Chapter 470: Redressing the Injustice for Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion

A path was immediately made among the crowd.

Everyone saw a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and tattered official robes rushing through the crowd like a wild bull with wind in its hair, running on the bluestone road of Linlang Street.

His face was pale, as if he had been extremely frightened.

"Who is this? He is wearing an official robe, and he looks like he is of high rank."

"Where is he going? Is he heading towards the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion? Let's follow him and see!"

Curiosity drove people to follow this madman.

Everyone followed him, and saw this madman in official robes stumbling all the way to the former site of the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion.

Then the madman knelt down in front of the gate of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion with a thud, and began to kowtow to the gate continuously, muttering to himself: "Marquis, Prince, I was wrong, I shouldn't have slandered Marquis Zhaoping's mansion as a demon star, I was also instructed by someone!"

"If I don't do this, that person will kill my whole family!"

Liu Xi was taken by Su Rui to the most gloomy cemetery outside Beijing and locked up for ten days. In addition, he was tortured with all kinds of modern technology and had almost gone crazy. At this time, he kept confessing his crimes in front of Marquis Zhaoping.

"Please forgive me, I don't want to go to hell!"

"It was Yao Chengping who threatened me!"

This madman kept repeating these few words over and over again. He kowtowed and shed tears of repentance, and his forehead had already become a bloody mess.

The snowflakes falling from the sky landed on his broken forehead, turned into blood and flowed down, making his face look even more hideous!

The crowd who were watching heard clearly what the madman was muttering over and over again, and their faces were horrified!

"Slandering the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion as a demon star? Who is this person?"

"Yao Chengping? Isn't this the Tiger General currently stationed in the northwest? Is this the Marquis of Zhaoping Mansion that he falsely accused?"

A well-informed commoner in the crowd speculated: "Looking at the official robes he's wearing and listening to what he's saying, could it be that he's Liu Xi, the director of the Imperial Observatory who gave advice to the emperor back then?"

Someone who didn't know the situation asked hurriedly, "What's going on with the demon star? What did Liu Xi say?"

Soon, some older people told those who were unaware of the incident what had happened.

Three years ago, it was the twentieth year of Qingning.

Emperor Qingning, who had always been in good health, fell seriously ill without any warning. The Imperial Hospital tried its best to treat him but there was no improvement.

Not long after, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory suggested that there was an evil star suppressing the Purple Star. If the evil star was not killed, the emperor's illness would not improve.

Emperor Qingning, who was lying on his sickbed, immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and it turned out that something had happened in Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion.

The imperial guards seized witchcraft items and a privately made imperial seal from the mansion of Marquis Zhaoping.

Emperor Qingning was furious, but the previous emperor had ordered that those who had made great contributions to suppressing rebellions and guarding the borders should not be killed, so he ordered the exile of Marquis Zhaoping and his family to Haizhou.

After Marquis Zhaoping and his family were exiled, Emperor Qingning's illness also recovered.

At this time, someone excitedly pointed out: "This man is Liu Xi, the former director of the Imperial Observatory. There is no doubt about it! I used to be a waiter in the best teahouse in the capital. Liu Xi often came to drink tea and even touched my hand. He is an old pervert!"

"Later I heard that he resigned due to illness! I didn't expect he was crazy! Now it seems that he must have done something wrong, and he must have something wrong in his heart to go crazy!"

Knowing that this madman was Liu Xi from the Imperial Observatory, it caused a huge uproar!

"Liu Xi slandered the Marquis back then, so the story of the Marquis and the Crown Prince plotting treason is probably also slander!"

"It must be that Yao Chengping wanted to replace the Xin family father and son, so he slandered and framed me. My two cousins ​​worked as cooks in Zhaoping Marquis's mansion. At that time, Zhaoping Marquis treated Yao Chengping very well..."

"Yes, how could it be such a coincidence that it snowed in June? God must have opened his eyes!"

"The Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion is full of loyal people who have devoted their lives to protecting the people of Dasheng, but they ended up dying unjustly in a foreign land. What a pity!"

"Back then, Zhao Pinghou and his family repelled foreign enemies to protect us. They were the protectors of Dasheng. Now that they have suffered such injustice, we the people should redress their grievances!"

"Correct!"

"Yes! To redress the injustice for the Marquis of Zhaoping's mansion!"

In the midst of the endless snow, the voices calling for justice for the Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion were heard by hundreds!

At this time, Liu Xi, who was still kowtowing in front of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion, fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Zhang Yuan led the detectives back from Linlang Street and saw the situation in front of Zhaoping Marquis's mansion. He led his men into the crowd and asked, "What's going on? Who beat this guy?"

The angry people who wanted to redress the grievances of Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion saw Zhang Yuan passing by, and it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Sir Zhang, you are the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, and you are well-known for your fairness and justice. Please represent us in redressing the injustice of the Marquis of Zhaoping Mansion!"

Zhang Yuan looked a little confused: "Wait a minute, don't get excited. What happened there?"

So someone told Zhang Yuan about Liu Xi's confession of his crimes in front of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion.

Zhang Yuan's face became serious after hearing this: "Is this really true?"

Everyone nodded: "So many of us heard and saw it, how could it be false? Lord Zhang, please plead for us, all of us can testify!"

I don't know who took the lead and bowed to Zhang Yuan: "Master Zhang, please redress the injustice for the Marquis Zhaoping's mansion!"

Everyone followed suit and knelt down.

"Fellow villagers, you must not do this! It is my duty to judge the case impartially!"

Zhang Yuan groaned and said, "Since so many people have testified, let's take Liu Xi back to the Dali Temple first! Protect him as a key figure."

Carrying everyone's expectations, Zhang Yuan and the detectives took Liu Xi away.

As soon as he left, Xia Su, the commander of the military division in charge of the capital's security, arrived late.

Today He Lin suddenly had something important to discuss with him in secret, which was about the fourth prince born to his sister Concubine Rou. He did not dare to delay and found a secluded place to talk to He Lin.

Ever since He Lin sent the shelled Amomum villosum to help Concubine Rou to protect her pregnancy, he has also used his connections throughout Lingnan to help the Xia family a lot. He has been regarded as a loyal and reliable ally by the Xia family. Xia Su and Concubine Rou both plan to help the He family more after the Fourth Prince is made the Crown Prince and inherits the throne in the future.

This secret talk was also about the Fourth Prince's health. The Imperial Hospital Director Qi said that the Fourth Prince's body resistance was much weaker than that of ordinary people, and he needed to purchase five kinds of medicinal herbs from overseas. He Lin found these five kinds of medicinal herbs today and gave them to Xia Su.

This matter concerns the future of their Xia family and cannot be taken lightly, so Xia Su wasted a lot of time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the secret meeting place, his subordinates hurriedly informed him that something happened in Linlang Street.

"The military is on the move, all outsiders please leave Linlang Street immediately!"

Xia Su rode his tall horse in the snow and galloped all the way to the front of Zhaoping Marquis's mansion. He took a look at the bloodstains on the ground and asked, "Where is that nonsense Liu Xiren?!"

——"Master Xia, Liu Xi has been taken to the Dali Temple by Master Zhang!"

Xia Su's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. It's bad!
