After rebirth, Her Royal Highness is a black lotus flower

Chapter 240

Taking the two account books in Shen Qianzhao's hand and flipping through them, Zhou Yan said, "If that's the case, someone must have cut corners when building the embankment, so this year's flood may have something to do with it ten years ago."

Song Huai nodded, "I remember that the last Xunzhou Inspector was killed ten years ago when he was building a river embankment. At that time, the case was solved very quickly with all the witnesses and evidence."

Shen Qianzhao turned the account book to the front, "The person who was sent to Xunzhou to supervise the construction of the embankment ten years ago was Sun Biao. It was also because of this that he was promoted to Jiedu envoy."

If the events of the past ten years are really tricky, many of the officials involved have been promoted in the past ten years, and they are no longer the little people of the past, including Sun Biao, the Jiedu envoy who guards Xunzhou.

Song Huai said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid, this incident ten years ago is the real reason why the other party is eager to kill Liu Shengkou, and Liu Sheng wants to kill Yuan Chen, I'm afraid that the death of the governor of Yuan Dynasty back then is not enough. Simple."

On the side, Guanshi Liu was lying on his body, and he wanted to leave secretly with his footsteps lightly. Before he opened the study door and stepped over the threshold of the study, the steel needle crossed the air and passed through Guanshi Liu's neck, ruthlessly Hit it hard on the study door!
Shen Qianzhao's voice was cold, "If you want to die, just step out of this door, there are many people outside who want to kill you, just like your Lord Liu who committed suicide in the cell."

Guanshi Liu was terrified and cried bitterly, "The little ones just use money to do some small things. The things you mentioned, the small ones dare not touch even half of them!"

Song Huai pulled Shen Qianzhao past him, subconsciously standing in front of Shen Qianzhao, "How did the governor of the Yuan Dynasty die?"

Guanshi Liu knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, "It was Master Sun and Master Liu who did it. The younger one was hiding in the dark at that time, so I saw it all!"

"They seemed to have a dispute over some jade mine, and they pushed Mr. Yuan down. The younger one was scared out of his wits. The next day, people in the city said that Mr. Yuan was dead."

The three of them looked at each other, and guessed right, it really had something to do with that batch of jade.

Song Huai's eyes darkened slightly, "How do I know if what you said is true or not?"

Manager Liu repeatedly kowtowed, "Everything you say is true, how dare you hide it now? Yuan Chen was often away from home back then, and when he came back, he had a falling out with Mr. Liu because of this, and he has always suspected his father. Master Liu did it, and now Master Liu wants to take advantage of this matter to get rid of Yuan Chen."

There was silence in the air for a moment, and Shen Qianzhao's face changed slightly, "No, if the governor of Yuan Dynasty was really murdered by Sun Biao and Liu Sheng in collusion, then Sun Biao would definitely use this to get rid of Yuan Chen. I remember Sun Biao Biao also has an imperial edict given by his father to prepare the granary for war in his hand."

Shen Qianzhao finally remembered at this moment. Two years ago, when he went to the royal study to deliver soup to his father, he heard the emperor and the emperor talking about it. , so I remember this.

Song Huai put his fingertips on the table and tapped lightly, his face was rarely serious, "If so, Cheng Feng might not be able to handle it."

"It's not too late, let's catch up quickly." Shen Qianzhao packed up the ledger, held the ledger and took Song Huai's hand, and left, "Master Zhou, please hurry up, we will wait for you at the door."

Zhou Yan, who was left behind, escorted Guanshi Liu, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to stay here and wait for someone to kill you, or come with us and testify against Sun Biao?"

Before Liu Guanshi could answer, he was escorted by Zhou Yan and forced to go outside.

Taking quick steps, he cautiously glanced at Zhou Yan, who was full of murderous aura.

"." This person didn't give himself a chance to make a choice at all.

In the downtown area, officers and soldiers escorted Yuan Chen with disheveled hair to the execution ground. Along the way, shouting civilians chased him, reluctant to part.

When they arrived at the execution ground, several squires from He County even loudly shouted to speak for him, "My lord, Mr. Yuan is also here to save the people of He County and the disaster victims!"

"Master Yuan is a good official, you can't kill him!"

Even the officers and soldiers escorting Yuan Chen couldn't bear such a situation.

Xie Lin followed the people all the way, watching this scene, sighed in his heart, a real parent official who can be so loved by the people, such a good official, it would be a pity if he was really killed.

He tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, and if Lord Sun was really hard-hearted in the end and wanted to kill Lord Yuan right now, Xie Lin would rob the court.

I have long wanted to try what it would be like to rob the law field, anyway, with Shen Xiaozhao in the background, what is Xie Lin afraid of.

Sun Biao on the stage looked at the people in the audience like this, and scolded with a stern face, "Yuanchen has no intention to open the granary to release grain privately. be beheaded!"

"Anyone who dares to intercede for Yuan Chen will be regarded as an accomplice and taken down on the spot!"

As soon as this remark came out, no one dared to plead for mercy, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Yuan Chen looked at these people who saw him off, tears welled up in his eyes, what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

Among the onlookers, a man secretly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "Tell me, does this beheading hurt?"

Xie Lin next to him was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and took a look, it was the Xiaoer who he met at the inn yesterday, he just wanted to say something, but he heard the other person say to himself,
"I asked you why, and you haven't been beheaded too much. How do you know if it hurts or not?"

Xie Lin: "." Nonsense, if I had been beheaded too much, I would have met Hades long ago, how could I stand here.

Time passed little by little, and soon, it was noon.

"It's noon! Execution!"

Following Master Sun's order, the executioner sprayed wine on the knife edge.

A tear fell from the corner of Yuan Chen's eye, as if unwilling and helpless, it slipped from the corner of his right eye into his left eye, and he closed his eyes in despair.

At the moment when the executioner held up the big polished steel knife, suddenly, he shouted, "Leave it under the knife!"

The executioner was startled, quickly grabbed the knife, and took it back.

Xie Linfei went to the execution ground and stood in front of Yuan Chen!

Sun Biao got up and yelled angrily, "Who are you! How dare you rob the court!"

Xie Lin responded coldly, "Master Yuan is such a good official, Mr. Sun, if you kill him today, you will kill a good official by mistake!"

Yuan Chen opened his eyes, grateful in his heart, but sighed again, "Yuan Chen is about to die, why do you need to go through this muddy water?"

Sun Biao clenched his fists under his sleeves, looked at the officers and soldiers around the execution ground, and yelled coldly, "Hurry up and take this person down?!"

But before the officers and soldiers stepped forward to make a move, another figure riding a horse rushed over!
"Master Sun! Keep people under the knife! Master Yuan is wronged!"

Riding the wind, he came galloping on horseback, holding up the letter.

"Before the opening of the storehouse to release the grain, Master Yuan wrote a letter to ask for an order, but he was detained by Mr. Liu, the governor of Xunzhou. Mr. Liu pleaded guilty in prison yesterday, and here is the report! I also ask Mr. Sun to retry the case!"

Suddenly, the people shouted.

Xie Lin on the stage was startled, glanced at Yuan Chen, with complicated emotions, "It seems that the heaven you believe in can really save you."
