Chapter 657: Mixed Game
In fact, Wei Yunxuan knew very well in his heart that General Zhong Liang must have been framed.
However, if General Zhong Liang is rescued at this time and robbed people in the law field, the muddy water here in Jindong City will be poured out. The current relative calm will be shattered, and many people will die in the chaos.
Wei Yunxuan knew very well in his heart that without adequate preparation for this matter, rash action would only kill more people.
Wei Yunxuan said: "Miss Huazi, don't worry, if this matter is really done by the queen, we won't let her do anything wrong and get away with it." However, now our strength can't compete against the queen's party at all. can only recuperate, and when the time is ripe, she will fight back and avenge those who were killed by her. ”
Bai Zijun also said that the prince was thoughtful, and it was not appropriate to be impulsive in this situation now.
Now, the prince's side is in the dark, and the queen is in the light. It's more beneficial to us, and it will be easy to fight back if there is a chance in the future, once the whereabouts of the prince are exposed, there will be a lot of troubles that will follow.
After the four of them discussed, they finally gave up robbing the law field.
Two days later, in the afternoon, it was particularly lively outside the West City Gate.
The inside and outside of the city gate and the city gate were almost surrounded by water, and they were covered with people who had come to watch the execution of General Zhong Liang.
The soldiers in Jindong City also strictly guarded the law field to prevent accidents from happening.
Wei Yunxuan and Han Xuening did not go to the street, and directly watched the execution of Zhong Liang at the city gate on the second floor of the inn facing the west city gate.
The judge who executed General Zhong Liang this time was a middle-aged man with a green beard, not tall, dressed in green clothes, with thin cheeks, and looking like a traitor.
As soon as noon reached noon in the afternoon, he ordered Zhong Liang to be executed.
Some of the onlookers shed tears for Zhong Liang, but the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
After Zhong Liang's head was cut off, the executioner took his head and hung it on the west gate, saying that the head of the traitor was hanging on the gate for a week as an example.
Hua Zi was very angry, "People have been framed and killed, and they don't even let go of corpses, these people are too cruel." ”
Han Xuening also felt sorry for General Zhong Liang, "It's a pity that a fierce general in Great Wei City, General Zhong Liang was framed by them, they will definitely do enough superficial work to make the people think that he is really collaborating with the enemy." In fact, the people are not stupid, and they can all see that General Zhong Liang was framed. ”
"This world is really dark!" At this time, Bai Zijun also sighed.
Wei Yunxuan said coldly: "General Zhong Liang has been executed, let's not worry too much about this matter." There's a lot more to come. First of all, let's wait here for Mr. Wen and the others to come over and meet after they have arranged the refugees from Tujia Village. Second, we still have to keep an eye on General Zhong Liang's family, although his family is not implicated, but we have to protect it secretly, so that we are worthy of the dead General Zhong Liang. Third, the queen has already begun to move, and it has been cleared in Jindong City, so we must always keep an eye on the movement. In the end, it's a matter of how to see the emperor as soon as possible. ”
Wei Yunxuan is right, there are still many things that have not been dealt with later.
In the end, everyone divided the labor, and Bai Zijun stared at Zhong Liang's family in case of accidents.
Han Xuening and Hua Zi had recently been stationed in the inn and were staring at the city gate to see if their people had entered the city.
Wei Yunxuan went to the street to inquire about the situation, and if there was a big move in Jindong City, they had to deal with it in time.
Three days passed quickly, and Zhong Liang's body had been hanging on the wall of the West City Gate for three days. Nothing special happened in the city, except for the people who went out of the city and walked past the city gates, stopping to look at the corpses on the city walls.
Bai Zijun secretly observed the situation of Zhong Liang's family, and found no suspicious people.
The court promised Zhong Liang's family that they would return Zhong Liang's body to their family after it had been hung at the city gate for seven days.
There are still four days left, and Zhong Liang's headless corpse can be pieced together on the Zhong Mansion.
In addition, the imperial court stipulated that during these seven days, Zhong Liang's family could not hold the funeral, and waited for seven days to do it. Moreover, it can only be held on a small scale.
In the past few days, the Zhong family has been very sad.
The eldest daughter was originally married, but after her father was killed, she came back to live at home with her sister.
It's been four days, and the two sisters have been staying in the house and haven't shown up.
Zhong Liang's son-in-law was a local petty official, and after his father-in-law was killed, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn't even show up.
Still, the officers and soldiers of the Zhong family have not come to trouble in the past few days, which makes this extremely sad family feel a little better.
Wei Yunxuan has been wandering the streets for three days, inquiring about news.
He paid for a prostitute in a brothel and informed him as soon as he heard important news.
There was no major news in the city, but Wei Yunxuan knew that behind the seemingly calm, there was definitely an even more terrifying conspiracy hidden.
That night, after Han Xuening and Huazi had dinner, they observed the movement outside at the window.
Half an hour later, Hua Zi suddenly said to Han Xuening excitedly: "Sister, you see, the few people who came in at the city gate seem to be General Ma and Hua Zijian. ”
Han Xuening immediately walked to the window and looked in the direction pointed by Hua Zi.
Sure enough, there were a few men dressed as citizens who looked very much like Ma Ju and Hua Zijian, and Han Xuening found that about seven or eight meters away from the two people in front, there was a tall man, and this man might be dressed as Wutong.
She hurriedly pointed at the person and said to Huazi: "Sister, look, that person doesn't look like Brother Wutong?" ”
Hua Zi took a closer look and said, "It's really like Brother Wutong, it seems that they have really entered the city." ”
Among the three, Hua Zijian knew where Wei Yunxuan, Han Xuening, and Hua Zi were sleeping, so the two of them were not in a hurry to go downstairs to find someone, just wait for Hua Zijian to take the two upstairs.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Han Xuening and Huazi.
The three of them were gone just now, and the last place they appeared was on the side of the Rulai Inn.
"Sister! It may be that Brother Huazijian, Ma Rough, and Brother Wutong have come upstairs! Huazi thought for a moment and said.
"Sister, you go open the door, be careful!"
After Han Xuening finished telling Huazi, Huazi nodded, "Sister!" I'll be careful. ”
With that, she slowly approached the door and slowly opened it.
Sure enough, the two of them saw the three people on the street just now outside the door.
"Brother Zijian? General Ma? Big Brother Wutong? "The flowers are famous for their solicitation nature.
Hua Zijian took off the two beards under his nose and on his face, and asked curiously, "Sister Huazi, how did you recognize us?" ”
Hua Zi laughed, "You guys are like this, I can't recognize you when I see it." ”
"Several, sit inside!" Han Xuening hurriedly beckoned the three of them to come in and talk.
