Chapter 104 This world is really rotten
Ying Yin's face darkened.
At this moment, Xiao Huaiyan spoke.
"My father often mentioned what happened back then. He said that the treasury was empty and the palace expenses were reduced. Duke Shun and the Grand Tutor spent a lot of effort to raise charity funds."
"No funds were allocated? Each amount was pure silver."
"Enough for you to drink thick porridge and survive those years."
As Xiao Huaiyan spoke one sentence after another, the heads of the nobles such as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice lowered lower, and they dared not breathe in fear.
"Why did so many people die?"
Xiao Huaiyan asked: "Fifth Prince, do you know?"
Ying Yin's face was as black as ink.
There was no other reason.
The court minister who managed the disaster relief was his...uncle.
He didn't expect that this fire would burn him.
Ying Yin only said one word.
"Remember!"
Xiao Huaiyan: Oh. Sacrifice relatives for the sake
of justice.
He slowly retracted his gaze, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the dead man again!
The last time Xiao Huaiyan and Wei Zhao met was in Shangjing three months ago.
The night was very dark, and the Shunguo Mansion seemed to be in a dead silence. He climbed over the Wei family wall from the outside. Avoiding the patrolling guards, he went to Wei Zhao's study with ease.
No one was seen.
Xiao Huaiyan last saw Wei Zhao outside the Wei family ancestral hall.
The man was kneeling in the yard, dusty and depressed.
"Returning to Beijing without permission is a serious crime. You are the one who has the courage."
Xiao Huaiyan approached: "It's a coincidence. I just got a jar of good wine, otherwise..."
The voice paused.
The closer he got, the more he found that something was wrong with Wei Zhao.
Xiao Huaiyan was stunned.
Wei Zhao's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was dejected.
He did nothing, his eyes were empty and facing the direction of the ancestral hall.
He didn't cry.
But the sadness around him was like a poisonous snake, penetrating every inch of his skin.
Xiao Huaiyan had never seen Wei Zhao like this.
When Duke Shun died, Wei Zhao almost collapsed from grief, but
he still managed to handle the funeral without even showing his emotions. The smile on his face faded, and he felt inexplicably flustered. He whispered, "Guizhi."
Wei Zhao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, with a strong disgust in his eyes.
This disgust was not for Xiao Huaiyan, but seemed to be for himself.
Xiao Huaiyan was suddenly shocked.
He and Wei Zhao had known each other for many years. He had seen his youthful pride and delicacy, and also his steadiness, depth, coldness and ruthlessness.
He had never seen him like this.
"Why...what's wrong? What happened?"
"Don't scare me?"
The moonlight enveloped Wei Zhao, as bleak as snow. He suddenly laughed.
The laughter was filled with cold sarcasm.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and his shoulders twitched.
Something crystal and moist broke from his eye sockets and fell down.
Xiao Huaiyan said cautiously, "Guizhi."
"Don't call me."
Xiao Huaiyan: ? ? ?
We are so familiar with each other! Why can't I shout?
Xiao Huaiyan was at a loss at that time.
He could do nothing but stay by his side quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Zhao's voice became very hoarse.
"Look, this world is really rotten."
Yes.
Xiao Huaiyan looked at the long line in front of him, and the miserable words from the people's mouths. It
was really rotten.
The lights were bright in the post station.
The Wei family army was guarding the mourning hall.
They said nothing, but they could hear everything outside clearly.
At this time, footsteps were heard in front.
It was dimly lit there, and only a sneaky shadow could be seen.
The Wei family army looked over together, drew the knives from their waists, and looked alert.
"It's me, it's me."
Rong Di said hurriedly.
"Swords have no eyes, don't hurt your own people."
Chi Yu looked over, and many emotions flashed in his eyes and finally returned to silence.
He didn't ask Rong Di where he took Doctor Ge.
"Why are you here?"
Rong Di:? ?
He can't come yet?
Chi Yu asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Rong Di:? ? ?
You are so capable!
Rong Di was very jealous.
Isn't he just a little deputy general brought by the general.
What a big tone!
Rong Di: "No!"
He would never tell Chi Yu that the general is not dead!
He, Rong Di, is the person the general trusts the most! !
Thinking of this, Rong Di was very proud.
It wasn't that he wanted to come, but...
Wei Zhao ordered it.
Late at night, the public security in Ze County is not good.
Yu Tingwan and Hui Niang went out, Wei Zhao was not very reassured, so he asked him to follow to protect them.
Really.
The general really has the potential to be a good husband.
He knows to worry about his wife.
Although it's fake.
But the general is Wei Shen every day, he Rong Di treats Yu Tingwan as his wife!
"I heard that old Dong is still not satisfied with his marriage, and he wants to snatch people on the street?"
Chi Yu: "He deserves to die!"
Rong Di: "You saved a woman?"
Chi Yu doesn't care about women or not, his eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I will never let the Dong family have an easy life!"
Rong Di sighed: "You are not a good person, how can you be so lucky?"
Let him save!
You can make a contribution!
Rong Di: "Didn't scare people?"
Chi Yu was puzzled.
"You..."
Chi Yu: "You like it?"
Then his attitude should be a little better today.
Thinking of what the girl said, all of which were admiration for the general, Chi Yu glanced at Rong Di.
"Good vision."
Rong Di: ? ? ?
He flashed with fear in his eyes.
"Shut up! Take it back! Can you speak!"
"I knew you wanted me to die for a long time!"
Outside the post station.
Hanging on the eaves, the illuminated white lanterns were swaying in the wind.
Finally, it was Yu Tingwan and Hui Niang's turn.
Hui Niang's hands were shaking with excitement.
Tears flashed in her eyes: "My...my daughter's name is Xiao Niang, she...she died unjustly..."
Obviously, she had been holding back some words for a year, and she had said them back and forth in front of Yu Tingwan no less than ten times on the road, but now she was too excited and began to stutter.
Her face was flushed.
She spoke more chaotically in a hurry.
Yu Tingwan held her hand and gently comforted her.
"Mom, I'll do it."
Hui Niang: "Okay, okay, you do it."
Yu Tingwan: "My sister-in-law Xiao Niang is good-looking and gentle. Her husband has a bad temper and is a famous playboy. He loves to drink and will hurt people if he disagrees with something."
"Xiao Niang was beaten to death by him last year. She was seven months pregnant at that time."
"It is true that a good girl was abused by the He family when she married into their family, but in the end she didn't even have a dignified death. As far as I know, that beast turned around and married again. The young man already had a child."
"The horrible wounds on Xiao Niang's body and the blood that had long since dried up are enough to show that this case involves human life. The whole village of Xilin Village is a witness."
"Even if Xiao Niang has made a huge mistake, her family should be notified. The He family is dirty, they have some money, and they are guests of honor in the county magistrate's mansion, and they think they are superior."
"Since they have the intention to remarry, the worst that can happen is that they write a divorce letter and live their own lives. My mother's family is from a poor background, but the family tradition is honest and upright. They can't bear to see the girl suffer, so they will go and pick her up personally. Why do you want to take a life so lightly?"
