"His Royal Highness, Miss Nine, then I will take Qingniang back to the government office first."
Wang Huaiyu cupped his hands to Yan Chi and Qin Wan, Yan Chi nodded, and Wang Huaiyu followed Qingniang out.
Soon, only the first few yamen servants and Qin Yan were left at the gate of the courtyard. Qin Shuang stared at Qin Yan with wide eyes, "Third Brother... If I heard correctly, Qingniang is one of these few people. The murderer in this case? Qingli was also responsible for her?"
Qin Yan nodded, and his brows were also tightly frowned. He has been investigating inside and outside the mansion for the past few days, but he didn't notice such a servant girl as Qingniang, not to mention Qingniang, but he on Chang's side. It never occurred to him that such a sudden occurrence right now would cause him to be somewhat overwhelmed.
Qin Shuang looked at Qin Wan's back in surprise, and said in a low voice, "I'll follow her wherever she goes these few days. How did she know Qingniang was the murderer? Why didn't I find anything."
Qin Yan frowned slightly, and also looked at Qin Wan, his eyes darkened by two points for a moment.
In the courtyard, Qin Wan and Yan Chi stood together, looking at Mrs. Chang who came out of the room with a sad face. Mrs. Chang walked to the door and stood where Qingniang had just stood, her eyes were reddish, and she hesitated to speak.
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi for a moment, then walked to the door.
"Nine girls..." Chang's eyes were slightly wet, and he hesitated to speak.
Qin Wan entered the room, took a look in the direction of Nuan Pavilion, and then looked at Chang Shi and said, "What's your plan after Ma'am?"
The corners of Chang's lips were tightly pursed, and it took a long while before she shook her head, "I just won't stay here."
Qin Wan's slightly deep eyes were relieved, "Madam must know."
What Qin Wan said was not a question, but a statement. When the words settled down, Chang's complexion really changed. She was slightly nervous and clutched her cuffs tightly, and turned her back to the outside. In the yard, Yan Chi was standing did not move.
Qin Wan looked at Chang and said, "When did Madam know about it?"
Tears rolled down from the corners of Chang's eyes, and she said with a choked voice, "When Yun'er had an accident, I didn't know who Qingniang was at first, but that time, I wanted to bring Jiayan to die with Pang Yiwen and Pang Fuliang. It was Qingniang who persuaded me. Qingniang said that she could help me, but she said that she had to wait for the opportunity and investigate the past events of the year. She surfaced to give justice to her master. In the past few years, Qingyun came less often, and Liu Renli only came twice. She never waited for the right opportunity until this time... "
"That's when I found out that a bastard like Pang Fuliang really did murder and money back then, and it's because of this that he made his fortune from nothing." As she spoke, Chang choked, "Miss Nine, really, You can't blame Qingniang, you don't know, you don't know that Pang Fuliang is really inferior to humans and animals. Not only did he commit what happened back then, he bought several mines in Liangzhou in the past few years. In order to open the mines, many workers were beaten to death. Death, these... these others don't know about, and there are more, as long as you go to investigate, you will be able to find out, Ninth Miss, can you speak for Qingniang?"
Qin Wan listened calmly, and asked, "Where is the Chang family? Could the downfall of the Chang family be related to Pang Fuliang?"
When she asked such a question, a bit of resentment immediately appeared on Chang's face, and she smiled bitterly, "Chang's...Chang's... Pang Fuliang has become what he is today, and at least half of it borrowed from Chang's power. He is a devil at all. I don't want my wife's natal family to be too bleak for my own face, so he can do even more ruthless and ruthless!"
Chang raised her hand to touch her tears, "I have been enduring it for so many years, I have been enduring it, and finally this day has come."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips pursed slightly, "If it is said that the deaths of Qingyun and Liu Renli had nothing to do with Madam, but the death of Pang Yiwen's Madam could not be excused. play?"
There was no fear in Chang's eyes, but he looked back at Yan Chi who was in the yard with some fear.
"Ninth girl, you have seen Yun'er too. My Yun'er has become like that. As a mother, I can't wait to let Pang Yiwen die a hundred times in front of me. It's really cheap for her to die like that..."
Qin Wan looked into Chang's eyes and was speechless for a moment, but Chang thought she still didn't understand, "Jiu girl, you don't understand now, you will understand when you have a child, Jiu girl said just now, Goodness follows the law, evil goes against the law, I am a person of the law, and the reason in my heart is that if you do something wrong, you will be punished, and death for doing something that is worse than humans and animals is still light."
The more Chang talked, the more she cried, but the bottom of her eyes was full of resentment, and her tone was loud and unafraid. Qin Wan looked at her quietly, even though there was a stir in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. Remembering her father's teachings, but at this moment, her heart is full of powerlessness, she can't speak righteous words, there is no absolute fairness in the world, even the laws of the Great Zhou are only when meeting a good official It only plays a little role, not to mention that the law seems a little lighter in the face of the hatred of extinction.
"I agree with what Madam said, but the morals of the world always need order. If everyone is lynched because of hatred, the world will be out of order. Madam has endured for so many years to avenge her hatred, but what about those who suffer more than Madam? Qi Qing Mother was taken away by the government office, and Madam, if you really want to talk about it, it is also a crime of conspiracy. If the government wants to pursue you, what will the third young master and eldest lady do... "
"I'm not afraid." The hatred in Chang's eyes dissipated by two points, and suddenly a pious look appeared, "I'm not afraid, these things have to be done by someone. Qingniang has done a lot for us, and I can't repay it. If the government really wants to pursue it, I will never regret it. I can even think about it as justice and fairness in the judgment of the law, but I can't think about committing myself to a beast forever and letting my daughter live in hell forever. , Miss Jiu, I have tried to be virtuous and courteous, and to be nice to everyone in this house, but nothing has changed, good people can't make evil people change their minds with all their good intentions, so I also became a bad person."
Qin Wan sighed, "Ma'am—"
"Ninth girl must not understand." Chang's face had a bitter smile, "I know that in this world, evil should be punished and good should be punished. I will not teach these words to Jiayan and Yun'er, but I am not a child. , These words of teaching everyone to be kind are useless to me, I only know what I am going through, and I have to fight to the death."
Qin Wan had something choked in her throat, and Chang's words made her feel bitter and desolate.
"Ma'am... how do you plan to tell the third young master about Master Pang's death?"
Anyway, Pang Jiayan is indeed Pang Fuliang's biological son, and I see that Pang Fuliang loves Pang Jiayan a lot on weekdays. Although Pang Jiayan is young and mature, he is still a child after all, and he has feelings for his father in his heart. How to explain all this to him? As for Pang Jiayan, Qin Wan always felt a little weird.
When Chang heard Qin Wan's words, she smiled, her smile was bleak, and there was a bit of revenge, "The relationship between father and son is the great relationship in the world. I will never let Jiayan do such a thing as killing a father, but Nine Girls know What if you let a son hate a father to the bone?"
Qin Wan looked at Mrs. Chang, who suddenly smiled bitterly, "That is... let a father beat his mother in every possible way in front of the son until the mother was dying, and then tell the son that you are disobedient." This is your humble mother." Chang sneered again and again, "Pang Fuliang can't be called a human being at all, he doesn't understand how husband and wife should be, he doesn't even understand how father and son get along, he just wants to control everything in the world, But he's nothing but trash!"
Qin Wan suddenly felt a chill down her spine. After Chang had said so much, she was really at a loss for words when she came to this point. The relatives are destined by the gods and cannot be chosen. No one knows whether the person who gave birth to you is evil or good, and the blood relationship of relatives is always The most intimate and inseparable relationship in the world. Qin Wan has seen so many cases in the past. No matter how vicious the murderers are, they either love their children very much or respect their parents. Killing father and son, cold-blooded to the extreme.
Chang smiled, she raised her hand and wiped it away, "Ninth Miss knows everything, if Ninth Miss wants to, just a word from you, Prefect Wang will definitely come and get me, Ninth Miss don't worry, I've already arranged for Jia Yan He Yun'er, although the Chang family is down and out, there are still one or two people, we don't want a single cent of the Pang family property, just treat it as a nightmare for so many years."
After Chang's finished speaking, she straightened her back and exhaled, "It's a lot better to say it."
Qin Wan seemed to have something stuck in his chest. She looked at Chang, and Chang also looked at her. Their eyes met. Qin Wan's eyes were heavy, but Chang seemed to express all the black evil thoughts in his heart. At this moment Look very clear.
After a long time, Qin Wan said, "Since the case is clear, how to investigate and how to investigate is the business of Wang Zhifu. I can only do an autopsy with my medical skills." Shi Dao, "Madam thinks the truth is right. If they do something wrong, they should be beaten and punished. The eldest lady and the third young master are still young, Madam should not give them a chance to be punished and beaten."
The color of Chang's eyes changed slightly, but Qin Wan turned around and walked out.
Chang stared at Qin Wan's back for a few moments, and suddenly took two steps forward, "I know what Miss Nine means, I won't."
Qin Wan didn't stop in his footsteps, and walked straight to Yan Chi. Yan Chi took a look at Qin Wan's serious expression, turned around and walked out side by side with her. Qin Yan and Qin Shuang were still waiting outside, seeing Qin Wan not saying a word. When it came out, Qin Yan and Qin Shuang looked at each other, and Qin Yan said, "Let's go back first, and please let your Highness know when we have a conclusion on this case."
Yan Chi nodded, and Qin Yan took Qin Shuang to leave. As soon as they left, Yan Chi pointed to another path, "This way."
This place is very close to their yard. Ruo Yanchi was about to send Qin Wan back, and he was there in a few steps. He pointed to another way, apparently wanting to talk to Qin Wan. Qin Wan obediently walked over, followed by Fu Ling and Bai Ying. They all fell far away.
"What Chang's words made you hesitate?" Yan Chi said suddenly, and now Qin Wan seemed to be shrouded in a gray-black haze in his eyes, and her whole body seemed to be weighed down by some heavy burden for a moment, and she was very nervous. Depressed.
Qin Wan slowed down, and shook his head after a while, "Lynching revenge must be wrong."
Yan Chi continued to look at Qin Wan, he knew that Qin Wan must not have finished speaking, and sure enough, Qin Wan continued, "But, if... If there is really no other way, what should we do?"
As soon as the words fell, the two happened to be walking in a dark place. Yan Chi moved his hand and took Qin Wan's hand. Looking from a distance, she felt that the two of them were walking close to each other. .
"If you read too much of Shen Yi's writings, you will definitely feel that everything in the world should follow the etiquette and laws. The laws of the Great Zhou summed up the goodness of the previous dynasty. It can be said to be very complete. In your heart, you first think that following the laws is the right thing for yourself. Everyone is good."
Qin Wan lowered her eyes, "But sometimes, it's really unfair."
Yan Chi turned his eyes and looked at Qin Wan for a moment, "Most of Shen Yi's writings are for government officials, or for scholars who like punishment and prison. They are universal enlightenment, but he didn't say in the book However, if he himself encounters a difficult situation, what will he do, if he violates the law, he will live, and if he does not violate the law, he will die, how should he choose."
Qin Wan paused and turned to look at Yan Chi. After Yan Chi said this, she really remembered all the things in the past.
My father came from a humble background. Although he encountered many injustices in his official career, in the end, his father came over diligently, and finally took a high position and became a person who can control the fate of others. If Chang's suffering is like this, My father has never been trained, and he can't tell a person's choice when he is in a difficult place. If his father really came to the place Yan Chi said, how would he choose
"What the maid said is right, the law is just a tool." Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan brightly, "The law you see may be more just and just than the previous court, but after all, many of them The terms and conditions are all for the safety of the rule, and those who made the law first considered the Great Zhou, and then the people, and if they follow the law, the biggest beneficiary is the person sitting in that seat."
Speaking of which, Yan Chi pressed Qin Wan's palm, "This is the first, and the second is about life and death, so what is the law?"
Qin Wan stopped and looked at Yan Chi, "If it was His Highness, how would His Highness choose?"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curved slightly, "I don't like to follow the rules set by others. If I set it myself, I can set an example. In this world, the important weapon of the country can be reduced to private use. If so, this The most important weapon of the country is not worth mentioning."
Qin Wan's complexion became much brighter, but she still tilted her head and said, "Your Highness agrees with them. This is to teach people to be evil, and it is not good after all."
Yan Chi smiled, "So I'm only telling you this, Shen Yi's essays are good, universal essays shouldn't cause chaos, but his methods can only deal with ordinary villains...the great villains are unreasonable, If you meet someone who is unreasonable, you have to be even more unreasonable than him."
