Chapter 334 Liang Zhi's ending was already determined
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru have been paying attention to the movements of the Second Prince.
Yuan Wanru was very happy when she learned that he had consulted so many doctors but to no avail.
"He should be left racking his brains in vain."
Xuan Qing looked hesitant, but finally told them, "One of the doctors the Second Prince sent back is missing."
Yuan Wanru's smile faded: "Bastard, this beast, he must have killed someone out of anger and shame, right?"
Lu Jiangnian didn't say anything. After all, considering the Second Prince's personality, it was not impossible.
"Keep a close eye on this. If the doctor has really been murdered, his family might be in danger as well. Help them hide quietly. Other doctors, keep a close eye on them as well."
Xuan Qing retreated, but Yuan Wanru was still very angry.
"Doctors aren't gods. It's normal for them to encounter illnesses they can't cure. He actually took his anger out on doctors!"
"Second Prince, you are such a piece of shit!"
As a doctor, she couldn't bear to hear this kind of news the most.
Lu Jiangnian comforted her: "Things may not be what we think. Perhaps the doctor is very skilled and was kept by the Second Prince."
"If he really encounters an accident, we will record this account and will definitely seek justice for him."
Having said that, Yuan Wanru was still a little depressed.
"People are dead, what's the use of seeking justice?"
For example, those who were tortured to death by Liang Zhi, even if Liang Zhi died, they would not be able to survive.
Thinking of this, Yuan Wanru asked about Liang Zhi, but Lu Jiangnian said, "This matter has been handed over to Minister Zhao. Liang Nian provided a lot of clues, but Minister Zhao probably wants to catch Liang Zhi in the act."
“At present, Liang Zhi will not survive if Liang Nian sends another message.”
Ever since the Second Prince caused the Third Prince to almost insult Zhao Ningxi, the Zhao family and the Third Prince had harbored a deep hatred for the Second Prince's faction.
"Don't worry, I guess there will be results in the next two days."
Can a person with a completely twisted mind suppress his violent nature?
Definitely not.
-
Next to the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis.
Liang Mansion, Duke of Wei.
Liang Shangjiong paced back and forth in the study, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Speaking of Liang Shangjiong, he was quite a romantic man in his early years and had many concubines. Because of these things, his marriage was not smooth.
He hastily married the daughter of a minor official, who was short-lived and died not long after marrying him, leaving no children.
At that time, his sister had been in the palace for a year and revealed a piece of news, hoping that he would marry Gao Peng's daughter.
Liang Shangjiong truly loves Concubine Liang. Of course, he also hopes to have someone like him in the palace to help his sister rise to higher positions.
So, he showed full sincerity and married Gao, now Mrs. Liang.
For this reason, after Gao came into the house, he proposed to send his concubines to his room. Gao was deeply moved and allowed him to keep those women.
He was quite touched at that time and thought Gao was virtuous. It was not until later when he found out that all his concubines were childless that Liang Shangjiong came to his senses. It turned out that Gao only tolerated his concubines so generously because she didn't want him to have affairs with other women and wanted him to gain a reputation as a virtuous man.
To this day, all his children are born to Gao.
Many of the concubines and maids who stayed with him back then died inexplicably. Now, there are only three old concubines in his harem.
Men tend to get bored easily. Although Liang Shangjiong doesn't have anyone new around him, he can't always be with Gao's London.
What's more, Gao had given birth, but those old concubines had not. In comparison, the old concubines were naturally more attractive to him.
Liang Shangjiong spent most of the month with Gao, and would only go to his concubine to have some fun when he had the chance.
Recently, because the children of the Liang family had accidents one after another, Mrs. Liang had no time to take care of Liang Shangjiong, so he felt much more at ease.
He was fine before, but who knew that he became unable to do so in the last few nights?
He didn't believe it and tried many tests, but still couldn't find the solution. He could only secretly see a doctor, but the doctor couldn't tell him the truth.
He was eager to find Gao Peng, but was afraid that Gao Peng would blame him. If that happened, he would not only lose face but also anger Madam Liang.
The housekeeper asked outside the door: "Master, do we need to find a doctor today?"
Liang Shangjiong waved his hands irritably: "Go, go again!"
Just as the butler was about to leave, a shrill scream suddenly came from the mansion.
Liang Shangjiong's heart tightened. That was the direction of his son Liang Zhi's yard. Ever since Liang Zhi became disabled, his temperament changed drastically and he often took pleasure in torturing servants.
Although Liang Shangjiong knew that it was inappropriate, he always turned a blind eye to it because of his son's disability. But things are different now. Although the impeachment on that day was suppressed by him and the second prince, Liang Shangjiong always felt uneasy.
Liang Shangjiong shouted angrily, "What are you doing again! Didn't I tell Zhier to behave himself for a while?"
The housekeeper was too quiet to speak.
The scene in Liangzhiyuan was horrifying.
He was sitting in a specially made wheelchair, holding a thorny cane in his hand, with two shivering maids kneeling in front of him.
A bloody figure was lying on the ground, vaguely the figure of a young maid.
"Bitch! Who told you to spill tea on my robe?" Liang Zhi's face was ferocious, and he whipped the person on the ground with the cane again. The person could no longer make a sound and could only twitch weakly.
"Master, please spare our lives!" The other two maids cried and kowtowed, their foreheads bleeding.
Just as Liang Zhi raised the cane to continue the violence, the gate was suddenly kicked open.
Jingzhao Yin Zhou rushed in with a team of yamen runners, led by Constable Wang, who snatched the weapon from Liang Zhi's hand.
"Liang Zhi! You are suspected of torturing and killing a maid. I have been ordered to bring you to justice!" Lord Zhou shouted sternly, his eyes sweeping over the dying maid on the ground, his expression becoming even gloomier.
Liang Zhi was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... My aunt is Concubine Liang, and my grandfather is the Duke of Wei. How dare you dogs touch me?"
Lord Zhou sneered and pulled out a scroll of documents from his sleeve. "The Emperor has ordered the Jingzhao Yin to investigate the case of Liang Zhi's brutal murder of a servant. Sir Liang, please come in."
Without saying a word, the yamen runners dragged Liang Zhi out of the wheelchair and tied him up roughly.
Liang Zhi panicked and screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Dad! Dad, save me!"
When Liang Shangjiong rushed over after hearing the news, he saw his son being taken away.
He wanted to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Lord Zhou: "Lord Liang, your son's crime is undeniable. This case has already alarmed the Emperor. It is best for you to avoid suspicion."
Liang Shangjiong was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
After the impeachment, no one from Jingzhao Yin came to summon him, so he thought that the matter had been suppressed by them.
Unexpectedly, the other party's plan was to catch them in the act so that they could not deny it.
"Master Zhou, that day, you clearly promised..."
Lord Zhou's eyes sternly said, "Lord Liang, be careful with your words. I have always enforced the law impartially and have never promised anything."
Liang Shangjiong laughed angrily.
Mr. Zhou then asked, "Could it be that you also want to be charged with bribing an official?"
For a moment, Liang Shangjiong really couldn't do anything about Lord Zhou. When he delivered the silver, there was no one else around, and Lord Zhou was not like that.
Lord Zhou gave the order: "Take the criminal and the witness away."
