Chapter 84 I Give You Two Choices
"Shang Zongguan, you must not be bewitched by this witch!"
Someone on the cart spoke first, and then the whole place exploded.
Because they felt that if they didn't say anything now, they might never have to speak again in this life.
"Shang Zongguan, think about it, she is just a little palace maid, where did she get so much money?"
"She must have stolen it!"
These bastards didn't mention the shit they did, but just tried every means to find fault with Yu'er.
If the doubt is clear, the crime will be aggravated.
It's simply their specialty.
Making something out of nothing, turning black into white.
That's their basic skill.
The flowery eunuchs looked at Shang Zongguan, waiting for his order.
As long as he gave the order, there would only be corpses left on the cart.
But Shang Zongguan didn't do that. Instead, he smiled at them and said shockingly, "I gave the money."
"..."
The eunuchs and palace maids on the cart were all frozen as if they were under a spell, and all turned into statues.
Perhaps, Shang Zongguan's move was the real magic.
"Shang, Shang Zongguan, please don't joke with us."
People are like this. When faced with a reality they don't want to accept, they begin to refuse.
But they don't understand that even if they refuse, what can they do?
Reality will not change at all because of their refusal.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Shang Zongguan asked coldly.
He happened to be very idle today. If he was busy in the past, he would have killed them long ago.
There are also benefits to retreating to the second line. There is always no shortage of opportunities in this palace to make up for his conscience.
He threw away too much when he was young, and now he can't sleep well.
It's just right that I can find some new conscience to fill myself now, which can not only have some fun, but also make me sleep more peacefully.
The more Shang Zongguan's attitude leans towards Yu'er, the more panicked these people are.
When people are about to die, they will have a very obvious premonition.
Just like these unlucky guys on the cart.
Facing the fear of death, their rationality began to collapse like dominoes, and the panic spread rapidly among them.
"Then, then the wound on our buttocks must be real!"
"Shang Zongguan, please make the decision for us. If she doesn't know magic, how can it be such a coincidence?"
"Even if it's not her, it must be her who drives the evil spirit to do mischief!"
They still don't give up, just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, regardless of whether they can pull themselves up, they will hold on to it first.
But it should be said that their nonsense actually hit the mark.
Especially Li Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, felt a little stinging, and cursed in his heart:
"You are the evil spirit, your whole family is evil spirits!"
Of course, Li Xuan only dared to complain silently in his heart, and did not dare to say anything.
But Manager Shang just smiled slightly, came to the front of the cart, nodded to them, and said: "You said there is an evil spirit, I can't deny this point, it is indeed possible."
Hearing Manager Shang's change of tone, the people on the cart were surprised and felt that they had gone through the gates of hell and returned.
Yu'er's face turned pale, not knowing what Manager Shang meant.
But what Manager Shang said next made everyone silent.
"How about this."
"I will send you back. If you die within a few days, I will believe you that there is indeed an evil spirit."
"But if you don't die, then you are deceiving me!"
Looking at Manager Shang's serious expression, the people on the cart would rather there is an evil spirit to harm them.
Li Xuan blinked his eyes, and was stunned for a moment before he responded: "Isn't this blocking both ends?"
"What a vicious old man!"
He secretly complained in his heart, but when he saw Shang Zongguan turned his head and looked at him, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his head.
Shang Zongguan looked up at the empty wall, and withdrew his gaze with a little surprise.
He looked at the eunuchs and palace maids on the cart who were desperate for life, and sought their opinions: "What do you think?"
"Shang Zongguan, Shang Zongguan..."
"We know we are wrong, please spare our lives, we will never dare to do it again!"
Shang Zongguan heard their plea for mercy, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, wondering: "What? Are you admitting that you lied to me?"
"This..."
They are now riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. This is not right, and that is not right.
"I, Shang Wenfu, have been in the palace for many years, and you should know me well."
"I am the most fair and just person."
"Now, I will give you two choices."
"One, go back and wait to be killed by the evil spirits to prove that you are not lying."
"Two, wait for me to find out that you are lying, and then you will be severely punished by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"You can choose for yourself."
Both of these choices were dead ends for them.
They couldn't figure out why Manager Shang was helping Yu'er.
The people on the cart came with confidence and left with even more confidence.
They were all very confident that they were dead this time!
What was even more tormenting was that Manager Shang was unwilling to give them a quick death and let them go back to wait for death.
There was no more cruel way to die in the world than this.
Every minute and every second that followed was a countdown to their lives.
And what was even worse was that none of them knew when the countdown would end.
Amid a shrill cry of begging for mercy, the cart was pushed away.
Yu'er stared blankly at the cart that was going away, feeling a bit like a dream.
She had previously imagined what she might encounter with great anxiety, but she had never expected things to develop like this.
Not to mention Yu'er, even Li Xuan didn't understand.
Manager Shang seemed to always help them.
The last time was just a coincidence.
What happened this time?
Li Xuan was a little confused about the intention of Shang Zongguan.
In his opinion, Shang Zongguan was unreasonably supporting them.
But since they had no relatives or friends, why did Shang Zongguan do this?
Li Xuan didn't know Shang Zongguan's mental journey until now, and he didn't know that there was a strict logical reasoning behind his behavior.
Shang Zongguan saw through the "truth" with his common sense and punished the evildoer in his eyes.
From Shang Zongguan's own perspective, he not only completed his work perfectly, but also punished evil and promoted good, and made up for his conscience.
It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
Shang Zongguan looked at Jingyang Palace and Yu'er, and he liked them no matter how he looked at them.
"This child has a hard life, but her nature is still good. If there is any grievance, she will endure it for the sake of the master. She is sensible."
After the last visit to Jingyang Palace, Shang Zongguan was deeply impressed by this place.
He naturally did not forget that he had left fifty taels of silver for this girl.
Therefore, I think Yu'er had her own reasons for encountering such a thing.
But even so, Yu'er did not bring up her own name at the first time.
Manager Shang thought that he still had some prestige in this palace. If Yu'er was bullied and said that the money was given by him, those people would not dare to be so unscrupulous even if they did not believe it.
But Yu'er insisted on not saying it, which made Manager Shang look at Yu'er more highly.
"What a good child."
