Summer Night was put in prison, but it wasn't long before she was brought out again. At a street crossing, a platform was erected, a foot above the ground

There was a wooden cage, surrounded by guards.

There was no explanation, she was thrown into a wooden cage, and then the officials who had brought her with her left. Summer Night was locked up like a wild beast, and the wooden cage was so narrow that it allowed people to sit on their knees and not get up.

The summer night could not escape, because it was guarded by a dozen guards, and the sky slowly brightened, and the pedestrians on the street began to increase, and they soon found the monster that had stood up overnight at the corner of the street, and they all gathered curiously to take a look.

"Hey, isn't this Princess Hyunin?" Someone recognized her.

"Yes, it's really her, how could she be locked up here?"

More people recognized the summer night, and they pointed at the wooden cage, and more and more people gathered.

Xia Ye looked at these people in front of him indifferently, and snorted coldly in his heart: they are all people who eat human blood steamed buns and seek excitement. Her eyes wandered through the crowd, but she didn't see the oncoming figure, and her heart suddenly felt a little desperate.

"Now who else but him can come and save me." Looking at the heavily guarded guards on the side, the summer night turned away dejectedly.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the early summer sun began to be scorching, and the water and rice did not enter for a long time in the summer night, and I was dizzy from the sun.

"Perhaps, it's better to die like this." The summer night gave up hope a little, and looked up at the bright sun.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked her sunlight, and a *** came to the edge of the wooden cage and shouted, "Open the cage for the master." ”

Xia Ye was very familiar with this voice, she turned her head to see that this person was none other than Zhong Lei.

"Zhong Gongzi, this matter is not trivial, you must not mess around." The guard nervously stepped forward and said to Zhong Lei.

"Phew, this is my own sister-in-law, I don't care if it's small or big, my Zhong Lei's sister-in-law can't suffer this crime." Zhong Lei's strength came up again, and while he was talking, he took out the flower gun he carried with him and went to smash the lock of the wooden cage.

Although those guards recognized him as the young master of the Zhong family, he dared to privately offend him, and immediately raised the weapon in his hand and fought with him. But the guards were afraid of his identity, and they didn't dare to let go of the fight, for fear of hurting him, and it would be difficult for Da Sima to explain at that time. As a result, Zhong Lei fought more than a dozen guards by himself, and it was a tie for a while.

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap on a sunny day, and someone shouted: "Who is so daring! ”

"Master Hou." The guards immediately waved their hands.

"Lei'er, what are you doing here?" Zhong Wannian's voice followed suit.

"Dad, even if my sister has committed a big crime, now that she is a princess, she can't be insulted like this."

"What do you know, son! Don't retreat yet. The anxiety in Zhong Wannian's tone was greater than the blame.

"Zhong Gongzi, beheaded on the spot at three o'clock in the afternoon, there is nothing insulting to say." Zhen Guohou's voice suddenly said coldly.

"What, decapitation? Three o'clock in the afternoon? No way! Zhong Lei shouted.

"Smack!" Hearing a loud slap, Zhong Wannian suppressed his throat and shouted, "Son, you don't have the right to speak here, so don't retreat quickly." ”

"Dad, the child heard about what happened in the palace, and said that the princess killed the emperor, but after the trial of Yousi? If not, the punishment of beheading is to be made, and what if he is killed by mistake? Zhong Lei was spoiled by his father, and he didn't buy his father's account at all, just talking about himself.

"Rebel, do you know what she has committed, but it is a heinous crime." Zhong Wannian shouted and reprimanded.

"If the evidence is conclusive, it is not an exaggeration to cut it with a thousand cuts, the son just thinks that the real culprit has not yet been clarified, so he is in such a hurry to carry out the execution, and it is difficult to convince the public. If the princess has been wronged. It's a mistake. Which of you will take the responsibility? ”

"Little Ancestor ......" Zhong Wannian was really speechless to Zhong Lei.

"Zhong Gongzi, this is already an iron case, you don't have to delay any longer." The Marquis of Zhenguo interjected.

"Master Hou, it's easy to kill the princess, but it's difficult to bring the princess back to life. Don't you think the princess was framed and blamed? There will be no grievances among them? If there is something else hidden in it. Haven't we fallen into the way of traitors? hurt the princess's life in vain and let the real murderer get away with it, which shows my national prestige, is it for my emperor's blood hatred? ”

Zhong Wannian didn't expect that his son, who only eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays, is also clear when he talks today. He knew that Zhong Lei had always liked Princess Sleepless. He only thought he was the enthusiasm of a young man, and he didn't expect to dare to take such a risk and speak for her. Although he was worried that he would be implicated in this matter, he couldn't help but feel that he had finally grown up, and secretly determined to protect him no matter what.

"Zhong Gongzi." Xia Ye saw that Zhong Lei did not hesitate to confront the queen's decree for her, and her heart was very moved. Unexpectedly, when her life was at stake, it was such a gentleman who she once hated very much. It seems that people are really unseemly.

"Zhong Gongzi, are you going to question the queen's mother?" The Marquis of Zhen Guo was a little impatient.

At this moment, Zhong Lei suddenly turned to face the people of Pingyang City who were watching, and there were more and more onlookers in front of the wooden cage, and they were surging back and forth like ocean waves, making movements like mosquitoes and flies.

I saw Zhong Lei raise his arms violently and shouted: "The people of Pingyang, do you believe that such a beautiful princess would kill her father who loves her so much?" What's the point? Waiting to be beheaded? Even a fool wouldn't do this kind of thing, let alone a princess of the dignified Qi Kingdom. You say don't you? ”

"yes!" Someone was immediately affected.

"yes!" Others feel that they have been deceived.

"The people of Pingyang City, the princess is the treasure of Daqi, she is willing to sacrifice herself for you and marry to the Ulan Kingdom, how can we bear to see her die in vain. In my opinion, there must be someone who doesn't want to see the friendship between the two countries and the people of Qi live a peaceful life, so they will blame the princess, so it is really killing two birds with one stone. You say, "Can we let them succeed?" ”

"I can't." The people shouted in unison and raised their arms in response.

"Zhong Gongzi is right."

"You can't kill the princess, find the real culprit, and avenge the emperor."

For a while, the crowd was turbulent, and the people of Pingyang City were completely instigated by Zhong Gongzi, as if they had seen an obvious conspiracy to destroy Daqi. They were enraged, and people raised their fists and shouted: "Release the princess, release the princess, fair trial!" ”

"Are you going to rebel?" The Marquis of Zhenguo was furious and ordered his officers and soldiers to control the crowd, at this time he looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost time, pull the prisoner out of the cage and execute him immediately." ”

"Yes."

"Nope." Zhong Lei yelled, and was about to step forward and rob people.

"Lei'er, don't." Zhong Wannian didn't care about his identity at this time, so he jumped up and hugged Zhong Lei, dragging him to death, lest he do something stupid.

"Where is the Yulin Army! Protect the Dharma Field. Zhenguo Hou roared.

"Subordinates and other respectful orders."

Summer Night was pulled out of her cage, and she saw that a large number of officers and soldiers had come to the scene, dressed in military uniforms with royal insignia, and it seemed that the Marquis of Zhenguo had brought them out of the palace to escort her beheading.

The common people have never been the opponents of the officials, and when they saw that the government was going to move seriously, they only knew that they would cry and shout at their mothers to take the opportunity to escape, but at this time there were many people and chaos, and it was not so easy for you to leave.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose from the crowd, and the smoke became bigger and bigger, enveloping the officers and soldiers and the common people.

"Oops, Mom! Help me! ”

"My hand is broken, woo-"

"Don't be in trouble, come and get the people aside. Guarding prisoners. "Although the marquis of Zhenguo is in chaos, he commands like a certainty.

"Yes, Master Hou!"

Suddenly, a person jumped onto the stage, and a long sword pressed against the throat of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

"Let the princess go." The man said in a deep voice.

When I looked at it on a summer night, it turned out to be a silver-faced man.

"It turns out that he hasn't left himself behind, it seems that he has been trying to find a way to save himself." Xia Ye had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she was suddenly warmed, it turned out that she still had someone to care about. It was Zhong Lei just now, and now he is a silver-faced man, although both of these people are a little weird.

"If you kill Ben Hou, Ben Hou will never frown, Ben Hou is an important minister of Daqi, he should die for Daqi, you don't want to humiliate a court official." I didn't expect this town to be very tough.

However, in this way, the silver-faced man is a little passive. He sneered and put down the seven-star sword in his hand, suddenly jumped onto the wooden cage that had held Xia Ye, and said aloud to everyone in front of him: "You stupid people, the emperor of Qi was killed by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu just can't get used to the shameless appearance of you not being able to catch the real murderer, but taking a weak female outlet." Hahaha! ”

The silver-faced man laughed as he spoke, then quickly crossed the crowd and said as he turned around, "You wait, Lao Tzu will go and kill the queen's stinky woman for you to see." ”

Before the words fell, the person was gone.

"Master Hou is not good, I'm afraid this guy is not really going to assassinate the queen!" Zhong Wannian was so anxious that he grabbed Zhen Guohou's hand, he was so nervous that he almost broke his hand.

"Yulin Jun listened to the order and returned to the palace immediately."

"Yes."

The group didn't care about beheading Xia Ye, and hurried back to the palace.

In the imperial study, the emperor's body has been put into a large coffin of golden silk nanmu, the queen kneels in front of the coffin like a sculpture, and behind her there is a long slip of concubines, princes and princesses.

The Marquis of Zhenguo was in an emergency and did not wait to be reported, so he led people into the imperial study.

"The queen is fine, the minister is relieved." The Marquis of Zhenguo was greatly relieved to see that the queen was safe and sound.

"Uncle Huang, you ...... Hey, why is she still alive? When the queen saw the summer night, her eyebrows suddenly rose upside down, and she reproached the marquis of Zhenguo.

So the Marquis of Zhen Guo roughly said what had just happened.

"You say, someone himself admits that he is the murderer of the king?" After the queen heard this, her phoenix eyes widened and said, "There is such a thing?" Could it be that she was really wronged? ”

"Niangniang, how should this matter be handled, and please show it to Niangniang." The Marquis of Zhenguo is authentic at a glance.

The queen looked at the summer night, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Huang, this palace has thought of a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, catch the madman first, and then reason." ”

"What's the mother's plan?"

"Come with your ears." The queen whispered to the Marquis of Zhenguo.

After the Marquis of Zhenguo nodded again and again, he took a team of men and horses out of the palace gate on a summer night and went all the way to the west.
