Chapter 343: Confession?
If the prince does not ascend the throne for a day, the people below will be restless for a day, especially after the governor of Dongchang was imprisoned, these people's small actions became more and more unscrupulous.
"Fighting geese all day long and finally being pecked by geese, the scenery has been beautiful for half a lifetime, and now it has fallen into this step of the field, which is really miserable."
The jailers in the edict were huddled in front of the brazier to keep warm, and someone asked coldly: "There are two people surnamed Cao here, which one are you talking about?" β
"Who else could it be?" The man spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth: "Don't look at the eunuch who has no son, but the cadres of other people are all filial, and the food and clothing are not good. β
"Tut-tut." A few people speak out, and people can't be compared, and if they do, they will pierce their hearts.
"However, General Huaiyuan's prestige in the northwest is so high, what do you want, does he need to rebel?"
The jailer who rubbed the peanuts showed an expression that you don't understand: "I still want better, this is the same as a man being lustful, no matter how beautiful his wife is, there is only one, where is there to pick wild flowers." β
A few people laughed tacitly.
"Ahem, ahem."
At this time, there was a sudden coughing sound at the gate of the prison, and the frightened jailer almost shook off the peanuts in his hands. Could it be that the commander surnamed Jiang is here?
She is the only one in the entire Zhenfu Division who likes to visit the Imperial Prison in the middle of the night!
"Who?" The jailer who had been rubbing peanuts before cautiously opened the door to look in, and a slender figure was revealed in the wind and snow, the man covered his mouth and coughed from time to time, looking weak.
"Law. Bother... cough, cough, cough..."Meng Zhuzhou forced a cough and handed out the token.
The jailer took the token and looked at him again and again, the token was the prince's, there was no problem at all, but... The above told me not to let anyone in to visit... This....
"It's not appropriate to be so late, besides... No one is allowed to visit the prison until the case is clarified. The jailer smiled wryly, "Don't embarrass us below. β
Meng Zhuzhou opened his mouth and was about to speak, but a cool breeze poured into his mouth, and he immediately coughed again, coughing heartbreakingly, breathing, as if he was going to cough himself to death in the next second.
"Would you like to go back first?" The jailer was a little scared in his heart, this man looked sick and wanted to die, but don't die at their door! Otherwise, it is unreasonable.
Meng Zhuzhou finally stopped coughing: "Labor is accommodating." β
"No, no, absolutely not, no matter how many tickets you give, it's useless." The jailer pushed back the silver ticket, and his heart couldn't stop souring, it was a large silver ticket! How many months do you want to top them! But he couldn't take it.
"Am I not okay with me?" The little prince who followed him came out impatiently, and under the hood was a pair of hazy eyes, and anyone could see the unhappiness in his eyes.
"When... Of course you can..."The jailer was frightened, this is the prince! It's the king of the big nameplate! No matter how big Shangguan is, he can't be a king!
"Yes, get out of here!" The little prince walked straight into the edict prison, leaving the jailer who was still in a daze, at this moment he was like Emperor Qingwen, the lone wolf who was hidden deeply.
The deepest part of the edict is the torture room, where the lights are lit day and night, and the screams and wails can be heard all the time, especially when the situation is not clear, the slightest mistake will be caught in and 'waiting', when to ask the answer they want and when to be let go.
The sparks after the explosion of inferior lamp oil broke the shadow, and the time was swaying, Cao Bingye seemed to be aware of it, and looked at Meng Zhuzhou's complicated eyes with integrity.
"What are you doing here?" Cao Bingye sneered.
"Come and see you." Meng Zhuzhou covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently.
"Oh, it's to see if I'm dead."
When the crown prince found him with the emperor's secret edict that day, he thought that his loyalty had been appreciated by the emperor, so he spared no effort to help the prince, from the northwest to Kyoto, and then pretended to assist the prince to force the palace to rebel, which one was not for the prince? Which one is not for the whole royal family?
He Cao's family is full of loyalty, and he has never had two hearts for the country, but he ended up in this step? Is the sky unkind or is he too stupid?
"I'm sorry for you." Meng Zhuzhou said, lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt straight down.
The man has gold under his knees, and he kneels simply and without dignity, but dignity is a luxury for Meng Zhuzhou, he can abandon humanity, and he can also abandon dignity.
"Hahahaha..."Cao Bingye laughed out loud.
At the beginning, Meng Zhuzhou went to the northwest with a mess, he kindly gave him food and drink for his development, and then became the famous Zhuzhou son, he thought that they were the bosom friends of the mountains and rivers, but he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it.
"General Cao, don't blame him." The little prince, who had been standing behind Meng Zhuzhou, came out and said: "Then the Japanese palace did what Mr. told me, but the woman surnamed Jiang intervened sideways, and the plan was completely disrupted. β
The little prince comforted: "First of all, I wronged the general to stay in this edict prison, and when the palace ascends the throne, I will definitely clear the charge for the general." β
Cleared of charges? Too naΓ―ve, the little prince is too naΓ―ve, will those eunuchs let him clear his name?
In the faint light, Cao Bingye looked straight at Meng Zhuzhou, he still had a compassionate face, obviously he didn't do anything but played with them in the palm of his hand.
"Brother Cao can't help it." Meng Zhuzhou's voice sounded in his ears in a low voice.
A person with rare talents in the world will never be subservient to others all the time, Meng Zhuzhou not only wants to overturn the 'Pang Zhong case', he also wants one person to be above 10,000 people, what is the way to be able to be above 10,000 people under one person? Only from the dragon's work!
He did it, he did it against all odds, but this is far from enough, Emperor Qingwen can see the situation of Daming clearly, and he can naturally see clearly who is the thorn in the flesh, the grit in the rice, so Meng Zhuzhou completely got rid of Cao Bingye with the hands of Jiang Banxia and the eunuch party, who was his benefactor today.
The naΓ―ve prince thought that Meng Zhuzhou was a relative sent by his mother to protect him, and he was the only person in the world who was good to him, but in fact, this was a wolf that could never be raised.
"Sir, will General Cao be fine?" The little prince asked, wrapping his cloak tightly.
"Of course it won't happen." Meng Zhuzhou touched the little prince's head: "I will keep him alive." "Of course, just alive.

Strategists are called strategists because they are able to calculate so many inadvertent details and coincidences into a vast chain of cause and effect, in which any point in the chain can be a turning point.
Meng Zhuzhou will do what he wants, send Cao Bingye away and pull Cao Yu off the horse, the two Cao family members were played with by him, and his chips were added again and again.
In order to protect Cao Alcohol, Jiang Banxia had to use Cao Bingye's life and death to threaten the person behind him, that is, Meng Zhuzhou.
In Jiang Banxia's opinion, there is no one in this world who is not moved by interests, as long as he gives the other party everything he wants, he can always find the weakness of the other party, and Meng Zhuzhou also has such an idea, so the two people with ghosts and spirits sat together to discuss, during which the verbal confrontation was like killing the enemy on the battlefield.
"It was your people who poisoned Wen Chenzi." Jiang Banxia lifted his eyelids and sneered.
"Oh." Meng Zhuzhou responded with the same indifference: "People, you have been arrested, why do you need to ask me whether to kill or release." β
"If you kill a client, you think there is no proof of death?"
"Is there any other evidence you can find? Or did you and your stupid godfather never think the same way I did? Meng Zhuzhou's eyes were as cold as a snake: "Half a catty is against eight taels, asking Chenzi is voluntary, and your godfather's dirty thoughts are also true, and he has never forced anyone, let alone instructed anyone." β
He is so indifferent, and so shrewd, he goes from right and wrong to pick himself cleanly.
Jiang Banxia smiled angrily: "No wonder the rivers and lakes say that Mr. Zhuzhou does not do loss-making business, but when I see him today, I will know what is going on." β
"You know what?" Her tone sank, and a smile suddenly burst into laughter: "I hate threats the most. β
This was a precursor to Jiang Banxia's anger, and the softer her tone, it meant that her patience was about to run out.
"Let's cooperate." Meng Zhuzhou suddenly sighed lightly: "You are really similar to him." β
A sentence without a beginning or an end completely made Jiang Banxia furious.
"Who are you talking about?"
"I still remember what I said to you last time, Jiang Guangping and his son died in Liaodong, and the factory guards sent Jinyi guards with high martial arts from all over the country to form secret agents to visit Liaodong, but your 'father and brother' are not outstanding."
Obviously, someone did it deliberately, the situation in Liaodong was chaotic at that time, and Jinyiwei, who went to Liaodong for an unannounced visit, could not survive at all without any real skills, and the doomed ending meant that there was a possibility of human operation in it.
"I want to know who ordered this." Meng Zhuzhou is kind and seductive.
It's a pity that Jiang Banxia doesn't eat him, because the answer is already in front of her eyes, and the person who can instruct the factory guard to be jealous of the old things can only be Emperor Qingwen or Emperor Qingwen.
Was everything in the beginning accidental? Of course not, after Emperor Qingwen learned that the remnants of the year had fled, he secretly searched for these people in private and killed them again, so her adoptive father 'Jiang Guangping' and her brother were eliminated as remnants.
In addition to Emperor Qingwen, only Cao Bo was the first to know the news, in order to repay Pang Zhong's promotion grace back then, he risked the risk and sent his most trusted godfather Cao Alcohol to Jiangjia Village to save people as soon as possible, which was the good of 'no reason'.
Emperor Qingwen still miscalculated the hearts of the people, and his extermination will only make the people who live more hateful.
"I'm just like you, I'm the orphan of that tragedy, but we're different." Meng Zhuzhou's gaze fell on Jiang Banxia's amber eyes: "You are really similar to my mother." β
Jiang Banxia was stunned, his mother? Pang Zhong's wife is a widow with children, so...
"Isn't it a surprise?" Meng Zhuzhou hooked a smile from the corner of his lips: "You and I are relatives, wouldn't it be better for us to cooperate strongly?" β
Jiang Banxia recovered from the shock, what about his relatives? Relatives may also defect, not to mention that she didn't see any emotion in Meng Zhuzhou's eyes, even if it was ridicule.
"It's okay to cooperate, but it's not necessary to recognize relatives."
Meng Zhuzhou narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "That's fine, my sister." β
