Chapter 42 Public anger
Liu Lanxin felt that those people were already unlocking her prison door. She was a little panicked, but she still had to pretend to be asleep to make the other party relax their guard.
Suddenly, a man in black fell down, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. The men in black realized that they had been trapped.
Xiao Han showed up behind the man in black with many guards, "Put down your weapons, we will consider spareing your lives."
With such a loud voice, it would be a bit fake if Liu Lanxin didn't wake up. She slowly stood up and saw many men in black in front of her cell. She shouted, "Ah, help me," and then shrank hard into the corner.
Those men in black were all dead soldiers trained by Jian'an Marquis' Mansion. Even if they committed suicide, they would never be able to put down their weapons. They rushed towards Xiao Han with swords, wanting to fight for their lives.
Xiao Han brought a lot more people than these men in black. Even if the men in black were of high martial arts, they would soon be defeated. Gradually, there was only one person left.
The man in black knew that he could no longer leave alive. Before taking the poison hidden between his teeth, he quickly took out the dart from his waist and threw the dart at Liu Lanxin.
Xiao Han didn't expect that the man would do this. When he realized that he had no time to save Liu Lanxin.
Although the dart flew straight towards Liu Lanxin, she could avoid this dart. If she did this, she would expose her martial arts skills. She did not hide. She believed that those who protect her would definitely protect her.
At this time, a stone flew in from the window on the wall of the cell, and accurately collided with the dart, and the dart fell to the ground.
Liu Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief. Her face turned pale. She was really scared. Fortunately, she won the bet.
Xiao Han looked at the window, but he saw nothing. He knew it was too late to send people out to find them. It seemed that in addition to them and the King of Chu, there was also a third force who had been paying attention to this matter.
Xiao Han sent several guards to guard Liu Lanxin's cell and returned to the East Palace to report to Chu Heng. His Royal Highness was really a god's prediction, and he really did something today.
Chu Heng had been waiting in the study for Xiao Han to come back. The door of the study was pushed open, and Xiao Han walked in, "Your Highness".
"How is it, are you okay?"
"Your Highness is wise, Xiao Han admires it, but..." Xiao Han paused for a moment and reported Chu Heng about someone secretly protecting Liu Lanxin. "I found that someone secretly protecting Liu Lanxin. If that person hadn't taken action today, Liu Lanxin would have been dead..."
Chu Heng had thought before that Liu Lanxin's identity was not that simple. How could she, an ordinary citizen, be chosen to dance at her father's birthday party and dare to assassinate Chu Xun?
"I understand, you go down."
After Yu Chen saved Liu Lanxin, he knew that he had been exposed, so it would be better to be careful during this period. He sneaked into Tingyuxuan and told Yun Wange about this.
"Master, Yu Chen took action to save Lan Xin. Maybe he has been discovered by the prince's people. Please punish him."
"It's okay, this time the matter is almost over, you don't have to protect Lan Xin anymore."
Yu Chen had no choice but to protect Lan Xin. Yun Wange could guess that this time, the Jian'an Marquis Mansion was determined to make Lan Xin die, so Chu Heng's people may not be able to protect Lan Xin. It is no wonder that Yu Chen is in this matter.
The assassination of Lan Xin in the Marquis of Jian'an failed again this time. Yun Wange guessed that the other party had no ability to attack Lan Xin anymore, so let the prince's men do the rest.
Marquis Jian'an waited for a whole night but never saw his dead soldiers come back. In this plan, all he sent were elites he secretly trained. This plan failed and he suffered a great loss.
Chu Xun received news of the failure of the plan sent by the Marquis of Jian'an early in the morning. The dead soldiers trained by the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion suffered a lot of losses due to this failure. For the sake of the present plan, he could only let the Dali Temple Minister drag him first and then find an opportunity.
Chu Xun thought it was very simple, but things changed quickly. When the two men came to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to officials, they alarmed the people in the city. So many days have passed, but there is no result yet, and the people are waiting anxiously.
At this moment, there was no idea who spread the news among the people that "the person who reported the officials was killed and He Wei was about to be released", which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people. Everyone began to gather in Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple, demanding that the people be fair.
Chu Xun sent all the officers and soldiers from the patrol battalion and the government, but they could not suppress them. Instead, they accidentally injured the people. This matter soon spread to the emperor.
Chu Heng, Chu Xun, Zhao Shangshu, and Cai Dali Temple Minister were all called to the imperial study room. The emperor was furious, "Hasn't the Ministry of Justice tried this matter? I ordered you to give an explanation to the people of Southern Chu in the shortest time."
"Father, there are still many doubts about this matter, and it may be difficult to close the case in a short period of time..."
Chu Xun wanted to buy some more time. He had already lost so much to save He Wei. If He Wei was not rescued in the end, wouldn’t everything he did before be futile?
The emperor glanced at Chu Xun deeply. He asked Chu Xun to participate in the trial process to test whether Chu Xun could take into account the overall situation. It seemed that he had disappointed himself.
"Father, son minister has found General He's deputy general Tian Ying. He has admitted that He Wei did lead his subordinates to massacre innocent people in the border villages."
Chu Heng's words made Chu Xun unable to defend himself. He did not expect that Chu Heng would leave such a move waiting for him. It seemed that the silence of the previous review and the dissatisfaction of the people in the capital were all intentional by Chu Heng, in order to alarm his father and give him a fatal blow.
He still lost...
"Since that's the case, let Tian Ying write his confession, Dali Temple quickly close the case and give the people an explanation."
As soon as the emperor opened his golden mouth, there was no room for maneuver. He Wei and the He family were all finished.
Chu Heng, who had left the imperial study room, could not have thought that things would be so coincidental. The moment before the emperor summoned him into the palace, Yu Ran reported that Tian Ying was willing to report He Wei, and he was not in a hurry to tell the matter when the emperor urged him. He was waiting, waiting for Chu Xun to speak, and the moment when the emperor was disappointed with Chu Xun's actions.
"The fourth brother is very skillful, and the eighth brother admires him." Chu Xun lost completely this time. He Wei couldn't save him and disappointed his father. He blamed all this on Chu Heng. He would sooner or later defeat Chu Heng.
Chu Heng knew that Chu Xun was full of resentment towards him now, but was he the one who caused all this? He did plot against Chu Xun, but more of it was Chu Xun who did something wrong. He forgot to think about the people and only wanted to protect the military power in He Wei. Now, no one else can blame him for this result.
Shangshu Zhao and the Seminary of Cai Dali sent people to paste He Wei's trial results to various places in the capital. The people saw that the bad guys were punished as they deserved, and thanked the emperor for being a wise monarch.
