Zhao Quanzhi laughed heartily.
With a heart ready to die.
With a malevolent and twisted face, he looked at Li Shiyan and said, "Why don't you die? You deserve to die! You keep saying that you treat me like a brother, but in fact, you treat me like a dog! A dog that you can order around! "
The word "dog" was almost snarled out of his mouth.
He roared out the hatred and unwillingness that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years.
If it was before, he definitely wouldn't dare do this! Li Shiyan's face was filled with disappointment and sadness. He looked at the unfamiliar Zhao Quanzhi standing in front of him. At this moment, he couldn't see the slightest bit of past friendship on his face, only hatred. This made Li Shiyan deeply understand that the so-called friendship was nothing more than a wisp of smoke.
In fact, everyone wore a mask and pretended to have another face in front of power and status. In Yan Jing City, everyone was like this. In front of people, they all had two faces.
Thinking about it, this made one's heart turn cold!
"Zhao Quanzhi, you're not my dog! I've never treated you as a dog. You're my, Li Shiyan's, brother for life! "
"Pei!" Zhao Quanzhi sneered, "At a time like this, can't you say something from the bottom of your heart? Just let me die with clarity and a happy death. "
"Every word I say is the truth!"
"So you think I'll believe you?"
Li Shiyan was helpless, "It seems that whatever I say is useless. Since you wholeheartedly believe this, then just pretend that I'm blind."
"Hehe! I'm the one who's blind. " Zhao Quanzhi fiercely said. Up until now, he still didn't believe that Li Shiyan's feelings for him were true. The hatred in his heart hadn't lessened in the slightest.
If he could, he would personally stuff the wine brewed with osmanthus into his mouth and watch him die with his own eyes. He had been suppressing this dissatisfaction and resentment for many years, and he had also been putting on an act for many years. Every time he heard someone call him a dog, he would always tell himself that he had to endure it, believing that Li Shiyan at least had a little bit of so-called friendship towards him.
However, when he found out that Li Shiyan wanted to marry Zhu Yao, he couldn't endure it anymore!
He couldn't continue to endure it like an obedient dog.
Li Shiyan looked at his face filled with anger and his heart finally turned cold. He only said one sentence, "Have a safe journey!"
Heh!
Zhao Quanzhi had a look of disdain.
Seeing this scene, Minister Wang suddenly became anxious and loudly said to Huang Dali, "Lord Huang, now that he has admitted to killing people, why don't you quickly escort him to the Supreme Court's prison? Do you want to give him a chance to escape?"
Huang Dali wanted to show that he was upright, plainspoken, and rigorous in handling the case, so he quickly ordered, "Take him away."
When the two elite soldiers escorted Zhao Quanzhi away, when they passed by Zhu Yao, he forced himself to stop.
He stared fixedly at the woman he had been longing for for several years.
Zhu Yao stared at him with an apologetic and shocked look in her eyes. Zhao Quanzhi smiled bitterly and said to her, "Actually, what Wang Huai said previously was right. Li Shiyan won't love you at all. He only has himself in his heart. Miss Zhu, someone like him isn't worthy of your love. If you were to be with him, it would be equivalent to being a widow.
Widow, the marriage between your two families is nothing more than using each other. The Marquis of Kangding wants to borrow your Zhu family's position in the Imperial Court to protect that good-for-nothing son of his. You're just a sacrifice! "
Zhu Yao was stunned, her body extremely shaken.
She wasn't stupid. How could she not know?
However, she loved Li Shiyan to the bone. Even so, she was still willing to love him like a fool. Even if she was wounded to the point of being riddled with a thousand holes, as if she had fallen into a ten thousand li sea of fire, she didn't care. Just as her eyes reddened and she was about to say something, the Marquis of Kangding said agitatedly, "Zhao Quanzhi, don't talk nonsense here. A person who's about to die wants to sow discord between my Li family and the Zhu family before he leaves. He's simply despicable.
A person like you will only be a scourge if you remain in this world. I don't know how Governor Jiang Guang raised a son like you. "
Every word was like a silver needle stabbing into him.
When he said these words, Minister Zhu's face turned green, and he secretly clenched his fists tightly.
On the other hand, Zhao Quanzhi couldn't help but laugh. He looked coldly at the Marquis of Kangding with a mocking gaze.
I'm just giving you a look. Feel it for yourself!
To avoid the confrontation that was about to happen, Huang Dali immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Take him away."
The two elite soldiers obeyed the order and took him away.
However, Zhao Quanzhi's laughter still resounded in everyone's ears.
It made everyone fall silent for a moment!
Perhaps they still hadn't recovered from this accident.
Until the surrounding people started to discuss — —
"Man proposes, but God disposes! A perfectly fine person became a murderer out of nowhere, and he's still so extreme. "
"He deserves it. He reaped what he sowed. He was the one who wanted to kill someone, so he has to bear this crime himself."
"Do you think there's still room for negotiation?"
"Room? You must be joking. Zhao Quanzhi killed someone. No matter how capable his father is, he's only a Governor of Jiang Guang. How can he influence the Marquis of Kangding and Minister Wang? "
"In that case, Zhao Quanzhi will definitely die."
"That's for sure!"
…
Everyone was talking at once, and the sounds of discussion rose everywhere. The case was finally solved, and Ning 'an Villa finally regained its former tranquility. Official Li told the people in the hall to quickly pack up and return to Yan Jing City. Everyone couldn't be bothered to stay here any longer. What if something else happened?
Wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain? Moreover, they couldn't wait to return to Yan Jing City to tell others about what happened here. What a bunch of gossip …
After those people left one by one, Luo Yang quietly walked to Huang Dali's side and said with a smug expression, "Lord Huang, I must have played a part in successfully solving this case, right? So … "
He made up his mind!
Huang Dali understood what this fellow meant and told him, "Don't worry, this official will reward you when the case is closed."
"That's more like it. At least these few days weren't wasted."
Little fellow!
The Wen brothers walked over and cupped their hands at the crowd. They said to Lord Li, "Lord Li, since the matter has been resolved, we'll return first. We've disturbed you for the past two days. Take good care of your health."
Lord Li nodded. "General Wen, take care. I won't send you off then."
"Stay." Wen Che looked at his uncle, Wen Cong. "Uncle, come back with us. Miss Ji is still counting on you."
Wen Cong was a man of his word and naturally wouldn't go back on it. He bid farewell to the crowd and left.
Luo Yang also left with them. Before he left, he didn't forget to remind Huang Dali where he was staying in Yan Jing City. If there was a reward, he could find him at the address. Huang Dali repeatedly agreed and Luo Yang felt relieved.
Su Ziluo listened to Wen Che's words. What did he mean by 'Miss Ji is still counting on you'? Could it be that Shu 'er isn't feeling well? A trace of worry flashed between his brows.
After a while, he also took his leave.
When most of the people had left, Li Shiyan couldn't bear to leave. He turned to Huang Dali and asked, "Lord Huang, what will happen to Zhao Quanzhi?"
"According to the law, he will be executed."
"Is there no other way?"
"This …"
Minister Wang interjected angrily, "Heir, although you are now innocent and can be absolved of your crimes, a life for a life. Zhao Quanzhi killed my nephew, so he must pay for it with his life. He must die! No one can beg for it. "
Li Shiyan didn't refute because he understood. But …
He continued to plead with Huang Dali. "Then, Lord Huang, can you do me a favor and allow Lord Zhao to see his son one last time?" The Governor of Jiangguang still didn't know that his son had killed someone. This was a serious crime. Once he was imprisoned in the Supreme Court's prison, he wouldn't be able to see anyone. However, the Governor only had one son, so he should at least see him one last time. Moreover, Lord Zhao was also a loyal official.
He had worked tirelessly for the court for many years. Presumably, the Emperor would grant his request. Moreover, Huang Dali and Lord Zhao were friends, so whether it was for official or private reasons, Huang Dali still agreed.
"Don't worry, Heir. I will arrange it!"
Minister Wang was still angry and said to Li Shiyan, "You are still thinking about Zhao Quanzhi at this time? When he wrongly accused you and wanted to poison you, why didn't he think about you?"
