Chapter 1246 Did you really order this?
At this moment, Xu Minghe was also brought over by the guards. He was wearing a prison uniform. Chen Jingshu looked up and saw that he was in good spirits, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing Chen Jingshu, Xu Minghe calmly asked, "Jingshu, have you handled everything? What decree did His Majesty issue? Where is your wife?"
"My wife is away..."
"Young Master Chen, you are not here to reminisce with Young Master Xu, but to oversee the execution."
"His Majesty has punished you with twenty strokes of the cane for your negligence. The eunuchs of Fu'an were waiting in the outer courtyard, but because Grand Tutor Su intervened, the punishment was carried out in the torture chamber."
After Vice Minister Wenren finished speaking, Xu Minghe's eyes lit up and he smiled, saying:
"Wow... My wife is amazing! It seems I can avoid this beating. I just wonder if Minister Wenren is sad or upset that he didn't see me get beaten!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for Grand Tutor Su promising me something, do you think you would have escaped this beating?" After saying this, Vice Minister Wenren waved his hand, and a guard from the side brought over a basin of bloody water from the corner, dipped it directly on the board, and began to smear it on Xu Minghe's body.
Xu Minghe, whose body was covered in blood from being smeared with the board, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and asked directly, "What did my wife promise you?"
"Want to know? I won't tell you!"
"You're not going to tell me? I'll find out soon enough. It's good to have a wife protecting you; it's better than having someone else who doesn't even have what you want!"
"you..."
Chen Jingshu stood silently to the side watching the two talk. Ming He was trying to drive Wenren crazy!
Each word was laced with hidden daggers, infuriating to hear, yet he found it rather pleasant. He disliked men who coveted their wives.
The three of them didn't stay long. Xu Minghe's back was covered in blood, and from a distance, it looked like he had been beaten to a pulp. His face didn't look quite right, so he took a deep breath, mobilized his internal energy, and the next second he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.
Chen Jingshu immediately helped him up and said to Wenren Shilang, "Wenren Shilang, why don't you send someone to find a stretcher and carry Master Xu out?"
As Wenren Shilang watched the two men's actions, his lips twitched slightly. If he hadn't been watching closely, he would have thought that Xu Minghe was seriously injured.
How exactly does the Su family raise people? How did they manage to turn such a cold-blooded and ruthless young Master Chen of the Court of Judicial Review into this?
Open your eyes and talk nonsense!
It's as if their wives are good at acting, and they can act too; they act well, and he becomes the villain.
As Xu Minghe was carried out, with only a simple outer garment covering him, Su Yueyao rushed forward to greet him.
"Minghe, how did you get so badly injured? Does it hurt? Why is there so much blood?"
Xu Minghe, who was leaning on the shelf, was so startled by Su Yueyao's sad and startled exclamation that he almost sat up to comfort her.
Chen Jingshu, who was standing nearby, immediately helped Su Yueyao up and said softly, "My lady... you've gone too far... don't scare Minghe!"
Hearing this, Vice Minister Wenren's lips twitched slightly. He bit his lip to stop himself from laughing.
Su Yueyao, however, wasn't about to let him off the hook. Pointing at him directly, she demanded, "Did Jing Shu do it on purpose, beating Ming He like this? And you didn't stop him? I..."
“My lady… the guards’ methods of execution were reasonable and legal, and I could not stop them,” Chen Jingshu sighed.
When Wenren Shilang saw the indignant Su Yueyao, he turned his head away and refused to look at her. He was afraid of bursting into laughter. How could they all be such good actors? He, a dignified Shilang, had to play along with them, and he wasn't even playing a good person.
“Jing Shu won’t say anything because he’s guilty. Take him to the palace to see His Majesty. We will definitely demand an explanation.”
"Grand Tutor Su, I am merely carrying out orders. This applies to everyone. If you continue to make trouble, I will complain to His Majesty!"
"Then go ahead and sue! His Majesty only issued an edict, not specifying the severity of the punishment. You are simply using your position to settle a personal score."
“I am an upright and honest official; this is slander.”
"I....."
"..."
"My wife..."
"My lady, please stop arguing. Let's hurry and take Minghe back for treatment!"
"Alright...alright, quickly have Yuan Yi wait in front of the mansion. Ming He's injury can't wait a moment longer."
Su Yueyao looked up at Fu An and gazed at him.
"Will the eunuch from Fu'an come over to take a good look at my husband's injuries?"
"No need, no need, I trust Lord Chen and Minister Wenren."
Fu'an originally wanted to go over and check on Xu Minghe's injuries, but unexpectedly Su Yueyao came up and started to blame him. The two of them were arguing like this, so the beating must have been quite severe. It's good that there was no favoritism.
“Minister Fu’an, you be the judge. Vice Minister Wenren beat my husband so badly. Is it against the law for me to protect him?”
Fu'an, who was being pulled back, shook his head almost without reacting, then realized something and immediately said, "Grand Tutor Su, I still need to go back to report to His Majesty, so I'll return to the palace first."
"Fu'an official, don't go! I still want to accuse Minister Wenren of abusing his power to settle personal scores."
After watching Fu An leave, Su Yueyao's lips twitched slightly, and the next second she looked at Minister Ma, who was watching the show from the side.
"Your Excellency, come and see for yourself! My husband has been beaten like this. You are a witness!"
Minister Ma realized what was happening and bowed, saying, "Grand Tutor, I have finished supervising the execution and will take my leave now."
Without waiting for Su Yueyao's reaction, he left.
“…Don’t go…” Su Yueyao wanted to go forward, but Gongyang Ruoyu pulled her back: “My lady…we need to go back quickly to bandage Minghe’s wounds.”
"Yes, then let's go back quickly."
"I won't let you off easily, Minister Wenren!" Su Yueyao said, then walked to Xu Minghe's side and said to the guards carrying the stretcher, "Aren't you leaving yet!"
The guard glanced at Wenren Shilang, who waved his hand with a headache. He had clearly done a good deed, but in the end, he was still being scolded and couldn't even say anything to others. He felt incredibly frustrated.
"That young master Xu was so badly injured, was it really you who ordered it? Did you also deal with him in prison these past two days? Did love turn to hate?" Minister Wenren asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Father, you've watched me grow up since I was a child, how can you not believe me?" Wenren Qichi looked at his father with disbelief.
Others may misunderstand him, and even his father, who watched him grow up, thinks so of him, which makes Wenren Qichi feel somewhat withdrawn.
"I used to think you were an upright and honorable young man, but seeing Xu Langjun's state just now, I am indeed wavering. Chi'er! Although you admire Grand Tutor Su, you must not lay a hand on her husband. This kind of love turning into hatred is unacceptable; you will lose yourself, you will become..."
"Father, I didn't!"
"You're alright? Wasn't the miserable state of Young Master Xu just obvious? Actually, I can understand why you did this, but..."
"Father, please... don't say anymore. I'll handle my own affairs. I'll take my leave."
