"Haha, you kid really looks down on people!" Gong Shouli said with a smile, "No matter how worthless I am, Gong Shouli, I would never sacrifice my woman's life in exchange for my own. That's no better than a pig or a dog. ?"
"You old Gong, you better think about it." Xiao Chen said, "This is your last chance. You know I always keep my word, and Ling'er and the others are here. They said they want to save you, and they will definitely do their best. And for that!”
"What the hell are you thinking about?" Gong Shouli said, "I'm such a coward. How can I still have the dignity to live if I can't even protect my own woman?"
"I really don't see that your old Gong still has any conscience." Xiao Chen said, "If that's the case, then you should die together with Lu Zhu."
"You just talk a lot of nonsense." Gong Shouli said, reaching out to help Luzhu wipe away the tears on her face, "Remember, we will recognize them all when we get to the Jinyi Guards or the Criminal Department later, otherwise we will be afraid of that. I know how to use torture to help you, so it’s not worth the pain of eating your skin and flesh for nothing.”
"Well, I understand." Luzhu said, "If they beat me, I will cut off my meridians and I will never be insulted by them. But what should you do? You have offended so many people, and they want to beat you?" "
"I'm still afraid of this?" Gong Shouli said, "Don't talk about beating me, even if you put me through all their tortures, it would just be a joke. The one who snorted is not your man!"
"I know you are a man, you did it when you were a eunuch." Luzhu stretched out her little hand and gently touched Gong Shouli's face, with infinite admiration and attachment in her eyes.
"Brother." Ling'er's eyes turned a little red when he looked at them, "Please save them, I'm begging you, or else let's just send them both to Yanyun County."
"You can't send them out." Xiao Chen said, "Now the city gates are all tightly sealed. All the elite guards, imperial guards, and police officers from the Ministry of Justice are out. It's no joke. Old Gong and Lu Zhu were also suspected. On the list...so if you want to save their lives, the only way is to surrender."
"Brother, they will die if they surrender." Ling'er said.
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Surrendering to the Jinyi Guards Criminal Department will definitely lead to death, but if you surrender to the emperor, it may not be possible." Xiao Chen said.
"Go and surrender to the emperor?" Gong Shouli grinned, "It would be easier to go to the Jinyi Guards of the Criminal Department."
I really don’t have the face to see the emperor.
"Take the green beads and the head to see the emperor." Xiao Chen said, "Remember, only you two know about this matter, and none of us know about it! This is very important, you must never say anything You leaked it! Old Gong, just say that you found the head when you went home and found out that it was Lu Zhu who did it..."
"Also, you are not going to see the emperor to beg for mercy, but to plead guilty... You should be able to say this without me teaching you, and you must go with the intention of dying, and you cannot leave anything for yourself. No leeway!" Xiao Chen said to Yun Yi, "Yun Yi, do you still have any reassuring pills? Give them one each.?"
"Yes." Ouyang Yunyi took out two reassuring pills and handed them to Gong Shouli.
"This is the Ouyang family's reassuring pill. Once you take it, you will fake death. You two should hold it in your mouth before going in to see the emperor. When you feel that the heat is almost ready, swallow it... Remember to tell the emperor before you go. Just take the poison first." Xiao Chen said.
"Such an emperor can spare our lives?" Gong Shouli felt that he might be choked.
"The emperor is reasonable and cares about old feelings. Although Luzhu's crime is unforgivable, he is excusable." Xiao Chen said, "Coupled with your loyalty to the emperor, I guess he is embarrassed to kill you... ...Even if he kills you, he will still feel guilty in his heart, and he will definitely take good care of the little tiger head in the future, so that we can adopt him without any future troubles."
"Putting aside the natural and human feelings, the emperor, considering the overall situation, should not announce this matter to the public. After all, you have been with the emperor for so many years, but your wife is the murderer of Wang Anbang. If this kind of thing spreads, the emperor There is no luster on my face. Since I won’t announce it, why should I kill you?”
"I never thought that one day you would save me!" The more Gong Shouli listened, the more he felt that Xiao Chen's words made sense. He suddenly felt enlightened and felt that he had survived a desperate situation.
"I do it for Ling'er and the others' sake, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to mind your business. Wouldn't it be nice to watch your jokes?" Xiao Chen said, "Without further delay, we will withdraw first, and you two and a half I’ll go see the Emperor again in an hour or an hour, and I can tell you if you have any last words or inheritance..."
The big guys leave for now, leaving the couple with what may be their last time together in this life, because after all, the matter is serious and the power of God is unpredictable. It is still unclear whether the emperor will really spare their lives.
Xiao Chen first went home and took a look at the little tiger head. Seeing that he was fine, he rushed back to Jinyiwei and continued to discuss solving the case with the others...
Everyone was frowning and concentrating. They didn't know that Xiao Chen had already solved the case after being out for such a short time.
But they said that Gong Shouli and Luzhu came into the palace with Wang Anbang's head and went straight to Li Wanjiang's Qinzheng Palace.
Li Wanjiang was very surprised when he heard that Luzhu was coming. What did you, old Gong, do?
You've been with me for so long and you don't even understand the rules. Not to mention that I will never meet the family members of my ministers. Even if I do, it will be the wife of the royal family. Why did you bring a concubine to see me?
Fortunately, you came to see me first. If you went to see the Queen first, wouldn't it be a joke!
You can't just say that she gave you a son and you doted on her like this...
Oh, maybe Gong Shouli wants to straighten this Luzhu upright, and wants to come to me to ask for a royal title, right?
But there is no need to let her come to see me. Tell me, can I still deny your permission?
But I was still honored to be called in. Seeing Lu Zhusheng's beauty, I still thought that Shouli had good eyesight and was very handsome...
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves death." Gong Shouli knelt on the ground, crying and his voice hoarse.
"What trouble did your boy bring to me again?" Li Wanjiang frowned, "Or did you, Mrs. Ru, cause anything?"
"Your Majesty," Gong Shouli said, opening the package at his feet, holding Wang Anbang's head in his hands and raising it above his head, "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
"Oh, whose head is this?" Li Wanjiang was shocked.
"Reply to the emperor, it's the enemy of the people, Wang Anbang's head!" Luzhu said crisply.
"Oh... ah?" Li Wanjiang had just stood up. Hearing this, he sat down on the dragon chair again in shock.
"Your Majesty, this servant just came home and saw Luzhu..." Gong Shouli told the whole story.
"Your Majesty, everything my husband said is true. He has no knowledge of what the civilian daughter did. It was the civilian daughter who sneaked into Wang Anbang's mansion in the early hours of this morning... The civilian daughter had to take risks to avenge her family's blood feud. But she was afraid of harming her husband, so she didn't dare to abscond..." Luzhu repeated the story again.
