Chapter 80: She Passed Away, Yin and Yang Separated
"Regarding the case of embezzlement of flood relief money in Fengping County that year...... Does the girl know anything? Zi Xiangzhi stared at Fang Yu and asked.
Fang You was stunned, how could he know that this matter was related to him? Could it be that Ah Qi told him about his background? She asked tentatively, "What do Lord Shangshu know?" ”
"If the girl tells me everything she knows about it, then I will know it too." The Way of Purple Fragrance.
"I mean......" Fang Yu paused, "what do you know about me?" ”
"About you?" The Way of Purple Fragrance, "What do you mean by girl?" ”
Fang You smiled, "It seems that I have misunderstood what Lord Shangshu meant. "It seems that Zi Xiangzhi doesn't know her background. Or did Ah Qi not tell him about it, he investigated it himself, but he didn't find out his own background? Regarding this, she still chose to believe Xue Qi.
"Would you like to say?" Zi Xiangzhi saw what Fang Yu was thinking, thinking that she was thinking about it, so she continued to ask.
"How did Lord Shangshu assume that I must know about this?" Fang You asked rhetorically.
"This ......," said Zixiang, "and I won't hide it from the girl." At the beginning, the person sent by the emperor to investigate the corruption case was called Wei An, who was the father of Yu Sheng Wei Qinghuan. We found out that this incident was related to Zhang Qingyuan, but we have been suffering from no strong evidence, and there is no way to convict Zhang Qingyuan. I came to him a few days ago and told him to let me know if he had news. Then I got a message from him, saying that the girl knew something, but there was really no way, so I came to the girl......"
Fang You couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, it turned out that it was really Ah Qi who said it. But he doesn't blame him, he must also be bent on avenging his master.
Fang Yu let out a long sigh, and Xiao Qibai's face suddenly appeared in his eyes again. Master...... Brother...... Guardforce ...... Shi family......
Zi Xiangzhi saw Fang You's expression and knew that she must know something, so she took out a token from her arms, "Girl, you take this." Tomorrow in the main hall, we will present those insufficient evidence to the emperor, can we cause Zhang Qingyuan to die......" Zi Xiangzhi said and sighed, "If the girl thinks about it, she will take this token into the palace tomorrow, and help us to help you expose Zhang Qingyuan's crimes." ”
After Zi Xiangzhi finished speaking, he left. Shi Nian stood there blankly with the token, after that incident, she had been living in the shadows all these years. She looked at the token in her hand, was this a relief or another sea of suffering for her?
Xiao Qibai stared at the wall in prison, he never thought that Common Sense Jade would come to see him again.
"Your Highness!" Seeing her coming, Xiao Qibai hurriedly got up, his eyes full of surprise.
Common sense jade held a wooden box in his hand and motioned to the jailer to open the cell door, "This is ...... I sent someone to make it, and you can eat it. ”
Xiao Qibai took the wooden box in the hand of Common Sense Jade, "Your Highness, how did you get in?" They...... Got it all? ”
Common sense jade nodded, "There is no need to hide it from them anymore." It's just that you ......" she looked at Xiao Qibai, his hair was messy, his clothes were torn, only his eyes looking at her were still the same as many years ago, "Tomorrow they will tell the emperor about this in the main hall." You ......"
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely come as planned, and there will be no mistakes." Xiao Qibai looked at the common sense jade and said word by word.
Common sense jade nodded, "Do you still want to meet Ah Yu and them?" ”
Xiao Qibai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's enough for them to remember my best appearance, I don't have to worry them about it now." I don't want them to worry about me any more. ”
Common sense jade still wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and left.
Xiao Qibai knew that this would probably be the last time he would see her. The jailer locked the door, and he stood in his cell, looking at her. She walked very resolutely.
The next day, the main hall.
"Zhang Aiqing, now that the human and physical evidence are in front of you, do you still want to say anything?" The voice of the constant inquiry came from the top of the main hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was gloomy, and everyone was sitting and waiting for Zhang Qingyuan to speak. But it seems that Zhang Qingyuan does not have the intention of speaking.
After a while, Zixiang Zhicai spoke, breaking the quiet breathing sound in the palace, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, let Xiao Qibai explain it clearly." ”
"Xiao Qibai, you say it first." Frequently inquired.
"Yes." Xiao Qibai knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said, "Lord Zhang told me to take the opportunity to contact the leaders of the Xu Li clan at that time, and be sure to outflank King Rui left and right and put him to death. If it doesn't work, they will forge evidence that King Rui and the leaders of the Xu Li clan are communicating with each other to rebel, and aim at King Rui. Lord Zhang also gave the minister this ......," Xiao Qibai said, taking out Zhang Qingyuan's token from his arms, "said that it was to win the trust of the leader of the Xu Li clan." ”
At this time, a eunuch brought the token to Chang Xun. Chang Xun glanced at the token, slapped the table, and said, "Be bold and open, collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime, don't you plan to open your mouth now!" ”
I saw Zhang Qingyuan just walked out, he stood there straight, as if he didn't have the slightest need to be afraid, "Your Majesty, you just sat on this dragon chair," he looked up at Chang Xun with a smile, and then continued, "Are you in such a hurry to get rid of the old minister?" ”
"Bold!" Chang asked, "When you say this, are you saying that I am a black and white dumb king?" Now that the human and material evidence are here, how do you want to deny it? ”
Zhang Qingyuan glanced at Zi Xiangzhi and Chang Yan next to him, and said, "The minister knows that the minister is old, and he can't assist the emperor well." But why did the emperor bother to find someone to kill all the ministers? ”
"Zhang Qingyuan, don't talk about him left and right. The emperor is asking you, first admit your guilt. Zi Xiangzhi said on the side.
I heard Zhang Qingyuan suddenly laugh, "Lord Zi, don't worry. Why should I confess to a trumped-up charge? ”
As he spoke, he took out a golden token from his bosom and held it high. I saw that the token was written on it, "Governor of the Pure World, Imperial Gift."
Not only Xiao Qibai, but also Zi Xiangzhi, Chang Yan, Chang Xun, and Common Sense Jade, who was secretly hiding outside the main hall, were shocked when they saw that brand.
"Your Majesty, my brand is here." Zhang Qingyuan said slowly, then looked at Xiao Qibai, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I don't know where this subordinate of mine got the fake brand, why do you say that I instructed him to do this?" ”
Xiao Qibai looked at him hatefully, it would never be the princess who lied to him, it must have been this Zhang Qingyuan who had discovered something a long time ago, so he deliberately left a hand. He knelt on the ground, still did not change his words, and continued, "Your Majesty, it must be that Lord Zhang was afraid of affecting himself and gave the minister a fake token. What the minister said before this was the truth, and he did not deceive His Majesty! ”
"Your Majesty, now the certified physical evidence is all fake, which shows that this Xiao Qibai deliberately framed the old minister!" Zhang Qingyuan looked at Xiao Qibai fiercely.
"Zhang Aiqing ......"
Chang Xun wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Qingyuan, "Your Majesty, since it wasn't the old minister's doing." These letters are evidence of the collusion between Xiao Qibai and the leaders of the Naxuli tribe. Now that his dirty evidence has been discovered, he deliberately framed the old minister. ”
"This ......" Chang Xun's brows were about to wrinkle together.
"Your Majesty, what is the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, this doesn't need to be said by the minister, right?" Zhang Qingyuan said loudly, "Your Majesty, haven't you made an order yet?" ”
Fang You was lying in bed, he hadn't slept all night, had so many people's lives been put into it in vain? What the hell is she running away from? Is it afraid of death, or do you want to live like this?
"Sister Ayu, come out and have some morning food." At this time, Ji Hui suddenly knocked on the door and shouted.
Fang You turned over and got out of bed and opened the door, and Ji Hui was standing at the door. She was chilled by Ah Yi and Ah Hui betraying her last night, but now that she saw Ji Hui's smiling face, she thought that she hadn't been hiding from them for so long? So I don't think there's anything wrong with them doing this.
"By the way, Sister Ayu, when I went to call Sister Shi Nian to get up just now, I didn't see her answer, I don't know if she hasn't woken up or is not in the room." Ji Hui said and glanced at Shi Nian's room.
Hearing Ji Hui's words, Fang You faintly felt a little uneasy, "I'll take a look." She walked quickly to Shi Nian's door, knocked on the door and shouted inside. But I never saw anyone in the house say yes.
The uneasiness in Fang You's heart became stronger and stronger, and she motioned for Ji Hui to stand farther away, and then slammed into it. The door slammed open.
Shi Nian hung straight in the air, and the rope around his neck stopped turning.
"Big sister!" This was the first time Fang You had called her sister again since that year, but she couldn't hear it anymore, if she heard it, she would definitely laugh and call her the third sister again.
Ji Hui covered his mouth, his eyelids trembled with tears, like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
When the two of them put Shi Nian down, Xue Qi also rushed over, even if the man saw this scene, he would inevitably be touched in his heart, not to mention that the person who died was the person who had been with them day and night.
Fang You's heart was full of fear, this was the second time in her life that she had seen her loved ones leave, and she couldn't do anything. She was scared, but she couldn't cry at all, she hugged Shi Nian, and her mind kept coming up with what she looked like before she was alive.
Suddenly, Xue Qi's voice came, "Sister Ayu, there is a letter here." He took the letter to Fang You.
Fang You took the letter, it was Shi Nian's note, she rubbed it, and then slowly opened the letter. I saw that only one sentence was written on the letter, "Third sister, no matter what decision you make, you will always be my third sister." ”
Seeing these words, Fang You's heart felt like someone had punched him with cotton, and tears flowed intermittently.
"Sister Shi Nian refers to...... That thing? Xue Qi saw it and said, "Could it be that sister Shi Nian ...... it?"
"Ah, come, take a hand, help me carry my sister to the bed." Fang You didn't answer Xue Qi's words.
Xue Qi hurriedly helped Fang You carry Shi Nian to the bed, "Sister Ayou, I'm sorry......"
"I'm sorry what?" Fang You wiped away his tears and looked at him, "If it were me, I would also think about avenging my master, you told Zi Xiangzhi about this, it was your choice." Besides, I have something to hide from you, and I'm sorry for you. ”
"Tell Zi Xiangzhi?" Xue Qi thought for a moment before continuing, "Sister Ayu, believe it or not, I didn't tell Zi Xiangzhi about this. Then he lowered his head, "Although I thought so...... But, Sister Ayu, you are the one who is with us, and Master is no longer there. I'm stupid, but I'm not confused...... Sister Ayu, believe me, I ......"
Fang You was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly relieved, "Ah Qi, if you say no, there is no one, I believe you." After speaking, she patted Xue Qi's shoulder, then looked at Ji Hui again, and said, "Sister's body, get rid of you and bury it well." At the end, he added, "I'm with her." ”
"Sister Ayu, where are you going?" Ji Hui stopped Fang You, who was about to go out.
"Do something you have to do." Fang You said and left.
"What has to be done?" Xue Qi's way.
"What did Sister Ayu mean when she said she was with Sister Shi Nian just now?" Ji Hui said.
"It's broken!" Only then did Xue Qi react, "Sister Ayu may not come back!" ”
