Chapter 743: Responsibility

Such a horrifying thing happened before my eyes... Everyone felt that they must be having a nightmare.

"Master, who has that courage?"

This is a good question, who has such courage? In fact, almost everyone has an answer in their hearts. But why? Why...

Although Xiao Ying knew that under the rule of imperial power, human life was like a mustard, it was really sensational to hurt thousands of lives so easily. Although she didn't like Emperor Geng, the main reason was that Feng Geng treated Feng Ge unfairly. As for his actions in politics, Xiao Ying didn't think he was too stupid. At most, he relied on Xie Xiang and could only flatter him. It was not a fatal problem. After all, many emperors in history would do this. But if these people really died under Emperor Geng's orders, then she would really have to "look at him differently" against Feng Geng, who was lacking in politics and disciplined by his son.

"Does Xie Jixin have such courage? Thousands of people..." Miao Qian asked and answered.

Jia Jun wanted to speak out for comfort, but found that everything he said was pale. Now that things have come to this point, nothing he said can't change. He can only, only... he actually doesn't know what he can do.

Should we thoroughly investigate this matter?

The old case of Emperor Geng’s twenty years... These words are too heavy.

Even if the truth is revealed, it may end up in the end. Jia Jun didn't even dare to think about how turmoil would the court be if the news was revealed?

Feng Ge first ascended the throne, but he had not yet established a firm foothold.

If such a shocking case occurs again... "Master, the old case of Emperor Geng for twenty years... Why not let it continue to be a mystery. My subordinates know that this is unfair to the people, but what should I do if the truth is really found out and shake the country's roots? Lou Xiang, I know that you are always incompatible with Xie Jixin. Xie Jixin will definitely die, but in this case, can Lou Xiang not ask the bottom of the matter?" Jia Jun knew that he was outspoken. But someone must say this.

Feng Ge and Xiao Ying are indescribable.

It is not convenient to say that Feng Yi and others have the identity of guarding.

Only their confidants who followed Xiao Ying early could speak like this.

Jia Jun looked at Nie Xuan. Since entering Beijing, Nie Xuan has become more and more low-key. Apart from doing what Xiao Ying told him, he almost never left the house.

But Jia Jun knew Nie Xuan's ability. If he wanted to be the king and the prime minister, it was possible. At this time, Jia Jun hoped that Nie Xuan could speak, and Nie Xuan's words were more effective than those of him and Mr. Miao.

Whether in front of Feng Ge or Xiao Ying, Nie Xuan was even more powerful. Nie Xuan seemed to let out a light breath, and in the expectant gaze of Jia Jun and others, he finally spoke coldly. "The truth needs to be investigated... but it cannot be made public." Jia Jun almost didn't mention it in one breath, but fortunately Nie Xuan asked for a make-up again after the second sentence.

Nie Xuan said to Lou Boyun.

Lou Boyun felt bitter.

He thought, if he had known... he would have been the result before he knew it would have been like this, maybe he would not have mentioned the old case of Emperor Geng in the palace. Although he could have exaggerated his anger, if he had kept the world stable and ignored it... he became a hero of the Lou family, but a sinner of the world.

He clearly distinguished the importance of the matter. Since the corpses were washed up on the river bank, he knew that this case was destined to be a unsolved case. The mystery of the disappearance of the people of Tongguan was destined to be sealed in the long scroll of history.

He just felt very heavy. He wanted to know what happened. In the end, thousands of people died.

"Young Master Nie said it well. This matter should not be made public at the moment. Ke Chen wants to know what happened back then...?"

"That's natural, I want to know too." Once Feng Ge calls himself me, he does not speak as Feng Ge, but as the new emperor. He looks at Xiao Ying and Xiao Ying nods. "I can probably guess a little bit, but if I want to find out the final truth of the matter, I still have to go back to Beijing."

Such a big deal...

It's not something that a few people can do. If the matter was really done by Xie Jixin, he would have called a lot of people back then.

He couldn't silence everyone, so their investigation was in the wrong direction.

There must be someone, and there must be someone in the court involved in this matter. Xiao Ying did not believe at all that Xie Jixin dared to commit such a great evil based on the secret decree of Emperor Geng.

Even if Emperor Geng secretly instructed him, with Xie Jixin's temperament, he would rather choose to escape secretly than kill him. They only saw hundreds of corpses and felt that their souls were broken. What was the tragic situation in the world when these people were pushed into the river?

That's not something that anybody can bear.

Therefore, Xie Jixin has accomplices.

In other words, Emperor Geng did not believe Xie Jixin as he showed.

"I said that since things have happened, there will be clues left. Those who participated in the past cannot be silenced all of them. If everyone was silenced, it would be even more difficult to cover up the matter. On the contrary, those who participated must be promised high officials and generous salaries to ensure that they keep their mouths in a bottle. The evidence we are looking for is not these unjust souls buried at the bottom of Tongjiang, but those who participated in the matter back then."

Xiao Ying's words made everyone feel bright.

Yes. Such a large formation naturally cannot be done by Xie Xiang alone. Someone must have directed people to do it together with Xie Xiang.

And I'm afraid there will be no shortage of people using it.

"Bai Yun. You are responsible for checking the defenders here back then. As long as you are still alive, you must send people to ask each one. If you find suspicious people, you will immediately take them back to the capital."

Lou Boyun said in a deep voice.

"A Xuan, you have good kung fu, go to the world to explore the bottom. Is there any people in the world involved? I'm afraid those soldiers will refuse to submit to this kind of thing. I think there is another force to take the lead... I know that some people can do anything as long as they pay enough money. After doing it, they can keep their mouths tight. I think it's cheaper to find them." Nie Xuan looked at Feng Ge deeply. Since the two of them took action by Xiao Ying, Feng Ge has never called him A Xuan again.

They are actually good brothers.

He admired Xiao Ying, envy, and admired him. In fact, it was very complicated, not just a simple relationship between men and women.

After Xiao Ying and Feng Ge got married, they moved into the palace. In fact, he didn't think of Xiao Ying very often, but instead thought of the naughty Princess Yue more... Of course, Nie Xuan would never say these words to others.

He actually cherished Feng Ge, his friend. So this voice made Nie Xuan almost tremble.

"Yes." He responded in a deep voice.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone rushed back to Tongguan City.

Then, without waiting for a break, the escorts who explored the road came to report that the water level of Tongjiang continued to rise, and it was obvious that the dam broke. If they continued to stay in the city, they might encounter danger.

So the team went out of the city without stopping and rushed to the high ground that the guards found early in the morning.

After a chaotic resettlement, an explosion was heard in the distance.

The Tongjiang River broke through the dam. The flood roared in an unstoppable momentum and rushed into Tongguan City.

But after half a moment of shock, the once lively town was completely submerged in the flood.

"These people can finally rest in peace. So Tongguan City was swallowed by Tongjiang. Sometimes I don't want to believe this, but I found that only this explanation can make sense. Tongguan City has been built for more than a hundred years, and Tongjiang has suffered several floods, but none of them can completely flood Tongguan City. But today Tongguan City sank into Tongjiang in front of us. Even if the river water recedes, Tongguan City will be soaked in the water. When they are mixed with these corpses, they may never be separated again."

Xiao Ying said softly, accompanied by the sound of rain, her voice seemed ethereal, and she felt that reality and dream overlap.

Everyone listened silently.

Yes. Since then, there has been no Tongguan City in the world.

The dike did not flood early or late, but it broke down when they arrived.

The corpse was not washed out long ago, and it was not washed out late, but it was washed out when they went to investigate.

No one can tell whether there is a decisive decree in the dark. "They can finally go home." Young Master Miao sighed.

Miao Qian's words have always been off topic. This sentence sounds even more scary, but no one stops it. Yes, they can finally go home. Hopefully, their souls rest in peace...

After waiting for three days, the flood slowly retreated. When I looked at Tongguan City again, most of it was flooded by mud and sand.

Just as Xiao Ying said, these corpses and houses will never be separated again.

Perhaps this is the significance of the Tongguan dam breaking...

Tongguan is located in a remote place, so even if the Tongjiang River is flooded, it will not cause any losses.

They just trapped them and the group. The guards were well prepared and built a pot to make rice every day. Except for the hard to find the dry firewood and the rice was a bit mixed, everything was quite calm.

Xiao Ying and Feng Ge hugged in the tent and carefully sorted out the case. Both of them believed that this matter must have been secretly instructed by Emperor Geng and then found a reliable person to do it. As for why the people who could not let this city go... it must have caused too much damage to make these people alive. In contrast, Emperor Geng would rather become an executioner.

As for the things deep, Xiao Ying hardly dared to think about them.

Lou Boyun no longer asked Ji Xin for thanking him.

Young Master Miao no longer jumped around all day. Jia Jun and Feng Jing finally sat opposite each other with a frown, using water as wine to toast the dead.

The flood receded and they could leave. They were originally looking for evidence to convict Xie Jixin, but the final result was...

The moment before leaving, Feng Ge specially invited Lou Boyun to discuss matters, and this time Xiao Ying avoided it. Afterwards, Feng Ge did not mention what he said to Lou Boyun. The flood receded and the group set off for Tianshan.

When we came, everyone was playing and making fun, and the atmosphere was lively.

When she left, she was silent and lifeless. Xiao Ying had no choice but to do anything about such an atmosphere, and she couldn't even cheer herself up. Feng Ge said very little, but the young couple would still snuggle together in the middle of the night, even if they did nothing, they felt that it was a kind of happiness.

There was nothing to say on the road, and more than ten days later, they quietly sneaked back to the team praying for blessings.

Xiao Ying had been traveling for several days and couldn't bear it. She slept in the car for several days before she recovered.

The team had reached the bottom of the Tianshan Mountains by this time.

They will climb to Tianshan Mountain to pray for blessings tomorrow morning, and this trip will be over.

That night, Feng Ge held Xiao Ying in his arms. "Before leaving Tongguan, I asked Lou Xiang, would he be disappointed with Feng?" "...No, even if he was disappointed with Feng, he would never be disappointed with you.

No one is perfect, so there is no one who does not do anything wrong. It is good to know that you can correct your mistakes. What's more, what does this matter have to do with you? You were far away in Taiping County at that time. Maybe you didn't know that there was a small place called Tongguan in the world."

"I really don't know. I just have a heavy responsibility now and always feel that I have the responsibility for all the mistakes. I discussed with Lou Boyun that the people of Tongguan were eventually buried in Tongjiang must be related to what was suddenly discovered in Tongjiang. I suspect that it may shake the rule of Feng's family, and even point out that the late emperor was unkind. The late emperor ascended the throne and his methods were not very glorious. This is his reverse scale. Anyone who dares to touch it will surely die."

"Even if it is related to the rule of the late emperor, he has killed thousands of lives in one go. Fifth brother, I really don't know that in order to stabilize the rule, and it may be just a rumor, but it will hurt thousands of innocent people, how can such a thing be done?"

"... Maybe it can't be called a human anymore. So the late emperor has been entangled for years~ Mian's illness. This is retribution."

"As long as I think of someone killing thousands of people, but still keeping a reputation, I feel that the world is unfair. I also know that saying this kind of thing will only shake the root cause, but if it is hidden in my heart for a lifetime... it will be too difficult." Feng Ge was silent.

He was cold and silent all the way, and he was thinking about this. Lou Boyun was finally silent, Feng Jing was finally silent, and Jia Jun, Nie Xuan and others followed Xiao Ying's confidant to remain silent. But the truth will never be truly silent.

It's there.

Even if Xiao Ying said, if this matter was really instructed by the late emperor.

Then why should he maintain the name of a virtuous king?

Will his world be shaken so easily?

"I understand. Aying, thank you." Xiao Ying didn't know what she said, and she didn't understand what Feng Ge understood even more.
