Chapter 282: Is There Any Problem?
Xia Qingtong knew that it was impossible for her to persuade Liu Mulan to trust her with those few words.
But time waits for no one. As soon as she thought of Ming Yue's experience, she couldn't bear that he continued to carry such a reputation.
She couldn't help but think, how much truth is recorded in the historical materials?
It's not just that I want to restore my innocence. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Soon after the year, it is the spring festival.
With the status of Yin Taishi, I think it is the main exam of Chunqiu. When the time comes, I don't know how many protΓ©gΓ©s he will have to recruit.
The greater the power of the Yin family, the more difficult it is to bring him down.
Liu Mulan bit her lip, intellectually she knew that she had to believe Xia Qingtong, but emotionally, she was afraid.
"Miss Liu, can you please believe me?" Xia Qingtong turned around and held her hand: "I must, I will, I won't let the Yin family father and son be so proud." As long as you will let me see your father. β
Liu Mulan's face flashed with bitterness: "Miss Xia, do you know? I used to have a younger brother. Before we fled to the capital this time, Zheng Xing's people came to the door and asked my father to hand over the account books, but my father refused. They took my brother and made my father submit. β
"Zheng Xing promised to give my father three days to think about it, and my father ostensibly agreed, but actually handed over the account book to my mother and asked my mother to take me to Beijing and find someone to redress my grievances. But I didn't expect that as soon as we got out of Lu City, Zheng Xing's men tortured and killed my brother. Poor my brother, he's only nine years old. β
Xia Qingtong held her hand and couldn't help but tighten. Liu Mulan's eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "My father originally brought a fake account book and wanted to change my brother back, but I didn't expect that my brother would be gone without waiting for him to change it." He had no choice but to flee overnight. Come and join us. In the process of evading Zheng Xing's pursuit, we accidentally rolled off the cliff. Zheng Xing's men thought we were dead, so they didn't continue to hunt us down. β
But what she didn't expect was that among the people who chased and killed them that day, there were people from the Yin Mansion. Otherwise, she would have been more careful today.
"Zheng Xing has been escorted to Beijing. He is now in prison at the Ministry of Punishment. β
Xia Qingtong thought that Emperor Qingren hadn't even dealt with Zheng Xing today, and he felt more and more distressed about Ming Yue.
Didn't Emperor Qingren hate Zheng Xing and them? Apparently not. It's just that compared to cleaning up Zheng Xing and the others, he doesn't want to see Ming Yue even more.
"Miss Liu, Your Majesty has not dealt with Zheng Xing yet. The housekeeper of the Yin Mansion is dead. If there is no more evidence, Zheng Xing will die. But his death will also become worthless. Because there is no way to shake the Yin family in the slightest. β
The Yin family's crime is not just about opening a salt mine.
In order to open a salt mine, the Yin family had the blood of innocent and tragic deaths on their hands.
"You only know that Zheng Xing colluded with the Yin family, but you don't know that they committed heinous crimes. At the foot of the Jade Mountain, a village was destroyed, and adult men were taken up the mountain to work as coolies. The elderly, the weak, women and children lost their families and laborers, and their lives were difficult and even starved to death. Miss Liu, these blood debts must be repaid by the Yin family. β
Liu Mulan's eyes on Xia Qingtong. Her eyes were clear, firm, compassionate, and sympathetic to anger.
Closing her eyes, she finally opened her mouth.
"Miss Xia, I'll take you to my father now. It's just that I can make a small request? β
"You say."
"Keep my dad safe."
"Definitely."
Xia Qingtong was about to go outside with Liu Mulan, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped. turned to look at Liu Mulan, with a complicated expression.
"Miss Xia, what's wrong with you?" Take a look at the latest chapter of "I Was an Internet Celebrity Paw Book House in Ancient Times" to read for free for the first time.
