Chapter 188, Audio
Now the old lady's illness is getting worse and worse day by day. Xinyi and Wenxing can only be taken care of by two classes. This is not that Xinyi has just stayed up all night and is about to go back to make up for a sleep.
She had just gone out of the door, walked in the porch, and walked towards the bedroom, but she heard a rapid footsteps getting closer and closer. She thought it was the officers and soldiers who were stationed who wanted to come to ask for water, but when she looked back, she saw the man running towards her quickly with an umbrella, running under his feet and splashing water.
"Mr. He?" Seeing his hurried appearance, Xinyi couldn't help but tighten his heart first: "You... why did you come here?"
He Zhigao ran to Langting and stopped, and the wet umbrella didn't have time to put down "... Today's incident... I, I just heard about it! Specially... I came to inform you first..."
"What's wrong?"
His eyes suddenly dodged, which made Xinyi even more uncertain. "Xinyi, I know you are strong and thoughtful, so... that's why I dare to tell you this..."
"You said..." Xinyi took a deep breath and stepped forward to grab his clothes: "What do you think is going on? Don't tell me, tell me!"
"He...he was ordered... to behead him in ten days..."
"Beheading...showing public?"
A roar of spring thunder.
Xinyi's feet were soft. Fortunately, she grabbed He Zhigao's clothes and didn't fall to the ground. She looked at him in a blank way and said, "How could this happen? How could this be! Are you right? Are you mistaken? A Jin... A Jin..."
"It won't be wrong..." He Zhigao lowered his head and said, "This is the emperor's decree. Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has been conveyed, there will be no mistake."
"You talk nonsense... you talk nonsense!" Xinyi argued, "What's the matter... This alchemy courtyard has been sealed, and there are guards guarding it! Isn't it just... Don't you just want to have a place to investigate and collect evidence in the future? Why did you suddenly say that you would be beheaded! This is impossible! Impossible!" Her emotions are completely out of control. Even if she thinks of this ending first, it is still difficult for her to face it now.
"Xinyi, don't do this..." He reached out and grabbed her wrist and shook it gently: "Calm down first..."
"In this way, doesn't he only have ten days to live? How can you calm me down!" She struggled vigorously, "Let go of me! He Zhigao, let me go! I can't let him die like this... I'm going to see His Highness! I'm going to see His Royal Highness!!"
"You can't go!"
Xinyi struggled harder at this time, "Why can't you go!!" She hissed, "At this time... who can save him except the Third Highness!!"
"You should know that the relationship between the Third Highness and Mu Xiandi recently, and now the Third Highness himself is difficult to protect himself. How can we save him again!" He Zhigao tried his best to restrain her movements, "Calm down first! We can think of a way together!"
"There's nothing... except the Third Highness... There's nothing we can do..." Xinyi's struggle finally stopped, and the night's fatigue could not tolerate her tossing like this. Her body shook and almost fell down.
Seeing this, He Zhigao quickly helped her sit down first: "Don't worry. Ten days are not short. Maybe there is still a chance to let the emperor calm down and think carefully about whether Mu Xiandi is innocent or not."
"If the Third Highness can't rely on... What else can I do... save him?" As she spoke, her eyes were sore and she pressed her eyes without tears.
The spring rain was finely woven and fell on the ground, splashing small splashes.
Xinyi sat on the porch pillar and turned his head to look at it, but his eyes lost his brilliance.
"It's also my incompetence..." He Zhigao stood beside her and said, "Our Ministry of Criminal Justice is not responsible for the trial of criminals. What's more, this time, Mu Xiandi will be sentenced to the head directly without the trial of the three divisions, which is not reasonable. But... God's kindness is hard to disobey, and we have no other way..." He paused slightly: "Unless..."
When she heard this, she was stunned and turned her head to look at him: "Unless what?"
"Brother Mu Xian was previously a three-grade imperial historian. If such a great official is judged, he must first be tried by the three divisions of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and Yushitai, so that the sentence can be final. But now Mu Xiandi is going to be sentenced without going through the trial of the three divisions. Anyway, it is not in accordance with the rules. Xinyi, didn't you say that you have evidence to prove his innocence? As long as we can reach the trial of the three divisions first, Mu Xiandi will be saved!"
Xinyi's eyes lit up and looked up at him: "This is reasonable! So...so...so who should these three divisions go to to decide to be tried?"
He Zhigao lowered his eyes, exhaled, and then said, "Generally speaking, the review cases are under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. If there is a suspected prison in Dali Temple, the person responsible for the deliberation and proposing a retrial is... Dali Temple Sizhi."
When he heard this official position, Xinyi's tears flowed down: "Dali Sizhi? If I remember correctly... Mr. Tian... Mr. Tian is the direct director of Dali Temple, right!? He will help, won't he? You said... he will definitely help, right?" With that, tears could not be suppressed, and she quickly stretched out her hand to wipe her face with her cuffs.
He hung his hand in mid-air and didn't know how to comfort her, so he couldn't help saying, "Don't cry... Don't cry first!" Why did you cry about this first?"
"I... I just think... he has hope, hope." Xinyi said and wiped his tears with his sleeves: "Since Mr. Tian is in charge of this matter, have you ever talked about it for him?"
He Zhigao's face was full of narrowness. He lowered his head and said in embarrassment, "It was said...but...but he didn't want to help..."
"What did you say?" Xin Yi heard this and stared at him with big eyes: "Don't you help? Why don't you help?! Donger is Ajin's cousin! At least it's a relative... Don't you help? Impossible, you begged him yourself!?"
"That's natural..."
Xinyi twisted his eyebrows into a ball: "This is impossible! Isn't the relationship between you very good!? Isn't he your uncle?! Even if the relationship between Ajin and Donger is a little far away... You are close... How can you not help?" She stepped forward and grabbed his skirt: "Nonsense! Go and beg him! Why didn't he help!?
"Xinyi, don't be excited..." He Zhigao quickly pressed her hand: "It's not as simple as you think. Although he is Si Zhi, Dali Temple should also have a position to help Mu Xiandi, and he can't go against the rules!" As he spoke, he saw that her movements stopped and then continued: "Besides, who dares to open this mouth at this juncture? If he is not careful, he will also be implicated.
Xinyi sniffed heavily: "That can't be saved... It's not easy to save him. Do you just want to tell me that this trick doesn't work?"
"I know you have an idea, so I came back to discuss it with you." He Zhigao looked down at her and said, "At worst, let's think of another way together."
She shook her head slowly: "There is no other way. If he breaks this way out, he will really be in a different place in ten days..." Xin Yi let go of his hand in a sentomb, and then repeated dullly: "He is going to die? No, I don't want him to die... I don't want him to die, he can't die... can't die..."
"Xinyi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Seeing that her face was ugly, He Zhigao quickly reached out and pressed her shoulder and shook her gently: "Don't be excited..."
But she couldn't listen to other people's words at this time and suddenly realized, "That's right! By the way! Donger... I'm going to beg Donger. Mr. Tian won't buy you, but he likes Donger very much! Sure... I must be able to hear what Donger said. I'll go now, I'll go!" With that, he brushed his hand and turned around and ran into the rain, but just as he was about to step into the rain, he pulled back by his wrist.
"Wait first! Even if you ask her, you are not in a hurry. You don't look good now. I think you should have a good rest first, and then..."
"Now such a thing, even if you let me rest, how can you sleep! Why don't you let me see Donger first?" Xinyi said this and shook his arm hard in an attempt to get rid of his clamping: "Dong'er has such a good relationship with me, and she is also in love with A Jin!" I will definitely help him!"
"But no matter how affectionate she is, now she is a married woman, and now she is pregnant again. It is impossible for her not to think about her husband's family!"
"But...except for her... I can't think of anyone I can ask for." Xinyi stopped struggling and looked back at He Zhigao: "I don't want to... I don't even have any hope. I want to try."
Seeing her insistence, Mr. He finally gave in. He finally gave in. He sighed a long sigh, and then picked up the oil paper umbrella at hand: "If you must go... I'll see you there."
I have to say that even He Zhigao has no other plan at all now. Now the news of beheading may not have been made public, and Xinyi can't expect Li Chenzhongmo... or the Third Highness, who has been living a bad life, can help. According to He Zhigao, the only most likely thing is to return the case to the three divisions for trial. At that time, the evidence is conclusive and he can return his innocence.
But it is this suspicion that everyone dares not speak out now.
Although Xinyi said that he was very capable of marrying Mr. Tian, whether Mr. Tian would buy her account or not, he said something else. After all, the kindness is not worth the disaster that may come at any time.
But it's always like this. Xinyi really has no other way but to rush to Mr. Tian's mansion.
