Chapter 107: Saving People on the Field
The weather turned cooler, and soon the snow fell. I suddenly ate the roast goose of Pinxianglou and asked Xiao Lian to sell it, but she was cold and held the stove and refused to go out. Everyone in the hospital has their own things to do, and I don't want to trouble everyone, so I put on a cloak and left the hospital alone.
I thought that this cold winter month was snowflakes again, and the streets must be empty. But I didn't want to, the street dripping into ice was crowded with people. In the distance, I saw a row of heavily escorted prisoner carts approaching this direction, and although the fluttering snowflakes obscured my vision, I vaguely felt that the tall and unyielding figure walking in front of the prisoner cart was somewhat familiar.
I couldn't help but stop. When the prisoner cart slowly approached, I finally saw that the one locked on the prisoner cart was Qin Ruoan.
"Did you hear that? The general Wang murdered Princess Chaolu and killed the princess tragically, leaving not even a complete corpse. The emperor was grief-stricken and immediately ordered the general Wang Manmen to be beheaded! ”
Hearing someone around me say that Gu Zhengxi wanted to kill Qin Ruoan, I couldn't help but snort coldly, at the beginning, it was obviously he Gu Zhengxi who led Qin Ruoan to kill me on the charge of colluding with traitors and seeking power and usurping power. Later, Qin Ruoan led his troops to fight bloodily to attack the capital and take back the throne from Prince Gong, so that Gu Zhengxi was able to regain Tianyu, and his first intention to return to the capital was to demote Princess Chaolu, who "fled with Prince Gong", to a commoner.
Now he reverses black and white, and on the grounds of murdering Princess Chaolu, he will be the most accomplished general of Tianyu Kingdom, and the general king of Tianyu will be executed for him to regain the power of Tianyu.
General Wang Manmen, in addition to Qin Ruoan, also includes Lord Qin, the secretary of the military department, Gu Zhengxi wanted to add a crime to send Tianyuguo to the guillotine, the purpose is too obvious, it is nothing more than to take back the military power and firmly control it in his own hands. But he didn't want to think about how he could lead the soldiers of the Tianyu Three Armies to defend his family and defend the country against foreign enemies with the few muddy cronies under him who could only flatter him.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, Gu Zhengxi said, "Qin Ruoan murdered Princess Chaolu", but if "Princess Chaolu" did not die tragically, then Qin Ruoan's crime could not be established? Since Qin Ruoan did not murder Princess Chaolu, there is naturally no need to "behead all over the house", and the hundreds of innocent lives of the Qin family do not have to be the innocent souls under the knife of the West City Law Field.
And "Princess Asakaro", isn't it me?
Before the word "Ben ......" Gong came out, my mouth was firmly covered by a hand stretched out from behind, and I was about to break the hand that covered me, but I heard a familiar voice in my ear: "Lord." ”
Mo Qian! It's Mo Qian! If it weren't for him covering my mouth, I think I would have screamed with joy.
"Qin Shangshu is loyal to Gu Zhengxi, and now he has ended up in such a situation, which is indeed regrettable." Mo Qian still didn't let go of the hand covering my mouth, and continued: "But the Lord should know that Gu Zhengxi hates the Lord to the core, and he once did not hesitate to give up the Wangyong Fortress in order to take the Lord's life, and even sent Qin Ruoan to lead heavy troops to encircle and suppress Muyu Xiaoju at the most critical time of the war with Prince Gong. If he knew that you were alive in the Lord, would he kill you? Qin Ruoan treacherously killed his master, and now he is to blame for ending up like this. Why would the Lord throw himself into a trap and put himself in danger in order to save such an ungrateful man? ”
I patted Mo Qian's hand, motioned for him to let go of me, and then said: "'Eat the king's fortune, be loyal to the king's business' Qin Ruo'an is just doing his duty as a courtier, not to mention, he has no disrespect to me from beginning to end, and he has not taken my life, just with these two points, I can't see him die without saving him." ”
"Gu Zhengxi has long been jealous of Qin Ruoan, even if the Lord saves him today, in the future, Gu Zhengxi will definitely find another reason to take his life, and the Lord himself is still difficult to protect, how many times can he protect him?"
"It's a guarantee once!"
Mo Qian was rarely excited, and said to me, "But he killed your golden-faced secret guard!" ”
Yun Cheng! My chest suddenly twitched so hard that it hurt so much that I almost fainted.
"Lord, let's go!" Mo Qian supported me and retreated out of the crowd without a trace.
I grabbed Mo Qian, "I want to give him one last ride." Just be alone. Afraid that he wouldn't agree, I added, "Just a glance, okay?" ”
"Then, my subordinates will accompany you."
I thought I had seen too much life and death, but when a crying human head rolled off the guillotine, warm blood splashed on the snow in front of me, dissolving into a pool of blood. My body still trembled violently unconsciously. Mo Qian hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved my hand to my shoulder, carefully holding me.
"Sir...... Old man......" A woman suddenly rushed into the court, knelt in front of Qin Shangshu and cried bitterly, "The concubine is here to accompany you......"
"Madam......" Qin Shangshu was also in tears, and said to the woman, "I finally sent you out of the city, why did you come back?" ”
Thinking about it, that woman is Mrs. Qin, it seems that Qin Shangshu had intended to protect this wife who has accompanied him through ups and downs for more than 30 years, but Mrs. Qin did not want to live alone, so she returned to the court and went to Huangquan with Qin Shangshu.
Mrs. Qin did not answer Qin Shangshu's words, but said angrily: "The lord followed the emperor to lay down this Tianyu territory, and then assisted the prince to make the Tianyu country mighty, the lord has never lost the slightest bit of Tianyu country in his life, but now he has ended up in such a situation, the concubine is not worth it as a master, it is not worth it......"
Qin Shangshu said helplessly: "Women's Taoist people, they shouldn't talk about state affairs. ”
"But even if it is a woman's family, the concubine also knows that the master has done his best for Tianyuguo for more than 20 years. Although the concubine didn't like Ruo'an's child, she knew that he had no second heart for the emperor, why did the emperor want to kill my family! ”
Qin Shangshu closed his eyes and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "All the birds, the good bow is hidden, the cunning is not to die, the lackeys cook!" ”
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here, he will not let the emperor do such a thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and framing the loyal and good......"
Before Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she was dragged by the arms of two officers and soldiers to the other side of the court, and Qin Shangshu looked at the back of Mrs. Qin crying and struggling. Two lines of turbid tears burst out uncontrollably.
I saw that Qin Ruoan, who was neatly dressed and haired, was escorted to the guillotine, he was not like others, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, or cried and shouted, or the three souls were gone, and his eyes were empty. Instead, his eyes were like torches, staring nervously at the crowd as if he was looking for something.
Until, to meet my gaze.
He seemed relieved, and as his hands were tied behind his back, he bent down and put his forehead on the ground, kowtowed to me respectfully three times, and then calmly walked up to the guillotine, and put his head under it.
The black and strong executioner clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and pressed the guillotine down violently, and the snowy blade fell straight towards Qin Ruoan's neck......
"Stop!" I suddenly shouted, broke away from Mo Qian, flew and kicked the executioner away, and tightly grasped the falling guillotine! He raised his voice and said: "This palace is obviously alive and well, why did you say that you were murdered and died tragically by the general king?" ”
Qin Ruoan was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down and bowed to me: "The criminal minister Qin Ruoan has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Chaolu!" ”
Then, Qin Shangshu's family also seemed to have seen a savior, and they bowed to me one after another: "I have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Chaolu." ”
Mo Qian had no choice but to fly behind me and say loudly to everyone: "Princess Chaolu is here, and you don't bow down yet." ”
You still look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. At this time, a girl in a Chinese costume in the crowd took a step forward with two maidservants, knelt on the ground respectfully, raised her hand to increase her forehead, and said loudly: "Liang Jingshu, the lord of Mingjing County, is Liang Hui, the secretary of the criminal department of the father's family, to meet the princess Chitose!" ”
Since the princess of Anping, Lin Muyu and the pro-Bei Desert, Lin Muhan, the lord of the strange county, married outside the Meiling Pass. Liang Jingshu, the lord of Mingjing County, the former emperor personally appointed the prince as a side concubine, and the concubine of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department became the noblewoman with the highest status among the nobles in the capital.
I knew Liang Jingshu's intelligence for a long time, but I didn't know that she was such a young woman. Since I pretended to be Chaolu, although I didn't go out with fanfare, I often walked inside and outside the palace as Chaolu, even if the common people didn't recognize me, it was impossible for the few prison officials on the side of the court to behead me, as well as the generals I looked familiar with.
Now, I stood in front of them alive, still the same as before, and the clothes were not shabby, but they pretended not to know.
Obviously, they were afraid that Gu Zhengxi would finally find a reason to get rid of Qin Ruoan's forces, and it would be a failure because of my appearance, in which case Gu Zhengxi would definitely be angry with them.
Since the "disappearance of the prince", Princess Chaolu no longer invites Gu Zhengxi to see. A daughter who lost her position and was even disgusted by Gu Zhengxi, compared to the thorn in the flesh and the thorn in the eye that she wanted to get rid of. They knew that their emperor would definitely choose the latter.
So they understood that what they should do at this time was to announce in public that the princess standing in front of everyone was fake. The evidence of Qin Ruoan's murder of the princess is conclusive, and the execution continues. And I, the "fake princess", will also be taken down by them and sentenced to death.
But now, the appearance of Liang Jingshu made them negate all their previous ideas, Liang Jingshu represents the attitude of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Liang Shangshu is a veteran of the DPRK and China, has followed Gu Zhengxi for many years, and knows much more about Gu Zhengxi than they must be. Now, Liang Shangshu's daughter openly bows to Princess Chaolu, which must be instructed by Liang Shangshu, and what Liang Shangshu is figuring out is naturally Gu Zhengxi's wishes, so it shows that the emperor has not given up the daughter of Princess Chaolu. That princess Chaolu is still the most honorable princess of Tianyu Kingdom, so she naturally has to be respectful and courteous.
So, first the officials, then the soldiers, then the common people, everyone bowed to me. In addition to the steward of the Qin Mansion who had been beheaded, Qin Shangshu's family was also released on the spot.
And I, surrounded by the palace people who came later, helped me up and went straight to the palace.
It's just that I went out to buy a roast goose, but I re-stepped on the palace that I had escaped with great difficulty, and personally sent my net worth and life to the palm of Gu Zhengxi's hand.
