There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time, and Xuanyuan Yu, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, finally said, "Tell me about the causes and consequences!"
"Yes..." Song Heng truthfully told the emperor the cause and effect.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu snorted coldly and said: "Zhou Yu, a bastard like that, should have been expelled from the imperial city. He really has lost the face of a scholar."
If that bastard had been expelled from the imperial city early, such an incident would not have happened.
Xuanyuan Yu also felt a little guilty about this matter.
If this matter can be traced back to its origin, it lies in Lin Qingxue, that Northwest shellfish.
The affair between Zhou Yu and Song Ziyu was planned by her mother, Lin Qiuying, and it was she who brought up Song Ziyu in a bad way, and she entered the Song family only after he decreed a marriage.
If she couldn't get in, the Song family wouldn't have such troubles.
Therefore, he also has some responsibilities.
"You go back first!"
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Song Heng and said, "There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow."
I don’t want to go to court today, otherwise I won’t be able to go to court by this time and they will all be impeaching Song Heng.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Heng kowtowed and stood up.
He knew that the emperor was still on his side, but he was at fault after all. If those officials impeached him tomorrow, the emperor would still deal with him, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public.
Song Heng left the palace and rode to the camp.
Along the way, there were always people pointing fingers at him, and those people looked at him with eyes that no longer had any admiration or reverence.
The sun was shining brightly today, but Song Heng couldn't feel any warmth on his body.
At a tea stall, Mrs. Zhou Wang was cracking melon seeds and talking to the people surrounding her.
The two children sat next to her, peeling melon seeds and eating them cautiously.
"Why did Song Ziyu kill your husband?"
asked one of the women surrounding her.
Zhou Wang spit out the melon seed shell and said: "Why?
She is not afraid that my husband will reveal the scandal between her and my husband."
She originally wanted to wait at home for the government office to open, but the masked man said that this was not possible and that he wanted to create public opinion and let more people know how shameless and vicious Song Ziyu was.
How bad is that general? He relied on his power to cover up the murder for his daughter.
She just came out with her child, but the people in this imperial city are really nice. They even bought tea and melon seeds for her to talk about! "Didn't your husband collude with the evil slaves of the General's Mansion to set up Miss Song?"
"Bah, bah, bah..." Mrs. Zhou Wang spat out the melon seed shells on the man's face, "It's obviously Miss Song who was so shameless at such a young age that she fell in love with my husband and even seduced my husband.
After the affair between her and my husband was exposed, in order to protect her reputation, she bit back and falsely accused my husband of colluding with her maid and designing to frame her!"
"But that's what Mrs. Song said."
Mrs. Zhou Wang said: "Then Mrs. Song must be helping her daughter. In order to protect the family's reputation, those people from wealthy families cannot do anything dirty.
No, you are even trying to cover up the matter of killing someone!"
"Mrs. Song is a good person, and she should not accuse others unjustly."
Some people couldn't help but speak for Shen Wan.
"That's right, the people in the north all gave her longevity tablets!"
Zhou Wang's mouth dropped, and she shook her head and said: "Since she is a good person, how could she not know that her daughter killed someone?
Why didn't she say it?
Are you still helping to hide it together?"
"This..." Seeing that the two were speechless, Mrs. Zhou Wang continued: "Those people from wealthy families just like to pretend to be good people on the outside, but who knows how dirty they are on the inside.
Don't you all say that the general is a hero and the most upright?
It's not like he shielded his murderer's daughter and buried my husband's bones in a mass grave.
In the eyes of those wealthy people, the lives of poor people like us are as worthless as ants, that’s why they behave like this.”
These words were all taught to her by the masked man.
"General Song is really disappointing."
"Yes! This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing!"
"Maybe there were other people who died at the hands of the Song family, and were covered up by General Song in the same way."
"How come the lives of us ordinary people are so cheap?"
