Chapter 495: Gambling! Heart-wrenching pain!
Mrs. Wang hurriedly grabbed Wang Shuyi's sleeve and cried bitterly, "Shu'er, you can't say such things."
"The people of Daliang are barbaric and cruel. I heard they even exchange wives and children. How can you go to such a wild place?"
Wang Shuyi wiped her tears and said, "Mother, you know I can't go, but can Miss Lin and the others go?"
Mrs. Wang was speechless for a moment, and could only shed tears and say nothing else.
Wang Yuan also turned his head away, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Wang Shuyi gritted her teeth and stood up: "Father, since you are unwilling to help, I will go to Sifang Pavilion now. I must stand by my benefactor!"
Having said that, she turned and walked out.
Mrs. Wang grabbed Wang Shuyi and said, "Shu'er, you are trying to kill me! You are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go!"
Wang Shuyi's eyes were very determined:
"Father, Mother, if you want to lock me up and prevent me from explaining the whole story, I'll take over Daliang!"
"When I was young, my father taught me to be grateful and repay kindness, but what's going on now?"
"Even if I become a corpse, I will go!"
threaten!
Threaten with your own life!
After all, it was her own flesh and blood. Madam Wang understood Wang Shuyi's temperament best. She looked at Wang Yuan:
"Master, please say something! Are you really going to just watch Shu'er go to Daliang?"
Wang Yuan closed his eyes and looked at his wife and daughter, feeling extremely helpless.
He took a deep breath, but still found it difficult to speak.
Seeing this, Wang Shuyi smiled even though tears welled up in her eyes:
"Father, you're afraid that my education will get out and violate the laws of Dasheng, and that this will stifle my freedom. You're not allowing me to study and learn calligraphy. I don't blame you."
"But you planned to sacrifice the lives of ten girls just for five cities. I will never forgive you in my life!"
"Since you are looking forward to great success, please forgive your daughter's unfilial behavior!"
As she said this, she kowtowed three times and turned to walk out.
These words were like a sharp blade, cutting into Wang Yuan's heart bit by bit.
Since he took the position of Chief Censor, he has always been conscientious and never slacked off in his official duties. Before making every decision, he always took the prosperity of the country as his own responsibility.
But today, his own daughter's tearful words made him doubt himself. Was his decision to support the marriage right or wrong?
This is clearly the best thing for Dasheng, but why would his wife and daughter become alienated from him?
Wang Shuyi had no idea what Wang Yuan was thinking. She walked out of the room and into the yard without hesitation.
"Shuyi!"
An old and tired voice sounded.
Wang Shuyi turned her head and looked at Wang Yuan who spoke.
Wang Yuan took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision:
"Later, you will come with me to the Lin family to testify for Lin Zhiqing. I will not interfere in the marriage matter anymore."
Hearing this, Wang Shuyi's heart couldn't stop beating.
She did it, she really did it!
Her stubborn father actually gave in!
Lin Zhiqing was right, her father loved her!
"Father, thank you." Wang Shuyi said sincerely.
Wang Yuan sighed: "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
At the same time, the lobby of the Dali Temple was very lively.
"Lin Zhiqing doesn't want to marry, yet he actually attacked my followers in an absurd way, attempting to undermine the diplomatic relationship between our two countries!" The Daliang envoy's voice was very sharp:
"I have never seen such a vicious woman. If Lin Zhiqing doesn't give me an explanation, I will report it to the emperor immediately!"
He stood in the hall, quite angry, and the bodies of his followers were lying on the ground.
On the other side of the lobby, Lin Zhiqing stood gracefully.
"Your Excellency's words are quite interesting. I don't want a marriage alliance. What's the point of killing a follower? Shouldn't I...take action against you, Your Excellency?"
"Bang!"
The sound of the gavel rang out, and Dali Temple Minister Zhou Chong was frowning:
"How dare you! How dare you say such outrageous words!"
Lin Zhiqing raised his head slightly, not thinking that what he said was outrageous.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing so stubborn, Zhou Chongzheng took a deep breath and looked at the person behind the screen: "Your Highness, this matter..."
That’s right, the prince is here too.
The incident caused such a big stir that it alarmed the prince.
He was behind the scenes making decisions, which made people a little nervous.
"Master Zhou, please do as you wish. There is no need to worry about me." The prince's voice was calm and emotionless.
Zhou Chongzheng frowned and complained in his heart.
How could he dare to try such a big thing?
He finally discovered that the Lin family was his nemesis.
No matter what the matter is, as long as it involves the Lin family, it will become very difficult.
He wanted to ask the prince how to deal with it, but the prince changed the subject.
This has caused him to be under great pressure now.
"Sir Zhou, the bodies are already here. This woman is a murderer and must not be left alive!" The Daliang envoy spoke again.
Lin Zhiqing refused to give in: "Your Excellency, don't you use evidence when you judge cases in Daliang?"
"Everyone knows that I have no martial arts skills and am just a weak woman. How could I possibly kill your followers?"
The Daliang envoy snorted coldly, "Since you refuse to give up, come here and explain the whole story in detail!"
With his order, the dancer was brought up, her eyes full of fear.
Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows. This was the witness.
This dancer was the one who had been with the Daliang envoy before, and she witnessed everything that happened.
Lin Zhiqing didn't kill anyone, and the dancer knew it.
The dancer gritted her teeth, met Lin Zhiqing's gaze, and said:
"Sir Zhou, I was wandering around the capital with the envoy a while ago, killing time, when I encountered a woman who had violated the law and entered a bookstore."
"My master, in accordance with the laws of the Great Sheng, has captured that woman and intends to bring her back to the Sifang Pavilion first, and then hand her over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for disposal."
"But on the way back to Sifang Pavilion, Miss Lin Er suddenly appeared for some reason."
"Not only did she take the woman away, she also killed the envoy's entourage. This is what happened."
Zhou Chongzheng frowned:
"Where were you at the time? Do you remember Lin Zhiqing's clothes and the information about the woman who broke the law?"
The dancer thought for a moment before speaking:
"Your Excellency, we were in an alley not far from Qixiang Street at the time, and Miss Lin was wearing the same clothes she is wearing now."
"The woman who broke the law was very striking in appearance and dressed like a man."
When Zhou Chongzheng heard this, he looked at Lin Zhiqing:
"Lin Zhiqing, do you have anything to say?"
"Your Excellency, I have something to say." Lin Zhiqing turned and looked at the dancer:
"Miss, what you said just now was wrong. We were clearly on Changqing Street, not Qixiang Street."
The dancer frowned and immediately spoke:
"It's Qixiang Street. Changqing Street is on the other side of the East Market. We clearly didn't go to the East Market today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stared at the dancer with sharp eyes.
