Sometimes, you have to force yourself to be strong and ruthless.

Just like Zhao Lin, if she didn't think about her situation, others must not be able to understand why she would use such an extreme way to dispose of her own brother's corpse.

The rabbit will bite when she is forced to be anxious, and she is just a woman with no power, no power and no status, she is forced to the deepest corner, facing the smug face of the enemy, her helplessness and inaction seem to have become the biggest irony.

Some women can be ruthless once they decide, and she Zhao Lin is one of them.

But is it just that the fish are dead and the net is broken, and they will all end up together? She is not afraid, really, she Zhao Lin will be accompanied by her brother to the end!

"Your Majesty, once the slave knows that this matter is open and honest, I will not escape death. But the slave maid has only one request, that is, to ask the emperor and all the adults to punish the traitor, and not in vain I sacrificed my brother's body and my own life. She knelt on the ground, her face watering with tears but with a touch of determination.

"If you really have grievances, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Your Majesty." Zhao Lin listened, and hurriedly kowtowed again. Just when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, I heard her say slowly in a slightly hoarse and choked tone: "My brother Zhao Ying and I have lived in a poor family since childhood, there are only two of us in the family, my younger brother is three years younger than me, and he is naturally a little stupid, so he is not very loved by my father." A few years ago, the harvest at home was not good, and many people in the village died of famine, and it happened that my mother gave birth to another child, a boy. The family, which was already struggling with financial resources, was made even more difficult by this new life. Out of the embarrassment of life, my father and mother had to sell my stupid brother into the palace as a slave in exchange for the silver to support the family. And I also hated my father and mother for being so ruthless because of this, and I left home in a fit of anger, and became a palace maid with my brother entering the palace, and I was able to take care of him occasionally. ”

Speaking of this, Ning He in the palace was definitely a little embarrassed. He is in a high position, prosperous, rich and worry-free, so it is difficult to understand the suffering of these lower-class people, he wants to be a Ming Jun, but under his governance, there are still people to the point of selling children, how can this not make him reflect.

"I remember that it was also the end of winter like this, and my brother was also castrated. I knew that he had been afraid of pain since he was a child, and that day I asked the master in the purification room to let me accompany him. It was also on that day that we met the chief eunuch - Gonggong Zhang. When he came up, he looked at my brother a few times, and then said to me, 'Your brother looks very handsome, and he is really wronged to be a eunuch, so it is better to stop castrating for the time being, and follow me, and when he is old in a few years, you can give me some money, and I will let him out of the palace.' When Zhao Lin said this, his voice suddenly became a lot sharper: "At that time, I just said that God was hanging the curtain, but I didn't expect to meet a noble person, so that my brother would not have to suffer from eunuchs, so I was grateful to Father-in-law Zhang and regarded him as a benefactor." But unexpectedly, this was just the beginning of a nightmare......"

Zhao Lin knelt on the ground, recalling what happened next, her face was a little pale and she couldn't hide the pain: "Your Majesty, the things that followed may stain your ears, but the slave swears that what I said is true." If there is the slightest fabrication, I will be thundered and I will not die! ”

"You speak first." Ning Hejue frowned and continued to listen to her.

"Another day, I took the rest of my food to look for my brother, but as soon as I approached the outside of Grandpa Zhang's bedroom, I heard Grandpa Zhang's screams coming from inside, I didn't understand at the time, I thought something was going to happen and immediately pushed the door in, so I saw that ugly scene......" She bit her lip, as if trying to control her emotions that were about to get out of control: "He tied my brother to the head of the bed, blindfolded, he was naked, sitting on my brother's body and twisting his body and screaming, with a very happy expression on his face. When he saw me come in, he didn't stop, but moved more and more. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and Chang Yuqing's bronzed face was both surprised and angry. Luo Qiufeng whispered secretly to Fang Huaizhi: "I didn't expect this father-in-law to like to play with prostitutes?" ”

"In the palace, what dirty things are there?" Fang Huaizhi glanced at Ning He's uncertain face in the hall, and didn't say anything more.

"At that time, I wanted to stop it, but my father-in-law was too powerful, and he threatened me that if I made this matter public, people would make me a man. When he saw that I did have some scruples, he became more and more unscrupulous, and sometimes even called me to his bedroom in the middle of the night to watch the two of them do it. Father-in-law Zhang's methods of playing people are full of tricks, and my younger brother is often wailed, and his body is also bruised with bruises. When it came to her poor brother, Zhao Lin couldn't cry anymore, and tears rippled: "Until not long ago, Gonggong Zhang played too much, and actually caused my brother to be drained of his essence and die." ”

"And how could his body have been bitten by a beast?" I still remember that when I was doing an autopsy, I said that Zhao Ying's body had been bitten by a wild beast, and Luo Qiufeng asked a little strangely.

I saw Zhao Lin laughing madly: "Lord Luo, do you know?" In order to prevent anyone from being discovered, he actually had my brother's body thrown to wild dogs in front of me. Haha, and I was helpless the whole time, I could only watch his flesh and blood being eaten clean, and I couldn't do anything......"

"So that's the only way you can get justice for your brother? Once the emperor eats a corpse at the night banquet, the emperor will be furious and pursue it, and he will follow your wishes to find out to Gonggong Zhang? Luo Qiufeng asked with a frown.

"Yes." She nodded.

"What are you going to do with your loved ones?"

"Do you think I'm not upset? My brother's corpse...... I personally chopped it with a knife, I am connected with him by blood, and I see him turn into a bowl of soup under my hands, being eaten by everyone, can I not feel pain in my heart? But I can't help it...... "This is the only huge price they can pay for their own fate as subordinates."

After that, Fang Huaizhi and others followed Zhao Lin's testimony and clues, and sure enough, they found that Zhang Gonggong had harmed a lot of people, he had killed several boys because of this before, and there were a few little eunuchs around him who were too timid to speak, and finally Fang Huaizhi was forced to ask the facts.

Chang Yuqing also secretly searched for a few books of profanity/child prostitution in the bedroom of Zhang's father-in-law, as well as a lot of unsightly props.

Ning He was really furious, and ordered Zhang Gonggong to be imprisoned, and Ling Chi was executed three days later, and the body was taken to feed the wild dogs.

And in the face of Zhao Lin, who finally got her wish, even if she was out of helplessness, after all, it was indeed an unforgivable crime to let Dangzi and many officials eat human bone soup, Ning Hejue locked her in prison, planning to execute her in three days, but to protect her whole body.

Just that night, Zhao Lin hanged himself in prison, ending his life in the damp and cold prison.

……

Zeng Yan lay quietly on the stinky grass, waiting for the emperor's decree to execute her, but Fang Huaizhi brought a holy decree and released her from the prison.

"Although you and Zeng Yuekang committed the crime of bullying the king, the emperor was merciful, and he mistakenly beat your board because he wronged you for killing people, so he opened the net and only sent you and Zeng Yuekang to Xuanzhou." Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Fang Huaizhi understood that Zhao Lin's case tonight touched his heart, so it was rare that he did not rush to kill them all, but spared Zeng Yan's life.

Zeng Yan couldn't believe that he still had one day to go out alive: "The emperor really spared us?" ”

"Zeng Yan, there is something Fang must remind you. It's not that you and Zeng Yuekang did the wrong things that you didn't report, it's just that the time hasn't come yet, so don't be too happy. After saying this, Fang Huaizhi didn't bother to look at Zeng Yan and left Dali Temple.

It was night, the sky was overcast, and the cold wind was gusting.

The people of Zeng Yuekang's mansion were shackled, and with the leadership of the officers and soldiers, they walked on foot towards Xuanzhou in the north in tattered prison uniforms.

The road must have been miserable and arduous, and years of struggle have finally come to this end.

Zeng Yuekang couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

And what Zeng Yuekang didn't expect the most was that when the people from the government came to seal the Zeng Mansion and wanted to escort away the Zeng Mansion and others, the Liu family had already taken all the jewelry of the Zeng Mansion and slipped away, not even caring about Zeng Yan's safety.

This slut, in vain he has loved her so much for many years, Zeng Yuekang hated in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the daughter he had forgotten so far, Zeng Nuo.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, when he returned to Kyoto after completing his sentence, he was afraid that Zeng Nuo would have already become the wife of Fangfu, and wouldn't he be able to play some family cards and make a comeback?

He thought to himself, but he didn't notice that at this time, a ghostly figure had appeared in front of this team.

The man under the moonlit night was dressed in white and extremely cold. The moonlight reflected a cold white light on his mask, and he appeared in the middle of the road, his posture indifferent, so uncomfortable.

"Who's coming?" The leading officer and soldier asked.

"It's just a villain, not enough to worry about." There was a smile in the other party's voice.

"Since it's okay, get out of the way!"

"I didn't get my apology back, how can I leave." The ghost qilin smiled lightly, and his posture suddenly moved to Zeng Yan, who had already been weak for a long time, like a ghost: "You caused me to lose my trust that day, and I must give them some apologies." ”

"You...... Who are you! Zeng Yan was frightened by his figure and exclaimed, but before she could shout, the other party's sword light had already crossed a cold arc in front of her eyes.

……

Zeng Nuo was about to fall asleep when the window was suddenly blown open from the outside by the wind.

She tucked away her blown-up hair, and walked to the window, just about to close it. Just then, she saw a piece of paper pressed against the window edge by a stone. At the lower end of the letter, there is also a small wooden box.

She unfolded the letterhead, but saw that it read: "In the case of peeling, I have broken my trust in you, and I now send an apology gift." Ghost unicorn. ”

Zeng Yan frowned, remembering the events of that day, and wondering how the ghost qilin could know about the skinning case, and where did he break his trust with her?

She opened the wooden box, then quickly closed it again.

Inside, there was a bloody, fresh human skin.
