Chapter 162: Step by step, interlocking
Chinese Jiang Guogong stayed outside the city for a long time and arranged a lot of things for the man in black, and then left and went to the city.
Today's weather seems to be extraordinarily hot, so hot that Jiang Guogong's heart can't help but feel a little anxious.
He couldn't help but reach out and lift the curtain of the carriage, and let the breeze blow in his face from outside, and then he felt a lot better.
When he arrived not far from the city gate, Jiang Guogong's gaze swept lightly, and he immediately frowned.
Something seems wrong with today's city gates.
He frowned and stared in the direction of the city gate for a moment to react.
Today's city gate has lost a lot of people in the past, and the most important thing is that only those who go in and do not come out.
Jiang Guogong's heart suddenly flashed a bad feeling.
"Turn around, go back to the stronghold, don't go back to the city." Jiang Guogong decisively opened his mouth and ordered the coachman.
Although the coachman was puzzled, he did not dare to delay, and after reining in his horse, he turned around and drove out of the city.
As early as the first moment when Jiang Guogong's frame appeared, he was targeted by Huo Chen's people.
So when the carriage had just turned around, a large number of soldiers rushed out and surrounded the carriage.
"Bold, are you blind, didn't you see that this is the car of Lord Guogong! The frame of the Lord Guogong also dares to stop it, I think you are going to die. The coachman shouted.
"This king is stopping the car of the prince." Huo Chen walked from behind and shouted to Jiang Guogong in the carriage: "Why, when an old friend comes, won't Lord Guogong come down to see him?" ”
Jiang Guogong's face in the carriage sank like water, knowing that something must have gone wrong, which would cause Huo Chen to stop him personally.
But he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that today's interception had nothing to do with what he was planning.
Calming down, Jiang Guogong lifted the curtain, looked at Huo Chen and said lightly: "Why is this the car stopped at the gate of Zhennan Wangcheng?" If you can't give my father a reasonable explanation, my father will definitely refer to you in front of the emperor. ”
Huo Chen smiled lightly when he heard this, "Lord Guogong wants to participate in this king, but I am afraid that he can only go to the heavenly prison to participate." ”
Jiang Guogong chuckled in his heart, looked at Huo Chen and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What do you mean, don't you really understand?" Huo Chen sneered and instructed his subordinates: "Jiang Guogong collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and committed rebellion, so he will be taken down immediately and sent back to the Criminal Department for trial." ”
"Presumptuous." Jiang Guogong shouted in a low voice at the people who came to arrest him, and the power accumulated over the years made the soldiers dare not move.
Jiang Guogong looked at Huo Chen coldly and said, "King Zhennan wants to arrest his father, but he doesn't just deduct two hats at random. This duke suspects that you have deceived the emperor and acted arbitrarily, and this duke wants to see the emperor. ”
"The Holy Purpose is this, the Guogong Mansion has been raided, and the Lord Guogong is still honestly going back to the Criminal Department with this king to be tried, otherwise I am afraid that I will inevitably suffer some flesh and skin." Huo Chen said expressionlessly.
Jiang Guogong looked at Huo Chen and immediately understood many things.
Perhaps from the time he left the king to see the prince, they made this game for him, waiting for him to jump in, but they hated that he did not notice for a while, and ended up in such a field.
Jiang Guogong estimated how many chances he could have of escaping from here at this moment, and in the end, he got out of the car honestly.
"The one who is clean will clear himself, and after the emperor thoroughly investigates, he will return his innocence." Jiang Guogong snorted coldly, glared at the two soldiers who were about to arrest him, and took the lead towards the city first.
There are his people in all the ministries, and he is arrested, and as long as he can contact them, he can leave at any time.
Instead of clashing with Huo Chen at this time and being killed by him, it is better to go back with him and think again.
Seeing Jiang Guogong being escorted away, Huo Chen looked at Han Mi and said, "Han Mi, you personally escort Jiang Guogong to the Criminal Department, and this king will go back to the house to change his clothes and immediately rush to the Criminal Department to preside over the trial." ”
Now that Huo Chen is dressed in armor, he wants to preside over Jiang Guogong, so he naturally has to change into his official uniform and go again.
"My subordinates understand." Han Mi answered and followed the escort team to the Criminal Department, while Huo Chen hurried back to Zhennan Wangfu.
Zhennan Wangfu, the courtyard of Yun Xiangrong.
Yun Xiangrong held a book and flipped through it carefully, with a calm expression.
She knew that Huo Chen and King Liwang had already made a move against Jiang Guogong, and there must have been a storm outside, so she couldn't help with these things, and she wouldn't make trouble.
Yun Xiangrong glanced at the sky outside, put it down and stood up.
As soon as he got up, there was a burst of blackness in front of him, Yun Xiangrong's body shook, and he reached out to help the table on the side, but his hand slipped off the table, and the whole person fell towards the ground.
Just when Yun Xiangrong thought that he was going to fall to the ground, a gust of wind suddenly blew beside him, and he was held by a warm big hand around his waist, and the tip of his nose was instantly filled with a familiar breath.
Before she could open her eyes and see clearly, she heard Huo Chen say anxiously, "Rongrong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Huo Chen came back to change his clothes, but he didn't expect that he had just entered the door and saw Yun Xiangrong get up and fall to the ground, something that shocked him.
At this moment, Huo Chen's heart was full of anxiety, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
He has been busy arranging to deal with Jiang Guogong recently, and he hasn't been back to the house for a long time, and he hasn't sat down with Yun Xiangrong to talk, but he doesn't know if she is uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Huo Chen's heart was full of chagrin and worry.
Yun Xiangrong opened his eyes and saw Huo Chen's cold face, his eyes full of self-blame and chagrin.
couldn't help but purse his lips and barely showed a smile, and said, "What do you do with this expression, I'm fine." ”
"And said it's okay, if I don't come back, you faint and fall to the ground. What about Zhao Xi? What about Chu'er? Why don't there be a single servant in the house? Huo Chen said with a cold face.
Yun Xiangrong looked at him so eagerly, knowing that he was worried about himself, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
"I like to be quiet when I watch it, and you don't know, don't be in such a hurry." Yun Xiangrong's soft gaze revealed warmth and love, which made Huo Chen's anger freeze in his chest, unable to vent, and uncomfortable.
Huo Chen helped Yun Xiangrong sit down and said, "Are you better now?" I ordered someone to invite Sun Yi to come and have a look. ”
Yun Xiangrong took Huo Chen's hand and didn't let him go.
said: "Don't bother, we are in too much of a hurry, so my eyes are a little black, and it's okay to slow down." How can you be so squeamish, looking for Sun Yi for a little thing. ”
Regarding Huo Chen's overreaction, although Yun Xiangrong was disgusted, he was still useful in his heart.
If he didn't care, Huo Chen, a general who killed the enemy in blood on the battlefield, killed decisively, and was not afraid of being injured and bleeding, how could he be so uncertain and anxious.
I'm afraid that even if he was injured, he didn't have such a heart.
Yun Xiangrong thought about it, and couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.
Huo Chen saw that Yun wanted to say this, but he was still a little worried in his heart.
"You also fainted suddenly in the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, if I am not here this time, you are afraid that you will faint again, I don't worry, I still look for Sun Yi to take a look." Huo Chen said, getting up and calling someone.
"Not really." Yun Xiangrong pulled him and didn't let him move.
Huo Chen was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to break free.
Yun Xiangrong looked at him in armor and dusty appearance, diverted the topic, and said, "You just came back from outside, do you still want to go out?" ”
Huo Chen nodded and said, "I just arrested Jiang Guogong, and when I came back to change my clothes, I had to go to the Criminal Department for interrogation, but you are like this, how can I rest assured?" ”
Huo Chen frowned tightly, his eyes revealing struggle and hesitation.
Jiang Guogong's case involves a wide range of people, and it must be raided with lightning speed, taken down, and sealed the coffin, so that the next step can be carried out.
Yun Xiangrong was clear-minded, understood his worries, tightened his hand, and said, "Then you go quickly, don't worry about me, I'm in the palace, and there are Zhao Xi and them in the mansion, I'll be fine." And you see I'm fine now, I don't look like something is going on at all. ”
"Your father's death back then is inseparable from Jiang Guogong, such a good opportunity, you can't give it up, if you let his people react, it will be troublesome." Yun Xiangrong said anxiously.
Huo Chen frowned and looked at her, obviously still not at ease.
Yun Xiangrong didn't say much, stood up directly, and pulled him towards the inside.
"Let's go, you change your clothes first."
When he arrived in the room, Yun Xiangrong directly took Huo Chen's court clothes and put them on the bed, and when he saw that he didn't move, he helped him take off his armor.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, don't delay your business." Yun Xiangrong said anxiously.
Huo Chen looked at her like this, his face turned red with anxiety, but he really didn't look weak, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "It's not bad for this little effort, you don't have to be so urgent." ”
"Don't underestimate Jiang Guogong's power, there are many powerful people under him, you are taking him by surprise before you can take him down, if you wait for his people to react, not to mention anything else, this road from the palace to the criminal department, if you want to live in peace, it is difficult. You can't give them time now, hurry. Yun Xiangrong said with a solemn face.
Huo Chen knew in his heart that what Yun Xiangrong said was true, and he was also shocked that Yun Xiangrong had such a keen cognition, and his appearance could always show the wisdom of a man.
"Are you really okay?" Huo Chen grabbed Yun Xiangrong's hand and said with deep eyes.
"Not really." Yun Xiangrong was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, "I know my body, don't delay for me." ”
Huo Chen nodded when he heard this, did it himself, and quickly changed his official uniform.
"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back victorious." Yun Xiangrong tidied up Huo Chen's clothes and tiptoed to give him a kiss on the lips.
was about to retreat, but Huo Chen pressed his back and deepened the kiss.
After a long time, Huo Chen let go of her, and after leaving a sentence in her ear, "Wait for me to come back", he turned around and left without hesitation.
Now is the most critical time, and he can't afford to delay.
Yun Xiangrong also understood this, so he kept urging him, and seeing him leave, Yun Xiangrong trotted to the door, holding on to the door frame and watching Huo Chen's back disappear, his face was a little worried.
Jiang Guogong has a deep foundation, and if he can't be crucified at one time, it will be endless.
Yun Xiangrong secretly prayed, hoping that everything would go well.
On the other side, Huo Chen rushed to the criminal department as quickly as possible.
In the lobby of the Criminal Department, the Shang of the Criminal Department, the Imperial Doctor, and the Dali Siqing were already waiting in the lobby.
Seeing Huo Chen enter the door, the three of them saluted at the same time: "I've seen the prince." ”
"You don't have to be polite." Huo Chen bowed slightly.
This time, the emperor has issued a holy decree in Jiang Guogong's case, which is presided over by Huo Chen, the king of Zhennan, and the three divisions are coordinated, so Huo Chen is the main judge of the trial.
Huo Chen sat on the main seat, his face solemn.
"Take Jiang Guogongtang." Huo Chen said coldly.
After Jiang Guogong was brought, his expression was calm, but his heart was full of anger.
On the way from the city gate to the criminal department, he was guarded by people, unable to contact others, surrounded by Huo Chen's people, he couldn't ask for help, let alone spread the news.
So at this moment, he is really only himself, and no one can count on him.
"Jiang Guogong, as a national prince, you have used your power for personal gain for many years, kept private soldiers in captivity, intended to rebel, and colluded with enemy countries, can you plead guilty?" Huo Chen patted the stunned wood and asked.
The old man couldn't understand what King Zhennan was saying. In this life, the old man is honest and honest, he sits upright, he is not afraid of anyone to investigate, and he is not afraid of anyone framing him. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, King Zhennan is hiding from the emperor. Jiang Guogong said coldly, his face questioning.
"This Jiang Guogong doesn't have to worry, the emperor's holy purpose is here. Come and show Jiang Guogong. Huo Chen commanded lightly.
After Jiang Guogong saw the holy decree, his face was indifferent, and he said, "King Zhennan has something to ask." ”
"A year ago, the imperial merchant Yan's family was raided and destroyed, and the head of the Yan family at that time was investigated and committed suicide by taking poison in prison. Lord Guogong relied on the Yan family to collect money to this point, and the soldiers died countless deaths and injuries decades ago and years ago, and died under the selfishness of Lord Guogong, can Lord Guogong recognize it? Huo Chen said indifferently.
"The Yan family is full of private pockets, what does it have to do with me? Amusing. Jiang Guogong's face remained unchanged.
"Don't talk too much, or it won't be good to slap your face for a while." Huo Chen smiled lightly and instructed Han Mi: "Show the things to Lord Guogong." ”
Han Mi answered, took an account book and handed it to Jiang Guogong.
Jiang Guogong opened the account book and looked at it, his face was cold.
This is an account book, an account book in which Yan Jie records all kinds of silver money transactions, and clearly records how much silver money is given to Jiang Guogong every year.
One stroke at a time, clearly.
However, Jiang Guogong threw away the account book in his hand and said indifferently: "My father has not done this, and my father does not admit it." The ledger can be forged, and if the king of Zhennan really wants to do something to his father, there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add. ”
Huo Chen looked at Jiang Guogong and bowed lightly: "What Lord Guogong said is not unreasonable. ”
"Second question, in the barren mountains on the outskirts of the capital, there is an ordnance factory, can the Lord Guogong know?" Huo Chen smiled lightly.
Jiang Guogong was horrified.
The weapons factory was built by him for the purpose of raising troops, and no one knew about it except his henchmen, but now he was tortured by Huo Chen as a crime, how could he not be shocked?
Could it be that the weapons factory has also had an accident?
Jiang Guogong's heart kept flashing with various thoughts, but his face only sank.
"What is the king of Zhennan talking about, my father doesn't know."
Seeing him like this, Huo Chen once again ordered someone to hand Jiang Guogong an account book, and ordered Han Mi to bring a witness.
After the man came, when he saw Jiang Guogong, he suddenly threw himself beside Jiang Guogong, hugged his thigh, and cried: "My lord, my lord help me, for so many years, my subordinates have no merit and hard work, Lord Guogong helps." ”
Even if Jiang Guogong quibbled, everyone had a plan in their hearts when they saw this.
Jiang Guogong's face turned black, and he suddenly kicked the man's heart, kicked him to the ground, and scolded angrily with a cold face: "Get away from my father, my father doesn't recognize you." King Zhennan, if you want to slander me with this, why do you want to find this kind of goods that can't be on the table, is my father's vision so bad? ”
It's not that the vision is poor, it's that there is no vision.
Such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they are in charge of the accounts of the weapons factory, they are simply digging a pit for themselves and burying themselves.
Jiang Guogong was remorseful at this time.
"It seems that Lord Guogong doesn't want to tell the truth to this king." Huo Chen smiled faintly and said.
"What this father said is true, and there is nothing to hide." Jiang Guogong said indifferently.
"Then let's talk about Huguan Mountain. Lord Guogong let his subordinates fight against the rebels, colluded with the enemy country, and collaborated with the enemy to betray the country, this matter, Lord Guogong is afraid that he will not admit it. Huo Chen said with a smile.
Without waiting for Jiang Guogong to object, he said, "Come in." ”
Jiang Guogong subconsciously turned his head and saw a figure walking in from outside, with a heroic posture and a delicate face, which made people look sideways.
However, when he saw that person, Jiang Guogong's face suddenly changed greatly.
The horror and horror on his face could not be concealed, and when he looked closely, his eyes were still a little desperate.
How could it be him?
Didn't you say that you were dead? Why is he still here? If he appeared, then there would be human evidence in the Battle of Huguanshan, and his charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason would not be something he denied or did not admit to being able to get by.
If he is convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, many officials under him who are supported by the outside world will be afraid that they will denounce him as soon as possible, so as to dissociate themselves from him.
"Xiaguan Yunqing, I've seen the king of Zhennan." At this moment, the man saluted with his fists and spoke.
That's right, the person who came was Yun Qing, who disappeared a few months ago.
At that time, the battle of Huguan Mountain was a great victory for Qiguo, but Yun Qing disappeared and looked for a short time, but found nothing, and finally had to give up.
Everyone thinks that Yun Qing should be dead.
Otherwise, how could there be no one to find?
However, the person who had planned it by himself, and whose subordinates responded to the death, appeared in front of him, how could Jiang Guogong not be shocked? What's more, the reply at the beginning said that this man already knew a lot about him.
Jiang Guogong clenched his hands into fists, trying his best to hide the gloom and unwillingness in his eyes.
"Lord Guogong, General Ben is not dead, are you very disappointed?" Yun Qing looked at Jiang Guogong and smiled faintly.
"General Yun, what are you talking about? General Yun is the pillar of the country, and it is the luck of the country that he did not die, and my father is naturally happy. Jiang Guogong reluctantly replied calmly.
Seeing that Jiang Guogong looked like he was dead and did not admit his account, Yun Qing shook his head and said, "That Guogong is really disappointed, not only is General Ben not dead, but there is another person, General Ben also came back alive." Lord Guogong should be happy to see him. ”
Yun Qing said, raising her voice and saying, "Bring people here." ”
A soldier came with a man with shackles, and when Jiang Guogong saw him, his face suddenly turned bloodless.
He didn't expect that this person was still alive.
If he was still a little lucky, then the person in front of him, once they pried his mouth open, then his crime ......
Jiang Guogong was anxious and desperate, he had been planning for many years, but he dropped the chain in the end, and something happened, Jiang Guogong was full of chills at the moment.
"Lord Guogong won't tell this king, you don't know this person, do you?" Huo Chen asked lightly.
"How do you recognize that? Did he collaborate with the enemy and treason, and all who knew him collaborated with the enemy and treason? Jiang Guogong sneered.
"Why didn't Lord Guogong recruit himself? But no one has ever said that this person is accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Huo Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Guogong choked suddenly.
It's that he's too anxious and out of proportion.
Jiang Guogong sneered and said, "My father is still the same sentence, there is no excuse for the crime that he wants to add." ”
After saying this, no matter who opened his mouth, Jiang Guogong stopped talking, looking like he would not confess.
Huo Chen sneered and said, "There are all human and material evidence, so you can't quibble." Today, the Jiang family is sentenced to exterminate their homes, confiscate all their property, and be executed at a later date. ”
Jiang Guogong didn't say anything, and was escorted down by the officials.
Even if he was condemned, as long as someone came to save him, he had no fear, after all, they couldn't kill him immediately.
This was his only hope at the end of his rope.
Yun Qing watched Jiang Guogong being escorted down, frowned at Huo Chen, and said, "This old puppet doesn't say anything, can he really be crucified to death?" ”
"There are all human and material evidence, the evidence is conclusive, and with the support of the emperor, without his confession, it is enough for him to die a few times. This old man is a thief, and he still thinks about people to save him. Huo Chen sneered.
"Jiang Guogong has been in business for many years, and there must be a lot of eagle dogs and minions, if the emperor delays it for a few more days, I am afraid that something will happen." Yun Qing said worriedly.
"Like you said, he still has a lot of eagle and dog minions, how could they have surfaced without him as bait? Although these people are his subordinates, but if they are loyal to him, their hearts will be opposed, and Your Majesty will prevent future troubles, and I can only help him save a dog's life first. However, the people who protect this guard are all my confidants, and they will be held in solitary isolation and will not have an accident. Huo Chen said.
"You're thoughtful, and you say it's okay, then it's safe." Yun Qing nodded.
"I have suffered a lot this time, I heard that you went to leave the country, a lot of things happened, and you brought Wang Xuejing back? What's going on? Huo Chen asked.
Yun Qing's eyes showed a little surprise, "Your hand is long enough, and it has reached out to leave the country." A lot of things happened, but luckily it turned out well. Yun Qing said, thinking of Wang Xuejing, her eyes flashed with a little soft light.
"When it calms down here, I will go to the palace to propose marriage, Rong'er has married you early, but I, who is my brother, have not yet married, so I should hurry up." Yun Qing said with a smile.
Huo Chen looked at him like this, and he was also happy for him.
smiled and said, "These are all as they should be, but before you do this, should you go back to Zhennan Wangfu with me first?" Rong Rongke didn't know the news of your return yet. Hide your news and don't tell Rong Rong, if she knows, she doesn't know how to blame me. ”
Huo Chen couldn't help but sigh at the end.
He received news about Yun Qing not long after Yun Qing's accident, but at that time, the imperial court and Jiang Guogong sent people to check Yun Qing's whereabouts, he was afraid that Yun Xiangrong would show his feet after telling him, so he kept hiding it, making her sad and worried, and his heart had always been guilty, but now that Yun Qing is back, he is even more worried.
If Rong Rong complains about him......
Yun Qing looked at the wry smile on Huo Chen's face, patted him on the shoulder in understanding, and said, "Let's go, let's go back now." Don't worry, I will definitely intercede with you then," Yun Qing said, smiling very unkindly.
Immediately, he and Huo Chen took a horse and headed towards the Zhennan Palace.
