Chapter 107 All Out
Chapter 107 All Out
Old Master Chen laughed and said, "Okay, okay, it's a good saying. I am for everyone, and everyone is for me. Then let me ask you again, if you ask Chen Junhe to find me and I refuse, what will you do? Or if I report you, what will you do?"
Yingge said, "That's not easy. We can just die together. After all, the incident happened in your garden. Junhe and I are both witnesses. I will always find a way to hold you back from the water."
When Old Master Chen heard this, he was so angry that he said, "I thought you were a gentleman, but you turned out to be so shameless."
Yingge said, "Grandpa, if you think I am righteous, you probably wouldn't choose me." He must have guessed this possibility, so he made the choice to prevent it from happening.
"Humph, boy, you are still too naive. Why do you think the court would know that Lu Gongqing killed someone and wanted to cover it up?"
"He has done so many wrong things over the years and is still intact. You have to know that in this world, nothing is impenetrable. If no one covered up what he did, he would not be alive today. But once someone knows about it, it will be exposed after all."
Even if Old Master Chen was as hard-hearted as a rock, he still felt very uncomfortable about this matter. "So many girls died. They were all born and raised by their parents. How could this happen..."
"So this is evil, but there is an even greater evil above this evil, it's just that it's been covered up by people. So isn't this matter worth doing? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
Old Master Chen kept coughing because of her words, which woke up the people resting in the hall. They looked up and fell asleep again.
Old Master Chen said, "I don't care whether you are an upright person or not. That's not why I came here tonight. But you are still a good person. After all, you didn't intend to abandon Jun He. In fact, at that time, abandoning him was the best choice for you, but you didn't."
"Because he went to Yi Garden because of me that day, so since I took him there, I naturally have to take him away when I leave. This is what a gentleman does, and I am a gentleman."
She was about to speak, but Old Master Chen raised his hand to stop her, "There are many gentlemen here, but you are not one of them. You should know that everything today was caused by you. They are all here today because of you."
"If I tell anyone about this, no one will believe it. Even Liao Chengyi probably won't know until his death who forced him into this state."
Yingge argued, "Old Master, you really think too highly of me. This was not done by me. I can only say that he has done too much and must be punished."
"Speaking of this, I still have to thank you for your help, old man. Please accept my greetings." After Yingge finished speaking, he bowed to Old Master Chen.
Old Master Chen smiled and said, "As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. This is also a special case for our Chen family in Mo City." Suddenly he lowered his voice and said, "Tell me the truth, did you see who killed Lu Gongqing? Tell me, a gentleman does not lie."
Sorry, she is not a gentleman, she is a real woman.
"I really didn't see it, old man."
Even though Liao Chengyi's eyesight was not very good, he could tell clearly that the carriage he was sitting in was not the one he usually sat in. The carriages he usually sat in were large and comfortable, but this one was obviously a prison carriage. He couldn't believe it.
"You're lying! The court would never judge a case like this, and the Empress Dowager would never treat me like this." Liao Chengyi shouted loudly. He stepped back unsurely, but the Beijing soldiers always followed orders and immediately grabbed his arm.
These Beijing soldiers were obeying his orders one moment, and then reaching out to grab him the next. It was very dramatic.
"Sir Liao, look here is the handwritten order. It is indeed the result of the court's discussion. Here is also the imperial edict from His Majesty." The person who came to execute the handwritten order was a rigid civil servant. Seeing that Liao Chengyi did not believe it, he even shook his hands so that he could see it more clearly.
Liao Chengyi tried hard to see clearly, but when he saw the back, he shouted, "That's not the case. This must be done by Prime Minister Ji. I knew he had disliked me for a long time. I want to find Lord Xie, where is Hu Gongye, and where is the Empress Dowager? I want to see the Empress Dowager."
The official lost his patience and put away the document in his hand, saying, "Don't worry, you will see him when you go back."
"Someone, take it away!"
"You can't catch me, you can't catch me, then what about Zhang Zhe, why don't you catch him?"
Zhang Zhe stood alone by the side, silent. When he heard him shout, he said, "Lord Liao is a lord. I am just a minor official waiting to be sent. I have done everything according to Lord Liao's orders. There is no reason to arrest me."
"This is unfair, I don't accept it!"
The sun was shining brightly, and the tightly closed door of Yi Garden opened with a click. No less than a hundred young men poured out. Each of them looked dishevelled, but in good spirits. It was their expressions of disbelief that betrayed their mood at the moment.
"Are you really going to let us out?"
"Is it really coming out?"
They asked each other questions and confirmed each other.
The palace soldiers and officials nearby replied, "Yes, yes, go back quickly, go home quickly."
The young people cheered, some ran away, while others stood still.
"What about Liao Chengyi? What about the other prisoners? What about those women?" he asked three questions in a row.
"Where are my classmates, Su Qinghe, and Zhu Nian?"
These young people are still thinking about their classmates at this time?
An official replied, "People from the Ministry of Justice have been sent to Beijing and have already started trying the prisoners. The guilty ones will be tried and the innocent ones will be released. As for Liao Chengyi..."
The official didn't say anything, but just looked at the prison van not far away. The boys followed his gaze and looked there together. An unknown boy suddenly cheered, and suddenly a deafening roar rang out at the door.
The other people present couldn't help but cover their ears. The instructors didn't scold them as they did in the past, but just watched them make a fuss with a smile on their faces.
"Go home quickly, your family is worried about you." They urged again.
One of the boys walked over and shouted, "No, I stink. I need to take a shower."
Taking a bath. After being locked up for so long, he really needed a bath, but what kind of bath and where to take it at this time? The young man shouted again and ran to the lake not far away. With a splash, he jumped into the lake.
Everyone was shocked and was about to call for help when they saw the student following behind them also yelling, "I want one too, I want one too." He also jumped into the lake like the boy before. "Let's go take a bath, let's go!"
A group of students rushed into the lake, untied their clothes and threw them aside. In an instant, the lake was filled with naked young men running around.
Yingge stood aside and stared in amazement. This, this, should she watch it or not? This was a question.
But then she felt someone pushing her from behind, who could it be?
"San San Lang, why don't you go down?"
"Let's go, together."
As for this, it’s better to just admire theirs and forget about your own. She quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, I can’t swim.”
The man laughed, "Look how deep the water is in the lake. It's okay. We are here. Let's go. What are you afraid of?"
Yingge had no choice but to decline politely, “Well, look, I’m still injured.” Then she pointed to her shoulders and the crutch she was leaning on.
He was injured, so he really couldn't go. The man had no choice but to tear off his robe, swing his arms and go into the water crying.
Yingge finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was a close call, but they all went down, so did Fu Zijing go down as well? He couldn't help but look around, and sure enough, he saw Fu Zijing slowly walking into the lake, and he was about to take off all his clothes. Yingge couldn't help but want to whistle like a gangster.
Fu Zijing seemed to have noticed something, turned around and smiled at Yingge, then looked away.
Outside Yi Garden, the elders from each family who had heard the news and were waiting on the sidelines gathered together with their servants. Some came specifically to welcome their family members, and many came to watch the fun. After waiting for a long time, no one came out. They were surprised to hear that everyone had jumped into the lake to take a bath.
A group of men with disheveled hair taking a shower all laughed.
"Young people should be like this." If it weren't for their status, they would all want to jump in and take a shower.
While scolding them for being unruly, the parents ordered the servants to prepare clothes quickly. Suddenly, the entrance was as lively as a street market. Among the crowd, a young boy with a cane walked out.
As soon as she came out, she was immediately seen by Xue. She just shouted Yingzi and was about to rush forward, but there was someone faster than her. Liu Ziheng and Yufeng were about to pounce on her at the same time, but a woman appeared halfway and blocked them.
"Yingge!" the two women shouted at the same time.
As a result, Yingge was caught off guard and was embraced by one of the women, who was Yutang. The woman hugged Yingge's neck with both hands, with a shy look on her face and pretty eyes. It was Yutang.
Liu Abao, who was pushed away, said angrily, "Yingge, who do you say she is?"
The situation made everyone laugh. Is there anyone else like that? Throwing oneself into someone's arms like that is always enviable.
"Master Yingge, I knew you would be fine." Yutang said with a smile, and then hugged Yingge tightly again. He had to let go before Liu Abao came, and then leaned over and said in Yingge's ear, "If you want Chunyilou, I won't charge you any money." After saying that, he turned his waist, covered his mouth and ran away.
The action was so fast that Yingge didn't react. Before she was released, Liu Aibao came up and grabbed the collars one by one. Liu Ziheng and Yufeng could only try to stop the fight, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the woman who was favored by Yingge at that time, Yingzi is not in good health, let him go quickly."
Liu Aibao came over and said, "It's still dark, I've been waiting for you here, I think I have deep feelings for you."
Yingge thanked her again before sending her away. She glanced at Chen Junhe and Liu Ziheng and said, "Thank you for your hard work, both of you!"
It was really hard. When they were caught, no one knew what would happen in the future. Those who were not caught outside were even more frightened and uneasy. Liu Ziheng's eyes were red, but Chen Junhe's expression was better.
The people watching the fun started to make a noise, "The young lady of this mansion has come in person to pick someone up. The wedding banquet is not far away." When Xue heard this, she wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Liu Wenru. "What are you doing? I'm going to pick someone up." Xue asked in confusion.
"Look, her classmates are all out."
Companions, thinking back to when they first came here, they were very cautious and were often looked down upon. They had to avoid everyone they met, and Yingge would always hold the corner of her clothes when she met someone. But now... her companions.
There was a commotion inside the door, and a group of disheveled and untidy teenagers rushed out. Yingge turned around and walked towards them. They greeted Yingge. From a distance, they saw Yingge saying something to them. The teenagers all nodded and began to tidy up their clothes and hair.
What was going on? The family members who were about to greet them stopped and the onlookers also became curious.
The young men tied up their hair and robes. One of them walked to the front, threw his robe and said, "Thank you, parents. We are children who have caused you to worry." The young men all bowed down. The people in front of them took a step back in fear. So that's how it is. Some of the angry parents had complicated expressions, but some of them already had red eyes.
Su Qingyu also stood up and said, "Second bow to the officer, I will certainly give you advice and suggestions."
The officials of all ranks in Mo City had complicated expressions, but they couldn't help but feel sad and troubled when they thought about the incident caused by this group of students.
Su Qingyu stood up again and said, "I bow three times to thank my neighbors for being with me through this difficult time."
This caused the people around to discuss, "Does the 'neighbors' refer to us? Does the 'comrades' mean that we are with them?"
Mr. Lin said, "What a great comrade, he is indeed a good man from the Guanzhong area of our Qin."
Since many people did not understand what this meant, Liu Xiucai explained it again to the people around him. After that, the people finally understood what it meant. It seemed that everyone was truly in the same boat.
"Who says I have no clothes? I share my robe with you. When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spear. I share the same hatred with you. Who says I have no clothes? I share the same coat with you..."
Yingge said something to Su Qingyu again, and Su Qingyu was obviously somewhat resistant, but she finally compromised. If he knew that he had to use the voice he had used to learn opera singing at this time, he would really regret it.
He could only raise his voice again, "Your Majesty is wise and enlightened. Long live the emperor." The young men, who had followed him several times before, were accustomed to his tone and unconsciously said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise and enlightened. Long live the emperor."
After hearing these words, the officials who originally looked unhappy also smiled.
"This matter is of no small importance and will be thoroughly investigated." An official currently in charge said solemnly.
Liang Jingtian and Shang Zichun were both there. They bowed their heads in agreement when they heard what was said. Liao Chengyi was arrested and the students were released. However, this matter could not be left unresolved. As if the officials who came were worried that the longer the night went, the more trouble they would have. The Ministry of Justice acted quickly this time and interrogated the prisoners overnight. Three days later, Zhu Nian, Su Qinghe and others were released. When everyone heard the news, they gathered at the gate of Yiyuan again.
Su Qinghe dragged out Zhu Nian, who had not seen the sun for a long time. Although he had been taught many times by Su Qinghe, the scene in front of him still made him extremely excited.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you." He could only express his feelings at the moment by constantly saying thank you.
The onlookers sighed and said that it is better to study, as classmates can help each other when studying, which is a more important relationship than family. Zhu Nian would be worse off if he did not study. Who would know that he is a poor boy and who would stand up for him?
Ignoring the other students, Su Qinghe walked to Yingge who was not far away. Yingge looked at him without saying anything.
Su Qinghe turned in front of him and said, "Look, it's intact, not a hair is hurt."
Yingge sniffed hard in front of him and said, "No, it's smelly, ugly, and dirty." Then he looked at it carefully again, as if to confirm that it was true.
Su Qinghe said, "We are the same. You just entered a few days later than me and came out a few days earlier."
The two smiled at each other and stopped talking.
