Chapter Seventy-Four: Duplicity is not a cutie
"Fuck off! Dog stuff! Dead Eunuch! You'd better not let Miss Ben out alive! Otherwise, I will break you to pieces! Liu Pingle's hands and feet were controlled and couldn't move, but her eyes looked at Tan Hebai who was drinking tea quietly outside the prison door as if she had been quenched with poison, as if she was not afraid of her next fate at all, and was full of hatred.
Tan and Bai asked someone to humiliate her, but not to see her unyielding appearance, he wanted to see her cry bitterly, and he wanted to see her afraid.
At this time, Tan and Bai were so angry that they slammed the cup they had put away to the ground, and drew a long knife from the hand of a guard next to them and walked towards the cell door.
The four people who came to insult Liu Pingle saw that Tan and Bai had come in person, so they didn't move first and stepped aside.
Tan and Bai raised their knives and were about to slash at Liu Pingle, but at this moment, there was a loud "bang" behind them, Tan and Bai were stunned, they didn't care about dealing with Liu Pingle, and quickly looked back, and saw that the cell door was kicked in, and the two guards guarding the door were also lying on the ground vomiting blood, and their facial features were twisted together, which was very painful.
Then, Yuan Qilu, who was dressed in women's clothes, walked in, his bun had already been scattered in the rush just now, and without the foil of the bun, he didn't look like a woman anymore.
"Ouch, isn't this Concubine Ning's younger brother?" Tan Youbai has been on an errand in the palace for many years, and has seen Yuan Qilu many times, and at this time, he recognized him immediately, glanced at him with a sneer, and said, "Look at what you are wearing, tsk...... Why don't you look like a man more than our family? β
Yuan Qilu ignored his ridicule, rushed into the prison with an arrow step, protected Liu Pingle behind him, and faced Tan Youbai and many brocade guards.
He knew very well that although he was strong in martial arts, the other party was outnumbered, and he was still very reluctant to protect a person to escape from here.
Now, I can only delay as much time as possible, waiting for An Ge to bring someone from the palace.
In the palace, Jing Lan had already woken up Yin Mu, who had just fallen asleep.
Yin Mu put on a robe at random at this time, and after listening to An Ge tell the cause and effect of the incident, he immediately called someone to go to the Dongchang prison to bring Liu Pingle, Tan and Bai and others over, and sent someone to Liufu to invite Liu Zongfang, and even Su Yi'an, who only participated in one link, also called over.
An Ge knew that as soon as this matter was stabbed in front of the emperor, she didn't have time to discuss countermeasures with Liu Pingle, in case she lied, and when the time came, they would become unreasonable, so she didn't care about affecting the reputation of the Liu family, and explained everything including the fact that Mu and her cousin had a personal affair.
Taking advantage of the time when the palace guards went to lead people, An Ge was not idle, she knew that Liu Zongfang was fine, the emperor would not necessarily punish Tan and Bai in any way, and Tan and Bai would not be able to kill Tan and Bai at once, and Tan and Bai would intensify their efforts to deal with them in the future.
So she thought about provoking a few words, and said to Yin Mu on the seat: "Your Majesty, Tan Hebai hid from you to directly dispose of the concubines of the third-grade officials in the court, how rampant is this?" Even when Weichen was about to enter the palace, Tan and Bai's lackeys knew that the queen's mother's instructions were true, and they still stopped the officials, which was not taking the queen's mother in their eyes at all! The imperial power seemed to be nothing in his eyes, Tan and Bai's tentacles were all over the court and the palace, how could the emperor tolerate such eunuchs to continue to behave in trouble? β
An Ge finished these words with a hanging heart, she urinated on her father's side to listen to all kinds of government affairs, she knew that the current ruler of Dali was ambitious, first replaced the former governor of Dongchang, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and calmed down the external and internal troubles, he would never tolerate someone to continue to challenge his authority
, it stands to reason that his remarks should be nine out of ten......
After hearing these words, Jing Lan sighed faintly in his heart, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea, but touched his lips and put the teacup down again.
Yin Mu didn't seem to be waking up a little, his elbows supported the chair handle carved into the shape of a dragon, looked at Jing Lan, and asked, "Jing Lan, do you think what An Ge said is reasonable?" β
If he had been a different person and said this in front of the emperor, he would have bluntly pointed out the mistakes in his words and would not have given him any room for maneuver.
But in the end, Ange......
Jing Lan didn't answer Yin Mu's question, but looked at An Ge and asked, "An Ge, what you can think of as a young girl who has just reached Lu, can't you think of a minister who is older than you in the court?" The emperor can't think of it? Do you want to point it out? β
"yes, you're bold." Yin Mu smiled inexplicably, looked at An Ge and said, that was not very kind, as if An Ge was going to kill her if he was wrong in his next sentence.
An Ge pursed his lips, what does Jing Lan mean by this? Could it be that he is still holding a grudge against her previous insinuation that he was a broken sleeve and deliberately provoking?
Wrong! If he provoked, he wouldn't mention the words "the girl who just reached the end of the year", these words implied that she was young and ignorant, in order to give her a chance to admit her mistakes and give her room to maneuver!
But what did you do wrong......
An Ge thought about what he had just said in his heart several times...... Yes, what kind of person is the emperor, is it her turn to be smart here!
An Ge kowtowed violently and said in a panic: "The emperor forgives his sins!" The emperor is the master of the entire Dali, how wise and powerful, of course he knows what Tan and Bai did, and it is naturally not time for the emperor to move him...... I begged the emperor to forgive An Ge for being young and ignorant, and she was a woman, and she was persecuted like that and desperately escaped for her life, so she said the wrong thing in a panic......"
In order to let Yin Mu completely dispel his scruples about her mouthful, An Ge also whimpered twice and pretended to cry.
Tan and Bai are also the overseers of Dongchang, even if they are thin and dead, they have a hundred and ten catties of meat, and she didn't really hurt the Liu family in this matter, which is not a big mistake, Tan and Bai want to exonerate themselves easily.
Yin Mu naturally can't move him now, and he has to find a major opportunity that he can't turn over, so that he can catch it all.
It's a very simple truth, she should have thought of it, but she was thinking about Liu Pingle's safety, thinking about completely getting rid of Tan and Bai so that he wouldn't retaliate in the future, so she said it smartly.
There was a slight chuckle at the corner of Yin Mu's mouth, and An Ge didn't know what he was thinking, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to come out.
Jing Lan knew that Yin Mu's killing was decisive, and he also knew that he was by no means as merciful as he showed, so he quietly excused An Ge: "Heh, I still remember the way you exonerated yourself in front of the emperor before, and the last time you settled the trouble for the queen mother in the previous dynasty, you were really high-spirited at that time, how can the Liu family, which has nothing to do with you, suffer, you cry and make trouble, dare to say any nonsense, and still make it like this...... If it weren't for the urgency of the matter tonight, I would never have taken you into the palace with your dirty and smelly appearance. β
Yin Mu was reminded by him like this, and thought of An Ge's previous exoneration of the queen, An Ge had sold him a favor in the end, and now he really looked panicked and pitiful.
Yin Mu seemed to have just remembered something, and hurriedly ordered: "What are you crying about, I can still be difficult for your sister-in-law."
Mother? I was woken up in the middle of the night and was still a little delirious. β
An Ge thanked him, rubbed his eyes that didn't squeeze out a few tears, stood up, sat on the chair sent by the waiter, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart...... Previously, she ran away from illness when she was in the palace, and when she hinted that he and Jing Lan were broken sleeves, she defended herself, and he didn't ask her for trouble later, so she thought that this emperor was really a good-tempered person.
She is still too naΓ―ve, and when it comes to government affairs in the future, she should be less prominent.
Not long after she sat down, all the people involved were brought into the main hall, An Ge looked at Liu Pingle first, although her hair was messy and her clothes were untidy, her expression was still normal, and it seemed that she had not had time to be hurt, and An Ge was relieved.
Liu Zongfang was not very well, he was still sick at this time, Yin Munian was not in good health and was old, so he hurriedly asked someone to give him a seat first.
Yuan Qilu was visibly injured in several places, and blood was oozing from his arm, but he was still strong and didn't look serious.
Yin Mu's eyes swept over a room of people, and finally landed on Su Yi'an, and asked, "An Ge just told me that when Mu was handed over to you and Yuan Qilu, she was still alive, why did she die later?" β
Su Yi'an replied unhurriedly: "When the minister and Yuan Qilu sent Mu and his cousin out of the city, the two of them were indeed alive, Miss Liu was kind at heart, although she knew that this concubine was fornicating with other men behind Lord Liu's back, but in the end she still couldn't bear to hurt them, she just wanted to persuade them to go to the side to live, and stuffed a lot of silver taels into them...... Yuan Qilu and I rushed back after sending the two of us to the outskirts of Daxing County, and we didn't know what happened next. β
After listening to this, the most excited was Liu Zongfang, he pointed at Su Yi'an and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" How could Yu Niang ...... with others?"
Su Yi'an looked at him and chuckled: "Lord Liu, the matter of the lower officials going to your house to check the pulse of you and the Mu family is the strategy of Miss Liu and Miss An, in order to find out whether that child is yours or not." The child in Muhammad's womb has been more than three months old, and Lord Liu can think about whether the time is right or not. β
Liu Pingle saw that he couldn't hide this matter, and hurriedly looked at Liu Zongfang and said, "Dad! It's all my daughter's fault, my daughter doesn't want to tell you about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, so she has to drive her away in private......"
"Okay, let's not talk about your family affairs yet." Yin Mu raised his hand to interrupt Liu Zongfang's plan to dig to the end, and looked at Yuan Qilu, he still knew about this brother-in-law, although this person was strong in martial arts, but he didn't know how to lie, so he asked, "Yuan Qilu, is what Su Yi'an said true?" β
Yuan Qilu thought about An Ge's previous intimidation, he couldn't let An Ge know that he was also involved in the killing, he didn't look up at Yin Mu, just nodded.
Yin Mu looked at Tan and Bai again: "How do you know that the Mu family was killed by Liu Qing?" Do you have proof? β
"This ......" Tan and Bai where is there any evidence, but there are also his eyes and ears on the outskirts of the county, and he came to report at night that someone had killed people and dumped his body, and the capable eyes and ears also found out that it was someone from Liufu, so he went to Liufu with the intention of being able to make a profit, and wanted some silver, who thought of seeing Liu Pingle who worked in the Dibao Mansion, he was angry and didn't care about her life......
If he wants evidence, where does he go to find evidence?
But if he doesn't give evidence, won't he be convicted of being so powerful that even the third-grade officials in the DPRK and China dare to move?
