Chapter 488: Human Life
looked down at Meng Zhiqiu, who was kneeling in front of him, holding his legs. m.
On an old face, he looked really sad. Qi Yuheng gradually moved his gaze forward, staring at Meng Qiu'an's corpse, which had gradually become cold, and anger gradually spread into his heart.
"Lord Shen, can you give this hall an explanation!" Meng Qiu'an is a young man with acceptable qualifications in the family, and originally Qi Yuheng was counting on him to help him and take over the position of head secretary in the future. But today, his life is gone!
This really disrupted Qi Yuheng's original plan and made him angry in his heart.
Qi Musheng and Gu Yixuan also came in at this time, and the blood in Shen Wei's hands stinged the eyes of the two of them.
That's not good. Gu Yixuan's heart sank, his life was at stake, but he was still the eldest son of the Meng family. Under the eyes of everyone, even if Gu Yixuan wanted to save Shen Wei, I am afraid that he was powerless. At least, at this time, there is nothing he can do.
"Second Brother Qi..." gently called Qi Musheng, only to see that he also looked at Shen Wei with a solemn face, and between his eyebrows, he was already full of sorrow.
"Shen, one person does things, one person does. Meng Qiu'an's son, it was indeed killed by Shen, and Shen had nothing to say about it. Shen Wei lowered his head, knelt down in front of Qi Yuheng, folded his hands, bowed deeply, and fell to the ground.
Qi Yuheng laughed angrily: "Heh! Hehe! Okay, good! Lord Shen confessed his guilt so simply! Since this is the case, come on!" Qi Yuheng turned around and called a few attendants sharply.
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince!" all came to remind the fierce attendants, a tall person, an ordinary person, it is difficult to shake half a point.
"The Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Shen Wei, pointed at Meng Qiu'an, the eldest son of the Meng family, until he died on the spot! The murderer, confessed! According to my Darui law, he should be beheaded!" Qi Yuheng gave an order, pointed at Shen Wei with a trembling hand, and gave a death order.
"Yes!" After getting Qi Yuheng's order, those attendants bent down and dragged Shen Wei away and went to the Fa on the spot.
But at this moment, Qi Musheng took a step forward and hurriedly said: "Wait!"
"Second Emperor Brother! Shen Wei himself has already confessed to the murder! And everyone present is a witness! Could it be that the Second Emperor Brother wants to shield the murderer in public!?" Qi Yuheng's eyes flashed with rage, and he roared unceremoniously at Qi Musheng.
"Brother Emperor, Mu Sheng didn't mean that. Qi Musheng was not flustered, and his expression was as usual.
"Then tell me, what do you mean?" Qi Yuheng raised his hand and motioned to the attendant not to move for the time being, waiting for Qi Musheng's answer.
"Brother Emperor, it is a fact that Lord Shen killed people, and in front of everyone, even if Mu Sheng has the heart to help, I am afraid there is nothing he can do. It's just that Lord Shen's character is well known to everyone. is not the kind of person who takes people's lives at will, Mu Sheng thought, there must be a reason for this to happen. Why don't you give Lord Shen a chance to explain, so that everyone can hear why he acted like this?" If Shen Wei's words are reasonable, he and Gu Yixuan can seize the opportunity to clear him of the crime of murder.
Where there is life, there is hope. It doesn't matter if the official is gone, as long as there is a life left, it is good.
Unexpectedly, Qi Musheng's words had just fallen, and he heard Shen Wei kneeling on the side and said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Shen just couldn't get used to Meng Qiu'an, so he killed him, there is no other reason!"
If the matter is revealed, even if Qi Musheng and Gu Yixuan can save his life, Fu Huaisang's reputation will be completely ruined!
He knows better than anyone else how the family eats people! Now Fu Huaisang can be safe and sound in the family, it must be because Meng Qiu'an has not yet made such humiliating things public. Even now, he can't push Fu Huaisang into hell so easily!
"Lord Shen... You..."Gu Yixuan naturally knew what Shen Wei was thinking. The same would have been true for him.
In exchange for his own life for the pain of others, he can't do it, and Shen Wei, who has Fu Huaisang in his heart, can't do it!
"Second Emperor Brother, you have seen it! It's not that the palace doesn't give him a chance! Shen Wei himself just doesn't want it!" Qi Yuheng put his hand down, and the group of attendants dragged Shen Wei out of the study.
"Wait!" If he didn't stop it, and Shen Wei was taken away by Qi Yuheng like this, then he really had no way to live.
Qi Musheng spoke up again, this time, Qi Yuheng didn't have such good patience.
"Take it away!" Ignoring Qi Musheng's call, Qi Yuheng took Bai Qishuang and led the way in front of the attendants.
The long sword was unsheathed, and in a flash of cold light, a figure attacked the group of attendants holding Shen Wei.
With a little force, he knocked the attendant's hand off with the back of his sword, and with a stretch of his hand, he pulled Shen Wei to his side.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!?" Shen Wei didn't expect that Qi Musheng was so anxious that he made a move, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Mu Sheng! What are you doing?! Ignoring the king's law, you have no respect for your superiors! Are you going to rebel?!" Qi Yuheng stepped forward, wanting to make a move to confront Qi Musheng.
But he was blocked in front of Gu Yixuan and stopped his attack: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is angry, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Great Prince who refused to stay, Second Brother Qi wouldn't be in a hurry to move." ”
Qi Musheng made a move, but even Gu Yixuan didn't expect that this sudden attack would give him a headache.
It is reasonable and reasonable, Qi Musheng should not do this, even if this Shen Wei is taken away by Qi Yuheng, he will not be in danger of his life for a while.
After all, he is the secretary of the Darui Criminal Department, and he has won the hearts of the people, not to mention, even the emperor praises him.
This time, even if he stained Meng Qiu'an's life, Qi Yuheng wanted to get rid of it quickly, but he could not have the final say alone.
According to the law, when an official is punished or sentenced, he must report it to the Emperor, and the Holy One himself will read the cause of the matter and ask the whole story before he can make a decision. If Shen Wei's life was injured during this period, Qi Yuheng would not be able to escape responsibility.
"Shenwu Jun's words, but he is blaming the main hall?!" "Joke! It was someone from his family who died, and he, Qi Yuheng, naturally had the right to detain the murderer!"
"Gu didn't dare, what Gu meant was that the two princes were brothers, and if there was anything, it should be easy to talk about and discuss. His Royal Highness the Great Prince thinks about this matter carefully, doesn't he feel a little strange?" "Now, it's better to stabilize the emotions of the two parties before making the next step."
"What's wrong?!My son is dead!?What's so strange?!Shenwu Jun, don't you want to deceive people too much!" Meng Zhiqiu listened to Gu Yixuan's words, his heart was aggrieved and indignant, and he got up from the ground and pointed at Gu Yixuan with his finger, his cloudy eyes were full of hatred.
