The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

"Grand Master, I'm sorry. Now that things have come to this point, hiding it won't help anymore."

Tao Ran walked towards Taishi Jiang with an apologetic look on his face, "Although I have not been as self-inflicted as Jiang Xun in recent years, I have not been able to pass the threshold in my heart. But that day, I witnessed my soldiers being sucked into the whirlpool and disappearing. people.”

Anyone who sails on a boat knows that when a ship sinks, there are whirlpools in the water, sucking people in like a big mouth.

He was prepared to escape, but many of the soldiers escorted by him still died.

He is also a human being, and those people are all people who have followed him through life and death, and his heart is as heavy as a huge stone pressing down on him.

"It doesn't matter."

After a while, Master Jiang finally spoke in a low voice.

With a plop, he knelt heavily on the ground and knocked his head straight down, "I am guilty."

"I make the same mistake again and again, and I deserve to die." Taishi Jiang's voice was low, but his tone was exceptionally calm.

Behind him, Jiang Dalang, who was standing in front of the door, finally couldn't help but stumbled over. He knelt down beside Taishi Jiang with a plop and cried loudly, "Guan family, Guan family! My father is also here for Only the people of Dayong opened warehouses to store grain."

"The disaster was so serious at that time that the court's relief food was simply not enough, so he just took matters into his own hands."

"Please see his selflessness and forgive him!"

Gu Shiwei was amused and interrupted Jiang Dalang sarcastically, "Does the Jiang family think that serious crimes such as assassinating officials, stealing tax money, and massacring the entire Hong family in Canglang Mountain can be forgiven?"

"Stop using what you want to serve the country and the people as a fig leaf!"

Gu Shiwei said, and cupped his hands to the person behind the screen, "The officials love the people like their own children. If Grand Master Jiang really has no selfish motives and only wants to help the victims, he can urgently request the officials to open a warehouse to release grain."

"It's really too late to take ten thousand steps back. You can also apologize to the officials after releasing the grain!"

"A person who is dedicated to the people will kill innocent people? A person who is dedicated to the people will massacre a whole family? Don't insult these four words."

Jiang Dalang's mouth opened wide.

He also wanted to tell Grand Master Jiang's achievements over the years, but Han Shiyan stood up.

"That's not what the account books say," Han Shiyan's cold voice sounded from the side.

Gu Shiwei followed the sound and looked over, only to see that he had taken the account books from the master at some point and had read through them all.

"That's not what the account books say. Master Jiang may have opened a granary privately to save people, but he also took advantage of the disaster and made a fortune with nothing when rice grains soared! Jiang Dalang, don't say you don't know This matter."

Han Shiyan said and handed the account book back to the master. The master took it and handed it to Wang Yihe. Wang Yihe got up again and sent the account book behind the screen.

Only then did everyone who was watching the excitement come back to their senses from their dazed situation.

What did they hear before? I heard Jiang Dalang calling the official family!
Could it be that the officials are here? The lobby of Kaifeng Mansion was boiling instantly!

Wang Yihe slapped the gavel, and the government servants holding the killing sticks banged the sticks.

The court fell silent for a moment.

Gu Shinwei looked behind the screen and saw the figure behind the screen stood up and disappeared after a while. He could only catch a glimpse of the fiery red corner of Zhang Chunting's Imperial City Secretary's robe.

The official family left.

Gu Shiwei looked towards Taishi Jiang. Taishi Jiang seemed to have expected everything. He let out a long sigh and reached out his hand to touch the head of Jiang Dalang, who was kneeling next to him and crying.

"Don't cry, Dalang. It is indeed your father's fault."

Jiang Dalang cried even louder, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't dug a big hole in my tenure and needed to be filled, Dad, you wouldn't have risked your reputation being ruined for the rest of your life." He risked his life and did something like that. "It's all my fault! It was me who harmed you, Dad, and I deserve death!"

Grand Master Jiang shook his head.

"It's not your fault. When your fifth brother passed away, I swore an oath in the mourning hall that I would never let anything happen to my child again."

Gu Shiwei's nose felt sore as he listened.

Han Shiyan stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently, "If you don't let your child get into trouble, can you let other people's children get into trouble?"

"The official family has left, and the Grand Master no longer has to act. Your goal today has been achieved, hasn't it? Still talking so much about benevolence, justice and morality is just adding to the laughter."

Taishi Jiang met Han Shiyan's eyes and was nervous for a moment, then relaxed again. He glanced at Jiang Silang, who was still standing in front of Li Mingfang, and quickly looked away.

He knew that his thoughts could not be hidden from Han Shiyan at all.

But this was his last conspiracy, and he was sure that even if Han Shiyan and Gu Shiwei saw through it, they would not destroy it at all.

……

By the time Li Mingfang and Jiang Silang were settled and the poison on their bodies was detoxified, it was almost dawn.

Suddenly a drizzle began to fall in the sky, which instantly calmed people's restless hearts.

Gu Shinwei and Han Shiyan walked side by side on the street. The bluestone road was a little darker after being wetted by the rain, and the boots occasionally made a popping sound when they stepped on it. The market was extremely quiet, not even the sound of the watchman was heard.

"Thank you, Han Shiyan."

Gu Shiwei thought he had thousands of words to express, but in the end, what he wanted to say the most was this sentence.

"You're welcome. This is the duty of the censor. If you want to tell your father and mother, I'll ask Chang Guan to set up the carriage and we'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

Han Shiyan looked at the girl next to him with a particularly complicated mood.

He saw with his own eyes how much effort Gu Shiwei put in to finally clear his father's grievances and let the truth be revealed to the world.

He was happy for her and extremely proud of her.

However, the settlement of the case also means that Gu Shiwei may have to leave Bianjing.

"Wait for tomorrow, senior brother, Shili and Xiaojing, we will all go together, and you will go too."

Gu Shiwei said, turning to look at Han Shiyan, "Why don't you go and see the house near your home tomorrow? I've decided to buy it."

Han Shiyan said softly, "Okay!"

He said, meeting Gu Shiwei's eyes.

In the silent rainy night, everything was deserted. There was no one around, and the girl in the fiery red robe stood with him in the rain.

She raised her head to look at him, revealing her beautiful and white neck line.

Tonight, Gu Shiwei was so dazzling and so heart-wrenching. Every word Li Mingfang said in that courtroom was like a sharp knife cutting through his heart, making people feel stinging in the palm of their hands.

"I've been thinking, if only I'd known you earlier."

If only I had known you before the mass grave siege, so that I could stand in front of you. (End of chapter)
