Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system
Chapter 227: Death of Ah San
"I heard that someone was causing trouble, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be Lord Sheng again." Lord Yu said with an unpredictable look, "But now that we are here, Lord Sheng can let go."
As he spoke, two officers came over. Sheng Chang'an looked at them carefully before slowly letting go and admonishing them, "You two must hold on tight. Don't let anyone commit suicide out of fear of punishment in front of everyone."
The two officers exchanged a tacit glance and said, "Don't worry, Master Sheng," but when they took Ah San, they squeezed him hard, then lightly held his arm without leaving any trace.
Sheng Changan naturally discovered it, but didn't say much. It has always been the case that officials protect each other, not to mention in this capital city. As long as this man doesn't die at her hands, it's fine.
As Sheng Changan expected, they walked extremely slowly for such a short distance, obviously trying to delay time.
Asan also knew this very well. When he was halfway there, he only needed to exert a little force to break free. The officer seemed to be defenseless and the knife he was carrying was pulled out by him.
A faint cry of surprise inevitably emanated from the crowd. Asan's hands were shaking a little, but he acted without hesitation. The blade slashed the neck, leaving a bloody mark on the flesh.
When the man fell, his eyes were wide open and his gaze was fixed in the direction of Sheng Changan.
Sheng Changan sighed deeply, feeling somewhat regretful. "The officials in the capital are only capable of this level. The people they sent to their hands could actually die like this. I didn't know that I would think that Lord Yu was colluding with the people behind him."
Lord Yu's eyes became stern, and the officers who started to arrest people immediately knelt down to apologize when the man died, lowered their heads, and took all the blame on themselves.
Lord Yu was about to say something when Sheng Changan sneered, "Lord Yu, are you just going to let it go? Tsk." She didn't say anything, but the expression on her face said it all.
The veins on Lord Yu's forehead touched, and he felt a little depressed. He didn't expect that Sheng Chang'an was so slippery.
Originally, they wanted this person to ruin Sheng Changan's reputation first. Of course, they didn't expect much of this. If it were really that easy, she wouldn't be alive today.
They just hoped that Asan would die at her hands. No matter who it was, as long as they were Sheng Changan's men, they would just send them to jail. They didn't expect that they were so strict in their defense.
Even his jaw was removed, he can't do anything, he's such a loser.
Lord Yu took a deep breath. Sheng Changan was still acting so strangely. For a moment, his expression became particularly ugly. He closed his eyes, trying to calm down his anger. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Why don't you take your people and leave quickly?"
He didn't even respond to Sheng Chang'an. Although he seemed too lazy to care, the people present didn't think so. They only knew that a county magistrate from another place could actually suppress Lord Yu from the Ministry of Justice.
There was excitement in his eyes as he looked in amazement at Sheng Chang'an, a woman who had reached this position. You know, in the past, it might have been more common for women to be officials.
But since the previous emperor took office, he began to suppress female officials. Until the current emperor took office, female officials have become increasingly rare. Even if there are any, they will die within a few days.
There was also a lot of discussion among the people, and because of this, the female officials of the court disappeared from the public eye.
I don't know who mustered up the courage to ask, "Is it true that you've killed countless people?"
Sheng Changan: "...?"
This time, without waiting for Sheng Changan, Xu Qing and the others were furious. "Who is talking nonsense? No one who has been to Guangping would say such a thing. When you took office, the people of Guangping County couldn't even get enough to eat, and the Xianbei were constantly invading."
"Now everyone in Guangping has clothes to wear and every household has food in stock. Who is ruining the reputation of our masters?" Xu Qingshen was filled with disgust.
Gao Qiang also spoke out, "I was rescued by adults." If adults had not given him a chance, he would have been discovered sooner or later if he had been hiding in that mountain.
The people were skeptical. "But some say you didn't even let go of the corpses." Someone added, "They said they saw it with their own eyes."
Xu Qing felt a sharp gaze from behind him, which made him feel weak. "These are Xianbei people. They deserve it."
There was a pause. "So...it's true?"
Sheng Changan looked at Xu Qingqian and smiled, "You'd better explain it to me clearly today," then walked in with an expressionless face.
The ancients attached great importance to being buried in peace after death. Now that this has been seen and spread, coupled with the manipulation of people in Beijing, her reputation can be imagined.
Xu Qing shrank his neck and said "..." He felt a little aggrieved. These Xianbei people deserved to die, and he was obviously very careful, so how could he still be discovered?
Gao Qiang patted his shoulder and said, "We will help you to clarify it." Wu Chang and others also nodded with a silly smile on their faces.
Xu Qing was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He knew that they were the best people.
The onlookers wanted to disperse, but seeing that they were not as the rumors said, they stayed out of curiosity.
"Why did you leave Gao Qiang and the others behind?" Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows.
"If we want to restore our reputation, Xu Qing alone is not enough," Yuan Qi said with a puzzled look. What could be more effective than hearing from fellow travelers?
Sheng Changan glanced outside and wondered why Xu Qing was so moved. Could it be because Gao Qiang and the others volunteered to stay and help?
