The winter of the sixth year of Jiankang was a bit colder than before. Since the beginning of winter, there have been several heavy snowfalls in Beijing.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed again.
Amidst the snowflakes flying all over the sky, the door of the Qingguo Duke's Mansion opened. The Luo family, hunched over, were pushed out by people from the Special Investigation Department and taken to the prison of the Criminal Department.
The collapse of the Yipin Guogong Mansion attracted people in the capital to watch and discuss the matter.
Duke Qing's moral integrity was not upright, and he lacked control over the Luo family, so that the Luo family frequently committed evil acts outside.
As soon as the Duke of Qing's government fell, the Shenluo family's records were piled high on the imperial desk.
The second master of the Luo family colluded with officials, took over all lawsuits, and used his power to dominate others.
The second wife of the Luo family was greedy by nature, secretly borrowed loan money, and amassed money crazily, forcing countless families to be ruined.
The third master of the Luo family was a lustful man who took possession of women and forced them into prostitution.
Other members of the Luo family also have their own evil deeds.
In addition, for harboring Chu Qinghuan, the rebellious granddaughter of the regent, and providing money and supplies to the Yan Party, the Luo family was eventually sentenced to beheaded in a vegetable market.
In the Baihua Building, Du Danyan filled Ye Mo with a glass of hot wine with a smile: "Commander Ye, I heard that people from the Qingguo Palace will be beheaded tomorrow?"
Ye Mo glanced at her: "What do you want to say?"
Du Danyan: "I want to ask you for a favor."
Ye Mo raised his head and drank the glass: "What's the deal?"
Du Danyan: "I have a sister, the one who rescued Lan Zhi with me last time. She is old with the Luo family and wants to give the Luo family a ride."
Ye Mo turned to look at her: "The Qingguo Palace is involved in the Yan Party case, and even the dignitaries can't avoid it. Are you sure you want to move forward?"
Du Danyan looked hesitant, but when he thought of Luo Qiyun's troubles over the years, he smiled brightly again and served Ye Moman wine: "Please also ask Commander Ye to make it happen."
Ye Mo stared at her for a while: "Let someone find Zhao Jing."
Seeing that Ye Mo agreed, Du Danyan looked happy and hurriedly prepared dishes and filled the wine with hospitality.
In the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, Duke Qing Guo looked at the falling snow outside the window in trance, feeling that everything he was experiencing now seemed like a ridiculous dream.
The Luo family members were imprisoned in the two innermost cells according to men and women. The imperial edict was read out yesterday. Knowing that they would be beheaded tomorrow, everyone was sobbing in despair.
"Da, da, da~"
The jailer came with people.
The Luo family looked over expectantly, hoping that someone could rescue them. It was obvious that the person who came was just a servant dressed in rough clothes, and the light in their eyes dimmed again.
"You don't have much time, hurry up."
The jailer reminded him, then turned and left.
Luo Qiyun stood in front of the cell where the men of the Luo family were imprisoned, looking at the men of the Luo family huddled in the corner, desperate and embarrassed.
The same goes for the women next door.
Seeing the appearance of the person who had hurt her, her mother, and her brother, Luo Qiyun felt happy in her heart.
"Which family are you from? Are you here to save us?"
Master Luo San, who was most afraid of death, ran to the cell door, grabbed the railing, and looked eagerly at Luo Qiyun standing outside.
Luo Qiyun said nothing and looked straight at Duke Qing, who was sitting with his back to him.
"Which family are you a servant of? What are you talking about?" Mr. Luo Er shouted anxiously.
Luo Qiyun still said nothing and only looked at Duke Qing.
Mr. Luo Er noticed it and hurriedly bumped Duke Qing with his elbow.
Qing Guogong frowned, but turned his head and looked over.
The woman standing outside the cell was in her twenties or thirties. She was plain-looking, but her dull face was inlaid with a pair of black and bright eyes.
Facing these eyes, Duke Qing once again felt a sense of familiarity in his heart: "Who are you?"
Luo Qiyun sneered and threw a jade pendant into the cell with a 'pop' sound.
It was a fine piece of mutton-fat white jade, shaped like a cloud.
It fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Seeing the jade pendant, Duke Qing's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Luo Qiyun in shock and shock, trembling his lips: "You are. You are"
Luo Qiyun did not answer, but looked at the window in the cell, watching the snowflakes outside floating into the cell.
“Do you know what it’s like to be soaked in a glacier in the dead of winter?”
"Bitterly cold."
Luo Qiyun looked at Duke Qing who looked surprised and happy: "I have a younger brother, but unfortunately his life was not good and he died at the age of ten."
"I still remember it was snowing heavily when he died."
"Someone was chasing us, so I hid my brother in the glacier for a whole night. After dawn, I thought I had escaped. But I didn't expect that when I got ashore, I found that my brother's body had already become cold and hard."
Duke Qing looked at Luo Qiyun, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Luo Qiyun raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said with a smile: "I also have a mother, whose life is not good either. She married an inhumane and lost her life in vain."
"The people I love the most are gone, how can I live an ignoble existence?"
"I thought and thought, and finally found a goal that supports my survival."
Luo Qiyun looked at Duke Qing with a bright smile: "My goal is to send all those who have done harm to hell."
Seeing the angry and unacceptable look on Duke Qing's face, Luo Qiyun smiled even more proudly: "I succeeded. In the past twelve years, I have wandered on the edge of life and death countless times. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and I have achieved what I want."
I wish."
Duke Qing held his chest and looked at Luo Qiyun with pain on his face: "Why?" The Luo family is your home too!
Luo Qiyun seemed to have heard some joke: "Why? You are still asking me why? Luo Changxin, you deserve to be played around by Wu Xinrui, you deserve to raise a son for someone else, and you deserve the Qingguo government building to collapse."
"Your life is a joke!"
"Pfft~"
Duke Qing couldn't bear it any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother!"
Mr. Luo Er supported Duke Qing and looked at Luo Qiyun. Through the conversation just now, he seemed to have guessed who the person in front of him was, and asked in surprise: "Are you Qiyun?"
Mr. Luo San heard this and immediately rushed over: "Qiyun? Are you Qiyun? Qiyun, please save us."
Luo Qiyun looked at Mr. Luo San indifferently: "Although Luo Changxin is not a long-term lover, before Wu Xinrui came into the house, he still acted like a father and a husband. Who brought Wu Xinrui into the house?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mr. Luo San stopped talking. He was the one who brought Wu Xinrui into the Duke of Qing's Mansion, and it was he who was the one who led Wu Xinrui to hook up with his eldest brother.
But he never expected that his eldest brother would be so obsessed with Wu Xinrui!
Luo Qiyun stopped looking at Duke Qing and looked at the snowflakes outside the window: "Both my mother and brother died in the cold winter. Tomorrow you will also be able to understand how they felt before they died."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.
"etc."
Mr. Luo Er suddenly stood up: "Qiyun, the government is sorry for you. It doesn't matter if we die, but your nephew is still young, he is less than one year old. Please save him and leave a trace of blood for the Luo family."
Luo Qiyun turned around indifferently and said sarcastically: "Your biological daughter married into Prince Rong's palace. You didn't find her, but you entrusted it to me?"
Hearing this, Mr. Luo Er's face stiffened.
After the Luo family was imprisoned, Qilan never visited them.
He knew that Prince Rong's palace must not allow it, but he was still a little disappointed.
Speaking of Prince Rong's Mansion, Luo Qiyun's eyes filled with sternness again, and she looked at Duke Qing: "The temptress doesn't know that I discovered her secret. As long as I deal with it carefully, the temptress will not find any reason or opportunity to kill me and my brother."
of."
"But you know, your good second brother, in order to let his daughter Luo Qilan marry into Prince Rong's palace in my place, handed the knife to the witch and Wu Xinrui."
"For such a heartless family, extermination is God's punishment for you."
When Duke Qing heard these words, he was angry and angry. He looked at Mr. Luo Er who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. His chest began to cramp again.
He is indeed a joke!
Not only did his concubine betray him, but his own brother also did so many things behind his back.
Duke Qing looked at Luo Qiyun guiltily and wanted to say something, but he could not open his mouth.
Luo Qiyun looked at the painful Duke Qing, sneered a few times, turned around and left.
"stop!"
Mr. Luo Er stopped him again and threatened: "If you don't rescue your nephew, I will reveal your identity. The entire Qingguo Palace will be executed, and you won't be able to escape."
Luo Qiyun was not frightened: "Luo Qiyun died twelve years ago. Now I am like this. Who will believe you if you tell me?" After saying that, he left without looking back.
When Master Luo saw it, he opened his mouth and shouted: "She is Luo"
"Hey~"
A stone flew into Mr. Luo Er's mouth, and within a moment, blood oozed from the corners of Mr. Luo Er's mouth.
"Ah, ah, ah~"
Mr. Luo Er covered his mouth and screamed for a long time, but he didn't say a complete word.
Mr. Luo San saw Mr. Luo Er bleeding from his mouth, and looked at Duke Qing in horror.
The eldest brother directly made the second brother mute!
Qing Guo Gong looked at his two younger brothers: "This is what the government owes her." He said with a self-deprecating smile, "Don't be afraid, my eldest brother will accompany you to the guillotine tomorrow."
In a secret prison not far away, Ye Mo and Zhao Jing silently watched Luo Qiyun leave, and watched Qing Guo Gong make a move to mute Mr. Luo Er.
"Tsk tsk~"
Ye Mo looked at Zhao Jing who had a sigh on his face: "You seem to be very touched?"
Zhao Jing nodded and said with emotion: "You can't offend a woman. Look, this woman got ruthless and destroyed a first-grade Duke's palace just like that."
"Boss, really, many times I find that this woman is more willing to spare herself than a man."
"Take the matter of the Duke of Qing's Palace for example. If it was Luo Qiyun's younger brother who survived back then, then it is very likely that the Duke of Qing's Palace would not collapse today."
Ye Mo: "What you're saying is nonsense, where in the world does it come from?"
But there is a saying that is right, women are sometimes more willing to take things for granted than men.
At the beginning of the founding of the Chu Kingdom, Queen Wende took the lead. The Chu clan and Queen Wende had been fighting for decades, but they were always suppressed and unable to take the lead.
Zhao Jing changed the subject: "Boss, is the person who passed us the evidence of Chu Qinghuan's crime really Luo Qiyun?"
Ye Mo: "Do you think she can freely enter and leave the Special Investigation Department with her skills?"
Zhao Jing shook his head: "Then who is the person who delivered the news to us?"
Ye Mo didn't answer, but just said: "Go down and tell me that today's visit to the prison is not allowed to spread."
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily.
Even though the weather was cold, early in the morning, the Nanmen Food Market was still packed with people on three floors inside and three outside.
Today is the day of beheading of the Luo family, and everyone wants to come and witness the demise of a Duke's mansion.
Outside the crowded crowd, a carriage was parked.
In the carriage, Luo Qilan was lowering her head to wipe her tears.
Chu Xuan, the crown prince of Rongjun County, looked at his wife who was crying softly with her back to him. He knew that she was complaining about the prince's failure to save her, so he couldn't help but explain:
"Chu Qinghuan is hiding in the back house of the Qingguo Duke's Mansion and causing trouble. The Qingguo Duke's Mansion has provided property to the Yan Party for more than ten years. It is simply a den for the Yan Party. It is really not easy for the Prince to come forward and say anything. I hope you can understand.
.”
Luo Qilan sobbed: "I know that the crimes committed by the Duke of Qing are unforgivable, but the main fault does not lie with my parents. How can I not save their lives?"
Chu Xuan looked calm: "The guilt of the father-in-law and mother-in-law is not light."
Hearing this, Luo Qilan looked at Chu Xuan with red eyes: "Are you still worried about the fact that I replaced Luo Qiyun and married you?"
"You are resentful towards my parents. You feel that Luo Qiyun's death is related to them. You still hold the grudge to this day, so you refuse to save them."
"If Luo Qiyun begs you today, you will probably contradict your grandparents but also speak for the Duke of Qing, right?"
Mentioning Luo Qiyun, Chu Xuan instantly darkened his face: "Yun'er has been gone for more than ten years. Is it interesting for you to always mention a person who has passed away?"
After saying that, he opened the curtain and strode out of the carriage.
Luo Qilan's maid saw her and couldn't help but persuade her: "Mrs. Crown Prince, please don't get angry with the Crown Prince at this time. The Duke's Palace is gone. From now on, in the palace, the only one you can rely on is the Crown Prince."
Luo Qilan laughed sarcastically: "I have been married to Chu Xuan for more than ten years. How has he ever let me rely on him? In his heart, I am worse than a dead person."
The maid stopped talking. The prince liked the eldest girl. After the eldest girl's accident, it was the girl who had to take her sister's place and marry into the palace.
For so many years, the relationship between the prince and the girl has been cold. The girl still has no heirs, and now that the Duke's palace is gone, how will the girl live in the palace in the future?
The noise outside the carriage suddenly became louder, and Luo Qilan no longer cared about being angry with Chu Xuan, so she opened the curtain and looked towards the execution ground.
The Luo family members have been escorted over.
Looking at her father who was being escorted to his knees in thin clothes, the tears in Luo Qilan's eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
At this moment, among the crowded crowd, Luo Qiyun was also looking at the Luo family members who were about to be beheaded.
Duke Qing allowed the executioner to pin him on the beheading platform. After being escorted to the market entrance, he kept staring at Luo Qiyun in the crowd. It was not until the executioner raised the machete that he silently closed his eyes.
"The time is up, kill!"
Luo Qiyun originally thought she could watch the machete fall with her own eyes, but before the machete fell, she still closed her eyes.
When I closed my eyes, tears fell down.
Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Luo Qiyun did not look at the scene, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned around and left against the flow of people.
When she squeezed out of the crowd, she saw Chu Xuan standing outside the carriage not far away. Luo Qiyun was stunned for a moment. When she saw Chu Xuan looking over, she immediately lowered her head and walked away quickly.
Chu Xuan's eyes have been following Luo Qiyun.
"Prince."
The follower's voice made Chu Xuan look away.
"What's wrong?"
"The Crown Prince's wife said she wanted to collect the bodies of the Luo family."
Chu Xuan said 'hmm', and when he turned around and walked towards the carriage, he couldn't help but look back.
The woman's eyes were similar to Yun'er's.
Yuner
Thinking of the girl dancing for him under the crabapple tree, Chu Xuan's heart ached so much.
On the second floor of the teahouse opposite Caishikou, Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Xuan, who was instructing people to collect the bodies of the Luo family: "Who is that person?"
The cigarette bag replied: "Chu Xuan, the crown prince of Rongjun."
Shi Fuxin looked surprised: "Chu Yao's eldest brother?!" She quickly looked at him a few more times. After looking at him, she made a comment, "Not as good-looking as Chu Yao."
Cigarette Bag lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
Shi Fuxin suddenly said "Hey": "Why would Chu Yao's eldest brother help the Luo family collect the corpses?"
Cigarette bag: "The eldest wife of Chu Xuan is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of Duke Qing. The person who originally married Chu Xuan should have been the legitimate eldest daughter of Duke Qing, but the legitimate son and daughter of Duke Qing are all dead."
This news surprised Shi Fuxin even more. Luo Qiyun and Chu Xuan were originally a couple?
After the death of her mother and brother, and the loss of her fiancé, it was right for Luo Qiyun to hate the Luo family.
