In the cell where Chang Sui'an was located, the cell door was wide open at the moment, and several jailors were surrounding the unconscious young man. The sharp scissors in the hand of one of them shone coldly.
When A Dian saw this, his face was shocked. He ran into the cell, picked up a jailer with one hand, threw him away, stopped him in front of Chang Sui'an, and said angrily: "You are still bullying him!"
The two jailers quickly explained: "This is absolutely not the case!"
"I just want to help Mr. Changlang change his clothes and heal his injuries!"
It's just that there were too many wounds on the young man's body, and he bled too much. The prison clothes were stuck to the blood scabs on the wound skin in many places, making it impossible to take them off. They had to try to cut them off bit by bit with scissors.
Chang Suining walked over and knelt down next to Chang Sui'an. He called out "brother" but got no response, so he used his hand to check his breathing and pulse, and finally felt relieved.
"...Chang Langjun, are you okay?" Looking at the young man's appearance, Wei Shuyi couldn't even ask this question.
"There is still breath left." There was no anger in the girl's tone, but her voice was extremely cold.
Wei Shuyi looked at the two jailers.
The young man was born with the color of spring breeze and dawn, and there was always a smile on his face. However, at this time, all the gentle and easy-going feelings were gone, and his eyebrows were even more threatening.
The two jailers immediately knelt down.
Wei Shuyi: "I want to ask you, who allowed you to use such severe punishment on Chang Langjun? Is the confession written as a result of torture?"
The incident at the Confucius Temple has been reported to Dali Temple. The Changsun family personally escorted the accomplice witness. Chang's mother and son were also escorted for trial. Chang Sui'an was released from prison. The saint personally gave instructions...
The situation turned around so suddenly and completely that the two jailers dared not take any chances at this moment. They could only beg for mercy in panic and tell the truth.
"The little people are just following Han Shaoqing's orders!"
"That's right... Han Shaoqing took advantage of the fact that the husband of the Chang family was unconscious and ordered us to draw the confession with the finger of the husband of the Chang family!"
Chang Sui Ning did not listen any more. She was not curious about who the crime would fall on in the end. No matter who it was, it was just a name, an official position, and a knife.
How to use this knife and how to discard it are all established matters.
A Dian had carried Chang Sui'an as carefully as possible and walked out of the cell.
Wei Shuyi asked people to temporarily take the two jailers down to be imprisoned, and followed Chang Suining: "Chang Langjun's injury..."
Chang Suining: "Let's go back to the house to take care of it."
This place is humid and full of insects and rats. If you tear open your bloody clothes to treat an injury, it will only expose the wound again.
"That's fine." Wei Shuyi followed her out of the dungeon. He wanted to say that he would take care of everything, but he felt it was meaningless. This was his duty, and he and she both knew what was going on inside.
There is no need to say more in such a situation.
Chang Suining said: "Shilang Wei still has official duties, so there is no need to send him off."
"There is no suspense about how to handle official duties." Wei Shuyi said: "Besides, it is also my official duty to see Mr. Chang Lang leave Dali Temple safely."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and asked, "Ms. Chang, can you follow me and leave from here?"
Chang Suining looked in the direction he indicated and shook his head: "No."
Wei Shuyi looked at her.
The girl's tone was not serious, but there was no room for change: "Mr. Wei, when my brother was taken to Dali Temple, he was on the way to Xuance Mansion. At that time, in full view of everyone, he was taken as a murderer.
Here - therefore, now I also want to take my brother and leave from the main gate of Dali Temple in a dignified manner."
This justice should be completely and completely returned to her brother.
Of course she knew what kind of sensation and discussion it would cause when Brother appeared in front of everyone like this, but she needed these discussions. She needed the guilt and compensation that the emperor had to make to the world in exchange for more of her and Brother.
The breathing room needed next.
"Due to our position, if Minister Wei feels embarrassed -" She was considerate and suggested: "You can also try to stop him."
Wei Shuyi laughed helplessly: "It's such a simple thing to ask for...Wei doesn't have to give it a try."
"Whether it's the side door or the front door -" the young waiter raised his hand and changed the direction: "Wei will send Madam Chang to you."
A jailer hid behind a corner not far away and quietly watched the group of people go away. He looked at the heavy food box in his hand and felt a little worried for no reason.
Chang Langjun is leaving now. Who will drink the big bowl of porridge he has worked so hard to cook?
As soon as this idea took shape in his mind, the jailer raised his hand and slapped his forehead.
What are you thinking? It’s a good thing that Changlang-kun can leave here!
After Mr. Changlang returns home, there will be plenty of good porridge and dishes waiting for him!
Such a persevering and good husband will definitely achieve great things in the future. Why should he stay here and drink his poor porridge?
The jailer happily wiped away his tears, grinned, and left quickly with the food box in hand.
In Qianya, because Feng Min confessed to his grandmother Xie Shi again, people from Dali Temple went to Feng's house to pick up someone. The case has not yet been completed, so the number of people gathered around him increased instead of decreasing.
At this time, Chang Sui'an's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention.
After paying attention, there was a sensation and shock.
The young man who was carried out could hardly see his original appearance. With his eyes closed, it was difficult to tell whether he was alive or dead. It would be an exaggeration to say that it was shocking.
Since he could still be carried out like this, he was probably still alive. But if he was like this, if he was delayed for a day or two, he might not have a chance to come out alive.
A good young man was imprisoned for no reason, all because he was framed and framed by the Ming family...
The only good thing among misfortunes is that this young man still has a sister who "dare to do the unthinkable" and never gives up on clearing his grievances.
On the other hand, even though that girl had not been in prison, she still had a narrow escape from death.
Looking at such a pair of brothers and sisters, any normal person would feel pity and sympathy at this moment.
It is better to live in misery and know it yourself - misfortune is miserable, and if you don't make good use of it, then misery will be in vain.
No one knew that the admirable and stubborn girl who had just done something that caused a sensation was deliberately committing suicide. At this moment, everyone's sympathy was very real.
Including Song Xian and others who came with them.
Taifu Chu and Qiao Jijiu were ordered to clean up the mess of the unfinished ceremony of worshiping Confucius in the Confucius Temple, but many supervisors and scholars came to Dali Temple and spontaneously followed up to supervise the trial of the case.
Qiao Yubai's eyes were already red. He had never seen Chang Sui'an in such a miserable state. He clenched his fists and turned his head away unbearably.
"woo woo woo woo……!"
A loud cry suddenly sounded.
It's not Qiao Yubai, but Cui Lang.
"Brother Sui'an, why are you like this!"
"Brother Sui'an, please answer me!"
Cui Lang staggered forward, reaching out to touch Chang Sui'an, but he trembled as if he didn't know where to start. He became even more sad, angry and heartbroken——
"I miss you, the young hero who is a disciple of your general. At this moment, he should be wearing armor with the Xuance Army to protect the territory, but now..."
He seemed unable to bear speaking any more, and the rest of his words were lost in tears.
Hu Huan and Xi Zhiyuan stepped forward to support him on the left and right.
Chang Sui Ning looked over silently, with a trace of praise that could be taught in his eyes.
Although Cui Lang's cry was a little exaggerated, it was quite inflammatory and contagious under such circumstances, and many soft-hearted people wiped away their tears.
There is also a part of me that is so ashamed that it has been echoed by others before, so much so that it almost slaps itself in the face.
After being sold so miserably, Chang Sui'an received overwhelming sympathy and guilt. If he could convert it into cash, he would definitely become richer than the rest of the country.
The chamberlain who came with the holy order had mixed emotions. When he saw Chang Sui'an being carried into the carriage, he whispered: "How can Minister Wei let people go out through the front door?"
"I won't allow it, but Mrs. Chang said that it's okay to beat her out." Wei Shuyi asked the servant: "How would I choose if I were my father-in-law?"
Waiter: "..."
Well...it's better to do less than to do more.
The carriage drove away from everyone's sight and when it passed the street across from Dali Temple, it stopped temporarily due to the heavy flow of people in front of it.
Chang Suining opened the car curtain and saw a group of Dali temple officials escorting a person amidst the noise, it was Jun Jie.
She must have resisted, her hair was hanging and messy, her lips were pursed tightly, and she was trying not to show any abnormality in the face of the crowd's comments.
As she passed the carriage, she seemed to notice something. She turned around and saw the girl's calm and indifferent face.
Xie's face, which was still sullen at first, suddenly changed, his eyes were like daggers, full of hatred and unwillingness.
She seemed to want to say something, but the car curtain had already fallen before her eyes.
"Walk!"
The official did not give her any time to stay, and immediately escorted her to where she should go to bear the responsibility of the crime that she was destined to be unable to escape.
…
Wang and Qiao Yumian, who were waiting in the Chang Mansion, were waiting impatiently when they finally heard a servant coming to report that the husband was back.
But before Chang Sui'an could be seen, Cui Lang's cry first reached his ears.
Cui Lang came back on horseback and cried all the way.
This cry frightened Qiao Yumian. Could it be that Brother Sui'an...?!
Her heart trembled, and she quickly walked forward without caring much.
When Cui Lang, who paid the most attention to her, saw this, he stopped crying and hurried forward to help the little girl who almost tripped: "Be careful, Miss Qiao!"
"Cui Liulang?" Qiao Yumian asked with red eyes, panicked: "Brother Sui'an, he..."
After crying for a long time, Cui Lang's voice sounded a little hoarse: "Brother Sui'an is unconscious now. He must be diagnosed and treated by a medical officer as soon as possible."
Qiao Yumian felt slightly relieved when she heard this. She thought just now...
When she came to her senses, she realized that she had been holding Cui Lang's hand that had just supported her.
Qiao Yumian hurriedly let go, and in order to relieve the strange emotion, she said randomly: "...Why is Cui Liulang's hand so cold?"
Cui Lang coughed lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that Brother Qiao feels cold, so I lent him my cloak."
"Brother, didn't you bring your cloak?" The maid had already come forward. Qiao Yumian asked in confusion while following the others.
Cui Lang: "Brother Qiao's cloak has been given to your father as a sacrifice to Lord Jiu."
Qiao Yumian: "What about daddy's?"
"Your Majesty's is for Mr. Chu."
"...What about Mrs. Chu's?"
"Give it to Master!"
Qiao Yumian: "...??"
So, are you beating the drum to spread the flowers?
However, Cui Liulang is quite nice.
I froze all the way for Ningning, and cried all the way for Sui'an.
Chang Sui'an was placed back in the residential hospital. In order not to disturb the medical officer's treatment, everyone waited outside or in the corridor.
The whole place was busy because of Chang Sui'an's affairs. The servants were coming in and out, not paying much attention to the hospitality. Qiao Yumian left his maid alone and poured Cui Lang a cup of hot tea to warm his body and soothe his throat.
Cui Lang took it and drank it in small sips, like drinking honey.
In the inner room, the two medical officers continued to work, and the servants of the Chang family were working beside them. They continued until dark before finally stripping off all the bloody clothes on Chang Sui'an and cleaning the wounds all over his body.
After wiping down the inside and outside and applying medicine, the person was finally able to see some, but there was still no sign of waking up.
The palace sent many tonics and supplements, which were enough to fill two carriages, and Yu Zeng was ordered to come in person with his servants. It can be said that they did not take it lightly.
Yu Zeng and the Qiao family stayed by Chang Sui'an's bedside for a long time. Although they were still recovering from the disaster, everyone felt uncomfortable seeing Chang Sui'an like this.
"Where is Sui Ning?" Before Yu Zeng saw Chang Sui Ning, he asked, "How is her injury?"
"The injury on her arm is not serious..." Wang sighed and said, "After the medicine was applied, I watched her finish a bowl of hot porridge and persuaded her to go back and rest."
"Ning Ning has been working the hardest these days, supporting the plan alone, and getting injured..." Qiao Yumian had just cried quietly, her eyes were still red and swollen, and whispered: "Now let her rest in peace, Yu
Please don’t blame her."
Everyone knows Yu Zeng's temper.
After a while, Yu Zengcai whispered in a low voice with unclear emotions: "...She did something that I dare not even think about. How can I blame her?"
…
Chang Sui Ning did not rest.
She wrote a letter in her study and had it sent to Shen Sanmao in Zhuangzi outside the city.
My brother is back and we have to prepare the final finishing touches.
After the letter was sent, Chang Suining asked someone to call Steward Bai to speak.
"Is the girl planning to leave Beijing?"
Manager Bai was a little surprised. Leaving Beijing alone was not enough to surprise him, but the girl asked him to count the properties that could be taken away from the house and the properties that could be sold. This was to...
"Yes, retreating bravely from the rapids is called knowing the opportunity, so we must do this quickly." Chang Sui Ning said: "Although my brother has cleared his name this time, the saint will treat the Chang family well out of compensation, but this kindness is only superficial. It was just for a moment. But I incited public anger, coerced the saint to deal with the Ming family prince, violated the interests of the emperor, and got involved in the power dispute in the court. This is the truth."
She didn't want to bet on how long Mingfu would care about the world's eyes. The emperor's heart was changeable and the situation was unpredictable. Getting out as soon as possible was the best strategy. When the crisis came one day, it would be too late to resist.
And with this precedent, the emperor would definitely not give them a second chance to resist.
This was the retreat she had already thought of when she was determined to fight back.
Meeting the girl's particularly sober and alert eyes, after a moment, Manager Bai responded seriously: "Okay, everything will be as arranged by the girl."
Regardless of the general's explanation before leaving the capital, it should be noted that the person who rescued Lang Jun this time was a girl. Based on this alone, he could not and would not question the girl's decision.
…
Early the next morning, guests came to the Chang family.
With the emperor taking the initiative, there were bound to be a lot of people visiting today, but the first one to come was the weakest Crown Prince Rong.
