Chapter 44 The selfish Shi Heng (1st update)

"I did not mean that."

Shi Heng said anxiously: "Your Highness, you cannot deliberately misinterpret my meaning!"

After the murder of the princess came out, his status among literati began to become much more embarrassing. Even though he has been released now, many people still think that he was released because Xia Hanyu showed mercy to him.

If he is dismissed from office again this time, how will he survive in the literary circle, and how will the veterans of the previous dynasty accept him as the princess's consort?

The literati is aloof and has a bad temper like a stone in a latrine. This will not be of any benefit to his future career.

Xia Hanyu raised her eyebrows happily, "Oh? Did I really misinterpret this? Or do you really mean that you really want Mr. Li to deal with it impartially?"

Shi Heng gritted his teeth, "...yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Shi Huarong's disbelieving eyes, which had forgotten to cry at this time.

"Brother, you..." Didn't he come to save her? Could it be that in his heart, she couldn't compare to his meager official position?

Shi Huarong couldn't accept it.

Shi Heng lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. He would explain everything to her after he went back. She was so considerate and could understand that he was bowing his head now for the long-term future, which belonged to the two of them.

The best future.

So today I can only let her suffer a little bit.

Shi Huarong didn't know what Shi Heng was thinking at this time, but Xia Hanyu guessed it. After all, he had always been so selfish.

He can generously sacrifice everything for others, but he is never willing to touch himself at all.

How lame did she have to be to fall in love with such a person in her last life?

Xia Hanyu couldn't help but despise himself.

"Master Li, since even Young Master Shi Heng has said this, I think you should pronounce the sentence quickly, otherwise it will not be a failure of others' righteousness and the death of the family."

The four words "righteousness and annihilation of relatives" were spoken so clearly that it was difficult not to pay attention.

"I obey the decree."

Li Jing'an also looked down on him. A person who abandoned the person he had grown up with and risked everything to save him for his own future would never be a good official even if he was an official.

He picked up the gavel and pronounced the sentence directly.

"Hearing the verdict, Shi Huarong, you know that you are not the biological daughter of the master, but you still occupy the magpie's nest and hide the truth in the court. However, seeing that you are also one of the victims, your position is slightly reduced.

As a punishment, I now sentence you to fifty battles and be sent back to your hometown."

"I don't know where you are from now, so this item can't be implemented for the time being."

"Come here, push the person outside the hall, and execute it immediately."

"yes."

Two tall and powerful government officials picked up Shi Huarong, who was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and took him out. Soon, screams were heard.

Shi Heng's face turned pale, and he never thought that Li Jing'an would give such a verdict.

"Sir, Rong Rong is a weak woman. She can't stand those fifty sticks. She will die. Please show mercy, sir."

He hit the ground hard.

If he died, how could he reach the top?

Li Jing'an looked disdainful and subconsciously looked at Xia Hanyu. Seeing her nodding lightly, he said: "Impersonating one's nationality is a serious crime, but if Mr. Ruo Shi really wants to intercede on behalf of my sister, I have an idea in view of your "sister-protecting" friendship.

A compromise."

"If Master Master, you are willing to share the twenty sticks for my sister, then she will only receive thirty sticks. However, I want to make it clear to you that the person who punishes me will receive ten more sticks. Are you willing?"

"I..." Shi Heng became timid upon hearing this.

Thirty sticks. He was already seriously injured. If he received another thirty sticks, half of his life would be lost. But if Hua Rong was really allowed to receive these fifty sticks, her delicate body would not be able to bear it!

He gritted his teeth and said, "I do."

Li Jing'an raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "In this case... Come, please take Mr. Master down to get thirty sticks. Master Huarong will only give thirty sticks."

"yes."

The yamen officer stepped forward and Shi Heng was taken away.

"Your Highness, can I please go out and take a look?"

Poria on the side looked excited and her eyes kept looking outward.

Xia Hanyu smiled and said, "If you are not afraid of nightmares at night, then go."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Poria ran out excitedly.

Xia Hanyu looked at her back, and his smile became colder.

In her last life, Poria was beaten to death by them, and now it was good for her to watch them suffer the same sins she had suffered in her previous life.

Although we still can't kill them, we have recovered some interest first.

Xia Hanyu leaned back on the chair as if she were boneless, and Xia Ji subconsciously put his arm behind her head.

"Master, how about I give you a suggestion?"

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Some people who should not exist in the family tree, it is better to get rid of them as early as possible, so as not to cause big trouble in the future. If the entire family of the family is implicated by then, it must be something that the master does not want to see."

Xia Hanyu didn't want her father to lose a loyal minister, and she admired Shi Huaiyi's talent, so she gave this reminder.

Shi Yan didn't say anything, he couldn't help but think deeply.

His Highness is definitely not talking about Shi Huarong, that is... Shi Heng!

Shi Yan narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that this treacherous son has committed some serious crime, and His Highness is letting it go now because it is not time yet?

Shi Yan had no choice but to think this way, and naturally made the decision he needed to make.

It's just that this matter still needs to be discussed carefully with several clan elders.

The wailing sound outside took a long time to stop. As long as the wailing continued, Yang Yiyi's ears were covered. The uneasiness in his heart gradually calmed down under the care of Shi Huaiyi, and only joy remained.

As for the two people outside, they had also fainted by now, and Xia Hanyu led them directly out of Dali Temple.

After leaving the door, Fuling couldn't help but said to her: "Your Highness, I didn't know what was going on just now. Watching the two of them being beaten, the slave became more and more excited, as if the depression in her heart was suddenly released. Yes, why is this?"

Xia Hanyu smiled and touched her head, "Maybe they had a grudge against you in their previous life, so this time it can be considered revenge."

However, Fuling shook her head, "Fu Ling is not a grudge-bearing person. Unless they hurt His Highness, then Fuling will definitely hate them to death."

Xia Hanyu nodded lightly.

"No one in this world can hurt me, so don't worry, Fuling, you don't need to hate anyone, as long as you live happily as you do now, that's enough."

Fu Ling smiled brightly, "I feel the same way. I want to spend my whole life happily with His Highness, watch His Highness get married, and then continue to take care of Your Highness until I am too old to move."

"good."

Xia Hanyu's loving smile.

At this moment, the system's mechanical voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

"We are now releasing a side mission: Please ask the host to receive the five thousand soldiers given by the emperor within two days, and have them train according to the method of this system for three months to obtain the steel smelting formula."
