Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 349 Stupid choice, unresolved doubts

God's disaster.

The flood poured down and submerged several states and counties in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River in an instant, destroying houses and submerging fertile fields.

The people were displaced and starved to death.

The court was shaken and ordered a thorough investigation.

"A group of officials who built the dam were detained pending trial, and the case dug deeper and deeper. That's when Xue Shou found me."

Qi Xiang sighed, squinting to the side somewhere, Xue Jingrong's face was pale, and his breath suddenly stopped.

"He was looking for you..."

"He asked me to save his life."

According to the intensity of the investigation, no one involved in the case can escape, so Xue Shou panicked.

Qi Xiangdao: "Later there was Cheng's case. After that, we had no contact with each other. Until a few days ago, he got the news that someone was investigating the old case and came to Hanyang to look for me. When we left the city, we met someone who came to the government office to complain. Monk, there is news about the old man of the Cheng family."

"Just in case, we have to silence him and the coachman together."

After speaking, he hardly dared to look at Xue Jingrong's face.

Su Rao interjected at the right time and asked, "Should Xue Shou not be worth the risk you took for him?"

Qi Xiang glanced at her with inexplicable fear, "Of course he's not worth it, but..."

But he moved out of the teacher.

Even though he didn't say it clearly, all the people present understood what he meant. Qi Xiang supported the withered hand with only a layer of skin left, and his heart ached, "The teacher lost his son in middle age, and he is the only heir under his knee... If Xue Shou pleads guilty, what will the teacher do..."

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man.

Such pain, how could he have the heart to let his mentor suffer again!
Su Rao said: "So you designed to blame Cheng Nan?"

"I've already explained what happened to Cheng Nan. It wasn't me who blamed it, but the result of the game between the timing and the forces of all parties. I was in it, but I was just adding fuel to the flames."

"Cheng Nan's confession, criminal evidence, and the secret letter found in his study are all written by you and He Gongze. How dare you say it's just fueling the flames?"

Su Rao couldn't help but chuckle.

Yan Yun glanced sideways at her slightly, and saw the sarcasm at the end of her eyes scratching like a cold knife, and his heart was shocked.

Facing her questioning, Qi Xiang calmly said as before: "Of course it's just fueling the flames. Whose hands and pockets did the river repair funds go through? The court wants to investigate. If they want to clean it up, they naturally need to take the place of the dead."

"The money came out of the national treasury and went around in Shengjing. From Shengjing to the local government, the local government to the project, it was exploited layer by layer. Who hasn't touched it?"

"But why did the last one die, the biggest official... just a mere Outer Capital Shui Cheng?"

Su Rao frowned silently.

He continued: "In all dynasties and dynasties, corruption has been difficult to curb, and it is not the fault of anyone's family. Could it be that the big shots in the court really don't know about such abuses?"

"Could it be that they are all corrupt officials? So they protect each other, rather than being blind?"

Qi Xiang stared at her, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Su, there are many things that must be done and must be done!"

With the tone of a superior, he pointed out her youthfulness and innocence, innocence and ridiculousness with earnestness and earnestness.

Yin Xuewei and the others looked at her worriedly.

In fact, they can understand Qi Xiang's words to a certain extent. The reality is overwhelming and they are always helpless.

Living in the center of power, he is used to intrigues and tricks.

There are also trade-offs and careful calculations.

So they saw all the things she did for the dead and the efforts she made to find out the truth along the way, and they felt that it was even more commendable.

How many people have stepped into court like her with a pure heart, but in the end they were smashed to pieces by this treacherous situation.

They were afraid that her belief would be shaken by these words, and she would be disappointed and lonely since then, and she would be devastated.

"girl……"

Someone called out unconsciously.

Su Rao came back to her senses, met their worried eyes, and gave a relieved smile.

Then he looked at Qi Xiang and said, "Your Majesty Qi is indeed a person who can sit on the state shepherd's position. You are really good at confounding black and white, and sophistry. You kill innocent people indiscriminately and have selfish motives, but you don't dare to face it. You insist on making such arguments." Come to comfort me."

"Corruption is rife, and the protection of officials and officials has naturally existed in all dynasties, but its existence does not mean that it is correct, and it does not mean that you can use it as an excuse to swing down the butcher's knife with peace of mind."

"Qi Xiang."

Su Rao locked his gaze tightly, with a cold smile on her lips: "You sympathized with the pain of your teacher's orphans, you concealed and planted Xue Shou first, and then killed innocent people. Do you think you did this for his benefit?"

"I tell you, you are stupid."

"Su Rao!"

Qi Xiang shouted angrily, and looked at Xue Jingrong subconsciously. He was alone, and he didn't expect to make the teacher listen to these obscenities.

"Did I scold you wrong?"

Su Rao stood up slowly, "You wanted to tell Xue honestly and punish Xue Shou back then, even if he was sad for a while, he would get better after a long time."

"In that case, Cheng's whole family won't have to die tragically, and you won't have to commit a lot of blood debts. Let him lose his relatives in old age, and at the same time lose the students who treat him like his son-in-law. In the future, he will have no one to rely on and no one to die."

"You made him nearly [-] years old to suffer from such heart-breaking pain, and half his life's innocence has been reduced to a joke. What's more, together with your name, it will always be set on the pillar of shame in history and be reviled by the people of the world."

"It's you who are wishful thinking, and it's him who is beyond redemption."

The words fell to the ground with a clang.

The whole house was silent.

Qi Xiang stared at her blankly for a long time, then sat slumped on the ground, speechless, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the old figure kneeling opposite him, with silvery white hair and a look of exhaustion.

'Nowhere to depend on old age, no one to die. '

These eight words, to him, every word is heartbreaking.

He clearly said that he would take care of the teacher until his death in the future, but he knew that Xue Shou couldn't be entrusted to him and pinned his hopes on him...

After all, it hurts others and oneself.

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting, grandfather, have you seen it? The two people you value, one treats you sincerely but hurts you so far, and the other... Heh!"

Zeng Yufan clapped his hands and applauded, seeing Xue Jingrong's lifeless face, he turned to Xue Shou and said, "Why are you so dumb, don't you just quibble?"

Xue Shou stood like a stone sculpture, as if he didn't hear his provocation, he was dazed for a long time, looking around at the people in front of him, his mind was blank and he didn't know how to react.

Are you as hysterical as Zeng Yufan?

He can't.

But cry for mercy?

It doesn't seem to work either, he knew that he would die if this matter was revealed, and he would not put his final dignity on the ground and let them trample on him.

In this case, it seems that they can only try their best to maintain the remaining decency.

"I tried my best and still couldn't escape this catastrophe. Since I was caught by you, I have nothing to say. How to deal with it is up to you."

"Mr. Xue, what's the hurry? I still have something to ask you."

Su Rao calmly walked up to Xue Shou and stood still. In fact, when she missed and almost hurt someone that day, she suspected that she had fallen for this man.

The coachman was killed with a dagger.

And judging from Qi Xiang's cover-up attitude, it's obviously not his, so it can only be the murderer's.

The dagger is exquisitely crafted, it is not something to play with or adorn, and ordinary people would not carry this kind of thing with them.

The biggest possibility is that the murderer practiced martial arts.

Xue Shou is good at martial arts. Hearing from Mr. Xue that he used to travel to and from Hanyang often, and he didn't see the jade pendant of Xue's descendants around his waist, she guessed about half of what the shopkeeper said.

Just one more thing...

"How did you let Master Huizhi commit suicide?"
