Chapter 059: The Feather Passes Away
Wan Luo and Chang Ge looked at each other for a moment, and when they wanted to ask again, the woman in white in front of them had already made a light leap and disappeared from the two of them without a trace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In such a place of right and wrong, no one will pretend to be a ghost needlessly, presumably the woman in white is inextricably linked to this ghost village.
Wanluo was a little inexplicably uneasy, "Don't you think that the girl just now seems to know something about the past." She was alone playing such a sad tune at the foot of the mountain, probably to pay tribute to the dead in the ghost village. ā
Although Changge was suspicious in his heart, he still touched her head quite easily, "Everything in the world has cause and effect, and what should come will always come." Don't be afraid, I'm here. ā
Wan Luo covered the panic in her heart and smiled lightly at him, but she silently prayed in her heart that even if the woman in white wanted to seek revenge, she should also point the finger at the current saint who planned to slaughter the village, and not find the wrong person and affect the innocent.

In the blink of an eye, it was another three days.
Early that morning, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent someone to send news to the General's Mansion that Qing Yu's case had been closed and the verdict was announced, and as Chen Lan said in prison that day, he was sentenced to Ling Chi for the crimes of bullying the king, murdering, and assassinating important officials of the imperial court, and was sentenced to Ling Chi, and was executed at three o'clock in the afternoon three days later.
Although Wan Luo almost lost her life at the hands of Qing Yu that day, she was still sad when she heard such a verdict. Qing Yu was only seventeen years old this year, and if he was not even a minor in the twenty-first century, even if he was a heinous person, he should not have ended his life in such a cruel way.
What's more, every wrong thing Qing Yu did was just a minion's foolish loyalty to his master.
The Wen family's father and son were more concerned that the case was too hasty, and the closing statement only stated that Qing Yu personally admitted that the killing of Ruyi was true, but the motive for the killing was not confessed, which seemed suspicious.
The news soon spread to Shangguan Yuntian's Prime Minister's Mansion, and such a result was expected for him, closing Chen Lan's handwritten letter, and the wick that was about to be extinguished slowly turned into ashes.
The little maid in the house walked into the door with an old altar of daughter Hong, and there was fresh soil hanging on the outer wall of the wine jar, "My lord, the wine slave you want has been fetched." ā
Shangguan Yuntian took off his crimson official uniform and said to the little servant, "Go and bring me the plain robe in the box." ā
In the cell of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shangguan Yuntian, who was dressed in plain clothes, saw Qing Yu again.
Qing Yu sat on the mess of straw with his back against the wall, and his body had more traces from the torture before, and he looked much thinner than before. A few rats were surrounding the broken porcelain bowl at his feet, scrambling to eat the untouched leftovers inside.
Shangguan Yuntian's eyebrows tightened slightly, he glanced coldly at Chen Lan beside him, and said lightly: "Didn't you promise me that you would take good care of him?" ā
Chen Lan smiled meaninglessly, "This case is not being tried by my uncle alone, I always have to make a show to show the people in the criminal department, otherwise I am afraid it will arouse suspicion." ā
Shangguan Yuntian didn't argue, and said calmly: "Give me some time, let me have a glass of wine with him." ā
Chen Lan looked at the wine jar in his hand, and said with something in his words: "This wine-"
Shangguan Yuntian lifted the wine jar, calmly opened the wine seal, raised his neck and poured a few big mouthfuls, and looked at Chen Lan again.
Chen Lan looked at him and said: "It's already unruly for a cup of tea", and after saying that, he brushed his sleeves away.
Shangguan Yuntian walked into the cage, sat down in front of Qing Yu, and put down the two wine glasses and the old daughter red in the jar.
Qing Yu raised his eyes to look at him weakly, and a pale smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "The young master is wearing white clothes, but he is wearing it for Qing Yu?" ā
Shangguan Yuntian filled the wine glasses each, "Yes, I'll send you." ā
Qing Yu nodded and said slowly, "It's the first time in so many years that we've sat down face-to-face for a glass of wine like this. ā
Shangguan Yuntian lowered his starry eyes and said softly: "I ate steamed buns and porridge for breakfast today; On the way here, I saw that the crape myrtles by the moat were already blooming; The song that the Qinglian girl from Hongbin Building is humming today is "Partridge Heaven". ā
Qing Yu listened carefully word by word, and smiled extraordinarily, "It's good to hear you say this."
Shangguan Yuntian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I still remember when I was a child, I went down the mountain to procure, and you saw a lot of children eating rock sugar gourds on the street, so I also wanted to buy them and taste them, but I didn't agree." I really wanted to buy it for you, but unfortunately it was too hot, and I ran all over the street and there was no one to sell. ā
Qing Yu smiled and said, "Do you remember everything....... But that's okay, it's okay to keep a thought. ā
Shangguan Yuntian filled the two wine glasses, one of which was handed to Qing Yu, "Drink the bar." ā
Qing Yu took the wine glass in his hand, lowered his eyes and smiled: "It's really good wine, young master, thank you." ā
The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
That wine cup is a unique thing of the Nine Xuan Underground Palace, how could Qing Yu not know it, as early as when it was fired, ten percent of the poison was added, and drinking the wine it was filled with was enough to kill.
Let him die peacefully and dignifiedly, and now, this is the only thing Shangguan Yuntian can do for him.
A glass of cold wine was in his stomach, and a sharp pain in Qing Yu's abdomen suddenly appeared, and after a while, a mouthful of black blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and the only remaining strength was no longer enough to support his body, and he slowly leaned against Shangguan Yuntian's arm.
"Young Master...... Let go of your hatred and live for yourself. ā
"There's no way back."
"No, you have. Go find someone you love and take her out of here. No one in this world can really bind you except yourself. ā
Seeing that Shangguan Yuntian was speechless, Qing Yu couldn't help but smile slightly: "For her, you can even abandon your life, let alone hatred." If you just give her up to someone else, why should Iā"
At this point, several mouthfuls of black blood spurted out of his mouth one after another.
Qing Yu didn't continue, but said with his last breath: "You want to.... Be careful, be careful...... Chen Lan. ā
Shangguan Yuntian was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't have time to think about it, Qing Yu had already leaned on his body and slowly closed his eyes and swallowed his breath.
Putting Qing Yu down on the ground, Shangguan Yuntian said calmly: "You go on the road well, don't worry about me." ā
The jailer in charge of guarding saw Qing Yu suddenly die violently, and immediately went to report to Chen Lan.
Chen Lan, who came in a hurry, couldn't help but be angry when she saw that Qing Yu was really dead, "Who told you to kill him?" How do you want me to explain to God? ā
Shangguan Yuntian said coldly: "Qing Yu has followed me since he was a child, I can't watch him being abused and killed by you. As for how to explain to the emperor, that is my uncle's business. ā
Although Chen Lan was angry, she also knew that she was far from having a showdown with Shangguan Yuntian at this time, so she had to swallow her anger for the time being: "Okay, you are not ruthless enough, if you don't change your character, it will be difficult to achieve a big thing." ā
Shangguan Yuntian didn't answer, left Chen Lan, and went straight out of the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
