That man claimed that he was short of money and had met the Madam Wang on the street, hence he thought of such a way to trick people into spending money. As for the Xianyuer, in reality, he only had half of a fresh blood, and his father had traveled far and wide to do business. He got to know his mother, who was a Xianyuer but died in childbirth.
This excuse obviously could not be explained, but just as Zhou Leping was about to ask, the person's head tilted to the side and bit his tongue to commit suicide.
There was no way to prove it. It was really a very poisonous method.
Although Lin Jing did not succeed, it was not like he did not have any gains either. Zhou Leping had escaped without permission while being placed under house arrest, and had even went into and out of the Sky Prison in violation of an order.
Although the Emperor felt that he had let Zhou Leping down a little, he was actually seen by someone.
However, to be able to prove that she was innocent in the end was a relatively insignificant punishment.
After bringing Xiao Wan in, he did not say a word, and when the matter was settled, everyone dispersed. Lin Jing stared at him, and then he went over and smiled, "The corpse of the official has already been delivered to your residence, rest assured, my lord. It's clean and there's not a single clue left behind."
Although they still did not come to a conclusion as to who had kidnapped Xiao Wan, everyone was well aware of this fact. As long as they did not get caught in the end, it was fine.
Lin Jing looked at the Ministry of Justice encyclopedia, many thoughts running through his mind. You must say that he couldn't be a human, his way of doing things has never been wrong, he understood everything in his heart, but he didn't say anything excessive. For example, this time, he had dealt with matters regarding the corpses well, and it was extremely difficult for him to be confused.
But to say that he was one of his own, that was not very proper, and that was not important. As long as he did not cause trouble for, Lin Jing would still tolerate him.
After taking it, Zhao Deng who was waiting by the side immediately took off her outer clothes and draped it over her. Her original clothes had already been cut into bloody strips by the whip, and it just so happened that a few days later, her body was covered with a few dozen new, sinister, bloody wounds.
Zhu Guanliang was right, on her body, if one thought about it carefully, it was true that she had recuperated more than she had in her previous life, and was extremely injured.
Go back and let Zhu Guanliang have a good time for you to see. Eat better, and recuperate. Zhao Deng's eyes were filled with tears, "Since you said you were back, you have only been seen by me three times, and yet you are injured so heavily. You are a woman, many men can't even endure it, how can you endure this?"
She comforted him, "It's good to get used to it. In a few days, laozi will be a good man again."
Zhao Deng supported her back, and just as they walked out of the main entrance of the Hall of Punishment, He Shibi bowed and appeared with a smile on his face, "General, the emperor invites you."
Zhao Deng impatiently sent He Shibi away, "Won't we go? Didn't we already investigate everything thoroughly? Zhou Leping was wronged, she is currently injured, and needs to quickly return home to recuperate. Go back and tell Royal Brother that she has offended him, and in a while, this king will personally come to the palace to beg for forgiveness. "
In this life, having such a friend was something that he would never regret in his entire life. Zhou Leping was extremely touched, and she secretly swore in her heart that she would do anything to Qian Qian when he returned to his parents' home!
He Shibi looked at Zhou Leping with difficulty, "General, this..."
Zhou Leping patted Zhao Deng's shoulder, "Go back first, the Emperor still has some details he wants to ask me about, I'm fine, I can still hold on for a while."
I'm going to talk to the Royal Brother. Even if I have to ask, I don't think I need this moment to do so, right?
"Your Highness..." Zhou Leping firmly held onto his wrist, "It is impossible to disobey Imperial orders, please don't make this subject bear another crime of disrespect, if I continue, I will really become crippled."
She looked pitiful. No matter how much Zhao Deng forced her, she would have to let him go no matter what, but at the same time, she warned He Shibi worriedly, "Alright, I'll help your General. If there's even the slightest mistake, this duke will not forgive you!"
He Shibi patted his chest as he guaranteed, "Prince, don't worry, this servant will carry the general on his back as well."
But how could Zhou Leping really let him carry them? With each step he took, he followed He Shibi to the front of the emperor, enduring the pain in his heart as he cupped his fists and bowed.
Zhao Shiqian held her hand and helped her up. "Don't stand on ceremony if you're injured, quickly stand up and go inside. We have called the imperial physician to treat you."
Inside was a small bed separated by a screen. Zhou Leping walked in and very consciously laid on the bed. When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Shiqian's figure pacing back and forth and felt an inexplicable sense of security.
"The clothes on him is Seventh Bro's, right?" Zhao Shiqian was also looking at her through the screen, but she couldn't see it as clearly as she could from the inside.
"Yes."
"We..." I'm sorry. "
"Your majesty is too serious. The emperor has never wronged this subject. This subject was not careful. Since I've been captured, I have to accept the punishment willingly. This subject does not hold any grudges against you."
Zhao Shiqian slowed his footsteps, walked to the front of the screen and stood there, wanting to go in but lacking the courage.
The two of them went silent, and there were only weak sounds in the hall.
After a while, the imperial physician came in. It was actually a female imperial physician. After cutting her clothes, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw the wounds on her body. "General, please hold it in. It might hurt a little."
"It's nothing, I can endure it."
Last time, she was almost killed by the bear's paw. She had already endured such a deep wound, but this time she was able to endure it even after being whipped a few times.
Zhao Shiqian felt a burst of anxiety when he heard it from the outside.
However, her facial features could still be vaguely seen. Back then, there were a few potholes on her face, some pustules of various sizes that could not be removed. Her face was dark and yellow, with some black spots on it.
Zhao Shiqian's feelings towards Zhou Leping were currently very strange. On one hand, it was because she felt that she was disappointed with her current appearance, and on the other hand, she was even a little disgusted, not wanting to get close to her. She only wanted to straighten out the relationship between the two, and hoped that her loyalty would continue to be the same as usual.
On the other hand, he didn't want to see others being nice to her. Whether it was Zhao Deng or Zhu Guanliang, whoever approached Zhou Leping would make him feel uncomfortable.
This contradictory feeling was searing in his heart. He was at a loss as to what to do. Time and time again, he would pull her closer to him, yet again and again he would hurt her.
