Chapter 743 Responsibility

Such an appalling thing happened in front of my eyes...... Everyone felt like they must be having a nightmare.

"Master, who has that much courage?"

That's a good question, who has that much guts. In fact, almost everyone has the answer in their mind. But why? Why......

Although Xiao Ying knew that under the rule of imperial power, human life was like a mustard, but it was really sensational to hurt the lives of thousands of people so easily. Although she doesn't like Emperor Geng, the main reason is that Feng Geng treats Feng Ge unfairly. As for his behavior in political affairs, Xiao Ying didn't feel how dull he was, at most he relied on Xie Xiang, who would only slap his beard. It's not a fatal problem, after all, how many emperors in history have been like this. But if these people really died under the imperial order of Emperor Geng, then she really had to 'look at it differently' for Feng Geng, who lacked political affairs and discipline her son.

"Does Xie Jixin have such guts? Thousands of people......" Miao Qian asked himself.

Jia Jun wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that everything he said was pale. At this point, nothing can be changed. Only, only...... He didn't really know what to do.

Do you want to investigate this thoroughly?

Emperor Geng's 20-year-old case...... These words are too heavy.

Even if the truth is revealed, I am afraid that it will eventually sink into the sea. Jia Jun didn't even dare to think that if this news was revealed, how turbulent the imperial court would be?

Feng Ge first ascended to the throne, and his foothold was not stable.

If such a shocking case breaks out again...... "Master, Emperor Geng's twenty-year-old case...... Let's just let it remain a mystery. The subordinates know that this is unfair to those people, but if the truth is really found out, what can be done to shake the country? Lou Xiang, I know that you and Xie Ji are at odds. Xie Jixin will definitely die, but this case, can you ask Lou Xiang not to get to the bottom of it. Jia Jun knew that he had trespassed. But someone has to say it.

Feng Ge and Xiao Ying couldn't say it.

It is inconvenient for Feng Yi and others to protect their identities.

Only these henchmen who followed Xiao Ying early can open such an opening.

Jia Jun looked at Nie Xuan. Since entering Beijing, Nie Xuan has become more and more low-key. In addition to doing the things that Xiao Ying explained, he almost didn't leave home.

But Nie Xuan's ability, Jia Jun is clear. If he wanted to, it was also possible to pay homage to the king. At this time, Jia Jun hoped that Nie Xuan would be able to speak, and Nie Xuan's words would be more effective than him and Miao Xiaogongzi.

Whether it's in front of Feng Ge or in front of Xiao Ying. Nie Xuan has more weight. Nie Xuan seemed to exhale lightly, and finally opened his mouth coldly under the expectant gaze of Jia Jun and the others. "The truth needs to be checked...... But it can't be made public. Jia Jun almost didn't mention it in one breath, but fortunately, Nie Xuan made up for it in the latter sentence.

Nie Xuan looked at Lou Baiyun and said.

Lou Baiyun felt bitter in his heart.

He thought, if he had known...... If he had known that this would be the result, maybe he wouldn't have mentioned the twenty-year-old case of Emperor Geng in the palace. Of course, he can vent his evil anger, but if he ignores the stability of the world...... He became a hero of the Lou family, but he became a sinner in the world.

He had prioritized, and since the bones had washed up on the riverbank, he knew that the case was destined to be an unsolved case. The mystery of the disappearance of the people of Tongguan is destined to be sealed in the long scroll of history.

He just felt a heavy heart. He wanted to know what was going on. In the end, thousands of people died.

"Nie Gongzi is right. At the moment, this matter should not be publicized. Kechen wanted to know, back then...... What the hell is going on? ”

"That's nature, and I want to know." Once Feng Ge called himself I, he did not speak as Feng Ge, but as the new emperor. He looked at Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying nodded. "I can probably guess a few points, but if I want to find out the final truth of the matter, I still have to go back to Beijing."

Such a big deal......

It's not something that just a few people can do. If it was really Xie Jixin's doing, he must have called a lot of manpower back then.

He couldn't kill everyone, so they were investigating in the wrong direction.

There must be someone, someone in the imperial court must be involved in this matter. Xiao Ying didn't believe that Xie Jixin would dare to do such a great evil just by relying on Emperor Geng's secret decree.

Even if Emperor Geng secretly instructed him, with Xie Jixin's temperament, I am afraid that he would rather choose to run away secretly and survive secretly than dare to kill the killer. They only saw a few hundred corpses and felt devastated, what kind of human tragedy it must have been when these people were pushed into the river.

That's not something just anyone can afford.

Therefore, Xie Jixin has complicity.

In other words, Emperor Geng did not believe Xie Jixin as much as he appeared.

"As I said, if something happens, it will leave a trail. It is impossible for all the people involved to be wiped out, and if everyone is wiped out, then it will be even more difficult to cover up. On the contrary, those involved were promised high-ranking officials to keep their mouths shut. The witnesses we are looking for are not these unjust souls buried at the bottom of the Tongjiang River, but the people who participated in this matter back then. ”

Xiao Ying's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Oh, yes. With such a large formation, it is naturally impossible for Xie Xiang to do it alone. There must be someone who is directing the people to do it with Xie Xiang.

And I'm afraid there will be no shortage of manpower.

"Bai Yun. You're in charge of finding out who was here and there. As long as they are still alive, send people to inquire about them one by one. If you find a suspicious person, you will immediately bring it back to the capital. ”

Lou Baiyun's deep voice should be.

"Ah Xuan, you are good at kung fu, go to the rivers and lakes to find out. Is there a participation of people in the rivers and lakes? I'm afraid those soldiers won't give in to this kind of thing. I think there must be another force taking the lead...... I know that there are people who can do anything if they pay enough money. You can keep your mouth shut after you finish it. I think it's cheaper to find them. Nie Xuan took a deep look at Feng Ge, since the two of them started because of Xiao Ying, Feng Ge had never called him Ah Xuan again.

They are actually good brothers.

He admires, envies, and admires Xiao Ying. In fact, it is very complicated, and it is not a simple relationship between men and women.

After Xiao Ying and Feng Ge got married, they moved into the palace. He actually didn't think of Xiao Ying very often, but remembered the naughty Moon Princess more...... Of course, Nie Xuan would never say these words to others.

He actually cherishes Feng Ge as a friend. So this Ah Xuan made Nie Xuan's heart tremble.

"Yes." He replied in a deep voice.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and everyone hurried back to Tongguan City.

Then, without waiting for a break, the guards who explored the way came to report that the water level of the Tongjiang River continued to rise, and that it was about to burst the embankment, and if they continued to stay in the city, they were afraid that they would encounter danger.

So the team hurried out of the city and rushed to the high ground that the guards had found in the morning.

After a period of chaotic resettlement, only to hear an explosion in the distance.

The Tongjiang River burst its banks. The flood roared with an unstoppable momentum. Quickly poured into Tongguan City.

In just half an earthquake, the once bustling town was completely submerged in the flood.

"These people can finally rest in peace. Therefore, Tongguan City was swallowed by the Tongjiang River. Sometimes I don't want to believe this, but I find that this is the only way to explain it. Tongguan was built more than 100 years ago, and the Tongjiang River has been flooded several times, but none of them can completely submerge Tongguan City. But today, Tongguan City sank into the Tongjiang River in front of our eyes. Even if the river recedes, Tongguan City is blistered and unpresentable. Mixed with these bones, they may never be separated again. ”

Xiao Ying said softly, accompanied by the sound of rain, her voice seemed ethereal, and there was a feeling that reality and dreams overlapped.

Everyone listened in silence.

Oh, yes. Since then, there has been no Tongguan City in the world.

The levee did not flood sooner or later, but it burst when they came.

The bones were not washed out sooner or later, but they were washed out when they went to investigate.

No one can tell if this is a destiny in the dark. "They're finally able to go home." Miao Xiaogongzi sighed lightly.

Miao Qian's words have always been off-topic, and this sentence sounded even more scary, but no one opened his mouth to stop it. yes, they're finally able to go home. Hopefully, their souls rest in peace......

It took three days for the water to slowly recede. Looking at Tongguan City again, it was indeed flooded with mud and sand.

As Xiao Ying said, these bones and the house are mixed together, and they will never be separated again.

Perhaps this is the significance of the Tongguan embankment......

Tongguan is located in the middle of nowhere, so even if the Tongjiang River floods, it does not cause any damage.

It just trapped the group in place. The guards are well prepared, burying the pot and cooking every day, except for the dry firewood that is difficult to find, and the rice is a little sandwiched, everything is quite calm.

Xiao Ying and Feng Ge shrank in the tent and carefully sorted out the facts of the case, both of them believed that this matter must be secretly instructed by Emperor Geng, and then find a reliable person to do it. As for why the people of this city cannot be spared...... It must be that the loss of keeping these people alive is too great. In contrast, Emperor Geng preferred to be reduced to an executioner.

As for the things in the depths, Xiao Ying almost didn't dare to think about it.

Lou Baiyun also stopped mentioning Xie Jixin.

Miao Xiaogongzi no longer stumbles around all day. Jia Jun and Feng Jing finally sat down opposite each other with sad faces, using water as wine to pay tribute to those dead souls.

When the water receded, they could leave, and they had come with great anticipation to find evidence to convict Xie Jixin, but the final result was ......

The moment before leaving, Feng Ge deliberately invited Lou Baiyun to discuss the matter, but this time Xiao Ying avoided it. Afterwards, Feng Ge didn't mention what he said to Lou Baiyun. When the water receded, the group set off for the Tianshan Mountains.

When we came, everyone was fighting and the atmosphere was lively.

When he left, he was silent and lifeless. Xiao Ying was helpless about such an atmosphere, and even she couldn't lift her spirits. Silent all the way, Feng Ge's words are especially few, but the young couple will still snuggle together in the dead of night, even if they don't do anything, they feel a kind of happiness.

There was nothing to say on the road, and after more than ten days, they quietly sneaked back to the prayer procession.

Xiao Ying rushed for several days, and her body was a little unbearable. I slept in the car for a few days before I was relieved.

At this time, the team had reached the bottom of the Tianshan Mountain.

Climb the Tianshan Mountains early tomorrow morning to pray for blessings, and their trip will be over.

That night, Feng Ge took Xiao Ying in his arms. "Before leaving Tongguan, I asked Lou Xiang, would you be disappointed in the Feng family?" “…… No, even if he is disappointed in the Feng Clan, he will never be disappointed in you.

No one is perfect, and there is no one who does not do anything wrong. It's good to know that you can change your mistakes. What's more, what does this matter have to do with you, you were far away in Taiping County at that time. Maybe you don't know that there is a small place called Tongguan in the world. ”

"I really don't know. It's just that now that I have a heavy responsibility, I always feel that I am responsible for all my mistakes. I discussed it with Lou Baiyun and felt that the reason why the people of Tongguan were finally buried in the Tongjiang River must be related to what was suddenly discovered in the Tongjiang River. I suspect that it may shake the rule of the Feng clan, and even point out that the first emperor was unkind, and the first emperor ascended the throne in the first place, and the means were not very glorious. This thing is his reverse scale. Whoever dares to touch it will surely die. ”

"Even if it is related to the rule of the first emperor, he is so one-size-fits-all, he has buried thousands of lives at once, fifth brother, I really don't know how to do such a thing in order to stabilize the rule, and most of it may be just rumors, but to hurt thousands of innocent people."

“…… I probably can't be called human anymore. That's why the first emperor will linger ~ on the sickbed over the years. This is retribution. ”

"When I think of someone who has killed thousands of people, but still has a good name, I feel that the world is unfair. I also know that saying this kind of thing will only shake the roots, but if I hide it in my heart for a lifetime...... It's too hard. Feng Ge was silent.

He was lonely all the way, thinking about this is not this. Lou Baiyun was finally silent, the smug Feng Jing was finally silent, and Jia Jun, Nie Xuan and other henchmen who followed Xiao Ying could be silent. But the truth is never truly silent.

It's right there.

Even if Xiao Ying said, if this matter was really instructed by the first emperor.

Then why does he still maintain the name of a virtuous king.

Will his world be shaken so easily?

"I see. Sakura, thank you. Xiao Ying didn't know what she said, and she didn't understand what Feng Ge understood.

The next day, Feng Ge personally led Xiao Ying to the Tianshan Mountain, step by step. With every step, Feng Ge said forgiveness in his heart.

After five thousand paces, he confessed to the five thousand innocent people who had died in vain.

After a full five thousand steps, he confessed to the ancestor of the Feng family. He could ...... will become the unfilial descendant of the Feng family.

Capital.

Yun Chi received Feng Ge's five-hundred-mile urgent paperwork, and after reading it, he felt that the whole person was not good. Something like that happened! He didn't even notice it, which shows that his kung fu of fishing in troubled waters in those years has been perfect. He gave himself a slap, let this slap wake him up, in his position, do nothing, and immerse himself in his small injuries and pains every day. I feel that he is the most pitiful in the world. is obviously a prince, but he has been ridiculed since he was a child.

Eventually, his mother couldn't bear to leave him.

His maternal grandfather scolded him for being a broom star, although in the end he relied on his own ability to become a retainer.

Even Emperor Geng couldn't hurt him.

But after all, he owes the world......

The thousands of people in Tongguan, if he was more vigilant, maybe the ending would not be so miserable.

On the same day, Yun Chi went to the prison of the Criminal Department and saw Xie Jixin, who had been imprisoned. Xie Jixin changed his past cowardice and cowardice, and when he saw Yun Chi, he sneered lightly. "Yo, what kind of wind is blowing, it actually blew Master Yun to the prison of the Criminal Department."
