Chapter 59: Prison Questioning
The wind and snow were fierce, and the armor of the guards of the imperial city was covered with a layer of plain white, and they did not stop them when they watched a carriage coming.
"Miss Xue. A few waiters stepped forward.
The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Xue Qing and Song Huzi, who were still wearing great filial piety, sat in the car.
"Miss Xue, just change into a cloak. The chamberlain held two thick brocade cloaks.
Xue Qing stretched out his hand to take the sound of the road, and was about to lower the curtain.
"Miss Xue, the Imperial City Division is nearby. A waiter implicitly reminded that you can get out of the car and walk.
Xue Qing said: "Alas, it's really inconvenient that the injury hasn't healed yet." With that, he lowered the curtain.
A few chamberlains looked embarrassed You look at me, I look at you, the injury is not healed yet?
.....
.....
The prison did not fall into silence because of waiting for Xue Qing.
The officials of the Imperial City Department kept asking with thick paperwork in their hands.
"You framed the crime of the rebellion of the Five Worm Army?"
"Do I need to frame? The Five Worm Army is an army of sinners, and the first emperor is just having fun, is it really child's play to be the leader of the army for more than ten years?"
"Qin Tangong, so are you jealous of the formation of the Five Worm Army?"
"Am I going to be jealous of others?"
"The so-called ransacking of the Pingliang Guan army by bandits and horse bandits was also done by you. β
"Which bandit and horse bandit can loot the soldiers and horses I brought out. β
"Qin Tangong, are you still proud? You are crazy! You also said it yourself, it is the soldiers and horses you brought out, how can you bear it!"
"The soldiers and horses I brought out, life and death are up to me, I am proud of life, and I am proud of death, what is there to bear. β
"None of the eight men who accused you in the temple were lying. β
"Eunuch Zhong did see this, he didn't flee because he wanted to be questioned, but because he was afraid of you, so those guards also killed him on your orders. β
"At that time, His Majesty stretched out his hand to you, and it turned out that you were the murderer!"
Ranquish roared here, the chains sounded, Qin Tangong raised his hand and stroked his knee, and said, "Speaking of this, it can be seen that Your Majesty is clever and bold." Looking at Chen Sheng, Wang Lieyang and the others, "I didn't kill Your Majesty on the spot, not because I couldn't do it, but because it was not good for me to kill him directly, so I left him a breath and let him linger, I didn't expect him to be able to catch this breath." β
"He can't express himself at all, it's up to everyone to guess. β
"If he points at me before Emperor Libaozhang and Minister Gu Ming, then everyone will immediately think that His Majesty is saying that I am a murderer. β
That's true, Chen Sheng, Wang Lieyang and the others nodded, the order is different, and the meaning is different.
"Your Majesty, he dared to choose to point at me again when he decided to kill Emperor Baozhang and Minister Gu Ming. β
"This point, if everyone guesses that I am the murderer, it is best to correct me on the spot. β
"If you can't guess, but think that you are accused of being a minister like Chen Sheng and Wang Lieyang, it is also good. β
"Your Majesty, he's gambling, the crown prince has been decided, the queen listens to the government, it's not a bet that I won't kill the queen and the emperor, Your Majesty, he is not such a naΓ―ve person, and he is also eradicating the grass and eradicating the roots if he does things by himself. β
"He bet that I can't kill the Empress and Emperor, as long as they can save their lives, the Great Zhou Emperor will not fall. β
Speaking of this, Qin Tangong stopped, and his gaze swept over the people present.
"That kid from the Ji family. He said.
The officials subconsciously looked left and right, the crowd shook, and someone came out, it was the Ji Zhong who was not far from Song Ying, and the strange thing was that everyone didn't notice him by his side, and suddenly appeared.
"How long did it take for your uncle to die after he fled back?" Qin Tangong asked.
Ji Chong also looked unwavering, as if he was talking about someone else, and said, "A quarter of an hour." β
Qin Tangong nodded: "It's enough to explain what should be explained, and it was not in vain that Your Majesty protected his life." Look at him again, "The Ji family gave up the door and escaped from you, and it is also very powerful." β
Ji Chong's face was expressionless.
Qin Tangong didn't look at him again, and continued: "Your Majesty knows that the five ministers will not be of the same heart, and also knows that I must be the one who will be excluded by the guard, he knows that although I successfully killed him, but not I can hide it from the world, he dares to bet that Emperor Baozhang can live to grow up, bet that Wang Xiangye, you will fight for power to trap me, and bet that I will be punished one day." β
Today.
Chen Sheng said: "Your Majesty is wise. His expression was sad and solemn.
Thinking of the last moment of the emperor's life, he pointed to ten years later, but it was a pity that he was a wise and martial talent.
A smile appeared on Song Ying's calm face, and he said, "Lone knows that even if you kill your father, you won't be able to win against him." β
The chain sounded again, Qin Tangong shook his head, and said, "That's not necessarily. Without waiting for everyone to speak, his eyes looked in the direction of the cell door, "That Xue Qing is here." β
Xue Qing is here?
Everyone in the cell hurriedly looked back, the bright passage here was dim, the vision could not be seen clearly, and they listened carefully to the sound of footsteps, the footsteps seemed to be far away, but the next moment a person stepped in and appeared in front of them.
The thin body was wrapped in a large cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"It's warm in here. Xue Qing said, standing up straight and loosening the tightly wrapped cloak, and the person stretched and straightened like a wicker.
Warm, this evaluation was used for the first time in a prison cell, and everyone present didn't know what to say for a while.
"Where's Huzi?" Song Ying said.
Xue Qing said: "This time he let him be outside, I told him that there was a big tiger inside, and he didn't dare to come in." He laughed a little proudly.
Who is Huzi, everyone present knows that it is worth being proud of such a thing as deceiving a fool? Everyone was speechless.
Song Ying also smiled and said, "He doesn't know what a big tiger is at all, it's not that he's scared by you, it's just that he listens to you." β
Xue Qing glared and said, "Will he still deceive people?"
The conversation between the two is casual and casual, as if they were not in a prison cell, and they are not talking about the murder of the emperor and empress, just like two little girls sitting in a boudoir.
The thoughts and conversations of the little girls are really strange, and the adults feel that they are out of place, but in view of the unusual identities of these two little girls, they have to remain silent, and the court officials subconsciously laugh along.
Luckily, someone was able to interrupt.
"Xue Qing, don't talk nonsense. Song Yuan frowned and said impatiently, "What kind of style is the hippie smiley." β
Xue Qing replied with a solemn face.
There was laughter, and Qin Tan said fairly: "Xue Qing." β
Xue Qing looked at the cage in front of her, Chen Sheng, Wang Lieyang and others took the initiative to get out of the way, and Song Ying beckoned to her: "Qin Tangong said that there is something incomprehensible. β
Xue Qing sighed, and walked a few steps over with some hesitation, but he still didn't stand in front of the iron cage, as if he was afraid of guard.
"Actually, I don't know much. "I have amnesia." β
Qin Tan said gently: "Don't worry, I'm not asking about what happened before you lost your memory." β
This has nothing to do with worrying about whether or not you are worried, everyone frowned, since Xue Qing came in, the atmosphere of the dialogue has become strange, this Xue Qing, when the teenager is dressed up, she is soft and weak, and when she changes into a daughter's clothes, she is even more delicate.
Xue Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good, you ask." β
Qin Tan said fairly: "Zong Zhou, you killed it?"
Zong Zhou?
The people present almost couldn't remember the name, and they looked surprised when they remembered it, Zong Zhou, who killed it?
"It's me. Xue Qingdao, his face was a little shy, "Grandpa is amazing, I can't hide it from you." β
.....
.....
Zong Zhou, she killed?
There was silence in the cell for a moment, and then there was an uproar.
Zong Zhou was killed by bandits who were bribed by the Zhong family or more enemies, this was announced to the public, some officials of the imperial court because Huang Yi thought that the survivors of Huangsha Road had bribed the murderers, and the other officials thought that Zong Zhou was the hand of the Five Worm Army because of his true purpose of chasing and killing the emperor.
There are also two opinions about the murderer, the people and most officials believe that the murderer is dead, and the party members of Emperor Ji and Qin Tangong know that the murderer is still alive.
Regardless of whether he is alive or dead, it is everyone's consensus that this murderer is very powerful, the people don't know about Zong Zhou, they only know that some eunuchs in the palace like to dance and ink, and they also proclaim themselves champions or something, this Zong Zhou is one of them, and the eunuchs are more strange, it's not strange.
But many officials in the imperial court are clear that Zong Zhou is both civil and military, and the martial arts are not low, and Qin Tangong once praised it.
Originally, I didn't think it was so, but after seeing Qin Tangong's kung fu with my own eyes, this praise felt unusual.
The person who can kill Zong Zhou must be a powerful person.
Countless eyes condensed on Xue Qing.
Terrible?
With two braids, a girl, a poetry prodigy, a seven-step writing, a champion?
.....
.....
"Awesome. β
Qin Tangong nodded, the chains sounded, and he smiled slightly.
Song Yuan and Chen Sheng also looked at Xue Qing.
"What nonsense are you talking about. Song Yuan frowned and said, "Don't take what the Five Worm Army did on yourself." β
Although Chen Sheng looked surprised, he didn't speak when he thought of something.
Xue Qing said: "No, I didn't know Lord Du and them at that time, and I didn't know if I was Xue Qing, but ..."
The unspoken words were known to everyone present.
It's the Emperor.
Song Ying nodded and said, "It's for the sake of cicada clothes." The look of admiration, "Awesome, it turned out that you did it." β
Xue Qing said: "Actually, it's not very powerful, I didn't think about it so much at that time, I don't know who Zong Zhou is, in fact, I just want to sneak the cicada clothes out, but it just so happened that a group of people came in to assassinate Zong Zhou, in short, I had to collide with Zong Zhou, I wanted to run away from him to arrest, Zong Zhou didn't take me seriously, I hit it by mistake..." said with a smile, "Otherwise, he will treat me seriously with my three-legged cat's kung fu, I can't kill him, and I will die." β
In this way, by mistake, the enemy was lightly missed, and everyone's expressions relaxed slightly, yes, everyone's eyes looked at Xue Qing, she was even younger three years ago, who would have thought that a child would kill someone.
Qin Tan said fairly: "Whether it is the kung fu of the three-legged cat, or the mistake or the opponent is underestimating the enemy, if you can kill people, you are powerful." Looking at Xue Qing nodded, he praised again, "It's amazing." β
Xue Qing smiled: "General. β
Song Yuan said: "Zong Zhou will kill himself if he commits many acts of injustice, and it is cheaper for him to die so easily." β
Qin Tangong ignored him, looked at Xue Qing and said, "Then the right-hand man was naturally killed by you?"
As soon as these words came out, the cell fell silent again.
And also?
And it's still a right-hand man?
Compared with Zong Zhou, everyone is more familiar with the right-hand man, because he is Qin Tangong's subordinate, Qintan Gongquan Sheng's things about him are also the most talked about in private, how many women, how many killers, how many Qingke, etc., among them, the most famous, the most mysterious, the most loyal, and the most powerful is the right-hand man.
Loyal and powerful to the point of changing his name and surname to call himself his right-hand man.
Zong Zhou was only praised by Qin Tangong, and the praise was polite and condescending, while the right-hand man could be Qin Tangong's personal guard, and the level of kung fu can be imagined.
The reason why the right-hand man is mysterious is that many people die in his hands and can't see his appearance, that is a killer, a killing tool.
This time, the silence was not broken by the noise, and all eyes were condensed on Xue Qing again.
Is it her again?
With two braids, a girl, a poetry prodigy, a seven-step writing, a champion?
Also, When did the right-hand man die?
......
......
"In Huangsha Road, he was killed by you. β
Qin Tangong continued, looking at Xue Qing.
Duan Shan said that the fatal injury was the same as Zong Zhou's, it was done by the same person. β
Huangsha Dao, the people present understood, under the cover of the gentleman's attempt to find the jade seal in the queen's mausoleum, everyone knew that the queen's mausoleum had collapsed, and it was conceivable that the scramble must have been fierce, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce, and even the right arm died there.
This Xue Qing, in addition to participating in the gentleman's test at that time, also had time to kill.
Xue Qing said: "Duan Shan is really powerful, as long as he has done it, he will definitely leave traces." He laughed embarrassedly.
This time, Chen Sheng couldn't help but speak, "It's really you?" with an incredulous expression.
Then this time it can't be a mistake, right?
Xue Qing said: "I don't want to either, at that time, Lord Du, they have already prepared the entrance to the queen's mausoleum, just waiting for me, this right-hand man blocked the way, I can only kill him." β
Only, kill him.
There was silence all around, but the word didn't sound the same as everyone was familiar with.
"This time it wasn't a mistake. Xue Qing smiled and continued, "It's the right time, the right place, in short, good luck." β
Qin Tan said fairly: "If you can be lucky when you kill someone, that's really powerful." β
Xue Qing smiled: "You're polite, you're polite." β
Qin Tangong looked at her, examined it, and said: "People can't look good, I didn't expect that my two key generals were killed by you, Xue Zhuangyuan killed more than just the literary imperial examination along the way, who did you study?"
Xue Qing said: "It's Master Guo, the Five Worm Army, they are all taught, and I follow them all along." β
Guo Huaichun is a military general, and Xue Qing was raised by the Five Worm Army, so it is not surprising that he knows martial arts, and the people present nodded secretly.
Qin Tangong shook his head and said, "Them, no." β
Xue Qing said with a smile: "Killing people is such a thing, just practice more." β
Qin Tangong said with a smile: "Do you mean that I have sent people to hunt you down and kill you for so many years, and you have become so powerful? β
Xue Qing sighed and said with a smile: "Then, I thank you?"
Qin Tangong raised his head and laughed.
The laughter was dripping, echoing through the cell, and buzzing deafeningly.
"Awesome, awesome. He laughed, his hands on his knees, and the chains rattled, "What a wonderful little girl." β
Song Ying, who had been silent, looked at Xue Qing and said, "Xue Qing, you have suffered. β
The people present instantly understood, this was the response to Qin Tangong's words, this Xue Qing has been living in pursuit, being killed, killing, all the way bloody to this day, what Zong Zhou's right-hand man in the past has not been seen with his own eyes, but the recent sniper in the night in the capital happened in front of him.....
The vision that was still condensed on the girl was clear and blurred, and it seemed that she had seen the scene of fainting and being wounded in the court.
It's really, hard.
It's not easy.
.....
.....
Wrong!
Song Yuan is a clever man, things don't seem right, why do you say this?
"Don't talk about the past, Qin Tangong, you also admit how many evil things you have done. He raised his voice and shouted, "You rebel!"
Chen Sheng's expression changed for a moment, and he also opened his mouth to stop this topic, and said, "Qin Tangong, what else do you have to say?"
Before Qin Tangong could answer, Song Ying spoke first and said, "Then you can say now, why did you kill my father?"
She's still obsessed with it.
Qin Tangong smiled and said, "Why did you kill your father...." paused, and turned his head slightly to look at Song Ying, "You got the jade seal, have you got the handwritten book of the Imperial Temple?"
The Imperial Temple, the Four Masters?
Four?
Xue Qing, who lowered his head and was a little absent-minded, scratched his cheek lightly with his hand, paused slightly.
