Chapter 98: Confession
Now......
The Xiao family, the lord of Zhuyang County, is discussing the general trend of the world with Emperor Yongtai, discussing the Tao family, and even Queen Tao.
The Northern Army and the Southern Army went south in batches, fought bravely, and were rare elite and strong generals in the world.
However, if the number of people is small, there will be one less death.
Moreover, fighting from a long distance, the south is almost penetrated, and it is difficult to replenish troops locally.
The princes and kings of the world are the same group of small generals who fish in troubled waters, although they are a group of rabble, but they win with more money and more food.
There are many soldiers and generals.
Even if they lose several games, the confidence of the princes and kings of the world is still there, and they can continue to fight.
As long as there is enough money and food, they can raise an army of 100,000 people at any time.
Ants bite elephants to death.
In the face of the large number of princes and kings' armies, the northern army and the southern army were also quite difficult, and they could only march step by step, steadily and steadily, and slowly advance.
Another point is that the people of the world sympathize with the plight of the princes and kings, and they have defected to the princes and kings of the world either publicly or privately.
The emperor killed the princes and kings, and this thing was too unauthentic.
The news spread all over the world, and the emperor's reputation was completely stinky.
Unless the emperor can win this battle and revise the history books openly.
The emperor was asking the lord of Zhuyang County, "Do you think I can win?" ”
Zhuyang County Lord Xiao Shi bowed his head slightly, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, this battle may have twists and turns, but the outcome will definitely be won by Your Majesty." The families of the world also do not allow the princes and kings to win, and they will soon exert their strength. ”
"Really?" The Emperor's tone was low.
Xiao lowered his eyes, listening to the emperor's tone, and seemed to lack confidence.
However, Shaw did not dare to take it lightly.
With the friendship between the two when they were young, Xiao knew that the emperor in front of him was a person with a lot of eyes, and he was the best at acting to show weakness.
She said with certainty: "I firmly believe that Your Majesty will definitely win, so I support Yunge to open up the wasteland." The capital is peaceful, the world is peaceful, and it makes sense to open up wasteland. ”
This reason is good and powerful, and it seems to please the emperor.
He stared at Shaw, "You're old!" ”
Xiao Shi laughed, "In a blink of an eye, decades have passed, how can you not be old." ”
"I'm getting old, too!" The emperor sighed, "I still remember that back then, brothers and sisters took classes together in the palace......"
Xiao Shi lowered his head, sneered, and regained his composure in a blink of an eye.
Now, it makes no sense to mention the past.
The emperor suddenly asked, "Do you hate the first emperor?" Do you hate the emperor's grandfather? Hate me? ”
The emperor's grandfather is Emperor Zhongzong.
The first emperor is Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping.
Emperor Zhongzong gave the "Prince Zhangyi" to death, and regretted it afterwards.
Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping was inextricably linked to the death of the "Zhangyi" prince.
It is difficult to say whether that rebellion case was planned by Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping.
A lot of evidence, a lot of evidence, has gone up in smoke.
The only thing Xiao can be sure of is that after Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping ascended the throne and became emperor, he once wanted to kill her.
At this moment, in the face of the emperor's questioning, she cautiously replied: "I don't hate anyone!" Right and wrong are already in the past. The living have to look forward, not for themselves, but also for their children. ”
Emperor Yongtai stared at her, as if he wanted to judge the truth of these words from her eyes.
Xiao Shi followed him, with a frank and fearless look.
Emperor Yongtai smiled clearly, "You are still the same as when you were a child, you are very bold. ”
Xiao Shi shook his head again and again, "I'm much less timid now. ”
Emperor Yongtai didn't see it that way, "If you were timid, you wouldn't have gone to the palace to file a complaint, let alone ask me to thoroughly investigate the assassination of your daughter." ”
Xiao Shi asked bluntly, "Doesn't Your Majesty want to investigate this matter thoroughly?" is also said, my family Yunge is just an inconspicuous little girl, neither an official of the imperial court, nor a decree given by the imperial court. It doesn't matter if she is assassinated or dead. ”
"Are you complaining?"
"Don't dare!" Xiao Shi bowed his head, and his tone was not soft.
Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, "This winter, how much trouble has your daughter made, do you still need me to remind you?" ”
Xiao Shi raised his head suddenly, "What does Your Majesty mean, my family Yunge was assassinated, did she deserve it?" But Your Majesty, don't forget, everything Yun Ge does is related to people's livelihood and everyone's life. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. ”
"Isn't it out of line to smash the princess's mansion?"
"It seems that Your Majesty is going to settle accounts after the autumn, and last year's events will also be revealed. That's it, that's it, my Yunge thinks he's unlucky, and I'm also a trip to the palace for nothing. ”
Xiao's tone was very cold, she was not afraid that Emperor Yongtai would turn his face.
Emperor Yongtai really didn't turn his face, but his face was a little stinky, "Since I ascended the throne, no one has dared to speak like this in front of me all these years. ”
Xiao Shi laughed, "Does Your Majesty want to punish me for capital crimes?" ”
Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, "You know very well that I can't cure you of capital crimes. Just like the first emperor. You have the holy decree of the emperor's grandfather in your hand, who can cure you for capital crimes. ”
Xiao Shi said: "I am the only one left in the East Palace, whether I die or not, it will not affect the overall situation." If I die, Your Majesty's reputation will be damaged. Let me live and force me to marry my daughter to the prince is the best punishment for me. ”
Emperor Yongtai smiled, "You still dare to say that there is no resentment, I listen to you, you are resentful." ”
Xiao Shi was frank, "My daughter was assassinated, and she was not treated fairly, how could she not be resentful." If Your Majesty refuses to thoroughly investigate the assassination, then I have the courage to implore that I have full authority to investigate the matter, and that no matter who is found to be responsible, Your Majesty will not stop it at that time. I only want the culprit to be punished, and no one else is involved. ”
Emperor Yongtai hesitated.
Xiao Shi confronted him, "Your Majesty is worried that I will find out about someone?" However, I believe that the important ministers of the DPRK and China will not be so mad. The assassination must have been instigated by some arrogant person, and it should not implicate the court. ”
Emperor Yongtai asked, "I heard that Yan Yunge caught three live mouths. Give the live ** to Jin Wuwei, and I will give you an explanation. ”
Xiao Shi shook his head, "I have entered the edict prison alive, and I am worried that it will be Xiao Yat again." Master Tao's death has not yet been closed, and it is said that he died unjustly. ”
Emperor Yongtai was very unhappy, "The Tao family didn't say anything about this matter, but you came to fight for the Tao family." What's the matter, you're accusing me? I said, all three living mouths will be handed over to Jin Wuwei, and I will definitely give you an explanation. ”
Xiao asked, "What will happen if you don't hand people over to Jin Wuwei?" ”
Emperor Yongtai had a cold face, "Bear the consequences!" ”
Xiao Shi seemed to be under pressure from the imperial power, "That's it, when I go back, I will hand over the person to Jin Wuwei." ”
Emperor Yongtai's face softened slightly, "As long as you keep your duty, I won't treat you harshly." Even if one day, the Yan family fails, I will keep you rich. After all, we are brother and sister. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Shi lowered her head and smiled, she didn't believe a word of Emperor Yongtai's words.
What brother and sister, after the "Prince Zhangyi" rebellion case occurred, there was no longer brother and sister love.
She got up and said goodbye, "Yun Ge is alone at home, I don't know what I'm afraid of." I had to rush back and watch her. ”
Emperor Yongtai's eyebrows twitched.
He didn't even know what to say.
Shaw was clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open.
If you change to another girl, you will definitely be afraid of assassination.
Yan Yunge?
She's scared of a fart!
She can fight better than anyone else.
I heard that the archer who carried out the assassination was caught by her.
Such a sturdy girl, alone at home, happens to be unsupervised, and can do whatever she wants.
However, Emperor Yongtai did not keep it.
Everything that needs to be said has been said.
"Go back! After that, Jin Wuwei will go to the mansion to raise people. ”
Xiao bowed and retired.
……
At the end of the conversation, the chamberlain dared to report to Emperor Yongtai, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is here, and she has been waiting in the side hall for a while." ”
Emperor Yongtai immediately ordered, "Please invite the queen mother in." ”
"Yes!"
A moment later, Empress Tao was invited into the Zhengyang Palace.
"See Your Majesty!" She looked around, "Isn't the county lord of Zhuyang here?" ”
Emperor Yongtai asked her, "The queen is here to build the sun?" ”
Empress Tao hurriedly said: "The concubine heard that Zhuyang entered the palace and asked His Majesty to complain. The concubine was worried that she would quarrel with His Majesty, so she wanted to invite her to Weiyang Palace for tea. ”
Emperor Yongtai laughed, "The queen has a heart!" Zhuyang has already left the palace, so you don't have to worry about this matter. ”
"Already out of the palace?" Empress Tao was surprised, "Does Your Majesty want to make the decision for her?" ”
Emperor Yongtai said vaguely: "It depends on the situation!" ”
Queen Tao was anxious, how could this be good.
Dingtao, that dead girl, has been causing trouble all day long, how can this matter be settled?
……
Xiao Shi left the palace, got into the carriage, and instructed the coachman, "Hurry back to the house!" ”
She has to dare to get things done before Jin Wuwei.
The coachman hurried back to the county lord's mansion with the carriage.
When Xiao saw Yan Yunge, he immediately said, "Later, Jin Wuwei will come to pick up people." Being a mother can help you delay for an hour or two at most. Whether you can pry open the mouth of the living mouth in an hour or two depends on your ability. Once a person enters Jin Wuwei, the assassination is likely to become a confused lawsuit. ”
Yan Yunge immediately said, "Mother must help me delay for two hours. In two hours, I will get a confession. By the way, Big Brother is here! I'm angry with him and don't want to entertain him, but my mother helps me entertain, okay? ”
Yan Yunquan made a small report to the scumbag Yan Shouzhan, Yan Yunge is a person who holds grudges, so it is natural to write down this account.
Knowing that she had been assassinated, Yan Yunquan rushed over.
But she didn't give the other party a good look.
Xiao Shi agreed, "You can go busy, Yan Yunquan is there, I'll send it away." ”
……
In the dungeon of the county lord's mansion, the guards are severely torturing three living mouths.
Three living mouths, they would rather die than give in, and they refused to confide a word.
The guards were tired and cursed.
A group of people continued to extract confessions.
Dark, damp dungeons with flickering lights.
In the darkness, there were seven or eight black-clad men with their heads and faces, and they suddenly appeared.
The guards shouted, "There are assassins!" ”
Burst!
The sword goes into the flesh.
The guard fell to the ground.
The black-clothed man with his head and face covered, carrying a big knife emitting cold light, ran directly to the three living mouths.
Not to save people, but to kill.
Kill somebody to do away with a witness!
Burst!
One died alive.
Burst!
Live Mouth No. 2 died.
"Assassins, Assassins......"
A large group of guards from the county lord's mansion rushed into the dungeon, and the two sides fought.
The man in black fought and retreated, and soon fought his way out of the dungeon.
Live mouth No. 3, lucky to survive.
An hour later, Yan Yunge got the confession of the third living mouth.
