Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 120 Takemoto Mushin

The man was silent for a moment, then pleaded in a pitiful voice,

"Master, we were also framed. If you want to beat or kill me, just come at us. I only ask you to show mercy and not hurt my wife and children. They are all innocent!"

As soon as he said this, everyone behind him looked hopeful.

It was a pity that their mouths were stuffed and they couldn't say anything. They could only use the "wuwu" sound to express their agreement with what was said.

Shen Li sneered, "I never thought of hurting your family."

"But you..." She glanced coldly at everyone present.

"Some things, once done, deserve due punishment! You must suffer a hundred times or a thousand times the pain that girl has suffered from you, in order to comfort her soul in heaven!"

The room suddenly became quiet.

With fear of the unknown, everyone raised their eyes and looked at the handsome young man in a dark blue brocade robe from afar.

He was fairer than the girl, with a pair of eyes as clear as brook water, handsome and cold, which seemed somewhat out of place in this desolate house with broken walls and spider webs everywhere.

There was a chill that went straight to the bone in his indifferent eyes.

The people who were tied to the ground and unable to move instantly looked dejected.

For a moment, they were like fish on a chopping board that had stopped struggling, just waiting for the knife hanging over their heads, which would drop at any time and be slaughtered at will.

But there was also a hint of relief.

As long as their families are not harmed, they will be content.

Now, they only regretted that they had entered that room that night and done such a ridiculous thing, which led to the disaster today.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything.

Seeing Shen Li was silent, Luo Zhi asked, "Sir, how do you want to deal with them?"

Shen Li's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she ordered,

"Take them to a locust tree on the east slope of the city outskirts. There is a tomb there. Let them kowtow and admit their mistakes."

Then...

She waved her hand, and Luo Zhi came forward. Shen Li covered her lips with her hand and whispered, "Go find someone for me to take them..."

Hearing this, Luo Zhi looked surprised.

I didn't expect that the girl, who looked gentle and delicate, was actually very ruthless when doing things.

Murder pays off lives, debts pay off.

These men harmed a girl so much, it’s not unfair that they deserve this fate.

"Sir, let me do it! No need to look for anyone else." Luo Zhi said.

"You come?" Shen Li asked back, "But you are a woman, so I don't want you to..."

"These are all trivial matters. We have all been trained!" Luo Zhi said nonchalantly.

Shen Li was stunned. Has the Guard Bureau also been trained for this kind of thing?

If Luo Zhi could do it herself, there would be one less person who would know about this matter, so Shen Li was naturally willing to do so.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you. I'll leave the carriage to you and I'll go back home alone."

It would be impossible to bring so many people to Ziyuan's tomb without a carriage.

Even though Shen Li gave the order cruelly, she didn't want to witness their miserable scenes of wailing in pain.

Although she always believed that they deserved it.

"But I am a little worried that you will go back alone."

"It's okay. The main street is just outside. Nothing will happen in broad daylight." Shen Li replied.

Following the overgrown path, Shen Li walked out of the abandoned house.

Turn around the dimly lit alley and walk to the busy main street.

The sky is gloomy today, with dark clouds pressing over Jiangdu City. Even standing on the main street, there is still no sunshine.

She recalled that in many previous years, Zi Yuan always followed her in silence, yet always managed to get things done.

That day in the carriage, when she mentioned the love of her heart, her face was shy but her eyes were dizzy.

Just like the shadow of the moon in the water, gently blown by the night wind, it turns into messy and unclear spots of light.

Shen Li's eyes were filled with heat, and she found it extremely ridiculous.

Han Yunning?

She really couldn't understand why Han Yunning targeted her time and again.

Why could the evil done to her be so serious?

Is it just because of Shen Beiqi?

Can the evil of jealousy really make people lose their nature?

But at that time, she was obviously closer to Luo Rong, so why did Han Yunning always target her?

Thinking back to the day when we first met at the waterside pavilion, Han Yunning was dignified and generous, and his every move was measured.

No matter what, she couldn't see through it. Under the dignified appearance, there was a vicious heart that regarded human life as worthless.

It was a hot day, but Shen Li's palms were actually sweating a little.

The bamboo has no heart, but branches and leaves grow outside the nodes.

My enemy has been ruthless to me, so why should I show mercy to him?

......

Muxue Teahouse.

A young man in a green brocade robe stood in front of the window. Yue Yang stood on one side and reported the news sent back by the secret guard in a low voice.

When Yue Yang heard the secret guard's words, his jaw almost dropped.

More than a dozen people... were all chopped into eunuchs by Luo Zhi's knife!

He inexplicably felt a chill at the base of his thighs, but his master remained calm and even seemed to have a faint smile on his face?

"Go and release the person, and warn him at the same time. If he dares to talk nonsense..."

"Yes, I understand, little one!"

Yue Yang opened the door and walked out.

"What are you two talking about?"

Luo Jue shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at the tall and handsome young man standing by the window, "Is there anything that the two of us cannot listen to?"

Xiao Wencong was holding a teapot and pouring tea into a cup. Hearing this, he chuckled, "You are curious, but don't drag me along."

Shen Beiqi sat back down at the desk and ignored Luo Jue's words.

"The Liang family's matter is almost settled. All we need is a trigger to bring this matter up." He said softly.

"Speaking of an introduction, who could be more suitable than Yue Niang?"

Luo Jue smiled and said, "You helped her gain a foothold in Jiangdu City, wasn't it for today? This Duke of Liang bullies others by taking advantage of his power and committing many evil deeds. He should have been brought to justice long ago."

Xiao Wencong sighed, "It's a pity that if no one helps secretly, I'm afraid that the Tongxiang case will never be revealed to the world in my lifetime, let alone five or ten years."

"Fortunately, it's not too late."

Shen Beiqi took a sip of tea. Only today could he be considered as truly as powerful as the Duke of Liang.

Otherwise, even if they had the ironclad evidence of the Tongxiang village annihilation case, they would not have been able to bring down the Duke of Liang, who had stood in the court for many years.

Luo Jue: "By the way, you asked me to investigate Han Xiang, but according to the report from Xianzi, Han Xiang has been abiding by the law for many years and has not committed any illegal acts. You are fine, why did you think of investigating him?"

"I just have a suspicion," Shen Beiqi said with a hint of coldness, "Maybe...he really didn't join the prince's camp."

But, is it possible that the prince has something on her?

That's why he helped the prince eliminate dissidents in the court.

"It's not impossible."

Xiao Wencong nodded and said, "But Han Xiang has always been a Confucianist and a stickler for convention. What mistakes could he have made that the prince could have caught him in?"

"If it wasn't him..." Luo Jue thought thoughtfully, "Could it be his two sons?"

Shen Beiqi's eyes darkened slightly, and he placed the teacup in his hand on the table with a sound, "Send someone to follow them. One day, they will reveal their true colors!"
