The prison of the Criminal Department.

Fu Zhengbai saw the emperor, although he didn't want to see the emperor, but he still had the number of courtesies he should have, and he couldn't let people catch him, he was an honest man after all.

"Long live my emperor, long live!" Fu Zhengbai knelt on the ground.

Song Xuanqing stood with his hands in his hands and looked coldly at the old man kneeling in the cell, "It's so old, and you have entered the prison of the Criminal Department, it must be uncomfortable, right?" ”

Whether it's the body or the mind, it should be quite uncomfortable.

Although Fu Zhengbai is not a high-ranking official, the Fu family's business is all over the world, and it can be regarded as a model of the rich and rivaling the country.

"If you go back to the emperor, you will feel good or not, you know in your heart, but if it is worth it, you will be willing to die." Just like back then, he raised Fu Jiuqing without hesitation.

Whether it's worth it or not, I know it in my heart.

Whoever asks for the exit is not counted.

Song Xuanqing had a dark face, and sat on a chair not far away, "Let me ask you, where did you hide those two children?" ”

"Your Majesty, since the grass people are already here, do you think the grass people will tell you the whereabouts of the child?" The implication is that if you ask, it will be in vain, and I will not tell you whether I am alive or dead.

Anyway, if you don't have a child, you have to die.

Song Xuanqing wrapped his back molars, "Don't you say yes?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is not a question of whether to say it or not, but it is resolutely not to say it." Fu Zhengbai raised his head, "In addition, the grass people really don't know the whereabouts of these two grandchildren." ”

He bit the word "grandson" very hard and made his position clear.

How could the grandson of the Fu family be handed over to the emperor?

He Fu Zhengbai has never done anything earth-shattering in his life, and the only thing he has done extremely well is to raise Fu Jiuqing and fulfill him, Jin Yue, and ...... When the sun was waning, he saw his two little grandchildren, and he had no regrets about dying.

"Fu Zhengbai!" Song Xuanqing gritted her back molars, "Do you really think I won't do anything to an old man like you?" ”

Fu Zhengbai knelt up straight, "If the emperor wants to do it, just come, the grass people are people who have half of their bodies in the ground, and they don't care about life and death." ”

"What about your Fu family?" Song Xuanqing asked coldly, "Don't you care anymore?" ”

Fu Zhengbai didn't speak.

Saying that you don't care, that's angry talk, it's a lie.

Fu Zhengbai asked himself if he was a rational and sober person, and he didn't bother to deal with the emperor with such angry words, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, the people look up, if you want to kill someone, who can stop you?" What can the people do if they are grass mustard? ”

"You say I kill innocents?" Song Xuanqing's face darkened, "Fu Zhengbai, you are so bold, you dare to let go of the two children privately, do you know the consequences?" ”

"The grass people know that the emperor wants to take the two grandsons of the grass people and blackmail Jiuqing and his wife." Fu Zhengbai is not a fool, he has traveled south and north, he has never seen anything, and what people are ...... I haven't figured it out, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you made a mistake in your wishful thinking, and Jiuqing and his wife didn't plan to have anything to do with you." ”

Song Xuanqing curled up the fist in his sleeve, "Where is the child?" ”

"The emperor is thinking about killing the two of them, do you really think that the grass people don't know anything?" Fu Zhengbai stiffened his neck, "Yin'er and Ning'er, it is for your crown prince that they will venture to Kyoto City, and they will enter the palace and appear in front of you." Your Majesty, you must have a conscience in life, even if you don't have kindness, you should talk about morality. ”

Song Xuanqing took the case, "Presumptuous, you talk to me about your conscience and morality?" Fu Jiuqing and Jin Yue have talked about conscience and morality today? They relied on me and the queen mother to have the glory and wealth they have today, but in the end? Quietly hibernating in the territory of my Great Zhou, taking away the entire women's army, the troops are on the side, where is the intention? ”

"Soldiers?" Fu Zhengbai smiled, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you haven't led a soldier, right?" But whoever garrisons the army must occupy the mountain as the king and the city as the base, but if you look at Jiuqing and Jin Yue, what do they occupy? It's just a seclusion in the market and a fairy-like life! The days are not passed, is there still a royal law here? ”

Song Xuanqing didn't expect that Fu Zhengbai would be able to speak so well, and looking at his age, it was actually extremely difficult to deal with.

Alive, a hard bone.

"Wang Fa? The whole world is mine, you tell me about the king's law? Song Xuanqing sneered, "The people of the Fu family are really arrogant. ”

Fu Zhengbai was embarrassed to say this, arrogant? He has been doing business honestly and dutifully in his life, and he has never been with arrogance, but he didn't expect to be old, but he actually heard the word arrogance here in the emperor.

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment." Fu Zhengbai took a deep breath, "It's really a blessing for the grass people to get such a high evaluation from the emperor. ”

Who is arrogant?

Who is not moral?

Scold......

"Someone!" Song Xuanqing brushed his sleeves and sat down, "I'll sit here today, waiting for you to spit out the truth." ”

Fu Zhengbai's pupils shrank suddenly, what does this mean, is it to torture him? The emperor wants to look at him and wait for him to tell the truth, so this bitter punishment will be difficult to escape today.

Even so, even if he picked up his old skin, he would not tell the emperor that there was a word about the Fu family's brothers and sisters.

"Master Fu, after all, you are old, look at our torture tools here, I'm afraid that if you can't stand it twice, your old bones will have to be demolished." The cool official sighed, "What about you, tell the truth honestly, so as not to suffer at such an age." ”

Fu Zhengbai pulled the corners of his lips, "I, Fu Zhengbai, have never done anything bad in my life, even if I am punished heavily?" I'm so old, half of my body is in the ground, am I still afraid of covering the coffin board? Come! Just come. ”

Back then, he dared to shelter Fu Jiuqing and raise Fu Jiuqing as a son, so he thought that there would be this day.

What about the punishment service?

He Fu Zhengbai dared to send the child away, so he dared to bear everything, and if he wanted to kill him, he would pay the entire Fu family. With such an emperor, what hope can the common people have?

The chains collided and made a clanging sound, which was especially harsh in the silence of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Fu Zhengbai's face was fearless, and he let these people tie him to the torture rack, he raised his head and glanced at the emperor with great disdain, quite a heroic and fearless momentum.

"Really?" Song Xuanqing asked.

Fu Zhengbai hooked his lips, how contemptuous, "If the emperor wants to kill, he will kill, and the grass people will never frown!" ”

"For the sake of two wild things, you will lose the entire Fu family, is it worth it? There are so many people in the Fu family, and there are many people who are related to your blood and blood, so you can't bear to let them be buried with you? Song Xuanqing asked coldly.

Fu Zhengbai stared at him, his eyes were calm, "The emperor is wrong, that's not a wild thing, that's my grandson and granddaughter, I, Fu Zhengbai, have nothing to do in this life, I can only do business, and I only have gold and silver in my eyes, but there is one thing that I will not regret until I die, that is, Jiuqing and Jin Yue, great benevolence and righteousness, benefiting the country and the people, I am proud of them, and the Fu family is also full of glory." ”

"Do it!" Song Xuanqing already disdained to talk nonsense with him.

Today, he will pry out the whereabouts of those two children from the mouth of this old thing.

When the whip was drawn, Fu Zhengbai gritted his teeth and shivered, the severe pain made his face pale instantly, and even his lips were bitten and bleeding, but even so, he was so stubborn that he didn't say a word.

A whip is nothing, a sharp blade is added, and he will not compromise.

At the moment when the cool officer raised the whip again, there was a sudden movement outside the door, it seemed to be a little noisy, and even the footsteps were doubly messy, and I don't know what happened?

"Check it out!" Song Xuanqing spoke.

Hai Sheng saluted and ran out quickly.

Not much, and hurriedly ran back, and his face completely changed color, "Your Majesty, outside, outside......"

"You've never been a flustered person, what's wrong with you? What kind of system is this? Song Xuanqing reprimanded coldly, "Speak well!" ”

Hai Sheng knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the people below came to report, saying that it was the people in Kyoto City, who sent a letter to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and ......"

When he said this, Hai Sheng glanced back at Fu Zhengbai on the torture rack, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious.

"What Book of the People?" Song Xuanqing immediately got up.

The book of all people, in the past, I only heard the first emperor mention it, who knows, today it will appear here to him, it is incredible, and it is ...... What a bastard!

"The people of Kyoto City gathered together to ask for their lives for the Fu family, and asked the emperor to see Princess Yuanhe and Qin Beilan, the Murong family was wronged for more than 20 years, and the Murong generals and troops were stationed at the border passes, protecting the Taiping of the Great Zhou and letting go of the Fu family." Hai Sheng's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end, he didn't dare to raise his head to see the emperor's face. Sogou Library

You don't have to look at it to know that the emperor's complexion at this moment must be difficult to see the extreme.

"Ask for the Fu family's life?" Song Xuanqing was murderous, "Demagoguery, plotting against people, what credit do you dare to have?" The wolf's ambition is nothing more than that! ”

Fu Zhengbai laughed, laughing so mockingly, "The emperor is stubborn, deaf and blind, and he can't even hear the voices of the people, you are the son of heaven and the monarch in vain!" ”

A son of heaven who does not listen to public opinion is no different from pickled things.

"Palm!" Song Xuanqing was furious.

The sound of canes suddenly sounded, and the sharp voice shook the entire prison, "Who! Dare! ”

Eyebrows raised suddenly, and Song Xuanqing looked at the entrance angrily.

Gu Baiyi hugged the Queen Mother, and stepped into the prison of the Criminal Department, and the two most noble women of Da Zhou walked into the gloomy prison of the Criminal Department.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother no longer cares about the government, but now she appears here, obviously there is a reason why she has to appear, and her majesty has not diminished back then.

"The Queen Mother?" Song Xuanqing immediately collected the anger on his body and saluted respectfully, "Why are you here?" ”

The Queen Mother was on a cane, supported by Gu Baiyi, and slowly walked in front of Fu Zhengbai.

"The Queen Mother?" Song Xuanqing quickly blocked their way, "This is the prison of the Criminal Department, the queen shouldn't take her mother to such a place, let's go back earlier!" ”

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "The emperor probably forgot, how did the Mourning family get to where it is today, not to mention what kind of prison it is, the Mourning family has even been to the cold palace, are you still afraid of this kind of place?" ”

"The Queen Mother?" Song Xuanqing is the most difficult to be the queen mother, this is one of the few weaknesses in his life, "You are not in good health, the yin qi here is too heavy, it will inevitably collide with you, or will the retainer accompany you to go out first?" ”

The Queen Mother pointed at Fu Zhengbai, "Let him go." ”

"The Queen Mother?" Song Xuanqing was cold, "Didn't you say that you don't care about the government?" This is a key criminal of the Criminal Department. ”

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "Is it to commit a crime or to be a family, the mourning family knows in their hearts, does the emperor want to punish the nine clans of the Fu family?" Jin Yue is the righteous daughter of the mourning family, and she married the righteous son of the Fu family, so is the mourning family also within the nine clans? Is the emperor going to throw the mourning family into the prison together, and then pull it to the noon gate to be beheaded? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Song Xuanqing was stunned.

He knew that the Queen Mother was angry, and whenever Jin Yue happened, the Queen Mother was always unable to calm down, and she would always be biased, which ...... Song Xuanqing knew it.

So in dealing with the affairs of the Fu family, he thought of a way to solve it quickly.

Who knows, it's still a lot of long nights!

"Don't dare?" The Queen Mother sneered, her face was not less majestic, but more disappointed, "Does the emperor dare to go around the streets of Kyoto City with the mourning family and see what the people of Kyoto City are doing?" ”

Song Xuanqing opened his mouth, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed raw.

"Don't the emperor dare?" The Queen Mother sneered, "The Book of All the People has been sent to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and the emperor still insists on doing it, huh?" It's really a good son from the mourning family, it's the mourning family...... I can't stop the wisdom of the first emperor! ”

Song Xuanqing bowed his head, "Queen Mother, the matter of Wanminshu is that group of Diao people......"

If the emperor lets the people live and work in peace and contentment, who doesn't want the family to be safe and happy? Emperor, you are the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven! If there is a punishment in heaven, the people will be woe. The Queen Mother was bloody, and she was heartfelt, "Don't put yourself on personal self-interest, this is what the first emperor said before his death, have you forgotten?" ”

Song Xuanqing's throat rolled, "Erchen, don't dare to forget." ”

"No, you've forgotten, you've forgotten!" The Queen Mother brushed her sleeves and pointed outside, "You go outside, listen to the voices of the people, and see what you have done?" The mourning family is not scolding you as the queen mother today, but as a mother, the son does not teach the father, and the son does not teach the mother! It is the mourning family that has no way to teach the children, and it is the mourning family that is ashamed of the first emperor and the mourning family...... Mourning ......"

Song Xuanqing was anxious, "Queen Mother, these things have nothing to do with you, it is the sons and daughters who feel that this matter is quite strange, and the two children suddenly disappeared, I am afraid that there are evil people who are causing trouble, so I ......"

"The emperor has learned to lie, has he?" The Queen Mother shook her head, "You have no jokes, the emperor's words and deeds represent the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the symbol of the Great Zhou, how can the emperor be honest?" Do you really think that when the mourning family stays in the deep palace, they are blind and blind, and they don't know anything? Song Xuanqing glanced at Fu Zhengbai, anything else can be faked, the bloody whip marks on Fu Zhengbai's body cannot be faked.

"Jin Yue is the righteous daughter of the mourning family, the mourning family has high hopes for her, if she betrays the Great Zhou, the mourning family will be the first to kill her relatives in righteousness, but if the emperor wants to kill her for no reason, disaster to her relatives and children, the mourning family will never agree." The Queen Mother was loud.

She absolutely believes in Jin Yue's character, and she knows what the emperor's resentment is in her heart.

Since the resentment is difficult to dispel and it is useless to retreat, then suppress him.

Thoroughly, suppressed!

Otherwise, this resentment will break out, and I don't know how many people will be harmed in the future?

The Queen Mother is already so old, and she doesn't know how long she can live, she is really worried, afraid that if she closes her eyes, the emperor will no longer have anyone to cure, and then he will toss a lot, so that everyone will betray and leave.

She didn't want to see that day, and she couldn't bear to let these people around her be poisoned by the emperor.

How many people the first emperor killed back then, the queen mother saw with her own eyes; Song Yunkui harmed the 100,000 troops at the border in order to be obsessed, and she also saw it with her own eyes.

Queen Mother, I'm really afraid!

The men of the Song family all have their own thirst for killing, they will focus on one thing, do whatever it takes, and do whatever it takes.

"I don't mean that!" Song Xuanqing took a step back.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Let the people go." ”

It's useless to say more.

No one dared to move, but Gu Baiyi opened his mouth, "The Queen Mother's decree, who dares to disobey?" ”

Song Xuanqing's gaze suddenly fell on Gu Baiyi, his eyes were cold, even his beloved woman was going to betray him?

Gu Baiyi was fearless, and saw that the people below let go of Fu Zhengbai and rescued him from the torture rack, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, the situation is already like this, the emperor can think whatever he likes. "The queen shouldn't ......"

"It's the mourning family who wants to be accompanied by white clothes." The Queen Mother interrupted the emperor's words, "The mourning family is old, and the phoenix seal of this harem has long been handed over to the queen, so there are some things that the queen has to carry." ”

Song Xuanqing didn't speak, her lips pursed.

"Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, Queen! Fu Zhengbai saluted hard.

The color behind the back is not too good-looking, "Fang Ze!" ”

"Yes!" Fang Ze quickly stepped forward and bent down to pick Fu Zhengbai up, "Master Fu, are you okay?" ”

Fu Zhengbai smiled palely, cold sweat was still hanging on his forehead, and his legs trembled with pain, "The grass people are fine, they are just old, and if they don't care, they are worried about the Empress Dowager Lao and the Queen Mother." ”

"Get out!" The Queen Mother didn't say much, turned around and left.

The emperor was reprimanded, he didn't dare to let go of a fart, so he had a black face, followed behind the Queen Mother and Gu Baiyi, and his resentment was hard to dissipate......

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department trembled and held the Book of the People, and looked at the three most noble people in this dynasty tremblingly, hey, how can this be good? said that it was the Book of the People, but in fact it was a hot potato, so hot that his three souls were not visible, and his brain was so frightened that he fainted.

"What is this?" Song Xuanqing gritted his back molars.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said in a low voice, "Back to the emperor's words, ten thousand, ten thousand people!" ”

In an instant, Song Xuanqing only felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, burning all his reason to the ground, "Bastard, this kind of thing can also be picked up, polluting your eyes?" I see your head shaky, don't you want it? ”

"The emperor forgives his sins!" The criminal department Shangshu knelt on the ground.

The Queen Mother understands that the emperor can't resist her and Baiyi, and he will sprinkle his anger on others!

Oh, don't worry, there's still gas in front, this ...... Just the beginning.

"I've really raised a bunch of waste." Song Xuanqing was furious, "You can't dispose of anything like this, what's the use of you?" ”

As soon as the emperor was angry, he knelt down in the dark, and he didn't dare to come out.

The Queen Mother snorted lightly, "Everything has been sent, how can there be any reason to push it out, without all the people, how can there be a Great Zhou?" Emperor, let's go! ”
