The ironclad guard quickly rushed to Zhen's house, captured Zhen Mi and took him to the general's mansion, and dragged him to the council hall to hand him over to Yuan Shao.

"The people's girl Zhen Mi meets the general!"

After entering the conference hall, Zhen Mi greeted the salute unhurriedly, with no fear on her face.

Without waiting for Yuan Shao to open his mouth to ask, the judge next to him induced: "Zhen, Mrs. Zhang said that you claimed to be pregnant with the flesh and blood of the fourth prince in your womb, but is there such a thing?" Did you secretly have a love affair with the fourth son, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted, so you instigated the fourth prince to kill his brother? If you bring it from the truth, you will not suffer from flesh and skin. ”

Zhen Mi is a girl, looking forward to the love of the wind and snow all day long, and she is completely ignorant of the intrigue and intrigue of Yu and me, and she didn't connect Yuan Xi's death with herself at all.

"Zhen Mi, let me ask you, is the child in your womb really the flesh and blood that my son Yuan bought?"

Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and raised his hand to signal the others not to steal the words, and to interrogate Zhen Mi by himself. For this dignified-looking girl, Yuan Shao was originally very satisfied with being his daughter-in-law, but unexpectedly, there were many changes.

After panicking for a moment, Zhen Mi calmed down, knelt on the ground and said, "The general is above, and the people are wronged." I met the fourth prince before I was married to the second son, and it was true that I loved each other, but it had nothing to do with the death of the second son, please be aware of it! ”

The judge stopped talking, but Feng Ji next to him couldn't hold his breath, and asked sharply: "How dare you say that you have nothing to do with the death of Prince Xi?" You see that your belly is like this, and you dare to use strong words? It is clear that you and Yuan Mai committed adultery first. The bead fetus is secretly knotted, because you have already promised to be married to Prince Xi, so you asked Yuan Mai to kill the killer and kill your brother, yes or no? ”

"It's not!"

The situation was critical, and Zhen Mi could no longer continue to disguise, so he lifted the placket of his clothes, pulled out the clothes stuffed inside, and kowtowed: "General Mingjian, the people's daughter claimed that she was pregnant because she had no choice. It's just because I am in love with the fourth son. The folk girl had sworn that he would not marry, so she lied that she was pregnant, using this as an excuse to prevaricate Mrs. Zhang. But between me and the fourth prince is innocent, although I love each other. But there is nothing to do! ”

Unexpectedly, Zhen Mi's pregnancy was fake. This surprised the judge and Feng Ji. They looked at each other. Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, so that at least the Yuan family did not have the scandal of adultery by his uncle and sister-in-law. The reputation of the Yuan family was prevented from being damaged.

Reaching out and stroking his beautiful beard, Yuan Shao shouted: "You woman, you are so hateful!" Since you have already met my son Yuan Mai, why did you agree to marry my son Yuan Xi? Since he was married to Xi'er, why did he exchange letters with Mai'er and communicate secretly? It's really not a woman's way! ”

"This marriage is not for me, it is for my eldest brother! If the daughter refuses to get married, the general will be furious, and the Zhen family can't afford it, so my brother will answer the marriage for me. And in the hearts of the people's daughters, they have always admired the young man, and they have no feelings for the young man Xi......" Zhen Mi turned her heart sideways and distinguished.

Yuan Shao decided to put all the blame on Zhen Mi to clear Yuan Mai's guilt, so as not to damage the reputation of the Yuan family. lowered his face and patted the case: "You, the lady of the water-based Yanghua, still dare to quibble." It is clear that you do not abide by the way of women, and you first responded to the marriage of my son Yuan Xi, and then provoked my son Yuan Mai, so that our Yuan family can cause trouble, which is very hateful! ”

Seeing the murderous aura in Yuan Shao's eyes, Zhen Mi bit her lip and said nothing. The matter has come to this, it is useless to beg for mercy, Yuan Xianyong will not marry in this life, life and death are left to fate!

"Come on!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were shining, he frowned and glanced outside, and immediately an ironclad guard agreed, standing at the door to obey orders.

Yuan Shao stretched out his right hand, raised his two fingers and pointed at Zhen Mi and said: "Take this woman who doesn't abide by women's morals down, hang her three-foot white silk to death, and put her brothers Zhen Yu and Zhen Yao, who have no way to discipline, in prison, waiting to be released!" ”

"No!"

The ironclad guard agreed, and stepped forward to prepare to take someone. Zhen Mi knew that she was in a catastrophe today, closed her eyes, and lived and died!

"Wait!"

Just as the guards were about to take the person, Fu Zhi stood up and bowed his hand and said, "The lord is above, please listen to Fu Zhu's words." Since Zhen Mi claims to be in love with Mai Gongzi, if you give her to death, I am afraid it will make Mai Gongzi sad, and if he holds a grudge because of this, the situation in the state will be unstable. Moreover, this Zhen Mi did not hesitate to destroy her reputation in order to promise to the fourth son, and prevaricated Mrs. Zhang with the lie of being unmarried and pregnant, and she was infatuated with the fourth son, which is also particularly rare. ”

After listening to the frustrated words, Yuan Shao was silent and fell into deep thought.

In the past six months, Yuan Mai has performed well, conquering cities, recruiting troops and horses, and giving him enough face. In the Battle of Yijing, Yuan Shao saw Yuan Mai's military methods and the elite of his men, and relied more and more on him in his heart. At this moment, if it is because of the death of Zhen Mi, the father and son will turn their faces, and the gains will indeed outweigh the losses.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao finally took a step back and said in a deep voice: "Since the princess is interceding, I will spare her life." But she made my Yuan family live in vain, although the death penalty is exempted, the living crime is inescapable! There is a Cuifeng Mountain twenty miles north of Yecheng, and there is a nunnery on the mountain, called 'Qingxin Nunnery', and she will be sent to the nunnery to become a nun, so as not to attract bees and butterflies again, and seduce right and wrong! ”

"No!"

Several ironclad guards agreed, and immediately dragged Zhen Mi out of the conference hall, found a carriage, stuffed her into the car, and forcibly escorted her out of Yecheng to the nunnery north of Yecheng.

The night was dark, and an elite cavalry of 300 people galloped on the post road leading from Huaixian County to Yecheng. It was none other than Yuan Mai, who hurried from Hanoi.

After Zhen Mi was taken into the "General's Mansion" by the ironclad guards, Zhen Yao immediately sent his capable scouts to Huai County on the fastest horse to report the news, asking Yuan Mai to try to rescue Zhen Mi.

From Huaixian to Yecheng, the distance is only one hundred and fifty miles, and it can be arrived in three hours.

The scouts sent by Zhen Yao reported the news of Zhen Mi's arrest to Yuan Mai in the evening, and after receiving the news, Yuan Mai was shocked, and he didn't care whether it would arouse Yuan Shao's suspicions or whether it would provoke gossip, so he immediately ordered Zhou Cang to select three hundred of the most elite cavalry from the cavalry battalion, and rushed to Yecheng with a starry night. In the middle of the night, I rushed to the vicinity of Yecheng.

"Xianyong!"

Zhen Yao, who had been waiting anxiously in the dark, saw that the person at the head was Yuan Mai, and hurriedly got out of the hidden place with a horse, followed by several entourages.

"Appeal ......"

Yuan Mai Lerma stared, and saw clearly through the torch that the person blocking the road was none other than the future "Uncle of the Country" Zhen Yao, who hurriedly stopped at the horse, and didn't care about greetings, and asked loudly: "Third brother, where is Ah Mi?" ”

"I was ordered by the general to be escorted to Cuifeng Mountain, twenty miles to the north, and I am waiting for you to discuss countermeasures, what do you think?" Zhen Yao held the horsewhip and asked anxiously.

"What else is being discussed? Lead the way in front and go up the mountain to save people! ”

Yuan Mai didn't think about it, flicked the horsewhip, and turned the horse to the north. Zhen Yao was not verbose, and then rushed to the front to lead the way, and Zhou Cang followed, leading three hundred elite cavalry to gallop north.

Yuan Shao did not believe in Buddhism, but as a ruler, he had to use religious mysteries to enhance his prestige, such as performing rituals such as sacrifices, divination, and prayers, which were held at regular intervals, to establish an image of his destiny in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Yuan Shao spent money to build a temple on Cuifeng Mountain in the north of Yecheng, and built a nunnery, and came to the temple every three or two months to worship and pray. The presiding officers of the monasteries and nunnery were carefully selected obedient monks, and if Yuan Shao had orders, they would do as they were told. There will be 50 soldiers guarding the foot of Pingsu Mountain to prevent the bandits from attacking.

Twenty miles of road, only half an hour to arrive, by the moonlight, Cuifeng Mountain is already close in front of you, the temple and temple at the foot of the mountain looming.

"Xianyong, you see, Ah Mi was imprisoned in the temple during the day!" Zhen Yao rode his horse and stretched out his hand to point to the "Qingxin Nunnery" in front of him.

"Why don't you save people?" , Yuan Mai asked while galloping on his horse.

Zhen Yao replied: "There are fifty-six soldiers guarding the mountain, and it is impossible to go up the mountain. Tonight, how are we going to be born? ”

"Kill it!" , Yuan Mai replied coldly, with murderous anger in his eyes.

During the conversation, a group of people had already arrived at the bottom of the mountain. The soldiers in charge of guarding the temple were awakened and hurriedly lined up to intercept them, and one of the leaders jumped out and asked, "Who is here?" You don't look like bandits, what kind of people are you? Do not trespass on the temple grounds! ”

Yuan Mai didn't answer, bent his bow and arrows, and shot him with an arrow. With a wave of the sword in his hand, he ordered Zhou Cang to lead his troops to annihilate all the soldiers under the mountain, leaving no one behind.

Zhou Cang agreed, slapped the horse and danced the knife, and cut off a few heads in an instant, and three hundred cavalry slashed and slaughtered, cutting melons and vegetables, and slaughtering the soldiers guarding the temple before giving up.

In a hall in Qingxin Nunnery, Zhen Mi kept kneeling on the futon and didn't say a word.

Standing next to the hostess of the temple, holding a razor, was persuading her to lose her hair: "Female benefactor, it has been six or seven hours since you were sent to the temple in the morning, have you thought about it?" Poor Ni hopes that you can take the initiative to lose your hair and don't let me be rough! ”

Zhen Mi's eyes were filled with tears, and she begged for mercy: "Master, I don't have any plans to become a monk, I still worry about Lang Jun in my heart, I can't calm down when my hair falls, I can't really concentrate on the Buddha, you better let me go?" ”

The hostess shook her head and said: "The general has an order, if you don't lose your hair, you will lose your head, compared to the three-foot green silk, the head is still important." Female donor, you just want to open it, cut off the green silk, jump out of the red dust, and you will feel the compassion of my Buddha! ”

"I don't lose my hair...... Zhen Mi struggled to get up.

The hostess was furious, turned back to the two little nuns behind her and said, "This little lady doesn't know what to do, it seems that good words don't make sense, you two catch her and let me shave her!" (To be continued......)
