C111 No Longer Your Brother (1/2)
Yang An never thought that Yi Shuihan would be so stubborn. Yue Lanyi had almost taken his life, yet he did not betray Yue Lanyi and even protected him like this. Xiao Feimo was clearly someone he hated the most.
How could he not accept such a good opportunity when it was right before his eyes?
”Master Yang, you've used such a heavy punishment, but the prisoner is still unwilling to bet. This proves that there is something else hidden behind the situation, if we continue to beat him up, his life would be gone. As for the rest, let the emperor personally interrogate him, Lord Yang will not be able to do anything.”
Xiao Feimo's tone was unquestionable, of course Yang An was unwilling, just as he was preparing to speak, Yang Heng had already taken the initiative to speak, ”Yi Shuihan is stubborn, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the Emperor.”
”The heavens are unbreakable. How can the emperor not handle cases that you can't?”
Yang An replied unhappily, ”Who said we cannot be examined?”
”There's nothing wrong with General Yang here, it's time for General Yang to return to the camp.”
Yang An did not belong to the Ministry of Justice to begin with, so it did not make sense for him to stay here and bring the case against him. Since Xiao Feimo had pointed it out right in front of his face, he could only leave unwillingly.
Looking at Yi Shuihan who was on the verge of death, Xiao Feimo instructed, ”Lian Gu, go and bring a doctor over to the prison so that Yi Shuihan can have a look. Before the emperor brings in more cases, you must protect his life.
”Yes, Your Highness.”
Lian Gu immediately withdrew after hearing the order.
”Master Yang, right now, there is no longer a distinction between Yan Kingdom and people, even traitors of Moon Kingdom are citizens of my Yan Kingdom. They can't not follow the law, Yi Shuihan was beaten to such a state just a day after entering the Ministry of Justice Prison, and those who don't know it, think that there is no law in Yan Kingdom.”
Standing behind Xiao Feimo, Shi Yanfei started the fight, it was already against the rules for them to use torture, and since Shi Yanfei had grasped on this point, Yang Heng had nothing to say.
”Lord Shi is right, I was careless.”
Yang Heng was not as domineering as the others in the Yang Family, but instead looked very gentle.
”Lord Yang, This King would like to say a few words to Lanyi in private.”
Yang Heng did not say anything, and tactfully retreated.
Shi Yanfei, on the other hand, consciously guarded the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
Yue Lanyi had not taken a bath for many days, her entire body was dirty. Holding onto the railing, tears welled up in her eyes, ”Elder Brother Xiao, I thought I would never be able to see you again in this life.”
There was not a trace of pity in Xiao Feimo's eyes as he asked expressionlessly, ”Did you cut Yi Shuihan's neck?”
”I …”
Yue Lanyi panicked a little, she lowered her head, then saw that her hands were stained with blood, she knew that she could not hide it from Xiao Feimo, and admitted, ”It was indeed me, I was also afraid that Yi Shuihan would implicate Elder Brother Xiao, so I had no choice but to come up with this plan.”
”He's here to save you.”
”I only know that you cannot implicate Elder Brother Xiao.”
Yue Lanyi raised his eyes, his eyes shining, wanting to get Xiao Feimo's sympathy.
She knew that Xiao Feimo and Yi Shuihan were like water and fire.
This king has looked after you for ten years on Ah Yu's behalf, and has always treated you like my own sister. Now that you have grown up, this king no longer has any relation to you, and from today onwards, this king will no longer be your brother.
Yue Lanyi looked at Xiao Feimo in shock, he did not dare believe what he had heard, ”Elder Brother Xiao, are you really ignoring me? I did all this for you. ”
”Is the purpose of framing Qing Qing for This King?”
Previously, Xiao Feimo did not explicitly mention it to Yue Lanyi, but now, he simply broke this layer of window paper.
”It was my sister-in-law who could not tolerate me. This time, she was the one who sent me here.”
Yue Lanyi sobbed softly.
”This is all your fault. If you didn't have the intention to harm her, why would she treat you like this?”
Yue Lanyi's face was covered in tears, she reached out to wipe her tears, looking extremely pitiful, ”Elder Brother Xiao, do you know what she did to me? I didn't hurt her at all. She kept on hurting me. ”
