Chapter 23: Chongkang is arrested
"Your Majesty has announced you, come in with me!" Li Gongzheng was standing on the steps, looking at Su Yu condescendingly and said.
Su Yu stepped up the steps in response, looking at the majestic and solemn Weiyang Palace, Su Yu's heart rippled, the last time he came here, it was when he was a child......
"Lord Su?" Seeing Su Yu in a daze, Li Gongzheng reminded.
Only then did Su Yu come back to his senses and continue to walk towards the hall.
Entering the palace, Su Yu presented the record books of the past few years, as well as the account books taken from the Hou Mansion when he left, to Emperor Yuan.
Emperor Yuan looked at it seriously for a long time, and Su Yu was a little apprehensive, afraid that he would see some clues.
"Good! Su Yu, you have done a good job on this errand, and it is not in vain for so many years of cultivation and teaching by your uncle. Emperor Yuan put down the booklet in his hand and said with a little approval.
When Su Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty has an overreputation, this is a matter within the responsibility of Weichen." ”
Emperor Yuan smiled and asked, "Hening Hou can be caught?" ”
On the way back to Chang'an, his son Chongkang was not in the Hou Mansion at the time and was still being investigated. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. Su Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.
"It doesn't matter. He can't escape. Emperor Yuan stretched out his hand and motioned for Su Yu to get up, "The ...... surnamed Gong"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's will, you have been executed on the spot. But ......"
Emperor Yuan was puzzled: "But what? ”
Su Yu took a deep breath, and then said tentatively: "According to Weichen's investigation in the past few years, I learned that it was because the powerful minister Cui Zhi used his wife and daughter as a threat that Gong Suzhong had no choice but to do it, and in the end, he failed to save his wife and daughter. Only then did he retreat to the frontier. ”
"Is that true?" Emperor Yuan didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret.
Su Yu saw that Emperor Yuan didn't seem to blame himself, so he also replied: "It's true." ”
Emperor Yuan sighed and said, "In this way, this palace Su Zhong is also a poor person. But even so, there is a reason for his words, I have lost my whole family. ”
Seeing Emperor Yuan say this, Su Yu didn't dare to say anything more.

"It's inconvenient for you to show up, hide around for a while, I'll go to the market to buy some early dry food, and we'll leave Henin County." An Jing said.
Mo Bunuo nodded, covered his straw hat, and hid in a secluded alley next to him.
An Jing was buying water bags, dried meat, and some dry food such as naan. Suddenly, I smelled the smell of meat buns.
It's a beef bun! It is only in this Xinjiang region that you can eat beef, and when you change to the Central Plains, you have to wait for the old cattle to die before you can eat it, which is very rare.
An Jing took three steps and ran to the front of the stall in two steps: "Two meat buns!" ”
"Okay!"
"Wait, let's have four!" An Jing thought that this might be the last time she would eat beef, so she thought about buying more.
"Haha! Childe is so good! As the stall owner spoke, he quickly picked up four hot buns and came out, "Four buns!" ”
After paying, An Jing just walked into the box when he heard the stall owner's voice: "You son, look at the clothes are also glamorous!" How can you do the act of stealing buns! Old man, this is a small business! ”
As soon as the words fell, a pair of people ran towards the bun stall.
It happened that Mo Bunuo also walked over, "What happened?" ”
An Jing shook her head, and the two of them poked their heads out of the wall to take a look.
It doesn't matter if you look at this, An Jing exhaled: "It's Chongkang!" ”
As he spoke, he was going to pass. Mo Bunuo hurriedly grabbed her: "If even Chongkang is wanted, it means that you are not safe, fortunately, everything has been placed, this Hening, we really can't keep it." ”
"However, now Chongkang is the only descendant of the house......" Jing Jing hesitated.
Mo Bunuo knew An Jing's thoughts, but he had to persuade her: "Xiao Jing, I know you want to save him, but those people who hunted down and killed the Hou Mansion were sent by Chang'an, so we can only think about it in the long run." ”
An Jing thought about it carefully, in fact, what Mo Bunuo said was right, and no matter how idle Chongkang was, he had no family relationship with himself at all. It's just that now he and Mo Bunuo are also difficult to protect, there are many people on the other side, Mo Bunuo is still injured, and there is no chance of winning at all. Moreover, since Heninghou did not die in the Hou Mansion, it means that he has other plans today, and he should be safe in a short time.
An Jing looked at Chongkang, who was being escorted away in a prison car in the distance, and asked Mo Bunuo: "Have I become ruthless?" ”
Mo Bunuo glanced at the convoy that was gradually moving away, turned his head and replied, "You just have grown." ”
"Let's go!" Mo Bunuo looked at An Jing, who was still in place behind him, "It's time for us to leave." ”
"Where?" An Jing's voice came from the wind, and she didn't look back.
Mo Bunuo smiled slightly, "Chang'an" and continued to walk forward.
