Chapter 292: Please make the decision after the investigation is complete
Chu Yian's words seemed to have pressed the mute button on the noisy crowd.
Not only were the people watching outside caught off guard, but even the servants of the Su family who were ordered to come out and arrest people were stunned.
Su Zhi was at the Duke's Mansion last night, not at the brothel. This was said by the master of the Duke's Mansion himself.
Also, who dares to say that the Duke's Mansion is a filthy place? Don't you want to live anymore?
Several servants looked at each other, this... they didn't know what to do.
One of the people standing behind hurried back to report to the master of the Su family.
Things seem to be taking a turn for the better, the third young lady is innocent.
With the Duke of Qin's Mansion as a witness, who would dare to go out and say that the Su family has produced a shameless slut?
But at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "I heard that Madam Qin Sanshao and Miss Su San are very close. Who knew that you didn't make an appointment to go together? You are just lucky that no one found you."
"Will your testimony for her count?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air became quiet again.
The expressions of those people who had been watching the fun and making a fuss before were blank for a moment, and their brains were stunned.
Chu Yian turned his head to look at the crowd, his eyes as cold as ice.
She really, never, ever wanted to kill someone so much.
Even the usually gentle Tao's eyes seemed to be filled with poison when she heard this, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.
The guards of Duke Qin's Mansion, who were originally staring at the servants of the Su family, immediately cast their sharp gazes at the crowd of onlookers, and murderous intent suddenly arose.
Several secret guards following in the dark instantly locked onto the person who said this, and their faces under the masks were filled with murderous intent.
The man who was hiding in the crowd and was planning to say something and run away felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
He shrank his neck and was about to slip away, but people on his left and right attacked him at the same time, each punching him hard in the face and kidneys.
The man was caught off guard and screamed in pain. Then he was kicked out of the crowd and kicked in front of the group of ferocious guards of Duke Qin's Mansion.
He was even not satisfied and stepped forward to kick her a few more times, his eyes red with anger.
"Who do you think you are to dare to slander the Qin family? The Duke of Qin's Mansion has been guarding Dashun for so many years. How many men have died for the people? How dare you slander the Qin family like this? Are you a spy sent by Ningguo?"
Another man also came forward aggressively, punching and kicking the screaming man: "Without the Qin family, you wouldn't be shitting and farting here, throwing dirty water on the women of my Dashun heroes. I think you must be a spy sent by Ningguo."
"It just so happens that people from the Duke's Mansion are here today. Spy like you deserve to be skinned alive."
The words of these two people almost ignited the anger of all the people.
They like to join in the fun and sometimes even say a few words.
But the Duke of Qin’s Mansion is different. The Qin family is like a guardian angel in the hearts of the people. How can they allow others to throw dirty water and trample on them like this?
The Huns invaded the border, and the Duke of Qin and the third son of the Qin family are still fighting on the border, but their families were slandered just for speaking a few truths.
Some even said she went to a brothel.
How chilling!
Many people in the crowd had red eyes. The more they looked at the man who had been beaten so hard that he was breathing heavily, the more hateful they thought he was.
Some people have even started calling the police to investigate who was behind all this and who was trying to drag the Duke of Qin's Mansion into this.
Targeting the Qin family at this time, what else could it be but a spy?
Things were heading in a direction no one had expected. Listening to the indignant voices of the people, Chu Yian stood there in a daze, his nose feeling a little sore.
Looking at the indignant people, she thought of the past.
When Qin Sheng first married into the Qin family, she was always sad. Although most of her sadness was because of the emperor, who knew if she also felt disappointed with the people?
But the people are actually kind-hearted. They know who has been protecting them all these years, and when the Qin family is slandered, they will stand up angrily to speak for the Qin family.
Not an unconscious puppet.
Chu Yian lowered his eyelashes, sniffed, and quickly winked at the guard.
Although I am very touched by the people's protection, this man cannot be killed now. He is still useful.
The Qin family guards rushed forward to separate the angry people and rescued the man who was already beaten to death.
But the people's anger had not subsided yet, and they were still pointing at the man's nose and cursing.
Even the person in the crowd who had just said that his friend met Su Zhi at Yiyun Pavilion last night was pushed out.
Each of them slapped him in the face, pointed at his nose and said, "You'd better call your friend here right now, otherwise you'll be just like him, a spy trying to slander the Qin family."
"Why be so polite to him? Hand him over to the Qin family for trial!"
The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled like a sieve, and he dared not say a word anymore.
He only mentioned Su Zhi and didn't mention the Qin family at all. Why...
Chu Yian wiped his eyes, smiled sweetly, and stepped forward to bow to the people.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at her.
They had seen this young lady before. On the day the army left the city, she was obviously reluctant to leave her husband, but she still smiled and saw him off.
Although she is a girl, she has the same strong and proud character as the boys of the Qin family.
Chu Yian said in a resounding voice: "Thank you all for speaking up for the Qin family. Yian will remember this in my heart."
"My Qin family, whether male or female, all act uprightly and honestly. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this, as can the sun and the moon."
The people's already unhappy eyes became even redder, and they all bowed in return.
The crowd quieted down.
It’s not a good thing for the Qin family to have too high a reputation. Chu Yian said this and didn’t talk about this topic anymore.
He reached out and pulled Su Zhi, who was a little dazed, over to the side, and said to the people, "Miss Su Zhi did stay at the Qin family last night. I don't know who is so vicious as to force her to death with such dirty means."
"But I believe that rumors stop at the wise. I hope that if you encounter someone who talks nonsense in the future, you can help explain it to them. Yi An will be very grateful."
The people of Duke Qin's Mansion have different weight in the hearts of the people, and the people are willing to listen to Chu Yian's words.
But some people were still angry: "Madam San Shao, this person is so excessive, won't you report it to the police?"
"Yeah, are we really going to let that person go? Are we going to let him slander us like this?"
Chu Yian smiled and shook his head slightly: "Of course not, the Duke Qin's Mansion will investigate this matter together with the Su family."
"After the investigation is complete, I will report to Your Majesty. Please make your decision."
Report to the police?
I will never report it to the police in this lifetime.
The old man from the Chang family has so much power in the court, and although Lord Zhang from Jingzhao Prefecture is a good official who works diligently and loves the people.
However, due to pressure from the Chang family, he may not dare to try the case. Even if it is tried fairly, who can guarantee that the Chang family will not retaliate against him behind his back?
Being an official in the capital is the most difficult thing to do. There are people with higher ranks than you everywhere. How can it be easy to deal with them?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to go directly to the emperor.
The last man who plotted against General Fu's daughter had his entire family exiled to Wangguan. Chu Yian believed that even with the protection of the Chang family, that beast would not get away with it.
After hearing what she said, the people felt a little relieved.
The Su family finally arrived at this time and politely invited Chu Yian into the house.
Chu Yian looked towards the carriage, and then Tao got off the carriage. Her eyes became softer and softer as she looked at Chu Yian.
This child is much more mature in handling things than when she first married into the Qin family.
She came here today because she was worried that Chu Yian could not handle the situation, but she did not expect that the people trusted the Qin family so much, and she handled it just right.
But now that I'm here, I still have to go through the motions.
The group entered the house. Su Zhi lowered her head and said nothing, secretly giving Su's mother a look.
