Chapter 17: The Scourge of Prison
Kang Yufei returned to the room and sat in front of the dresser, her face collapsed, and a few tears fell. She is about to get married, and now she feels it strongly.
"Yo, what's going on, why are you crying? Didn't you see the emperor? Yi Min, who was packing up her things, saw her like this, and hurriedly came over and asked.
Kang Yufei wrapped her arms around Yi Min's waist, leaned her head on her, and said aggrievedly, "Yi Min, I'm about to marry the prince, I'm going to get married." β
Yi Min was in a fog, "You ran out of the house, didn't you come to the capital to marry the prince like this?" β
Hearing Yi Min say this, Kang Yufei couldn't help it even more, and cried loudly.
Of course this is not the case, she Kang Yufei originally thought that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion could not be charged with resisting the decree or bullying the king, so she gritted her teeth and entered the palace. After entering the palace, I secretly hoped that I could help my father and a few brothers in the palace to say some good things, so that they would not be worried every day. From beginning to end, she ignored that she had entered the palace with the will to give marriage, and now she knew that she was about to marry someone she didn't like very much. How not to make people uncomfortable.
As soon as the prince stepped into the Qingshui Pavilion, he heard the howl coming from the side room, "Zhao Baojiang, don't you ask her what she is crying about, I'm not dead yet." β
Zhao Baojiang listened to the prince's words, obediently knocked on the door, one or two times, only heard crying, and did not hear anyone answer, "Lord Yufei, what's wrong with you, His Royal Highness the prince is worried that you will be wronged, let the servants come to ......"
Yi Min opened a crack in the door, glanced at Zhao Baojiang, and only lost a sentence, "What are you arguing about?" Our county lord thinks his life is not good, so he cries, what's wrong? Are you afraid that the tears will drown this light water pavilion? β
Zhao Baojiang pouted, this job is really getting harder and harder, how to deal with this.
He rubbed his face, smiled reluctantly and went to the prince to reply, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Lord Yufei just hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and I feel a little emotional in my heart, and I think of ......"
The prince raised his palm and slapped a chestnut on Zhao Baojiang's forehead, "What kind of clichΓ© is talking to me, what did she say?" β
The corners of Zhao Baojiang's mouth drooped, learning Yi Min's momentum, and said that word again, with the arrogance of anger, he learned nine out of ten.
The prince was stunned for a moment, but suddenly burst out laughing, "Okay, the girls in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei are all like this, it's really hard." Laughing too hard also caused the wound to hurt, but in the end, he still covered the wound, frowned, and silently cried out in pain.
Here, Kang Yufei was sobbing and sobbing, as if she had cried enough, she rubbed her eyes and looked around, "Where is Mother Fang?" Only then did she notice that she hadn't seen Fang's mother for a day.
"I said I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I've been there for a long time."
"Is there any news from home that you want to give me?" Just after crying for a long time, Kang Yufei grinned again.
However, this is not a letter from home, but a message quietly passed into the palace from outside.
The crown prince and Kang Yufei received the news almost at the same time.
It's good news from heaven, the prince couldn't help but clap his hands when he heard the news, "Okay, I'm worried that there is no reason to deal with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but I sent it to the door." β
Li Kai stood with his hands behind his back, but he was not as excited as the prince, "But it's a pity that no one has stolen anything, so it's not a lot of good news." β
Fang's mother whispered a few words softly in Kang Yufei's ear.
Kang Yufei's face changed greatly, and he couldn't help it for a while, and cried out in surprise, "The third brother was arrested?" β
"Kang Yuche? Caught, caught, caught? Yi Min also couldn't believe it when he heard it.
"By whom? Who else dares to arrest the third prince of Zhenbei Hou Mansion? Kang Yufei's anger surged. The third brother is now in the prison of the Zongren Mansion. β
"This, what crime did he commit to being pressed in the prison of the Zongren Mansion?" Yi Min knows that this matter is not simple. Hurriedly asked why.
Fang's mother hurriedly tugged at the sleeves of the two of them and motioned for them to be quieter.
"Harbouring traitors." Although Kang Yufei lowered his voice, the anger in his throat still erupted with the momentum of gritting his teeth.
Yi Min's footsteps were unsteady and he sat down in a chair.
This is a capital crime, and it is an inescapable crime.
"Is it because of the Zhong family?" Kang Yufei asked cautiously.
Fang's mother nodded.
This is really indefensible. As everyone knows, Hou Kang of Zhenbei and Zhong Rongsheng, the commander of the Yuanshan Army, are inseparable friends, and their children are also close friends. A few months ago, the Yuanshan Army and Zhong Rongsheng suddenly took on the name of the rebel army and were hunted down by the whole country. At that time, the Marquis of Zhenbei sent people to the palace to make trouble a few times, but it was useless.
At present, Zhong Rongsheng and his youngest son Zhong Yunyi have no news, and everyone is rumoring that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has hidden them privately.
"County Lord, could this be a misunderstanding? It is impossible for the people of the Zhong family to still be in the capital, right? Yi Min asked.
Kang Yufei glanced at Fang's mother, and could probably guess a few points in her heart.
"Who is it?"
Fang's mother raised her head, but she didn't dare to look at Kang Yufei's eyes. "The two lieutenants of the second son of the Zhong family, as well as Miss Miao."
It seems that there is no chance of overturning the case.
"What about the rest of the Zhong family?"
"I don't know."
"Fang's mother."
"County Lord, I really don't know, in the past few months, I have indeed sent away some people from the Far Mountain Army one after another, but I have never seen the important ones."
The room fell silent.
Kang Yufei didn't understand, although the third brother was a little reckless, he was not a brainless person, how could he appear in the capital without warning and suddenly be arrested. And Sister Miao, why are you still in the capital?
"Mother Fang, I want to see the prince."
The news of Kang Yuche, the third son of the Kang family, being arrested, spread to Youyun City, even though Kang Huaide, the experienced Marquis of Zhenbei, still didn't hold back the rush and fainted. A few days ago, I just knew that my baby daughter had entered the palace, and this would put another son in prison.
The Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was in a mess, people from all walks of life were sent out, and all kinds of news were recovered, but none of them were useful.
Kang Yuqing, the second son of the Kang family, didn't look flustered. The eldest son, Kang Yutong, looked at the second brother's calm appearance, and his heart was a lot calmer. Speaking of which, all kinds of bad luck during this period of time are not because their family is in charge of the 300,000 border defenders in Zhenbei Houfu. Without that, everything would be easy.
"Yuqing has been sitting here for a day, let's go and rest early."
"Big brother hasn't slept yet."
"Can't sleep."
Kang Yuqing looked back and smiled, "I can't sleep either." I'm wondering if the lives of the third brother and the younger sister are more important or the Zhenbei Army is more important. β
"What do you mean?"
"Alas, all these years of doing business, I have been thinking about some things in my head, I am talking nonsense, don't mind my eldest brother."
"Not really, I'm curious, which do you think is more important?"
"Third brother and little sister."
"You're saying 300,000 people can't compare to two people?"
"No, I mean, without the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and without us, someone else will naturally take over the 300,000 people, but without us to save them, these two little ghosts will die."
"So you're the same as I thought." Kang Yutong clapped his hands slightly and smiled. "However, I don't think we can let people lead the nose this time."
"Big brother seems to have a plan?" Kang Yuqing looked at Kang Yutong with a smile, suppressing his thoughts in his heart. He felt that his idea was too bold, and he still didn't dare to say it.
"Well, let's make an anti-guest move." Kang Yutong also smiled, "I'm afraid that my father won't agree." β
"What are you going to do, big brother?"
"I'm thinking, if we hand over the military power of Zhenbei......"
Kang Yuqing's palms were numb, and the tea cup in his hand fell on the stone table, making a crisp sound, but this could not cover his pleasant laughter at all.
"Big brother, let's really think of going together."
Kang Yutong also laughed, "Okay, then let's wait for Dad to wake up and talk together." β
A gust of wind blew at night, and the coolness did not stop the interest of the two of them drinking and chatting.
