Chapter 196: Blood Oath
With a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on the front and motionless.
Changping threw himself into Li Guifei's arms and cried loudly, Li Guifei kept wiping her tears, looking at the emperor with teary eyes: "Your Majesty, how can this be?" A person who was fine yesterday, how can he say that he is dead when he dies? …… Mi'er, Mi'er, poor child, what are you going to do in the future......"
Soon, Vinson and his subordinates carried in a corpse with sad expressions.
One of the eunuchs who was accompanying him hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's bedroom, and it is very unlucky to carry the corpse into it......"
Before the eunuch's voice fell, the emperor said angrily: "Get out! ”
Changping was crying in the arms of the concubine, but without saying a word, he got up violently and kicked the eunuch in front of the door, kicking the eunuch's face full of blood, his teeth falling to the ground, screaming and retreating in a hurry.
The corpse was wrapped in a black cloth, and the subordinates gently placed it on the smooth floor of the dormitory, and stood quietly aside.
Changping endured the great grief in his heart, struggled to rush forward, and untied the black cloth. What caught her eye was a male corpse that had been cut beyond recognition by a sharp weapon and slightly swollen by the river, and his death was extremely miserable.
Looking at the corpse in a daze, there was nothing left in Changping's eyes.
Is this my husband? That smiling face, who is not serious all day long, who loves money and is lustful, but who always makes people giggle?
The emperor glanced at the corpse. Then he closed his eyes. Dry hands in their sleeves. It has been clenched into a fist. The body was covered in scars and was wounded in the chest. Pierced with a sharp weapon. Leaving a half-minute long wound. After being soaked in river water, the mouth is purple-black. Like a child's grin. It's terrifying.
"Are you sure about Fang Zheng? Could you be mistaken? "With the last bit of luck. The emperor asked quietly.
Vinson was in tears. Kneeling and playing: "...... It was identified by the generals and sergeants of the forbidden army guarding the palace gate last night. Master Fang...... It was wearing this clothes that left the gate of the underground palace, and the appearance of this corpse was no longer recognizable. But his stature and height are very similar to Lord Fang. Wei Chen felt that this corpse should be Lord Fang'......" Despite the grief in his heart, Sen still said his judgment without a trace.
He let out a long sigh. The emperor's face is covered with frost.
"Mi'er! Mi'er! What happened to you? You speak! You're crying! Don't scare me......" Li Guifei said anxiously.
The emperor bowed his head. But he saw that the chief was staring straight at the corpse. Motionless, it was already a dead ash. The pretty face that is usually smart and vivid is now expressionless. Neither tears. and neither do they cry. Turned a deaf ear to Li Guifei's call. Shaped like a dead man.
Li Guifei kept shaking her anxiously, but Changping was like a lifeless puppet, and she didn't react.
The emperor felt a pain in his heart, and was about to open the small yellow door and said outside the door: "Your Majesty, hundreds of civil and military officials gather outside the palace gate to ask for a meeting." ”
The emperor sneered so coincidentally, he was afraid that I would kill you to accompany Fang Zheng's funeral, so did you all come to cry rats?
"Carry the corpse of the upper Zheng and go to the Jinluan Palace!" After the emperor finished speaking, he walked towards the Jinluan Hall with firm steps, just like the first morning after he swept away Pan Wei, stepping on the blood of the rebels all the way, carrying Leng Sen's murderous aura, and walked into the Jinluan Hall step by step.
This time, will the court shed a river of blood again? How many people will be buried with this young life?
It was already night, and the exquisite and unique palace lamps were hung high in the Jinluan Palace, illuminating the palace in a delicate way.
The prince sat under the dragon chair of the Jinluan Hall with a sad expression, looking at the corpse lying in the middle of the main hall, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
After the ministers were shocked, some of them cried bitterly, beat their chests, and some sighed, regretting that the country had lost good materials, no matter whether they were really sad in their hearts, but the demeanor they showed was extremely sad. For a while, the hall reverberated with real or false cries and howls, vivid and expressive.
Only the fat man and Feng Qiudao cried the most sincerely.
The two have known Fang Zheng for a long time, needless to say, the fat man has been crying from his classmates in cloth clothes to the courtiers in high positions, Fang Zheng has always maintained a relationship with the fat man as a good friend and confidant, Fang Zheng's death, for the fat man, the blow is huge, at this moment the fat man is crying heartbreakingly, as if his heart has been hollowed out.
Feng Qiudao's eyes were also red from crying, he had a great relationship with Fang Zheng, and behind his national merits several times, there was Fang Zheng's shadow. The relationship between him and Fang Zheng has long been incompatible, and now that his good friend has died tragically, how can he not teach him to grieve?
There was also an old man who was crying miserably, and this person was Wei Chengde. Although Wei Chengde was conservative and old-fashioned, and he also asked the emperor for the right to cut Fang Zheng, the old man was completely out of public considerations, and he did not mean to target Fang Zheng at all. In the negotiation with the Turks, he cooperated with Fang Zheng tacitly, and after getting along for a long time, he also established a good friendship with Fang Zheng.
The emperor looked coldly at the various states of the ministers in the palace, and felt both sad and angry in his heart.
"You know so well! I know that the murderer of him will stand in this hall today, and I also know that this murderer must be smiling proudly in his heart at this moment, very good! Your goal has been achieved, my son-in-law, my loyal minister died tragically for no reason, he and my daughter were newly married for less than a month, the Fang family has only one son, no heir, and since then the incense inheritance has been cut off, how do you tell me to explain to his parents? At the end, the emperor had already yelled loudly. His eyes were bloodshot and murderous, like an enraged beast, he glanced at the ministers in the hall.
Closing his eyes, the emperor tried to calm down his emotions, and continued: "No matter who of you is the murderer, I tell you that from now on, I will do whatever it takes to find the real murderer of Fang Zheng, and if I find out, I vow to cut all his ten clans to pieces, and never be able to live forever!" ”
When the ministers in the palace heard the emperor's words, their fake crying stopped, and the palace was silent, and the ministers looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, Lord Fang is unrecognizable and unrecognizable. The old minister dared to ask, did he really confirm that this corpse was him? Among the ministers, Wei Chengde had a clear conscience, and asked out of the class.
The emperor shook his head gloomily: "According to many people, it is ...... to identify him as **"
Wei Chengde choked up and said: "The old minister thinks that this case is serious, and it should be handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation, and urge the Criminal Department to solve the case as soon as possible, and catch the real murderer Fang for revenge!" ”
The emperor nodded weakly and said: "According to Qing's play, come here, carry the corpse into the criminal department, and order the criminal department to carefully inspect it, Chu Shangshu will personally handle this case for ten days, and within ten days, I will find out the murderer and correct the law!" ”
Four of the warriors in front of the temple stepped forward and bent down to lift the corpse.
"No one is allowed to touch me!" The delicate voice echoed above the main hall, looking particularly cold and gloomy.
"Mi'er, you...... Alas! Looking at Changping, whose face was dead, the emperor opened his mouth with a heartache, and finally just sighed.
Changping was dressed in a light-colored Chang Chi, a whole day of searching, Chang Chi was already covered with dust and grass clippings, her head was scattered, the tear stains on her delicate and beautiful face had dried up, she couldn't shed tears anymore, only a hollow gaze, looking at everyone sluggishly. Ignoring the complicated gazes of the ministers in the hall, he walked to the middle of the hall expressionlessly, and the slender and weak figure looked pitiful under the illumination of the palace lamp.
Walking to the hall and standing still, Changping looked around, looking at the expressions of the ministers or sighing or pitying, Changping said quietly: "Lying here, it is my husband, I chose it myself, and my father was the master of my marriage,...... He is also the man I love the most. Now, he's dead......"
Changping's pale face suddenly turned red, and his voice was full of bitter hatred: "...... He died at your hands! You're all murderers! For the sake of your own calculations, for your little bullshit selfish power, you actually killed my husband! made the Fang family cut off the incense, and made my Zhou Mi'er lose her lover......"
Pretty eyes looked around at the ministers, Changping's stunning face became extremely distorted, and with a backhand, she pulled out the small dagger hanging on her waist.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Mi'er! Stop it! What are you doing? ”
In the midst of everyone's anger, Changping stretched out his wrist that deceived the frost and snow, and cut deeply on his wrist without blinking, and blood flowed out, along Bai Hao's wrist, drop by drop on the smooth floor of the Jinluan Palace.
"Doctor Chuan!" The emperor said anxiously.
Changping's face turned pale, and he looked at the shocked ministers and sneered sadly: "...... I, Zhou Mi'er, lost my husband today, and the pain in my heart is like a thousand arrows piercing my heart, and I know that the murderer is among you. Standing on this Jinluan Palace today, Zhou Mi'er swore a blood oath to the Heavenly Alliance, and the strength of my life, even if the rivers flow backwards and Mount Tai collapses, I will definitely capture the murderer of my husband, break it into thousands of pieces, and exterminate the nine clans! To eliminate the pain of the loss of the second elder of the Fang family, and to offset the eternal hatred of my Zhou Mi'er who lost her lover! ”
The ministers were in an uproar, and this sonorous oath, as if it was a curse from the netherworld, deeply shocked everyone's hearts.
Everyone in the hall looked at Changping's dead gray face, and suddenly felt cold and creepy.
Changping's figure stumbled a few times, and said quietly: "I don't need your criminal department to investigate, I don't need your Jinling Mansion to solve the case, the revenge of my husband's murder, I Zhou Mi'er will report it personally!" ”
After speaking, Changping shouted: "Someone! ”
Two female guards outside the hall came out in response.
"Carry the body of the husband home, set up a mourning hall, a sacrificial altar, and put it into the ground for peace......"
The female guard's eyes were red, and without saying a word, she lifted the corpse and walked out of the hall.
Changping smiled sadly, stretched out his hand to pull his loose sideburns, turned his head to the ministers Ying Yingyifu, and said calmly: "The surviving Fang Zhou, I respectfully invite you to come to my husband's funeral to present a glass of thin wine, the surviving people are grateful." ”
The emperor looked at Changping distressedly, with tears in his eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Mi'er......"
Ignoring the expressions of admiration or fear from the ministers, Changping turned around and walked proudly towards the outside of the hall.
He's dead? Is he really dead? This conscienceless bastard just left me dead?
…………
"Stinky boy, you don't have fucking eyes, it's you, what do you see!"
"Wow! This brother is not tall, but he has trained his chest muscles so well, which really makes the younger brother admire......"
…………
"The matter is urgent, when I do it later, you will immediately run away with your brother and bring someone to save me."
…………
"Cutie, let's have a relationship!"
…………
"If they don't agree, let's elope, run all the way south, and give birth to babies while running, you gave birth to more than ten or twenty babies for me, and your uncle and aunt don't agree, and then we will run back......"
…………
The voice of the beloved is still in the ear, and the person is already in the middle of the road!
Changping bit his lower lip tightly, telling himself over and over again in his heart, I can't fall, I can't fall! I am the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, and I am Fang Zheng's main room, Fang Zheng's future affairs still need me to work, and my mother-in-law still needs me to serve, I can't fall ......
Under the silent gaze of everyone, Changping's weak body staggered after stepping out of the temple gate, and finally couldn't bear the great grief of losing her husband, and fell to the ground softly.
"Doctor! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Before he fell unconscious, Changping faintly heard his father's roar and hoarseness.
---
Is Fang Zheng dead?
Of course he wasn't dead, but he was in a terrible situation, so bad that he wanted to die.
Whoever is knocked on the back of the head will never wake up too comfortable.
When Fang Zheng woke up, it was already dark, and he didn't know what it was. After regaining consciousness, he was now driving in a car, and his body was firmly tied by a cow tendon rope, and he could not move.
The first reaction was that it hurt to the core. I don't know which bastard knocked Lao Tzu's stick, and if you want to tie me up, just tell me directly, and you're not an unreasonable person, can you give me such a blow? If you say that you are embarrassed to ask you to go for a while, as soon as I saw that your force value was higher than mine, of course I agreed without hesitation, why bother to let Lao Tzu suffer this slap?
In the shaking carriage, Fang Zheng sat up with difficulty, his mind spinning rapidly.
Look at this posture, this is a premeditated action against himself, as for who is behind the scenes, why not kill himself directly, Fang Zheng didn't figure it out for a while, he only knew that he was very uncomfortable at the moment, not only wanted to drink water, but also wanted to pee.
Leaning on the wall of the carriage to catch his breath, Fang Zheng carefully looked at the situation in the carriage.
The carriage is not big, and in terms of material, it is also very ordinary, and there are not a thousand but eight hundred in the capital of such a carriage, which is really inconspicuous. And judging from the constantly bumpy road conditions, the carriage should be driving outside the city now, but I don't know how far it is from the capital.
After calming down, Fang Zheng was not so afraid. Since the others didn't kill him on the spot, but tied him up, it means that they have a trick, at least for now, they won't kill themselves.
I don't know which king's hand is really strong enough, Fang Zheng only felt that his hands and feet were completely numb. When he looked down, he was immediately furious, regardless of his identity as a hostage, and shouted angrily: "Someone! Anyone? If you are in a hurry, stop Lao Tzu! ”
The carriage obediently stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a rough bearded face appeared, this person's hair was too long, as far as the eye could see, Fang Zheng only saw the beard, his eyes, nose and mouth were all covered by thick hair, and the whole head looked like a fluffy coconut, and he couldn't distinguish his facial features at all.
Depend on! It's a human or a monkey
Fang Zheng was frightened, looked at him blankly, and spoke for a while.
"Why are you stopping?" The bearded face broke the silence and said in a rough voice.
If you can speak human language, you shouldn't be a monkey, right? Besides, the monkey is much more handsome than him, and he can only run to Shennongjia to seek resonance.
Fang Zheng's frightened heart faded, and his anger rose again, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "Which bastard tied me into this position? ”
At this moment, Fang Zheng's posture of being tied is indeed a little embarrassing, his left hand is tied to his left foot, and his right hand is tied to his right foot, this is just it, I don't know what kind of bad taste the person who tied him is, he actually fixed his calves and thighs to ninety degrees, and separated his legs widely, and lay down on the carriage with his back to the sky. The whole person looks like a little victim in the bundle film.
How could such a humiliating posture not teach Young Master Fang to be furious?
The bearded face smiled innocently when he heard this, revealing two big yellow teeth in his mouth, with a very embarrassed expression.
Fang Zheng was shocked: "You tied it?" ”
This guy can't be a glass, right? Could it be that he fell in love with the young master's beauty, so he tied me into this ** posture to make it easier for him to do things? So my chrysanthemum, young master......
The more Fang Zheng thought about it, the more he shuddered, and goosebumps appeared layer by layer on his body. Especially when he saw that fluffy face and those two big yellow teeth, Fang Zheng's stomach turned over for a while, and he wanted to vomit and eat something sour......
Fortunately, the bearded face shook his head honestly, showed the two signature yellow teeth again, and said with a smile: "No, we are the ones who tied you." ”
The ...... of the house
Depend on! Listening to this title, Lao Tzu should not have met the legendary bandits, right?
Fang Zheng groaned, and fell weakly in the carriage, wanting to cry without tears.
Ill-fated, this is the best portrayal of Fang Zheng's journey through life.
Life is up and down too fast, yesterday I was still chatting with the current emperor in the imperial study of the palace, and today I was picked up by bandits in a ** posture, God, which one are you playing?
Licking his dry lips, Fang Zheng hissed, "I said, can you untie me?" Don't worry, I will never run away, you look at my weak appearance, whether it is fighting or running away, it is not your opponent, what are you worried about? ”
The bearded face shook his head very resolutely and said, "No, the master said that he can't let go of you." ”
Fang Zheng retreated and begged: "Then can you tie me up a little better?" It's like...... Well, like the martyrs who are about to go to the execution ground, the kind that can still free their hands and shout slogans when they are about to leave? ”
The bearded face scratched his head and thought about it, but he still shook his head and said, "No, the boss didn't say that he could tie you up in another way." ”
Be in charge! If Lao Tzu catches you in charge, he will hang him on the city gate tower according to my current posture, so that the people in the capital can watch it for free for a month! Whoever takes a look at Lao Tzu will give him a tael of silver, and those who have a tendency to glass will give two taels, and if you want to do something else, the price is negotiable!
The following does not count as words-
It's early today, because there's a dinner, hehe.
Fang Shao gave me a dream last night, saying that he didn't let him appear as the protagonist in that chapter yesterday, and Young Master Fang was very unhappy.
So after thinking about it today, let's let him play.
By the way, today is the last day of the double monthly pass, if you have a monthly pass, hurry up and vote for it, otherwise I will let Fang Shao die again......
(Fang Shao held the brick high and shouted by the neck: "If you have the guts, you can try!") Master, I'll fight you to the death! ”)
