Episode 39
Under the pressure of Emperor Liang, Xia Dong admitted that he had robbed Wei Zheng and killed him to avenge his husband.She tried her best to take all the blame and protected her master Xia Jiang in every possible way.The flawless rhetoric made Emperor Liang furious, and he successfully pointed the suspicion at Xuanjing Division.
When Xia Jiang learned that Xia Dong had been taken away by Meng Zhi, he shouted that it was not good and ordered Xia Chun and Xia Qiu to kill Mei Changsu quickly to avoid future troubles.Mei Changsu calmly dealt with them, trying his best to delay time.At this time, Meng Zhi had been ordered to arrest Xia Jiang and seal up the Xuanjing Division.He knew that time was Mei Changsu's life, so he rushed to the Xuanjing Division and subdued Xia Jiang.Xia Chun heard that Xia Jiang had been captured and wanted to kill Mei Changsu before Meng Zhi arrived in the dungeon.He waved his palm and struck at Mei Changsu. At the critical moment, Fei Liu arrived. He stretched out his arm to block the fatal blow. He seriously injured Xia Chun in just three or two moves, and Mei Changsu finally escaped from the tiger's mouth.
When King Yu learned that Xia Jiang was imprisoned, he had a premonition that he would not be able to stay out of the matter, so he thought hard about countermeasures in his palace.
Emperor Liang was furious in the palace. He was suspicious and had confirmed from the bottom of his heart that Xia Jiang had colluded with King Yu to frame King Jing.This incident completely touched his bottom line, and he could not forgive Xuanjingsi, who had always stayed out of party strife, for daring to deceive him.
Cai Quan and Shen Zhui hurriedly met to report that there was another hidden story in the case of the private artillery workshop.It turns out that the explosion that killed and injured hundreds of people was not an accident, but man-made. The suspicion pointed directly at Zhu Yue, the minister of Dali Temple and the brother-in-law of King Yu.After Emperor Liang read the memorial, he remained silent. He knew the whole incident clearly. He knew that it was an explosion planned by King Yu to deal with the deposed prince.
At this time, Mei Changsu, who had been rescued, walked to the shackled Xia Jiang.Xia Jiang shouted: "There are only seven days left. If a person dies, there will be nothing left, so you can't be considered a winner."Meng Zhi felt that these words were strange and asked for the truth, but Mei Changsu covered him up.
King Yu thought that Emperor Liang summoned him to the palace because of the Xuanjing Division case, so he started to cry out for injustice as soon as he entered the hall.After Emperor Liang handed him the memorial about the private artillery room, he realized what happened. He couldn't deal with it and could only keep crying out for injustice.Cai Quan and Shen Zhui asked the three ministers to conduct a joint trial and let King Yu observe the trial.Emperor Liang knew that the evidence was conclusive and that King Yu could not deny it. In order to save the royal family's face, he ordered Cai Quan to investigate Zhu Yue and not to pursue further, but to close the case as soon as possible.
When Mei Changsu returned to Su's house, he could no longer hold on. He vomited out blood, but still asked whether Master Su Gu and Wei Zheng were safe. He was relieved after receiving a positive answer.He was in a hurry to arrange other matters, but was stopped by the distressed Doctor Yan.
Meng Zhi responded, Xia Jiang refused to plead guilty and asked to be interviewed.Emperor Liang had a deep grudge in his heart and refused to meet him. He only asked Xia Jiang to present his confession.
When Prince Jing heard that Mei Changsu had returned to Su's house, he finally relaxed after being tense for many days.
