Nightwatcher - Chapter 386

Chapter 386




Palace, royal garden.

There is a yellow pavilion under the yellow curtain.

Wei Yuan is the same age as emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty. One looks ruddy and has dark hair. The other has white temples. His eyes contain the vicissitudes of time.

If men are compared to wine, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty is the most beautiful and noble pot. Wei Yuan is the most mellow and fragrant one in terms of taste.

They are talking by hand.

Looking at the Baizi who was taken away by Wei Yuan, Emperor Yuanjing sighed:

"after the fall of King Huai, there will be no Optimus Prime in the Northern Territory, and the barbarians will not be able to make waves for a while. But if the Northeast Shamanism bypasses the Northern Territory and enters the pass from Chuzhou, it will be a direct attack on the capital and the Dragon slaughter is coming!"

As he spoke, Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty dropped his pieces. In the crisp sound of the pieces hitting the chessboard, the situation was suddenly on one side. The white pieces formed a sharp sword and went straight to the dragon.

"Tut, Wei Qing is absent-minded in playing chess today."

Wei Yuan's eyes are gentle, twisting the sunspot, said: "Optimus Prime is too high, too big, difficult to control, when the collapse, hurt more hurt yourself."

A light drop.

They chatted and played chess at the same time. After four or five times, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty said faintly:

"when the prince was assassinated a few days ago, people in the harem were in danger, and the queen was also frightened. During this time, people were haggard because they couldn't eat well and sleep well. Wei Qing, catch the assassin earlier and let it pass, so the queen won't have to be afraid. "

Wei Yuan looked at the chessboard, threw in the ball and slowly breathed out: "Your Majesty's chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite."

Then he got up, stepped back, and said, "it's Weichen's dereliction of duty. Weichen will do his best to catch the assassin as soon as possible."

Yuan Jingdi laughed.

...

at the same time, the cabinet.

A middle-aged Eunuch in mangpao, with two eunuchs, came to Wenyuan Pavilion and met with Wang Zhenwen, the first assistant.

After a quarter of an hour, the eunuch led the two eunuchs away.

Wang Zhenwen, the first assistant, sat on the desk with no expression. For a long time, she did not move, just like a silent sculpture.

The next day, at the court meeting, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty still argued with the princes about the Chuzhou case, but it was no longer as fierce as it was yesterday, and the palace was full of gunpowder.

Today, although there is still no end to the court meeting, it scattered the court in a more peaceful way.

Zheng Xinghuai, who has experienced officialdom for a long time, smelled a trace of uneasiness. He knew that the problem he worried about yesterday finally appeared.

At the court meeting, although the princes still refused to let go, they did not insist on convicting the king of Zhenbei as they did yesterday.

Some civil servants even took part in the discussion in the name of reprimand when they proposed how to eliminate the rumors in Beijing and change the views of the 20000 Jiashi in Chuzhou.

The most distressing thing for Zheng Xinghuai is that Wei Yuan and Wang Zhenwen remained silent throughout the whole process.

After leaving the court, Zheng Xinghuai walked in silence. When he walked, he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Mr. Zheng, please stay."

Looking back, he saw Cao Guogong in his Duke's hat catching up with him, with a smile on his face.

In Zheng Xinghuai's view, this is the winner's smile.

"Mr. Zheng, you left Chuzhou privately and went to Beijing to complain. You thought you came with the general situation. Did you ever think that today would come?"

Cao Guogong's manner was self-confident, and he said faintly:

"I'll give you a clear road. The city of Chuzhou is waiting for a hundred wastes. You are the governor of Chuzhou. At this time, it is time to stay in Chuzhou and rebuild Chuzhou City. As for the affairs in Beijing, don't get involved. "

He turned to look at the Jinluan palace behind him and said, "that's what your majesty means."

Your Majesty's meaning is, if you see good, you'll take it. You're still the governor of Chuzhou. Go back where you come from. In any case, Chuzhou is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital. I don't know if I can't see you.

"Bah!"

It was Zheng Xinghuai's saliva that responded to him.

"I don't appreciate it."

Cao Guogong looked at Zheng Xinghuai's back and sneered.

...

the watchman's Yamen, Haoqi building.

Wei Yuan was the first person to visit after Zheng Xinghuai's separation.

Xu Qi'an has been paying close attention to the movement in today's court hall. He is going to the post station to ask Zheng Xinghuai about the situation. When he hears that he is visiting Wei Yuan, he immediately goes to Haoqi building.

But he was stopped downstairs by a guard.

"Duke Wei said that no one is allowed to disturb during the visit. In addition, Duke Wei didn't plan to see you this time. I've been rushing to see you several times. "

Guard and Xu Qi'an are old acquaintances. They have no scruples about speaking.

Xu Qi'an also had no scruples about beating people. He slapped people on the head and scolded them: "you talk more, you talk more..."

on the seventh floor.

Wei Yuan, dressed in green and with white sideburns, sat cross legged in front of the case.

His opposite, is the back gradually rickets, the same gray hair, between the eyebrows have not open the knot of Zheng Xing."At the end of the Beijing inspection, Mr. Zheng went back to Beijing to report his work. I met you once. At that time, although your hair was gray, your spirit was very good. " Wei Yuan's voice was gentle and his eyes were pitiful.

Now goodbye, this person seems to have no soul, heavy bags under his eyes and blood in his eyes, which indicates that he can't sleep at night.

The depression between the slightly drooping corners of the mouth and the eyebrows shows that the other party has a deep resentment in his heart, and it is difficult to calm his mind and relax his spirit.

"Is Duke Wei going to give up, too?" Zheng Xinghuai said in a deep voice.

"I admire Xu Qi'an very much. I think he is a natural warrior, but sometimes he has a headache because of his temperament."

Wei Yuan answered the wrong question and said: "I told him to think twice about danger, retreat and change in officialdom.

"Before you do something, you should consider the consequences, understand the benefits, and then weigh whether to do it or not.

"If the momentum is irresistible, we should retreat and avoid it. We, your majesty, have done a good job. Only when you are safe can you think about how to change the situation.

"Xu Qi'an, the boy, said to me: I know all these principles, but I don't care... Oh, vulgar warrior."

Zheng Xinghuai remembers what Xu Yinluo said in the cave. Knowing that the king of Zhenbei is powerful, he still wants to go to Chuzhou to investigate the case. He can't help smiling more on his solemn face.

"To let Duke Wei say the word" vulgar "just means that Duke Wei has nothing to do with him."

Zheng Xinghuai understood the meaning of Wei Yuan's words, but like Xu Qi'an, he had his own bottom line to stick to and never retreat.

He went downstairs alone and saw Xu Qi'an waiting downstairs.

"Lord Zheng, I'll take you back to the post station." Xu Qi'an came up.

"I will not return to the post station." Zheng Xinghuai shook his head and looked at him with a complicated look: "sorry, let Xu Yinluo down."

Xu Qi'an's heart sank.

They left the Yamen in silence, entered the carriage, and bailishen Tu, the driver, drove away.

On the way, Zheng Xinghuai described the whole story of today's court hall, pointing out that the officials' attitude was ambiguous and their position changed quietly.

"Wei Gong, if he wants to cater to his conscience, he doesn't need anything."

Xu Qi'an frowned deeply and didn't understand.

"Duke Wei has difficulty." Zheng Xinghuai explained to Wei Yuan in a feeble tone:

"as long as your majesty does not touch the interests of the vast majority of people, no one in the court is his opponent."

"Duke Wei said think twice... Why don't you think about it? Take shelter for a while. The king of Huai is dead, and the people of Chuzhou have avenged themselves. " Xu Qian advised.

Mr. Zheng is a good official. He doesn't want such a person to end up in a miserable end, just like he was in Yunzhou when he stood alone against the rebels for governor Zhang.

This time, there were no rebels. This time, the fight was over the court, and Xu Qian could not rush into the palace with a knife, so he didn't play a role.

We can only persuade Mr. Zheng to think twice.

Zheng Xinghuai looked at him and asked, "are you willing? Are you willing to see such executioners as king Huai become heroes and deserve to enjoy the imperial temple and enjoy a great reputation in history? "

Xu Qi'an did not answer, but Zheng Xinghuai saw that he was unwilling from the young man's eyes.

So he laughed happily.

"I'm a second-class minister, but I'm also a scholar. A scholar just wants to be worthy of his heart, to be right with himself, and to be right with your parents who raised you up."

Nothing to say all the way.

After a long time, the carriage stopped at the street. Shen Tu said in a low voice, "here we are, my Lord."

Xu Qi'an lifted the curtain, and the carriage stopped in front of a grand courtyard. The plaque on the door of the courtyard said: Wenyuan Pavilion.

Cabinet!

Zheng Xinghuai jumped out of the carriage and said to the guard at the door, "my official, Zheng Xinghuai, governor of Chuzhou, asks to see Wang Shoufu."

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an has already understood Zheng Xinghuai's plan. He wants to be a lobbyist, lobby the public, and bring them back to the camp.

The bodyguard entered the cabinet to report. He strode back and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Shoufu said that Lord Zheng is the chief envoy of Chuzhou. No matter when he is on duty or when he is off duty, don't go to him to avoid being impeached on the ground of forming a party."

Zheng Xinghuai left disappointed.

The next day, Xu Qi'an watched him go around lobbying and hitting the wall everywhere..... At dusk, he returned to the post station dejectedly.

......

when Xu Xinnian returned home, he didn't see his elder brother. After walking around the yard, he heard someone shouting from the roof: "your elder brother is here."

That's the sweet voice of young women.

Looking up, it turned out that it was Li Miaozhen, the saint of Tianzong. She stood on the eaves and looked down at herself without expression. Just looking at her face, she could see that the other person was not in the right mood.

When Xu Erlang moved the ladder, he found that Li Miaozhen was no longer there. With grass roots in his mouth, his big brother was lying on the roof with his hands resting on the back of his head.The handsome and unmarried Xu Xinnian, carrying the hem of his official robe, climbed up the stairs to the roof.

"What are you doing up here?" Xu Qian did not have a good way: "walked an annoying mother-in-law, you come to quarrel me again."

"Taoist Li doesn't seem very happy." Xu Erlang's tone was steady and he sat down beside his elder brother.

"Of course not happy, if the strength can, she now want to go into the palace at Mao time."

"Why wait until the end of the day?"

"Because she felt that all the animals in the temple should be killed, so she had to wait for Maoshi to go to court and kill a nest." Xu Qi'an has no good airway.

Hearing the speech, Xu Erlang shrunk his head: "fortunately, I'm just a poor man."

Xu Qi'an couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he sighed again:

"tianzongxiu is too forgetful. Maybe, in the future, she will really have this strength, but she will not be the flying swallow nvxia of that year. This is life. Nine times out of ten things don't go well. "

"Big brother seems to be more calm." Xu Erlang said happily.

"Not calm, but tired and disappointed." Xu Qi'an put his hands on the back of his head and looked at the evening sky, murmuring:

"is it so difficult to admit a mistake and apologize?"

Xu Erlang turned his head and looked at him. Then he turned his eyes to the sky of Qingming and said, "I know what happened to the imperial court. I want to talk to my elder brother. Although the imperial court made a final decision on the case of Zhenbei King's slaughtering the city, it has long been a foregone conclusion. It's not that easy to turn things around.

"Even if the imperial court forces the king of Zhenbei to be a hero, it will leave hidden dangers. When people talk about it, they will never forget the massacre of the king of Zhenbei, which caused great shock to them at first. That's the key to reversing the case in the future. "

Overturn the case... Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows and instantly remembered many cases in his previous life.

Many loyal ministers and good generals who died innocently and unjustly were overturned in the end, while the treacherous ministers who had been in the spotlight for a while got what they deserved in the end.

The most famous one is Qin Hui.

The bronze statue of the great treacherous minister and his wife, still standing in a famous scenic spot, has been despised by later generations.

How much to spit on -- Qin Hui's wife is false Nailiang.

Duke Wei asked Zheng Xinghuai to think twice. Is he also holding the same idea..... Lord Zheng was dazzled by anger and hatred, and his mood was inevitably extreme. He might not be able to understand what Duke Wei meant. Well, I will remind him tomorrow.

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years ago. Since the situation is better than others, then bear it.

My Erlang really has the capital of the first assistant. He is as smart as the Duke of Wei..... Xu Qi'an sat up happily and put his arms around Xu Erlang's shoulder.

Xu Erlang pushed him in disgust.

...

palace.

In the luxurious palace, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty leans on the soft cave and studies the Taoist Scriptures. He casually asks, "what's going on in the cabinet recently?"

The old eunuch said in a low voice: "Mr. Shoufu hasn't seen any guests recently."

Emperor Yuanjing nodded with satisfaction: "where is Wei Yuan?"

"The day before yesterday, after the separation of the court, Zheng Buzheng envoy went to the watchman's Yamen. Wei Gong met him, and then they did not meet again." The old eunuch told the truth.

"Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu are both dead and smart, but Wei Yuan doesn't pay attention to me."

after turning the page, Zheng Jing suddenly became angry

"Mr. Zheng has been running around these days trying to persuade hundreds of officials. There are not many people willing to see him. All the officials are watching. Later, he changed his mind and went to the Imperial College to bewitch the students. " The old eunuch whispered.

Yuanjingdi smiles, his eyes have no smile, with cold.

On the morning of May 12, eight days had passed since the body of Zhenbei king was transported back to the capital.

As for the conviction of Zhenbei king, the notice of the imperial court has not been posted.

The people in the capital are not in a hurry. As the residents at the foot of the emperor, they have even seen a case that has been delayed for several years. They have also seen a decree on tax reduction and exemption. It has been circulating since a few years ago, and it will still be circulating after a few years, and it will probably continue.

No hurry, no hurry. The heat is still there, and it doesn't cool down.

After dinner, the people in the capital will habitually take out the king of Zhenbei for one brush, two brushes and three brushes..

this morning, a group of unexpected guests came to the capital.

Thirty rode into the gate, through the outer city, and stopped at the gate of the inner city.

The leader had a good face, but he was blind. It was que Yongxiu, commander of the capital of Chuzhou.

The Lord Protector was dressed in broken armor, his hair was messy, and he was very dusty.

This is true of all his companions.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, que Yongxiu abandoned his horse and walked into the city. He took a blood book from his arms and held it in his hand, shouting:"Ben Gong is the commander of the capital of Chuzhou. Que Yongxiu, the protector of the state, sued Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou, for colluding with the demon man to kill the king of Zhenbei. One hundred and thirty thousand people in chucheng were killed.

"After the event, Zheng Xinghuai deceived the mission to pursue and kill my father. In order to cover up the fact that he colluded with the demon man, he framed the Zhenbei king for slaughtering the city, which was a heinous crime."

He walked all the way and said all the way, which attracted people in the city to stop around and talk about it.

"Lord Protector? Is it the Duke protector of Chu state? The one who helped tyrant in the case of Zhenbei King slaughtering the city? "

"Come back well, throw yourself into the net. Keep an eye on them. Don't let them run away. Let's go to the government and report to the officials."

"Don't worry, listen to him. The political envoy Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the demon man to kill the king of Zhenbei and deceive the mission..... What's the matter?"

"Could it be that the chief envoy of Chu state was the culprit for the destruction of Chu state?"

The common people are used to hearing this kind of reversal case, just like the old story teller Zhongliang is framed and finally reversed.

They are most familiar with this kind of drama.

"It must be false. The king of Zhenbei did harm to Chuzhou City. Did you forget that there was Xu Yinluo in the mission. Will Xu Yinluo have wronged good people. If that political envoy is a traitor, Lord Xu will not see it? "

"It makes sense."

The people around think it is.

In the year of jingcha, a series of big cases happened in the capital. Every time the sponsor was Xu Qi'an. At that time, he was gradually known by the common people and became the talk capital.

After Yunzhou came back, his reputation went up a step, from talking to being a martyr. What is really popular is the fighting method of Buddhism. After defeating Buddhism, he became a hero in the capital. With the Imperial Palace '.

Solidified a huge reputation.

The struggle between heaven and man is to consolidate the image and reputation. It exists in people's deep mind, dream, heart and cry.

Therefore, compared with que Yongxiu's blood book, the people around him are more willing to believe the Chu state envoy brought back by Xu Yinluo.

Soon, the commander of Chu state, the Duke of protecting the state que Yongxiu returned to Beijing, holding a blood book, sued Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chu state, along the street. With the crowd, it spread quickly.

For a time, the case of Wang slaughtering city in Zhenbei became more and more confusing.

After the incident, que Yongxiu was immediately taken to the palace by the imperial guards and met the emperor alone.

Not long after, the emperor summoned the princes and held a small court meeting in the imperial study.

Emperor yuan Jingdi sits behind the book case, with civil servants on the left and xungui clan on the right. Que Yongxiu kneels in front of the case and holds a blood book in his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this blood book." Emperor yuan Jing handed the blood book to the old eunuch.

The latter took over respectfully, passed on to the royal family, and then civil servants.

Cao Guogong strode out and said indignantly, "Your Majesty, Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the demon man to kill the king of Zhenbei. It's a terrible crime. We should punish the nine nationalities."

The Minister of rites came out with a frown. "Duke Cao's words are too arbitrary. Zheng Xinghuai colluded with the demon man and killed his family?"

A princess retorted: "who can be sure that Zheng Xinghuai's family died in Chuzhou?"

Zhao Tingfang, the Bachelor of Dongge University, was furious and said: "if Zheng Xinghuai colludes with yaoman, what's the matter with the mysterious master who killed Zhenbei king? He said by name that the king of Zhenbei slaughtered the city. The mission has seen and heard with its own eyes. "

Cao Guogong sneered: "who is the mysterious master? You asked him to testify for Zheng Xinghuai. How can you believe the words of an unknown evil monk? "

Liu Hong, the imperial censor of Youdu, was furious. "It's the evil repair in your mouth that killed the barbarian leader. The Duke of Cao is submissive in front of the barbarians, but he strikes hard in the court. It's a great prestige. "

Without waiting for Cao Guogong to refute it, Yuan Xiong, the censor of zuodu, took the lead in fighting with his political opponents: "it's said that if you are not of our own race, your heart will be different. Mr. Liu, don't forget your identity."

Liu Hong sneer: "not my race, can make the dynamic Zhenguo sword?"

"Enough!"

All of a sudden, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty slapped the table fiercely with anger in his eyes.

Seeing this, he immediately fell down and cried, "I beg your majesty to make the decision for me, for the king of northern town and for the people of Chuzhou City."

Emperor yuan Jingdi nodded slowly: "this case is of great importance. Naturally, I will investigate it clearly. The matter will be tried jointly by the three departments. Mr. Cao, you should also take part in it. "

Then he took a look at his companion and said, "give Cao Guogong a gold medal. Go to the post station immediately to catch Zheng Xinghuai. If you violate the rules, you should cut first and then play."

Cao Guogong said: "yes, your majesty Shengming."

...

out of the palace, Wei Yuan raced to catch up with Wang Shoufu, and the two powerful officials walked side by side without a carriage.

This scene, in front of the public, can be called a scenery. Many years later, the scenery is still worth remembering.

"I tried to persuade Zheng Xinghuai, but he was stubborn." Wei Yuan's voice was gentle and his face was as usual."If he was not stubborn, he would not have been sent to the north by the old chief assistant." Wang Shoufu sneered: "what a fool."

I don't know whether I'm scolding Zheng Xinghuai or myself.

Wei Yuan said faintly: "last time, I almost caught que Yongxiu in the palace and escaped for him. The next day, we searched all over the city, but we still didn't find him. That's when I knew it had to be done. "

Wang Shoufu said calmly: "it's not a bad thing. It's because the king of Zhenbei is dead that the princes agree with his majesty. Now que Yongxiu is back alive, some people will not agree. This is our chance. "

Wei Yuan shook his head: "it is because que Yongxiu came back that those people saw the hope of" overturning the case ". As long as they cooperate with your majesty, the case will be settled. And once it's settled, que Yongxiu is a first-class Duke. It's hard to deal with him after he has made great contributions to the founding of the country. "

After a moment's silence, they both asked, "did he threaten you?"

......

post station.

There was a cough in the room. Zheng Xinghuai was wearing blue casual clothes and sitting at the table with his right hand flat on the table.

A magician in white is giving him a pulse.

After a long time, the white warlock took back his hand and shook his head:

"it's not a big problem that depression becomes a disease. Just take a few pills and cultivate for a few days. However, Mr. Zheng, you'd better ease up earlier, or you'll come back for this disease. "

Chen Xian and his wife were relieved and sighed again and again.

The disease is a minor one, which is not difficult to treat. What is difficult to treat is Mr. Zheng's heart disease.

Zheng Xinghuai did not respond to the white warlock, arched his hand: "thank you, doctor."

"Don't look like you don't want to be serious." As long as they are not oppressed by violence, they always have something to say:

"you are not too old. If you are heartless, you can live a few more years. Otherwise, in three or five years, there will be a serious illness, at most ten years, and I can go to your grave to burn incense. "

Chen Xian and his wife looked unhappy.

Zheng Xinghuai seemed to have seen the white warlock's face. Instead of blaming and angry, he asked, "it's said that Xu Yinluo and Si Tianjian have a good relationship."

The white warlock sneered: "I know what you're thinking. Mr. Xu is our celestial supervisor. However, if you want to see the prison through him, don't think about it. It's the rule that Si Tianjian doesn't ask about the court. "

Zheng Xinghuai was about to say another word when he heard the white magician add: "Xu Yinluo has already gone to the Tianjian to ask for help. If this road is workable, you still need to say it?"

He, he has been to Si Tian Jian..... Zheng Xinghuai looks complicated. Among the missions back to Beijing, only Xu Yinluo has been working on this matter.

Because of the situation, others chose silence.

As they spoke, the sound of hasty footsteps came from downstairs, followed by Zhao Jin's roar: "which yamen do you belong to, dare to intrude into the post station where Mr. Zheng lives..."

Zheng Xinghuai and others ran out of the house, just to see Cao Guogong in military uniform, waving a scabbard on Zhao Jin's face and smashing his teeth.

The silver Gong of the watchman's Yamen ran out of the room with several gongs and said, "stop it!"

Zhao Jin, who ordered the gongs to hold down his rage, the silver Gong glared and warned: "this is the forbidden army in the palace."

Zhao Jin's face froze.

The silver Gong took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "Mr. Cao, this is..."

Mr. Cao looked at Zheng Xinghuai who ran out of the room with a cold smile and said, "according to your Majesty's will, catch Zheng Xinghuai and return to Dali temple for questioning. If you disobey, kill him."

"What?"

The watchman and Zhao Jin's face changed.

Zheng Xinghuai, fearless and with a clear conscience, said, "what crime have I committed?"

Cao Guogong was stunned, and his smile became playful, with a mockery: "it seems that Mr. Zheng didn't go out today. Well, all the envoys of Chuzhou and Duke Huguo que have returned to Beijing. He accused your majesty of colluding with demons and killing the king of Zhenbei and 380000 people of Chuzhou City."

Zheng Xinghuai's body faltered and his face was bloodless.

The house of Huaiqing.

The bodyguard knocks on the door of Princess Huaiqing's study, strides in and presents the note in his hand:

"Your Highness, all the information you want is here. Mr. Zheng has been put in prison. In addition, many people in the capital spread the rumor that "Zheng Da talent is colluding with demons" and that Cao Guogong's people are behind the scenes.... "

while listening, Huai Qing unfolded the note and read it silently.

"Our palace knows that our father has a successor. Que Yongxiu has already returned to Beijing, lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. My father ignored the rumors in the capital just to wait for this moment. It's very powerful. "

She waved.

The chief bodyguard is leaving.

When the door of the study is closed, Huaiqing in a plain white dress walks to the window and quietly looks at the spring scenery outside the window.

The gentle sigh reverberates in the study.

..........East Palace.

Lin'an flies with her skirt, just like a bunch of gorgeous flames, with skirt, waist jade and ribbon flying.

The six ladies in waiting chased after her, shouting, "Your Highness, slow down, your highness.

"Brother Prince, brother Prince..."

the sweet voice of silver bells reverberated and floated into the hall from the outside.

The prince is in his bedroom. When he hears his sister's cry, his face changes greatly. Flurried out of bed, picked up the clothes on the ground, quickly put on.

Fortunately, the eunuchs in the East Palace knew that the master was working hard for the royal family. They stopped Lin'an from entering the dormitory and invited her to the reception hall.

When he saw his younger sister, his face softened and he said gently, "what's the matter in such a hurry?"

Lin'an wrinkled delicate eyebrows, charming peach blossom eyes flashing panic and worry, and even said: "Prince brother, I heard that Zheng Buzheng was arrested by his father."

The prince was silent and nodded, "I know."

He has been the crown prince for so many years. He knows everything about the court.

Lin'an said stealthily: "father, he, he wants to be Mr. Zheng, right?"

The prince waved back the eunuch and the palace maids, and when there were only two brothers and sisters left in the hall, he nodded and gave a positive reply.

The smart peach blossom eyes darkened. Lin'an said in a low voice: "the king of Huai slaughtered the city and killed 380000 innocent people. Why did his father cover up for him and not hesitate to blame Lord Zheng for this?"

It's about the face of the royal family. It's absolutely impossible for the prince to give way..... The Prince wanted to say so, but he sighed and patted her on the shoulder:

"as a daughter, don't worry about it. It's not good to learn Huaiqing, so you shouldn't go back to the palace."

Lin'an hung her head like a frustrated little girl.

The prince was still very distressed for his sister. He pressed down her fragrant shoulder and said in a deep voice, "my father likes you because your mouth is sweet, because you never ask about the court. Why have you changed now?"

Lin'an said weakly: "because Xu Qi'an's position is getting higher and higher..."

the crown prince's face changed and he was angry: "did he encourage you to enter the palace?"

"No..." Lin'an small mouth a shriveled, wronged said: "I, I dare not see him, no face to see him."

Huai Wang is her own uncle, who committed such atrocities in Chuzhou. He is also a royal family. How can she completely get rid of the relationship?

Her guilt for 300000 wronged souls made her feel ashamed to see Xu Qian.

She even thought, never see you again.

"So, you came to me today to ask me to intercede with your father?" The prince led her to sit down again and saw his younger sister peck her head. He shook his head with a smile:

"how can I meet my father without you? In Lin'an, there is no right or wrong in officialdom, only the gain and loss of interests. Not to mention whether it's useful for me to show up, I'm the prince. I have to stand with the imperial clan and xungui.

"You are a daughter's family, and no one cares what you do. If you're the prince, you've already lost your chance to be the emperor

Lin'an said with a sad face: "however, killing so many people, you always have to pay the price. Otherwise, who still believes in the royal law that we have worshipped. I heard Huaiqing say that the one who killed for huaiwang was Huguo Gong.

"He killed so many people, and my father wanted to protect him. I'm very unhappy."

Silly sister, under the Dragon chair of my father is a sea of corpses.

There were many things like this before, many things like this now, and they will continue in the future. No one can change it.

Including your favorite Xu Qi'an.

The prince shook his head helplessly.

...

Dali temple, prison.

In early summer, the air in the cell smelled rotten, mixed with the smell of prisoners defecating at will, and the smell of rotten food.

The stuffy air is disgusting.

With two jugs of wine and a bag of beef, Cheng of Dali Temple entered the prison. Slowly came to the prison where Zheng Xinghuai was imprisoned, and did not taboo the dirty place names, sat down on Li.

"Lord Zheng, I want you to drink." Dali Shicheng smiles.

Bound with shackles, Zheng Xinghuai went to the fence and examined the Dali Temple Cheng. He said, "you don't look very well."

"What's wrong? It is clear that he looks ruddy and relaxed all over

Dali Temple Cheng opened the butter paper and shared it with Zheng Xinghuai. Eating, he suddenly said: "after this matter is over, I will go home."

Zheng Xinghuai looked at him and nodded: "very good."

After eating meat and drinking wine, Dali Temple Cheng got up and bowed to Zheng Xinghuai deeply: "thank you, Mr. Zheng."

He left without explanation.

Thank you for bringing my conscience back.

When Fang Fu came out of the dungeon, Cheng of Dali Temple saw a group of people coming face to face. The two people in front of him were Duke Cao and Duke Huguo, que Yongxiu.Why did they come here? As the main figure in the case, Huguo Gong also wanted to be detained?

Dali Shicheng's eyes passed them and saw their followers behind them..... Are they still with them?

"Dali Shicheng, let's meet again."

Que Yongxiu welcomed him with a smile, looked up and down, and tut tut said:

"it turned out that he was just a six grade official. When I was in Chuzhou, I thought you were a class official. You are so powerful that even I dare to question you."

"What are you doing here?" he said in a deep voice

"Interrogate the prisoner, of course." Que Yongxiu showed a mocking smile: "I'm under your Majesty's command to bring the prisoner Zheng Xinghuai up for trial. During this period, no one is allowed to enter the dungeon, and those who violate it will be punished for the same crime."

After that, the two Dukes went into the dungeon side by side. The servants closed the door and locked it inside.

They want to kill... The idea flashed through Cheng's mind like lightning strike.

He instinctively wanted to go to the Minister of Dali temple for help, but the two Dukes dare to come here, which is enough to show that the Minister of Dali Temple knows about it and acquiesces.

Because the two Dukes were instructed by his majesty.

"They want to kill people and then commit suicide disguised as fear of crime, so as to tell the world. In this way, the anger against the king of Huai will be transferred to Zheng Xinghuai.

"This is much simpler than the previous statement, and it is more easily accepted by the people. Your majesty, he doesn't plan to hear the case at all. He wants to catch all the princes by surprise, so that they have no choice.. "

the chief of Dali Temple walks away with faster and faster pace. At last, he rushes to the stable of Yamen.

There was only one thought in his mind: to find Xu Qi'an.

Only the smelly stone in this pit can stop Duke Huguo and Duke Cao. Only he can be angry for his belief.

......

Cao Guogong covered his nose and mouth, frowned and walked in the corridor between the dungeons.

"What's this stink, Mr. Cao? You haven't led the army for a long time." The one eyed que always cultivates the way of heiran.

"Don't talk nonsense. Hurry to finish the work and leave. If it's too late, it will change." Duke Cao waved his hand.

They stopped in front of Zheng Xinghuai's prison. Que Yongxiu took a look at the wine pot and butter paper on the ground and said, "Mr. Zheng, I've had a good time."

Zheng Xinghuai's eyes turned red instantly. He ran out with shackles and roared like a lion: "Que Yongxiu, you beast!"

Que Yongxiu was not angry either. He said with a smile, "I am a beast. Kill all the animals in your family. Zheng Xinghuai, that day let you get away, will cause so many things later. Today, I'll see you and your family together. "

Zheng Xinghuai roared and roared. He thought of his grandson who was provoked by a long gun, his son who was nailed to the ground, and his wife and daughter-in-law who were hacked to death by a random knife.

The people of Chuzhou city fell to the ground in the arrow, and their lives were like weeds.

The scenes were bright and clear, which made his soul tremble and wail.

Que Yongxiu laughs happily and looks back and forth.

Cao Guogong sneered and said:

"you've been jumping up and down these days. Your majesty can't bear it for a long time. If you didn't have some use, you would have died in silence. Zheng Xinghuai, you are not smart enough. If you can think about what happened in Chuzhou, you should know who you are facing. "

Zheng Xinghuai suddenly froze, as if he had been beaten.

A few seconds later, the scholar's body trembled, constantly shaking, constantly shaking.

"Why did he do it, why did he do it..... Those, those are his people......"

he looked down and never looked up.

The scholar's back is broken.

Que Yongxiu snorted: "thank Duke Cao, let you die to understand."

Then he reached out his hand and said with a ferocious smile, "give me Bai Ling. I want to send him up by hand."

One of the attendants handed over Bai Ling, and another opened the door.

Que Yongxiu strides in and shakes his wrist. Bai Ling entangles Zheng Xinghuai's neck, pulls it fiercely and says with a smile:

"Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chu state, colludes with demons and brutes to kill 380000 people. After being exposed by que Yongxiu, the protector of the state, he hanges himself in prison.

"Is Mr. Zheng satisfied with the result?"

Zheng Xinghuai was unable to speak. His eyes were bulging, his face was red, and his tongue was spitting out.

His struggle from violent to slow, occasionally kick a kick, his life quickly passed, like the wind residual candle.

At this moment, life is coming to an end, and the past life comes to mind in Zheng Xinghuai's mind.

At the end of his life, he seems to have returned to a small mountain village.

He ran on the muddy road in the village, running to the direction of home, this road he walked thousands of times, today I don't know why, especially urgent.Bang bang!

He banged on the door anxiously.

The door of the courtyard opened slowly. Inside the door stood an ordinary woman, weather beaten, with a gentle smile.

He was relieved, as if to find the harbor in life, rest all the fatigue, happy smile.

"Mother, I'm home..."

...

I don't know how long it took, a loud noise broke the quiet dungeon.

The iron door leading to the dungeon was violently kicked open and heavily hit the opposite wall. The loud sound reverberated in the dungeon corridor.

Xu Qi'an rushed into the dungeon with a knife.

Dali Shicheng followed him breathlessly. At his age, even though he usually paid attention to maintaining his body, the fierce running still made his lungs burning.

Dali Temple Cheng chases Xu Qi'an into the corridor and sees him suddenly frozen at the door of a cell.

Frozen there, like a sculpture.

Dali Temple Cheng's heart sank, he didn't know where he had the strength, and he ran to the past.

In the gloomy cell, on the fence, hung a corpse.

He sat down on the ground, covering his face with tears.

PS: I'm too tired to write books recently. I used to have some LSP dreams. Now my dreams are full of novels, and I'm even dreaming about the plot. I vomit, alas, it's hard to say.
