I Became the Heroine of Abusive Novel and Her Elder Brother - Chapter 56
There have been rumors in the DPRK and China recently, saying that the fifth prince suddenly got the emperor’s blue eye and entered the punishment department at a young age.
How much honor is that?
Some people say that it was because Emperor Qing Ping favored Concubine Shu and favored the royal family, some people said that Xue Yan secretly had some tricks, and some people said that it was because other princes frequently caused trouble and attracted the attention of the emperor to him.
No matter what the reason is, in a word, everyone knows that Xue Yan has had great luck.
But Xue Yan felt annoyed.
In the past, Emperor Qing Ping hated him, and he wished that there was no such person in the palace. Instead, he was happy to be quiet and planned and arranged by himself, and there was nothing difficult to do. On the contrary, this time, the fate of his evil star was solved in front of Emperor Qingping. He suddenly seemed to be ill and became his own father overnight.
Xue Yan never knew that having a biological father was such a troublesome thing.
Not only was he summoned to talk one after another, but he also found a useless position for him in the punishment department, and he had to do trivial chores every day.
Generally, you can’t catch up.
It also led to several temptations from Dongchang, and taught him to spend a lot of time and show sincerity before appeasing them.
However, for Xue Yan, all these things can be considered. Only one thing, like a flame falling on a dry pyre, ignited all the things that annoyed him.
Xue Yan irritably pulled out the hidden compartment on the carriage, and took out a thin book from it.
Due Sutra.
He opened the scripture book with one hand and read it boringly.
The thing that annoyed him the most was that Jun Huailang was gone.
As if leaving no trace at all, when he returned to Mingluan Palace, even the luggage in the east hall was emptied. The huge side hall was re-locked, as if no one had ever lived in it.
That person disappeared from his world without a sound, just when he vaguely understood what kind of feelings he had for the other party.
The heart was bumping left and bumping against the iron fence all day long, making him in a bad mood every day.
And today, another boring case fell into his hands.
It seems that Emperor Qingping intends to give him a chance to show his talents, so that he can be seen by all officials in the court and also by Emperor Qingping himself. And the officials of the Ministry of Punishment also have their hearts and minds, and if there are any important cases, they will be handed over to him, so that they can sell him some favors.
Although Xue Yan didn’t want to appreciate it, the official was considered his top no matter what, and he had to do the assigned tasks.
The official asked him to recover the son of a household official who had embezzled huge sums of money.
The boy is the official’s direct son. After his father was sacked, the Ministry of Punishment plundered his home as usual. Unexpectedly, the account book of the stolen home could not match the number, and there was a deficit of more than 10,000 taels of silver.
It turned out that this kid fled with his father’s stolen money and hid in a concubine’s house. After the investigation by the court, he took his concubine, wife and children and fled the city together, wanting to carry the money incognito and live happily ever after.
In Xue Yan’s opinion, this kind of problem can be solved by sending someone to arrest and torture him, but the minister of punishment insists Xue Yan do it.
Although the original intention of the Minister of Punishment was to sell Xue Yan for a benefit, so that he could capture the boy back without any trouble, and the stolen money was not stolen.
But how could he think of it, Xue Yan didn’t take this money into his eyes at all.
Therefore, this flattery is slapped on the hoof.
Xue Yan waited boredly. After a while, a soldier came to report that he had caught someone and asked if he could close the team.
Xue Yan raised his hand and signaled that he was going to get out of the car.
“In this trial.” He said lightly.
He received information in the past two days, saying that the concubine of the young master was a clean servant he ransomed in the brothel a month ago. Long before redeeming her, the two of them had already made an oath, and it was absolutely necessary for you. For the sake of this woman, this young man was beaten by his father while he was still at home, and he just didn’t let him marry him.
When his father had an accident, he was the first to find her with the money to run away with the woman. If it wasn’t for his wife and the child to come to the door, he would not have brought these three people with him.
At this time, when the team is closed, only his family can be captured, and the silver ticket must be hidden with the woman in the brothel.
Xue Yan can’t be bothered to waste time on this kind of shit.
According to his order, Jinbao, who was waiting outside, quickly set up a footstool for him, and asked him to get out of the car. Xue Yan got out of the car and walked straight to the post house without looking sideways.
Only the cries of the women and children left behind.
Jinbao stepped forward quickly and brought him a chair. Xue Yan turned around, lifted the cloak, and sat down on the chair.
“Search.” He said lightly.
Several soldiers stepped forward immediately and searched them up and down, and even the luggage they brought, they all searched clean.
However, there is only a small amount of silver, and there is no huge silver note that this young man took away.
The brothel woman was on the side, sobbing and crying: “The official wants to search, and he needs some reasons. The little girl and the package are all the little woman’s own money, the official. Whatever you want to search, give the little girl an accurate word!”
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears delicately.
Besides, the young master’s wife and two children also cried, for a while, it was very miserable, as if he used power to oppress women and children.
Xue Yan knew that these people just made up their minds and felt that they dared not do anything.
After all, the greedy official had already been sent to prison to raid his house, waiting for the autumn queen to ask him to be executed, and his family members were not implicated. Even if the officials handling the case came, they could not touch them.
The silver note could not be found, and the official family had no evidence. Who knows whether the money was spent or lost? Naturally can’t do anything to them.
But they didn’t know that the person in front of them was Xue Yan.
Most of all, I don’t recognize my six relatives, so I’m not afraid of anything.
He just lifted his eyelids lightly and glanced at Brother Gongzi.
“Where,” he asked.
If the money is handed over, even if the court does not want his life, how can he live? Besides, the woman followed him out of the brothel to live with him, so how could she endure this hardship…
But Xue Yan slowly retracted his gaze, raised his chin, and gestured in the direction of the brothel woman.
“Someone,” he said. “Cut off her finger and ask again.”
A soldier stepped forward.
They followed Xue Yanyueyu, and they were able to understand the master’s orders. The soldier stepped forward and first pressed the brothel woman’s wrist on the table, then another soldier stepped forward and drew out a shiny dagger.
The two turned back and waited for Xue Yan’s next order.
Sure enough, the woman struggled violently and cried, and she was so frightened in front of the dagger that she trembled like a sieve. Brother Young Master’s face also became extremely ugly, his legs were trembling, and he was already a little speechless.
Xue Yan turned to look at him.
“Ask one more time, just chop one, I wonder if her hands are strong enough for you to tell the truth.” He said lightly. “If you want to force me to ask the eleventh time, then her life will stay here today.”
“Wang Fa?” Xue Yan smiled lazily.
Jinbao, who is standing by his side, is best at observing words and judging people. He glanced at his master’s expression, and a arrogant and sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said lightly, “Wang Fa? Do you know which master is in front of you, so you dare to talk about Wang Fa?”
With the eunuch’s unique high-pitched voice, everyone present shivered.
How many men can the **** serve?
The boy’s legs were weak, and he immediately fell to his knees.
He knew, the person in front of him today must be the prince in the palace. Today, not to mention cutting off the fingers of his concubine, even killing their entire family, no one dared to say a word.
Then, he heard Xue Yan speak lazily: “If you don’t do it yet, do you want me to urge you?”
The dagger fell suddenly.
The woman’s cry suddenly became sharp.
“Husband! Husband save me!” she cried. “Just tell him, tell him!”
The dagger, which fell in half, wiped her fingers and stopped.
“I don’t want to hear more nonsense.” Xue Yan raised his hand, flexed his fingers, and supported it lazily on the side of his face.
The son who was kneeling on the ground trembled and said, “I have already sent my little servant to the north overnight. Now it should be in Wangping Village in the northern suburbs of Chang’an.”
Xue Yan looked sideways and glanced at the captain of the soldiers standing beside him.
“Do you hear that?” he asked.
The captain saluted immediately.
The captain should be, leading the soldiers to tie up a few people in an orderly manner.
Xue Yan got up slowly.
Jinbao hurriedly stepped forward, removed the chair that was in the way for him, and gave him a way out: “Master, should I return to the punishment department or the palace.”
Xue Yan said: “Go back to the palace.”
Jinbao hurriedly sighed and turned to put the chair next to him.
Then, a cyan figure standing on the stairs immediately crashed into Jinbao’s eyes.
Being with that Bodhisattva for several months, Jinbao still knows who it is?
He looked up cautiously, and sure enough, His Royal Highness was standing on the stairs, watching all the scenes just now.
Jinbao felt a little stunned.
This… the master’s cruel and arrogant, majestic, arrogant, and ready to ask people’s fingers, take people’s lives, is it not suitable for the Bodhisattva to see?
He only hated himself for being slow, how come he was so close, and he didn’t feel the Buddha’s light on that Bodhisattva.
After entering the treasure, she realized it later, and smiled at Jun Huailang to please.
At this moment, Xue Yan, who walked to the door, found that Jinbao was not following, and turned around impatiently.
“If you don’t get out, are you dead inside?” He turned his head and asked coldly.
Jinbao felt a little stunned.
Master, when did you scold me badly?
Sure enough, he turned his head carefully and saw that the master was not moving.
He and His Royal Highness looked at each other.
The master just now looked at His Highness with lazy, impatient and hostile eyes, where is the arrogant and cold look just now? On the contrary, it was full of surprise and anxiety that could not be hidden.
