the country, and the people. As your subjects, we should be even more cautious."
Fu Qingyin said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Does it mean that even if we see that the prince is not doing good and has bad conduct, we should turn a deaf ear to it and let it go?"
Prime Minister Lu stroked his beard and said, "What the commander said is indeed reasonable."
"However," he changed the subject, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken at will. Commander, do you have any other evidence?"
The prince immediately said, "What Prime Minister Lu said is absolutely right. Do you have any other evidence? These are too far-fetched."
It is indeed not very tenable. Yu Shengsheng thought, if the prince insisted that he just didn't know and that his subordinates did it behind his back, then that's not impossible.
She looked at Fu Qingyin. Now that things had come to this, Fu Qingyin would never let it go.
Fu Qingyin's lips curled up slightly, and his narrow eyes were sharp.
"Your Highness, what did you do here? Don't you know? Do you think I can't find any other evidence?"
"Someone come!"
Fu Qingyin gave an order, and Hei Bai led the Red Dragon Guards forward.
"Move the idol away."
Everyone heard it carefully and could not help but be surprised. They looked up at the statue, which was at least two people tall. How could it be moved with such a heavy weight?
Hei Bai walked forward and felt around, but didn't find any mechanism.
The prince sneered.
Hei Bai whistled outside: "Come in and take a look."
Everyone turned around and saw an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe but with not too long hair walked in.
Yu Shengsheng recognized this man. It was him who brought Hei Bai to the dark prison, broke the mechanism, and took her and Jin Hu out.
The old Taoist priest stepped forward and greeted Fu Qingyin.
Yu Shengsheng noticed that the prince's expression changed when he saw the Master.
"Prince, do you recognize this man?" Fu Qingyin said with a half-smile.
"What a joke! How could I know such a person?" The prince denied.
The old Taoist gnashed his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment: "I was originally a monk in the temple. Although my life was poor, I was happy and free. Because I knew some tricks, I was threatened by them. They changed this place into the Temple of the Heavenly Kings and forced me to grow my hair and pretend to be a Taoist."
"That would be fine, but they... after they made us finish the work, they killed more than half of the monks in our temple. I have been waiting for this day. If it weren't for revenge and redress for them, I would have wanted to die a long time ago."
The prince's face was solemn: "You have a grudge to take, what does it have to do with me?"
The old Taoist priest said angrily: "Don't think I don't know that you often come here secretly."
After he said that, he stepped forward and opened the mechanism. Everyone heard a loud rumbling sound, as if coming from underground, and they were all startled.
Afterwards, the statue was moved away. It turned out that the base was connected to the mechanism. When the base was moved, the statue was also moved aside.
A large dark room was revealed underneath, filled with women who were either lying unconscious or covered in wounds, and who looked up when they heard the sound.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince... spare my life..."
"Your Highness, I only ask for a quick death."
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
Yu Shengsheng also opened her eyes wide - why are these women here?
Or are they not the same group of women as the ones where she was imprisoned?
She was in a dark room at the time and saw those women, but she couldn't remember what they looked like.
It is not certain whether they are from the same batch.
Crying, begging for mercy, and wailing all mixed together, sobbing, like the cries of hell.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Fu Qingyin's eyebrows were full of icy coldness. She spoke sharply and swung her red sleeves: "Prince, are these people also slandering you?"
The prince's throat rolled and tears formed on his forehead.
What's going on? These people are clearly...
When questioned by Fu Qingyin, the prince could only grit his teeth and said, "Yes, it is slander!"
"I don't know them, and I've never seen them before. I don't know why they slandered me like this."
This sounds really shameless.
All the officials looked at him with changed expressions.
At this moment, a weak voice was heard.
"Grandfather, brother...Grandmother..."
Lu Xingzhan was watching the fun, but when he heard this voice, he was suddenly shocked.
He took a few quick steps closer, not caring about what was wrong.
Open your eyes wide and look down.
"Little sister! Little sister!"
Lu Xingzhan grabbed the edge and yelled, then turned back to look at Prime Minister Lu and Old Madam Lu.
"Grandfather, Grandma! It's Ah Yue! Oh my god, damn it, how dare you touch my sister."
Yu Shengsheng didn’t know where Lu Xingyue had gone, and had no chance to ask.
Now that I heard Lu Xingyue's voice, I understood what was going on.
Although I knew it was fake, my heart still ached when I heard the weak voice.
Looking at Lu Xingzhan’s anxious look, I still felt moved.
Old Madam Lu and Prime Minister Lu also heard it and hurried over. When they saw the tragic scene below and Lu Xingyue with disheveled hair, blood all over her body and a bloodstained little face, they were almost scared to death.
Lu Xingyue had been in poor health to begin with and was the family's key protected person. Normally, her skin had never been broken, but now she is in this state. How can the Lu family bear it?
The prince brought him over hypocritically and wanted to comfort Prime Minister Lu.
Lu Xingzhan pushed his men away and gritted his teeth: "Get the hell out of my way, I want to go down and save my sister, get out of my way!"
The Red Dragon Guard arranged the rope, and Lu Xingzhan grabbed it and went down. As soon as he landed, he staggered towards Lu Xingyue.
"Ayue!" Lu Xingzhan's eyes turned red.
"Don't be afraid, Third Brother is here."
Lu Xingyue was pretending at first, but she had been locked up with these women for some time, in Wuqimahei, with the air full of unpleasant smells and low moans of pain in her ears.
She felt the same way.
When I saw my third brother again, I felt so aggrieved.
"Third brother..."
Lu Xingyue burst into tears: "Save me, save us, they are so pitiful."
Lu Xingzhan had never seen her cry, and when she did cry, it was just fake crying to get someone to bully him. He was usually bullied by her, and she had never said a harsh word to him.
Now when I cry, my heart breaks.
"Don't worry, Third Brother will save you and them too. Stop crying."
Lu Xingzhan wiped her face with his sleeves until his teeth were almost broken.
Madam Lu asked in a trembling voice, "Yue'er, grandma's baby, are you hurt?"
