Chapter 304: Before leaving
() Xue Tan's voice exploded like thunder in the calm streets.
"Who...... Who's there? β
The old bustard looked around in a panic and hugged the package in his hand.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, Gui Gong hurriedly turned around and fled, but was blocked by a group of officers and soldiers who rushed up.
"You two made it all together?"
Chang Lei had an unbelievable expression, crying and laughing.
"Bring them back and wait for them to fall!" Chen Dongshan's face sank, and he ordered his subordinates to bring a few people back to the barracks first.
Only then did Xue Tan settle down.
Even if Governor Lu has great ability, presumably, it is impossible to go back to the barracks to ask for someone.
Capital.
The capital has been surprisingly calm these days.
Qi Yuan frowned, and was discussing with the sixth master in the East Palace.
"Sixth Master, how are you preparing for Nanzhao's affairs?"
The sixth master stroked his pale beard and smiled.
"The prince doesn't need to be anxious, the old man naturally has the old man's way, and besides, the Nanzhao is located on the border of our dynasty, even if they plan to do something, we can call in time for support."
"I'm not afraid."
Qi Yuan was sad, "I'm afraid that Yin Qingqi will be persecuted when the time comes, you must know that many people are staring at her now and know that she is my weakness." β
"Huh." The sixth master squinted his eyes and looked Qi Yuan up and down.
"Is the prince soft-hearted?"
Just a few days ago, Qi Yuan was still arguing with Yin Qingqi, and the sixth master was in full view.
"Prince, don't forget the emperor's advice."
In the final analysis, the sixth master was also ordered by the emperor to come to assist Qi Yuan in handling the government, before the emperor fell ill, he had considered that after he ascended to immortal, the capital might be in chaos, and Dong Yu stationed in the capital has always been a big threat.
And the sixth master spoke to the emperor, naturally he also had his reasons.
"Sixth Master."
Qi Yuan touched the teacup in his hand, and a trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
"Don't forget, you're my man now, not Huang Amma's."
Although this is a big rebellion, after all, now that the grass and trees are soldiers, any slightest wind and grass can make Qi Yuan tremble.
"Prince, don't worry." The sixth master closed the fan, and his face sank, "The old man should be loyal to you, and the work of dogs and horses is needless to say." β
"That's good." Qi Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I just saw Grandpa Su's energy, but something is wrong."
When Qi Yuan heard this, his pupils contracted extremely much, and finally dilated suddenly.
"This father-in-law Su seems to have ulterior motives for Concubine Shu, could it be that he was also bought by Concubine Shu?"
"It's a possibility." Qi Yuan nodded.
"Since the emperor was seriously ill, Concubine Shu has been seeking power and usurping the throne, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, after the death of the queen, the power entrusted to her is too great."
"When E-Niang died, was the palace maid who took me out of the palace still there?" Qi Yuan frowned, remembering the conversation he had with Concubine Shu in the harem that day.
"She's the proof of the crime."
"Ugh." The sixth master shook his head, "Back to the prince, I sent someone to find that woman, but I couldn't find any trace of her anywhere, some people said that she had died of illness a long time ago, and some people said that she was killed by Concubine Shu." β
"Lady!"
Qi Yuan slapped the table, and the teacups on the table "jingled".
More than ten years ago, Qi Yuan's mother had just died, and Concubine Shu was afraid that this sister-in-law would threaten her status in the future, so she asked a palace maid to secretly take Qi Yuan out of the city, wanting to destroy the corpse, but the palace maid thought about it and couldn't be ruthless, and finally sent Qi Yuan back to the palace.
This incident also made the emperor angry, and the palace maid did not say the name of the concubine in the end in order to protect her family, and Qi Yuan didn't know anything about what the emperor did.
Some say she was kicked out of the palace, others say she was imprisoned in a dungeon.
Of course, Qi Yuan searched everywhere, but he couldn't find even the slightest bit of news about the palace maid back then.
"The prince doesn't need to be anxious." The sixth master admonished, "A little concubine is not to be afraid, the most important thing is the sixth elder brother." β
"How is Dong Yu now?" Qi Yuan remembered that Dong Yu was still waiting in the dungeon at this time, "Let's go, follow me to Dali Temple to have a look." β
Qi Yuan took the sixth master and rushed to Dali Temple overnight.
Dali Temple is already sparsely populated, not to mention that the dungeon is gloomy, and no one can help but doze off.
When Qi Yuan arrived, several guards were sleeping on the table, and Qi Yuan coughed and woke up a few people.
"Presumptuous!"
The sixth master taught a lesson, "The prince doesn't know how to greet him when he comes?" β
Qi Yuan frowned, remembering Liang Chenshan he had met here a few days ago. I thought he was a usable day, but I didn't expect that he was also the lackey of the sixth elder brother!
"I'm going to interrogate Dong Yu."
Qi Yuan's face turned cold, and under the leadership of the guards, he came to the innermost cell.
This is also the place where some death row prisoners are held, and Yin Qingqi was hidden here by the sixth elder brother at the beginning.
Qi Yuan frowned, the entire cell exuded a smell of decay, and the smell of damp mold in the air made Qi Yuan a little sick to his stomach.
"Why do you give this to General Dong?"
Qi Yuan looked at the steamed buns on the ground that were already hard like stones, and a plate of rotten vegetables.
"People used to be generals, and you treated him like this?"
"This ......" The guard's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know how to take it.
"Well done."
Qi Yuan sneered and looked at Dong Yu, who was wearing a prison uniform in the corner of the cell.
"General Dong, don't come unharmed."
The guard placed a chair on the ground and waited for Qi Yuan to sit down, and then exited the cell.
"Heh, Qi Yuan."
Dong Yu's face was much older, and the messy stubble was now like a sleepy lion.
"Prince, why are you so free to see the old man?"
"I can't rest assured of you."
Qi Yuan pondered for a moment before he said, "I'm going to go out for a few days when I come in, and before I leave, I want to do everything that needs to be done." β
Dong Yu's expression was stunned.
"You're here to kill me?"
"I'm not going to do it here." Qi Yuan sneered and killed him? Qi Yuan was also afraid of getting his hands dirty.
"At noon tomorrow, I will have someone drag you to the entrance of the vegetable market to behead you and hang your head for three days as punishment."
"Okay, okay."
Dong Yu snorted twice in a row and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that I, Dong Yu, would be wise and wise, but in the end I would be defeated by you two little cubs." β
"Even if the emperor is still alive now, he can't help me to let you bastard take advantage of the loophole."
"Huang Ama himself is not dead." Qi Yuan's eyes sank, and he looked at him coldly.
"Hahaha." Dong Yu suddenly laughed inexplicably.
"Prince, you are too naΓ―ve, do you really think that it is a good thing for the emperor to leave this mess to you now? Although it is said that tiger poison does not eat children, the actions of the sixth elder brother should be punished. β
"You don't really think that the reason why the emperor didn't kill the sixth elder brother is just because he is the emperor's heir? He's testing you to see if you have the ability. β
