Chapter 140: The home of the old fox behind the scenes
With just such a sentence, a team of guards poured out of nowhere and surrounded everyone.
Some guests who were not afraid of death trembled and asked, "What, what's wrong?" Why is the general so angry? ”
It turned out that after the general entered the house just now, he found that there was no electric light in the house, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, but because the alcohol paralyzed his brain, he did not react for a while.
I thought that Yu Xizhou was shy, so the general lit the candle, but I didn't expect that not only did he not see his bride, but also saw the open window.
As if remembering something, the general hurriedly ran to touch the bed, and the bed was cold, proving that the bride had been running for a long time, and it was really bold.
However, remembering that Yu Xizhou is still pregnant and very weak, there must be no way to escape alone, and today there is martial law in the General's Mansion, and the people who can take Xizhou away can only hide among the guests.
Therefore, the person who helped the county lord escape from marriage must still be hiding in the mansion, and the general stopped all the guests.
After listening to the ins and outs, the guests looked at each other, but they were thinking in their hearts why the county lord would run away from marriage? Are the two really in love? Moreover, it is very inappropriate to let the county lord be a concubine, and now this escape from marriage is understandable.
And at this moment, no one noticed a person squatting in the corner, his eyes suddenly flashed, but his brows were extremely tight.
Because, someone did what he wanted.
The general had no other way to talk about the guests, but the disappearance of the county lord was really no longer within his knowledge, and if the emperor asked, what should he do.
Like a savior, suddenly a person said, "Could it be that this Imperial Virtuous King of the Shen Kingdom rescued people?" ”
Naturally, this was deliberately arranged.
Hearing this, the general's eyes narrowed, and although his face was still red, his sanity was completely clear.
To be honest, all the guests present had no reason to save Yu Xizhou, even if they didn't understand why they let the county lord marry as a concubine. And it is absolutely impossible for the county lord to have other mistresses, after all, her whereabouts are being watched by the emperor.
After analyzing it in this way, among all the people present, there was no reason for anyone to take Yu Xizhou away, except for this Yuxian King who came from afar.
Moreover, I heard that this Yuxian King used to like to go to Xizhou, and it is not impossible to secretly send someone to take people away during the wedding banquet.
Slowly, the general's eyes became cold, he didn't know if he was being used by the emperor, he only knew that he had only one choice now, either he would be punished or used.
Ruthlessly born in the court, and determined to be in the court, thinking of this, the general resolutely ordered: "Take down the people." ”
Immediately, there were guards who pressed Shen Juerong down, and Hua Ze never expected this kind of thing to happen.
She hurriedly hugged Shen Juerong and resolutely retorted: "It is impossible for the prince of my family to do such a thing, and he has never left the table during the entire wedding." And how can you take away the bride. ”
But the general turned a deaf ear, and there were many ways to take people away, so there was no need for him to go in person.
At this moment, the emperor didn't know where to come out, and everyone hurriedly knelt down.
After the emperor glanced at Shen Yurong and Hua Ze a few times, he shook his head without knowing what it meant.
Then, he said with a serious face: "I just caught two Xi Po, I don't know why, these two people should have been guarding the front door, but they actually appeared at the back door, and they were sneaky, I was afraid that they would steal the master's things and escape, so I stopped them...... Unexpectedly, I heard these two Xi Po mention the King of the Imperial Virtuous......"
The emperor really couldn't see any flaws in this reaction, and after speaking, he brought out the two Xi Po, and the Xi Po knelt on the ground in fear.
Hearing this, the general could no longer control himself, and now he just wanted to know who was teasing him on the big wedding day. So, like an angry lion, he grabbed a Xi Po and asked, "What did King Gogen tell you to do?!" ”
A woman cried without raising her head, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "King Yuxian told the slave maid to take the bride out and give it to a person. ”
Seeing that it was time, the other Xi Po also cried and echoed: "General, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and they all blame the slave and maid for being blinded by money." I beg the general to spare us. ”
The general's brows furrowed except for a few lines, and his face was displeased or displeased. Obviously, he was concerned about more than that, and he only heard a loud ask, "Where is the bride now?" ”
The two Xi Po were not so pretentious in an instant, and hurriedly shook their heads in response: "I don't know, I don't know, the slave just brought the bride to a person with a covered face." The rest of the slaves and maids did not know anything. ”
Even if he is the emperor's person, he can't treat the general so reasonably.
Hearing the general sneer, he threw Xi Po on the ground, turned around and asked directly: "King Yuxian, do you have anything to explain?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Juerong didn't know where he was, I am afraid that this was a ploy made by the emperor.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, this emperor moved too fast, even if Shen Juerong had already been mentally prepared, but after all, this was the emperor's home field, so he couldn't prepare his back hand in time.
The emperor tried a look, and the two Xi Po were taken down.
The general knew that it was time, took a deep breath, and said with a sigh of relief: "Take the royal couple to prison." ”
After that, he calmed the guests and let them disperse, and the general slept in bed, but his eyes were open until dawn.
Early the next morning, the general went to prison and interrogated the royal and his wife, but received no news. Institutions
While interrogating the two, the general also sent people to find Yu Xizhou's whereabouts, and after a few days, suddenly someone from the general's subordinates came to report that he had only found a fragment of clothing.
The general took a look at it, the pattern and fabric were all the craftsmanship of Shen Guo, the general sneered, and went to Shen Juerong with the fabric.
Even if he was imprisoned, Shen Juerong did not change, he looked calm, as if he was not the one who was imprisoned.
When the general came in with the fabric, Shen Juerong was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the general sneered: "King Yuxian, General Ben asks again, where is General Ben's wife." ”
Shen Juerong didn't speak, and the general took Shen Juerong out, "Ask again one last time, admit it, or don't admit it." ”
But there was still no response, and the general couldn't get used to Shen Guo's appearance that he had fallen into his hands and was still iron-clad, so he finally couldn't help it, and ordered the little jailer on the side: "Torture." ”
When the jailer beat Shen Juerong with blood all over his body, the general took out the piece of fabric, sneered grimly, stared at the other party's eyes and asked, "Even if you don't recognize it?" ”
Shen Juerong was shocked, how could he fall into the hands of the other party?
So he opened his eyes with difficulty, glanced at the piece of fabric, and froze, this material is Shen Nanfeng's, and the unique texture and wine smell of Shen Nanfeng's clothes on it.
All clearly told Shen Juerong that Shen Nanfeng was now in Chaoguo.
Thinking of this, Shen Juerong gritted his teeth, "Yes, this king did it." ”
This reply immediately reached the ears of the emperor, and when he finally heard the answer he wanted, the emperor immediately threatened: He wanted Shen Huang to come to the court in person to make amends. After all, the general is an important minister of the DPRK, and Shen Juerong's actions deliberately undermine the relationship between the two countries.
The envoy was detained, which was a great shame for Shen Guo.
Shen Huang had just dropped the teacup and was so angry that he trembled all over, and now he had no idea in his heart, he really didn't know what kind of method to use to rescue the Yuxian King.
Perhaps this is a ploy of the DPRK, and it is he who is forced to send troops?
Thinking of this, he was covered in sweat.
"Your Majesty." The voice of the little eunuch beside him sounded leisurely, "Don't worry, drink some tea to calm down first." ”
Wait, the eunuch's voice is not right.
Shen Huang grabbed the eunuch's neck, and when he saw the hat fall, a pair of exotic eyes appeared in front of him. "Qi Cane?"
"See the emperor, it's really not easy to see you." Qi Cane's words were quite teasing. "You gave the order not to let anyone bother you, and Qi Cane can only see you in this way."
Qi Su blinked his eyes and said, "I know what you're worried about, aren't you here to give you advice now?" ”
"Hurry up." Shen Huang realized that he had relied on Qi Cane's strategy a little recently, and his heart was not good, but he could only listen to her analysis.
"I know the emperor's thoughts, but you can't go according to his wishes. So, now you are asking the emperor to release the Yuxian King, be tougher. After that, you propose to go to the court in person a few days later to give an explanation, so as to show your bearing. ”
"This?" Isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
Shen Huang's brows furrowed, "Qi Cane, don't you mean to put the lifeblood of the entire Shen Kingdom into the hands of the Emperor?" What do you mean exactly? ”
Could it be that she was sent by the emperor to confuse him? Qi Cane was really evil, and he was a little panicked.
"It's just a delaying tactic." Qi Su waved his hand helplessly. "Shouldn't we rescue King Gogen in the first place?"
This is the top priority, and the fact that King Goxian is imprisoned is really not a trivial matter.
Shen Huang nodded, and he agreed, and asked someone to come and leave the book, and send it to the emperor in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles to show their sincerity.
After all, it was the Yuxian King who was imprisoned, and this matter was related to the aspirations of the people of the entire Shen Kingdom.
The emperor, who was thousands of miles away, received Shen Huang's letter early the next morning, and a smile appeared on his face, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he was quite contemptuous.
It seems that this young emperor is not a powerful character, he can easily handle it.
Shen Huang, is that all you have the ability to do?
After the letter, he said with a smile: "Ask someone to release the Yuxian King of Shen State, but he is not allowed to leave the capital." Prepare to receive the highest honor guard in the country, and prepare to receive the distinguished guests of the Shen Kingdom. ”
Shen Huang, do you think that if you come to Chaoguo, you can still go back with all your beards and tails?
The emperor almost showed a maniacal laugh, all this was in his grasp, and he felt more and more that he was a talent, and nothing could stump him.
At the same time, King Gogen was released, and he endured the humiliation, clenching his fists and breaking free from the guards who had restrained him.
Letting him go and not letting him go back to Shen Guo is not also a disguised imprisonment? Don't think that he doesn't know what the emperor thinks, when he thinks of marrying Yu Xizhou to that general and locking him up, he only feels resentful.
