[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

Chapter 25 Zhaoyang Rises

In the afternoon, the warm sunshine came in through the window and shone on the body, making people want to just take a lazy sleep.Zhaoyang closed her eyes and squinted for a while, until the female officer informed Si Xing Yinggeng to see her, then she opened her eyes.There are still a lot of troublesome things waiting for her to deal with, she nodded and motioned for the female officer to let Yinguki in.

Eiko is Tsukazai's man, and one of the three divisions who sentenced Tatsuya's murderer.For the time being, it can be trusted that Zhaoyang recruited him for no other reason, and she had to read the execution letter of the murderer who killed Tatsuya both in public and in private.Zhaoyang reached out and took the case book that Yingeng handed over, looking down and looking at it.He Qu, also known as Karase, was the first person to be sentenced to death after helping Lu Feng ascend the throne, and he was also the beginning of Liu Guo's abuse of death penalty.

Zhaoyang closed the case book, looked up at Yinguki who was standing there with his head bowed, and said flatly, "You handled this matter well." Before Yingokeng could answer, she continued, "Then, next, Come and judge me."

As soon as the words fell, Yinggeng showed panic, he didn't understand what the Lord meant.When he was summoned by the Lord in the morning, he was still at a loss, but later when he learned that the Lord asked him to bring He Qu's case, he understood a little. The Lord probably wanted to say something about this matter.After all, this is the chief culprit who caused Liu Guo to abuse the death penalty, and he was one of the people who made this sentence.Before coming here, he was ready to be criticized by the master, but he didn't expect the master to praise him like this, and what happened after that was completely beyond his expectation.Judgment, only heaven can judge the king.

Zhaoyang put the case file aside, "Yingeng, you heard me right."

Yinguki asked hesitantly, "What does the lord mean..."

"Literally." Zhaoyang stopped for a moment before continuing, "You should know that you have tried He Qu's case. After he was arrested for committing a crime for the first time, he was assassinated on the way to the prison after the trial. Seriously injured."

Needless to say, Zhao Yang, Eikih also roughly guessed the rest.There was indeed such a thing, but at the time it was classified as revenge for the family members of the victim, and it had little impact on He Qu's trial, so they didn't understand it further.But even if he knew that Zhaoyang was the vengeful relative, Eikin didn't dare to tell the Lord that you were the murderer.Zhaoyang also understood this, and she continued on her own: "He Qu killed my younger brother first. At that time, the county secretary sentenced him to six years in prison. I thought it was unfair, so So he did it himself, and then fled to the Yellow Sea.

"Killing intentionally, escaping, trying to use Dapi in vain, and violating the king's wishes, this is my sentence." Zhaoyang suddenly laughed at himself, "Do you think it's incredible that a criminal should become king?" Even she She couldn't believe that she became king just like that, but now that she had made a decision, she wouldn't back down.

"My lord..." Yinggeng only knew that Wang was a minor official in Xuanying Palace, but he didn't know that Wang had such a past, so he didn't know what to say for a while.What worries him the most is why the Lord said something to him specifically.

"Yinguki, don't be nervous." Sensing Yinguki's emotional fluctuations, Zhaoyang comforted, "I just asked you to come here to ask, do you think I should be sentenced for a few years, just tell the truth."

"My lord, this..." Yinggeng hesitated for a moment, "It should be interrogated by the three divisions."

"Yinguki, you're a smart person, you probably don't understand why I only called you here." There was a hint of threat in Zhaoyang's words, and she tapped her fingers on the table quietly waiting for an answer.

Yinggeng naturally understood why, but it was not an easy question to answer, but he couldn't do without answering. After thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "I see, the master is an attempted murder, plus escape. The master The age of the master is not within the three amnesties, but the master surrendered himself and has a heart of repentance, so he can be counted among the three amnesties. As for the three stabs..." Yingeng said this, and stopped.

The three thorns are also known as the three questions, asking the monarch and ministers, asking the group of officials, and asking the people.Zhaoyang is both a criminal and a king, which is very difficult.

"If I say pardon, will the charge be cleared?"

"Yes." Eiko replied.

Zhaoyang laughed, "It's really a convenient identity, so if you skip me, how many years will you be sentenced to?"

"One to two years." No matter whether you ask the officials or the people, you will not ask for a heavier punishment, and you can't really put the king of your own country in prison, Yingeng thinks so.

"Privilege of the king?" This is much less than what Zhaoyang thought at the beginning, but thinking about Yinggeng, he probably never encountered such a thing. How could there be a king who would put himself in prison? She probably would be first one.Zhaoyang didn't make things difficult for Yinggeng anymore, she picked up He Qu's case book again, "I know, if someone asks about today's incident, you only need to mention the previous one."

"I understand." Yinggeng heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt that maybe the king in front of him was not as rumored.Just when he was thinking this way, Zhaoyang said, "Do you think I don't seem to be as careless as they say?"

Before Yingokeng could answer, Zhao Yang continued, "If I were you, I would act as if nothing happened today, and what happened before will be the same as it will be in the future."

"I understand." Yinggeng cupped his hands.

With nothing else to do, Zhaoyang waved his hand to make Yingokeng retreat.The reason why she called Yingeng over was because she knew that the crimes she was carrying would one day become a sharp knife in the hands of those people.She had to make preparations early, and then she did do something wrong, and since she did something wrong, she would be punished. Although this was just a formality, it could appease public anger.

Zhaoyang read He Qu's case again, and finally stopped at the page of He Qu's first trial. He was originally sentenced to 6 years in prison, but he was released after only 4 years of imprisonment.

"Four years." Zhaoyang murmured, she vaguely guessed who did it, it happened to be the year when Yingli entered the government.

She really didn't expect that her departure would affect him so much.

Zhaoyang looked out the window, and after a while, suddenly remembered that he had never seen Liu Qi since he came back from Mount Penglai.In the past few days, she was busy contacting Yingli to sort out the various forces in the Qing Dynasty, so she didn't take him into consideration for a while.And Liu Qi never bothered her.She really didn't know whether to say Liu Qi was too considerate or too withdrawn, he was not clingy at all, he was always so quiet.

Considering that they will be together for the rest of their lives, Zhao Yang got up and walked out the door, she was going to increase her relationship with her half body.

Taifu is the capital of the state, and he usually has things to deal with, but this is no stranger to Liu Qi, who has lived for more than 120 years, and he is very skilled in reviewing these memorials.This was what Zhaoyang saw when she entered the door, and she knocked on the door very politely.

Liu Qi who heard the voice raised his head and saw Zhaoyang standing at the door with a smile, put down his pen in a panic and stood up: "My lord."

"To bother you."

"No... I just..." Liu Qi was flattered, "Master, why are you here?"

"Come and see you." Zhaoyang walked to the table, and caught a glimpse of the memorial that was still spread out out of the corner of his eye.Liu Qi's handwriting is good, every stroke is vigorous and powerful.Unlike her, she has been writing for so many years, but she still can't practice well.

However, Zhaoyang looked at Liu Qi: "Your handwriting doesn't look like it was written by you, who taught you?" It is said that you can tell a person's character by looking at his handwriting.If the two do not match, it is likely to be a deliberate imitation the day after tomorrow.

"Yes..." Liu Qi bowed his head and remained silent after only one word.

It's helping Lufeng, no wonder he wrote such words, Zhaoyang understood it, and didn't press the question any further, and suggested: "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

Liu Qi nodded.

Just strolling through several palaces one after the other, it's time to eat.

"Liu Qi, let's have dinner together." Zhaoyang said, "Eat alone, so you can accompany me." Qilin and Wang don't eat together, they have their own bedroom and their own secretary. Meals are separated from the palace servants.I didn't feel anything when I ate alone before, but now I feel very lonely sitting on the long empty table.

Liu Qi would never refuse Zhaoyang, so he accepted obediently.

In the evening, in a mansion in Lingyun Mountain, Chief Si Kou Yuanya got the news from his subordinates.What he thought was right, their king was the criminal who murdered and escaped six years ago.When he first knew Wang's name, he felt inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Before meeting Wang today, Ying Geng went through the case file, and as a chief criminal, he naturally knew about it.Wang deliberately bypassed him and summoned a small secretary, who couldn't help but make him suspicious, so he sent his men to check the records, and this investigation reminded him of it all at once.

Others might not be able to see what happened today, but he could, because he was the one who punished Zhaoyang six years ago.At that time, he also overheard Jun Zhou Hou talking about this incident.

This kind of behavior is not a vain attempt to activate Dabi, what else can he openly violate the wishes of his father, how can he tolerate it.Immediately, he rushed back to Zhicao and brought up the matter at the court meeting, but he was dismissed by Zukazai on the grounds that "this is just an ordinary case" without even mentioning his name.The father looked at him and just shook his head.

More than anyone else, he wants to maintain the legal system that his father worked so hard to build. If such a person is not arrested and severely punished, he may drive more people to do outrageous things in the future.Later, he talked to his father several times in private, and his father finally let go and said, "It's up to you." But he didn't expect that she would escape from the Liu Kingdom, and there was no news for six years.

No wonder the king wanted to find Ying Geng, she was trying to hide her crime, Yuan Ya slapped the table and said angrily: "How can a criminal be qualified to be the king of our Liu Kingdom?" This matter is made public, and a criminal must not be allowed to sit on the throne!

At this moment, a person suddenly walked in and bowed to Yuan Ya: "My lord, please be calm, she has become the king, and we can't do anything about her even if we say it now. Why don't we wait until the right time is right?" It’s in our best interest to make this matter bigger.”

The author has something to say:

Yuan Ya is a person who has no independent opinion. She regards his father's thoughts as her own. Even if she is wrong, she will always insist on it. She is called Liu Wang above Liu Wang.
