Chapter 244 Crushing bones and raising ashes
It was said that there should be a result in five or six days, but Shang Ruyi had to wait for more than half a month.
During this period, no news came from the palace, and she had no chance to enter the palace again. Since Yu Wenyuan and Yu Wenye were not here, she gradually stopped hearing news from the palace.
The calmness that she should have had gradually disappeared as she waited day after day, and her uneasiness began to slowly engulf her.
Why no results yet?
That day in the palace, she gave that answer. Regardless of whether it was consistent with the confession given by Yu Wenye or not, Dali Temple should have a reaction, either to determine that Yu Wenye was guilty, or to It is concluded that she, Shang Ruyi, deceived the emperor, and this is not a difficult matter. Why has it been delayed for so long, but there is no movement at all?
What does Wang Shaoji want to do?
Chu Yang, what do you want?
Although he had already given away clothes once before, more than half a month later, Shang Ruyi took out some more things, packed them in a bag and gave them to Chang Wan. He still gave her another bag of silver and ordered her to deliver them. Go to Dali Temple and hand it over to Yu Wenye.
Chang Wan said with some embarrassment: "Young Madam, last time I couldn't go in to see the Second Young Master, I'm afraid this time -"
Shang Ruyi said: "You don't have to force it."
"Yes."
"When you go this time, it mainly depends on the attitude of the people in Dali Temple towards you."
Chang Wan seemed to understand and said: "Yes."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
It took a long time to go there. By the time she came back, the sun was almost setting. Shang Ruyi couldn't eat the food on the table. When he saw her coming back in a hurry, he immediately asked: "How is it?"
< br>Chang Wan's breath was uneven and her expression was strange, but she still respectfully saluted her when she came in: "Young Madam."
Shang Ruyi said: "Have you seen him?"
Chang Wan shook his head: "The people in Dali Temple still refused to let the slave in, and the slave still asked someone to exchange the money as before. Just pass the thing in."
"So, what is the other party's attitude toward you?"
"It's better than the last time I went there, but I still have money to talk to."
Chang Wan finished these words in a hurry, and wanted to say something eagerly, but she was panting so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. Shang Ruyi noticed something strange about her, so he asked Tu Sheer to pour a glass of water for her and said, "If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
Chang Wan thanked her, took the cup and drank it. After two mouthfuls, he finally recovered.
Then he whispered: "Young madam, this time, while waiting for the man to pass the baggage in, I overheard a few people talking in Dali Temple and heard something."
“What’s the matter?”
"The name is Kou - Kou Yunliang. He is the supervisor who was killed by the second young master this time."
"Him?"
Shang Ruyi frowned immediately upon hearing this name. , although the focus of this case is his death, he is already dead after all and has become an unimportant symbol. Why is he suddenly mentioned again?
So he asked: "What have you heard about him?"
Chang Wan said softly: "I heard that this man seems to have been ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to be beaten - broken bones and Yang Yang. Gray!”
"What?!"
When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.
A broken bones and ashes?
Kou Yunliang? !
She couldn't believe her ears. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked at Chang Wan: "Is it really him? He was crushed to ashes? Did you hear that correctly?"
Chang Wan said: "Although the slave was standing outside the wall waiting, those people were not very careful when talking about this matter, as if it was not a secret. Therefore, the slave heard clearly that Kou Yunliang's name was definitely That’s right.”
“…… "
"Furthermore, they themselves are wondering, since Kou Yunliang has been crushed to pieces, why haven't they let the second young master go?"
"..."
"Young Madam. , everything you say is true.”
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at her solemnly for a while, thought about it again, and then said: "You did a good job, go down and rest first."
Chang Wan said : "Yes."
She turned and left.
As soon as she left, Shang Ruyi's brows immediately wrinkled again. Although it was not fear, there was a heavy worry weighing on her brows like a mountain. She lowered her head and looked at the delicate table on the table. At this time, she had no appetite at all for the dishes. She waved her hand and said: "Get rid of it."
Tusheer on the side, who came back from Changwan, had an expression on her face at first: displeasure, then surprise, and then disbelief. At this time, she was as heavy as Shang Ruyi, but she was not as heavy as usual. Instead, he took the dishes off the table and brought water and towels to help Shang Ruyi wash his hands.
After everything was done, I made another cup of tea and sent it to Shang Ruyi.
It was only then that she said: "Miss, I don't understand."
Shang Ruyi raised his head to look at her, but saw that the wrinkles between her eyebrows were somewhat formed. It was obvious that she had just done something. I have been frowning all the time, maybe because I have been thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little funny.
said: “What don’t you understand?”
Instead, Tu Sheer asked her: "Miss, do you understand?"
"..."
"That Kou Yunliang was a person appointed by the emperor, so he was killed because of him. Lock him up for interrogation, why, and then give him to ashes? ?"
"..."
"Could it be that the emperor already knew that he was wrong?" Although she thought of this level, her knowledge was limited and she could not tell anything more profound. But Shang Ruyi had already realized what she meant.
That was what shocked her just now.
Since the court imprisoned and interrogated Yu Wenye for Kou Yunliang's death, that is to say, the court's premise was that Kou Yunliang was right, he represented the dignity of the court and the emperor, and the murderer needed to die for his death. Responsible.
And crushing him to ashes overturns this presupposition.
Moreover, it was the emperor’s order.
But why did the emperor's attitude towards him change like this?
Shang Ruyi thought, subconsciously turning her head to look at her shoulder - the arrow wound had healed due to proper care after she came back. Moreover, she used the box of cleansers that Chu Yang gave her. Henshuang, those ugly scars have really begun to slowly fade away. Maybe after a while, there will be no traces of arrows left on her body.
However, the matter of being hit by an arrow really does exist.
She was indeed hit by an arrow in Xingluocang, and Kou Yunliang surrounded her, allowing his men to shoot her.
Shang Ruyi subconsciously reached out and touched his thin shoulder. Although it was far away from his heart, at this moment, another uncontrollable heartbeat suddenly appeared.
Yes, for her?
Because it wasn’t until she entered the palace that day to answer Zhai Ying’s question that Chu Yang knew that she had been injured in Xingluocang. After that, he immediately left the palace to give her medicine for her injuries. Obviously, he had hurt her. The matter of being injured by an arrow is taken very seriously.
And Queen Jiang also said something - your injury cannot be in vain.
When she said those words, she seemed sure that someone would take this breath for her and avenge her.
So, although Kou Yunliang died, he was still crushed to death.
Shang Ruyi suddenly felt that her heart was beating a little hard, and it even hurt her a little. Her hand slowly moved from the lightly touched shoulder to her heart, and pressed it hard.
It's like trying to hold down that point that shouldn't be throbbing.
Tu Sheer on the side was worried: "Miss, your face looks so ugly. Is the wound hurting again?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time, finally took a deep breath, suppressed the strange heartbeat, and then said: "It's okay."
"Miss, that Kou Yunliang——"
"Smashing his bones and raising ashes represents His Majesty's attitude towards this matter."
"Attitude?"
"Since we have dealt with Kou Yunliang, we have determined that he was at fault."
Tu Sheer's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Although for a moment, she felt that Chu Yang might be doing it for herself, but when she thought about it again, Chu Yang dealt with Kou Yunliang, and he did not do it in private, nor did he hide it from the people in Dali Temple. In other words, He had already determined that Kou Yunliang was at fault, so he would deal with him.
What he avenged was not a "private" revenge.
It’s just that the method of crushing bones and raising ashes is somewhat selfish.
Regardless of personal grudges or selfish motives, now that Kou Yunliang has been dealt with, the outcome of this case is already very simple. The fault lies with Kou Yunliang, so there is no problem for Yu Wenye to kill him, and there is no conspiracy or rebellion. crime.
Hearing what Shang Ruyi said, Tu Sheer breathed a sigh of relief and said overjoyed: "That's great!"
Shang Ruyi was not as happy as she was.
On the contrary, the shadow between the eyebrows became a little deeper.
Seeing her like this, Tusheer also became confused and asked: "Miss, why are you unhappy? Didn't you say that the emperor has determined that the fault lies with Kou Yunliang, and that uncle is innocent."< br>
Shang Ruyi looked up at her and said, "It was more than half a month ago that I was interrogated in the palace."
"..."
"And Kou Yunliang's death will definitely not happen in the past two days."
"..."
"Since the emperor has already It was determined that Kou Yunliang was at fault and he was dealt with. Then Yu Wenye should be released, but until now, there has been no movement in Dali Temple."
When he heard this, Tu Sheer suddenly came back to his senses. Come.
You must know that Yu Wenye was a general who had just recaptured Xingluocang and made great achievements. He had a high reputation among the people. Not only was he not rewarded when he returned to the court this time, he was instead taken to Dali Temple for trial. This also caused a stir among the people. There was a lot of controversy, and many people were dissatisfied with the imperial court, believing that the imperial court's actions were harming loyalty and destroying the Great Wall.
In this case, the court should indeed release the person immediately.
Tu Sheer immediately felt worried and whispered: "Miss, why hasn't the court released him yet?"
Shang Ruyi said: "The emperor already knows the truth, but more than half of them Yue, there is no news and he is not letting anyone go. In this case, it seems like he is waiting for something.”
“What are you waiting for?”
Shang Ruyi shook his head and remained silent.
While she was meditating, a horse and horse galloped out of the wind and snow, and finally entered the Eastern Capital City at the last moment when the city gate closed.
The man on horseback has a pair of resolute and determined eyes that have experienced many vicissitudes of life.
