Chapter 227 Let Ling Yi Live Three More Days
"Ah? To Peng Kun? He's a traitor, he deserves to be beheaded and left exposed in the wilderness!" Shao Shang shook his head repeatedly: "There's no need to go to this extent to put on a show!"
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Of course it's not for him, but for Miss Huo."
"As someone who knew the truth about Lonely City back then, if Lady Huo passed away, some would undoubtedly be upset. From an outsider's perspective, Peng Kun's death has cut off all leads, and General Ling has nowhere to retreat."
Wen Ziduan nodded. "If I were the mastermind behind the Lonely City case, seeing Zisheng in such dire straits, I would be extremely proud right now. I might even be unable to restrain myself and show off in front of Zisheng."
Sure enough, on the second day, Yi Shang and the other man wore plain clothes and knelt in front of the mourning hall. Seeing the white wax burning, all they saw was white. They both felt very heavy in their hearts. If they didn't find a way to save Huo Junhua's life within a month, then she would really lie in this coffin.
Just now, Ling Yi came to invite Huo Junhua to attend his birthday party tomorrow, but was beaten up by Cui You and has been kicked out of Taohua Villa.
At this moment, even if Ling Buyi didn't say it, they knew in their hearts that Ling Yi must be the mastermind of the Gucheng case. When Shao Shang thought about how Ling Buyi had accepted the thief as his father and endured humiliation for so many years, he felt a surge of melancholy in his heart.
He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan looked at each other. Ling Yi dared to come, which meant that he was confident that he could destroy all the evidence.
"My men on the road reported that after the Marquis Chengyang's birthday banquet, many merchant caravans are about to leave the capital, and Ling Yi's men are scattered among them. If we really let them leave, it will be extremely difficult to obtain evidence later."
Wen Ziduan also patted Ling Buyi's shoulder and said, "Peng Kun still shows no signs of waking up. Investigating and collecting evidence will take time, but too many people can't wait any longer."
Ling Buyi closed his eyes slightly, suppressing his overwhelming hatred. He calmed his thoughts, and as if he had made up his mind, he finally spoke and revealed the truth.
"Fifteen years ago, I witnessed firsthand the actions of Ling Yi, the culprit behind the Lonely City case. Over the years, I've had countless opportunities to kill Ling Yi privately... but what I want is to bring these people to justice and let them face the judgment of the world!"
"Only in this way can the dead souls of the lonely city find true rest." Ling Buyi clenched his fists, his nails digging into the flesh, and blood dripped through his fingers onto his plain white robe.
Shao Shang, who had been silent the whole time, now took Ling Buzhi's hand and smiled: "Zisheng, instead of fighting at the Marquis Chengyang's birthday banquet, our wedding banquet in three days is the best choice."
"Just go and do what you need to do, and leave the rest to me."

"It was originally planned that you two would get married on the same day, but unfortunately, Shao Shang's wedding date cannot be postponed, otherwise she will have to observe mourning for three years." The Queen and Concubine Yue held He Zhaojun's hand and talked to her, fearing that she would think too much.
After all, Jin Yuji was still eyeing her, wanting to marry Wen Ziduan as a concubine, so how could they not be anxious? But He Zhaojun held their hands and said, "I will definitely arrange Shaoshang's marriage well. Even during the mourning period, she will not be wronged."
The Queen nodded and said, "You are very prudent in your work. I am not feeling well today and cannot do what I want. Would you please go and escort Shao Shang to her wedding?"
Zhaojun agreed, looking up at them and saying, "I have an unwelcome request, and I hope you two can accommodate it. After all, the Marquis of Chengyang is General Ling's biological father, and he should be present at the wedding of his children."
The Queen and Concubine Yue looked at each other and nodded. Then they stood up and went to find Emperor Wen to summon Marquis Chengyang to the palace to talk.
Looking at the backs of the two men, He Zhaojun raised the corner of her mouth and said, Shaoshang, I have done what you asked me to help you with.
