Chapter 532: plead guilty

Chapter 532 Plead guilty

On the third day after Zhou Xiangrong was arrested, Xiao Jin asked the criminal department to complete the trial of the entire case with the fastest speed and procedures, and convicted Zhou Xiangrong and Xiao Shihang.

Three days later, the city gate beheaded.

It is more intentional for people to spread among the people and explain the whole story of the academy.

The matter in the academy was aroused, and almost all the people in the streets and alleys were talking about it.

Although Xiao Jin had asked people to explain the cause of the academy incident, many people still believed that this incident was caused by Su Ying.

"If you want me to say, if it wasn't for the Queen's insistence on running a girls' academy, would such a thing happen?"

"That's right, girls from a good family have been harmed like this. How can those girls' families live in the future?"

"Hey, why can't you live? If you can't live in the right way, then take a detour. Isn't going to the building to pick up customers a way to survive?"

The people present were all ordinary people. Anyone who stuttered at home, who would let his daughter do such a lowly job, would automatically ignore the discordant voice and stop answering the conversation.

The people sent by Xiao Jin heard the people's comments and recorded them one by one and fed them back to the palace.

Imperial Palace, inside the Royal Study Room.

Xiao Jin frowned as he watched the news reported by the spies.

Even if Su Ying did not do the thing, the voice of scolding her is not small.

These people seem to have forgotten how they praised Su Ying and thanked her when they learned that Su Ying was blocking the dam.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the mother of a country, and her reputation is very important. If this matter is irreversible, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty in the future." For this matter, Duke Jing, who was still recuperating at home, specially ran into the palace, thinking Hear what Xiao Jin thought of to deal with it.

"Don't worry, Aiqing, I have already made plans for the queen, and no one can slander the queen!"

Duke Jingguo felt relieved when he heard Xiao Jin say that. He didn't ask Xiao Jin about his specific plans. He should have known long ago that the emperor is not stupid. He is really old, and he likes to worry more and more.

"The old minister will leave first."

"Duke Yasukuni's complexion looks much better."

Hearing that, Lord Jing felt that his legs and feet became stronger. A few days ago, Su Ying went to the Duke's mansion specially, saying that he wanted to teach him a way to regulate his breath.

He was skeptical, so he followed Su Ying to learn some simple superficial skills. The juniors in his house just stared at him and asked him to practice. At the beginning, he was a little confused, but after a long time, he found that his shortness of breath was obvious. Much better.

I have to admit that the Queen has something.

"It's all thanks to the empress, if the empress is not worried about the old minister's health, the old minister would not be able to recover so quickly."

Xiao Jin nodded, "The empress is a great talent, it is my Chu country's fortune to know."

Mr. Jingguo quickly raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jin. He had never seen someone praise his wife so much.

"The emperor said so."

…

On the day Zhou Xiangrong and the others were beheaded, the streets and alleys of the capital were full of people before dawn.

The Criminal Ministry convicted Xiao Shihang of being an accomplice of Zhou Xiangrong.

Zhou Xiangrong was sitting in the prison car, watching the eyes of the surrounding people have changed from initial madness to numbness.

Xiao Shihang is indeed full of unwillingness, if only he had known that he was the prince earlier...if it had been earlier!

"Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill these two brutes."

"That's right, kill them!"

The people took out rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at them.

The parents of the students glared at Zhou Xiangrong angrily, looking at Zhou Xiangrong who was weak and weak, they didn't expect to be so vicious.

Zhou Xiangrong watched the angry people with a blank face and slowly closed their eyes.

The officials at the execution ground looked at the sun, took out the command arrow and threw it on the ground, "It's time for execution."

The executioner took a sip of spirits and sprayed it on the long sword. He raised the sword and dropped it. A dark light flashed in the sky, and two hot heads rolled to the ground.

Officials came forward and used broken sacks to collect the bodies of the two people and took them to the random graves to throw away.

Many onlookers were terrified.

At this time, Su Ying, who was dressed in a wind robe, came out from the crowd. She stepped on the blood-stained execution ground, and her eyes swept over the faces of the people one by one.

"It's the queen, it's the empress, the empress is also here."

I don't know who shouted, and everyone knelt down towards Su Ying.

"See the queen, see the empress."

The people fell to their knees.

Su Ying stood up slowly, but lifted her skirt and knelt down on one knee towards the people.

This scene surprised everyone present.

"Bring the wattle." As soon as Su Ying opened his mouth, Zhou Qing sent a long wattle to Su Ying with a tense face.

Everyone was surprised to see the thorn in Su Ying's hand, not understanding what she wanted to do.

"The original intention of Bengong to establish the girls' academy was to hope that more daughters from poor families could earn a good future for themselves, but because of Bengong's ineffective supervision, some irreparable tragedies were caused. dereliction of duty."

Su Ying paused and continued: "Today, I will apologize to the victimized women in front of everyone."

The sonorous and forceful words shocked everyone present.

The majestic mother of a country actually blamed the poor? Throughout the history of Chu State for many years, it has never happened before.

"I will also make mistakes. What I did today, I want to tell everyone that even if the emperor makes mistakes, he is also guilty of the same crime as the common people. If you have any grievances in the future, you can go to Jingzhaoyin's mansion. If no one accepts it, I will tell everyone The emperor is the first one not to spare him!"

These words made those who were caught in the crowd and wanted to take the opportunity to abuse Su Ying speechless.

Su Ying did this, and it was impossible for them to make a big fuss about it.

The relatives of the murdered women couldn't help but get red eyes when they saw Su Ying's straight back.

The capital is huge, but the place that can accommodate them is very small. Even if their children have experienced such a terrible thing, they are already prepared for the possibility of being suppressed. It is impossible to imagine that the majestic mother of a country will let They took thorns to make them vent their hatred.

"Your Majesty, it's not your fault, you'd better get up quickly." Some people couldn't help but their voices were choked up.

"Yes, ma'am, it's not your fault."

Xiao Jin, who was standing in the dark, retreated to the officers and soldiers standing in front of the common people.

There was a little girl who boldly stepped forward and held Su Ying's hand.

Su Ying slowly raised her eyes and met the little girl's big clear eyes, "Madam, I like to go to the academy, I like to listen to the gentlemen's stories, and I also like the food in the academy, it's delicious, in the future, I can go there again ?"

Su Ying held her hand back, "Yes, as long as you want to go, the girls' academy will always be open for you!"
