HCB Chapter 615: Murdering His Own Son
Chapter 615: Murdering His Own Son
Seeing Yan Renzheng's embarrassed look, King Qiang felt as if his heart had sunk into an icy cave. His face turned pale and he had to support himself on the table beside him with one hand to steady himself.
"Thank you, Lord Yan. I will repay you handsomely in the future."
"Your Highness, you are too kind. The Second Young Master passed the imperial examination and entered the government two years ago, which was a great honor for our family. I also understand how important the Second Young Master is to Your Highness. However, Your Highness also knows that His Majesty has issued an order. Today, I can only allow Your Highness to bring the doctor to treat the Second Young Master. You cannot take him with you."
Let me say this first to prevent the King of Qiang from causing trouble later.
Standing at the emperor's feet, Yan Renzheng felt that the Qiang King would not dare to do so, but he was not completely sure.
Although the Qiang King's Mansion has fallen into decline, the Qiang King's achievements are still there. He is caught between the Qiang King and His Majesty. If this matter is not handled carefully, he will be the next one to suffer.
The King of Qiang heard this but did not respond, pretending that he had not heard anything. Yan Renzheng saw his thoughts and turned his head to the servant who had been following him all the way and instructed:
"Go to the prison first and tell everyone to get ready. A distinguished guest is coming."
"Distinguished guest" is a jargon used in the Ministry of Justice's prison. It generally refers to two types of people: one is a noble who has violated the criminal law, and the other is a noble like the King of Qiang who comes to visit his family.
But no matter which one it is, once you arrive at the prison of the Ministry of Justice, it is all the same. You have to be polite and speak carefully to the jailer. After all, the water in this prison is muddy and deep. Even if you bribe with money, there is no guarantee that you will not be punished.
"Yes, little one, let's do it right now."
The King of Qiang wanted to play dumb, and Yan Renzheng was too lazy to expose him. No one had been able to snatch people from the Ministry of Justice's prison, so there was no need to compete with the King of Qiang for this momentary pride.
When they arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison, if it was another noble, Yan Renzheng would have reminded him that the King of Qiang had seen all kinds of bloody scenes on the battlefield and was more knowledgeable than him. Thinking of this, he stopped talking.
"Down below is the Ministry of Justice's prison, Your Highness, please."
The King of Qiang walked in front, with the jailer leading the way. The servant who was sent by Yan Renzheng to give advance notice was standing in the prison and unknowingly returned to Yan Renzheng's side.
"The Second Young Master is at the innermost part, Your Majesty, please come in."
The King of Qiang had never been to the Ministry of Justice prison before. Perhaps he had not been to the battlefield for a long time and had become accustomed to the stable and peaceful life in the capital. Suddenly, he smelled the familiar smell of blood, and the memories of those years on the battlefield came back to him. The broken limbs of the people he had chopped off appeared before his eyes again.
He didn't dare to think anymore, quickened his pace, and hurried into the prison.
Yan Renzheng followed behind the Qiang King at a leisurely pace. Looking at his back, one could tell he was already old. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, one could still see that he was stumbling a little due to his anxiety.
"It's just ahead. I won't go over there. Your Highness, please take the doctor with you."
Yan Renzheng was standing at the corner, only separated by a wall from the innermost cell, and spoke to the back of the Qiang King.
The King of Qiang was originally thinking about his son, but upon hearing this, he put aside his anxious heart and turned around to thank Yan Renzheng:
"Thank you, Master Yan."
Yan Renzheng just smiled slightly and said nothing more. Only after the Qiang King disappeared from his sight did the smile on his face turn cold.
The servant brought a chair and placed it behind the master. Yan Ren was sitting in the prison filled with the smell of blood and cries of begging for mercy, waiting quietly.
Soon, the sound of the King of Qiang calling out in pain was heard from inside. He had not seen the body when the Second Young Master Liang was brought in, but since His Majesty had personally injured him, it would never really take his life. He just didn't know how serious the injury was.
"grown ups."
Hearing the voice of the servant behind him, Yan Renzheng didn't even turn his head, but reached out to take the thing handed to him.
The above is the record made by Doctor Qiu after he examined the body of Mr. Liang Er. Doctor Qiu is the imperial physician on duty from the Imperial Medical Bureau. However, in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, for convenience and to prevent the people inside from knowing the true identities of the imperial physicians, the imperial physicians who come here have to wear masks when they enter the Ministry of Justice. They will only have one name, that is, Doctor Qiu.
This time, Doctor Qiu is good at hand-drawing diagrams of the human body structure. One drawing can clearly show how serious the injuries in different parts of the body are. This is unique in the Imperial Hospital.
Yan Ren was looking at the blueprints and didn't hear any sound from inside for a long time. He was puzzled and was about to get up and walk inside when he heard the low sobbing and wailing of the second young master Liang.
Hearing the sound, Yan Renzheng sat back in his chair. At this time, the system that was watching the video on the panel jumped up anxiously.
"Holy crap, that old man, the Qiang King, is murdering his own son."
When Liang Chongyue heard the sound, he paused and ink dripped onto the imperial edict he had just written.
Before she could even take a look at the ink-stained imperial edict, the system had already opened the panel and placed it in front of Liang Chongyue. On the panel, King Qiang was standing in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and he stepped hard on the wound she had caused on Liang Er today.
Ignoring Liang Er's painful struggle and helpless tears, the Qiang King at this moment did not seem like a father, but more like a soldier who had gone blood-thirsty on the battlefield.
Treating his son as an enemy, Liang Chongyue guessed what this old man wanted to do at a glance. He was going to sacrifice pawns to save the chariot.
Although Liang Er is the most promising child in the Qiang Palace, he is not important compared to the reputation and future of the entire Qiang Palace.
Thinking of this, Liang Chongyue's heart fluctuated a little, but compared to the system that was jumping up and down, he was extremely calm.
"Let him die. The dead have their uses."
Liang Chongyue turned the panel to Yan Renzheng. Yan Renzheng was a smart man. Compared with the incompetent means of King Qiang, she was more curious about how Yan Renzheng would break the deadlock when such a thing happened in the Ministry of Justice.
After lifting the panel and pushing it away, Liang Chongyue began to deal with the imperial edict that had just been dripped with ink. Fortunately, only two drops were passed on, which was not serious. Liang Chongyue looked at it for a while, picked up the imperial edict that was almost finished, walked to the candle holder, lit it, and threw it into the firebox. He watched the imperial edict burn out with his own eyes before returning to the dragon throne.
He took out a new imperial edict from the drawer under the dragon desk, made some minor modifications according to the new law he had just written, and rewrote it.
"Host, are you really not going to care? Are you really going to crush them to death? Then those ignorant people will be like fence-sitters, swayed by the wind."
The system looked at Liang Er, whose face was as pale as a ghost, on the panel. It was surprised at the cruelty of the Qiang King, but at the same time it was worried that if Liang Er really died, it would definitely damage the host's wisdom.
