Chapter 223: Abandoning the Chess Pieces

I saw him looking at Feng Yun in front of him with a sneer: "So what the eldest princess means is that no matter whether I am right or wrong, as long as the seventh princess wants to punish me, then I have to suffer obediently?" ”

Feng Yun didn't speak.

Because I don't know how to speak.

It's all the more because—

Liu Chang is right.

It was precisely because of Feng Yun's silence that she did not speak.

This made Liu Chang more confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

And that's—

He's right.

Whether he's right or wrong.

Even if Jingzhou's case was really not his doing, Bai Wuyou testified against him before he died.

In addition, the case in Jingzhou was investigated and handled by Feng Xiangwan himself.

So—

Even if Feng Xiangwan didn't have sufficient evidence, even if everyone knew that Bai Wuyou had a conflict with him many years ago before his death.

Even if all of them knew better, Bai Wuyou's identification of him before his death was just revenge for the hatred he had had been years ago.

Yes.

All of them know.

But because this case was investigated by Feng Xiangwan, no one could arrest him without sufficient evidence, because his identity did not allow it.

But only Feng Xiangwan can.

In this world, only Feng Xiangwan can.

Even the empress can't do it, but if this thing happens to Feng Xiangwan, she can.

Yes, she can.

What an irony to say.

Liu Chang suddenly laughed.

The irony of laughter, at this moment, laughed even more out of tears.

He was not sarcastic about anything else, but Feng Yun in front of him.

At the beginning, when he was caught by Feng Xiang's late order, he swore self-righteousness that he would be fine.

But now, after being imprisoned in the dungeon by Feng Xiangwan for so long, they don't care.

Not even the slightest bit of information was revealed to the dungeon.

If it weren't for the ghost master's matter, maybe Liu Chang would have been able to hold on for a while.

But it was precisely because of the existence of the ghost master that Liu Chang found that he couldn't hold on.

Yes.

He really couldn't hold on anymore.

He was about to collapse, because he found that he couldn't hold on for even two days, and the corpse of the ghost master was here, and he was tormented every day, and it was like a year.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have collapsed to such a point at this moment.

As the second-grade important minister of Dazhao, the second-grade Jingzhao lord admired by tens of thousands of people, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has already reached the point where he is not shocked when facing everything.

But this time, why did he become so devastated?

Collapse at the same time, and then disappointment?

He was only full of disappointment now, because at this moment, Liu Chang suddenly found that everyone had given up on him.

Yes.

They all gave up on him.

Even the eldest princess who he has always relied on and believes that he will definitely come to save him, His Royal Highness the eldest princess, who has been loyal to him all these years and does not dare to have two hearts, has given up on him......

Feng Yun is good at observing people's hearts, just looking at Liu Chang's look on her face.

From the beginning full of hope and pleading, to the current disappointment and regret.

All of his facial emotions and the look of the past flashed in the way he looked at himself.

Feng Yun naturally knew that he was disappointed in himself.

But in the same way, how could Feng Yun bear to see Liu Chang showing such a disappointed look to herself?

If there was really hope, even if it was one in ten thousand, she wanted to gamble, give it a try, and save him from the dungeon.

But it's the same.

What she wanted to save was Lord Jingzhao, the second-rank and noble status of Jokhang.

It's not a person who doesn't have a half-bit identity, doesn't help her at all, on the contrary, it will also affect one of her civilians.

Yes.

If what she rescued was a civilian, no longer Lord Jingzhao, who was a noble figure of the second rank of the Jokhang, then how could she take that risk to save him?

So in the final analysis, what she likes is Liu Chang's identity as a second product of Jingzhao, not his person.

If Liu Chang had no identity and only he was left, Feng Yun would naturally not care about his life and death.

Her plans are higher than everyone else's, even far higher than her life.

She wouldn't let herself do that thankless thing that would not allow her to gain even the slightest benefit and put herself in danger.

Her sanity wouldn't allow her to do that!

I saw Feng Yun take one last look at Liu Chang, took a step back, and said, "Although the appearance of the ghost master after his death is terrifying, he is a dead man after all. Lord Liu is a person who reads the books of sages and sages, so he naturally knows the saying that people die like lights go out. ”

"Besides."

When she said this, she saw Feng Yun pause, then glanced at Liu Chang one last time, and turned around to leave: "Besides, Lord Liu is upright, an official and clear, and upright, how can he be afraid of this ......?"

Feng Yun had only taken a few steps to leave, and she hadn't even walked out of the cell, and even the words in her mouth were only halfway through.

I heard Liu Chang behind him sneer: "What if, the official told the eldest princess that the hundreds of thousands of dead people in Jingzhou were all from the hands of the official?" ”

One sentence made Feng Yun pause, and even the words that were about to blurt out came to an abrupt end at this moment.

If it was someone else, after hearing Liu Chang's words, I was afraid that he would quickly turn his head and ask him about the truth of the matter.

But Feng Yun didn't, she still kept her posture of leaving, and even after listening to Liu Chang's words, she didn't even turn her head.

On the contrary, after listening to Liu Chang's words, she stood in place for a while, and then walked away directly.

Yes.

walked away directly, and did not stay long because of this incident.

Because in her heart, the number of hundreds of thousands of dead people in Jingzhou actually had an answer in Feng Yun's heart.

Because she knows that Liu Chang is not as honest and honest as he seems, on the contrary, those officials in the court are high-spirited on the surface, and there are more or less things that are unknown and cannot even be known.

Therefore, when she learned the news as soon as she could, knowing that Bai Wuyou had testified against him before he died, saying that Liu Chang was the real mastermind behind the scenes, Feng Yun had already suspected Liu Chang.

It's just that Liu Chang was very important to him at that time, so for the sake of his own plan, Feng Yun subconsciously ignored this.

Now, even if I hear Liu Chang admit it in person, it is not so important to Feng Yun.

Because, indeed, she is already planning to give up Liu Chang.

......

followed her princess all the way out of the Seventh Princess's Mansion, Xiao Lian endured all the way, but because they were on Feng Xiangwan's territory, Xiao Lian naturally knew the truth that the wall had ears.

Therefore, it wasn't until she followed the princess into the carriage that Xiao Lian finally couldn't help but speak: "Princess, the slave didn't expect that the mastermind behind Jingzhou was really Lord Liu." ”

"No, it's Liu Chang."

Hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou were killed and injured, obviously, although Xiao Lian did not see the tragic situation in Jingzhou with her own eyes, but just by hearing what those people in the capital said, she knew how miserable those people in Jingzhou were at that time.

You must know that these credits are really all due to Liu Chang.

What made her unexpected, and even unbelievable, was that Liu Chang, who seemed to be such a high-minded person who thought about the people on the surface, was so vicious and vicious behind his back.

Those unarmed people, he can be so ruthless.

You know, among those hundreds of thousands of people, there are not only adults, but also children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and innocent women, what have they done wrong?

To be tortured by Liu Chang like this and brutally killed?

Xiao Lian's words made Feng Yun silent.

To be precise, Feng Yun didn't say a word until she got into the carriage all the way from Feng Xiangwan Mansion to the end of the house.

In the past, when she left Feng Xiangwan's mansion, even if she couldn't see Feng Xiangwan, she would at least inform Feng Xiangwan's subordinates in the mansion, saying that she was leaving, so she wouldn't go over to tell the seventh sister.

But tonight, this is the first time in history, in so many years, Feng Yun has been so silent when she left the Seventh Princess's Mansion, without informing Feng Xiangwan.

Obviously, Xiao Lian is also aware of this, but now is not the time to care about this.

I saw that after complaining alone for a while, Xiao Lian suddenly looked at Her Royal Highness the princess with a serious face: "Princess, do you want to tell Your Majesty about this matter?" ”

Xiao Lian felt that this matter must be told to His Majesty.

Although the princess values Liu Chang very much on weekdays, it is entirely because Liu Chang himself is a very talented person.

It's not because he-

In the past, Xiao Lian also respected Liu Chang very much.

felt that Liu Chang really deserved to be the second-grade of Joklo, and the noble Jingzhao Lord.

It's no wonder that the court's popularity is so good, the people love him so much, and even His Majesty values her very much.

Her Royal Highness the princess attaches great importance to virtuous officials.

But that was just before, not now.

When she learned that Liu Chang was so cruel and murderous in her bones, Xiao Lian had already changed her opinion of Liu Chang's original heart.

Who knows-

After listening to Xiao Lian's words, Feng Yun immediately asked her: "Do you think you should tell the mother emperor about this matter?" ”

I don't know why, the princess didn't get angry, and even when she asked herself about this sentence, her expression was faint, and she couldn't see the slightest anger.

But Xiao Lian subconsciously felt scared.

Because from the princess's rhetorical question, she seemed to realize that she seemed to be a little too talkative......

Thinking of this, Xiao Lian hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry princess, Xiao Lian has too much to say." ”

Whether to tell the empress about this matter or not is all the princess's intention.

She is a slave maid, how can she give the princess a bad idea and let the princess personally tell His Majesty about it.

Moreover.......

Seeing that she looked cautious and realized that she had said the wrong thing, Feng Yun just sighed helplessly, but did not blame her much: "You don't understand." The mother emperor is such a smart person, I guessed the private relationship between me and Liu Chang before, if I go to the palace to tell the mother emperor what Liu Chang personally admitted today, this is not to ask for credit, but to make the interest relationship between me and Liu Chang more solid. ”
