At sunset, Long Xingtu dragged his tired body back to the bamboo courtyard.Li Yanzhou hurriedly served the tea soup, waited for her to ease, and asked with concern: "How is it, has Zhou Tong confessed?"
”Long Xingtu said: "There is one thing that requires you to nod, and after obtaining the consent of Lord Bai and Zhao Shilang, Zhou Tong is willing to confess truthfully." ”"What?""
I assured Zhou Tong that he would suffer the crime alone and would not affect his family.""
Xingtu, you ......"
Li Yanzhou stuck in his throat in one breath and spit out again, "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"
If you want Zhou Tong to confess, there are many ways, you can use torture, you can ......"
Long Xingtu turned his face to the side, a little stubborn, "I have already agreed." ”"And what else are you telling me?"
Li Yanzhou was so angry that he fell on his back on the bed, and he was powerless to complain.Long Xingtu frowned, "I promised verbally, but I have no real power, the judgment is in the hands of your three divisions, so I naturally want to report to you." ”Li Yanzhou squinted at her, "Where are you reporting me?"
You are clearly ......
It's a fake private business!
”"Second Master!"
Long Xingtu pursed his lips and softened his tone, "I don't want to force you to turn your back on the law with a personal relationship, I also understand that this matter is very serious, and if you don't get it right, it will implicate you for the crime of disobeying the will and bullying the king, but think about it, isn't it cruel for the whole family to sit together when one person is convicted?"
How innocent the family is, just like Xia Zhihuai's case, he was killed by himself and the whole family of seventeen people, you have seen that scene, don't you think it is inhumane?
If it weren't for that, how could your Xia Xin ......"
Li Yanzhou interrupted helplessly, patiently persuading her, "Xingtu, I understand your benevolence and kindness, and I also hate the law that is copied all over the house, but no one can change it, and the chaotic times are re-enacted, in order to set an example, it has been handed down from all dynasties, and the emperor has spoken first, and Zhou Tong doesn't know whether to live or die to hit the emperor's face, how can the emperor spare Zhou Tong regardless of the holy authority of the Son of Heaven?"
If this precedent is set, how will the emperor rule the world in the future?
It's easy to fight the country, it's hard to sit on the country, you have to stand in the emperor's position to think about it!
”"Is it true that there is no room for manoeuvre at all?"
Long Xingtu did not give up, and looked at Li Yanzhou's eyes with a little pity.Li Yanzhou immediately lost his temper, he thought for a moment, and sighed deeply: "Even if the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is also inevitable."
Xingtu, don't meddle in this matter, leave it to me, but if possible, I will try. ”Long Xingtu turned sadness into joy, "Okay, I believe you." ”Li Yanzhou bent his lips and smiled, "Okay, you're tired enough these days, let's leave for Wuyang County tomorrow, and when the trial starts in the court, you can play a role again." ”"Okay, I'm back in the room, you remember to take your medicine.""
Hey!"
Before Long Xingtu turned around, she was grabbed by Li Yanzhou's arm, she lowered her head, looked at the man's aggrieved handsome face, and laughed angrily, "What do you want?"
Master is waiting for me to have dinner, do you want to stay with me?
”Li Yanzhou let go of his hand with a spirit, and his smile was more ugly than crying, "You......
Go ahead, and I'll stay with you when I'm healed. ”Long Xingtu smiled sullenly and turned to go out."
Hey, don't think I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid that I'm dead, and I can't marry you as a wife!"
Behind her, the man's babbling words made Long Xingtu's dull mood more and more pleasant, she didn't look back, went out and closed the door, and left briskly.
