Chapter 392 The true face of Anxiang Tower

palace.

The Emperor and Empress were awakened while the Imperial Guards were capturing the assassin.

The emperor simply put on his clothes and stood up, reading a book while waiting for the Dragon Scale Guard to return.

I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Hai, the chief chamberlain, came to report: "Your Majesty, General Lin is back."

After Lin Dayou received the emperor's summons, he strode into the palace with murderous aura around him and anger between his brows and eyes.

The emperor waved to him, "Come, eat some snacks and drink a cup of hot tea. You are tired from the late night."

Where can Lin Dayou eat at this time?
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and told the assassin to run away."

The emperor did not blame him, but comforted him.

"Baichuan (the emperor's nickname for Lin Dayou), that assassin was able to sneak into the palace, which shows that his kung fu is excellent. It's okay if he can't be caught. Don't make yourself angry at night.

"When you first walked in, your expression was very scary, like a evil spirit."

Lin Dayou: "Your Majesty, I am not angry because of the assassin, but when I was searching for the assassin..."

He told what he saw and heard in He Mansion.

"Weichen suspected that this was not the first time that Mr. He had done something like this, so he ordered people to search He's house. Sure enough, they dug up in the yard where Mr. He lived - "

He took a deep breath, "A dozen children's bones."

The emperor was furious and slammed the table, "You are worse than a pig or a dog!"

Any normal person would have zero tolerance for this kind of thing.

The emperor was more angry than normal people.

First, the children who were killed were as old as his Wanwan. He couldn't imagine what irrational things he would do if Wanwan encountered such a thing.

How painful it will be for the parents of those children to compare their hearts to their own.

Another important thing is that those children are all his people. They are still so young and should have a great life and unlimited possibilities.

As the emperor, he should have protected them, but he failed in his duty.

Heartache, anger, murderous intent, self-blame...all kinds of intense emotions boiled in my heart.

The emperor's eyes turned red. He walked to the wall and took down a sword hanging on it.

This is the Emperor's Sword. It is hung here for decoration. It is a representative of the imperial power. It will not be moved easily.

But now, the emperor took it off and pulled out the sword with a "swish".

The blade of the sword was gleaming with cold light, and the moment it was unsheathed, there seemed to be a low dragon roar.

The emperor held the sword and said in a cold tone: "Bring He Yu and his father who is worse than a beast, I want to interrogate him personally."

The lights in the imperial study room stayed on all night.

Interrogated by the emperor himself, with the assistance of the Dragon Scale Guards, the He family's case was easily revealed.

However, although the case was brought to trial, the emperor's mood became even worse.

"Ms. An, the He family is a second-class family. Mr. He Yan is a well-known scholar in the world. I have read his articles in the past.

"However, such a great scholar is actually a beast in private who likes to abuse young children. His behavior is so cruel and perverted that just listening to it makes me feel..."

The emperor covered his eyes, his voice was choked, and he couldn't speak any more.

Queen: "At first we planned to invite him to be Shou'er's tutor, but he rejected it. You weren't happy. Now think about it, it's a good thing we refused. Otherwise, wouldn't Shou'er have fallen into his clutches?"

The emperor also felt happy for a while, but then he became even more angry.

"This kind of people must not be tolerated!"

So He Yu was dismissed from his official position and demoted to a commoner.

He Yan was sentenced to execution after seven days.

The rest of the He family involved in the case also did not end well.

Notices were posted about the He family's crimes, making them public.

However, the case did not end there.

He Yanling's child abuse led to the origin of the child - Anxiang Tower.

The emperor had long wanted to eliminate the cancer in the dark field. Taking this opportunity, he ordered Lin Dayou to lead the Dragon Scale Guards to conduct a thorough inspection of Anxiang Tower and the entire dark field.

The entire dark field was shaken, and everyone inside was imprisoned.

For a time, the prison was overcrowded.

Shangguanjiao, the owner of Anxiang Building, was the first to be interrogated.Facing the gazes of the emperor, right minister, minister of punishment and other important ministers, Shangguan Jiao looked calm and collected.

The master had warned her long before the dark field was investigated.

He also told her what to do.

In short, it’s one sentence——

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

"Shangguan Jiao, a civilian girl, has come to see His Majesty and all of you."

As the presiding judge, Pei Xingjian, the Minister of Justice, said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Jiao, do you know what crime you have committed?"

Shangguan Jiao nodded, "The civilian daughter acknowledges her guilt, but before she pleads guilty, the civilian daughter has something to present to His Majesty."

Pei Xingjian: "What is it?"

In front of Shangguan's delicate breasts is a delicate little box, smaller than a matchbox, inlaid with many rice-sized gems.

Anyone who looks at it will feel that it is just a small decoration, just like a hairpin, necklace, jade pendant and other items.

She untied the box and worked on it.

The box opened with a click.

There is a key inside.

Shangguanjiao took out the key and put it in the palm of his hand, "This is it.

"This key is the key to the safe of Anxiang Tower. When the Dragon Scale Guards searched Anxiang Tower, they must have also searched the warehouse and accounting room of Anxiang Tower, but they found nothing important, right?
"That's because all the important things in Anxiang Tower are placed in the safe. The safe is made of thousand-year-old cold iron. Although it is only the size of a cabinet, it weighs as much as ten thousand catties.

"There are many mechanisms inside that cannot be opened by external force. Only this key can open it."

The emperor looked at her inquiringly, "How dare you hand over such an important thing?"

Shangguan smiled coquettishly.

As the former oiran of Jinlin Pavilion, her appearance is naturally stunning, and her temperament is also extraordinary.

After years of experience, the whole person is like a pearl that has been dusted off, exuding a gleaming light.

This smile really filled the room with brilliance.

Many people present were stunned.

"Because the civilian girl has been waiting for this day for a long time. As for the reason, even if the civilian girl tells her, your majesty and your lords will not believe it. Your Excellency, you should have someone take out the contents of the safe first, and then continue to interrogate the civilian girl."

Pei Xingjian narrowed his eyes. The owner of Anxiang Building was really no ordinary woman.

It took more than a dozen horses to transport the safe.

It took dozens of people to lift him out of the car.

These dozens of people are also dragon scale guards with high martial arts skills.

If it were an ordinary person, it would probably take hundreds of people to lift it.

The safe is not big, just about the size of a large box half as tall as a person.

But when it was put down, the safe collapsed several floor tiles.

In case there was any danger when the safe was opened, Lin Dayou stood in front of the emperor.

The other Dragon Scale Guards held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, surrounding Shangguan Jiao who was opening the box.

Shangguanjiao looked relaxed and opened the safe.

Then he stepped aside, exposing the open safe to everyone.

Nothing happened.

The safe contained a pile of ledgers and documents.

The items were taken out and inspected one by one by officials from the Ministry of Punishment.

But the more they examined it, the more surprised they became.

"If nothing else, the accounts of Anxiang House are really good. They are clear and clear at a glance. They are comfortable to look at."

"On the surface, Anxiang Building is an auction house. All kinds of things are sold, including people. However, those people who were bought in were actually sent back by them? Are the people without parents and family members settled down?"

"Is this still the Anxiang Tower I know? Is it doing charity secretly?"

……

The results of the review were mind-boggling and unbelievable.

In the eyes of everyone, Anxianglou, which sells children and girls as a heinous business, is actually rescuing those who were sold!
