Chapter 36: Unjust, False and Wrongly Decided Cases
"Miss Yue'er, you're awake. The lord said that you would let you drink this medicine when you woke up. Le Ling saw Yue'er wake up and said to her.
"Yes, thank you." Yue'er slowly drank the medicine.
"By the way, this girl, when I entered the mansion just now, I saw the plaque at the door that said Xiao Mansion, I don't know who your lord is?" Yue'er asked.
"Our master is Uncle Xiao Lingfeng Xiao." Leling said.
"What? It's him! Yue'er was a little surprised. She suddenly remembered that it was him who had planned to spoil her and her brother last time, and that he was the one who ambushed them this time, and suddenly she had no good impression of him before.
She got out of bed angrily and walked out.
"Miss Yue'er, what are you going to do?" Le Ling stepped forward to stop it.
"I'm getting out of here."
"Your injuries are not healed yet, and the master said you can't go."
"He doesn't have to worry about my business!" As he spoke, he came to the courtyard and happened to meet Xiao Lingfeng who came back from Cuiqing Pavilion.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.
Yue'er walked up to Xiao Lingfeng and didn't say anything, she reached out and slapped Xiao Lingfeng.
"You're crazy!" Xiao Lingfeng shouted at her.
"I'm crazy, I actually believe you, I believe that you will help me, you and the emperor are basically together." Yue'er cried.
Suddenly, Xiao Lingfeng slapped Yue'er with his backhand, "You are stupid, if I am with the emperor, why should I save you, I know that you are not bad people, I am here to help you." ”
Yue'er covered her face and sat on the ground crying bitterly, not knowing what to do for a while.
Xiao Lingfeng slowly squatted in front of her and whispered, "I promise you that I will rescue your brother and give you justice, are you willing to believe me?" ”
Yue'er didn't say anything, nodded lightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Xiao Lingfeng patted Yue'er's shoulder with her hand.
"Come, help her into the house." Xiao Lingfeng said to Le Ling that Yue'er's body was still a little weak, and Le Ling helped her sit on the chair carefully.
"Say, why do you want to assassinate the emperor in every possible way, I think the emperor is diligent and loves the people, and he is not a faint king. Are you avenging anyone? Xiao Lingfeng said.
"Yes. Avenge our father. Yue'er told Xiao Lingfeng in detail what happened.
It turned out that Yue'er's father was a local governor, and at that time, her father's place suffered from a severe drought, and the people were hungry, but the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court could not arrive in full.
As a result, I found out that the disaster relief funds were embezzled by the officials above, and Yue'er's father was so distressed that he decided to investigate the matter in person and give the people justice.
"My father went away and never came back. It wasn't until half a month later that we received a holy decree saying that my father had been executed by the emperor's order for embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and that he would be beheaded all over the house. Yue'er cried.
"In this way, our whole family, including my brother and I, were escorted to the execution ground, but fortunately, our old slave desperately sent me and my brother away, and we were able to save our lives, but the old slave was hacked to death with a knife." Yue'er continued.
"I don't understand, my father went to investigate their corruption, but he became a embezzler." The more Yue'er talked, the more sad she became.
"Didn't you investigate later?"
"How do we investigate, once we are discovered, even we will be killed."
"Okay, I got it. I'll help you figure this out. ”
"Go to the palace and report that I will invite the emperor to drink at night, and tell him that I have someone here who he wants to see." Xiao Lingfeng said to his subordinates.
"Will the emperor come? She is the emperor, how can she leave the palace when she says it? Yue'er didn't believe it.
"He will come, and he will come for you." Xiao Lingfeng said.
Yue'er didn't expect that she was just lying to the emperor, but the emperor really liked her.
Xiao Lingfeng prepared the wine and food, and the emperor really arrived as promised.
"What about her?" The emperor asked.
"Come out." Xiao Lingfeng said. Yue'er walked out slowly.
"Tell the emperor your story, the emperor is the ruler of the world, and he will definitely deal with it impartially." Xiao Lingfeng said.
Yue'er stated her grievances to the emperor one by one.
"I don't have the slightest impression of this matter, and when I go back, I will carefully investigate it, and if what you say is true, I will definitely give you justice.
"Emperor Xie, it's just my brother..."Yue'er said.
"In this way, it's better for the emperor to put him here with me, and I will watch them for the emperor until the matter comes to light." Xiao Lingfeng took the opportunity to say.
"Well, I promise you."
Yue'er saw that the emperor was so kind and generous, presumably the things of the year were really not the emperor's orders, and she suddenly felt a lot less hatred for the emperor in her heart.
Back in the palace, the emperor immediately sent someone to investigate, and soon responded, this is really a wrongful case.
It turned out that Yue'er's father collected a lot of evidence through continuous inspections, and was about to enter the palace to impeach the first offender of corruption, Lord Wang, but they found that they had killed people and put the blame on him.
"What a guts!" The emperor was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, severely punished, and those involved in the matter fell one after another, and some even beheaded.
"Emperor Xie!" Yue'er and her brother thanked the emperor together.
"Uh, that." The emperor was spitting out, and at first glance, he had something to say.
"Ah, what, Yue'er, you take the emperor to visit my garden, and I'll go prepare a meal for you." Xiao Lingfeng saw the emperor's intentions and left with Yue'er's brother, leaving only the emperor and Yue'er.
"Yue'er, I want to ask if you would like to enter the palace with me?"
"Your Majesty, Yue'er doesn't want to deceive the emperor, although Yue'er already knows that her father's death has nothing to do with the emperor, but after all, Yue'er has hated the emperor for so many years, even if she understands for a while, she can only be friends, but she can't be a husband and wife, please forgive Yue'er for being really difficult to obey."
Yue'er turned around and continued: "Besides, Yue'er is used to wandering the rivers and lakes, and the life of the palace wall is really not suitable for me. ”
"Alright! I don't force you anymore. The emperor sighed.
After eating, the emperor was leaving, and he didn't want to say goodbye to Yue'er in person, so as not to add to his sadness.
"Your Majesty, go slowly, let's have a good drink with the brothers another day." Xiao Lingfeng said.
"Who is your brother? It's a big rebellion. The emperor said.
"Me, last time the emperor said that if I help you find Yue'er, you will be my brother." Xiao Lingfeng said deliberately.
"I was drunk last time, and I forgot about it. Besides, sooner or later you will marry Aoqing, I am your father-in-law, wouldn't it be a big loss to call you a brother? After the emperor finished speaking, he left without looking back.
"Hey, when did I say I was going to marry Aoqing, what a scoundrel. This father and daughter are the same. Xiao Lingfeng smiled and shook his head,
But Xiao Lingfeng seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Wan'er, where are you? Daddy misses you so much. Thinking of the father and daughter of the emperor and Aoqing, Xiao Lingfeng looked up at the sky, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Xiao Daxia, what's wrong with you?" Yue'er walked to Xiao Lingfeng's side at some point.
"Oh, it's fine. You've packed it up. ”
"Well, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. ”
"Hey! It's okay, I'll send you, right? Xiao Lingfeng said.
"Xiao Daxia, I..." Yue'er wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Lingfeng turned around and asked her.
"Oh, it's okay, let's go, brother is waiting for me outside the city." Yue'er put away what she wanted to say, in fact, she already liked Xiao Lingfeng a little, but she knew that it was impossible for her to be with Xiao Lingfeng, so let's not say it and leave a little thought for each other.
Xiao Lingfeng and Yue'er walked down the street and met Aoqing head-on.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Lingfeng said.
"What? Is it a good thing that disturbs you. Aoqing saw Xiao Lingfeng accompanying Yue'er and said.
"Say what? I'm about to send Yue'er away! You're here, aren't you? ”
Ao Qing and Xiao Ling Feng Yue'er walked out of the city.
