Chapter 117: Behind the Wrongful Crime

"He doesn't say it...... Maybe it's because I'm a nobody. Jiao Yuzhen walked out of the inner room with a faint smile on his face, and while talking, he looked at the little boy sitting on the ground with a stubborn look on his face, "Am I right?" I don't have a name, so I can't answer it. Do you want me to give you a name? You're dirty, and your face is black, so you might as well call it a sunspot. ”

"My name is Gu Xinghui, so I'm not called a sunspot!" The little boy almost shouted out his name, but he was also very smart, as soon as he said this, when he saw the triumphant smile on Jiao Yuzhen's face, he knew that he had been tricked, and his little face suddenly turned red.

Gu Xinghui ...... It's a great name. Jiao Yuzhen looked at Jimo and Ao with a smile, "This kid doesn't look like there's anything to do, so don't keep a straight face." ”

Jimo and Ao raised their eyebrows slightly, they didn't think that the things they couldn't ask would be asked by Jiao Yuzhen in one sentence, but it was not easy to delve into it for the time being, so he still focused on the little boy named Gu Xinghui in front of him: "Gu Xinghui, is it?" What did you hear us say outside? ”

Gu Xinghui looked at Jimo and Ao again, snorted coldly, and spit out three unexpected words in his mouth: "Dog Emperor!" ”

Jiao Yuzhen couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, these three words were often heard in TV and movies before, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to hear them with his own ears, but Jimo and Aocai would not be as happy as Jiao Yuzhen, these three words are simply the biggest insult to him, not to mention that since he ascended the throne, he has been conscientious all the time, how can he accept being abused like this by a little boy?

"Presumptuous!" Jimo and Ao roared angrily, and immediately raised their hands and wanted to hit Gu Xinghui, but they were stopped by Jiao Yuzhen.

"Husband, don't do this." Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly grabbed Jimo and Ao's hands, she knew that Jimo and Ao were good at martial arts, and if she slapped it, she was afraid that it would kill this little boy.

Jimo and Ao gritted their teeth, but still endured their anger, and then looked at Gu Xinghui viciously: "You are a grass people, you actually insult the emperor, this is a capital crime that is full of beheading!" ”

Gu Xinghui's sallow little face showed a fearless smile: "If you are full of slashes, you will be slashed all over the house, anyway, there is no one else in my family except me." You, the dog emperor, have killed my whole family, so it doesn't matter if you kill me too. You should be glad I don't have a knife in my hand, or I'll kill you!" ”

"You ......"

Jiao Yuzhen stopped Jimo and Ao, cast him a slightly calm look, and then looked at Gu Xinghui and said kindly: "Little friend." You insulted the emperor because the emperor killed your whole family? But Qingguo has always governed the country according to law, and the emperor is not a tyrant, if you want to kill people, especially beheading, there must be a reason why you have to do so. Child, have any of your family members sinned? If you commit the crime of beheading all over the house, then you are also to blame. ”

"We are not guilty!" Gu Xinghui shouted at Jiao Yuzhen with his throat, but after shouting this sentence, he flattened his mouth and his eyes turned red, "Daddy just kindly saved someone...... They didn't know that person was a remnant of the previous dynasty...... But the county lord didn't listen to his father's explanation, saying that the emperor ordered that as long as it was related to the remnants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, all the people would be executed, and our family would be beheaded by the whole house...... When the officers and soldiers came, my grandmother risked her life to hide me in the water tank, but she and my grandfather were both taken away and both beheaded......"

"Harbouring a rebel is indeed a crime of beheading." Jimo and Ao also calmed down a little bit of anger, but their tone was still cold, "But generally speaking, the crime of harboring must also be investigated, if it is deliberately harbored, the crime will be punished only if you know the law and break the law, otherwise it will not be sentenced to such a serious sentence as beheading, this is also the law of Qingguo, and no one has been wronged for many years." You keep saying that your father and mother are innocent, but there is evidence? ”

"Absolutely!" Gu Xinghui touched his eyes before continuing to speak, "My grandparents and parents are all honest people, and the people in the village are willing to testify, and the remnants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty were only seriously injured and hid in my pigsty, and then they were arrested by the officers and soldiers...... But the county magistrate said that he didn't believe anything, and he didn't interrogate, so he was convicted......"

"What kind of evidence is this...... Jimo and Ao Leng snorted, and turned their faces away to bother to look at Gu Xinghui again.

Xuanyuan Dynasty......

These four words were not ordinary in Jiao Yuzhen's heart, a light flashed in her apricot eyes, and she asked softly, "How many years ago was this?" ”

Gu Xinghui was stunned, and didn't seem to have thought that Jiao Yuzhen would ask such a question: "The autumn ...... three years ago"

"That's not right, where did you get to do anything about the remnants of the previous dynasty three years ago?" Jimo and Ao suddenly had a strange feeling coming out of their hearts, "Your illusion is not in this Yashao City, right?" ”

"No, it's Tangliao County in the south......"

Jimo and Ao's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly clenched his fists: "Impossible...... It's all my people...... If it was to hunt down the remnants of the former dynasty, they would not have told me, but in the autumn of three years ago...... There is no such thing at all! ”

"In this way, the parents of Gu Xinghui's children are not harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty, but they have seen something that should not be seen and have been used as an excuse to kill them."

Hearing what Jiao Yuzhen said in his ear, Jimo and Ao also knew in their hearts, although Tangliao County in the south is a small place, but it is located in the center of the southern art of war, the year he ascended the throne in addition to dealing with Jimo Hanfei is deploying all this, although on the surface he does not seem to have taboo anyone, but in fact, there is no less preparation behind the scenes, but he is sitting on the throne after all, and there is no way to take care of all the places, but he didn't expect that the other party actually discovered his deployment earlier than himSo who should this person be? What the hell is ......

"Husband." Seeing that Jimo and Ao didn't speak, Jiao Yuzhen thought that he still didn't believe his words, so he spoke in a soft voice, "We want to give Gu Xinghui's little friend justice, but it is also dangerous for us to stay here, why don't we leave for Tangliao County in the south early tomorrow morning, do you think?" ”

"It's just as dangerous for us to go on the road like this......"

"Nope." Jiao Yuzhen interrupted Jimo and Ao's words with a smile, and then staggered over and pulled Gu Xinghui over, "Now that our family of three is on the road, how can it make people suspicious?" I'll ask Xinghui to buy us some ready-to-wear clothes, and we'll all change our dresses, and then take care of a carriage and set off early tomorrow morning. Jiao Yuzhen said this, and looked at Gu Xinghui beside him with a stunned face, "Xinghui, he is the emperor, he is a good emperor, and he will never careless of people's lives." Your father and mother were killed by a traitor, and that person is still coming to harm the emperor. If you don't believe it, you can go with us to Tangliao County in the south and witness the truth with your own eyes. This is the best chance to give your family justice, Starlight, are you willing to gamble once? ”

Gu Xinghui raised his head and looked at Jiao Yuzhen, although Jiao Yuzhen was a head taller than him, he could still see that Jiao Yuzhen's age was not too old, maybe not much older than him, but what he said just now was true, it didn't look like a girl said it, more importantly, the girl in front of her was clearly wearing the clothes of a woman who had not left the cabinet, but she called the emperor her husband, and she could call the emperor her husband Naturally, she was a harem concubine, but ...... He still felt that something was wrong.

Although the man in front of him who claimed to be the emperor and the girl with a very bright brain were very strange, Gu Xinghui hesitated for a moment and agreed with Jiao Yuzhen's proposal: "What you said is very reasonable, I am also willing to go to Tangliao County with you, if you can prove my family's innocence, I implore the emperor to return my family's innocence." ”

Hearing that Gu Xinghui had changed from the title of "Dog Emperor" to the use of the word "pleading", Jimo and Ao's mood was also better, and Jiao Yuzhen's words were very reasonable, since he was unwilling to return to the palace like this now, and then rearrange all the plans, so that the trouble would not know what variables would be, it was better to plan and see what else the people in the capital could do.

"Okay, let's just decide." Jimo and Ao said while taking out a good jade pendant from his arms, as the emperor, the things he carried with him were naturally the best of the best, he was about to give this jade pendant to Gu Xinghui, and then asked him to go to the pawnshop to exchange money, but was stopped by Jiao Yuzhen.

"Husband, since someone is looking for you outside, if your things appear in the pawnshop, you will leak your whereabouts, so it is better to use my things." Jiao Yuzhen took off a snow-white mutton fat white jade bracelet from his wrist, "Xinghui, you help me to the pawnshop, we pawn something, we have silver in our hands, and we also need silver to live in the inn." ”

Although Jimo and Ao pity Jiao Yuzhen, they can't refute it, they didn't put down the silver when they stayed in this inn, but because they were richly dressed, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper naturally wouldn't know that they didn't have any cash on them.

"Then let's get out now." Jiao Yuzhen asked Gu Xinghui to support her body, and then staggered to the outside of the room, although her broken right foot still had a faint pain, but this pain relieved the strange poison on her body very well, her residual heat did not subside, but her spirit was very good.

"Okay." Gu Xinghui is still young, naturally there is no defense between men and women, he supported Jiao Yuzhen's body, although he is thin, but he has grown up rolling in the market, and he has the strength, so he can help Jiao Yuzhen forward very well.

Jiao Yuzhen and Gu Xinghui came out of the room and went down the stairs, just now the shopkeeper came over with a bowl of hot porridge, and was taken aback when they saw Gu Xinghui helping Jiao Yuzhen downstairs.

Jiao Yuzhen also heard the movement outside in the room just now, and when she saw the hot porridge in the shopkeeper's second-hand hand, she smiled at the shopkeeper: "This is my long-lost brother, he has been living around here, and the little brother must have taken care of him." I'm going to go to Yinzhuang to get some silver, and when I come back, I'll give a reward to my brother, and Brother Lao will take care of my brother. Now, please send the porridge to your room first. ”

The shopkeeper was willing to hear that there would be a reward later, so naturally he didn't care about Gu Xinghui's origin, so he nodded again and again, and went upstairs with hot porridge with a smile.

"Sister, is that person really your husband?" Gu Xinghui helped Jiao Yu out of the inn before asking.

"What? Don't you think so? ”

"Not really." Although Gu Xinghui was born in a poor family, he has still seen the wives of rich and noble families, "The ladies in the palace must be the same as the ladies in the big families, which one is not bitter and mean, but sister, you are not like it at all...... If you hadn't said that, I would have run to the yamen and say that person......"

"I can't say that, I think your family must have been killed because of this," Jiao Yuzhen interrupted Gu Xinghui's words, "You have to be careful when you speak later, and I can be sure...... Your family's matter must be an unjust case, but it involves a wide range of people, and if it weren't for your husband, no one would be able to rehabilitate your family. ”

"I see." Gu Xinghui nodded cautiously and didn't say anything about it.

Jiao Yuzhen was actually hungry, but she knew that there were some things that could not be delayed, so she would go out hungry, she and Gu Xinghui did not go directly to the pawnshop, but went to a nearby shop called Jumbo Xuan, which is similar to Jumbo Xuan, both of which sell gold, silver, jewelry and treasures, but the scale is relatively small.

The clothes on Jiao Yuzhen's body are extremely exquisite, the shopkeeper of Zhenbaoxuan is a man over half a hundred years old, when he saw Jiao Yuzhen at first sight, he knew that this woman was from a rich and noble family, even if she was accompanied by a little beggar, she couldn't change her noble temperament, so he greeted him with a very good smile: "What does this young lady want to buy?" Introduce you to the small one? ”
