Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 117 Suicide out of fear of crime
Shi Tou collapsed to the ground. After the shock, he was filled with overwhelming grief. His tears flowed from the corners of his eyes like a broken dam. His mouth opened wide, but his throat seemed blocked, and he could only let out a few broken cries.
Sadness spread to every corner of the room, and everyone who was infected by it felt a little sad.
Xie Qingli nestled in Chu Yuncang's arms, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. She suddenly realized that, unknowingly, her rebirth had changed the fate of many people. For example, Gou'er could have grown into a bright, cheerful, and handsome young man, just like in his previous life, instead of being beheaded for a crime that wasn't his fault.
Xie Qingli couldn't help but feel a little depressed. In her new life, she had vowed to live a carefree life!
However, as a small person, she sometimes has to endure and give in for the sake of the overall situation. She has to try her best to protect the people she cares about. However, some people can manipulate her destiny at will. Can this be considered arbitrary?
Perhaps, only those who truly stand at the top can have true freedom!
Xie Qingli raised her head and looked at Chu Yuncang with red eyes. Perhaps, what she should do is not to escape from the Chu family, but to strive to climb the big tree in front of her, and do her best to help him reach that position, so that she can get the power she wants.
At that time, she also became someone who could manipulate the fate of others, and could even do whatever she wanted more than the Chu family! She might not be happy at that time, but she must be very willful!
The light in Xie Qingli's eyes gradually became firm.
Chu Yuncang didn't know what decision Xie Qingli had made. He felt a little uneasy and said softly, "Li'er, I have arranged for someone to collect the child's body. I will find a good cemetery to bury him..."
Xie Qingli said softly, "Your Highness, let's take another look at him! As for how to bury him, let the stone decide!"
Shitou's crying has stopped, and his tears seem to have dried up suddenly, leaving only two tear marks at the corners of his eyes.
He sat up and knelt before Chu Yuncang, begging, "Your Highness, please hand the dog over to me. Your Highness, I am willing to go through fire and water, even death!"
Xie Qingli looked at Shi Tou in surprise. Does he want to follow Chu Yuncang in the future?
Chu Yuncang actually had a new respect for the stone. He said softly, "I did this for Li'er. You don't need to repay me." He turned around and asked, "Liuguang, is everything arranged?"
Liuguang bowed and said, "Master, everything is ready. Please move to the mortuary!"
Xie Qingli looked at the distraught Shi Tou, then turned to Chu Yuncang and said, "Your Highness, can you send the dog home? It's in Yangliu Lane." Her bright eyes were full of pleading.
Li'er had never looked at him with such soft eyes. Chu Yuncang's heart almost melted. He immediately nodded and told Liuguang to do it.
Liuguang hurried out to make arrangements, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart that his master had been completely controlled by Lord Xie's sister.
An incense stick later, Xie Qingli and Shitou saw Gou'er in the dilapidated courtyard of Yangliu Lane. He was lying in an exquisite coffin. He had been carefully washed and combed, his face was peaceful, the wound on his neck was almost invisible, and he was wearing exquisite clothes. He looked like a young master from a wealthy family, completely different from the Gou'er they had in mind.
Shitou's face was calm, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Boss, I want to talk to Gou'er alone. If you are free tomorrow, you can come and see Gou off."
Xie Qingli whispered, "Where do you plan to bury him?"
Shitou stroked Gou'er's coffin and said softly, "Gou'er wasn't abandoned. He just became an orphan because his parents died. He must want to be reunited with them. I will bury him next to them."
Xie Qingli's eyes were slightly moist. She nodded gently and walked out of the hospital reluctantly.
Chu Yuncang stood quietly outside the door.
Xie Qingli wiped his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I want to investigate the dog's case with Your Highness."
Chu Yuncang's eyes lit up. He had noticed the change in Xie Qingli's attitude. The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, and he walked out of the alley side by side with Xie Qingli.
……
In the Dali Temple, Dali Temple Minister Fan Yuan was at a loss.
Huang Dai died inexplicably in the Dali Temple's Tianlao, and the jailer who was guarding Huang Dai disappeared. When they found the jailer in his home, he was already a corpse emitting a foul smell. The coroner was certain that the jailer had been dead for more than three days!
But countless people can prove that until the day Huang Dai was interrogated, the jailer was still alive and no different from before.
Fan Yuan was suddenly overwhelmed. Was he seeing a ghost?
The Huang family's case has been settled, and all the Huang family members have been beheaded in public. However, the Dali Temple has many cases. Just when Fan Yuan was struggling with whether to close the jailer's case, Prince Chu Yuncang came to visit.
Chu Yuncang brought two guards this time. One of them was thin and extremely handsome, and did not look like a guard at all. Fan Yuan could not help but take a few more glances at him.
Chu Yuncang was slightly displeased. He gently turned sideways to block Fan Yuan's view of Xie Qingli.
Fan Yuan secretly complained, "I heard that the Crown Prince isn't interested in women. Could it be that he's... a manly man?!"
"Master Fan, how is the investigation into Huang Dai's murder going?"
Chu Yuncang's cold voice interrupted Fan Yuan's reverie. A look of worry immediately appeared on his face, and he told him the whole story in detail.
Chu Yuncang was shocked. The situation of the jailer was exactly the same as the Liuying incident. Could it be that all this was done by the same group of people?
He was slightly excited. He thought that with Huang Dai's death, the people behind him would remain silent and it would be difficult to find any clues. He didn't expect that such a tail would be left behind.
Xie Qingli, who was standing behind Chu Yuncang, frowned slightly. The jailer must have been impersonated by someone in disguise. His master was from the Fengqian Zou family and was able to make such a lifelike human skin mask. Could it be that someone in Dongling had also learned this skill?
Chu Yuncang said in a deep voice, "Master Fan, the jailer who interrogated Huang Dai must have been an imposter. This is a serious matter. I would like to send a shadow guard to assist the Dali Temple in investigating this case."
He was just a jailer, how serious could it be? Fan Yuan wanted to refuse, but he heard Chu Yuncang's cold voice again: "In addition, someone arrested a beggar pretending to be a death row prisoner. The Shadow Guard will also investigate this case."
Fan Yuan was so shocked that he stood up suddenly and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This gentleman's words were always so shocking.
Chu Yuncang said coldly: "The youngest son of the Huang family who was executed today was impersonated by a beggar."
Fan Yuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was true, then his Dali Temple was full of loopholes. How would he explain this to the Emperor?
Suddenly, a bailiff rushed in and reported in panic, "Your Highness, Lord Fan, the rumor is spreading that the Fourth Prince committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
