After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 393 Your Majesty, they deserve to die

When Shangguanjiao was interrogated again, everyone looked at her with very complicated eyes.

Pei Xingjian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment: "Shangguanjiao, you are in charge of Anxiang Tower, but you are secretly saving those women and children who were sold. What is your purpose?"

Shangguanjiao: "Purpose? It's just because I myself have been bought and sold involuntarily, so I want to do something for those poor people.

"Of course, I am not innocent, and my methods are not fair at all. I have even killed many people in order to achieve my goal.

"But I don't regret it, I just hate that I was too weak and failed to save all the innocent children.

"And Amao, she could have lived well, but I killed her..."

Shangguanjiao, who was always calm and indifferent, could no longer hold back her tears when talking about Amao.

Pei Xingjian was silent and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although Shangguanjiao killed many people, those people were all heinous people, and her original intention was to save people. She has saved countless people in the past few years.

"I believe that I can reduce her guilt as appropriate."

The censor doctor who was also trying the case said uprightly: "Master Pei's words are wrong. If you can escape the punishment of our Dayong Law just because you save people, wouldn't the law become a decoration? From now on, everyone will rush to imitate it. Isn’t this world in chaos?

"I believe that not only cannot we be treated lightly, but we must also be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

The two sides quarreled over this.

Supporters of the two men followed suit by rolling up their sleeves and spitting, each holding their own opinions.

For a time, there were hundreds of ducks quacking in the palace, and the emperor had a headache from the noise.

"enough!"

Everyone was so shocked that they suddenly came back to their senses at the emperor's shout, and immediately closed their mouths.

The emperor announced: "Shangguanjiao, although you have saved many women and children, you have also killed many people. You have violated Dayong's law. Your merits are not worth it. I have twenty sticks and a fine of 300 taels. Can you plead guilty?"

Shangguan Jiao bowed deeply and touched her forehead to the ground, "A civilian girl pleads guilty."

Sure enough, as the master said, as long as she confesses leniently and has a good attitude towards pleading guilty, the emperor will give her a lighter punishment.

She has internal strength, and hitting twenty paddles will only cause her to suffer a little physical pain, but will not damage her muscles or bones and kill her.

A fine of 300 taels was a piece of cake for her.

The salary her master gave her was generous, and she didn't have much to spend money on. Her savings had long exceeded 300 taels of gold.

"Your Majesty, Shangguanjiao was picked up by a carriage after she left the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The servant sent someone to follow her."

Jiang Hai came to report to the emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Keep an eye on me. If there is any movement, I will report you at any time."

Shangguanjiao, a weak woman, could take root in a place like Anxiang and manage Anxiang Tower in a spectacular way. It is impossible that there is no one behind her.

He gave Shangguan Jiao a lighter punishment and let her go because he wanted to follow her to find out who was behind her.

But on the surface, the Anxianglou case is over.

The emperor continued to interrogate other people in the dark court, and the more he interrogated, the more angry he became.

The Emperor's Sword in his hand smashed several desks into pieces.

If he hadn't still had some sense, he wouldn't have chopped off the table, but the heads of those people.

Back in the harem, he couldn't help but complain to the queen.

"The masters behind those shady businesses in the dark place are actually wealthy families! Many of the guests captured from the dark place are even imperial officials.

"On the surface, these people look honest and honest, and love the people like their own children, but they are so mean in private! What kind of beauty banquet are they holding? An Niang, do you know what that beauty banquet is?

"Let the beauty take off her clothes and lie on the table, use her as a food plate, put various dishes on her body, and a group of people gather around her and eat vegetables on her body..."

The queen's face changed and she looked extremely disgusted.

We are both women, and just thinking about that scene, we feel a chill coming from the soles of our feet to the sky.

"Have you finished eating the food?"

The emperor gnashed his teeth and said: "After eating the food, they threw the beauty into the animal cage.

"And those people would watch around the cage, and they would also bet on how long the beast in the cage would last, and whether the beauty would survive in the end." The emperor closed his eyes, "An Niang, I never thought that, Human nature can be so evil.”

The emperor clenched his fists tightly, and the joints made a cracking sound because of too much force.

The queen stretched out her hand to cover his fist, her tone was very soft, but her words were filled with sharp murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, they deserve to die."

Emperor: "I know, An Niang, I will give justice to those who died in vain, and I will send those things that are worse than animals to atone for their sins."

in the prison.

The old ghost and more than a dozen people were crowded into a cell, and he couldn't even stretch his legs while sleeping at night.

The prisoners in this cell are not important prisoners, they are small fish and shrimps.

Therefore, it was not their turn to be interrogated in a short period of time.

It was late at night, and the old ghost huddled in the corner and had a sweet dream.

In the dream, he ate delicious sauced pork elbow.

The elbow was stewed so soft that it fell off the bone with just a slight shudder. Taking one bite was satisfying.

Chewing and chewing, he bit his tongue and woke up from the pain.

Alas, when will he be able to get out of prison and really get his kicks?

Ling Lingyi said before that he would be given acupuncture to cure his amnesia, but now that he is in prison, wouldn't it be impossible to perform acupuncture?

Suddenly, the old ghost's nose smelled the scent of meat.

He twitched his nose twice and found that it was coming from outside the fence.

It was probably the group of jailers having a midnight snack again.

Just as he was thinking this, a man walked over in a swaggering manner and stopped outside his cell door, holding a large three-layer food box in his hand.

The smell of meat wafted out of the food box.

"You you...how did you get in?"

The person who came was surprisingly Ling Ling Yi.

Lin Xi: "You just walked in."

She opened the door with the key and walked in openly.

She got the key by hypnotizing the jailer who kept watch.

The old ghost's fellow inmates were all asleep, and snoring could be heard in the cell.

To be on the safe side, Lin Xi's mental power swept over them one by one and hypnotized them all to prevent these people from waking up midway.

"Eat." Lin Xi handed over the food box.

The old ghost was caught because of her involvement.

If she hadn't wanted to use the emperor's help to kill that old beast of the He family and expose the evil deeds of the He family to the public, Anxiang Tower would not have been involved.

Anxiang Tower was not involved, and the dark field was not targeted and investigated.

The secret scene was not investigated, and the old ghost who opened a shop and did business would not be caught.

Of course, Lin Xi thought of this series of consequences before taking action.

But because of Amao's death, she was also planning to close Anxiang Tower.

There is no need for the dark field to exist.

It just so happened that the emperor and the court could clean it up in a big way.

In addition, she has another purpose——

Use the old ghost's mouth to reveal something to the emperor.
