(Thanks to the bone giant, the 1000 yuan reward of the book friend Tokyo netizens, and the 100 yuan reward of the book friend's large number being sealed with a small trumpet and the book friend's fried rice must be added with eggs.) Lao Kun is a bit of a Kawen during this time, and it is difficult to write it, so please encourage everyone. That one... With more recommendation votes to support, maybe Lao Kun will be full of thoughts! )
This is a reversal of my fate!
Zhu Cihong's words were like a bolt of lightning on Hou Sui's body. He was dizzy and his limbs were numb.
The Son of Heaven decided to reverse the case, and Jin Yiwei was in charge of the trial, no matter how you look at Yu'er, it is more than auspicious.
But if the Son of Heaven really wants to put Yu'er to death, why would he summon him, a father?
Hou Sui was puzzled.
Zhu Cihong guessed Hou Sui's psychology nine times out of ten, and did not rush to express his position, but deliberately hung him.
The more this is the case, the more Hou Sui feels uneasy.
He was anxious to find out what the Son of Heaven was thinking in his heart, so he simply put out this old face and begged: "Your Majesty, this rebel son must be confused for a while, and I ask Your Majesty to give him a chance to mend his ways." The guilty minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty......"
After Hou Sui said this, Zhu Cihong was overjoyed in his heart.
If it weren't for Hou Fangyu's help, Zhu Cihong would have had to put a lot of effort into pulling Hou Sui out of the mountain. And now things are much simpler, Hou Sui is willing to do anything for Zhu Cihong in order to save the life of his son Hou Fangyu.
Hou Sui's value mainly lies in the containment of Zuo Liangyu. As long as Hou Sui is an official in the court, Zuo Liangyu is unlikely to openly raise troops and rebel. As long as it drags on, it will be the most beneficial to Zhu Cihong and the Ming court.
......
......
Edict of Prison.
Hou Fangyu, who had passed out, was put into a sack by several Jinyi Guard Captains and carried to a flatbed carriage. After that, the captains of the brocade guards also sat up.
The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage slowly drove away from the prison.
Scenes like this are repeated every day.
Nine times out of ten, they will die here, and they will end up in a broken sack, or wrapped in a broken mat, thrown on a carriage and transported to a mass grave outside the city. Eventually, he was dismembered by a wild dog.
Collecting corpses? Who would dare to collect the corpse of a prisoner?
Seeing this carriage, the people passing by hid far away, for fear of getting into trouble if they got into bad luck.
An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the mass grave.
It's just that the captains of the brocade guards didn't throw the sack casually as usual, but untied the bag and dragged Hou Fangyu out.
Smack!
A Jinyi guard lieutenant opened his bow left and right, and slapped Hou Fangyu awake with two slaps.
Hou Fangyu was fanned, and he only felt that the world was spinning.
Finally seeing where he was, Hou Fangyu was startled.
How is he in a graveyard? These Jinyi Guard captains brought him to this mass grave, they didn't want to kill him, right?
"Hmph, count your kid lucky and pick up a dog's life."
A brocade-clothed guard snorted at Hou Fangyu, then pulled out the embroidered spring knife and cut off the hemp rope that bound Hou Fangyu's hands.
Hou Fangyu was overjoyed.
It turned out that these Jinyi Guard captains didn't want to kill him, but to release him.
As to why these people did this, he didn't understand. Could it be that someone spent a lot of money to get him out of prison?
Hou Fangyu was thinking to himself, when another carriage not far away lifted the curtain and walked down.
Hou Fangyu fixed his eyes and looked, who was not his old father Hou Sui!
He immediately understood that his father must have used his connections to rescue him!
"Father, I knew you were going to get me out!"
Hou Fangyu was overjoyed, and took three steps and two steps towards Hou Sui, but was slapped in the face by Hou Sui, who rushed to the scene.
Hou Fangyu was so stumbling that he almost fell, and said in shock and anger: "Father, what are you doing?" ”
"Rebel, you did a good thing!"
Hou Sui roared angrily: "If it weren't for me entering the palace to face the saint and begging Your Majesty, your corpse would have been fed to the dogs in the mass grave by now." ”
Hou Fangyu said angrily: "What did my son do wrong? The son didn't really take refuge in the court, and there was no evidence, why did Jinyiwei arrest people. It's all the faint king..."
"Shut up!"
Hou Sui glared at Hou Fangyu fiercely and scolded; "If you say this rebellious thing again, even if Your Majesty doesn't kill you, the old man will also use the staff to kill you!"
Hou Fangyu was frightened, and subconsciously took two steps back.
At this moment, a Jinyi guard captain coughed twice and said, "It's almost time, it's time to hit the road." ”
Hou Sui wanted to say something more, but the words came to his lips and swallowed raw, shook his head and turned to leave.
The two brocade guards stepped forward and put the wooden flail that had been prepared on Hou Fangyu's body.
Hou Fangyu, who had just been loosened, was put in the flail again, and he was furious.
"What are you doing!"
Hou Sui suddenly stopped his steps and sighed; "The old man pleaded with this old face to His Majesty for you, so as to save your life. But capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. Go to Yazhou, you can do it yourself. ”
Yazhou, do you want to exile him to Yazhou?
Hou Fangyu howled and cried. Yazhou belongs to the Qiongzhou Prefecture, full of miasma, often infested with poisonous snakes and beasts, is a place of exile for sinners, and it is basically impossible for people who go there to come back alive.
Hou Sui couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and after boarding the carriage, he urged the coachman to leave quickly.
At the moment, his mood was complicated.
Although the Son of Heaven promised Rao Yu'er his life, he could not let him continue to live in this world under the name of 'Hou Fangyu'. It was the Jinyi Guard who faked the illusion that Yu'er died in prison, and transported his "corpse" to the mass grave.
As long as Jin Yiwei spreads the news that Yu'er is dead, he can calm the angry people.
On the other hand, Jin Yiwei would follow the secret decree of the Son of Heaven and exile Yu'er to Yazhou to punish him for the crime he intended to surrender.
Although his heart hurts, Hou Sui knows that this is the best result he can strive for.
From the perspective of the Son of Heaven, it is not easy to be so magnanimous.
It was for the Son of Heaven to forgive Yu'er's grace, and Hou Sui was also ready to swear to die in revenge. No matter what the Son of Heaven tells him to do, he will follow it without hesitation.
......
......
Hou Fangyu, who was in chains, was thrown onto a black-roofed carriage. The windows of the carriage were sealed with wooden strips, so that there was no view of the outside at all.
Hou Fangyu kept scolding, but he didn't get any reply.
Gradually, Hou Fangyu also got tired, and fell asleep.
After some time, the carriage stopped.
Hou Fangyu was still asleep when he was woken up by the captain of the Jinyi Guard and pulled out of the carriage.
In a daze, Hou Fangyu saw a majestic city wall.
Looking at it intently, Hou Fangyu gasped.
Hiss!
Xi'an Gate of Nanjing Imperial City!
Isn't he already out of the city on his way to Yazhou? Why did you go around and return to Nanjing?
