Chapter 582 Escape
Tang Yichen and Song Ruize looked at each other.
Both of them hurried to the Jingzhao government office.
When the prefect of Jingzhao heard that the two gentlemen had arrived, he hurried over to greet them.
"My Lords, I am fortunate that nothing happened. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would explain this to you two."
If something happened to Tang Dafu in his territory, he would have offended two unfathomable rising stars at once, and he could just wash his neck and wait for death.
"From now on, you can follow the normal procedures," Song Ruize said. "Just try the case thoroughly. If there's not enough evidence, I can send a few people to help you collect it."
"Is it because of what happened at the court this morning?" The Jingzhao prefect understood.
The emperor needs Song Ruize's money and doesn't dare to offend her at this time, so there will be no problems in Tang Dafu's case.
Let's not talk about Tang Dafu not being the criminal in this case. Even if he is, his criminal record must be erased under such circumstances to make him innocent. Just because the emperor needs Song Ruize as a money bag, he will never offend him again at this time, so this matter will only be a big deal and a small matter will be resolved.
The gossip outside has been spreading like wildfire. It is time to directly try Tang Dafu's case thoroughly. There is evidence, witnesses and physical evidence. Several doctors can be arranged to perform an autopsy on the spot. As long as no one comes forward to make trouble, it will not be difficult to try this case thoroughly.
After receiving Song Ruize's approval, the prefect of Jingzhao immediately began to try the case.
The evidence in this case has been clear for a long time. As long as the case is tried on the spot and the real criminal is arrested, Tang Dafu can be released.
With the witness of the people, Tang Dafu's murder case was reopened.
This time is different from the last time. This time he goes straight to the point. The prefect of Jingzhao wants to cut the Gordian knot and give Tang Dafu justice.
Tang Dafu has become a model for women in the capital to choose their husbands. For his wife, he, who never argued with anyone, actually attacked someone. This is a testament to his courage and his true love for Li Taohua. And then there's Li Taohua: she's endured so much hardship, yet she's still able to raise her children so well and maintain such deep affection for her husband. Currently, the opinions of Li Taohua in the capital are more positive than negative.
Li Taohua stood outside the court, watching the trial process nervously.
The woman next to her comforted her, "Madam, don't be nervous. Even if your husband really hurt someone, it was to protect you."
"Yes, your husband is so protective of his wife, which shows that he is a real man. The greatest blessing for us women in this life is to marry a man who loves us so much. Madam, you are very lucky to have a man who loves you so deeply."
Jiang Yunzhou was riding in a carriage passing by the yamen. Seeing so many people gathered there, his face turned ugly.
"Sir, Tang Dafu should be released this time."
Of course Jiang Yunzhou knew.
A coward like Tang Dafu would never dare to kill anyone. It was already very courageous of him to beat someone up.
This had been his plan from the beginning. Everything had been going smoothly, but he'd luckily managed to avoid the assassination attempt. Furthermore, with the border in turmoil and the Wuxiang Alliance rapidly expanding, the Emperor was too preoccupied with dealing with these treacherous officials to pay much attention to the lesser figures.
Jiang Yunzhou hesitated, thinking about how Song Ruize had been the one to siege the Wuxiang League the last time. And how it hadn't been long since the Wuxiang League had returned, with ten times the force of the previous one. It was clear they were incredibly formidable. Even though he hated Song Ruize, he had to acknowledge his abilities.
However, this hesitation only lasted for a few breaths.
If he didn't find a way to achieve merit, he would forever be a dog by the new emperor's side. He could be a dog, but even if he had to be a dog, he wanted to be the most vicious and evil one, not only biting but also eating people. Therefore, he wanted to destroy the Wuxiang League, achieve this great merit, and have the emperor promote him to a higher position.
"Let him live a few more days as a country boy who is not worthy of being on the stage. When I destroy the Wuxiang League and achieve this great feat, the emperor will surely reward me. As long as I rise quickly enough, dealing with Song Ruize and the Tang family will be a snap of the fingers. Therefore, power is more important to me now."
"Your Excellency is right. As long as you are promoted, Song Ruize and Tang Yichen will have to pay their respects to you and act according to your mood."
In the face of absolute power, all other abilities are in vain. He wants power, he wants to climb higher than Tang Yichen and Song Ruize.
Isn't Song Ruize very awesome? If one day he stole his woman and let him watch his woman enjoying herself under him, that would definitely be very exciting.
Jiang Yunzhou became more and more eager to make a contribution.
He sent people to inquire about the Wuxiang League.
However, not many people knew about the Wuxiang League, let alone were close to them. However, they did reveal a piece of information: the Wuxiang League was located in the suburbs ten days away from here, and there were many mechanisms there, the mysteries of which were completely inaccessible to ordinary people.
"I remember there is a master of mechanisms in our Mingfasi. Please invite him over." Jiang Yunzhou said to his men.
"Yes."
Tang Dafu was released without any danger. However, although he was not the one who was at fault in the case, it was a fact that he had assaulted someone and injured him, so he had to pay the other party 100 taels of silver.
Li Taohua paid the silver and apologized to the blind old lady.
"You did nothing wrong, why do you have to apologize?" Tang Dafu said, "Her son insulted you. We have no grudges against each other. He said such humiliating words to you, and now he deserves this result."
"Alright..." Li Taohua said, "It's over now. Let's not talk about it anymore. Go give me a mugwort bath to get rid of the bad luck."
Li Taohua pulled him out of the government office, touched his cheek and said, "You've become so thin. When we get back, I'll make you some soup myself and help you recover as soon as possible."
Tang Dafu was trying to remain calm, but when he heard what Li Taohua said, his eyes immediately turned red.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Taohua asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Or did they bully you or torture you?"
Tang Dafu hugged Li Taohua and choked up, "I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I bet you haven't had a good night's sleep these days!"
Li Taohua has always been in good spirits, going to bed early and getting up early, and her skin is also in great condition. But today, there is a dark blue patch under her eyelid.
"You are suffering for me, and your life or death is unknown. If I don't worry about you, wouldn't that be heartless?" Li Taohua said.
"Everything I did was because I wanted to do it. You are my wife, and if I don't protect you, how can I still be considered a man? I don't regret doing such an impulsive thing at all."
