Chapter 135 Yin and Yang
Chapter 135 Yin and Yang
But Yuan Fang didn't feel embarrassed.
After a long time, he said dejectedly: "The prince guessed it right."
At the beginning, he and Ji Cheng did not reach an agreement.
Ji Cheng refused to spit out what he had put into his mouth.
Moreover, after this incident, he discovered that Yuan Fang knew that he had accepted bribes.
A person who is upright, knows his own weaknesses and is well-known locally is a dangerous mine for Ji Cheng. He must either get rid of him or keep him for his own use.
Just as Ji Cheng was about to attack Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang uttered the words that would ruin his life: "I am willing to serve the Marquis's Mansion like a dog or horse!"
He gave Ji Cheng the only eight hundred taels of silver he had as a token of his loyalty to the Marquis's mansion, and also as evidence of bribery that he had put on Ji Cheng.
In this way, Yuan was put into the Ji family.
After entering the Marquis' Mansion, Ji Cheng, whether out of desperation or for some other reason, did not shy away from it and even specifically asked him to be in charge of registering the silver sent by other officials.
Let him find a way to convert the money from the Marquis' Mansion into gold and send it to this villa without anyone noticing, and bury it underground.
Jiang Xing looked at Yuan Fang's ethereal figure. "So, from that moment on, your plan was to get evidence against Ji Cheng? You put yourself in the game, hoping to bring him down?!"
Yuan Fang did not deny it: "At first, I thought that the capital was under the emperor's feet, and the Ji family would not dare to act too recklessly. There must be someone who could subdue them. I just need to collect evidence..."
At this point, his soul suddenly gathered black energy again, and his emotions collapsed uncontrollably.
Gusts of cold wind blew, making the lanterns in the Ji family villa not far away make a whistling sound.
This was the first time Lu Xuan saw such a strong black aura of resentment coming from him, and he quickly chanted a spell to suppress it.
Jiang Xing suddenly thought of something at this moment, and he seemed to understand it in his heart.
Lu Xuan saw the pity in his eyes.
But even so, he still wanted to ask the answers himself.
Jiang Xing frowned: "How did you die?"
Yuan Fang: "I wanted to kill Ji Cheng, but was poisoned by the man next to him named Jiezi."
Jiang Xing nodded and continued to ask, "You have such a calm temperament, why are you so reckless?"
"Because..." Yuan Fang looked at Old Man Yuan, the words stuck in his throat and he dared not speak.
Because as soon as he opened his mouth, the old man's deeper regret and pain were revealed.
Jiang Xing felt a lump in his chest, and his mood was as sad as the night, with even a trace of moisture in his eyes.
There were some things he couldn't bear to say, and he suddenly took two steps back dejectedly.
This caused Lu Xuan to look at him in confusion.
Jiang Xing pushed back the heat in his eyes, as if he had made a huge decision: "Because you knew you passed the imperial examination, but Ji Cheng ordered people to disqualify you from the examination, right?"
At this point, he had to break through his silence and make everything public.
"This was originally a way out you left for yourself. You thought that with your talent, you would eventually make it to the palace examination. As long as you got the silver back to redeem Sun Xiaoyue and preserve the evidence, even if you were temporarily trapped in the Ji family, you would eventually break free! And you could clear the obstacles for scholars all over the world and bring down the Ji family, right?"
boom!
This news caused great pain in the hearts of everyone present.
The genius fell into the dust, but he was such a kind person!
Yuan Fang couldn't help crying, his sobbing voice was so shrill and piercing that the people present felt extremely uncomfortable and covered their ears.
His soul seemed unable to bear such pain and despair, and began to show signs of falling apart.
Lu Xuan quickly activated a soul-fixing talisman to stabilize his soul that was about to destroy itself.
Lu Xuan actually understood Yuan Fang at this time.
Because at that time, he realized that everything was delusion and that the way of heaven was unfair.
All the expectations and yearnings of a lifetime are just nothing.
So he decided to kill Ji Cheng and put the evidence in a tree hole, intending to kill him.
But unexpectedly, he was killed by mustard seeds.
Everyone present felt like a huge stone was pressing down on their hearts.
I feel powerless, sad and regretful.
After a long time, Jiang Xing was heard to say faintly, "I believe you, and I also believe Uncle Yuan."
Yuan Fang and Old Man Yuan's faces immediately lit up, but Jiang Xing's face dimmed, and even his figure revealed a sense of helplessness and desolation.
He stood alone with his hands behind his back, looking up, trying hard to see the moon in the sky through the fog.
But where does the moon come from in such a dark night?
Just as the world is unfair, there is no justice in this world.
Seeing that Jiang Xing had no further questions, Lu Xuan said, "Now that the truth is clear, we need witnesses. It's useless for us to find Sun Zhang; he definitely won't testify for us. What about Sun Xiaoyue?"
Old Man Yuan nodded sadly and let out a breath weakly.
Lu Xuan's eyes and heart trembled slightly. In his previous life, the incident with Mr. Yuan had never happened.
Because at this time, Jiang Xing had already been unable to wake up. It could be said that he was almost hanging on to his last breath, half dead.
She told her that the ten corpses in Ji's villa were sent to the mass grave, and that the ghosts from the mass grave haunted her every day. Moreover, she had never seen Yuan Fang's ghost.
Seeing no one answer, Yuan Fang took over: "Xiaoyue is almost in the capital!"
Several pairs of eyes in front of him suddenly looked at him, and Yuan Fang felt a little uncomfortable: "I met my father here that day, and then I followed him back to Huangzhou..."
Later, when Yuan Fang saw that Old Man Yuan was going to Beijing, he sent a dream to Xiaoyue, asking her to help Old Man Yuan.
Even if things don't work out, there will be someone to take care of you!
Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "Sun Xiaoyue is willing to believe what you said in the dream?"
Yuan Fang scratched his head and said, "Of course I didn't believe it, so I asked a few more times..."
Lu Xuan understood.
What do you mean by asking for help a few more times? It just means pestering someone day and night.
Old Man Yuan frowned: "But I didn't see Miss Sun along the way!"
Lu Xuan asked, "Then do you know where Sun Xiaoyue is?"
Yuan Fang nodded. "The day my father was taken away by Prince Jin's men, I pestered her all day. The next day, she went looking for my father, but couldn't find him. So she left on the third day. She should have reached Baoding Prefecture by now!"
Originally, as the leader of Xuanmen, Lu Xuan could not allow ghosts to haunt people in the mortal world.
But at this time, there were reasons for the situation, so she could only make an exception.
But now that she has intervened today, she can't let him continue to stay in this world.
She looked at Yuan Fang and said, "Since that's the case, you've already taken on the sins of sin. Sun Xiaoyue, we will go find you. You have a cup of tea to say goodbye to Old Man Yuan. After that, I will send you into the reincarnation cycle. Otherwise, if you enter it again in the future, you will suffer untold hardships in your next life."
When he heard that he was going to enter reincarnation, Mr. Yuan trembled.
Yuan Fang moved even faster and had already knelt down in front of Lu Xuan.
"Master, please don't let me go!"
"I have only one wish in this world: to watch Ji Cheng die! Let me see his final end. I want to see, under the bright heavens, whether we, after a lifetime of painstaking research, can surpass those powerful people!"
Yuan Fang roared loudly, tears of blood flowing from his eyes.
Every word was like nails hammered down by a heavy hammer, piercing the hearts of everyone present, and the pain drilled straight into the deepest part of their hearts.
When Mr. Yuan saw his son like this, his throat rolled a few times and he knelt down in front of Lu Xuan with a plop.
"Princess, please help me and my son this time. He died unjustly. Grant him one wish. Let him see the end of the evildoers before leaving..."
Although Mr. Yuan was thin, his hands were very strong. The hand that grasped Lu Xuan's clothes was like a dry vine, but it was full of strength from the inside out.
Lu Xuan looked at the father and son.
A feeling of pity crossed my heart.
After a while, she finally nodded: "How about this, I'll keep you for a while, and when the case is over, I'll send you on your way!"
There is already the soul of Concubine Yun stored in the jade bracelet in the palace, and now there is another one, Yuan Fang.
The burden on me is getting heavier and heavier!
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master..."
Hearing Lu Xuan's agreement, Yuan Fang immediately kowtowed to her three times.
Because Lu Xuan was not wearing any jade jewelry, Jiang Xing took off his own jade pendant and handed it to her.
She pinched her fingers and chanted a spell, and Yuan Fang's soul suddenly turned into a wisp of gray smoke and entered the jade pendant.
Upon learning that Sun Xiaoyue was heading towards the capital, Jiang Xing immediately ordered Xuan Ge, "Take a team to meet Miss Sun and bring her back to the palace before dawn!"
Xuan Ge was about to run out, but Lu Xuan stopped him: "Wait!"
