[Rebirth] Uncle is above, don't care

The rumors of ghosts seeking revenge in the capital became more and more fierce. Many people who had killed or done immoral things couldn't bear the psychological pressure, and turned themselves in to the Yamen one after another. They would rather die in the hands of the government than be targeted by ghosts.

For a time, the number of homicide cases in the whole country was much less than before. Government offices in various places were happy to see the success, and they lost interest in catching ghosts. , I no longer fear in my heart, and some simply put up statues of ghosts at home, worshiping them every day, wishing that ghosts could be more powerful.

The people who are honest and have no evil intentions are happy, but those who have done bad things are worse than death. Even if they don't believe the rumors for so long, they will believe them now. He found a way to end his sins, and of course this also included Li Yongkang.

Ever since he was almost silenced that day, the Li family couldn't stay any longer. He went back to find his wife and children and was afraid of hurting them. Li Yongkang suffered double torture every night. Worried about Shen Chengqi's ghost coming to settle accounts with him, he was already haggard and emaciated within a few days, and he still didn't look like an official.

In the middle of the night that day, Li Yongkang stood at the gate of Prince Jingxian's mansion with his burden on his back, feeling very uneasy.

He had already resigned from office yesterday, and wanted to take advantage of the darkness to escape to the countryside to seek refuge tonight, but when the carriage drove him all the way west and passed the abandoned Jingxian Palace on the way, his heart skipped a few times suddenly. Suddenly, he actually asked the groom to stop the car, bought some Mingbi paper money and walked here.

Today's Prince Jingxian's mansion is in dilapidated condition, the huge courtyard is overgrown with weeds and broken walls due to the fact that it is left unattended.

Li Yongkang kept shivering as he walked forward. He didn't know why he didn't want to drive at night, but he insisted on wandering around in this "ghost house". Well, if he really leaves, he will be in fear for the rest of his life.

Walking in tremblingly, the huge house is like a coffin swallowing people in the dark night, everything seems to have died with the owner, there is no sound, there is a whining wind in the ear, like a fool who died unjustly Come to him for your life.

Li Yongkang chanted "Sixth Prince, please forgive me" while giving himself the courage to move forward. At this moment, he seemed to have kicked something suddenly, and was suddenly tripped to the ground. Then the door of the house in front of him slowly opened. I opened it myself...

"Mom!"

He screamed, got up like hell, and lowered his head to pick up the paper money scattered on the ground, but there was a strange voice in his ear.

"Da... da... da da..."

"Wh... what stuff? Come out... I saw you!"

Li Yongkang kept trembling with his eyes closed, the weird voice was getting closer... getting closer, and then a cold hard object stuck to his feet...

"Help——!! The sixth prince really knows that he is wrong! Your lord does not remember the villain's mistakes, so don't kill me!"

His hoarse shouts echoed in the empty yard, and there was no other movement except for the whining wind. He opened an eyelid with force, looked down at his feet, and saw a pig face with copper yellow facing him. he laughs.

He tentatively kicked it with his foot, and rolled away with the object.

It turned out to be a pig warm... hand warmer?

He breathed a sigh of relief, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, luckily it wasn't a ghost...

After walking into the front hall with heavy steps, he kowtowed three times to the front seat, "Six princes, I know that you died a miserable death, but I was really forced to do nothing, and now I can't protect myself, you Like a Bodhisattva, I also know that there are old and young in my family, if you receive paper money from me, let the little one go!"

While chanting, he lit a fire and threw paper money into it. The fire flickered dimly, and was blown out by a gust of wind after a while, and then a white shadow floated outside the window, swaying in front of his eyes. There is no shadow.

"...Who?" Li Yongkang shivered and shrank back vigilantly, but a cold hand suddenly touched his shoulder.

"what--!"

He turned around suddenly, there was no one behind him, but thick blood suddenly flowed from the roof on the opposite wall.

"Ghost ghost... ghost!"

Li Yongkang was really scared this time, and ran out of the door like crazy, but at this moment the door closed itself with a "bang", and then a low laughter came from nowhere.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter grew louder, and Li Yongkang shook the door like crazy, "Let me out! Let me out!"

"Li Yongkang, I'm finally waiting for you."

A hoarse and empty voice floated over from nowhere, and it got into his ears like gunpowder, "You... you, you, you are 666... ​​the prince?"

The voice laughed softly, "Oh, thank you for remembering that this prince is a prince. When you murdered me back then, didn't you think about your end today?"

Li Yongkang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly when he heard this, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! It would be better for a pig or a dog to harm you, but I really have no other choice!"

"Hahahahaha... I have no choice? You dare to say that you have no choice! Then the king died willingly!?"

The voice was cold as if frozen, and the blood on the wall flowed more and more with his words, and even flowed to Li Yongkang's feet.

Li Yongkang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he became incontinent immediately. He kowtowed while crying, "I'm just following orders. If you don't follow orders, Lord Duankang won't let me go!"

"You nonsense!" The voice immediately became angry, and Li Yongkang was slapped across the air, causing his left cheek to swell immediately, "What does this have to do with the second brother!"

Li Yongkang seemed to have found the straw to save his life, and his voice became a little louder when he rolled his eyes: "Six princes, I definitely did not lie to you. If there is no prince Duankang behind this matter, how dare I do this!?"

"You don't want to sow discord, my second brother and I are brothers, why does he want to kill me?" The voice seemed a little desperate, and then it became gloomy: "You must be talking nonsense, even if today is your own death day, you still want to drag others Get into the water! You are really vicious."

"No! I am absolutely not talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, you can go to Lord Duankang and ask him. He hates you for dominating him in everything. When he was young, he was loved by the former emperor. When he grows up, even the current emperor favors you. He is the same as you. He is a prince, but he has no military power, so he is motivated to kill!"

"Since a duplicitous person like you can harm me, of course you can also harm second brother. Do you think I will believe your one-sided words?"

"What I say is the truth, if there is even half a sentence of falsehood, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

As soon as Li Yongkang's words fell, there was a sudden thunder outside the window without warning, and the cold voice sneered and said: "It seems that even God doesn't believe your nonsense, Li Yongkang, you don't need to say more, today I will decide I will make you pay in blood!"

Huge lightning struck, and the wind outside the house blew open the window of the front hall. A white figure appeared outside the window, dripping blood all over his body. His long black hair covered his entire face, leaving only a pale Hands reached into the window.

"Ah—ah! No! I'll say it all! The Sixth Prince, please spare me!" Li Yongkang knelt on the ground and cried, not even daring to lift his eyes.

"Oh? Then tell me what else you have to say."

"Chen... I still have the evidence of Duke Duankang murdering you in my hand. Before he sent someone to kill me, I gave him part of it, but...but don't worry, the moon orchid grass and There are still letters from the imperial physician Zhao and the kidnapping of his family members, as long as you show mercy and let the minister go, I will do my best to avenge you."

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true! Even if you let me go to the emperor to sue the imperial court right now, as long as you are willing to save my life." Li Yongkang grasped the last straw, completely ignoring Shen Chengjing's love for him. Well, at this time, a catastrophe is imminent, and I don't care about loyalty to the emperor if I only care about keeping my life.

As soon as the words of the judge's surrender fell to the ground, the white ghost figure suddenly disappeared, and the door behind him was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

Facing the bleak moonlight, Li Yongkang saw the face of the visitor clearly, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.

"Emperor... Your Majesty!?"

Shen Chenghui walked in slowly, with a face full of wind and rain, and behind him was Shen Yinbei with a distorted face, and Shen Chengqi, who was dressed in white and covered in blood...

Li Yongkang didn't realize that he had been tricked until this moment, and what he said was like splashed water, and it was too late to hide it.

He was paralyzed on the ground, his face ashen, fully aware that everything was over for him, he couldn't accept the truth for a while, and burst into tears...

While crying, he prostrated himself on the ground, firmly grasping Shen Chenghui's clothes, trying to make a final struggle, "Your Majesty, please give me a chance, please, I am just confused for a while, and I don't really intend to kill the sixth prince!"

Shen Chenghui raised his foot and kicked him hard on the chest, and smiled angrily: "Li Yongkang, Li Yongkang, you really opened my eyes today. This is my servant of the Ministry of Punishment, the official of the court for the people! You know how to break the law, form a party for private gain, Corruption and bribery... I see all these things and wait to deal with you, but I didn't expect that you would not let go of my younger brother!"

Li Yongkang originally thought that his behind-the-scenes thoughts could be hidden from everyone, but he didn't expect that the emperor had already noticed it. Now that he added a murder of the emperor's relatives, he might be cut to pieces...

But why is he about to die, but Shen Chengjing who instructed him to do all this is safe and sound! ?

Unwilling to be paranoid, the anger ignited ragingly. He already knew that he was doomed to death, and he couldn't make others feel better at this time!

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to say about my crimes, but everything is done by Duankang Wang Ye. At most, I am just a tool for him to achieve his goals. Why don't you pursue him? Is it because he is your younger brother? So the Son of Heaven does not have to commit the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law!?"

Standing aside, Shen Chengqi couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and slapped him with his hands, "When you are about to die, you still make sophistry, why didn't you have such a sense of justice before you harmed someone?"

"That's enough, there's no need to talk too much about a dead person." Shen Chenghui stopped him, without even looking at Li Yongkang, he winked at the guard behind him, "Put this person in death row and deal with him when I go back." .”

"Yes!"

Two guards grabbed Li Yongkang's arm and were about to drag it out. He cried frantically: "The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life!"

But no one paid attention to him, and watched him disappear bit by bit.

For a moment, everyone present did not speak, and their hearts were heavy as if filled with lead. The truth was so cruel that everyone was caught off guard.

After a long time, Shen Chenghui finally let out a long and painful sigh, turned his head and said to Shen Chengqi: "You guessed this result a long time ago and let me summon my second brother in advance, didn't you?"

Shen Chengqi didn't say anything, but this reaction was tantamount to acquiescence.

Shen Yinbei stared at him in disbelief, he turned his eyes away as if avoiding, and didn't have the courage to look him in the eye.

But Shen Chenghui was staring at him at this time, with a storm in his heart, "Tell me... who are you? You will definitely not be the adopted son of the second brother. No one would know so many things for no reason, nor would Exposing your own father with your own hands, what is your background?"

Shen Chengqi pursed his lips and still did not speak. This was the first person who dared not answer the emperor's question, but no one cared about it at this time.

Among all the people present, Shen Yinbei was the most shocked one. At that time, when Shen Chengqi told him that he was going to play a play to lure the snake out of the hole, he didn't think about it. He just cooperated with him in spreading rumors of haunting in the capital. Send people to sneak into the death row and kill many death row prisoners to create a false impression that the innocent souls are dying.

After that, Shen Chengqi led his secret guards into Li's residence at night, forcing him to hand over his criminal evidence, and tonight, he pretended to be a ghost to force Li Yongkang to tell the truth in front of the emperor...

Everything is just a well-designed chess game. It seems that he and he have joined hands to catch the real culprit, but in fact, only Shen Chengqi is in charge of the overall situation.

Since he can set up a net to wait for his opponent to be fooled, he probably already knew that his father is the murderer, so there is only one source of everything: who is he?

Is it Shen Yinque or... Shen Chengqi?

"Report! Report to the emperor that Prince Duankang has arrived."

Just as the atmosphere froze to freezing point, the voice of the guard outside the door suddenly sounded.

"Bring him in." Shen Chenghui heaved a long sigh, took a deep look at Shen Chengqi and said, "You and Yin Bei hide aside first, don't come out, I have my own discretion in this matter."
