Chapter 110: Reversal of the Situation
"Lord Liu, they are your people, I hope you have already thought about explaining everything that happened in this torture chamber to Lord Patrol." After getting Li Hongyu's evidence, the emaciated boy looked at Liu Yi, who was already oozing cold sweat on his forehead, and said.
"This is natural, this official will definitely investigate this matter and give an explanation to the outside world."
Liu Yi nodded again and again when he heard this, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, since witnessing Li Hongyu's "resurrection", his emotions have calmed down a lot compared to before, as long as he doesn't make a fuss, then the pressure he is under has been reduced a lot.
"Take them back and keep them watched!" The emaciated boy brother immediately waved his hand at Ma Qianhu and the middle-aged jailer and other people involved in the case, and gave an order with a cold expression, he wanted to take these people away from Wuchangwei and change them to a safe place to be guarded.
"Commander, the lowly duty is wronged, you must save the lowly duty." When he was taken away by the guards, Ma Qianhu opened his mouth and asked Liu Yi for help, he didn't want to die in such a daze.
Liu Yi didn't react at all, and stood there expressionlessly as if he hadn't heard Ma Qianhu's request for help at all, and he couldn't guarantee where to take care of Ma Qianhu now.
Seeing this, Ma Qianhu's face suddenly turned ashen, and he was dragged away by two guards with a desperate face, it seems that this black cauldron is going to be carried by him, but he can't afford this responsibility, God knows what the government will do with him.
"Under Li Hongyu, thank you...... Childe's life-saving grace! ”
After Ma Qianhu and his party were taken away by those tall guards, Li Hongyu's somewhat confused mind finally came to his senses, and he realized that it was Zhu Wanting and others who saved him, so he hurriedly stood up with some difficulty, walked to Zhu Wanting, who was looking at him with ruddy cheeks, and bowed solemnly, "Gongzi Da En Li Hongyu is unforgettable, and he will be reciprocated by the spring!" ”
Originally, Li Hongyu wanted to say "Miss Thank You", but after thinking about it, since this little white face was shown in men's clothes, it meant that he didn't want to expose his daughter's body, so he forcibly withdrew the word "sister" to his lips and called it "son".
After experiencing the previous life and death catastrophe, Li Hongyu felt extremely tired, and his whole body seemed to be prostration, and he couldn't even stand up if he didn't grit his teeth and force him.
"Hmph, son-in-law, son-in-law, what kind of little son, don't think that you are taller than this son, you want to take advantage of this son, to tell you the truth, this son is older than you, and in the future, I will treat my son as a brother."
Zhu Wanting saw that Li Hongyu almost revealed her identity, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Hongyu, and said in an old-fashioned manner, she didn't want outsiders to know that Li Hongyu knew that she was her daughter, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hide the drunken night that night.
"Childe's lesson is that he is abrupt." Li Hongyu sneered, bowed to Zhu Wanting again seriously, and thanked him, "If the prince has orders in the future, he will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
"Hmph, this son is too lazy to care about your life or death."
Zhu Wanting snorted coldly when she heard this, came to Li Hongyu's side and stretched out her fingers, and said coldly while poking Li Hongyu's chest, "To tell you the truth, this son has bet more than 100,000 taels of silver on you, if you can't pass the Xie Yuan in this township exam, this son will let you be unloaded and sold as dog meat!" ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I will do my best." Looking at Zhu Wanting, who was staring at him fiercely, Li Hongyu was slightly stunned at first, and then the corners of his mouth showed a helpless wry smile, and he replied to Zhu Wanting.
To be honest, if he hadn't provoked Zhang Quan, he would still believe Zhu Wanting's words, but now Li Hongyu didn't think that the little white face in front of him who dared to save himself from Zhang Quan's hands would feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, obviously this was just an excuse for Zhu Wanting.
The reason for this is very simple, if Li Hongyu is unable to participate in the township test because of the lawsuit, the casino will definitely refund the money to those who bet on him, after all, if he can't participate in the township test, how can he solve the yuan in the exam?
Therefore, although Li Hongyu does not know the reason, it is certain that Zhu Wanting will never be involved in the grievances between him and Zhang Quan because of a mere hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Count you as acquaintances!"
Zhu Wanting was quite satisfied with Li Hongyu's answer, bowed her head slightly and turned to leave, secretly relieved in her heart, Peugeot's handsome cheeks were a little hot, hoping that the words and deeds just now could cover up the panic in her heart, so as not to lose face in front of Li Hongyu.
As a dignified county lord, Zhu Wanting naturally has the pride and dignity of a royal lady, so she doesn't want Li Hongyu to know the care and gaffe she showed in order to save Li Hongyu before.
To be honest, even Zhu Wanting herself didn't know what was wrong with her, and she didn't care to save Li Hongyu, a stranger who only had one side.
"Send Childe." Li Hongyu did not move, but bowed down to see Zhu Wanting leave.
"You're not leaving?" Zhu Wanting was slightly stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but turn around and look at Li Hongyu with some surprise, could it be that if Li Hongyu wanted to stay here, he would not be afraid that Zhang Quan and them would murder him for the second time.
"Childe, I was brought to prison by Wu Changwei's people because of the matter of Linjianglou, so I can't leave before the case is concluded, otherwise I will definitely be criticized by the outside world, and it will be unfavorable to the case at that time." Li Hongyu bowed to Zhu Wanting and said with a serious expression, "People are terrible, I hope the son will forgive me!" ”
Zhu Wanting frowned slightly when she heard this, although she thought that Li Hongyu was too pedantic, and now that her eyebrows are burning, what kind of people are terrifying?
However, Zhu Wanting had to admit that Li Hongyu was reasonable, if Li Hongyu left with him, it would be no different from "escaping from prison", which would not be beneficial to Li Hongyu.
Although Zhu Wanting is not afraid of the little Wuchangwei, in the final analysis, the Chu Wangfu has no military and political power in Wuchang City, so if she takes Li Hongyu away like this, it is tantamount to violating the laws of the imperial court, and Li Hongyu will inevitably be criticized by the outside world, and then leave a bad impression on people.
Obviously, Li Hongyu wanted to leave Wuchangwei Prison in a dignified manner, and did not want to do anything that would damage the glory and reputation of a literati.
"You take someone to stay and watch him well, and if anyone wants to be unfavorable to him, kill him!" Therefore, Zhu Wanting pondered for a while and then said to a guard on the side with a cold expression.
Since Li Hongyu didn't want to leave, she was unwilling to force him to leave with her, after all, it was better for Li Hongyu to stay in the long run, and she believed that Zhang Quan and the others would not dare to fight Li Hongyu's idea again, otherwise it would be a provocation to the Chu Palace.
Of course, if Zhang Quan insists on going his own way, then Zhu Wanting doesn't mind letting his guards fight with Zhang Quan's people, and it's a big deal to go to the Jinluan Palace and let Emperor Wanli administer justice.
After explaining the guard, Zhu Wanting glanced at Li Hongyu, walked out of the torture room, and left Wuchangwei with Zhu Shengchang, and his steps were extremely relaxed compared to when he came.
Liu Yi personally sent Zhu Wanting and Zhu Shengchanggong outside the gate, then stretched out his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and ordered his subordinates to take Li Hongyu back to the prison with a serious expression, and never neglect Li Hongyu.
From what happened in the torture room, Liu Yi easily guessed that Zhu Wanting was a county lord, although Zhu Wanting's men's clothing was impeccable, but her words and deeds when she rescued Li Hongyu could not hide from Liu Yi's eyes, exposing her daughter.
For this reason, Liu Yi secretly congratulated Li Hongyu that he was able to escape death, otherwise Zhu Wanting, who had a close relationship with Li Hongyu, would definitely not be able to spare him.
For Liu Yi, the current situation is not bad, Zhu Shengchang and Zhu Wanting did not take him away together and hand him over to the governor Yamen for investigation, which gave him time to deal with the aftermath.
Wu Changwei, the hall of the back house.
"It's the King of Hanchang County of Wuchang Mansion!" Cui Gongzi looked at Liu Yi with some surprise, he never expected that the other party's origin would be so big, not to mention him, even his father had to give three points to Zhu Shengchang, but it was not something he could afford to provoke.
"Has the surname Li really come back to life?" Then, Cui Gongzi asked with a look of disbelief, he felt that this matter was too weird, it was incredible.
"If it weren't for the fact that the official saw it with his own eyes and couldn't believe it, the head of the Li case was obviously dead, but the people of the Chu Palace's Mansion used a secret method that I didn't know where I learned to revive him."
Liu Yi nodded solemnly, the scene of Li Hongyu's awakening still made him feel palpitations, in his opinion, this kind of resurrection can only be done by ghosts and gods.
As for Zhu Wanting's matter, Liu Yi naturally has to skip it, he is not stupid, the Chu Wangfu is in Wuchang City, so this kind of nonsense about the county lord cannot be talked about, otherwise it will be asking for trouble.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a secret method in the Chu Palace!" At this time, Zhang Quan, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, couldn't help but say expressionlessly, the news that Liu Yi brought back really surprised him, but the Chu Wangfu has a history of more than two hundred years, and there must be many unknown secrets in the mansion.
What particularly troubled Zhang Quan was that Zhu Shengchang's intervention suddenly made him passive, in case Zhu Shengchang clung to the murder of Li Hongyu, then things would be bad, and even the nobles could not afford to destroy the imperial examination, and that would undoubtedly shake the foundation of the Ming officialdom.
"Little Marquis, I don't think the king of Hanchang County wants to make a big deal about Li Hongyu, otherwise Lord Liu won't be able to come back." Cui Gongzi pondered for a while and said to Zhang Quan, "After all, it is approaching the township test now, if Li Hongyu's matter breaks out, it will inevitably affect the township test, and no one can afford this crime at that time." ”
"You mean, they gave Lord Liu a step, and they wanted to make big things small and small things." Zhang Quan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, he didn't want to provoke Zhu Shengchang.
"That's how it should be." Cui Gongzi nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart, originally Zhang Quan was still holding the upper hand, but as soon as Zhu Shengchang appeared, the situation reversed, making Zhang Quan restless, like sitting on pins and needles.
Then, Cui Gongzi remembered something and looked at Liu Yi with an expressionless face, "Lord Liu, Ma Qianhu was smashed by the people of the Chu Palace's mansion and murdered Li Hongyu on the spot, I'm afraid his life can't be saved, you have to deal with the aftermath and don't leave any trouble." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, this official knows how to do it." Liu Yi's eyes flashed with a look of helplessness, and he bowed to Cui Gongzi and replied, I am afraid that there is no better way to do it now, they always have to give an explanation to the Chu Palace.
