Yan Li is not inhumane either. Putting the two of them in an exquisite coffin is not a violent corpse, but it is just for the convenience of someone to claim it. A body identification notice was pasted beside the city gate, explaining the cause of death of the two people, their physical characteristics, and so on.
The people onlookers had different opinions.
"Why are these two corpses placed by the city gate?" The person who asked was an illiterate person.
Then someone who could read told him: "The above notice clearly stated that these two people fought each other and died together. They probably were not from the capital, so no one has claimed it until now. The emperor and the governor of the capital Thinking of their loved ones, they arranged the corpses beside the city gate, so that people who knew them could send messages to their relatives, so that relatives could come quickly to claim the corpses and transport them back for burial."
"If no one claims it within five days, the government will pay and buy land for the two to bury. Do you understand now?"
The man suddenly realized and nodded: "These two people are probably outsiders who came to the capital to take advantage of business, and they started fighting after some disputes. Sigh, I don't want to die together, it's really sad!"
Someone sneered and said, "Look at those two corpses, one is obviously very young, and the other is obviously old. The young one can't beat the old one, and they died together. The young one is really useless!"
Another person who loves to argue said: "In this fight, the sword has no eyes. If there is an accident, it will die. It doesn't have to be a young person to kill an old person!"
Anyway, there are those who are fair, some who take advantage of the excitement, some who are cynical, and some who are dismissive. The world is different, and so on.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "The emperor's law is coming, and the people stay away!"
The one who shouted was Fajia's official who opened the way, and he was beating with a gong while shouting. Behind him is the heavy-backed and imposing Guards, with swords in their hands, shining brightly.
When the common people saw it, they retreated to both sides of Tianjie in fear, stood on both sides of the road, and stood on tiptoe to see the emperor's command. Fajia went all the way to the downstairs of Nanxun Gate. Eunuch Lu ran to the car, opened the curtain, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the Nanxun Gate has arrived!"
Yan Li came down, dressed in ocher-yellow robes, with a yellow umbrella covering his head, and beside him were two generals who guarded the palace, more than eight feet tall; behind them were two servants of Titian. Because it was a temporary decision to come over with Rong Changan, and did not call other ministers over. Yan Li stood still, waiting for Rong Changan to get off the sedan chair.
Rong Changan's dress is not very gorgeous, but the plain dress can hardly conceal her natural beauty, every move of her hands and gestures show the noble attitude of a noble concubine.
This was the first time that the people in the capital saw the voice and smile of "Concubine Xue", pointing and talking.
"Look, look! That's the emperor's new favorite Concubine Xue, she's so beautiful!"
"The demeanor is dignified, standing with the emperor, it is really a man and a woman, like a husband and a wife."
"I have seen very beautiful imperial concubines come out to play, but I have never seen such a beautiful one."
Some people compared "Xue'er" with Rong Chang'an, but it was a taboo topic after all, so they only talked about it quietly.
"Compared to Empress Rong, Concubine Xue is not bad at all."
"What you said is wrong. Concubine Xue Gui is more beautiful than Empress Rong!"
"What you said is wrong, Empress Rong is prettier than Concubine Xue!"
Those who supported Rong Chang'an and those who supported Xue'er quarreled with each other, but neither could convince the other, so they had to leave angrily.
Rong Changan walked over with lotus steps, and saw that Yan Li was still standing under the tower, he was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, why don't you go upstairs?"
Yan Li gently held Rong Changan's hand: "You were injured just now, I should help you upstairs. It's cold upstairs, Xue'er should put on a cloak!"
Rong Chang'an showed gratitude: "The emperor is really considerate to Xue'er, and the concubine is very grateful. It's just that I came out in a hurry and never brought a cloak."
Yan Li then told Eunuch Lu: "Go and get my cloak from my sedan chair."
"Yes!" Eunuch Lu took out Yan Li's scarlet cloak and presented it in front of Rong Changan.
As her man, Yan Li should give her the cloak, so Rong Changan deserves it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yan Li picked up the cloak: "I'll put it on for you!"
Yan Li stood behind Rong Changan, and tied the red tassel forward around Rong Changan's neck. The cloak is very thick and consists of three layers. The inner layer is made of tiger skin and deerskin, and the outer layer is made of mink, so once it is worn on the body, it is very warm.
Yan Li: "Now let's go upstairs!"
Taking Rong Chang'an's hand, he went up to the tower step by step, stood by the female wall, and looked down.
Yan Li pointed to the two coffins surrounded by officers and soldiers under the city tower: "The one on the left is the murderer!"
Yan Li was clearly referring to Eunuch Fan.
Rong Chang'an Liu frowned, and his eyes showed suspicion: Eunuch Fan has no strength to restrain a chicken, how could he kill Brother Zhang Jiu and Aunt Wang at the same time? Suddenly, Rong Chang gave a thud in his heart: Eunuch Fan once served Yan Li by his side, how could Yan Li not recognize Eunuch Fan? But why didn't he say anything, only that Eunuch Fan was a murderer? What is he testing me for? Is he really starting to doubt my identity
"Concubine, what are you thinking?" After a series of trials in the past two days, Yan Li found something strange about Rong Chang'an. Could it be that the identity of "Xue'er" is really not that simple? Why would she keep her identity a secret? He hoped to see a little secret from Rong Changan's eyes. "Is it because you are standing too high that you can't see the face of the murderer?"
Rong Changan was surprisingly calm, there was really no ripple of panic on her face. She already felt that Yan Li's gaze was looking at her sharply, the more she was like this, the less she could panic.
She twitched the corners of her mouth: "I have seen the face, it seems that I do know something..." Rong Changan put a shade on his eyes with his hands, looked around, and suddenly showed a shocked expression on her face, "Oh my God, Your Majesty, then... isn't that my adoptive father! How could it be him? How could he be a murderer? Your Majesty, are you making a mistake?"
Yan Li's gaze was like a knife: "Are you sure he is really your adoptive father?"
Rong Changan identified it again, with tears streaming from his eyes: "It's him!" Rong Changan put his hands on his forehead, as if he was about to faint.
Yan Li hurriedly supported her: "Imperial Concubine!"
Rong Changan burst into tears: "Your Majesty, are you making a mistake? How could my adoptive father be a murderer? He... He treats people very well on weekdays. Even if he kills me, I don't believe he will kill anyone."
If Eunuch Fan is really "Xue'er"'s adoptive father, then what is the matter of "repaying kindness" that Eunuch Fan said? What kindness does "Xue'er" have to Eunuch Fan
"Yesterday, I saw that he was really old. If he said he killed someone, I wouldn't believe it. I will arrange for the governor of the capital to investigate again. I will inform you of the truth as soon as possible."
Rong Chang'an: "There is another corpse next to it, whose is it?"
Yan Li put the two corpses at the gate of the city. On the one hand, he wanted to see how "Xue'er" behaved, and on the other hand, he wanted to lure out Li Ming's behind-the-scenes.
Yan Lilong's eyes flashed: "That is another nameless corpse, and it is also waiting for his relatives to claim it. It has nothing to do with your adoptive father."
Rong Chang'an burst into tears, his pink face covered with gullies: "Your Majesty, my concubine begs to bury his adoptive father first, so as not to be exposed outside the city gate, is that okay? Even though he is not my biological father, he is still You are kind to me, seeing him lying in the wind and snow like this makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Yan Li: "Your adoptive father is kind to you, but you are not kind to your adoptive father?"
Why did he ask this question so abruptly? Is there any deep meaning
Rong Changan hesitated for a moment and replied: "What kindness do I have to him, the greatest kindness is that he takes me in."
