Chapter 231: Exposed
In early winter, the north wind howls.
This year's winter came exceptionally early, with biting cold winds passing through the streets and alleys.
The streets of the capital appear to be more empty, there are not many pedestrians coming and going, and the prosperity of the past has been lost.
Even if there is an occasional pedestrian or two, they are in a hurry, and few linger on the streets, because it is too cold.
Even in the bustling Jingxi Tea and Wine Alley, the opening of shops has been postponed at this time.
It was nearly noon when the shopkeeper lazily removed the door panel.
There were a few suspicious people walking around the streets, as if looking for something?
Finally, I saw a tavern on the side of the street open its door, and these people got in.
Strange to say, this tavern is often the last to open, as it mainly sells alcohol.
Guests always come at noon or near night, but they are just small gatherings for a few drinks.
But today, this tavern was the first to open, so that these few people who walked back and forth on the street seemed to have found a savior.
As soon as a few people entered the store, they looked different from ordinary people.
They are dressed in good materials, although they are all dressed as short-term workers, but the clothes on this body are very particular.
"The weather is really cold, I didn't expect the weather in the capital to be so cold, the shopkeeper came to have a few cups of daughter red!"
Several people also hurriedly sat down, gathered around the fire, and shivered one by one.
However, the shopkeeper is really different from other people's houses, and the shopkeepers of other shops can't wait for customers to come, but the shopkeepers of this shop ignore them.
I saw that he came to these people slowly, and said with a cold smile: "Brother, let's come to the north for the first time!" ”
One of them nodded without thinking, and the other immediately patted him on the head, which made the man suddenly realize and shake his head again.
The man looked extremely embarrassed, and suddenly a trace of annoyance appeared on his face.
"Are you still in business? Let you hit a few glasses of wine, are you deaf? ”
I thought that as soon as a few people said this, the shopkeeper was like another shopkeeper, with a smile on his face and a respectful look at them.
But the shopkeeper was neither humble nor arrogant, and laughed: "Your head is really funny, you actually came to the capital to ask for your daughter to be red, and you don't want to think about how there is a daughter in the north, the king of Chu is also unlucky to use you people!" ”
These people listened. The shopkeeper suddenly broke through their store, and their faces were shocked and pale, and they immediately got up and wanted to run.
But at this time, where could I escape, there was a group of people wearing black clothes with blue ribbons tied around their waists at the door.
These people are extremely strong, with extremely broad shoulders and extremely narrow waists, and they are all completely different from ordinary soldiers at first glance.
The leader unleashed a waist tag in front of them.
The waist card said that the Northern Government was a few big characters, and as soon as it was displayed, these people suddenly collapsed on the ground.
And the shopkeeper only showed his true face at this time, took off his hat, and tore off Hu Xu, who was actually dressed up by Zuo Qianhu.
He coldly ordered: "Escort these people to the East Factory and wait for Yang Gonggong to fall!" ”
It turned out that these people were the people sent by the King of Chu to connect with Concubine Guo, and they originally came here specifically to deliver news.
Because there are many eyes and ears in the capital, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, a few more people are specially sent to prevent accidents.
But he didn't expect that these people were all hit at once, and they were all caught by Jinyiwei one by one, and none of them could escape.
These people are really from the land of Jingchu, because they were born in the south and are not adapted to the climate of the north at all.
Although they wore thick leather jackets one by one, they were still shivering with cold.
There were five people in a group, and they were escorted by this group of brocade guards, and soon came to the Dongchang prison.
Now that Jinyiwei is under the jurisdiction of the East Factory, naturally a few fans at the door are superior to these Jinyiwei.
A few fans in white clothes and white hats were already waiting for them.
"A few brothers, people have been brought, so the brothers have been waiting for a long time!"
These Jinyi guards, after handing over the prisoners, they all smiled on their faces, there was no way, even if the Jinyi guards were already very powerful, but what was more powerful than them was more frightening, that was the fan of Dongchang.
"Come on, you guys have worked hard too, go back."
A few fans took the prisoners over in annoyance, waved their hands at them, and these brocade guards retreated in turn.
And these people sent by the King of Chu, when they saw that these people were all in white clothes and white hats, their faces turned pale in an instant, and they knew that it was better to let Jinyi Wei arrest them than to hand them over.
I have never seen anyone who can come back alive from Dongchang, and they have to be at the mercy of one by one, and they are already like dead people.
These prisoners were quickly pressed into the prison of Dongchang, and here Yang Gonggong was waiting here.
In the dark prison, even in the daytime, there were lanterns hanging on the walls, and in the brazier next to it, low-quality charcoal was burned, and a choking smell of smoke filled the room.
And this Yang Hai was sitting behind a big case, and there were several Dongchang fans standing straight next to him, all in white clothes and white hats.
But Yang Hai himself, his face was whiter, his heavy color was red, and under the light of the fire, his face was pink, and he seemed to have pat on his face.
The smell of powder mixed with the faint smell of blood in the cell, and this smell was a smell of death to the smell of these prisoners.
Frightened these people, they didn't dare to raise their heads at all, cold sweat ran down the tip of their noses, and drop by drop, dripping directly on the ground.
It was only then that they noticed that the ground was covered in dark purple bloodstains, which had obviously been a long time, completely seeping into the floor, and no matter how they washed it, it was difficult to wash it off.
"Raise your head for our family!"
Yang Hai's voice became more and more gentle, really like a little girl.
This gave them the illusion that this place was not so terrifying, at least Yang Gonggong spoke very kindly.
Then several fans of the East Factory shouted loudly together: "Raise your head!" ”
This shout completely shattered the innermost thoughts of these people, and frightened them to raise their heads quickly.
This sight, the scene in front of them, was enough to scare their souls.
I saw that under the swaying of this firelight, Yang Gonggong, the father of Dongchang Factory, was wearing a fine white gauze silk, with a pink old face, gloomy like water, and his eyes were cold.
The white-clothed fans of the Dongchang on both sides stand on both sides, standing like nails, and the dark walls around them are full of all kinds of torture instruments.
And behind this Yang Gonggong, there is actually a statue of Yue Fei, with four big characters in the big book on it, which will be beautiful for eternity.
If this is the underworld, it doesn't seem too much.
After the big case, Gonggong Yang is a little more vicious than the king of Hades, and these Dongchang fans standing around are not black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face?
With a bang, Gonggong Yang slapped the shocking wood, which frightened several people, and their expressions were in a trance and trembled.
I heard Gonggong Yang say softly to them: "A few guests from afar, let's get straight to the point, and give each of you a written confession later, you just need to put a fingerprint on it, and let you die a good death, otherwise you will also see that these bits and pieces hanging on this wall will greet you!" ”
Soon, the confessions were stacked together and handed over to the emperor through Yang Hai's hand.
The emperor looked at them one by one, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Yang Hai approvingly: "The errand is well done, with these confessions, I can take his throne, and you can send the heads of these people back to the traitor!" ”
Yang Hai hurriedly obeyed the order, and at the end, the emperor suddenly asked, "Didn't that Guo Concubine say anything?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty's words, she shouts injustice in prison every day, and from time to time she still talks about your past love!"
Yang Hai whispered.
However, the emperor was unmoved, and after a long time, he lazily instructed him: "She has too many words, you can watch and do it yourself!" ”
"Slaves obey!"
With that, the emperor turned and left.
Concubine Guo finally died in prison by two little eunuchs who strangled her to death with white silk that night.
After the news reached Xianxia Palace, Princess Gu felt a chill coming, and now, the two side concubines when they were in the palace had actually left one.
And when Concubine Su heard such news, she couldn't sleep well.
"Your Royal Highness, this emperor has really changed, he was not so vicious in the past, and in the future, we are afraid that it will be difficult!"
Concubine Su couldn't help but sigh.
"Thinking of me as a crown princess, I should have become the queen when he succeeded to the throne, but now he didn't mention it, the love of the past has disappeared, it's ridiculous to think about it!"
Princess Gu was very miserable in her heart.
"Your Royal Highness, I think that Concubine Guo was also very affectionate with the prince that day, and now it's really chilling to think about it!"
Concubine Su said with a miserable face.
"Yes, when two people get along, it's like mixing oil in honey, which once made you and me very jealous, just like he and today's Siyu Niangniang!"
Princess Gu couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness, do you think Siyu will end up as Concubine Guo in the end?"
Concubine Su thought of Concubine Guo, and naturally thought of today's Siyu.
"You're still worried about yourself, you don't have to worry about her, she'll never end up like this!"
Concubine Su was a little unconvinced when she heard this: "Today's emperor, it's not that you don't know that you are ruthless, besides, when she will grow old one day, how can you bet now that she will not be like Concubine Guo!" ”
"She's smarter than a few of us, can't you see it now, the emperor is relying on her more and more, no matter how many women he has, he can lose it, including you and me, but Siyu, he can't lose it!"
As soon as Princess Gu said this, Concubine Su looked more and more confused, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
