Chapter 123: Disposition (I)
Cheng Shu has been escorted away by the Imperial Lieutenant Bureau, and the little guy in the Rouge Fang hurriedly rushed to the Linchuan Palace, and the guards stopped him, so he explained: "The villain is working under Cheng Zhushu, Cheng Zhushu has an accident, and the two eldest brothers of Lao let the villain go in to report to His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan." ”
Hearing this, the two tribes glanced at each other, looked at each other, stopped the one who was in the small house, gave the other part a look, and raised their chin towards the mansion, and the other part understood, so they went to the mansion and hurriedly looked for the courtyard where Xiao Ying lived.
At that time, Xiao Ying was meeting guests in the courtyard, and it was Taifu Yu Yuangui and Si Nongqing Lu Huilin who were meeting.
Xiao Ying sat in the main seat, hugging left and right to have fun, grapes and wine in front, and beauties on the side, which could not be described as leisurely and happy.
Yu Yuangui and Lu Huilin sat in the guest seat, one left and one right, although the two were not accompanied by beauties, but both pairs of eyes stared intently at the several beauties in front of them who were scratching their heads and dancing.
The tribe hurriedly came and said, "Your Highness, there is a person outside who said that something happened to Master Cheng and asked to see His Highness." ”
Xiao Ying looked unconvinced, sneered, and said, "Cheng rate? What could happen to him. ”
The song then said: "That person claimed to be working under Cheng Zhuji. ”
Working under Cheng Rate? Xiao Yingfang paid attention, he thought about it carefully, was it from Rouge Fang who was doing things under Cheng Shu's hands?
Xiao Ying unhurriedly pushed away the two half-faded beauties on the left and right, beckoned to the subordinate, and said impatiently: "Call him over." ”
"Yes," the tribe hurriedly went out again, and went to the gate of the house to lead the little servant to the courtyard.
As soon as the little guy entered the house, he immediately knelt down for Xiao Ying with a "poof", and said in a hurry: "The villain is the little guy in the Rouge Workshop, and I will see His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan." ”
"Get up and speak, you just said, what's wrong with Cheng Rate?" Xiao Ying raised her hand and motioned for the little guy to get up, but the little guy didn't dare to get up on his knees, so he only said: "Back to Your Highness, the people from the Tingwei Office went to the Rouge Fang, and they bombarded and arrested Master Cheng's book!" ”
"What did you say!" Xiao Ying was shocked, and immediately involuntarily stood up with the food table in front of him, but he was half-arched, and then he said in a slur and "You said that the people of the Tingwei Bureau, put ...... Put ......"
Xiao Ying was already so frightened that he couldn't speak, and before he finished speaking, he sat down on the stool behind him with a heavy butt, he still put one hand on the dining table, his eyes were wide open, but he didn't have any look, it seemed that he had no master.
Lu Huilin and Yu Yuangui were also so shocked that they got up and left the table one after another, and Lu Huilin also looked panicked, those restaurants, but he paid for Cheng Rate to open them!
At this time, the little guy said again: "There is another party who has sealed several restaurants with a seal, and the villain is illiterate, and he doesn't know what words are written on the seal......
"It must be someone from the Goshidai...... It must be someone from the Imperial Tower! Xiao Ying panicked, hurriedly stood up again, walked to the middle, looked at Yu Yuangui and Lu Huilin left and right, and asked with trembling hands: "What should I do...... What to do...... If Cheng rate gives up to the king, the king is afraid that he will ...... I'm afraid I'm going to ......"
I'm afraid that I will be demoted to the fief, even if I don't get demoted to the fief, I can't escape punishment, Xiao Ying didn't dare to say the consequences, but as soon as his legs were weak, he sat on the ground, and he also pointed to being able to sit on the position of the prince, if he was demoted to the fief, then all this would be over!
Lu Huilin was also afraid that he would be confessed by Cheng Rate, and he would inevitably be implicated at that time, so he said in horror: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this point, I'm afraid I will have to kill it!" ”
"No!" Yu Yuangui refuted and said: "This matter is not trivial, you must not act rashly!" ”
Lu Huilin was impatient, "Then what does Taifu think to do!" ”
Yu Yuangui said: "According to the old minister's humble opinion, this matter needs to be discussed with the noble concubine. ”
"That's right! Right! Ask the mother! Ask the mother! Xiao Ying said, and walked out in a hurry, and entered the palace in a hurry.
In the Hanzhang Palace, Concubine Xie was sitting upright in the main hall, Xiao Ying knelt in front of her, and told the truth of the matter in fear, and then grabbed the corner of Xie Guiconcubine's skirt with both hands, raised her head and said with a crying voice: "Mother, please save your son......"
When Concubine Xie heard this, she was so angry that she clenched her fists and said hatefully: "What a waste!" ”
Xiao Ying didn't dare to squeak, and Concubine Xie was suspicious: "This is so good, how could Your Majesty know about this, isn't it the prince and the king of Wuling who are using some tricks?" ”
"Mother, your eyebrows are burning right now, don't ask who designed the sons, hurry up and think of a way!"
Concubine Xie raised her foot, kicked Xiao Ying down fiercely, and scolded: "Useless things, if something happens, you will kneel down and cry and cry, beg this and ask for that!" What did you do earlier? I said earlier, the Qinglou gambling house can't be opened, you don't listen, but now it's good, in the end, something still happened! ”
"I ......" Xiao Ying made Xie Guifei scold her bloody, and she never dared to come out, let alone fight back, he only cried: "Erchen knows, Erchen doesn't dare to mess around anymore, but now...... Now that Cheng Shu has been arrested and sent to Tingwei Prison, Zheng Hui is a ruthless person, and he is openly and secretly colluding with Lao Wu, and he is bound to torture Cheng Shu and force him to confess his son......"
When Xie Guifei heard this, she snorted coldly, turned her face away, and stopped looking at Xiao Ying, but Xiao Ying knelt down and crawled to Xie Guifei, pulling Xie Guifei's sleeves with both hands, and begged: "Mother, my father has always not favored his sons, he has already planned to send his sons to Linchuan, if Cheng rate will give up his sons, then the ministers will be finished!" ”
"You know that, too! Yes? Concubine Xie Guifei was so angry that her eyes were full of stars, her whole body trembled, and she pointed at Xiao Ying's nose and scolded: "You know that your father intends to send you to the fiefdom, but you don't know how to restrain yourself, and you will cause trouble for me all day long, why did I give birth to such a waste of you!" ”
Xiao Ying was scolded by her, and she heard too much like "waste", "stupid", and "useless things...... Such and even more unpleasant words were now accustomed to it, and he muttered, "Mother, or ...... Or Erchen sent someone to Tingwei Prison to kill Cheng Yu......"
Before the words fell, Xie Guifei slapped her with a loud slap, and she scolded: "Idiot! The people around you, do you think you can get rid of it! If you go to kill people now, your father won't be able to guess that it was you who did it? ”
Xiao Ying covered her flushed cheeks with one hand, knelt on the ground and looked at Concubine Xie pitifully, and said, "This is not, that is not either, is it just sitting and waiting for death?" ”
Concubine Xie stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about countermeasures without delay, she suddenly said: "Go find a few people to rob the prison and release him." ”
"Released him?" Xiao Ying was surprised, knelt on the ground and turned around, looked at Concubine Xie in disbelief, and said, "Mother, Cheng Shuo, this guy is not a good person, if you let him go, I'm afraid it will be more risky than killing him!" ”
Concubine Xie glanced at him and reprimanded: "Haven't you heard of 'wanting to capture and indulge'!" ”
Xiao Ying was stupid, her mind didn't turn for a while, and she looked at Xie Guifei with a blank face, Xie Guifei explained: "Let him go first, and then arrest him back, you go to arrest him personally, if he resists, you will kill him with your own hands, so that your father and emperor know that you killed your relatives in righteousness, and the Qinglou gambling house opened by Tongcheng has nothing to do with it." ”
It's not the first time that Concubine Xie has done the righteous killing of relatives.
Xiao Ying finally understood what Concubine Xie meant, and he hurriedly smiled: "The mother concubine is smart! Erchen understood! ”
Concubine Xie glanced at him with a cold face and said, "Why don't you arrange it soon?" ”
Xiao Ying hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Erchen will arrange it!" ”
He said that, and left the palace in a hurry.
Zheng Hui personally led people to escort Cheng rate to Tingwei Prison, and then went into the palace to resume his life, when he entered the palace, Li Rong happened to be out of the palace, thinking that he had been reinstated with Xiao Daocheng, and when he entered the palace to resume his life, he saw Xiao Daocheng sitting in front of the bookcase of the Shiqian Palace, supporting his forehead with one hand, kneading his frowning eyebrows, his eyes were closed, tired, and seemed to be very irritable and anxious.
"Your Majesty, the minister has sent Cheng Rate to prison and is waiting for Your Majesty's fate."
Xiao Daocheng opened his eyes, and when he saw Zheng coming back, he put down his hand, put it on his lap, sat upright, and said solemnly: "First detain him in Tingwei Prison, and when tomorrow comes down, you will escort him to the Qiandian, and I will personally interrogate him." ”
"Yes."
Zheng Hui did not return to the palace after leaving the palace, but went straight to the Wuling Palace, and he said to Xiao Ye with a smile: "There is an accident on the side of King Linchuan." ”
"Oh? What's wrong? The incident happened suddenly, Xiao Ye didn't know that something had happened to Xiao Ying, and when Zheng Hui mentioned it, he was still surprised.
Zheng Hui said truthfully: "At noon today, Xia Guan was staying in the Imperial Lieutenant Office, and was suddenly summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and met the Imperial Doctor on the way, and also said that His Majesty was urgently summoned. ”
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Xiao Ye smiled, as if he had never heard of it, and he felt fresh, and he asked again: "What did my father say?" ”
"Your Majesty said that Cheng Yu will be detained first, and he will personally interrogate him tomorrow," Zheng replied, and Xiao Ye asked again: "Do you know who is on the secret music?" ”
Zheng Hui thought about it carefully and guessed: "I'm afraid it's not the prince's side?" ”
Xiao Ye shook his head after consideration, and said, "No, he is not afraid of offending the third brother, so why should he be impeached in secret?" ”
Zheng Hui thought again: "Could it be ...... Is it really irrelevant? ”
"It doesn't matter who impeached him, since he impeached the third brother, then he is the king's nobleman," Xiao Ye said, and couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he was really ecstatic.
Zheng Hui also showed a cruel smile, wild and uninhibited.
Xiao Ye laughed enough before stopping, he suddenly said: "Even if something happened to Cheng Rate, he must be inseparable from the third brother, with the third brother's temperament, he will definitely send someone to Tingwei Prison tonight to kill Cheng Rate, you send someone to carefully watch the movement of the Linchuan Palace, as soon as there is a disturbance, immediately report to the king, and then ask a few people to secretly protect Cheng Rate, and save his dog's life!" ”
"Yes, Xia Guan understands."
Xiao Ying had the intention to kill Cheng rate, this is a fact, not only Xiao Ye thought of it, but Xie Zheng also thought of it.
She had already said goodbye to Xiao Chen, and on the way back to the Hou Mansion on foot with Yuzhi, she also said: "Now that Cheng Rate is in prison, the King of Linchuan must be on pins and needles, and he will definitely send someone to Tingwei Prison tonight to kill people and kill people, you pay attention to Cheng Rate, whether he is injured or disabled, he just can't die!" Otherwise, I'll be busy these days. ”
"Yes," Yuzhi replied, followed behind Xie Zheng, and replied, "The slave will find a way to sneak into Tingwei Prison." ”
As he was talking, the master and servant had walked back to the door of the Hou Mansion, Xie Zheng suddenly seemed to notice something, stopped inexplicably, glanced back at the surroundings, Yuzhi saw the situation, and asked vigilantly: "What's wrong with the lady?" ”
Seeing that Xie Zheng glanced around, his eyes were like torches, and Yuzhi was also busy looking around, Xie Zheng sneered, and said lightly: "It seems that he is a master." ”
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the house without looking back, and Yuzhi also followed quickly, following closely behind.
The Lang Jun who was hiding behind the stone lion finally appeared at this moment, and it was Chen Qingzhi, a lieutenant of the Northern Army!
Thinking that he came and went without a trace, such a cautious and careful tracking was actually discovered by the county lord of Shanyin!
Chen Qingzhi looked at Xie Zheng's back, which had already walked away, and said to himself: "It's really a hidden little fox!" ”
At night, Yuzhi flew up the wall, quietly came to Tingwei Prison, attacked a jailer from behind, changed into his clothes, and easily blended into the prison, she found the cell where Cheng Shu was held, and saw Cheng Shu sitting in it eating.
Yuzhi pretended to be a jailer, guarding not far from the cell, looking at Cheng Shu gobbling up food, and whispered, "I'm not afraid of poison." ”
When she said this, she was suddenly shocked, yes, this food can't be poisonous! Thinking of this, she hurriedly picked up a stone on the ground and secretly threw it at Cheng Shu's hand.
Cheng Rate's hand was painful, he didn't hold his job steady for a while, and immediately fell to the ground and fell to pieces, Cheng Rate was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and it was not easy to eat, he was so plotted, he looked up and shouted: "Who! Who! ”
The jailer heard him call, and impatiently came over and scolded: "What are you shouting at night! ”
Before the words fell, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside, and the jailers drew their swords one after another, Yuzhi thought to herself, it must be the king of Linchuan who sent someone here to kill Cheng Cheng, she didn't shoot easily, but quietly retreated, hiding in the dark to watch the situation.
Before long, I saw four men in black holding red knives to kill in, and several jailers inside stepped forward to meet the enemy, and within two strokes, they were already lying here.
Cheng Shu had already guessed that these assassins were coming for him, and he was frightened, so he curled up in the corner, hugged his head and begged for mercy, and said, "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”
The assassin swung his knife and cut the chains, rushed in and pulled Cheng Shu away, and said, "Master Cheng, Your Highness has sent us to save you, come with us!" ”
Cheng Shu was stunned, and before he could react, several assassins had already carried him out of the way.
When they got out of Tingwei Prison, Yuzhi also secretly followed, she went outside, but saw that there were two other people who were also following the group of five, all walking in front of Yuzhi, Yuzhi had doubts in her heart, secretly wondering if those two people were from the Tingwei Bureau, but she was afraid of being discovered by the two people, so she had to follow from afar.
This followed, and he followed to the outskirts of the city.
