Chapter 885: The Wind Changes
Qian Qianyi's prisoner cart staggered and jolted forward.
Less than a mile behind their carriage, a carriage followed unhurriedly.
The carriage was not much on the outside, but it was quite delicate on the inside, and it was not very bumpy, and a woman was lying reclining under a brocade quilt, quietly flipping through a book in her hand.
Outside the carriage, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman with a tight waist and very handsome dress, she sat in front of the carriage, her eyes looked ahead, and from time to time she looked to the left and right, and suddenly, she frowned slightly, got up and walked into the carriage.
"Miss, there are a few more waves of people, it looks like they're going to rob people nearby." The heroic woman looked at the reclining woman and said in a cold tone.
This reclining woman was Liu Ruyi, who followed Qian Qianyi's prisoner car, ready to watch him enter Beijing.
She quietly turned the page, shook her head slightly, and said, "If you really dare to save this way, there is a chance, but now there is no chance at all." ”
"I saw them take out their weapons, and they might have to do it." The heroic woman said. Her name is Su Xi, and she was about to be sold into the Qinglou by the vicious eldest brother and sister-in-law, but she was bought by Liu Ru and introduced as the Jinlan sisters.
Liu Ru sat up, frowned slightly, and then said: "This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Qian Qianyi is a repeat offender, once he is robbed, it will definitely anger the imperial court, and the entire Beizhili will move, at this time, not only can not save people, but also harm all of them." ”
Su Xi looked at Liu Ruis and said puzzledly: "Miss, that Qian Qianyi is a person with little affection, and you didn't really marry into the Qian family, so why bother to go to Beijing to rescue you?" ”
Liu Ru didn't tell the secret in her heart, because she wasn't sure herself, just a little hope. Looking at Su Xi, she chuckled and said, "Mr. Qian is guilty this time because of me, even if it is not for this friendship, I should come to the rescue." ”
Su Xi felt that Liu Ruyi's reasons were untenable, but she also knew her identity well, so she didn't ask, and said, "I went out to stare outside, and I can't let them affect us." ”
Liu Ru nodded lightly, sighing in her heart, judging from her experience over the years, when she got here, these people had an excuse to go, as long as they were favored.
The captain of the squad escorting Qian Qianyi rode a tall horse, with a sword at his waist, and a spear stuck in his horse, his face was indifferent, and his eyes were calm and went straight forward.
The escorted officials also seemed to feel it, and their expressions were tense, and they quietly approached, surrounding the prisoner cart, vigilant in all directions.
Seeing that the gate of the capital was in sight, the atmosphere was frozen, and a servant stepped forward and whispered beside the team leader: "Captain, there are still three or four miles, there will be no accident, right?" ”
If someone is robbed in front of the gate of the capital, their group of people will have no way to survive except for committing suicide and apologizing.
The team leader snorted coldly and said, "After crossing the Yangtze River, I will always follow, and at this time, give them a hundred dares and dare not take half a step forward!" ”
The officer behind him looked around again and said, "Do you want to notify the people in the capital to come out to greet you and make sure that nothing goes wrong?" ”
"Not necessarily!" The team leader raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is no reason for our credit to be given to others in vain. Notify down, everyone is on guard, if someone comes to rob the prisoner, don't leave your hands, let go of your hands and feet, and kill no mercy! ”
When the official heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Obey!" ”
With the squad leader's order, the entire escort team was instantly awe-inspiring, and the evil aura was permeated.
The escort team turned into a defensive formation, waiting for it, and not far away, the people who were hiding their heads and tails, and the people who followed the trend instantly quieted down.
Liu Ruye's carriage quietly stopped, and even left the official road, taking the initiative to clear up the relationship.
Two miles in front of the escort procession, fifty large horses stood in unison, on which sat cavalrymen with bright armor, swords, bows and arrows, etc., and the leader held a telescope and watched the escort team from afar.
His binoculars moved around, and finally he put them down and looked at them with a cold face.
They have been in front of the escort team all the way, always vigilant, but they have never waited for the opportunity. Seeing that they were about to arrive in the capital, that group of people would definitely not dare to make a move.
Qian Qianyi in the prisoner car also felt that his expressionless face was gradually solemnizing, and he shrank there, and his heart became sharply worried.
If someone comes to rob him, then he has no room to turn over.
The prisoner cart slowly moved forward, and the anxiety increased violently, and the gate of the capital not far away became clearer and clearer, and fear made his body tremble slowly.
Not far behind the prisoner car, there were more than 20 people in the dark, staring at the prison car, and they were about to move several times, but they didn't come forward.
The squad leader deliberately slowed down, and the more he got to this point, the more cautious he became.
Not long after, one mile or two passed, and I saw that I was in front of the moat, and the person who followed secretly never appeared.
Whether it was the squad leader of the escort team or the fifty cavalry who was secretly protecting, they all sneered secretly and escorted Qian Qianyi into the city.
Qian Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief, his face was relaxed, he was saved.
Sitting in the prison car, looking at the strange and familiar capital that was gradually lively, he was very emotional, and at the same time there was a touch of calm and abnormal fear.
Liu Ru, who was following behind, also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, Qian Qianyi did not go into a dead end, and he could still rescue one or two.
At the same time, looking at the gate of this unfamiliar capital, there was an inexplicable trace of familiarity and joy in my heart.
Su Xi walked into the carriage, looked at Liu Ru is and said, "Miss, are we staying at the guest house?" ”
Liu Ru lowered the curtains, thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile: "Let's buy a yard, maybe we will live in the capital for a while." ”
Su Xi didn't have any surprise, and said, "Okay, I'll go to Yaxing and ask after I enter the city." ”
Liu Ru nodded, opened the curtains again, quietly looked at the scenery on both sides, and secretly said in his heart, "Can you only expect an unexpected encounter?" ’
After Qian Qianyi entered Beijing, the cabinet quickly received the news, and a cadre of auxiliary ministers met again, and the Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple, and the six ministries moved one after another.
The edict of the cabinet was clearly issued, which alarmed the entire capital.
"What, the 'Clan Demote' promulgated?"
"Did the emperor give in? Is the Cabinet really in power? ”
"According to the cabinet's policy, I'm afraid it will disappear several princes after ten years......"
"Who said before that the emperor wanted to 'reconcile' with the outside world? Where is this half-point reconciliation? ”
"By the way, have you heard? Many people disappeared in the capital, all of whom were related to the Donglin Party, including Yang Lian, who had just been pardoned, and Wang Ji and others......"
"This is not the key, I heard that Qian Qianyi will be escorted to Beijing today, and he will be tried publicly in Dali Temple!"
"Where is this 'reconciliation', it is clearly to kill everything......"
The wind in the capital turned rapidly and fell on Qian Qianyi and the Donglin Party. After all, whether it is Qian Qianyi or the Donglin Party, it is the core concern of Daming.
