Chapter 2942 Mutation, Another Death [3]

Zuo Shili and the others were riding on horseback, while Wei Xiao was walking all the way to the imperial city wearing the shackles of heavy punishment, so Zuo Shili quickly caught up with Wei Xiao and the others.

When Wei Chang saw this, he didn't dare to shout out to Zuo Shili. He hurriedly used the cover of the crowd to quietly stop the carriage and wanted to get it away... As long as the carriage was taken away and the clothes were gone, Mrs. Chu's plan would be over. It can’t be done!

But there were too many people watching the excitement on the street. Zuo Shili's horse in front was suddenly frightened. After neighing, it turned around and ran backwards. Bang, it hit the carriage hard.

Bang bang bang!

There was a sound, including the sound of a carriage overturning, the sound of boxes and cages falling, and the sound of people being thrown to the ground.

"Shili!" Mr. Feng hurriedly ordered the prison guards of the Ministry of Punishment: "Quickly save Mr. Xiaozuo!"

Then he yelled at the people around him: "Spread out, the horses are frightened. Anyone who doesn't want to be trampled to death should spread out!"

After hearing this, Commander Yuan quickly called to his son: "Boss, go and stop the horses pulling the cart!"

He ran towards Zuo Shili's horse. After catching up with it, he spent a lot of effort and finally restrained the horse.

"Xiao Zuo, how are you, Xiao Zuo? The official of the Ministry of Justice is injured, please call the doctor quickly!" Mr. Feng was the first to rush over and hug Zuo Shili. He roughly checked his body and saw that it was just a flesh injury and no muscle movement. Behind the bones, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around again and ordered: "Prison guards from the Criminal Department, quickly pack up the fallen things. What kind of mess does it look like?!"

When he said this, the people around him came back to their senses.

Mr. Qu and others looked at the scattered women's clothes and asked: "Why are there women's clothes with the word Chu on them? What on earth is going on?!"

Zuo Shili was not seriously injured and could still speak. When he heard this, he looked at Mr. Feng and said guiltily: "My lord, this is an incompetent official. Even the escort of evidence went wrong. I have failed you and Mr. Chu." People’s trust... you can punish me with three years’ salary!”

His uncle said that the family was rich, and if he failed in an errand, he would admit his mistake and ask for a fine, as long as he was not dismissed.

Mr. Feng looked at Zuo Shili and felt very sorry for this young man, but he had to fight for the maximum benefits and protection for the female members of the Chu family, so he could only sacrifice Zuo Shili.

However, if the Zuo family was wiped out in the future, he would protect Zuo Shili and not let him suffer this time in vain.

"Chu, Mrs. Chu...could these be the clothes of the Chu family's female relatives!" The old ministers kneeling on the roadside were shocked, and soon pointed at the clothes and cried: "What are you doing? What are you going to do? ? Do you want to bully people like this to force the generals of the Chu Dynasty to rebel against David?!"

Dai Lao, the former Minister of War, rushed over, grabbed Zuo Shili by the skirt of his clothes, slapped him twice, and cursed: "Shameless person, but you took the clothes of the female members of the Chu family?!"

"I, I, I didn't... Mrs. Chu asked me to transport the clothes to the palace. She, she even praised me for being upright and a good young man~"

Dai Lao: "Ah, you have such a splayed eyebrow. You look like a sycophant at first glance, but you are still upright. You are so upright that you took away the clothes of the female members of the Chu family. You are so shameless!"

"I didn't, everything I said is true... Sir, save me!" Zuo Shili grabbed Mr. Feng's hand and asked for help.

Mr. Feng said: "Don't be nervous. Mr. Dai was the minister of the previous dynasty and is a reasonable person. If you tell me the whole story, I will be able to resolve the misunderstanding."

"Ah? Yes, do you want to say it in public?" Zuo Shili was very embarrassed. If he said it in public, it would embarrass the female members of the Chu family and possibly offend Wei Chang.

"What, you did something outrageous, so you don't dare to say it in public?!" The person who spoke was Ma Qianhu from the Military and Horse Department of the former five cities. He was big and his fist was as big as a sea bowl.

Zuo Shili looked at his raised fist and was so frightened that he quickly told the whole story.

"Old Mrs. Chu said that for the purpose of investigating the case, she could give her belts and clothes, but she could only give them to the Queen, who would send a nun from the palace to check. So I took the clothes and entered the palace. How did I know that something had happened? The thing... I'm really just helping the women of the Chu family, I'm innocent!" Zuo Shili cried so hard that he couldn't breathe. He felt that the Punishment Department was indeed a terrible yamen. If he had known he would not come to the Punishment Department. Now that I have the qualifications, I will stay at home for two more years, waiting for the vacancies in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel.

When Wu Chengguan, the former Ministry of Rites, heard this, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He knelt on the ground and cried: "A eunuch led the Royal Guards to the villa to investigate the case, and even reached out to the female members of the Chu family... This eunuch What do you want to do? Do you want to destroy the Wei-Chu alliance for Your Majesty? Or is this your Majesty's fault..."

"Sir Wu, shut up!" Seeing that the fire had reached its limit, Dai Lao began to act as a peacemaker and advised: "Sir Wu, you are too serious. How could it have reached this point? The eunuch must have lost his man. Xiongfeng, who is unbalanced in his heart, wants to take the opportunity to offend the female members of the Chu family, so as to increase his prestige."

Mr. Feng said at the right time: "Dai Lao's words are right. Our Majesty is the most benevolent. It is impossible to order the eunuch to ask for the clothes and belts of women... The imperial city gate is about to be closed. Let's take Prince Wei into the palace first." Well, when I see Your Majesty, I will definitely inform Your Majesty about the chief eunuch’s request for clothes and belts.”

"Mr. Feng, wait..." Wu Chengguan bit his finger and wrote a blood letter on the spot, and handed another blood letter to Mr. Feng: "Please help me present it to His Majesty, please return the Meng family and the Chu family." Daughters, please give justice to the laws of the Davidic Dynasty... I kneel down and thank you."

After saying this, he bowed to Mr. Feng, turned his head towards the imperial city, and kowtowed nine times. This move made many people present sob.

After a while, everyone present kowtowed to the imperial city one after another, repeating: "I beg Your Majesty to return the Meng family, the female family members of the Chu family, and the laws of the David Dynasty to justice!"

The sound was so loud that Wei Chang, who wanted to stand up and act upright, was frightened and flinched.

Wei Chang didn't stay long. He took advantage of the crowd to kneel down and sneaked away to the imperial city... He messed up the matter and made it known to the whole city. It caused the old officials of the Chu Dynasty to write blood letters to avenge their grievances. He must be one step ahead. Go back and inform His Majesty and discuss countermeasures. Otherwise, don't talk to him. I'm afraid even His Majesty won't get any benefits!

There were very powerful dead men guarding Mr. Feng. The dead men kept an eye on the chief eunuch and soon informed Mr. Feng that he had slipped away to the imperial city.

"Xiao Zuo, you are a witness, come with me to the palace to plead your case." Mr. Feng said, and reassured the old ministers. After the clothes were packed, he took a cart of clothes and escorted Wei Xiao to the emperor. Go to the city.

Wei Xiao watched a good show and felt happy. At this moment, he shouted again: "I did not harm Meng. I am innocent and willing to be arrested because I believe that David's criminal law can give me justice." !”

They shouted all the way to the gate of the imperial city. After Meng Changrong heard it, he cursed: "You have hurt someone and you are still calling for injustice. Wei Xiao, you are really shameless!"

Wei Xiao looked at him and said: "I swear on my life that I have never harmed the Meng family, but your family dares to swear on my life that you did not listen to others' orders and deliberately wronged me?!"

Meng Changrong was startled and said angrily: "Shut up! Wei Xiao, you are really vicious. First you seriously injured my father, then you mutilated my sister, and now you bite my Meng family. You, evil people like you, will not be tolerated if you don't obey the law!" "
