Chapter 218: The two brothers are both imprisoned
On this night, someone stopped Chu Yaocen, who was wearing stars and wearing the moon to go home, the man rode on a tall horse, and said to Chu Yaocen: "Second Young Master Chu, you have twenty lives on your back, come with me!" ”
Chu Yaocen looked the man up and down and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Dali Temple Qing is absolutely safe," the man reported his name, and then said to Chu Yaocen: "I know that the second young master will not follow me if he is not clear, and I also know that the second young master is excellent in martial arts, and if he really fights with us, my team will not be able to drag you for long." So I'll tell the Second Young Master Chu about the murder first, and listen, the Second Young Master, you decide whether you want to go with me or not. ”
Chu Yaocen raised his hand slightly, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
"More than two months ago, we found twenty corpses on the outskirts of the city, and after inquiry, we found that these people were all old workers from your Chu family's Lixiangfang. After an unannounced visit, I found out that those old workers had nothing to do in Lixiangfang all day, sitting and waiting for death, after you took over, you quarreled with them for several days, and then dismissed them, and forced them to run to your Chu door to make trouble, you found the Seven Princes to suppress them, the Seventh Princes locked them up for a whole time, and after they were released, we found their bodies on the outskirts of the city. Do you think that from this logic, you are the most suspicious? ”
Chu Yaocen raised his eyebrows slightly, how could those twenty die? Didn't he ask Yin Jixuan to send them out of the city? What's going on here?
He looked at the people behind An Juesu again, each with a weapon in his hand, and it seemed that he wanted to take him back with an absolute idea.
Chu Yaocen rolled his eyes and said: "Lord An, do you have a problem with your head, according to what you said, before those people died, the last thing they saw was the Seventh Prince, I just handed those people over to the Seventh Prince, and I never had any contact with them anymore, and it is reasonable for my Chu family to dismiss the servant, I really don't think I did anything wrong." ”
"The second young master is right, but in the eyes of our government, it is you who are the most suspicious, and it is reasonable for us to arrest the suspect." An Juesu said, and added, "By the way, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the Seventh Prince is also very suspicious, and we have sent someone to invite the Seventh Prince." So, would you like to come with us? ”
An Juesu's words were literally polite, but his tone was not polite at all.
Chu Yaocen was silent for a moment, it was almost the end of the year recently, if he didn't cooperate with the government, the government would have a way to deal with them, and they were all justified. On the contrary, he went with him, with the imperial concubine and Yin Jixuan, and the current status of the Chu family, he would not have anything to do.
Chu Yaocen thought for a while, and said to An Jue Su: "Lord An handled the case fairly, I think he will give me justice." It's just that I still have one wish, I hope that Lord An can be accommodating. ”
"Second Young Master Chu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." An Juesu raised his hand.
"My wife is sick in bed, but she is also waiting for me to come home every night, if I don't go home tonight, she will be sad, so I want to ask Lord An to send someone to inform her, just say that I and Lord An have a small gathering tonight."
An Juesu nodded and chuckled: "The second young master is really a person who values love and righteousness, such a trivial matter, I will send someone to say it." ”
Chu Yaocen thanked An Juesu and followed his people.
An Juesu's people did go to inform Qingdi, after Qingdi listened, she thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, first of all, she didn't know what friendship Chu Yaocen had with Dali Siqing, and secondly, even if Chu Yaocen went out to have a reunion with friends, he would definitely not go home at night...... So, is something wrong?
Those who provoke Dali Temple must have committed a serious crime, so it is better not to alarm Chu Chengguan for the time being. Cleaning up immediately thought of going to Yin Jixuan for help, so he left the Chu family in disguise and went straight to the Seven Kings' Mansion. Fortunately, the Seven Kings' Mansion was very close to the Chu family, and after arriving, someone took the Qingdi in after a while. However, Qingdi didn't see Yin Jixuan, but saw Feng Yanhui who was sitting on the ground crying.
Qingdi looked left and right, and really didn't see Yin Jixuan there, so he asked Feng Yanhui: "The Seventh Prince went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again?" ”
Feng Yanhui raised his head and glared at her, and said coldly: "The prince was supposed to accompany me tonight, but he was suddenly arrested by someone sent by the Dali Siqing, and said that the prince had killed someone!" ”
Qingdi sighed in his heart, it is impossible for An Juesu to invite Chu Yaocen to drink and invite the Seventh Prince to prison, right? So Yao Cen should have been arrested and imprisoned...... But what did the two of them do to arrest them so suddenly?
Qingdi really couldn't figure it out, so she wanted to ask Feng Yanhui, but before she could speak, she saw her lying on the ground crying and sobbing, and she had a big belly, so Qingdi didn't bother to ask her anything more.
"Hurry up, it's cold on the ground, it's not good for the baby in your belly."
Feng Yanhui wiped her tears, took Qingdi's hand and stood up from the ground, and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that you had such a deep grudge with me before you got married, and now you are willing to help me...... I don't know what to do, the prince was arrested, and I don't know who to ask for help, I just think that the prince has a good relationship with your family on weekdays, and your Chu family is so rich, don't lend me some money, go and redeem the prince, okay? ”
"Dali Temple is a place where you can get money to do things?" Qingdi glanced at her helplessly, and said, "Wait, according to the influence of the prince in the court, someone will always intercede for him tomorrow, and nothing will happen to him." ”
"Madame's words are wrong." Qingdi was talking, someone outside suddenly interrupted her, and then a middle-aged man walked in and asked Qingdi: "Second young lady, do you know why the prince and your father-in-law were arrested?" ”
"What? Second Young Master Chu was also arrested? Feng Yanhui was surprised, and then cried again: "Then what should I do!" ”
"You might as well go back to sleep first." Qingdi really felt annoyed by her, so she said a word to her, then looked at the man who was talking, and asked him, "Who are you?" Have I seen you somewhere? ”
"I am a strategist in the Seven Princes' Mansion, refute Zhan. Madame should not have seen me, because I have not seen you either. Zhan Zhan smiled.
"Really?" Qingdi looked him up and down, and then said: "But why do I think you are very familiar with some places, so I think you are very annoying and disgusting for no reason......
Zhan Zhan was very helpless, and said, "Madam, wouldn't it be too rude for you to say this?" ”
"Really?" Qingdi also felt that she was not very hostile to a stranger, so she said, "I'm sorry, I don't usually be hostile to others, and I don't know why you give me such feelings...... Forget it, let's not talk about this, do you know why Yao Cen and the Seventh Prince were arrested? ”
"It's because the twenty people sent out by your pear fragrance shop all died in the suburbs, and Dali Siqing found out that this matter was related to the Seventh Prince and Chu Gongzi." Di Zhan looked at Qingdi and asked, "What does Madame think?" ”
What the? Are those people dead? How so......
Qingdi took a while to recover from the shock, and refuted Zhan: "I don't know if the Seventh Prince will kill people, anyway, Yao Cen will never kill those people, if he also thinks about killing them from the beginning, he doesn't have to spend so much effort to force them to leave." ”
"I understand what Madame said, but Dali Temple may not be able to understand it. And Madame really didn't see it, is this incident aimed at the Second Young Master and the Seventh Prince? He paused and asked Qingdi, "Do you know who An Juesu is?" ”
Qingdi didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, except for a few forces in the general direction of the prince, and she didn't know who An Juesu was.
"An Juesu, it's the people of the four princes." Refutation Zhan said: "Therefore, this time the person who came is not good, even if it is finally found out that the Seventh Prince and the Second Young Master are really wronged, then they will take off a layer of skin." ”
"What then?" Now it was Feng Yanhui who was talking, she struggled hard to break the red and swollen eyes, and asked Zhan, "Is there any way you can save them?" ”
"There is a way, but I can......'t do it," said Zhan, his gaze gradually turning to Qingdi.
Feng Yanhui said angrily: "How can you not do it? What's the use of our palace raising you? So what do you think should be done now? You shit! ”
Di Zhan got angry when he heard her speak, and said, "Why haven't you grown at all, look at your sister, she has eaten less than you for so many years, but how much more mature than you?" You see, like you, you only cry when you encounter something, and you don't have any ideas! ”
Feng Yanhui was stunned by him for a long time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and said angrily: "What are you? What qualifications do you have to say about me? Get the hell out of here now! ”
Qingdi listened from the sidelines, and felt more and more familiar with the way Zhan spoke......
After listening to the wind and words, Zhan smiled faintly and said: "I am a strategist in the palace, and you are not even a princess, but a concubine of the prince, what qualifications do you have to drive me away?" ”
Qingdi was really speechless and said, "Can you stop talking?" Do you want to discuss how to save people? ”
Ju Zhan nodded and said, "Of course I want to, madam, why don't we go out and talk." ”
"Let's go, let's go! Don't bother me here! "The wind is really angry.
Qingdi nodded, walked to the courtyard with Zhan Zhan, and after being a little far away from Fengyanhui, Zhan Zhan said, "Young lady, I don't know if you have paid attention to the affairs of the court recently?" ”
Qingdi shook his head: "Very little, I've been busy with business recently." ”
"Then it's no wonder. In fact, originally, Dali Siqing did not dare to rashly arrest the Seventh Prince and the Second Young Master of Chu, because after all, these two families are extremely powerful and far-reaching, but now that Dali Siqing has done this, it means that the Fourth Prince has already gained confidence, that is to say, ......" refuted Zhan paused, and said: "He should be united with the Second Prince." ”
Qingdi frowned and said, "The forces of the two princes are combined, how can we rescue people?" ”
"There is only one way, and that is to ask the fourth prince to release him." Jie Zhan said.
