Chapter 960: Testifying to the Law

On the night of the wedding, Solandale fell asleep in the mansion and had the same dream that she had had countless times in the past.

The golden dim sun.

Overlooking the eyes of the world.

And the voice that lingers in my headβ€”

"Find us."

It keeps saying.

"Find us."

"Find us."

Just as Solandelle was tormented by this dream, hurried footsteps rang out.

"Your Majesty!" The Imperial Guard even forgot the rules and barged in without knocking.

Solandelle was awakened by the noise and sat up suddenly, she stared blankly at the imperial guard, and only after a while did she come back to her senses: "What's wrong?" ”

The royal guard, who had always been calm, actually showed panic on his face at this time: "Your Majesty, Lord Maban."

Solandale felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart, and she didn't even bother to change her pajamas, so she hurriedly ran out.

On the way to Maban's residence, the imperial guard reported with an ugly face: "Earlier today, the guards in Maban-sama's mansion thought that last night was the wedding night, so they didn't want to bother, but someone suddenly smelled blood. ”

"The guards chased the smell of blood and found that it was wafting from the second floor, and they were afraid that Lord Mabara would be assassinated, so they broke into the house, and found out"

When the imperial guard said this, he seemed to have some concerns, and he didn't dare to say any more.

The suspense didn't last long, as Solandelle's mansion was so close to Mabana that she quickly arrived at the scene and saw the situation firsthand.

The corridor on the second floor of the Maban Mansion was already crowded with guards, their faces full of panic, and they consciously moved out of the way when they saw Solandelle, and their eyes looked at her uncertainly.

Solandale walked into the bedroom, the smell of blood came to her nose, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she only felt cold hands and feet, as if her whole person was frozen.

She had thought that there had been an assassin in the palace, and that Maban, the king's right hand, had been assassinated.

After all, this change has touched the interests of too many families, and even shaken their foundations, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take extreme measures in a vain attempt to stop the general trend.

If Maban dies in the assassination, it will be sad for Solandelle to lose such a capable subordinate.

But for Ma Ban personally, this is a kind of sublimation.

Mazaku is terminally ill and has less than a month left to live, and if he dies at the hands of the Assassins in his last days, he will die in the line of duty, giving his life for change.

In the history books of future generations, Ma Ban's name will be left behind, and he will be regarded as a great hero and will be praised in the mouths of generations after generations.

But the fact is that Madara failed to "die", he did not die.

It was a joyful thing, but the death of another person destroyed everything at this time.

The layout of the marital bedroom has not changed from yesterday, and it is extremely new, but this sweet abode belonging to the newlyweds has been soaked in blood.

The bride Aurora lay flat on the bed, her white wedding dress was scarlet, and there was a hideous knife wound on her heart, and the blood on the top of the bed tent and the surrounding walls clotted into lumps, and the blood stained the entire bed, spilling to the floor, and gathering into a pool of blood.

No one knew what it was like before Aurora died, the body showed no signs of struggle, its face was not distorted, and it was full of calm, as if she had been killed in a deep coma

Or.

had already foreseen the ending and calmly welcomed his death.

Who is the perpetrator?

There is no need to check, no need to guess, because the murderer did not run at all, he was at the scene.

Ma Ban had already taken off the groom's wedding dress, folded it neatly on the side of the bed, and was wearing the uniform of the king's right hand, sitting upright, as usual in the palace.

A blood-stained knife was placed beside him.

Solandale couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of her, she looked at Ma Spot, and asked in a lost voice, "What did you do?"

Ma Ban put his hands on his knees, did not look at Solandale, his eyes looked straight ahead, not at all like a criminal who had just killed someone, and his voice was full of anger: "Please Your Majesty punish the crime according to the law, and the criminal is willing to punish the law." ”

Solandale rushed over and grabbed Maban's collar and shook it vigorously, almost silent: "What are you thinking?!" ”

Maban looked into Solandale's eyes, his gaze was like two knives, and repeated the same words again: "Please Your Majesty punish the crime according to the law, and the guilty are willing to punish the law." ”

In a trance, a thunderbolt sounded in Solandale's mind, and the words he had once said, as well as the words of Aurora and Maban, kept echoing:

"Now that the implementation of governance under the law, the people are skeptical and dare not respond, which has brought great difficulties to the popularization."

"It's a good opportunity to make a reversal happen overnight, to make it thunder, to let everyone know that this is a real change, and the Queen is willing to do whatever it takes."

"Please ask Her Majesty to punish the crime according to the law, and the guilty minister is willing to bow to the law."

In the midst of these voices, Solandel finally reacted and realized the truth behind this unbelievable murder.

Since the principle of "governing under the law" was written into the general chapter of the code, although departments at all levels have dealt with many people who violate the law, they are all small fish and shrimp, and the highest status is the main city level, not the core eight-rank official.

In the eyes of the people, this is a bluff, and ruling under the law is just an empty talk, otherwise why only deal with local petty officials, and the palace ministers dare not move?

Of course, it's not that they dare not move, but that no one can move.

The law only talks about action, not the heart, and only those who truly violate the law will be punished.

And the high-level officials all know that Solandelle is real, and she is strictly guarded everywhere, and if she does not give any flaws, naturally no one will be dismissed.

It is impossible for Solandelle to set an example by bringing a minister out and forcing the other party to be accused of trumped-up crimes, then she herself is the first person to violate the law.

In the situation of silence at the top level, the people at the bottom do not see the "thunder", so they naturally do not take the code amendment bill seriously, and it is difficult to change their concepts.

Solandale can't catch anyone from above now, and he can't explain to the below, so he is hung in the middle.

It's not that the problem can't be solved, as long as time passes, there will always be Xiaoxiao in a high position who can't help but cross the red line, and then it will be the best opportunity to set up a model.

It's just that there is no guarantee when this opportunity will come, and no one knows whether it will be days, months, or years.

So, at this dilemma, Ma Ban chose to stand up.

More precisely, it was Maban and Aurora who chose to stand up.

These two people met in Heiguan, and it took 6 years to complete the spiritual integration and become spiritual partners, and they have long surpassed the secular relationships of "lovers" and "husband and wife".

With the same ideal, for the same people, they turned themselves into a flame and threw themselves into the thorns of the old order.

This unbelievable newlywed bloody case is only for one thing-

Prove the law by yourself!
