288: Dead and innocent
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ping...... He also forced Fu You to blame the salt and iron case on King Xian, but Fu You refused, so ......"
"Blame Bojun, I want Bojun to take the blame for him." Zhong Liyue laughed, a mouthful of blood-stained red teeth, which looked particularly oozing, and made others feel extremely desolate.
His five sons, Ling'er and Yun'er, have done so many unknown things for the sake of this emperor, mutilating their brothers and sisters. They really disappointed him, as an emperor, he knew that this kind of thing was inevitable, but when it happened, he still found it difficult to accept.
"Gonggong Zhao......" Zhong Liyue burst into tears in front of Sima Shangshu: "The decree has been passed on, it has been verified that Zhong Liyun, the king of Ping, is the mastermind of the salt and iron case, according to the law...... When chopping. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing him so grief-stricken, Gonggong Zhao couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty, the old slave will declare the imperial doctor for you." ”
"Three days later...... Execution, Sima Shangshu, Aiqing! Zhong Liyue coughed a few more times: "Cough...... Stand down! ”
"The old minister retired."
……
The officers and soldiers surrounded the Pingwang Mansion, and when Sima Shangshu found Zhong Liyun, he was drinking and having fun with Youling. When he saw the officers and soldiers, his face was full of astonishment.
"Why are you arresting this king?"
"His Royal Highness King Ping, Fu You has already surrendered to the law and confessed all his crimes. Li Tangsheng's ledger has been found, so you don't have to continue to quibble. "The person who came to assist in the arrest this time was Wei Shangqing's subordinate Vice General Zhao, and the garrison camp had a lot of things to deal with, coupled with the turmoil in Yue'an City, Wei Shangqing was already too busy to touch the ground.
"Youling, you betrayed this king?"
"The concubine doesn't know." He looked at Youling, who had already burst into tears.
Then Zhao Gonggong appeared in front of him and read the holy decree in front of him, and when he heard the news of the beheading three days later, the whole person became a little abnormal, what a blow this was, Youling betrayed him.
Youling is the only woman he has ever loved in his life, and the only woman who regrets letting down his guard against her.
He planned everything, and planned that after ascending the throne, he would make Youling a concubine, but he didn't expect that all this would be like smoke and instantly disillusioned.
He originally wanted to pretend to talk to Wei Ziyu about the salt and iron case and Bai Yang. Through getting along with Wei Ziyu, he tested whether the second brother had affection for Wei Ziyu. If there is affection, you can take the opportunity to anger the second brother, Li Xishuang will inevitably be jealous, she can't hurt Wei Ziyu, and she will definitely be angry with her sister.
Wei Kexin has been wronged, and will definitely go back to the Wei family to complain, Wei Shangqing knows that his daughter is angry, so he can make the Wei family and the Xian Wangfu discord, so that the second brother will never be able to eliminate the estrangement between him and the Wei family. He did all of this, and he succeeded!
He knew that Chen Lu was still investigating the Yantie case, and after letting Fu You blame the Yantie case on the second brother, he could not only get rid of the second brother, but also make Wei Ziyu completely dead to him. He had the opportunity to marry Wei Ziyu, and with the support of the Wei family, he had the bargaining chip to defeat the queen.
He planned everything clearly, but at the last and most critical step went wrong. If that fork in the road is not made, it should be the Xianwang Mansion that is besieged now, and the person who will be beheaded in three days will also be the second brother. In this way, he no longer has to worry about Zhao Linhuai's family suddenly appearing, he can laugh at Qiao Jiang being chased and killed by the Delusional Sect.
It's just that...... He has made thousands of calculations, and he has missed people's hearts.
It misses Youling's heart.
Zhong Liyun and Youling were imprisoned together, and they stayed in the same cell. Zhong Liyun had nothing to say to Youling, and Youling also sat in the corner silently.
……
When the fools in Huancheng got the news, they informed Manxiu. Man Xiu hurried back to Jinghuanfang, and Qianlan was thinking about how to deal with Zhizhenmen.
"Master of the door, King Ping has subdued the law." Before Man Xiu walked in the door, he spoke.
When Qianlan heard the news, she hurriedly stood up: "What about San'er?" Go to Eryaju and call San'er. ”
Man Xiu was ordered to go to Eryaju, and San'er was sitting by the medicine stove with Qing Yingyu, talking and laughing. Man Xiu briefly explained his intentions, and San'er followed Man Xiu to Yiyaju.
"What is the door master looking for his subordinates? If you report Mr. Qi's whereabouts, Mr. Qi has been staying in Erya House recently, and he has not even left the door. ”
"King Ping has subdued the law." Qianlan glanced at him, in his eyes, is she, the master of the door, so unprofessional? Ask him all day long about the whereabouts of a man.
"Ping, Ping......" San'er raised his head instantly, his eyes were full of tears, and in an instant, he poured out.
"Cut in three days." Qianlan continued: "You don't have to come forward, since everyone has forgotten about you, you don't appear in front of everyone, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
"But the master ...... the door"
"The master of this sect allows you to go down the mountain to leave the city, and you can go with him!" Qianlan gave Man Xiu a look.
"Li San thanked the master."
"Let's go!" Man Xiu sighed, and Li San ran back to Erya Ju to pack his baggage with great interest.
Man Xiu was waiting for him at the entrance of Jinghuanfang, and the two went down the mountain together to leave the city. Qing Yingyu knew that King Ping had an accident, and his hanging heart finally fell, King Ping was really the mastermind of the salt and iron case, killing so many people, the most innocent of them was the young master's guard Bai Yang!
King Ping is really innocent.
The news that Zhong Liyun was about to be beheaded spread all over the streets and alleys, and the people talked about it. A few months after the crown prince of the Great Qi Dynasty was deposed, King Ping was also about to be beheaded because of his involvement in the salt and iron case. Now among the remaining three princes, only the Sixth Highness and King Xian have the ability to take on the big responsibility, but I don't know who the emperor will choose between the two of them?
Wei Ziyu and Zhongli Boqian walked together in the market, listening to the voices of the people. Wei Ziyu tilted his head and looked at the thoughtful Zhongli Boqian with some distress: "Why do they all think that Boqian is not capable of taking on the big responsibility?" ”
"Because Boqian looks incompetent!"
"You're the first man I've ever met who dared to admit that he couldn't do it." Wei Ziyu nodded approvingly.
"Where can't I?" As soon as Zhongli Boqian heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and chased after Wei Ziyu and asked, "Why can't I?" How can you say I can't? Anyone can say I can't, but you can't. ”
"Good, good...... You're great, you're the best. Wei Ziyu couldn't stand Zhongli Boqian's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he simply compromised.
Zhongli Boqian was rarely quiet, he had been thinking about the news he heard in Jinghuanfang, the sixth brother and the elder brother, can they only exist one? Still is...... The remaining three princes can only exist in the strongest one? The survival rules of the emperor's family are always so cruel, and he is a little sad.
Zhong Li Boqian returned to King Xian's Mansion, and Zhong Liyi had been waiting for him in Hanxiao Courtyard for a long time. As soon as Zhongli Boqian stepped into the courtyard gate, he was pulled out of the mansion by Zhong Liyi, who ran out of the house, and climbed into the carriage.
On the way, I learned that my father was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood because of the third brother's matter, and he is now recuperating in the Imperial Palace.
When Zhongli Boqian arrived, Zhongli Yue had already woken up, and he learned that Zhongli Boqian was waiting outside the hall, and reprimanded Zhao Gonggong in a low voice: "Didn't you let you hide your illness?" ”
"Slaves are guilty."
"Alright, alright, get up!" Zhongli sat up and forced himself: "Do I look energetic?" ”
"Back to the emperor, you look much more energetic now."
"Go get me some books."
"Yes."
Zhong Li Boqian waited outside the hall for a long time before he saw Zhong Liyue. When he saw his father, he raised his head from the pile of folds and asked lightly, "What is Qian'er looking for me?" ”
"Father, Qian'er heard that you are sick, is it serious? Is it better now? Have you ever asked the Imperial Doctor to come and see it? ”
Zhongli Boqian's series of questions made him a little stunned, and he reacted, pretending to smile easily: "I just didn't expect your third brother to be so bad, so I was in a hurry. The imperial doctor checked the pulse, and there was no big problem, and Qian'er didn't need to worry about it. ”
"Is it really just a rush to the heart?" Zhongli Boqian was skeptical.
"If Qian'er has extra thoughts, it is better to tell me the woman you like, your brother has become a relative, and your sixth brother is about to marry, but you are the only one who can't rest assured." Zhong Liyue hid the bitterness in his eyes, he didn't know how much time he had left. Looking at the situation today, I am afraid that ......
"Father doesn't have to worry about Qian'er, he must take care of his health."
"I'm fine." Zhongli smiled kindly.
When Zhongli Boqian left, he finally couldn't control his cough.
"Alas~" sighed and laughed helplessly.
……
The three-day deadline has expired, and King Ping was sentenced to be beheaded because of his involvement in the salt and iron case.
Wei Ziyu was too lazy to go to the execution ground, her father was still busy in the garrison camp, and she just took advantage of her spare time to think about how to approach Qiao Jiang. Where to start with the death of the mother?
Heiyue walked into the room, lifted the bead curtain, and walked to Wei Ziyu with the pastry: "Miss, today, His Royal Highness King Ping will be executed, don't you go to take a look?" ”
"What's there to see." Wei Ziyu replied casually: "King Ping's death is his own fault." ”
"Miss, maybe you will have some windfall if you go."
"Windfall?" Wei Ziyu raised his chin and chuckled: "Yes, how can you find out the news without going out." Go to King Xian's Mansion to report a message to His Royal Highness the Seventh, ask him to accompany me to the execution ground, and I will change my clothes. ”
"Miss, Your Highness the Seventh is waiting in the front hall!" Black Moon smacked her lips.
“……”
It turned out that Black Moon didn't mention it in passing, but came prepared. Wei Ziyu changed into a black power suit, stood his hair up high, and looked a little more energetic.
Wei Ziyu walked to the front hall and really saw Zhongli Boqian, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Why don't you tell the story?"
"Aren't you here?"
"Bo Qian, is this going to stay in the Captain's Mansion? When did you buy off the Black Moon, and the two of you worked together to calculate me? ”
Zhongli Boqian hurriedly waved his hand: "No, we didn't calculate you. ”
"Got it, I'm going to tease you!" Wei Ziyu pursed his mouth: "What are you really doing then?" ”
"But...... I took everything you said seriously. ”
Never ignored, never doubted.
