honor me as god

Chapter 922
On the night of the wedding banquet, Solandelle fell asleep in the mansion and had the dream that she had had countless times in the past.

Golden light dims the sun.

Eyes overlooking the world.

And that lingering voice in my mind——

"find us."

It keeps saying.
"find us."

"find us."

Just as Solandelle was tormented by this dream, hurried footsteps sounded.

"Your Majesty!" The imperial guard even forgot the rules, and broke in without knocking on the door.

Solandelle was awakened by the noise and sat up abruptly. She stared blankly at the imperial guards, and it took a long while before she recovered from her confusion: "What's wrong?"

The imperial guard, who had always been calm, showed panic at this moment: "Your Majesty, Master Ma Ban."

A strong sense of crisis surged through Solandelle's heart, she didn't even bother to change into her pajamas, and hurried out.

On the way to Ma Ban's residence, the imperial guard reported with an ugly expression: "Earlier today, the guards in Ma Ban's mansion thought that last night was the wedding night, so they didn't want to disturb, but someone suddenly smelled blood. taste."

"The guards searched for the smell of blood and found that it was coming from the second floor. They were worried that Master Ma Ban would be assassinated, so they broke into the house and found that"

When the imperial guard said this, he seemed to have some concerns, so he didn't dare to say any more.

The suspense didn't last long, because Solandelle's mansion was very close to Maban, she rushed to the scene soon and witnessed the situation here with her own eyes.

The corridor on the second floor of the Ma Ban Mansion was already crowded with guards, their faces were full of panic, and when they saw Solandelle, they consciously moved out of the way, looking at her erratically.

When Solandelle walked into the bedroom, the smell of blood came to her nostrils. When she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she only felt cold hands and feet, as if her whole body was frozen.

She thought it was an assassin in the palace, and Ma Ban, who was the right hand of the king, was assassinated.

After all, this change has touched the interests of too many families, and even shaken their foundations. It is hard to guarantee that no one will take extreme measures in an attempt to stop the general trend.

If Ma Ban died in the assassination, it would be sad for Solandelle, losing such a capable subordinate.

But for Ma Ban personally, this is a kind of sublimation.

Ma Ban is terminally ill and has less than a month left to live. If he dies at the hands of an assassin at the last day, he will die in the line of justice and sacrifice his life for the revolution.

Ma Ban's name will be left in the history books of later generations for tens of thousands of years. He will be regarded as a great official hero and will be passed down from generation to generation.

But the fact is that Ma Ban failed to "die in the line of duty", he did not die.

It was a happy event, but the death of another person destroyed everything at this time.

Maban's wedding bedroom layout has not changed from yesterday, it is extremely brand new, but this sweet residence for newlyweds has been soaked in blood.

The bride Aurora lay flat on the bed, her white wedding dress was full of scarlet, and there was a hideous knife wound on her heart. The blood on the top of the bed curtain and the surrounding walls congealed into lumps. The blood stained the entire bed, spilled onto the floor, and gathered into a A pool of blood.

No one knows what happened to Aurora before she died. The body showed no signs of struggle, and her face was not distorted. It was full of calm, as if she was killed in a severe coma.
Or.
He had already foreseen the end, and accepted his own death calmly.

Who is the perpetrator?

No need to check, no need to guess, because the murderer didn't run away at all, he was at the scene.

Ma Ban had already taken off the groom's wedding dress, and folded it neatly by the bed, wearing the uniform of the right hand of the king, sitting upright, as usual in the palace.

A blood-stained knife was placed beside him.

Solandelle couldn't comprehend everything in front of her. She looked at Ma Ban and asked in a daze, "What did you do?"

Ma Ban put her hands on her knees, did not look at Solandelle, and stared straight ahead with cold eyes, not at all like a criminal who had just killed someone, and said in a full voice, "Please Your Majesty the Queen to punish the crime according to the law, and the criminal is willing to obey the law. "

Solandelle rushed over and grabbed Maban's collar, shook it vigorously, and almost lost her voice: "What are you thinking?!"

Ma Ban looked into Solandelle's eyes, his eyes were like two knives, and repeated the same words: "Please Your Majesty the Queen punish the crime according to the law, and the criminal is willing to obey the law."

In a trance, a thunderbolt from the clear sky sounded in Solandelle's mind, and the words she had said, as well as the words of Aurora and Maban kept echoing:

"Now the implementation of governance is under the law, and the public is skeptical and afraid to respond, which brings great difficulties to popularization."

"A good opportunity to make a reversal happen overnight, to turn it into a thunderbolt and let everyone know that this is a real change, and the queen is willing to pay any price for it."

"Please Your Majesty the Queen punish the crime according to the code, and the guilty minister is willing to obey the law."

Haunted by these voices, Solandelle finally reacted and realized the truth behind this unimaginable murder.

Since the principle of "governance under the law" was written into the general chapter of the law, although departments at all levels have dealt with many lawbreakers, they are all small fish and small shrimps. The highest status is the main city level, not the core eight. Officials.

From the public's point of view, this is bluff, and rule under the law is just empty talk. Otherwise, why only deal with small local officials, and the court ministers dare not move?

Of course, it's not that they dare not move, but that no one can move.

The law only discusses deeds and does not punish people's hearts. Only those who really violate the code of law will be punished.

And the high-level officials all know that Solandelle is serious, and they are strictly guarded everywhere, without giving any loopholes, so naturally no one will be sacked.

It is also impossible for Solandelle to bring out a minister in order to set a good example, and impose unwarranted charges on the other party. In that case, she herself is violating Code No. 1.

In the situation where the top leaders are silent, the people at the bottom do not see the "shocking thunder", so naturally they don't take the amendments to the code seriously, and it is difficult to change their concepts.

Now Solandelle can't catch anyone from above, and can't give an explanation to the below, so she is suspended in the middle.

The problem is not unsolvable, as long as time passes, there will always be Xiao Xiao who is in a high position and can't help but cross the red line, and then it will be the best opportunity to establish a model.

It's just that when this opportunity will come, there is no guarantee at all, and no one knows whether it will be a few days, months, or years.

So, at this difficult time, Ma Ban chose to stand up.

To be more precise, Ma Ban and Aurora chose to stand up together.

These two people met in Heiguan, and it took them 6 years to complete their spiritual integration and become spiritual partners. They have already surpassed the secular relationship between "lover" and "husband and wife".

Holding the same ideal and for the same person, they turned themselves into a ball of flames and rushed towards the thorns of the old order.

This unbelievable murder of newlyweds was only for one thing——

Prove the law with your own body!
