Chapter 188: An Unfortunate Childhood (1st Update)
When Wu Zhan came back, the night had already sunk, Ye Zhi was guarding the door, and saw Wu Zhan and said, "Miss has already drunk the medicine and slept."
Wu Zhan nodded: "You go to sleep!"
Gently pushed the door in, through the moonlight to see that she slept peacefully, wanted to reach out and touch her, but was afraid of waking her up, watched for a while, went to the couch outside to sleep, this day happened too much, everyone is a little tired.
The night passed quickly, and the Wei family didn't seem to give them time to breathe, early in the morning, as soon as Wu Zhan opened his eyes, he heard a knock on the door outside: "Wu Gongzi!"
Wu Zhan got up, put on his robe and went to open the door: "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhi looked anxious: "Lord Wei is here with those assassins!" Said it was to identify the mastermind! ”
Wu Zhan frowned, it seems that the Wei family is going to force him! Change your shoes: "I'll go."
"But, they have to let the young lady go to the trial."
Wu Zhan went into the house to see Hu Man, and found that she had woken up at some point, and smiled when he saw Wu Zhan: "Let me go!" Otherwise, it can't be justified. ”
Wu Zhan took a deep breath, she really couldn't bear it, but now that she was suspicious, she couldn't refuse with confidence: "Don't worry, with me, I won't let anyone hurt you!"
Wu Zhan sorted out her clothes for her and picked them up easily: "Won't it hurt like this?"
Because he didn't touch the injury and could bear it, Hu Man shook his head: "Let's go!"
When he arrived at the lobby, Wei Qingpeng was sitting on a chair placed under the hall, and there were several prisoners kneeling under the hall, with blood stains on their clothes, which looked like they had been tortured.
Wu Zhan hugged Hu Man and nodded slightly: "My lord, Manman's body is inconvenient, I'm afraid I can't kneel to listen to the trial."
Su Ze glanced at Wei Qingpeng and nodded: "Well, it's accurate."
Wei Qingpeng didn't bother to care about this: "Say what you just said to Master Su again!"
An unkempt man raised his head, glanced at Hu Man and quickly lowered his head: "That's it, it was this woman who went to find us, saying that as long as you kill Wei Gongzi, you will give us a thousand taels!"
Wu Zhan said in a deep voice: "What evidence?!"
Wei Qingpeng snorted coldly: "Isn't the human witness evidence?"
Wu Zhan hugged Hu Man, not showing any difficulty, and spoke with confidence: "Master Su is specialized in investigating and handling cases, and he should know best, if he can convict people in this way, wouldn't it be too easy to frame the blame?"
Su Ze nodded: "It is true that the confession of the witness is naturally important, but it is really a bit reluctant to convict based on words alone."
Wei Qingpeng looked displeased: "Do you mean that this official still came to frame her as the owner of a small restaurant?" There is no injustice and no hatred, what reason does this official have to spend so much effort to go around in circles with her as a woman? ”
Wu Zhan raised the corners of his mouth: "What Master Wei said is very true, there is no injustice and no hatred, I didn't know each other before, and I have no contacts, our restaurant is running well, is it crazy to assassinate a noble son who doesn't know him?" Are we looking for our own death? ”
Wei Qingpeng was choked for a moment, and quickly returned to his normal color: "The people were hired by you, and they also recruited them themselves, what is the purpose, how does this official know?!"
Su Ze said loudly: "This matter really doesn't make sense, so let's do it!" These prisoners will stay in Dali Temple, and the official will personally interrogate them, of course, they will also carefully verify them, and they will give a satisfactory explanation to Lord Wei when the time comes! ”
Wei Qingpeng glanced at a few people in the hall: "This is not very good, right?" Lord Su's son-in-law has a good personal relationship with this suspect. ”
Su Ze's face sank: "Is Lord Wei questioning this official?" I, Su, have been in the position of Dali Temple for a few years, conscientious, and have never had any large-scale unjust cases, no matter who committed the crime, as long as there is conclusive evidence, Su never protects! ”
"Is there something unspeakable about Lord Wei, so that it is inconvenient for others to interrogate these assassins?" Wu Zhan said coldly beside him.
Wei Qingpeng twisted his eyebrows, and gritted his teeth for a while: "Okay!" Then I hope Master Su can review it clearly! ”
After Wei Qingpeng left, Su Ze paced down the hall and looked at a few assassins: "This official is in charge of Dali Temple, he has tried more cases, and he has seen more criminals, when you get to this official, don't think about playing tricks!" If you are interested, you can honestly tell the mastermind behind you, otherwise, this official's wrist is not as soft as Master Wei! ”
"My lord! It's really this woman! We're not talking nonsense! ”
Su Ze smiled: "There is no best!" It's inconvenient here, it's not easy to clean up when you see blood, come and take people to prison! This official will be judged slowly! ”
"Okay, I'm tired after hugging it for so long! Let's send this girl back to her room first! ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Wu Zhan carried Hu Man back to the room, and Hu Man put his arms around his neck: "Does Master Su really believe in us so much?"
"Half and half!"
Hu Man raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"On the one hand, it is naturally because Su Gongzi has the intention of taking care of us, but you forget, Su Fu and the Third Prince are not right! It was about Master Su who mentioned it to Lord Su, and this matter was related to the Third Prince, so Lord Su wanted to find out more! ”
"People who can get mixed up in officialdom at this point don't seem to be simple! There are so many things to worry about, and considering all kinds of factors, this is also tiring! ”
"You feel tired, but some people are just calculating, like to play with power, and turn others in the palm of their hands!"
As she spoke, she had already returned to the room, and Wu Zhan put her down carefully, and Hu Man remembered yesterday's incident: "Have you seen the third princess?"
Wu Zhan poured her a cup of tea: "Hmm."
Hu Man glanced at him cautiously: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get close to her, it's just that she came to me twice, and I think that there is a person next to the third prince, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so I didn't refuse!"
Wu Zhan sighed lightly and looked at her helplessly: "Then you shouldn't hide it from me!"
"I'm not trying to hide it from you!" Hu Man pouted: "You told me so fiercely at that time not to go to the Three Princes' Mansion again, not to associate with the Three Princesses, I thought to tell you, you would definitely object, so I didn't say it!"
Wu Zhan sat down on the edge of the bed: "I'm afraid that you will be involved too much, but it seems that as long as you are in Changling, you will not live in peace."
Hu Man smiled: "So you won't object in the future, will you?"
"It's better to be careful!"
"Then what did you say to the third princess yesterday? Can she help? ”
"I wanted her to inquire about what the third prince had Wei Qingpeng's handle, but she changed her mind temporarily, a person like the third prince, if the third princess tried it, she would definitely be alert, so she asked some old things about the third prince."
"What's the old thing?" Hu Man couldn't help but look at it curiously.
Wu Zhan said slowly, the mother family of the three princesses is not prominent, when she first entered the palace, she looked very beautiful, and she was very liked by the emperor, but later she was pregnant with the third prince, but her body became more and more bloated, the important thing is that after giving birth, she did not recover, but became fatter and fatter!
In the harem where there are always young and beautiful women, her status can be imagined! Sheng Favor gradually weakened, and the other concubines hated her because she gave birth to a dragon son on the one hand, but they laughed at her because of her coldness, and their lives in the harem became more and more difficult!
When she first entered the palace, she was superior, and in the end, even a palace maid could make her angry, and it was difficult to even see the emperor, even if she saw it, it was just to see his disgust and disgust with his eyes, and the ups and downs made this once beautiful and proud woman completely collapse.
Her emotions began to change slowly, she couldn't find a place to talk, and she had nowhere to vent! Even the subordinates don't take her seriously!
So she thought of her young son! At that time, Yuan Ling was only three years old! Locked up in a small courtyard where no one cared about, she was not happy and scolded him!
There were no obvious injuries in the exposed area of Yuan Ling, and she also scared him not to tell anyone, so for two years, no one knew what kind of life this child was living!
It wasn't until he was six years old that he began to let him go to the study room to study with other princes, and his withdrawn and timid personality attracted the attention of his teacher.
The teacher asked him not to say anything, but to report to the emperor, the emperor hated his mother and paid little attention to him, but after all, it was his own son, so he sent someone to investigate.
His long-term abuse has finally been revealed! The emperor was furious, even though she was Yuan Ling's mother, she was also given white silk mercilessly!
Yuan Ling saw his mother hang with his own eyes! There was no emotion and sadness in his eyes, and there might even be a kind of happiness, and then he was given over to other concubines to raise, and his adoptive mother died a few years ago, but he has never been bullied since he followed another woman!
may really be the opposite, he was extremely cowardly and timid since he was a child, and after he had power, he was extremely arrogant and domineering, and he would never let himself suffer a trace of grievances!
Hu Man breathed a long sigh of relief after listening to a story, looking at Yuan Ling's appearance, he knew what his mother looked like back then, but just because she gave birth to a child, she was disgusted and ignored by her husband, and it was impossible not to hate or feel cold!
But a thousand mistakes, she shouldn't be angry with the child! The most innocent is the child, she let Yuan Ling spend a dark and frightened childhood, and also created today's ruthless and domineering third prince!
"His mother has put her misfortune on him, and it is not a reason for him to cause pain to others!" Seeing that Hu Man actually sympathized, Wu Zhandao.
Hu Man nodded: "Well, whoever does what is responsible is responsible!" The damage his mother did to him has already been repaid with his life! But what about Aunt Wang? ”
So, some things are understandable, but not forgivable! He has also caused harm and pain to other people's families! It is only natural that the people of the martial arts family came to him for revenge!
"Hungry, aren't you?" Wu Zhan said: "I'll ask Yezhi to bring you breakfast, and I'll go to the prison to have a look."
"Is it appropriate for you to go?" After all, he is from his own side, so it's not okay not to avoid suspicion?
"I'm just going to take a look, I won't interfere, don't worry!"
