Chapter 48 I want to be a witness!

Princess's Mansion.

Li Xingluo was quietly turning the pages of the book. The book in her hand was the manuscript of a master craftsman from the previous dynasty. It was also the book that the "Master Kongxu" had borrowed the most after he entered the Princess's Mansion.

Flipped for a while.

can't read.

But it’s harmless.

As an imperial princess, she doesn't need to be a jack of all trades, she just needs to have subordinates with different talents.

She was not interested in puppeteers before because she had a clear understanding that puppets were an extremely inefficient auxiliary means.

Perhaps the combat power it provides can surpass that of all other weapons.

But its cost is bound to be several times that of other weapons.

She felt that it was irrational to spend so much money to exchange for a "human form", and she developed a prejudice against all puppeteers.

Until I met this man who called himself Taoist Master Kongxu.

The miraculous method of endowing spirits was only secondary. The idea of ​​returning puppet refining to weapon refining was what really amazed her.

The unique soul-infusing method of puppet refining is used on various novel weapons. The weapons have specialized attack methods, which can not only greatly reduce the complexity of soul-infusing, but also allow their owners to use them as easily as with their own arms.

This is the way to unleash the strongest combat power at the lowest cost.

When fighting alone, it may not be as good as those so-called magic weapons.

But on the battlefield, it is absolutely an extremely terrifying existence.

genius!

This guy is an absolute genius!

Just as the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Pu Mingzhu walked over quickly: "Princess, he's gone!"

"Oh? How was your performance when you left?"

"Insanely angry!"

"I'm not stupid."

Li Xingluo smiled slightly. Although he would take action this time, the Qin family's position was too delicate, so he would try to avoid suspicion as much as possible.

The son of the Marquis of Zhennan is also very wise.

When visiting, go through the back door.

I stood in the cold wind for an hour.

After getting the bhupa, he immediately pretended to hit a wall and left angrily.

Good.

Pu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Princess Di! Are you really going to take action this time? You also said that His Majesty is not very supportive."

Li Xingluo said calmly: "Not opposing means supporting! Mammy, what's the situation outside now?"

Pu Mingzhu said calmly, "Those who can pretend to be dead are pretending to be dead, but the Honglu Temple is not going to let them go so easily. Many of them have been found. Those people are already discussing how to impeach Qin Yanying in the morning court tomorrow so that he can be executed."

Li Xingluo couldn't help but sneer: "They are dreaming. If they execute Qin Yanying, Daqian will be completely reduced to their vassal once there is civil unrest."

"Empress! Then tomorrow...are we going to rob a case?"

“Why do you want to rob?”

"Ok?"

"Seizing the case will only lead to endless mutual attacks. This case should have belonged to the Honglu Temple. How can we seize it?"

"Then... not robbing?"

"Don't grab it!"

Li Xingluo showed a hint of smile on his face: "They can judge their cases, and we can judge our cases!"

Pu Mingzhu pondered over this sentence several times, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Empress Di is still smart!"

"Mammy, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"We will definitely fulfill our mission!"

Pu Mingzhu responded and quickly left the Princess's Mansion.

Although this plan is brilliant, it is also fraught with difficulties.

If you want to try your own case, you must first have a case to try.

There are at least two problems lying ahead.

First, how to establish a case.

Second, how to bring out the “criminal”.

Putting aside the most difficult second question, just establishing a case is not an easy task.

Because I want to file a case.

At least someone has to report it.

Even the powerful people in Beijing tried to avoid this case if possible.

It is almost impossible to expect those civilians who have been silenced to stand up.

As for being completely exonerated.

Can't even think about it.

……

The next day.

The morning court was in full swing.

Countless officials impeached Qin Yanying for his arrogance and indiscriminate killing of relatives of corrupt officials.

All kinds of accusations were thrown at Qin Yanying like rain. Some said that she wanted to tarnish the evil official's loyalty and ambition to Daqian.

Some people also said that the Qin family wanted to force out the evil official and take advantage of the emptiness of Daqian to occupy the magpie's nest.

No matter how outrageous it is, it doesn't matter.

The purpose is to ask the emperor to sentence Qin Yanying to death.

Li Hong naturally didn't listen to any of it. He just treated it as an ordinary case and handed it over to the Honglu Temple as per convention, allowing the relevant officials to try the case themselves. This ended the chaos in the morning court.

However, the case caused a lot of commotion in the court.

There was no movement among the people, as if nothing had happened.

It’s just…what happened happened.

Covering your mouth can prevent you from speaking.

But the memories engraved in the mind are not so easy to erase.

Those who were present yesterday will never forget that absurd scene.

Children and pregnant women were pulled by the cart. There was a huge snake corpse in front. A strong man covered with scales was following ferociously. The tied-up prisoner was the famous General Qin Yanying.

That scene gave many people nightmares.

But some people suffer more than them.

The night is already deep.

Qing Tiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Fu Gui heard the noise and opened his eyes dazedly: "Madam, are you still not asleep?"

"How can I sleep?"

Qing Tiao smiled bitterly: "General Qin was captured after he saved us, and there has been no news since then."

Fu Gui shuddered and immediately became much more sober. He lowered his voice and warned, "Don't think about these things. This kind of big thing is not something that ordinary people like us can participate in!"

"Why not? That evil snake wants to eat children, so can't I testify against it?"

"If we really need you to testify, why would we need to let you go back?"

Fu Gui's expression was extremely serious: "Have you ever thought about why they only tied up General Qin and not the evil snake that wanted to harm you?"

Qing Tiao said as a matter of course: "It was because General Qin acted in time that we didn't suffer any casualties, so the demon snake took advantage of the opportunity."

"how is this possible?"

Fu Gui laughed at himself: "Do you still remember the young yamen who broke my leg? He beat me in the street, did anyone catch him? Why did you only tie up General Qin and not the demon snake? It's because the demon snake didn't have time to hurt you. Even if he had hurt you, he wouldn't have been tied up.

Because only the lives of those noble lords count, the lives of us common people do not count!

So General Qin committed a crime, and the demon snake was not responsible at all!

Don’t say he is a evil official!
Even the human nobles are like this.

When the powerful and wealthy kill civilians, there won't be any ripples.

But if someone kills him for killing people, then the matter will become a big deal.”

"How can this be true in the world?"

Qing Tiao was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Then General Qin is no longer right. No, we can't do this!"

Fu Gui was startled: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to be a witness for General Qin! As long as this matter is known to everyone, I don't believe they can still convict General Qin."

"How can you be a witness? How can you make it known to everyone? You don't even know where General Qin is being tried."

"I'll report it to the official!"

"Which official would dare to take your case?"

Fu Gui was anxious: "My wife! Without the evil officials, the border of Daqian will be in chaos, but without us, there will be no impact! You may not be afraid of death, but don't you consider the child in your belly?"

Qing Tiao gritted his teeth and said, "But if it weren't for General Qin, I would have died yesterday! And if it weren't for the purse given by the Major General, how could I have saved enough money to treat your leg now? As the head of the family, people cannot be without conscience, and I don't want our children to have a pair of conscienceless parents!"

"Then have you ever thought that if you report the case, we might be dead before the case is even filed?"

"I……"

"And no matter what, the demon snake couldn't kill anyone. You can stick to the truth, but what about others? What if they were threatened? What if they were paid? Can you convince them with your words?"

"But……"

"besides!"

Fu Gui said anxiously, "How will you testify then? In public, will you say that you took money and sold it as a lucky charm? Will you and I be able to survive in the future? And how will our children be criticized?"

Qing Tiao was stunned and his body began to tremble.

In the past, she always persuaded herself not to care about other people's strange looks.

But at this moment, all the contempt that she had ignored in the past was returned to her many times over.

The night was very dark.

But she felt as if countless pairs of eyes appeared on the roof.

These eyes seemed to be looking at trash and sluts, full of contempt and lust.

The gazes that fell on her were like sharp blades, as if they wanted to cut off her flesh piece by piece.

She trembled...

At one point, I burst into tears.

But just as the crying started, a voice that did not belong to the couple suddenly sounded in the room.

"There's no need to cry so early!"

"!!!"
