Chapter 167: Kill on the spot
Xiao Jingqing frowned, he was very sure that his father was involved in this, otherwise things would not have developed so quickly.
"But I'm even more curious, that group of rebels is not only a group of people who can't survive, your father's people, there is actually a group of forces involved, and this group of forces is quite capable, do you know who this person is?" Zhou Guangxun asked rhetorically.
"I don't know" Xiao Jingqing thought for a while, and couldn't think of who would participate in the rebels, could it be that which family also had the heart to compete for the world? It's not like that.
"It's really weird, I'll check it out, but the most important thing now is to get you out, it's not a problem to stay in this place all the time." Zhou Guangxun glanced at the prison, although there were some things in it, but the environment was too bad, the little sister had already written to ask, and she was very concerned about Xiao Jingqing, if she didn't rescue Xiao Jingqing, the little sister wouldn't be able to pass that level.
"If the emperor doesn't let me go, you can still dig a tunnel to rescue me." Xiao Jingqing sneered, he was the bargaining chip in the game between his father and the emperor, now he can't go anywhere, even if he runs out, his father is not necessarily willing to let him go back, his father's side is not completely ready, and he is not willing to tear his face with the emperor immediately.
"I'll plan this matter, if I don't get you out, my little sister will be in a hurry, you don't plan to go back and watch your son be born with your own eyes, give, this is a letter from my little sister to you, take a look." Zhou Guangxun took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Jingqing, and drank with a wine glass.
Xiao Jingqing looked at the content of the letter, the corners of his mouth curled, not only did he know that his daughter was becoming cuter now, but the one in Xiya's belly was also lively and active. Knowing between the lines that Xiya was accompanied by two children, she was a little relieved, but when she saw Zhou Xiya complaining to him that the child could toss her, her morning sickness was uncomfortable, leg cramps and other symptoms, she was very anxious, and desperately hoped that she could be by her side.
"Yo, it's quite leisurely, when is this prison about to catch up with the inn." A eunuch led the guards over, and stood at the door of the prison and watched the two people drinking inside.
"Father-in-law, please stay. I don't know why my father-in-law came to the prison? The guards guarding the door stopped the eunuch and his party.
"On the orders of the Queen's Mother. Take Xiao Jingqing to the palace for interrogation, Xiao Gongzi, please. "The eunuch saw that there were so many people, especially Zhou Guangxun, and it was not good for him to take people elsewhere immediately. It can only be brought to the palace first. Then transfer again.
"As far as I know. Xiao Jingqing didn't commit a crime, I don't know what the queen wants to interrogate him? Zhou Guangxun stood up and walked to the door of the cell.
"Gongzi Zhou is also here, Gongzi Zhou is the queen's mother's family. How did you deign to come to this dark prison, Niangniang wants to interrogate Xiao Jingqing for her own purpose as a mother, Zhou Gongzi still don't ask, don't worry, Niangniang won't do anything to Xiao Gongzi, it's just a routine inquiry, and people will be sent back soon. "The eunuch's face is a little unsightly, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhou family has heavy troops, and even the emperor is afraid of the Zhou family, he wouldn't have spoken so lowly, he is the big eunuch next to the queen's mother, who is not allowed to give him a face, that is, the people of the Zhou family, obviously the mother is the queen, but they are not close to the mother, and they want the mother to please them.
"I haven't seen the queen for a few days, since that's the case, then I'll go into the palace with Xiao Jingqing today to say hello to the queen." Zhou Guangxun made up his mind, that is, he made up his mind, Zhou Xiwan was very vicious, who knew what she wanted Xiao Jingqing to do, and how he would explain to his little sister if something happened to Xiao Jingqing.
"This ...... No, the mother is busy, and there is no mother's summons, foreign men are not allowed to go to the palace, Zhou Gongzi wants to ask his mother to say goodbye, the slave will report to the son when he goes back, and then invite the son to the palace, it is not convenient now, come to someone, invite Xiao Gongzi out. The eunuch was a little impatient, and thought about forcibly taking people away.
"I'll see who dares," Zhou Guangxun stopped in front.
"Zhou Guangxun, what are you going to do, this is the prisoner who the queen mother wants to interrogate, are you here to stop you to commit the next crime?" The eunuch's shrill voice scolded.
"You are a eunuch, it is not your turn to talk to me, if you want to mention someone, you can take out the emperor's holy decree, the queen's order does not work here, I want to see, I am here to stop, the queen can forcibly take people away, and the acquaintance will go back and tell your master, people are protected by me, and no one wants to touch him." Zhou Guangxun slammed the cells shut, and the majesty on his body was fully opened, so frightened that the eunuch walked away.
"What are you doing with such a big liver fire, look at how scared that eunuch" Xiao Jingqing smiled instead.
"It's all some fox fake tiger dog things, give them face, you don't know who you are, you still have the heart to laugh now." Zhou Guangxun sat on the stool and looked at Xiao Jingqing dissatisfied.
"I can't cry if I don't laugh, but you don't have to offend the queen, the queen will take me away, and she won't do anything to me, she won't dare to take my life." Xiao Jingqing patted Zhou Guangxun on the shoulder.
"You underestimate that woman, she hates her little sister to the core, you are the husband of your little sister, it's no wonder that she doesn't be cruel to you, it's not that I'm making a fuss, but being careful is not a big mistake, my little sister and the child are still waiting for you to go back, I have to bring you back safely." Zhou Guangxun shook his head, he was also very disgusted with this queen's cousin, not only ruthless, but also playing with the government, which affected the reputation of the Zhou family.
"Thank you," Xiao Jingqing said solemnly.
"Okay, it's all a family, just say thank you, I'll find a way to get you out as soon as possible, it's not safe here, I don't think that woman will give up, I'll go first, mobilize some guards to guard in the prison, lest something happen to you." Zhou Guangxun lightly hammered Xiao Jingqing's chest and strode away.
With a snap, a beautiful teacup was smashed on the ground, "Waste, it's all waste, you can't bring it out with you, what does this palace want you to do!" Zhou Xiwan scolded the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground.
"Master, it's not that the slave is not dedicated, it's really that Zhou Guangxun is too arrogant, he doesn't take the mother in his eyes at all, and there are a lot of people in the prison guarding Xiao Jingqing, and the guards brought by the slave are their opponents." The eunuch began to complain of grievances and put the blame on Zhou Guangxun.
"Damn. Zhou Guangxun dares to spoil my good deeds" Zhou Xiwan slapped the table, but she didn't have any good way to deal with the Zhou family now.
"Mother, what now?" The eunuch asked cautiously.
"Zhou Guangxun can't stay in the prison and guard Xiao Jingqing all the time, you go to General Qian, ask him to take the people to the prison, forcibly bring people out for me, if anyone resists, kill him." Zhou Xiwan gritted her teeth and gave an order.
"Master, this will make a big fuss, and what should I do when it is out of control?" The eunuch jumped. Niangniang actually wants to use soldiers. General Qian is the general of the Praetorian Guard who guards the emperor, if he is mobilized to fight with people in the city, those ministers should play His Majesty to speak ill of Niangniang.
"What are you afraid of, what is there to do. Hurry up" Zhou Xiwan kicked on the eunuch. The eunuch hurriedly ran out.
And Zhou Guangxun came out of prison. He went straight to the palace and asked to see the emperor.
The emperor had just returned from a tour of the lake with a beautiful woman, and he was in a good mood. was enjoying the singing and dancing in the hall, and was impatient to see these courtiers, but when he heard that it was Zhou Guangxun, he thought about it and decided to see it, and now the rebels have made him unable to move in Luoyang, and he still has to rely on these generals, especially the Zhou family, who has heavy troops.
"The last general has seen the emperor" Zhou Guangxun walked into the main hall and saw that the emperor was drinking with a beautiful woman in his arms, so he simply turned a blind eye.
"Excuse me, why did Zhou Qing's family come to see me?" The emperor fed the beauty around him a grape, and the beauty cherry took a small sip and opened it lightly, with a shy face, which made the emperor open his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the last general is here for Xiao Jingqing's affairs, Your Majesty, you have imprisoned Xiao Jingqing for a period of time, this matter is unstable, please ask Your Majesty to be merciful and release Xiao Jingqing, Xiao Jingqing is a military general, Your Majesty can let him go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, which is more valuable than managing him."
"What do I want to do I have my own plans, don't you say much, don't you want Xiao Jingqing to go to the battlefield, he doesn't have to go, you go, you go to Luyu and other places to kill the rebels." The emperor waved his sleeves impatiently, he was forcing Marquis Xiao, Marquis Xiao did not send troops, he would not let Xiao Jingqing go.
"Your Majesty ......" Zhou Guangxun was anxious, he didn't care that he was sent to the battlefield, but he was leaving, what should Xiao Jingqing do.
"Go down"
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the queen ordered the guards to mobilize people and horses to go to the prison, fought with the guards of the prison, and forcibly abducted Xiao Jingqing." A leader of the Praetorian Guards walked quickly into the hall to report and gave Zhou Guangxun a look, his face was very anxious.
"What are you talking about, what is the queen kidnapping Xiao Jingqing for." The Emperor stood up.
"The last general doesn't know, the queen ordered General Qian to lead people to the prison, and fight with the people in the prison, the whole street is in chaos, and if you don't control it, if Xiao Jingqing is killed by mistake, the consequences will not be managed." The leader of the forbidden army hurriedly said.
He is from the Zhou family's side, so he naturally speaks to the Zhou family's side, the bigger the matter, the more difficult it is for the queen's side to explain, as for the prison side, it is not so easy for the queen's people to rush in if they want to bring people in, where will Xiao Jingqing sit still.
"This crazy woman" The emperor was very angry, he was really worried about Xiao Jingqing now that there was a case, and when the time came, Marquis Xiao didn't know what else he would do.
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to take someone to rescue Xiao Jingqing and calm down this incident." Zhou Guangxun stood up.
"Hurry up, be sure to ensure Xiao Jingqing's safety."
Zhou Guangxun and the leader of the forbidden army walked out of the hall, and Zhou Guangxun spoke, "How is the situation over there in the prison?" ”
"There should be nothing wrong now, the prison is the strongest place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, that General Qian is also a showman, Xiao Gongzi will organize the people inside to resist, this time the queen should help us, maybe the emperor will let Xiao Gongzi go." The leader of the forbidden army laughed, just in time to take the opportunity to get rid of that General Qian, but he was just a waste relying on the queen's ascendancy, and he still wanted to snatch the position of the leader of the forbidden army, which was really ridiculous.
"Who knows, look forward to it, if Marquis Xiao doesn't let go, the emperor may not let Xiao Jingqing go." Zhou Guangxun is not very sure.
By the time they brought people to the prison, the entrance of the prison was already in shambles, the guards left by Zhou Guangxun and Xiao Jingqing's own people were resisting the Praetorian Guards, and there were already more than a dozen dead and wounded on the ground.
"Stop for me, put down your arms, the emperor has a decree to summon Xiao Jingqing into the palace" Zhou Guangxun's appearance quickly shocked the situation in front of him, Xiao Jingqing's side took the lead in putting down his weapons, and the guards brought by General Qian saw that the leader was coming, so he had to put down his weapons, General Qian saw that the general trend had gone, and knew that he could not take Xiao Jingqing away by himself, so he had to lower his resistance.
"General Qian, you are really bold, without my permission, you led the forbidden army to protect the emperor to come to this prison to fight, who gave you the courage." The commander of the forbidden army scolded.
"The subordinates are following the queen's orders, and it is the queen's ......," General Qian defended.
"Queen? Is it the emperor or the queen, because of the queen's order, he dared to ignore the emperor's safety, and someone came to tie me up this rebellious and indiscriminate criminal. "The head of the Praetorian Guard ordered directly.
"General, you can't do this to me, I obeyed the order to bring people out." General Qian resisted.
"As long as you don't obey the emperor's orders, you will transfer troops privately, come to someone, bring him back, and take strict care of him" The leader of the forbidden army waved his hand, and General Qian was taken away.
At this time, Zhou Guangxun and Xiao Jingqing also came out of the prison, and Zhou Guangxun also took Xiao Jingqing to the palace to see the emperor.
When a few people returned to the palace, they saw that in the main hall, Queen Zhou Xiwan was kneeling on the ground and crying like rain, looking very aggrieved, and the emperor's face was much better.
"Alright, Empress, get up first," the Emperor waved.
"Your Majesty, the last general has already brought people out safely, fortunately we went quickly, otherwise Xiao Jingqing would really be killed." Zhou Guangxun saluted and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't want to kill Xiao Jingqing, the concubine just asked people to take him out, let him write to Xiao Houye, and let Xiao Hou Ye send troops to rescue him, the concubine knew that His Majesty was very worried about the rebels these days, but Xiao Hou Ye just dragged out the army, and the concubine had to make this decision, I didn't expect things to be like this, it's not that the people of the Xiao family are arrogant, this prison is Your Majesty's prison, but where is this Xiao Jingqing in prison, what is the difference between this and in the inn, there are so many guards guarding, simply doesn't take the emperor in his eyes. Zhou Xiwan hit a rake.
"Hmph" The emperor snorted coldly, also a little dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, protecting Xiao Jingqing is the last general's office, Xiao Jingqing is the son of Xiao Houye, if there is an accident in the prison, how can Your Majesty block everyone's mouth, the last general is so strictly guarded, or someone secretly wants to take people away, as for the sake of His Majesty, the last general is not clear, now the situation outside is so unstable, the enemy army has approached Luoyang, the city is likely to have mixed with the enemy, at this time dare to transfer the forbidden army guarding the palace, I don't know where the queen puts the emperor's safety? Zhou Guangxun looked at Zhou Xiwan coldly.
"You ......" Zhou Xiwan gritted her teeth with hatred, Zhou Guangxun was going to kill her, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine really didn't think about it so much" (to be continued.) )
