Chapter 85: Helpless
The emperor nodded and said:
"Well, okay, I promise you, if you release Wan Qing and the prime minister still won't let go of the girl, then I will personally go to the prime minister's mansion to find the prime minister and let him arrest the girl."
The queen said seriously:
"Well, that's good, then I'll go and retire."
The emperor waved his hand and said:
"Well, the emperor should go up."
The queen mother immediately walked out of the emperor's study, and then took a phoenix sedan chair to the county lord's house and went to find the county lord.
The county lord and Liu Feng were also anxiously waiting for the news of the queen's mother in the house.
Liu Feng was full of anxiety and asked Lord Chongxian:
"County lord, you said that this time, can the queen mother rescue Mei Niang from the hands of the prime minister?"
The county lord said seriously:
"Liu Shaoxia, please rest assured, no matter how presumptuous this prime minister is, he still has to give the emperor and the queen's face, this time, the queen will definitely be able to rescue Miss Qin, let's wait patiently for a while."
At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in and reported to the county lord:
"Lord Qiyu, the queen mother is here."
As soon as the county lord and Liu Feng heard the news that the queen mother had come to the house, their faces suddenly showed excited expressions.
The county lord then said:
"Hurry up and invite the queen into the house, and I'll go to greet you."
With that, the guard turned and trotted out of the room.
The county lord and Liu Feng also immediately went out of the room to greet the queen.
The queen mother was soon quickly led by the guards to the mansion of the county lord.
Seeing this, the county lord and Liu Feng immediately stepped forward to give a salute.
Liu Feng couldn't wait to ask the queen:
"Niangniang, what do you say about Mei Niang? Mother, you must find a way to save her! ”
The county lord immediately said to Liu Feng:
"Liu Shaoxia, don't be in a hurry to ask Miss Qin about it, let's go to the room first."
The queen mother said seriously to Liu Feng:
"Liu Feng, don't worry, Mei Niang's business is my business, I will definitely save her, I came here to save Mei Niang."
The county lord then said:
"Mother, please, let's go into the house and talk."
With that, they went to the side room.
The county lord asked the maidservant to serve tea immediately.
When they came to the room and sat down, the county lord said to the queen:
"Niangniang, you said that you came to the official mansion to save Miss Qin, how can you say this?"
The queen then said:
"I went to the emperor, according to the emperor's meaning, she asked me to release Wan Qing immediately, and then took Wan Qing to the prime minister, and asked the prime minister to release Mei Niang again, if the prime minister still doesn't let go, then the emperor will personally go to the prime minister and let him release him."
When Liu Feng heard the words of the queen mother, he immediately said with a tangled face:
"What! let Wan Qing go, how can the emperor do this? ”
The county lord immediately said to Liu Feng:
"Liu Shaoxia, how can you talk like this, what the emperor said is a holy decree, and the queen is also there, don't talk nonsense!"
The queen mother then said seriously:
"Liu Feng is right, don't talk about him as a county adult, how can I not think like Liu Feng, but, after all, the prime minister's status in Jinfeng Country, there is no way, even the emperor and I do have to respect him for three points, the reality is like this, I am helpless, I really want to keep Wan Qing in prison for a few more days, but now that the prime minister has arrested Mei Niang, the matter of saving Mei Niang is urgent, so I can only do it according to the emperor's wishes, and immediately release Wan Qing, and then, I will take him to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the Prime Minister, Let him let Mei Niang go, and this matter will pass like this. ”
Although Liu Feng's heart was full of entanglement and depression, he was helpless, after all, even the emperor and the queen couldn't do anything about this Wanjinbao and Wanqing, and he himself was even less worth mentioning.
The county lord then asked the queen:
"What does the queen mean, let Wan Qingwan young master go now?"
The queen mother nodded and said:
"Well, county lord, you will immediately send someone to release Wan Qing, and I will personally take Wan Qing to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a while, and let the Prime Minister release Mei Niang."
The county lord hugged his fists:
"Okay, then the lower official will go to the prison immediately and bring Wan Qing Wan Young Master to you, and then Niang Niang will take Wan Young Master to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the Prime Minister as soon as possible, and rescue Miss Qin as soon as possible."
The queen said seriously:
"Well, then the county lord should go and do this."
The county lord immediately took a few steps back with his fists clenched, then turned around and walked out the door.
Liu Feng was full of unhappiness and said:
"This is really cheap, Na Wanqing, I really can't do anything about him."
Queen Mother says:
"Liu Feng, the things in the palace, I won't say anything to you for a while, but Wanjia is really important to the royal family and Jin Fengguo, so the emperor has no choice but to give them face, don't worry, when Mei Niang is rescued this time, I will personally send guards to send you to Lin'an County, the prime minister and Wan Qing will not dare to trouble you again, you will live together when you go to Lin'an County in the future, and never go back to Kyoto."
Liu Feng nodded and said:
"Okay, everything is up to the queen's arrangement."
The county lord immediately took a sedan chair to the prison and came to the door of the cell where Wan Qing was held.
I saw Wan Qing lying on the bed in the cell, full of leisurely closing his eyes and recuperating, holding Erlang's legs high, looking cynical.
There was also a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of the door of the cell on one side, and the white paper was still clean and clean, without any ink color.
The guards standing outside the cell saw the county lord suddenly come in, and immediately clasped their fists and said:
"See your Excellency."
The county lord then said to the guards on the side:
"Open the cell door."
The guard then took out the key to the old door and unlocked the iron lock on the door.
As soon as Wan Qing heard the county lord say to open the cell door, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then suddenly got up from the bed, looked at the county lord and teased:
"Yo! Lord County, what does this mean, you asked your guards to open the door of the cell, you want to let me out! ”
The county lord walked into the cell and said with a serious face:
"Young Master Wan, the queen mother specially ordered the official to let you out, please come with me."
When Wan Qing heard the words of the county lord, he couldn't help laughing twice and said:
"Don't! Look at the confession book I wrote, this young master didn't write a word, so he went out like this, how could the county lord let me be embarrassed to meet the queen? ”
The prefectural lord then asked:
"Young Master Wan, what do you mean by this? Didn't you try to get me to let you go before, why didn't you go out in such a hurry today? ”
Wan Qing walked up to the county adult, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Lord County, it's not that I don't want to go out, but, you see, didn't this queen mother say that she wanted me to write a confession or something, and Young Master Ben didn't write a word, so it's better to wait for me to write this confession, and it's not too late for you to let me go again, besides, Young Master Ben has never been in this cell for a few days."
The county lord was full of depression and said:
"Young Master Wan, you ......"
Wan Qing said seriously:
"If the county lord wants me to let me out, then ask the county lord to write my confession, and then hand it over to the queen for me, just say that I wrote it myself, in this way, it's not very beautiful for me to go out."
When the county lord heard Wan Qing's unreasonable request, he suddenly looked depressed and said:
"Young Master Wan, what are you doing! The queen mother let you go now, there is no requirement that you have to write a good confession, so, you don't need to write this, let's hurry up and follow me, the queen mother is still waiting for you. ”
Wan Qing smiled bitterly twice and said:
"That's not good, if the county lord doesn't agree to write this confession for the young master, the young master will stay in this cell and won't go anywhere."
The county lord was suddenly full of confusion and said:
"Young Master Wan, didn't you deliberately make things difficult for your own official?"
Wan Qing said seriously:
"Young Master Ben deliberately made things difficult for you, what's the matter, you are not convinced, right, if you are not convinced, you can not listen to me, and Young Master Ben has no intention of persecuting you."
Seeing that Wan Qing insisted on this, the county lord was also helpless, and said with a lot of entanglement:
"Okay, since Young Master Wan asked the official to write this confession for you, then the official will help you write it."
After speaking, the county lord immediately yelled at the guards outside the door:
"Someone, hurry up and wait for the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and bring me the wooden table."
After speaking, the guards outside the cell immediately moved pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and wooden tables into the cells for the county adults.
Wan Qing said with a smug face:
"County lord, please, it just so happens that this young master can also take a good look and have a long insight!"
The county lord said with a serious face:
"Young Master Wan is serious, if this official hadn't been ordered by the queen mother to take you out immediately, I wouldn't have agreed to your ridiculous request."
Wan Qing then said:
"Then since the queen mother is still in a hurry to let me out, then you don't have to rub it off, hurry up and write a confession, let's go!"
The county lord ignored Wan Qing, but sat down directly and began to write quickly on the white paper.
Wan Qing glanced at the side from time to time full of joy, full of pride.
After a while, the county lord wrote dense black characters on the white paper, and the three big characters of the confession on it were also particularly eye-catching.
Seeing this, Wan Qing immediately picked up the white paper full of words on the wooden table, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, smiled from time to time, and said:
"Okay, the county lord is very literate, this word is really affectionate, I believe that the queen mother will be very happy after reading my confession, thank you so much for the county lord's kindness, I can accept this gift."
The county lord then stood up and said:
"Young Master Wan, now this confession has been written for you by the official, without further ado, let's get out of prison."
Wan Qing was stunned for a moment, suddenly sat on the bed on the side, and then deliberately held one of his feet, and said to the county lord:
"Ouch! My foot suddenly twisted, and now I can't walk, I really can't walk freely, what can I do now? I'm really anxious. ”
