Chapter 3 Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky

Chapter 3 A bolt from the blue

An Tai was shocked by the violent temper of his prospective in-laws and left angrily.

From then on, he never mentioned marrying his daughter to Shangguan Yuan again.

Mrs. Shangguan probably realized that she had gone too far, so she sent someone to apologize the next day with many gifts.

When An Tai was away, Mrs. Liu snatched everything away.

An Qianru looked down on her vulgar and greedy aunt and was too lazy to argue with her.

The longer she stays in Beijing, the deeper she misses her family in her previous life.

Moreover, her eyelids kept twitching, which made her uneasy.

So, she found her way to Anhou Mansion alone, wanting to see them from a distance.

Unexpectedly, no one saw it, but I saw a seal on the door.

How could this happen?

She asked around and learned a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.

About a month ago, when she was first reborn, everyone in the Anhou Mansion had been raided and executed, leaving no one behind. The corpses were left in Yizhuang and no one has taken them to the grave.

"Dad, brother."

She whimpered and ran wildly, falling countless times, and finally arrived at Yizhuang outside Xicheng.

The smell was overwhelming, and officers and soldiers with their mouths and noses covered were disposing of the corpses.

The grief made her lose her mind for a moment, and she rushed in and opened the shroud regardless, wanting to see her father and brother for the last time.

Unexpectedly, he was captured on the spot by officers and soldiers, and was imprisoned as a remnant of the Anhou Mansion.

Her name was An Qianru in her previous life and now, but the confused presiding judge did not allow her to defend herself and sentenced her to death based only on the name on the Anhou Mansion genealogy.

And it's a decisive decision.

The little life that had just been reborn seemed to be gone.

An Qianru's mind went blank and she was at a loss. She could only cry helplessly on the execution ground.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, An Tai broke into the execution ground like a magic weapon descending from heaven and prevented the execution.

Not only did he push the executioner away, but he also angrily lifted the executioner's desk, pointed at his nose and spat at him.

The Anhou Mansion case had so many implications that the government had already gone crazy and killed them.

The common people are all in danger and hope that someone will step forward to deliver justice.

An Tai's life-threatening actions immediately won the recognition of the people.

For a moment, the crowd was excited, and they all shouted: "Let them go, let them go!"

The supervisor was so angry that he didn't care that An Tai was wearing official uniform, so he shouted at the officers and soldiers to take him down.

"I am the censor of the dynasty and have the power to supervise all officials. You are just a petty official. Why should you take me?"

"The imperial censor is only of the fifth rank, and I am one rank higher than you! You despised the superior officer and obstructed the execution. It is an unpardonable crime! Behead, behead, you will be beheaded by me too!"

The fourth-rank officials can kill the fifth-rank officials at will. An Tai was amused by the words of the prison officer and immediately taught him the law.

But the comatose official looked confident and showed no panic. He drew his sword and pointed it at An Tai, demanding his name.

After learning that his surname was An, he showed a victorious smile and said, "You are dead!"

An Tai was a well-known quarrel in the officialdom. When he heard what the cowardly official said, he killed him at the neck, forcing him to kill him on the spot.

"You damn thing, I think I'm nothing, so what if I kill you today?" After the faint official said this, he ordered his men to strip An Tai of his official uniform and punish him as a remnant of the An Hou Mansion.

Under the blue sky and white sun, under the emperor's feet, people's lives are being ignored. Doesn't this Daxuan Dynasty have no royal law?

An Qianru angrily cursed with An Tai, and finally attracted a high-ranking official, Yu Shi Dafu Hu Yong, before the sword fell.

The ignorant official refused to give Hu Yong face, so he suddenly removed King Luo, the chief judge of the Anhou Mansion case, to intimidate the entire audience.

Then, he presented the genealogy of Anhou Mansion and pointed to An Qianru's name on it, saying righteously that his execution was reasonable.

Obviously he wanted to impose a crime, but the dignified imperial censor hesitated and even advised An Tai to retreat and give up saving An Qianru.

An Tai was so angry that he even scolded Hu Yong. He was as unyielding as a general fighting on the battlefield.

An Qianru was both admired and moved, and she recognized this new father more and more in her heart.

However, she is not innocent, but An Tai is.

She didn't want to implicate him, so she stood up and drew a clear line with An Tai, and composed an impromptu poem, despising the corrupt officialdom of the Daxuan Dynasty and the people's lack of livelihood.

Hu Yong blushed and walked away.

Seeing that no one was standing up for them, the ignorant officials were satisfied and ordered people to kill the father and daughter.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yong went back again and stopped the execution again.

"I vaguely remember that the daughter of the guilty prince was once assigned to Prime Minister Yi Zhonglun as his wife. If she is really An Qianru, we will find out if we invite Prime Minister Yi here and ask."

"For such a trivial matter, I would not dare to do anything to the Prime Minister."

"The guilty prince is suspected of treason. This case concerns the country, the country, and the country. It is an unusual human life case. You must be cautious. You don't need to send someone. I have already sent someone to invite it for you."

Although the faint official belonged to King Luo, the prime minister was the head of the hundred officials and held the power of life and death. He could not afford to offend him, so he had to wait unwillingly.

However, no one came, only a personal letter came.

Letter: The abandoned wife An died of illness a month ago and was buried in Xiaogushan in the south of the city.

The identity has been clearly explained, but the faint official is not willing to let her go. He still grabs An Qianru and rushes into Yizhuang to look at the body.

In order to escape the crime, An Qianru had to make up a story, saying that she heard people say some vague words on the street and thought that her family was in trouble, so she ran to Yizhuang crying and misunderstood.

Hu Yong explained from the side, saying that his family had only been in Beijing for a few days, and it was impossible to be involved in the case of Anhou Mansion.

The ignorant official reluctantly acquitted them.

After returning home, although An Tai did not punish her, she was not allowed to go out alone again.

However, while she was trapped in the house, her heart had already flown out of the high wall.

What she saw in Yizhuang and what she experienced in the execution ground filled her with anger.

Anhou, her father in the previous life, followed the late emperor in his military campaign when he was young, and gained the position of marquis with his outstanding military exploits.

After the death of the late emperor, he served as an auxiliary minister to assist the present emperor, and he has always been conscientious and conscientious.

The ancestral hall of Anhou Mansion is filled with plaques given by two generations of monarchs, praising him for his loyalty to the country and his dedication to the country.

Let me ask, how could such a loyal and patriotic person rebel?

If it's not someone who framed me, I'm trying to take the opportunity to kill the heroes and elders.

There are countless such unjust cases in history.

The monarch is unkind and treats his subjects and the people as stupid dogs.

She wanted to seek justice for the Anhou Mansion and all the innocent people who died in vain, but she was powerless and could only cry in vain and be heartbroken.

In less than half a month, the person had lost a lot of weight, and his spirit was becoming more and more trance-like.

When she was dressing up in the mirror, she even realized that her current appearance was almost the same as her previous life.

In this way, the guilt in my heart deepened even more.

Occasionally, I caught wind and cold and fell ill.

In a daze, she vaguely saw her younger brother Jing Heng approaching with medicine, and hurriedly reached out to catch him. Unexpectedly, when she got closer and took a closer look, she saw that it was Shangguan Yuan.

She screamed in shock and broke out in cold sweat.

"That's so rude! Get out!"
