Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 721

Xiao Changle felt a tightness in his chest after hearing this.

Because he could tell that this was definitely not a made-up story, "We can't just let it go like this, can we?"

"Zhao Shun can't just let it go like this. He must go to the yamen and beat the drum to appeal for justice. The official who handles the case is still this official." Cen Yuan lowered his eyes and drank. When he raised his head, he found that Xiao Changle had put down his chopsticks and was listening attentively.

He continued, "The official investigated again and found that this was a false case. He indirectly killed Zhao Shun's parents. He felt very guilty, but what was the use? The person still died."

Xiao Changle couldn't help but tense up. He asked himself, with his personality, maybe he couldn't do better than this official.

He asked, "What happened next?"

Cen Yuan said calmly, "Later, because of guilt, the official resigned and returned home to farm."

What he didn't say was that when the Northern Wing was in danger, the official threw away his hoe and rushed to the battlefield, where he met Zhao Shun in his Qingyu Army.

Faced with a powerful enemy, the two men put aside their personal grudges and fought together.

In the "Battle of Lubei", the Northern Wing defeated the 300,000-strong coalition army for the first time with only 100,000 troops. It was the most memorable battle in the history of the Northern Wing.

It was also in that battle that General Wei Bei escaped and returned to Liang State.

In that battle, Zhao Shun came back carrying the remains of the dead official.

The official's body was covered in blood, one of his hands was cut off, and the cut on his shoulder had turned black and rotten.

His legs had been chopped so many times that one of his feet was missing, and there was no intact skin or flesh on his body.

An arrow pierced his body, and that was a fatal wound, hitting his heart.

Zhao Shun cried and kept repeating one sentence, "It was Zhongxiang who saved me! It was Zhongxiang who saved me!"

The official's surname was Zhong, his given name was Xiang, and he was from Yuhe. He was 39 years old when he died.

He was determined to be an honest official and work for the benefit of the people of Beiyi all his life, but a serious injustice and miscarriage of justice occurred under his leadership.

He was deceived by a woman!

That was a stain on his life.

When an arrow was heading straight for Zhao Shun, Zhong Xiang used his remaining hand to push Zhao Shun away and was pierced through the heart by the arrow.

When he died, he left with a smile. He said, "Shun'er, I'm sorry... I'll go downstairs and apologize to your parents first..."

Zhao Shun knelt beside Zhong Xiang's body and refused to get up for a long time.

After being reborn, Cen Yuan took the opportunity to disrupt Zhao Shun's marriage and prevent him from marrying that bad woman.

Cen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Changle, "I hope you won't be like this official. Sometimes when you are dealing with people and solving cases, you can't be too rigid. You need to use your brain more for everything."

Xiao Changle wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up, and bowed deeply to him, "Young Master, I am grateful for your advice."

When the two of them parted, Cen Yuan took out a letter and said, "This is from your sister. Go back and read it."

A few days ago, Shi Anxia guessed that Xiao Changle was embarrassed to see her, so she wrote a letter and asked Cen Yuan to pass it on when Xiao Changle left Beijing.

Xiao Changle took it with great care, put it in his sleeve, and said, "We will say goodbye tomorrow, and I don't know when we will meet again. Changle hopes that the young master and my sister will love each other till we grow old, and live a life without worries."

Cen Yuan also bowed deeply and returned the greeting, "I'll give you my good wishes."

When the two parted, the rain stopped and the wind died down.

Cen Yuan returned home just in time for curfew.

This house has four courtyards.

The house is large, but not many people live there. So for the convenience of travel, the main courtyard was set up in the second courtyard. Now the third and fourth courtyards are still empty.

After passing through the first courtyard and exiting the moon-shaped gate, there is a corridor connected to the hanging flower gate. After turning a corner, you will reach the main courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Bei Hui and the others jumped for joy, running inside and shouting, "Hurry, hurry, the son-in-law is back. Nan Yan, go to the kitchen and heat up the lotus seed soup to warm the son-in-law's stomach."

Nan Yan said briskly, "Yes."

The news had already been passed on, and Hongque was busy getting hot water and wringing out a wet towel to wash her brother-in-law's face.

The maids thought that the girl and her husband could not have their wedding night, and they were afraid that the husband would have some thoughts and resentment in his heart, so they rushed to please him, at least to take good care of him in life.
