Chapter 368: Caught in a Trap
Gongzi Qingcheng is an honest official and fulfills his duties. His father, Hai Houye, did not allow him to form a party, and his family education was very strict, so he had few friends.
Liang Xiang always likes to chat with him when there is no one in the next dynasty. Over time, they slowly got acquainted.
On this day, Liang Xiang asked Gongzi Qingcheng to come to the house to talk. Both of them were full of poetry and books, so they had a good conversation.
It was noon, and Liang Xiang left his son Qingcheng for dinner. Gongzi Qingcheng saw that the meal had been served, so he did not refuse.
The two drank and listened to the music, and gradually Gongzi Qingcheng felt that he was a little drunk, and he hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Liang Xiang said that the sobering soup in his house was very effective, and ordered someone to help Gongzi Qingcheng go to the couch to rest for a while.
After a while, a maid walked towards Gongzi Qingcheng with a sobering soup.
Gongzi Qingcheng drank the sobering soup and then disappeared. When he awoke, he found a woman sleeping beside him.
Liang Xiang deliberately broke the matter personally, so he used this as a threat to ask Gongzi Qingcheng to do something for him.
Gongzi Qingcheng knew that he had fallen into the trap of Liang Xiang. But if he doesn't agree, this matter will definitely be known to everyone in the capital. If he doesn't talk about his face, he can't get past his father's level!
After Gongzi Jinqian received the news from Liang Zicheng, he was quite satisfied with him. So, Childe Jin Yan began to implement his plan. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gongzi Qingcheng took Yao Chan'er to the house of his father-in-law Yao Xiang.
Yao Xiang saw the two of them, and the two of them were very happy. But he said: "If you don't accompany the old marquis to reunite, won't he blame?" ”
"I've already made my father known!" Gongzi Qingcheng and Yao Chan'er saluted together.
The three sons of Yao Mansion also stepped forward to greet the sons of Qingcheng and his wife.
"That's it! There are no outsiders in the house, so let's just sit down! "Yao Xiang ordered someone to place the table case for Gongzi Qingcheng and his wife.
"Brother-in-law, which one is this singing?" Yao Ben, the third son of Yao Xiang, asked.
"It's because I miss my parents very much, and Master Hou understands it, so he allowed us to come over." Yao Chan'er's voice was full of affection, which made the women present couldn't help but be moved.
"Lord Haihou's mind is not comparable to ordinary people! Come! Let's enjoy the moon with our family! Yao Xiang said as he glanced at his third son, Yao Ben. Yao Ben knew that he had lost his words, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
The silk and bamboo orchestra of Yaofu sounded, and the dancers also danced on the stage.
Everyone watched singing and dancing, drank and admired the moon, which was very comfortable and enjoyable.
Yao Xiang was old after all, and he left the table early. Yao Chan'er also went to see her parents, leaving only Gongzi Qingcheng to sit alone and watch singing and dancing.
Gongzi Qingcheng doesn't like to drink, so he doesn't drink a drop of alcohol. Yao Ben, the third son of Yaofu, walked towards Gongzi Qingcheng with a wine jug and a wine glass.
He drank a little too much, stood unsteadily, and sat down beside Gongzi Qingcheng. Fortunately, Gongzi Qingcheng helped him, otherwise the wine in his hand would have spilled on his body.
"Brother-in-law! I toast you! Yao Ben filled the wine glass in front of Gongzi Qingcheng.
"Third brother! Don't be rude! Yao Xiang's eldest son, Yao Xiang, spoke up to stop it.
"It's not your turn to take care of me!" Yao Ben replied with the strength of the wine. Yao Zhi was so angry that he got up and left the table.
"You drank this wine! I have something to say to you! The smell of wine on Yao Ben's body made Gongzi Qingcheng cover his mouth and nose.
"Just one cup!" Gongzi Qingcheng took the wine glass and drank it all.
Yao Xiang's second son, Yao Xun, was shocked when he saw it. This son Qingcheng has a lot of alcohol!
"Good! Readily! I'll tell you! You can't be too cowardly! Our Yao family is one of the four major families. But now, Ji's hand covers the sky! ”
"You're drunk!" Gongzi Qingcheng pressed Yao Ben's wine glass and said.
"I'm drunk! But I'm telling the truth! Yao Ben lowered his voice.
"I'll help you back to your room to rest!" Gongzi Qingcheng helped Yao Ben. He glanced at Yao Xun, who was watching them.
Yao Ben said as he walked: "So, you must be on our side!" ”
"Haihou Mansion has never participated in the battle of the scholars!" Gongzi Qingcheng said seriously.
"I know! However, if the Ji clan continues, I'm afraid that the Haihou Mansion will not be able to survive alone! ”
Gongzi Qingcheng felt that this statement could never come from the mouth of someone like Yao Ben! Could it be that Yao Xiang has this intention?
"I tell you! Our Yao clan has joined forces with the Yan clan and the Dong clan to fight against the Ji clan! "Yao Ben is indeed very drunk.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gongzi Qingcheng said in a low voice.
"Not nonsense! I have conspired with Dong Bing and Yan Shot, ready to suppress the limelight of the Ji family! Yao Ben's words made Gongzi Qingcheng frightened.
It turns out that what Liang Xiang said is not groundless. They asked him to come to Yao's Mansion to see if anyone from the Yao family was involved in this matter.
Although Gongzi Qingcheng heard the truth, he was hesitant to tell the truth. This night, he was destined to have no sleep.
Yao Xiang saw that Gongzi Qingcheng had dark circles under his eyes, and knew that he hadn't slept well last night, so he asked him why?
Gongzi Qingcheng said that he was not used to changing places. He has always been polite and cautious, so Yao Xiang believed it.
Gongzi Qingcheng had just walked to the gate of the first palace in the early dynasty, and met Liang Xiang.
"How?" Liang Xiang asked softly.
"Yao Ben is indeed involved! However, Yao Xiang didn't seem to know. "Gongzi Qingcheng took Yao Xiang out.
"I expected! It's just a matter of confirmation! Come on! We're both clear! Liang Xiang left alone after speaking.
Gongzi Qingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he returned to Haihou Mansion, he was invited to the study by Gongzi Qingqian.
"Why do you want to go to Yao's Mansion?" Childe Qingqian served his eldest brother Childe Qingcheng a cup of tea.
"A little thing!" Gongzi Qingcheng is perfunctory and shallow.
"It's better not to get involved in the affairs between their clans!" Childe Qingqian looked at Childe Qingcheng's dark circles, and couldn't help but secretly worry about him.
"No!" Childe Qingcheng took a sip of tea.
"Childe! Dong Bing, Yan Jie and Yao Ben were arrested by Da Sima's people! Liu Tao hurriedly walked into the study and arched his hand.
"What?" The tea in Gongzi Qingcheng's hand spilled.
"What charges?" Although Childe Qingqian was also surprised, his face was still as calm as water.
"Kidnap Ji Huanyu!" Liu Tao looked at the blue-faced Gongzi Qingcheng and frowned.
Gongzi Qingcheng went to Yao Xiang's mansion last night, and he knew about it.
"Big brother! What did Yao Ben tell you last night? Childe looked at his eldest brother incredulously.
"I don't know about the kidnapping!" After saying that, Gongzi Qingcheng got up and left.
But he was called by the old marquis. Gongzi Qingcheng told the old marquis what Yao Ben said.
Haihou Ye did not punish Gongzi Qingcheng. He just warned Gongzi Qingcheng that he would have a longer memory in the future!
Gongzi Qingcheng also knew that he had made a big mistake. His father didn't punish him because he didn't want people to see that he betrayed Yao Ben. lest the Yao Mansion and the Haihou Mansion fall into the trap of Gongzi Jin.
Gongzi Jinqian successfully rescued his son and arrested all his opponents. Although they may not be the masterminds, they also serve to deter their families.
Dong Xinping came to Gongzi Jin's study and begged him to let Dong Bing go.
Gongzi Jinyan told the story that Dong Bing colluded with the Shura hermit to assassinate the emperor and framed himself. Dong Xinping realized that the seriousness of the matter was much heavier than she imagined! .
Dong Bing and the three of them can't survive! But will they sit together? Dong Xinping's face suddenly turned pale. Gongzi Jinqi actually pinched the death hole of the three major families.
