It's still the New Year, and ordinary people are still enjoying a rare lazy sleep in the year, but the shopkeeper and the guys of the Qingqiu Inn have already been picked up, standing far away from the door against the cold wind, shivering all over, not only cold, but also frightened.

Within a radius of 100 meters of the entire inn, there were already forbidden troops in bright armor, surrounding the place, and the sharp spears and knives shone white and seeping in the rising sun, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

The innkeeper secretly complained, he opened the door to do business, although I don't know who these officials are here to arrest, but who dares to live in his shop after such a trouble? Just as he sighed, several forbidden soldiers who had entered the store first to arrest people came out, holding a man tightly in their hands, unkempt and full of alcohol, and their eyes were still red from a hangover.

"Who dares to arrest Lao Tzu? Don't want to let it go? The drunken man shouted to himself, and struggled with his head held high, but he was already covered with thick chains around his neck, and his hands and feet were tied firmly, and he could not move at all.

Two more men were escorted out, a man and a woman, the man was as strong as a cow, and the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, but they did not resist too much, the man hung his head, and the woman looked at the drunk coldly, and they did not say a word and let the forbidden army take them away.

The forbidden army came and went like the wind, and soon disappeared outside the inn, and everything was normal on the street, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Zizhen was covered with a black cloth cover, his face was all covered, he couldn't see the outside at all, and the people outside couldn't see what he looked like, and it didn't take long for him to be taken to a place, and the forbidden army holding him was very rough and slammed him to the ground, and then there was a sound like closing the door.

The ground is smashed and pressed mud, cold and hard, Xu Zizhen was hurt in the back for a while, cursed and sat up, his hands and wrists were tied, but fortunately it was not back-bound, as soon as he reached out and took off the cloth cover on his head, he looked at it and saw that he was in a big room, with high beams, a small skylight on the top, and there were no other windows, only a door was closed.

Ohno and Zhuoya were next to him, which made him reassured that his arrest was not a matter of Ji Lu's plan, which made him feel a little surprised, but he believed that the old fox of Taishi Xiao would definitely not be willing to let him die now.

The lack of windows on the wall does not mean that no one can peek, and he doesn't dare to say anything to Ohno now, but he just secretly glanced at him, and then scolded loudly: "Someone! What the is this place? Why did you arrest Lao Tzu? There is a live one for Lao Tzu to jump out! ”

Oh Ye also scolded, noisy, but there was no sound outside the door, no one paid attention to them at all, Zhuo Ya was still sitting quietly next to him, expressionless, and he didn't even bother to look at Xu Zizhen.

Above the court, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun, who looked sleepy, sat listlessly, yawned a lot and asked, "What else is the matter with Zhongqing?" If you have nothing to do, you can leave. ”

The eunuch beside him was about to shout out the word retreat, but he saw a person standing up in the hall: "The minister has a book!" ”

Standing up was the privy envoy Mu Xianting, who was also a solid supporter of the current Great Xia Emperor, Chongzong had no choice but to ask lazily, "What is the matter with Mu Qing?" Go ahead. ”

Mu Xianting's expression was solemn: "Your Majesty, Xu Zizhen spread rumors and made trouble in the market restaurant yesterday to discuss the government and politics, and the minister has detained him. ”

"Xu Zizhen?" Chongzong was stunned for a moment, and then woke up suddenly, "You arrested him?" What kind of rumors did he fabricate? ”

Mu Xianting's expression remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly: "This person can predict the affairs of the world and even more predict...... His Majesty will pass on the throne to which prince. ”

Wow! The entire court was in turmoil.

It is already a capital crime to talk about state affairs in vain, let alone talk about the right to inherit the throne, how can a small grass man talk about this? Moreover, everyone present in Xu Zizhen's affairs knew that he was not even a citizen of Great Xia, he could only be said to be a defector of the Song Dynasty.

Chongzong's face didn't look good, but he didn't have a seizure, he just endured his unhappiness and said: "This person has a meritorious role in saving Luo'er, and Luo'er is ...... Mu Aiqing, you, let him go. ”

He didn't say everything, but everyone knew what Emperor Ludao wanted to say, Princess Yuping was originally going to marry Xu Zizhen, but now the emperor insisted on changing the princess to Mu Xianting's son, so he owes Xu Zizhen a lot of reason.

Mu Xianting did not receive the order: "Your Majesty thinks twice, this person is arrogant and bold in nature, if he is allowed to leave, it is difficult to ensure that there is any nonsense in his mouth, and His Majesty's reputation must not be tarnished, not to mention that the defeat of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is caused by this person, so the minister thinks that Xu Zizhen will never stay again!" Your Majesty, please take a clear look! After saying that, he bowed down and fell to the ground.

Having said this, it is already very clear that Mu Xianting is loyal to the emperor, and will never allow the imperial power to be insulted and slandered in any way, so it is also very appropriate to want Xu Zizhen to die, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces invariably turned their eyes to Xiao Taishi, who was standing silently on the side, the two have always been mortal enemies, according to the old habit, if one party impeaches someone, the other party will definitely protect it, but today everyone is a little disappointed, Xiao Taishi did not react at all, as if he was asleep.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty objected, and even more officials from Mu Xianting's faction spoke out in agreement, Chongzong's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, and the chief eunuch shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

The emperor didn't speak, but Mu Xianting had already got an answer.

……

In that room in the middle of nowhere, Xu Zizhen had stopped shouting, for a whole hour, no one paid attention to him at all, his voice was smoking, he simply lay on the ground and looked at the roof leisurely, humming an unknown tune in his mouth, but his mind was thinking.

Few people know the Tao of Infernal Affairs, in addition to himself and Daye, there is also a Yu Qi, and now there are only more Chongzong Li Qianshun, the less people know about the Tao of Infernal Affairs, the better, otherwise he will die a miserable death, but now he is a little bottomless in his heart, I don't know if the old fox of Chongzong will cooperate with him, whether he can cooperate well.

The sky gradually darkened, and a whole day had passed since he was arrested in the morning, and Xu Zizhen was already screaming with hunger, but the forbidden army that arrested him seemed to have forgotten them, and they didn't even send in a bowl of water.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of unlocking outside the gate, and then a rough servant walked in, holding a food box in his hand, followed by two tall forbidden soldiers.

There are three large sea bowls in the food box, and a bowl full of rice is piled with a piece of fat and oily meat, and a pair of chopsticks are inserted diagonally, which is fragrant.

Xu Zizhen was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and at this time, he couldn't bear it, and raised his chin to the two forbidden soldiers: "Come here, pick this thing for Lao Tzu." After saying that, he raised his wrist, and the chain clanged.

"You ......"

One of the forbidden soldiers was furious, and the other patted him on the shoulder and sneered: "Why bother with him, hurry up and let him finish eating and go on the road, don't rub it in." ”

Yo, decapitated rice?
