Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 148

"You never kill for no reason," Xiao Jue straightened his back, did not look back at Qin Changge, but only focused on the cliff where four lives had just been annihilated, and said softly, "For example, the four people just now were assassins arranged by Li Han, right? You You can't let Li Han know that you have martial arts, and you can't let Li Han know that you have guards. You can only silence. Moreover, since these four people are assassins, most of them will die if they fail to complete the task. You are just protecting what you should protect ,you're not wrong."

"Your Majesty is very reasonable, it is really a blessing to all the people of Xiliang." Qin Changge's tone did not sound ironic at all, and he smiled lightly, "Since Your Majesty does not ask me to kill anyone who kills me, then I will resign."

She smiled, clapped her hands, and passed by Xiao Jue.

Suddenly Xiao Jue stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder.

Frowning, Qin Changge slowly looked at his shoulder, then at his hand, and said in a calm but clear tone, "Your Majesty, there are many people here, looking at you and me."

"Don't call me Your Majesty, don't worry about those people," Xiao Jue said in a sonorous tone, his eyebrows raised like swords, "Chang Ge, I know you are angry, you should be angry with me, I am confused."

Qin Changge looked at him calmly.

Xiao Jue was not discouraged by such a calm and broad but actually a bit chilly gaze, he just insisted on saying what he wanted to say, "I regretted it halfway down the mountain just now, there must be something hidden in it, you are not that kind of person- - Changge, in fact, for many years, I have been on the ninth floor, and I have seen all kinds of insidious tricks. If it were someone else, I might feel pity for Li Han, but I would not feel so chilled. Just now I was thinking , Why am I like this? I am abnormally chilled, irritable, impatient, and faintly worried. I am not an ignorant child, and I shouldn’t be like this! When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I finally figured it out. It was because the person who did this was You, I'm not chilling for Li Han at all, I'm for you, in the deepest part of my heart, I'm more afraid of the woman I love, I'm really addicted to hatred, I'm really freezing my whole heart, I really don't know the world What joys and sorrows are only tormented by hatred——Changge, I think that is a terrible thing. People whose hearts are shackled by hatred will no longer have any happiness in this life. I am afraid that you will. "

He clamped Qin Changge's shoulders hard, turned her to him, stared into her eyes with burning eyes, "Changge, I will avenge your revenge, no matter whether you are willing to come back to me now, at least when Ruiyi died At that time, I was still my wife, my queen, and I was in vain as the lord of a country. I couldn’t protect each other in life, and I couldn’t avenge in death. What face do I have to survive in the world? The land that was laid down?"

"Xiao Jue," Qin Changge raised his eyelashes, and finally looked directly at Xiao Jue, "You think I won't treat Li Han that way, you think you misunderstood me, so you turn around, but, if, I really am like that You didn't misunderstand me when you treated Li Han, if I really indulge in hatred, distort my heart, and become a bad woman, will you laugh at yourself for misjudging someone and regret it again?"

"No!" Xiao Jue uttered words like broken gold, resolutely without hesitation, "I won't misunderstand you, you are not that kind of person, Changge, at the beginning, I didn't trust you enough, but those mistakes I made , a big fire in Changle has taught me enough lessons, all these years alone, in the lonely deep palace, I thought a lot, understood a lot, so I swore many times, give me another chance, I will never repeat the same mistakes, Changge, I know now, without trust, how can I say deep love? Believe me, I am really just afraid that you will hurt your heart by indulging in insidious means, but I will not trust you again. "

"If one day, that hatred comes to an end, and you find that you are facing an extremely powerful enemy, a country, or even the world," Xiao Jue's eyes were deep, and a fire was ignited in his eyes, which seemed to ignite a fire in a flash. "Then, I will kill people, I will challenge that country, and I will conquer the world. If you want to avenge yourself, then, if you kill people, I will help you dispose of the corpses; if you destroy the country, I will help you send troops; Ping Tianxia, ​​I will help you launch the army, gallop the battlefield with you, and challenge the heroes of the world with your sword——Changge, okay?"

Changge, okay?

In my memory, many years ago, that handsome young man held a newly bloomed rose and asked over and over again, "You don't wear flowers, let me see if you wear one." , okay? okay?"

He has always been like this, frank and clear, bright and bright, like that, going regardless, persisting.

Under the sky, on the cliff, the man on the opposite side spoke silently in a silent and persistent gesture.

His fingers clamped deeply into her shoulders, as if he wanted to force every word he said into her heart deeply.

His turbulent waves and her calm and deep dive are not in harmony but inexplicably fit together.

The evening wind picked up.

Blowing through the Fufeng Pavilion, a tree blooms with flowers.

While the flowers were flying, Qin Changge gently picked up a residual flower, flicked his fingertips, and the petals moved slowly in the air like a thread, until they slowly fell into the abyss.

Xiao Jue looked at the trajectory of the flower, heading towards eternal death, his eyes flickered, and he said for a long time: "You——have you rejected me?"

"The birth and death of all things has its own definite number, love and hatred are like the tide."

Qin Changge said lightly: "How impermanent is fate? It's too early to say anything before we reach the other shore."

She smiled slightly.

"Wait for time."

Being an emperor is happier than being a minor official in the Ministry of Fifth Rank—at least the emperor can sleep well after returning to the palace, and poor Zhao Yuanwailang has to return to the Ministry of Punishment. Today it is her turn to be on the night shift.

After finishing the backlog of official business, Qin Changge took a lantern and went to inspect the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

When the guards at the gate saw Qin Changge coming, they hurriedly fawned over and opened the gate. Qin Changge uncovered Li Li's case, and now he is famous all over the world.

Holding the lantern, he walked slowly around the dark cell. Qin Changge's eyes glanced at the last cell inadvertently. A man was moaning with his back to her. He seemed to be in pain. Qin Changge Ge frowned, stood still, and asked the accompanying jailer, "Which case is this prisoner? Why don't you go to treat him when he's sick?"

"Oh, it's a murder case. This man's name is Cao Qianquan. He's a rich man. He killed someone in a street quarrel a month ago. Because of his cruel methods, he has already committed a murder. He will be executed soon. Anyway, he is a person who is about to die. It's nothing." The jailer smiled flatteringly, and showed Qin Changge the way: "My lord has worked hard, but the little ones have food and wine outside, how about a cup?"

"Hmm..." Qin Changge responded lightly, but he was thinking in his heart. Looking at this person's back, he was thin and torn, and he didn't look like a rich man at all. What's more, since he was born in a rich family, there was no one to take care of him, and even when he was sick, he didn't see his family visit him. ?

She slowly walked around to the side of the cell, raised the lantern higher, and said, "You, raise your head."

The man didn't seem to hear, the jailer cursed again, and he trembled all over and raised his head.

It has a very strange face shape, such as thin cheeks that have been shaved by a knife, and there is an obvious scar across the forehead on the face, and a pair of triangular eyes are dim.

Qin Changge's hand holding the lamp trembled.

"...The family of Wang Laosan, the poorest under the stone bridge in the west of the city, suddenly became rich, and moved to the north of the city to buy a small courtyard."

"...Wang Laosan disappeared recently. Today, another person who came to dinner mentioned that he suspected that the money came from a wrong way. He said that Wang Laosan, with a scarred face and triangular eyes, is not worthy of getting rich."

Scarred face, triangular eyes.

It turned out that it was in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Qin Changge smiled calmly in the shadows, and first said to the jailer: "I like peanuts, prepare some for me."

"Good!" The jailer dared to invite, but he never thought that this noble and outstanding adult would actually agree, and he hurried out after being flattered. Qin Changge put the lantern aside, bent down, and Looking at the prison door, he said softly, "Wang Laosan, why are you here?"

The sick man turned his head suddenly, stared at Qin Changge with wide eyes, and said for a while, "How could you..." Seemingly thinking of something suddenly, he hurriedly changed his words, and said, "Who is Wang Laosan? You misunderstood the person, right? "

"Well," Qin Changge looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and nodded, "Perhaps I misunderstood the person, so naturally there is no need to deal with Wang Laosan's family being kicked out of the newly bought yard." You said, you can wait for your head to be beheaded, I'm leaving."

She left as soon as she said she wanted to, and turned around without hesitation. There was a clatter of Ding Lin behind her, and the man had rushed over with chains and shackles, grabbed the iron grille of the cell, clattered and shook it, and shouted in grief and indignation: "How could you be kicked out? how come!"

Turning around, Qin Changge sneered, "Isn't it related to you?"

"You tell me, you tell me," the man with a high fever, with two blobs of abnormal blushing on his cheeks, shook the cell door frantically, "I can't take my life and be deceived again!"

"Well, I also think that you are really at a disadvantage." Qin Changge squatted down with a smile, and said softly: "Then, tell me too, how can I save you?"

On June [-]th of the fourth year of Qianyuan, Long Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, accepted bribes and replaced the death row with innocent people.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice immediately sealed up and froze all case files, and everyone was suspended pending investigation. Yingdu Mansion was ordered to conduct an inventory of the prisons and investigate the case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice replacing death row prisoners.

After this counting, it was found that there were nearly ten similar cases over the years. Most of them were rich people who killed or injured people. Qi and related criminal officials are at large.

This is the biggest official scandal since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a new shocking case.

The people of Yingdu, who have been shocked by successive horror incidents this year, no longer doubted tacitly this time, and maintained strong confidence - just wait for a miracle.
