Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 272 Meeting the Old Man in Yuzhou City

"But this person surnamed Zhao will definitely trouble us. Could it be that we have to tolerate him every time?" Xiao Jing was obviously not happy. He had no choice but to face Zhao Dongchen's domineering before. It was because Zhao Dongchen's official rank was higher than Su Xuan's. As the saying goes, the official rank crushes people to death.

But now Su Xuan is the court's prisoner, a dignified fourth-rank official who can be said to be crushing Zhao Dongchen in terms of rank and status. She really can't understand why they still tolerate Zhao Dongchen at this moment?
"Don't forget what we came to Yuzhou for. As the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you can make big plans. We can't delay big things because of this, so don't mention this matter again!" Su Xuan immediately said this to the small mirror, and then Turning around, he said to Ling Xiang who was still kneeling on the ground, "Ling Xiang, I want you to confess everything and take the initiative to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly. Now I will punish you leniently and punish you to deal with the old man's funeral. Then I will go to the government office and be imprisoned for a month to make an example to others!"

"Thank you, sir!" Ling Xiang immediately expressed her gratitude. You must know what happened today. She committed a heinous crime. Whether it was framing Su Xuan and the Guards, or cooperating with Zhao Dongchen in lying and reporting a false case, it was not something that could be taken lightly in terms of court law. Forgive the sin.

Now Su Xuan only imprisoned her for a month, and asked her to take care of the old man's funeral, which was considered an extrajudicial favor to her, so she naturally wanted to be grateful to Su Xuan.

"Let's go!" After Su Xuan made a decision, she called her followers to leave and headed towards her own inn.

On the way, Lu Feng was a little confused about this matter, so he asked Su Xuan: "My lord, didn't you agree to deal with it leniently? Why did you let Miss Lingxiang go to prison for a month?"

The crimes Ling Xiang committed today are all related to Su Xuan. If Su Xuan pursued it, it would not be too much to imprison her for a year or two. If it's not true, logically it should be acquitted, but he didn't understand why Su Xuan sentenced Ling Xiang to prison for a month?

"Look at her rags and shabby clothes. She should be so poor that she can't even eat. We let her go to prison now. She will have a stutter. But she was released outside without charge. I will starve to death on the street!" Su Xuan immediately explained.

She knew very well that Zhao Dongchen would not find someone with a solid foundation to do this, but would only find someone with no background and no family to be the so-called sufferer, because no one would be able to find out the true identity of the sufferer. People preconceived that the sufferer was the old man's granddaughter.

If Su Xuan hadn't found the burlap from the dead man's hand, and found that there was no trace of the second person's life in the old man's room, she would have believed that Ling Xiang was the old man's granddaughter.

Since Ling Xiang is not the granddaughter of the old man, she has no home in Yuzhou Mansion, and with the current situation in Yuzhou, it is impossible for outsiders to appear in Yuzhou, a hungry place, so she judged that Lingxiang should have been exiled here before the catastrophe The little beggar in the house, by some chance, got into someone Zhao's eyes and made such a move.

"My lord should be considerate!" Hearing Su Xuan's words, Lu Feng understood Su Xuan's real intention, so he said this to Su Xuan in admiration.

At this time, an army full of people came in from the gate of the city, slowly crossed the street, and walked towards another gate. It seemed that it was an army going north through Yuzhou Mansion.

Su Xuan looked up and saw that the leading general was none other than His Royal Highness King Liang.

"Your Highness?" Seeing King Liang approaching on horseback, Su Xuan suddenly stopped and looked towards King Liang.

It has been a few days since the capital was farewell. She did not expect that she would see King Liang on Yuzhou Street before the Yuzhou catastrophe was over. Standing there not knowing what to do.

You must know that Liang Wang is in charge of the criminal law, and it is reasonable to handle the review of the case in the capital. How could he suddenly lead the army here?This made her have to be surprised.

She was pleasantly surprised that she hadn't seen King Liang for such a long time, and when he suddenly appeared, her heart fluctuated somewhat. After all, in his heart, this high-ranking prince was indeed very kind to her.

Ever since Chi Rui's death, her heart had already been frozen. It was King Liang who made her open her heart little by little, and find herself again. She was no longer a walking corpse who could only investigate cases but was unconscious.

Her heart has long secretly planted feelings for this prince without knowing it, so this is how she feels now.

"Silly girl, what's the matter? Are you unhappy seeing this king?" King Liang immediately got off his horse when he saw Su Xuan, came to Su Xuan, looked down into Su Xuan's eyes, and said to Su Xuan very gently.

"No...no..." Seeing King Liang's gentle look, Su Xuan's face suddenly turned red, and she immediately denied it to King Liang.

Damn, she can talk endlessly in front of anyone, but in front of him, she can't speak anymore, and she feels unnaturally that her heart is beating faster, which almost affects her breathing. This change was really hard for her to accept.

"This king knows that you have a dangerous mission in Yuzhou this time, so I insist on letting Zi Qiong follow you. I can rest assured that she is here!" King Liang continued to talk to Su Xuan, "Only after today, This king can no longer protect you, you must learn to protect yourself and take care of yourself!"

"Don't... don't make it like a farewell to death... okay, let the monster feel uncomfortable!" Su Xuan didn't know why, but felt her heart was pulled by something, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hush...don't talk, listen to this king!" Liang Wang seemed to be afraid that he would not have enough time to speak, and he didn't intend to listen to what Su Xuan had to say, but just cared about finishing what he wanted to say, "This time, my king The purpose of going to Beimo is to keep the border of Dazhou peaceful, and I don’t know when I will be able to come back, but to the palace, if you don’t go back for a while, don’t go back!”

King Liang knew that those people in the palace were eaters without spit out their bones. If he was not in the palace, there would be no one to shield Su Xuan from the wind and rain. He didn't want Su Xuan to be hurt, so he could only persuade Su Xuan not to return to the palace for the time being.

"By the way, there's this!" King Liang paused suddenly when he said this, took out a fire pocket from his pocket, handed it to Su Xuan, and then said to Su Xuan, "This king knows how late it is." Rui's case is related to this Huozhangzi, so I sent someone to investigate who brought this special Huozzizi to Jinshan County when Chi Rui went to Jinshan County. So far, only three people have been found, one is the commander of the Prince's House Guards Qin Mo, the other one is Gui Xi who is beside the emperor, and the other one is Qin Keer who is next to Director Qin!"

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, take care of yourself!" After Liang Wang finished speaking, without waiting for Su Xuan's response, he immediately got on his horse and planned to follow the team out of the city...
