Hua Lian felt like a storm was rising in her heart.
What do you want to do? Why everyone in front of me knows.
In his previous life, Jiang Rong rescued Hua Lian after his assassination attempt failed.
He was originally the son of Tao, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, Jiangnan.
Last year, Zhou Hongyang went to the south of the Yangtze River to play. When he saw his sister's beauty, he became ill and forced her to take her as his concubine.
His sister didn't want to.
His father knew that he could not afford to offend Zhou Hongyang, and was worried that Zhou Hongyang would retaliate, so he packed up Xinrou overnight and took the whole family to escape to his hometown to avoid trouble.
but……
Couldn't escape.
After Zhou Hongyang was rejected, he was very angry and had been keeping an eye on the Tao family's movements. Seeing their whole family leaving...
He took his entourage to pretend to be a bandit and intercepted him on the way.
The entire Tao family died tragically. Only Hua Lian was lucky enough to survive after falling off a cliff, so she quickly reported the case to the prefect...
But the officials protected him, and he was slandered as a wanted bandit, so he had to escape from Yangzhou.
Hua Lian is a son of a wealthy businessman and has never learned martial arts since he was a child. If he wants to practice martial arts at this age, it will take at least ten years before he has a chance to take revenge...
He was eager for revenge, so he pretended to be a woman and approached Zhou Hongyang as an oiran, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge...
In his previous life, he stabbed Zhou Hongyang when he went to Yanyu Tower, seriously injuring Zhou Hongyang. He was wanted by the whole city for murder. He happened to meet Jiang Rong on his way out and was rescued by Jiang Rong...
"Officers protect each other, what's the use of reporting the crime?" Hua Lian did not hide it anymore, her voice returned to its original male voice, a clear male voice.
Jiang Rong looked at him and said, "The Ministry of Punishment is Zhou Hongyang's territory. There is no point in going to the Ministry of Punishment to report the case. Change the yamen and go to Dali Temple. The minister of Dali Temple is a member of the Duanwang Party and will definitely uphold justice for you."
"Do you think Prince Duan is benevolent and will help me, an ordinary citizen? I don't believe these so-called false claims. They are all fake." Hua Lian sneered.
Jiang Rong smiled softly, "Indeed, all the false names are false. But Prince Duan will definitely make the decision for you, because the Minister of Punishment is a princeling."
Hua Lian was stunned. Prince? King Duan?
During this year, he traveled around the west, looking for opportunities to get close to Zhou Hongyang, and he also knew a little bit about the fact that the Zhou family was so powerful, and it was inseparable from the prince behind it.
Looking for King Duan to deal with Zhou Hongyang? Is this... borrowing strength to gain strength?
"We also found an eyewitness to what happened back then. You take him with you to report the crime. The evidence is conclusive and Zhou Hongyang will definitely die." Jiang Rong continued.
These things she had done in her previous life.
After rescuing Hua Lian, he learned about the massacre of his family...
Immediately send people to Yangzhou to look for any witnesses...
Because there is no proof in isolation.
There was only Hua Lian's testimony, which was insufficient evidence.
After a year of visits and secret investigations, an Orion hunter was finally found on the outskirts of Yangzhou. Back then, he was hunting in the mountains and witnessed the murder of the Tao family, but he did not dare to speak out about it...
Jiang Rong took their whole family to Beiwang Mansion, and the other party agreed to come out and testify...
And this life...
While waiting for Hua Lian to appear, Jiang Rong had already asked Xie Lingxi to send someone to Yangzhou to help her pick up the witness to Beijing.
That Orion came faster than Hua Lian. I arrived in Beijing a few days ago.
"Are there any witnesses?" Hua Lian was even more shocked. The other party seems to know everything about what happened in his house and has been investigating for a long time...
"Yes." Jiang Rong nodded.
Hua Lian was a little confused, "Why do you know about my family?"
"You must have heard something about our grievances with Zhou Hongyang. I want Zhou Hongyang to die. I guess this is not the first time he has raped a girl, so I went to check what he had done before... He went to Yangzhou last year and took a fancy to The daughter of the Tao family, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, ended up with the Tao family being attacked by bandits..." Jiang Rong looked at Hua Lian and casually found an excuse and said:
"I think this matter is very suspicious, so I'm investigating it secretly."
"Qianqiu" is the best-selling book in the capital. Although Hua Lian has just arrived in the capital, she has also heard about Zhou Hongyang's rape of civilian girls...
Yesterday I also witnessed Zhou Hongyang attacking Qiuniang...
This woman's experience was the same as his sister's.
Perhaps because of this, he only thought about saving people at the time, and never thought that he could almost kill Zhou Hongyang.
The doubts in Hua Lian's heart gradually dissipated.
Jiang Rongneng found out that there was another witness, so it was not surprising that he found out his true identity.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past year, thinking only about how to avenge his family...
This time when I went to Beijing, I was prepared in case the assassination failed...
Unexpectedly, everything suddenly went smoothly! The smoothness is a little unreal.
"Then I...I will go to Dali Temple to report the crime now?" Hua Lian was a little at a loss.
Jiang Rong nodded, "Yes."
……
Capital City, Shangshu Mansion, Zhou Family.
"It's a pity that a fire suddenly broke out yesterday, otherwise I would have almost succeeded." Zhou Hongyang told Shen Wenyuan about his deeds yesterday and said with a smile:
"Brother Shen's idea is a good one! Thank you very much, Brother Shen, for giving me some advice!"
Shen Wenyuan frowned and said, "I heard that the civilian girl was rescued by a kind person. She will definitely complain to Jiang Rong, and Jiang Rong will definitely come to trouble you."
"Her one-sided statement has no basis. Who can prove that I went to see her yesterday? Don't worry, my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. I have never had any trouble in these years. I just know one thing well and leave no evidence! Even if everyone You know I did it, but without evidence, you can't do anything to me!" Zhou Hongyang was proud.
Shen Wenyuan nodded in agreement, "Brother Zhou is brilliant."
The two were complimenting each other when suddenly officers and soldiers from Dali Temple surrounded the Zhou family.
"Master! What's wrong! Dali Temple wants to arrest you for questioning!" The steward hurriedly came in to report.
In June, a major case shocked both the government and the public.
The son of the Minister of Punishment pretended to be a bandit and massacred a family of thirty-five innocent people in Yangzhou.
unambiguous evidence.
With the support of King Duan, Dali Temple conducted a thorough investigation.
Zhou Hongyang is a weakling. Under the torture of Dali Temple, he revealed a lot about his father helping him clean up the mess...
The Duanwang Party took advantage of the situation to impeach the Minister of Punishment for shielding his son...
In late June, Dali Temple decided that Zhou Hongyang had disregarded human life, had no respect for king's laws, bullied men and dominated women, and planned to execute him.
In the same month, the emperor issued an edict to remove the minister of punishment from his position and strictly investigate his crimes. The Duanwang Party and the Princeling Party were fighting to the death for the vacant position of Minister of Punishment...
In the end, the emperor selected Shen Taifu to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.
This matter has come to an end.
……
The day Zhou Hongyang was beheaded.
Qiuniang went to the execution platform in person to watch the execution. The people applauded one after another, and countless people threw rotten leaves, rotten eggs, and eggs at him.
Seeing Zhou Hongyang's head fall to the ground with her own eyes, Qiuniang felt very happy and prepared to buy some banknotes to pay homage to her late father.
When he turned around, he saw Hua Lian standing among the crowd, watching the scene quietly.
"Hua Lian... Young Master!" Qiu Niang looked at him and saluted: "I haven't thanked you enough for saving me."
Hua Lian is now dressed in an ordinary men's gown.
Jiang Rong gave Yanyulou a large sum of money as an explanation.
From then on, there was no more Hua Lian in Yanyu Tower.
