Prison.

Zhang Xiahua's mother, Mrs. Zhang, the patriarch of the Zhang clan in Yangzhou City, was imprisoned here.

Liu Jingye was ruthless, and after trying his best to find Zhang Xiahua to no avail, Liu Jingye, who had nowhere to vent his anger, carefully designed a conspiracy to trap the Zhang family, and then raided the Zhang family, and the day of annihilation was just around the corner.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Zhang family became the object of Liu Jingye's anger and hatred on behalf of Xi Xue. Why? Because Liu Jingye knew that Xi Xue, who was under the pseudonym Xi Tianxue, had an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Xiahua, and Zhang Xiahua's disappearance must have been involved in the Confederate forces.

It is too easy for an emperor to clean up a local Haoqiang family - so much so that Liu Jingye laughed at himself afterwards for actually working hard to design the Zhang family, which was simply taking off his pants and farting. Suddenly ascended to the emperor's throne, Liu Jingye obviously has not fully adapted to his position, and he doesn't know how to use it.

When Liu Jingye went to the prison accompanied by Mu Tie and stood in front of Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang still had to give him a military salute and say, "The sinner woman Zhang greets His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

Looking at the beautiful woman who was in prison but still graceful, mature and moving, Liu Jingye's throat squirmed a little.

In Liu Jingye's original plan, Zhang Xiahua and her beauty ** were also included in the harem, but now one has escaped without a trace, and the other can see but can't eat, the annoyance and restlessness in his heart can be imagined.

Hey? Isn't Liu Jingye an emperor? Isn't Zhang Xiahua locked up in a prison? Why can't I see it? Because Liu Jingye is not stupid to such a point, at least his current strength and prestige are not enough to support his reckless behavior.

After becoming the emperor, how many people stared at him, in case he accidentally leaked the news, he Liu Jingye still had the face to sit on the court and accept the ministers to bow down? Well, in fact, the main thing is that the strength is not enough, and the strength of the strength determines the thickness of the skin.

At this time, Liu Jingye took a slight breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhang, I will ask you again, where is your daughter Zhang Xiahua." ”

Zhang Xiahua's temptation to Liu Jingye is not only her body, but also the knowledge in her head! Now the "Qi Gathering Pill" has become a strategic material in the Han Empire, and Zhang Xiahua just participated in the refining of the "Qi Gathering Pill" and played a key role.

With the collapse of the "Zangfeng Martial Arts Gym" and the outbreak of the "Yangzhou Turmoil", the formula and refining method of the "Qi Gathering Pill" have been leaked, and it is better to take the opportunity to accumulate wealth and power. Liu Jingye had the heart to stop it but couldn't, and now the only thing he can do is to gather Chinese medicine masters to improve the formula of "Juqi Pill", improve the quality and efficacy, and use "market means" to deal with those hateful guys.

One of the purposes of dealing with the Zhang family is to lure Zhang Xiahua out, but the news about the Zhang family being raided and destroyed has been put on for so long, but it has no effect at all, and Liu Jingye is annoyed and frustrated.

"Only a little smart, no big picture", Qiao Sen's evaluation of Liu Jingye is so accurate.

Mrs. Zhang replied respectfully, only saying that she didn't know. She really didn't know, and even if she knew, she wouldn't die. When she let her daughter go, she had expected that there would be today, but she still let Zhang Xiahua escape, just to prevent her daughter's life from being lost. Mrs. Zhang's business is up and down, how sharp her eyes are, she knows who he is just by looking at the style and behavior of the new emperor, so even if she risks her own life, she must protect her daughter.

Liu Jingye said: "Are you really obsessed and determined to betray your motherland? ”

"The sinner woman does not know, and I beg His Majesty the Emperor to forgive her sins." The answer of the formula can no longer be formula. As for the "betrayal of the motherland", she didn't hear it at all.

Today's big man is not the previous big man at all, will she be loyal to the emperor who killed her just because of her own selfishness? Impossible!

"Humph!" Liu Jingye snorted dissatisfiedly, knowing that there was no result, he revealed the matter, "Your Zhang family's fifty-six immediate family members have now been escorted to the capital. It won't be long before you'll see each other. ”

A trace of pain and hatred flashed in Mrs. Zhang's lowered eyes, but she only knelt on the ground humbly on the surface, without saying a word. The emperor's butcher's knife has been raised, what else can she say? Begging for mercy?

"However, I am not a cruel and ruthless person, so I will open the grace and give you another chance at the end," In fact, it stands to reason that you can't see blood during the national funeral, but Liu Jingye's name is "sacrifice the spirit of the first emperor in the sky with the blood of traitors", no one will say anything when this banner is pulled out, and anything about the "first emperor" is now a forbidden area, "Right now, my Han is about to go to war against the Confederacy, and military funds are in short supply, I know that your Zhang family has been rich for many years, and you must have more than that bit of family resources." If you hand over the wealth of the Zhang family to the state for military use, it can be regarded as making up for the merits, and I can be extrajudicial and forgive, and children under the age of ten can be exempted from the death penalty. ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she only felt sad for the Han Empire, and it was ridiculous that the emperor of a country came to her naked to ask for money. But what else could she do? I can only say one sentence: "Thank you for your grace, the sinner woman should do her best for the country." Anyway, they are going to die, and keeping the money is cheaper than those money villages, so it is better to use it to buy a few Zhang family bloodlines.

……

Liu Jingye took Mu Tie out of the prison again, and after a few steps, he instructed Mu Tie: "Go to Jinling Qianzhuang quickly and take out this money, I don't need to say what to do next." ”

Do what? Of course, I used this money to buy the whereabouts of that Xi Ze. This kind of confidential matter can only be relieved if he leaves it to Mu Tie. Since Mu Tie followed him, except for the taste of failure in Xi Xue, everything else has been done properly.

After Mu Tie left, Liu Jingye glanced back at the Heavenly Gate and sneered.

Will he leave the remnants of the Zhang family's bloodline? Apparently not. Chop the grass without removing the roots, waiting for the spring breeze to grow? Liu Jingye has already decided to behead the direct bloodline of the Zhang family in ten days - before that, Zhang Xiahua will appear, if she is determined not to appear, then the last fifty-seven members of the Zhang family will definitely fall to the ground.

At this time, in the "harem" Shufang Courtyard, the current queen of the Han Empire, Lu Shi, was lying lazily on the bed, and after giving birth, she became more and more plump and jade, and her whole body exuded a kind of first-time motherhood. At the same time, there is a faint aura of awe-inspiring between the slender and sharp eyebrows, perhaps this is the so-called "mother's world" majesty.

As the queen appointed by the first emperor, Lu Jinfu's status and power are only slightly worse than Liu Jingye, and if you count the support of the important ministers, Lu Jinfu's edict is even a little more effective than Liu Jingye. Under the intentional operation of the Lu family's father and daughter, a force of Lu family's relatives still has a prototype and is gradually growing in the court.

Speaking of which, it is not that there are no important ministers and high-ranking officials in the court of the Han Empire who are loyal to the Liu family and loyal to Liu Jingye, but the current position of these people is actually very embarrassing. Considering the general trend of the country and the world, they were also against the war against the Confederacy, but Liu Jingye couldn't listen to their advice, and even thought that they were in collusion with the Lu family. This group of loyal generals is really embarrassed and lamented.

Don't look at Lu Jinfu living in the harem, she will milk the child and coax the child if she has nothing to do, in fact, many of the actions of the Lu family outside are planned by her - including the poisoning case of Liu Jingye, she did it completely seamlessly, but the luck was not good, and the old Chinese medicine doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Department saw through it, anyway, Lu Jinfu had already hated the old guy.

Strategize and win thousands of miles away! It can be used to describe Lu Jinfu. She already has a certain political talent, and she is forced by the form, in order to make a living for herself, but also for her son and family, the potential in her bones has been squeezed out. For example, now, while fanning the white and chubby Liu Che, Lu Jinfu is planning another plan in his mind.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and there was one more person in front of Lu Jinfu's eyes, a petite palace maid. If Liu Jingye was here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this palace maid was the palace maid serving in front of him!

"What's new?"

This petite palace maid completely lost her previous humble nervousness at this moment, and her expression was indifferent, "Mu Tie came to see him, they planned to implement the plan of slaughtering the town and planting stolen goods at the border, and then they went to the heavenly prison to ask for money from the woman of the Zhang family......"

"Asking for money? Ho, begging? ”

"It's to get enough money to buy a person's intelligence."

"Oh?"

"Xi Xuan!"

Hearing this name, Lu Jinfu almost sat up straight, "Why do you want to buy information about him at this time?" ”

"Because Xi Xue will come to the imperial capital, and he may even be in the imperial capital."

This dead man, is he thinking of a long life, what is he doing in the Han Dynasty? Didn't he know that the people of the entire Han Empire were eager to gnaw on his flesh and bones!?

Lu Jinfu frowned, "What is he doing in the Imperial Capital of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"I don't know."

"Find a way to find out about this palace."

"I'll do my best," the palace maid was silent for a moment: "The last thing failed, when are you going to do it again?" ”

Lu Jinfu lay down lazily again, and pointed at the tip of Xiao Liu Che's nose with his index finger: "What's the hurry?" Is the emperor so easy to kill? Hongu already has a new plan in mind, and it is being perfected little by little. It is difficult to kill Liu Jingye, and it is even more difficult to deal with the aftermath after killing him. Xiyuan Mei, don't mess around, don't forget the agreement between us. If you ruin my business, this palace can't spare you. ”

The petite palace maid, that is, Xiyuan Mei, said lightly: "Don't forget the agreement between us. With that, she vanished instantly.

Lu Jinfu looked at the sweetly sleeping little Liu Che and muttered softly: "That dead man shouldn't be for you, this little fat dun." As for himself, Lu Jinfu didn't believe it at all. It's just a past pleasure, the two had no friendship at all before, and it was not worth risking each other's lives for each other. It's just that Lu Jinfu is somewhat expecting that "that dead man" is here for her. This relationship has nothing to do with it, it's just that there is a man who is willing to risk his life, shouldn't she be happy and proud?
