Chapter 327 My thoughts are written on my face
Someone from the casino testified that it was indeed Xie Cheng who bought the medicine from them, and Lu Yingchen saw him drugging it with his own eyes.
Now that he had been convicted of murdering the county lord, and with the crime of stealing things, Xie Cheng was basically finished.
As soon as this incident was revealed, it caused an uproar.
Ever since Ye Lingyao became the head of Anguo County, many people have been paying attention to her.
But I have never seen someone so shameless and directly administer drugs.
That is the county head, and it represents the face of the royal family. Even if it is a county head with a foreign surname, it will be rewarded by the Holy Emperor personally, and the title will still be Anguo.
This is simply a slap in the emperor's face.
So since the incident broke out, it will not give up.
The emperor heard about it and even personally asked the government officials, hoping that they could resolve the case as soon as possible.
The Fuyin Yamen was also very fast, and it took less than two days to investigate the matter clearly.
Xie Cheng also confessed to his behavior, but he insisted that he did not know that Ye Lingyao was the county owner and only wanted to cling to a noble lady.
But if you say this, who would believe it?
After all, he is a scholar, and he is a scholar with a good reputation. He is the most aloof. How can he like a merchant's daughter?
He must have known that the man was the county lord, so he eagerly approached him.
However, all this can only be left to everyone's judgment. Xie Cheng's own words did not have much effect, and he was still imprisoned.
According to the law, he should be sentenced to deprivation of honor and 50 years in prison.
Huo Xinglan naturally knew about it.
If he knows, then this matter will not end so easily.
He went directly into the palace and found the emperor.
Your Majesty, I was a little surprised when I heard that he was coming.
"Go and call him in."
Huo Xinglan came in and knelt down to salute, "I have met my father."
"Get up."
Seeing him getting up, he said, "Why did you think of going to the palace today? But is there anything important?"
Huo Xinglan looked at the emperor seriously and said, "Reporting to my father, I am here for the matter of the head of Anguo County."
"Oh?" The emperor looked at him funny, "Is this already concluded?"
Huo Xinglan said, "I just want to ask how my father has decided to deal with this."
The emperor suppressed the smile in his heart and asked, "You come to me. You have some ideas. Why don't you tell me and listen to it. If what you say makes sense, I will consider it."
Huo Xinglan replied, "The Lord of Anguo County was personally granted the title of Anguo by my father. He is a meritorious minister of Great Liang. How can he be allowed to be bullied by others? If such a random person can bully the County Lord, wouldn't it be a beating?" Offended my father’s face?”
"continue."
"Father, if this matter cannot be dealt with seriously, if someone comes up with this method to persecute the county lord again, wouldn't it hurt the hero's heart? If the county lord is really harmed, then we Wouldn’t it be a loss of a useful person?”
The emperor nodded, "That makes sense, so how do you think we should handle it?"
Huo Xinglan shook his head, "Father, I just can't stand that person's shameless behavior. As for how to deal with it, it's up to my father to have the final say."
The emperor nodded and directly ordered, "Then he will be deprived of his honors, slapped with a fifty-fifty rule, and sentenced to three thousand miles of exile."
Hearing his verdict, Huo Xinglan had a smile in his eyes.
That's right.
Those who hurt A Yao should be dealt with severely.
If he was only exiled for three thousand miles, he might still be alive.
But if he was beaten fifty times and then exiled three thousand miles, it was doubtful whether he would be able to make it to the end, which would be considered a lesson.
Let him know who he can and cannot mess with.
A pheasant wants to climb up to a phoenix, it's really shameless.
The emperor looked at him and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
Huo Xinglan nodded subconsciously, and after realizing it, he quickly returned to his usual calmness.
"Father has the final say."
The emperor almost laughed out loud at him, "With all your little thoughts, you think I can't see it? You're just pretending, are you stupid?"
Huo Xinglan was a little embarrassed, "Father, did you see it?"
"Hmph! Your little thoughts are almost written on your face. It's strange that you can't see it."
"Is it that obvious?"
The emperor nodded, "It can't be more obvious, but looking at you like this, it seems that you have not won the heart of the beauty."
Huo Xinglan sighed, "Oh...it wasn't the sudden return that broke her heart, and the fact that we haven't contacted him in the past three years, that made her furious."
The emperor's eyes were dark and unclear, "It's not your fault that happened in the first place, it was your aunt's fault."
Huo Xinglan did not speak.
"Alas... your aunt is also a poor person. She originally had a sweetheart, but she was forcibly sent to get married. As a result, her husband died and the child also died. She said she was disheartened, so I took her back. But after she came back and found out that her sweetheart passed away, her whole person changed. I originally sent her to Dongyang Mansion because I wanted her to stay away from the court and live in peace for the rest of her life. I didn't expect that she would use you as a bargaining chip. ."
Huo Xinglan's expression was calm, "Father, you don't have to worry, and there's no need to persuade her. I don't blame her anymore."
Anyway, she has already given the fate she deserved.
If it weren't for the royal dignity, the eldest princess would have been dead by now.
After he gained power, the first thing he did was to unseat the eldest princess.
She was raising a boss in the house, stationing troops, buying off officials, forming cliques for personal gain, and she deserved to die.
It was her father who gave her a way out for the sake of her original marriage.
The current eldest princess no longer has the beauty of the past.
Huo Xinglan came to the door in person, broke her limbs, and gave her mute medicine.
Now the eldest princess can only lie in bed and hum, and will no longer pose any danger to them.
And I heard that her health is not as good as before, and I'm afraid she won't be able to survive much longer.
Naturally, he won't blame anything.
Of course the emperor knew what he was doing, but he also felt guilty for his son.
Living outside, suffering so much, and almost losing his life, he just let it go for such a trivial matter.
You still have your life anyway, right?
After Huo Xinglan finished speaking, he stood up and left.
"Father, since the matter has been resolved, I will leave first."
"Go ahead, if you want to get married..."
Huo Xinglan quickly interrupted him, "Father, that's not necessary. The Lord of Anguo County has a stubborn temper. If I rely on your imperial edict to stay with her, I'm afraid she won't be sincere to me anymore."
The emperor reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then I'll let you go."
"My son retire."
The emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
Ye Lingyao didn't know that such a thing happened. He just heard about Xie Cheng's fate and stopped paying attention.
