Chapter 228 Fu Lang is a complainant (14)

   "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

  Wen Yan thanked the person sitting above him with a trembling voice, and finally let go of the heart that had been carrying him all the time.

  But he also knew that the matter of hurting His Royal Highness would never be so easy.

  Su Qiruo looked at Cui Zhu who was kneeling there, and said coldly: "You, raise your head."

  Wen Yan kicked Cui Zhu's leg, Cui Zhu hurriedly raised her head against her pale face.

   "My hall asks you, do you know what crime should be committed by insulting the court officials and the current prince?"

   "Slave... I don't know..."

   Cui Zhu was totally dumbfounded, the person he scolded today was actually His Royal Highness.

   "Master Wen..."

   "The next official is here. Insulting the imperial court officials should be punished by kneeling for three days and beating fifty big boards. Insulting the royal family should be punished... the death penalty, and the three clans."

  Wen Yan is afraid that the entire Wen family will be implicated!

  This damned green bamboo, it’s okay to be strong enough to protect the master at ordinary times, but she dares to speak quickly when she meets such an obviously unusual person, isn’t she courting death?

  Wen Qingyou, who was kneeling beside her, was also frightened. This was the first time he heard that someone in the royal family was insulting and wanted to punish the three clans.

  Will the emerald bamboo die?

   "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have mistaken you for the blackmailer, so I didn't stop my servant. Please show mercy to Cuizhu again, he will definitely not dare to do so in the future."

  Wen Qingyou walked up to Ling Yuheng on her knees, hugged his leg and begged bitterly.

  In the past, he only knew how to bully others, but this was the first time he was so humble to intercede for others.

  But Green Bamboo is different to him!

   Cuizhu is his brother who grew up with him since he was a child. He has protected him since he was a child. He can't just watch Cuizhu die.

  Ling Yuheng stared blankly at the man kneeling in front of him. It had been a long time since anyone had called him that.

  He didn't intend to deceive his benefactor's sister, but he didn't dare to reveal his identity directly, for fear that she would think he was a liar.

   It’s just that the benefactor’s sister also said that he is a member of the royal family. Did she really know something, or was it just to support him in front of City Lord Nawen?

  But no matter what it was for, he remembered this kindness.

  Thinking about it carefully, he really owes her too much.

   "Your Highness..."

  Wen Qingyou knelt in front of Ling Yuheng and kowtowed three times again, and Ling Yuheng came back to his senses.

  Although he likes to sue, he just wants to act like a baby, let people coax him, and have some fun for himself, but he is not a person with malicious intentions.

   "Sister, why don't you give me a lighter punishment!"

  Ling Yuheng also pleaded for Wen Qingyou's willingness to bow his head for the sake of the servant. After all, what the benefactor's sister said just now, this Mr. Wen didn't even seem to admit his mistake.

  Now he is willing to lower his posture for a servant, and the left and right are not heartless people.

  Although the emerald bamboo deserved its crime, it has not yet reached the point of punishing the three clans.

   There should be laws in the world, but there should be no human feelings.

  Su Qiruo glanced at Ling Yuheng, and felt that this child was really soft-hearted.

  If her younger brothers encountered such a thing, they would definitely not intercede for such a slave.

   "Forget it, for Heng'er's sake, then let's take it lightly, pull it out and hit fifty big boards, life and death."

   "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, thank you for your kindness."

   Fortunately, their lives were saved, and this punishment was already the lightest punishment they could imagine.

  Wen Yan couldn't help but feel ashamed. He knelt there and begged for a long time, but it was not as effective as his son's words.

  It seems that the Fifth Highness really dotes on this little prince, and I don't know which palace this child came from, but he is much softer than the other royal family.

After sending the people away, Gu Yu said quietly: "Young master, you are too kind. You shouldn't let such a wicked servant take his life. Even if this is the case with us, if it is an ordinary person, who knows what kind of grievances he will suffer? !"

   "My sister is not in good health, so keeping him alive is all to do good deeds for my sister. If he commits a crime again in the future, he deserves it and has nothing to do with others."

  Ling Yuheng believed that if the 50 boards were beaten, the green bamboo would have lost most of its life even if it didn't die, and it shouldn't be so domineering and bullying in the future.

   "Heng'er is a good boy."

  Su Qiruo smiled lightly, but didn't say much.

  She was not a murderer, and Ling Yuheng's words were exactly what he wanted.

  Ling Yuheng must be well protected, that's why he has such a heart.

   As long as he is more scheming, he will not be harmed like this.

  This silly boy.

Ling Yuheng chuckled lightly, then turned his face back and said to Su Qiruo: "Sister, I heard about some things about the City Lord's Mansion when I was begging, this City Lord Wen is probably not that simple, she seems to have harmed many people. "

  After all, those things are rumors in the beggar circle, and he has no evidence, but he still has to say this, lest that Wenyan do something bad in the future and pour dirty water on others.

  Su Qiruo frowned slightly, and asked Gu Yu to send someone to investigate.

  After today's incident, Wen Yan will definitely be much more honest. If he wants to find out something, it may not be easy.

   "Heng'er, go and look at those jewelry first, I'll go to the study."

  Su Qiruo decides that he still has to write a letter to the capital, so the matter of Wen Yan cannot be delayed.

  If she wanted to make a move in Yucheng, she would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the capital, and she should explain the matter clearly in advance, so as not to cause a commotion in the end.

  The capital city is quite far from Yucheng, and it takes nearly two months to go back and forth. I reported the matter earlier, and when the news came from Beijing, the matter here should almost be over.

  Su Qiruo didn't know anything about Su Qiruo's stay in Yucheng, except for a very few people in Beijing, so she could only write this letter to the princess.

  As for Su Wenjian, we will settle accounts with her after she goes back.

   There must be an explanation for this poisoning.

"it is good."

  Knowing that she was going to do something serious, Ling Yuheng didn't say much, and took Xiaoxi to the backyard.

  Su Qiruo sorted out Wen Yan's affairs in detail, and just waited for some news from the people below, then he could add a few things and send them to the capital.

  As for the matter of being poisoned, Su Qiruo didn't mention a word, only asked the emperor and queen at the end.

  Gu Yu took the secret guards to Wenfu overnight, found a box of ledgers from the secret room of the study, and took only one of them because he was afraid of being discovered.

  If Su Qi turned a few pages, he could see the tricks in it.

   The dirty things hidden in this small jade city may not be that simple.

  Su Qiruo wrote down a few places on the paper and asked Gu Yu to continue to lead people to investigate. To his surprise, Gu Yu found many men who were hidden in the backyard in the brothel.

   Listening to the conversations of the gatekeepers, those men should have been trafficked from various places, and they were sent to the surrounding cities and counties to curry favor with those officials and merchants.
