Chapter 599: She's the One You Can't Afford to Mess With
Liu Chu also felt that today's Shen Zhongbai seemed to have a strong reaction, after all, for ordinary prisoners, he did the same, he couldn't just treat him differently because he used to be a concubine, besides, in the past so many years, I don't know how many cases have been wronged, is it possible that he is a businessman and can't be tried?
When Gu Yan was brought out, his body was already scarred, but all the whips were drawn on his limbs, and after the two guards took him out, he casually threw him on the ground, as if he didn't care about this human life at all.
Shen Zhongbai couldn't stand it at all, and personally stepped forward to help Gu Yan, which made Liu Chu feel a little surprised, how could the emperor have made such a move to anyone? Liu Chu didn't understand very well, but he faintly felt in his heart that he might not be able to solve this matter so easily today, could it be that he really committed Tai Sui like this, and he was in a frown that he shouldn't have, and he offended someone who shouldn't be offended?
"Liu Chu, as far as I know, you don't seem to have any evidence at all, without any evidence, who allowed you to lynch, and who gave you such power?"
"Your Majesty, the lower officials have already said that this kind of thing often happens in the military department, and we have used this method since a long time ago when we interrogated prisoners,"
"Really? Then I asked the following Mr. Liu, what kind of prisoners were the prisoners in the previous trial, and what kind of things did the prisoners you want to try this time for? Could it be that the second son of the Gusu family has already determined that he is killing people and setting fires, or something else? I did it, and I just ordered you to investigate it, so why did you use lynching? ”
"After investigating the truth, it should be handed over to other government offices to investigate what happened, when will it be your turn to use private acts in this place."
"The Ministry of War did get the permission of the first emperor to set up a prison in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, but did the first emperor tell you that it can always be carried out on people without any evidence, let alone torture? This time, you don't have any certainty, this matter is an ugly thing that you didn't want to convince yourself, and it is already embarrassing enough to say it in front of outsiders, and it will also cause the royal family to be embarrassed with you, it's not good for you, and you even pulled an unrelated person to take the blame, don't you feel ashamed? ”
Liu Chu didn't expect that he would make such a big storm just by arresting such a small businessman, and he didn't expect the emperor to be so angry about this matter this time, could it be that the emperor still had the heart to protect the Gusu family, could it be that he really caught the wrong person this time?
"The emperor said that the lower official did not say that there was no evidence, but the lower official had already asked among the people in the palace, the female doctor and the charlatan who were related to that incident at that time all set up stalls near the Lingyin Pavilion, how could they have nothing to do with the people of the Lingyin Pavilion? The owner of Lingyin Pavilion has not been here for this time, and the only one who is suspicious is not the second son? The lower official also acted in accordance with the rules and regulations, and never harmed the lives of others, besides, even just now, the lower official
did not kill this Gusu son, just to make him admit the crimes he had committed, and the lower officials did not know what was wrong with doing so, and asked the emperor to make it clear. ”
"And let me make it clear, what do you mean by that? Do you do all kinds of things? Do you want me to clean it up for you? ”
"The lower officials are unknown, please ask the emperor to make it clear."
"Okay, then tell me now, if those two people set up a stall at the door of your military department book, it means that this matter is all the responsibility of your military department book, then if this is really the case, then the lady in your house is not even more suspicious? Why is it that the lady who was locked up in your house and the lady who said that she was sick and went back to the doctor are all fine, but you want to offend a person who has nothing to do with this matter? ”
Shen Zhongbai obviously had no way to accept Liu Chu's sophistry, Gu Huai'an had already said that when Liu Chu was doing this, he didn't have any basis at all, and there was not even the slightest evidence to prove that those two things had anything to do with Lingyin Pavilion, so he casually arrested the people of Lingyin Pavilion, if it was spread out, wouldn't the people on the street want to laugh at him Bei'anguo, and he didn't have the slightest reason at all, he would only be beaten into a move, not to mention that this time Liu Chu, the person who wanted to fight was Gu Yan.
Seeing this appearance and being beaten and scarred, Shen Zhongbai was really angry, not to mention that Liu Chu now relied on himself to be the secretary of the military department of the first emperor, and he dared to put up a fight with himself, which really made him angry, this Liu Chu knew that he had some stammers with himself at the last banquet, but this time, he obviously asked him to investigate these things, but he insisted on finding a scapegoat, which really disappointed him.
"If Lord Liu thinks that you are doing this right, then don't say anything, even if you like to do a good job over there, it's just that this person is not something you offended, he has the gold medal I gave him, just like Zheng, no matter who it is, there is no way to do anything to him? Although he has dissolved the marriage contract with the royal family, this does not mean that his token is invalid, so Lord Liu, you can be regarded as contempting my imperial power, for the sake of Lord Liu's bent on investigating the case, I will reluctantly spare you this time, but I really don't want anything to happen again, and I also hope that Lord Liu understands in his heart what kind of people can be offended and what kind of people can't be offended. ”
Although he didn't expect such a thing to happen when he gave Gu Yan a gold medal, Shen Zhongbai didn't expect that the gold medal would be so useful one day, looking at Gu Chang who was almost unable to move on the ground, Shen Zhongbai suddenly felt a little distressed, to be honest, there was no one trustworthy around him anymore, but no matter how long it took, the woman in front of him was still so attractive to him, maybe because he didn't cherish it before, Now the opportunity to be alone with her has become extremely precious.
"Are you okay?" Shen Zhongbai noticed that the person in his arms was still conscious, so he hurriedly talked to her, lest she lose consciousness all of a sudden, and she didn't even know who saved her.
Gu Yan really knew who saved him, but it was already expected that Shen Zhongbai would come to save him, his brother was not stupid, and his brother naturally knew that no one could save him except Shen Zhongbai in this situation.
But seeing him coming, she was almost able to relax, the injuries on her body were so painful that now, she had no way to calm down and listen to what the person in front of her was saying? I just want to end this as soon as possible, anyway, Liu Chu doesn't have any evidence of what he has done in his hands now, and Shen Zhongbai has already come over, which means that Shen Zhongbai already knows that he was caught in this place for some reason, and he should not let this matter pass easily.
As a ruler, this is not justice, after all, this is what he should do, he must not force himself to promise him anything because of this, not to mention that he has such an ignorant military department secretary under him, maybe it will become a big disadvantage for him in the future, and he can be regarded as sacrificing half of his life this time to help him detect such a person.
"I'm fine, thank you, Emperor."
Anyway, Shen Zhongbai already knew his identity, and for his current self, Shen Zhongbai's various things just became a debt and possessiveness to himself, and there was no need for him to express any gratitude.
"It's okay, if you're tired, just rest for a while, I'll take care of the things here."
Looking at her now, Shen Zhongbai also felt a little distressed, since marrying Shen Qianshan, Shen Zhongbai could also see that Gu Yan had indeed suffered a lot, which strengthened his determination to take her away, he always firmly believed that no one could give Gu Yan the happiness she wanted except himself, not even Shen Qianshan.
accidentally killed the child in Gu Yan's womb back then, and she still feels very sorry for Bai Bai, but if she is willing to become her concubine, this will never happen.
"If you're tired, take a break." This is already the most gentle thing that Shen Zhongbai can say now, he didn't think that the woman he had always wanted to protect would end up like this because of his own momentary negligence, it seems that this time, after the incident, he should find an opportunity to take her into the palace.
I haven't seen her for so long, and there are already more women around me, and sometimes, I even have a feeling that Shen Qiang Rose can replace her.
It happened so suddenly, that even Shen Qianshan had just gotten the news when this matter was about to end, and he didn't care about what he was busy with, so he hurried back to the capital, but what he didn't expect was the news that Gu Yan was already seriously injured and lying in the house to recuperate.
"What's going on? Why did this happen all of a sudden? Didn't you say everything was normal at the time? ”
