Zhao Yingxi, the lord of Chongping County, was taken down by the guards, and she was about to become a prisoner. It's not that the King of Shu and the new emperor don't want to help her, or because she herself has committed a crime, Liu Yu didn't say that he would punish her, only said that he would let her go to prison, but he didn't say the time limit, maybe when she sits in prison, she won't be free again.

The king of Shu lost his wife and lost his soldiers, and his comrades-in-arms in a trench were martyred, and it was difficult for others to believe him anymore.

Liu Yu is also gradually encroaching on the camp of the King of Shu.

Back in the cell, Zhao Yingxi no longer saw any stubbornness and arrogance when she first came in, the king and emperor of Shu she trusted couldn't get anyone from this demon, and no one in the world could rescue her from prison, thinking of her future miserable prison life, Xiao Nizi squatted in the corner of the cell and cried endlessly.

Liu Yu ignored her, and let Zhao Yingxi eat the first bowl of prison rice in the cell and live on the straw mat for the first night.

Back home, Liu Yu swept away the unhappiness of the day, this time the scientific examination is three days, April 17 is over, April 19 he is going to marry Qi'er through the door, these days are also rare leisure. As soon as the night came, people came to the palace to do "greetings".

"Asking for gifts" seems to be asking about etiquette, in fact, it is to ask whether the man or woman who is married to the royal family has any hidden diseases, etc., and it is Gonggong Wu who comes to ask, originally it is not his turn to be the chief eunuch of this kind of thing, but because of Liu Yu's special identity, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to slack off, and specially asked the emperor for an order, so that Gonggong Wu would bring someone to come, and because Gonggong Wu was familiar with Liu Yue, there would be no embarrassment in the ceremony.

"It should be ......" Facing Gonggong Wu's inquiry and Xu Xuanzhu's curious gaze, Liu Yue thought for a while and said, "The body is okay." Isn't it. Madam? ”

Liu Yu threw the question to Xu Xuanzhu. Xu Xuanzhu was slightly embarrassed. Originally, it was not in line with the rules for her to listen to the side, but in the past, even if the princess wanted to marry the concubine, the concubine would never have a lady to eavesdrop on the side, there was no precedent in ancient times, and Xu Xuanzhu and Liu Yue were married by the emperor, and Gonggong Wu did not dare to drive people away.

Gonggong Wu didn't dwell on such a trivial matter, and said with a smile: "Marquis Wuyi has been married for a long time, if you say that the ceremony will not be successful." That doesn't make sense. It's just that there are some things, I still have to tell you Wuyi Hou according to the rules, this time the old body came to check the net worth and body of the future horse, ask the etiquette, and whether to marry a wife, etc. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "If Gonggong Wu has anything to ask, just ask." ”

"It's gone, it's gone. Marquis Wuyi is innocent, although he ......" Gonggong Wu glanced at Xu Xuanzhu, as if to say that although he married a wife and took a concubine.

“…… But Marquis Wuyi, as a pillar of the Dashun Dynasty, was favored by the princess. The old body is just going through the motions, it's time to ask. That's it. ”

According to the rules, the main family wants to give "gift money" to the person who asks for the gift, and when everything is sent away according to the etiquette, the forward general's mansion will have dinner, and the female guards outside will already be eager to wait for dinner.

The next day, Liu Yu still didn't go to the examination room, and went directly to the cell of the military department, and then saw Zhao Yingxi, yesterday's "chivalrous girl" is now trembling, and her clothes and hair are also a little messy, obviously she didn't sleep well this night.

Fortunately, this is an idle military cell, there are no other prisoners except Zhao Yingxi, and the guards are all well-disciplined Imperial Forest Army, so they can't afford to embarrass her as a little girl, and if they are replaced by an ordinary women's prison, Zhao Yingxi may have to be innocent.

Liu Yu saw that she was shivering, stood at the door of the prison and asked, "Are you shivering from the cold?" ”

Zhao Yingxi turned a deaf ear and did not answer.

Liu Yu didn't act as a good person anymore, and said in his heart that these unruly royal ladies are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but if they dare to come over and offend him as a soldier, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and she will be scared half dead before she can use real means.

Liu Yu came out of the cell, and Yang Lie came to report: "General, a woman came earlier, saying that she was the mother of the prisoner and wanted to see her daughter, but she was not allowed to kneel outside all the time. ”

Liu Yu was surprised: "Why didn't you see it when you came in?" ”

"It's in the backyard, and she's coming in through the back door."

Liu Yuxin said that Zhao Yingxi's mother was a bit interesting, and if she came to the "back door", she really went through the back door, but he didn't even know where the back door of the military prison was, how did Zhao Yingxi's mother know?

Liu Yu accompanied Yang Lie to the backyard of the yamen, only to see a woman in plain clothes kneeling on the stone steps with her head bowed and wiping her tears, her concern for her daughter was beyond words. Hearing the footsteps, the woman raised her head slightly, revealing a soft and ladylike face with pear blossoms and rain, which was not very beautiful, but with the bearing of a graceful woman, like a noble lady who was unattainable.

Wearing plain clothes has such a bearing, Liu Yu can't imagine what this woman will be like when she wears a gorgeous dress, does it make men dare not look at it directly?

Just thinking about it, Liu Yu had already arrived not far in front of the woman, but the woman did not get up, Ying Ying asked, "Is this the Marquis of Wuyi?" ”

"It's exactly down there." Liu Yu said with a smile, "This must be the lord of Hejian County, who is only a marquis, and he can't afford this gift." ”

Liu Yue said this, and he didn't dare to step forward to help, after all, men and women don't kiss, and Liu Yue didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

"The concubine Zhao Su is not knighted, the marquis is above, and the concubine is polite!" said that he knelt on the ground, even his head was close to the ground, and this number of gifts was enough, "Please also ask Hou Ye to see that the concubine's husband died early, and his father was accidentally injured and his life and death were uncertain, let go of the ignorant Xi'er once, and the concubine is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Hou Ye's kindness." ”

Zhao Su's crying continued, and Liu Yue, who listened to it, was cautious.

was kowtowed head-on by such a beautiful woman, and what did she say "be a cow and a horse", it is not strange that the man has a little strange emotion, and it is strange that Liu Yu detained Zhao Yingxi to vent his personal anger, and now the mother of the family is begging for release, and it seems that it will not work if she does not agree.

But Liu Yue thinks about it, wouldn't it be a loss to let it go like this?

"Oh, Mrs. Zhao, what are you talking about?" Liu Yu made a gesture to help, but he didn't touch her body, "Your daughter is assassinated, it's not that this general has to go against her, it's just that this is about the law of the country, and it is said that the law of the Dashun Dynasty is strict, even this general must act according to the law, and he can't show favoritism." Mrs. Zhao, please get up, this gift, General Ben can't afford it. ”

"Master Hou, you can afford it, you can afford it." Zhao Su said, "The little girl is just a naughty child, with her ability, she can't hurt Hou Ye in the slightest, please Hou Ye, you have a lot, let her go this time!" ”

Saying that, Zhao Su knocked his head up the stone steps, and his head was about to break.

Liu Yuxin said that he couldn't let her continue, otherwise he would definitely be soft-hearted, and waved his hand to the guards next to him and said: "Quickly help Mrs. Zhao to get up and send Mrs. Zhao back to the house, Mrs. Zhao might as well go back to the house first, and wait for the news of the judgment of the military department." ”

Liu Yu said this, which is equivalent to giving Zhao Su a little hope, after all, if Zhao Yingxi is just imprisoned and does not judge the case, then she will never be free, but after the verdict and conviction, at least there will be hope, although in the eyes of most people, Liu Yu is vicious and will definitely sentence the sentence to a long time.

Talking about the judgment of the military department's yamen, it is Liu Yu's mouth, and he said that the sentence is as long as it is.

Zhao Su was held by the guards, and Zhao Su's legs didn't want to move, so he was carried out all the way. After Zhao Su left, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if he had gone too far. But then he thought about it, if he had been a little slower during the assassination, it would not have been his turn to think about it now!

"Keep prisoners under strict guard." Liu Yu said, "No matter who comes again, they are not allowed to enter!" ”

Yang Lie first received the order, and then reported: "General, since last night, several people have been staring at this side of the cell, as if they want to rob the prison. ”

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

"Because these people are secretive, their subordinates are afraid of startling the snakes, but the guards of the general's yamen have increased. General, did you arrest these people and torture them severely? ”

Liu Yu pondered in his heart, to say that most of the yamen of this military department was idle afterwards, and ordinary thieves would not like to patronize such important military offices. Since last night, it means that Zhao Yingxi was imprisoned in a cell, could it be that the King of Shu is preparing to save people from Lu?

Thinking about it again, the King of Shu should not be so unsteady. After all, it was not his grandson who was imprisoned, but only his nominal future granddaughter-in-law, and now the king of Hejian County is already a toothless tiger and has lost the value of use, and the king of Shu can't afford to take risks for Zhao Yingxi.

Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the previous assassination case of the Hui envoy, but now it is still an unsolved case.

"Transfer people secretly!" Liu Yu ordered, "By the way, most of the guards here will be removed, I want to see who is rushing to make trouble in Chang'an City!" ”

Zhao Yingxi was secretly escorted to a secret cell on the side of the opera garden and detained, and her treatment has also improved, there is a room and a bed, and it is clean, but the room only has a small ventilation window and an iron door, and she can only see the palm-sized sky outside.

Liu Yu transferred Zhao Yingxi away, just to see who dared to make a move against the yamen of the military department. As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yu was still bored in the examination room, and he was reading the book with Erlang's legs crossed, and the guards hurriedly came to report, saying that the military yamen had been looted and several guards of the Royal Forest Army had died.

Liu Yu was shocked, he dared to make a move in broad daylight, these people were really bold. But this also played into Liu Yu's hands.

Liu Yue hurriedly went over to investigate, Yang Lie was also there, as well as Sui Yi from Jingzhao Mansion and some yacha to catch fast. Several guards of the Imperial Forest Army were killed with a knife, but not all of the Royal Forest Army were killed, and these mysterious people entered the cell directly, so there was no living hole left on the side of the cell, on the contrary, the guards on the side of the yamen did not know what was going on on the side of the prison cell.

When Sui Yi saw Liu Yu, he scolded and said: "These daring assassins dare to come to the military department to attack, they are tired of life!" ”

Liu Yu was sneering in his heart, now he didn't care who came to rob and kill the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, he just knew that this matter could be pushed to the King of Shu!

"Send troops to surround the Shu King Pavilion and the Hejian County King Annex! Wait for the general to enter the palace to face the holy request, and take people directly! ”

Liu Yu immediately took Sui Yi into the palace to meet Su Yan. (To be continued......)
