The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Half an hour later, Zhang Daiqing and Chang Ning arrived at the Yamen at the same time.As soon as they walked in, they saw two corpses covered by white cloth in the courtroom.Suddenly, the hearts of the two jumped.

The old man and the lame man on the other side were all pale.The old man trembled slightly, and kept cursing in his mouth: "Nie Zhan! Nie Zhan!"

Chang Ning didn't dare to look at the white cloth, and asked anxiously, "Where's Chang Chaoren? And where is Guangping?"

The lame middle-aged man pointed at the white cloth without saying a word.

Zhang Daiqing and Chang Ning's faces turned pale, and Zhang Daiqing refused to believe it: "This is impossible! Mr. He, why did you kill them before we reached the Yamen! We still have something to talk about! The two of them, I...I and Master Chang, no matter what, he is willing to protect..."

This chapter Dai Qing usually speaks eloquently, but now he doesn't know how to continue.He approached the corpse step by step, and with trembling hands, he lifted a corner of the white cloth.

The corpses were cleaned up by the yamen servants, and they barely made up a whole body.Zhang Daiqing only took one look, then let go of his hand and took a step back.

Chang Ning was a few steps away. When Zhang Daiqing lifted the white cloth, he couldn't help taking a look. In an instant, he fell to the ground, hugging his head and crying loudly.

The corpse he saw was Chang Chao.

Lying on the other side is Zhang Guangping.

Zhang Daiqing stood blankly, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

He Mao gave them a little time, and finally, he straightened his posture, patted the gavel, and said in a voice like a bell: "My lords, your son is a sinner, and he should have been executed a few days ago. Now Cutting off their heads is considered to make up for the negligence of the previous government. However, Mr. Zhang, you should be punished if you ignored the law and secretly saved the two."

Zhang Daiqing stood up straight in silence, clenched his hands into fists.He no longer cared about how he would be punished, his eyes were bloodshot, and he just wanted to yell at his son's corpse.The person who was finally rescued was not seen for the last time, and he just disappeared again!

He Li turned to the court and snorted coldly.

The children who died for no reason in Donghe Town are pitiful, and the parents of those children are even more pitiful.But Zhang Daiqing and Chang Ning in front of them are not worthy of sympathy at all.

In the courtroom, Chang Ning's crying gradually subsided. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but without getting up, he grabbed the trouser legs of the old man who was holding on to the pillar, his eyes stared straight, as if he had lost his soul.

Gradually, the surroundings returned to silence.

The candle lamp was blown by the wind, and the light flickered.

He Mao paused, and said: "Zhang Daiqing, let me ask you. How did you hide them and save them?"

**

On the day of execution, Zhang Daiqing asked Liang Bojin about one thing.

Zhang Daiqing wanted to know the specific process of the execution and how to see his son before the execution.Liang Bojin thought of his love for his son, and he didn't feel suspicious, so he told him everything he knew.

How do you think, Zhang Daiqing used another method to save people.

In fact, before Zhang Daiqing found Liang Bojin, he had this plan-the golden cicada escaped its shell.

He Li and the others guessed right. Zhang Daiqing found two men who were very similar to Chang Zhang and the two, and replaced the real Chang Zhang and the two before execution.After the execution, Zhang Daiqing was worried that something might happen, so he quickly took away the dead bodies of the two fake Chang Zhangs, and then left Donghe Town with the real two Chang Zhangs.

The purpose of Zhang Daiqing inquiring about the execution process is to wait for the opportunity to change the post.

Of course, Zhang Daiqing did not inform Liang Bojin of this plan. He and Liang Bojin had only met a few times.

In the courtroom, Zhang Daiqing spoke vaguely, staring at the white cloth, and choked up several times.

He Mao asked: "Zhang Daiqing, did you do this alone, or did you plan it with Chang Ning?"

Chang Ning raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Daiqing in a panic.He was not afraid that Zhang Daiqing would confess him, but he was only worried that Zhang Daiqing would add fuel to the matter and say something.

Zhang Daiqing was overwhelmed with grief, but his mind was still clear, and he said, "Chang Ning is here, why did Mr. He ask me?"

He Mao smiled, turned around and asked, "Chang Ning, explain yourself."

The golden silkworm escaped its shell and rescued the condemned prisoner. This crime can be big or small.And with Prime Minister Yuan around, it's hard to find someone to escape.Chang Ning's heart was ashamed, and he told the truth in detail.

Although Chang Ning did not take part in the planning, he still had something to do with this matter. Moreover, he did ask Zhang Daiqing to help rescue Chang Chao together. He was aware of this matter from beginning to end.

He Maodao: "Chang Chao and Zhang Guangping are capital crimes. Even if they are your sons, they can't flout the law and act recklessly. Now that they have obeyed the law, the case of the missing children in Donghe Town has really come to an end. However, you also You should face the consequences of what you did."

Chang Ning and Zhang Daiqing bowed their heads without saying a word.

They finally rescued Chang Zhang and the two, but they were dead and the matter was completely exposed, and they knew that they had nothing to explain.

As for the punishment of Chang Ning and Zhang Daiqing, He Mao also heard from He Li that when they were in Donghe Town, they informed Zhang Daiqing that he needed to pay a fine. same.Moreover, Chang Ning and Zhang Daiqing will definitely not be able to escape from prison.

He Mao tilted his head and asked kindly with his eyes. Regarding this case, what more details do he need to ask.Because of this case, He Li had experienced it completely, but He Mao did not understand it so clearly with Li.

He Li took a step forward and asked, "Zhang Daiqing, how did you find replacement men? How did you dispose of their bodies when you took them away?"

Zhang Daiqing's eyes froze, and he said slowly: "One person was found in Donghe Town. I gave the family 1000 taels, and they agreed. There is another person, who I met when I was in the capital, and spent 500 taels. I bought them for two silver coins. After they were beheaded, I ordered their bodies to be burned."

This chapter is an understatement and put it simply.However, He Li thought of a strange woman they met when they left Donghe Town, the calico clothes, the unreasonable hatred for them, and the box in the woman's hand...

And sharpen your intuition, things are not so simple.

He Li said: "If you buy a living human life in Donghe Town, will their family members agree?"

Zhang Daiqing said: "The family lives in poverty, and the man is not doing his job properly. He is idle all day long. If I give them 1000 taels of gold, their whole family will not be able to earn that much in their whole life. Why don't you agree?"

He Li looked a little ugly, and said, "That's a person!"

Zhang Daiqing said: "So what. If you don't have money, you can't live a good life. What's the difference between living and dying?"

He Li slapped the table and said loudly: "Speak wild words, Zhang Daiqing, what qualifications do you have to judge other people's life and death! Why don't you think about it, if you are penniless and someone buys your life with money, you Do you want to die!"

Zhang Daiqing snorted, looking superior to others, as if he didn't bother to say more.

He Mao hurriedly persuaded: "Your...Mr. Li, calm down. Let me ask next."

He Li was really angry. He couldn't get used to these people's self-righteousness, relying on a little bit of power and family financial resources, to be arrogant and despise others.

He has seen this kind of face a lot since he was a child, and he is extremely disgusted.

He Li leaned against the pillar, folded his hands on his chest, not wanting to see Zhang Daiqing again, and shifted his gaze to the crippled man.The man kept his head down, not looking at anyone, his right hand pointing at nothing, as if impatient.

Just in time, He Mao asked: "Chang Chao, do you know this old man and man in the hall?"

They must be related to the Chang family if they can get in the carriage of the Chang family. He Mao asked tentatively, and Chang Ning replied, "They are my distant relatives."

I said one thing, I don't want to say more.

He Mao asked again: "Oh? Who's the name?"

Chang Ning glanced at the two of them and said, "They are also surnamed Chang and live in the countryside. This time, they are visiting Chang's house. They have nothing to do with this matter."

He Maodao: "In the middle of the night, they left the city and wanted to escape with Chang Chao and Zhang Guangping. I don't think they have anything to do with this matter..."

Chang Ning gritted his teeth, and for a moment, with a normal expression, he said, "Master He, they don't know anything about what Chang Chao and the others have committed. I asked them to leave together."

Chang Ning's words sound reasonable, but He Mao feels that he is covering up.

He Maodao: "Chang Ning, why do you seem a little nervous, your son Chang Chao has already been beheaded, what are you still afraid of?"

Chang Ning clasped his hands, squeezed his palm firmly, and said calmly: "Master He, everything I said by Chang is true."

He Mao said: "I hope so."
