Chapter 128: The Fault of the Wise
Jiang Qingyue continued: "When Zhou Rui'an ascended the throne, the border was unstable, although he used a discordant strategy to successfully force you to retreat, but the Tatars have always been ruthless and untrustworthy, and maybe they will make a comeback, so in order to stabilize the government, Zhou Ruian did not make a big move to clean up the courtiers, and the abolition and the Dingguo Mansion have been operating in the court for many years, and finally almost succeeded in forcing the palace, and there are a few henchmen in the court. ”
Jiang Qingyue said this, and glanced at Tuoba Gang: "You have made such a big disturbance in the capital, without the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, it is impossible to do it!" ”
Tuoba Gang quickly came back to his senses and glanced at Jiang Qingyue: "Since you are so smart, it's a pity that you didn't remind Zhou Rui'an, otherwise you wouldn't have fallen into my hands now!" ”
Jiang Qingyue sighed softly, and said helplessly: "No way, this is the conceit of our smart people, we always think that everything can be in our hands, for those who are not smart, we always don't pay attention to it, it's our fault!" ”
Tuobagang: "!! ”
Tuoba Gang couldn't help but say angrily: "Jiang Qingyue! Don't be too arrogant! Don't think I dare kill you! ”
Jiang Qingyue immediately stopped talking.
She really didn't want to die now.
Tuoba just turned around and walked out, he no longer hid his identity, and the guards brought by Tuoba Gang also lived in the courtyards on both sides, Jiang Qingyue saw it in the house, and his brows tightened.
Tuoba just brought so many people to the territory of Dajing, and Zhou Ruian didn't know about it at all! This shows that Zhou Rui'an's control of the government is not thorough enough, and it can also be said that there are not a few ministers in the court who have been bought by Tuobagang, and they are likely to be in high positions!
As a result, Zhou Rui'an's situation will become very dangerous. Also, she is now in the hands of Tuoba Gang, and with Zhou Rui'an's concern for her, she will definitely use her to threaten Zhou Rui'an, and Zhou Rui'an will be even more changed at that time.
You have to find a way to save yourself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue tried to get up from the bed, but she was weak and couldn't exert any strength, it seemed that Tuoba had just drugged her, no wonder she was relieved to let a slave come to detain her just now.
Jiang Qingyue tried desperately to calm herself down, she could only calm down now in order to find a way to get out.
Now three days have passed since Jiang Qingyue's disappearance, and in the past three days, Zhou Ruian has basically determined one thing, Jiang Qingyue is not angry and angry and hiding from people, she was taken hostage and left!
Zhou Rui'an gradually couldn't hold back his temper, sprayed the ministers in the early dynasty, and now the ministers who are a little older are all sick and refuse to go to the court again, all to avoid Zhou Rui'an; After going down to the court, when he returned to the imperial study, the palace maids and eunuchs in the room didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of angering him.
Even Xiao Fuzi was scolded for his trembling hands when he delivered tea, this was the first time that Zhou Ruian had been so angry with the people he was serving.
Xiaofuzi felt bitter in her heart, and she missed Jiang Qingyue very much, why hasn't she come back yet? In desperation, Xiaofuzi called Liu Min into the palace to share the firepower.
In just three days, Liu Min was haggard for several years, he saw Xiaofuzi, frowned and said: "I'm looking for someone outside, you called me in to be scolded, can you find someone for me?" ”
"The emperor is on fire!" Xiao Fuzi looked at him coldly: "It's you who is not doing well, who else do you want to be scolded for you?" ”
Liu Min choked for a moment, and his face was loveless.
Xiaofuzi continued: "You better go in, I guess you can't find anyone if you look for it like this, it's better to ask the emperor and let the emperor think of a way for you, the most important thing now is to find the mother first, if you can't find someone, you have to die!" ”
Isn't that the same as looking for death yourself? Liu Min resisted, he didn't go to see Zhou Rui'an, and he could still excuse himself to find someone, but the time was too short to find it, once he entered, it was equivalent to proving his lack of ability, with Zhou Rui'an's current temper, I was afraid that it would tear his heart.
But Xiaofuzi is right, if Jiang Qingyue is not found again, everyone will have to die.
Liu Min walked in with a heroic expression on his face.
In the past few days, Zhou Rui'an has also been tortured, the whole person has lost weight, since Jiang Qingyue disappeared, he has almost never slept, and occasionally he can't hold on to his disappearance, so he will lean on the chair and take a nap, and the meal is not delicious, Xiaofuzi dared to persuade a few words, and Zhou Ruian used some soup.
How high-spirited and handsome was Zhou Rui'an in the past? But because of his incompetence, he became what he is now, and Liu Min suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
"Your Majesty! are all incompetent subordinates, and they have not yet been able to find the queen's mother, and begged the emperor to confess! Liu Min knelt down directly and said guiltily.
Zhou Rui'an was silent for a moment, and then said: "If I want to blame, I have to blame myself first, I lost her." ”
He lost her, how could he blame him?
Zhou Rui'an's words made Liu Min more and more ashamed.
Zhou Ruian had already spoken: "You get up." ”
Liu Min hesitated for a moment, and then stood up, he wrinkled his brows and said: "Your Majesty, the entire capital has been turned over twice, and Niangniang must not be in the capital now!" Is it possible to send out a portrait of the mother to look for it outside the city? After a pause, he continued: "The subordinates will also have Jinyi Guards, looking for them in four directions!" They will not travel too fast with their mothers, and maybe they can catch up now. ”
Zhou Rui'an was silent for a moment, and then continued: "In the past two days, I have also been thinking, from the accident in Qingyue to the order to block the whole city, but in just a few hours, Qingyue disappeared without a trace, what does this mean?" This shows that the other party must be prepared! And it's well planned! After a pause, he sighed: "It's all because I hurt her." ”
Liu Min was silent, that person must have taken Jiang Qingyue to threaten Zhou Ruian, so Zhou Ruian said that he had harmed Jiang Qingyue.
"The Emperor's ......"
Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed, and he continued: "If this group of people had come to the capital a long time ago, then it would be impossible for there to be no trace at all!" You go to check, in the month before Qingyue's disappearance, were there any suspicious people in the city? Moreover, who had left the city in the period before the blockade was ordered? Is there a large convoy of people? ”
"Qing Yue's martial arts are not weak, if you want to catch her, there will be no fewer people, they want to investigate Qing Yue's range of activities, this movement will not be small!"
After listening to Zhou Rui'an's words, Liu Min couldn't help but look abrupt, no wonder Xiaofuzi would let him ask Zhou Rui'an for help, Zhou Rui'an did not lose his mind, he had been calmly and rationally analyzing the clues after Jiang Qingyue's disappearance.
"Yes! Subordinates understand! The subordinates will send someone to investigate! Liu Min said in high spirits.
Liu Min felt that Zhou Ruian had already said so much, if he couldn't find Jiang Qingyue, he wouldn't have to be the commander of this brocade guard!
Zhou Rui'an waved his hand, signaling him to be calm, and his eyes flashed with a ghostly light: "I always feel that Qingyue's disappearance is related to the girl from the Du family!" ”
Liu Min was furious: "The emperor is saying that the Du family is in a gang with the kidnappers?" ”
Zhou Ruian shook his head: "It may not be a gang, it's just that you have been ignoring one thing, how did the girl from the Du family suddenly return to the capital?" ”
Liu Min paused for a moment, he really didn't think about it, after Jiang Qingyue disappeared, his mind was full of looking for Jiang Qingyue, where could he take care of the girl of the Du family? But now that he heard Zhou Rui'an say this, Liu Min realized that things were very strange, if it wasn't for the girl from the Du family who made trouble, Jiang Qingyue would not have left the Du family.
In the past, before Zhou Ruian ascended the throne, he had been secretly sending people to protect Jiang Qingyue, because at that time, whether it was Zhou Ruian or Jiang Qingyue, there were many enemies, and at that time, Zhou Ruian prevented the queen from making a move against Jiang Qingyue.
Later, Zhou Ruian ascended the throne, and the queen also lost power, and she couldn't hurt Jiang Qingyue anymore, and Jiang Qingyue didn't like anyone to follow her, so Zhou Ruian thought that now that he was the emperor, he would definitely be able to protect her, so he followed her.
I didn't expect that it was precisely because of this that those people were given a chance!
"Go and interrogate the Du family girl!" Zhou Ruian immediately said: "Who sent her back to the capital, and Du Wentao, you have all investigated it for me!" ”
Liu Min's expression was awe-inspiring, and he responded with a full face: "Yes!" ”
After Liu Min finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, he knew that the Du family was really dead this time, if Jiang Qingyue was fine, maybe he would intercede for the Du family, if Jiang Qingyue had any mistakes, the Du family would be finished.
Originally, Zhou Ruian didn't really want to ask the Du family, after all, the Du family was innocent in this matter, and the reason why he attacked the Du family was just that he was worried that Jiang Qingyue was deliberately hiding from people, but now it is basically certain that Jiang Qingyue is very likely to be taken hostage, and it is said that with Zhou Ruian's temperament, he will not be too embarrassed by the Du family.
But now it's different, if the kidnappers really took advantage of the girl of the Du family and kidnapped Jiang Qingyue, then the Du family is really in trouble.
Liu Min followed Zhou Rui'an's prompts and began to investigate, and he really found a lot of things in this investigation.
Liu Min went to Zhou Rui'an with a solemn expression to report: "A month before Niangniang lived in the Du family, a group of people entered the capital, about 20 people, these people entered the city in batches, but they all lived in the city...... Mochizuki Tower. ”
Zhou Ruian frowned fiercely when he heard this name, Wangyue Tower is the largest restaurant in the capital, and the behind-the-scenes boss of this restaurant is actually Zhao Tianqiao, the father of Qin Guifei, and later the queen was powerful and killed Qin Guifei, this Wangyue Tower was occupied by Fang Mingkun by Fang Mingkun.
After that, the queen was deposed, Zhou Ruian ascended the throne, and the Dingguo Mansion was confiscated, and this Moon Tower also became the property of the imperial court, but of course Zhou Ruian would not notice a small Moon Tower, so he let the people below deal with it.
And Mochizuki Tower has been in business for many years, and it is impossible to completely eliminate characters such as shopkeepers and small servants, so no one can be sure whether this is mixed with other people's eyeliner.
"It's just that whether these people lived in the Moon Tower unintentionally or deliberately, it is unknown, but it is certain that these people must be in a group! They planned to capture the mother. Liu Min paused and continued: "There is another thing, the subordinates investigated that Niangniang disappeared on Zhengyang Street. ”
Zhengyang Street is the most prosperous street in the capital, there is no one, the whole street is inhabited by dignitaries, among which the second prince's mansion is located here.
These things all point to the second prince!
Zhou Ruian pondered for a moment, and then said: "These people must have deliberately lived in the Moon Tower!" First of all, everything when they came to the capital to arrest people was planned in advance, a place like a residence is so important, they will definitely not find a place at random, they must choose a place that will make them feel safe, so that they can implement their plan! ”
Then it is very likely that Mochizuki Tower will know the identity of these kidnappers!
When Liu Min heard this, his brows furrowed: "Your Majesty, judging from the clues we have so far, these kidnappers are all well-trained and act in a uniform manner, I am afraid that they are not ordinary bandits, and they are very likely to be Tatars!" ”
Zhou Rui'an's expression was grim, and then he said in a deep voice: "There are so many Tatars, but entering my capital city is like entering a no-man's land!" It seems that this court is really going to clean up! ”
Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed with a fierce light, he didn't move the ministers of the court before, because he had just ascended the throne, and many things needed to be planned slowly, and he couldn't be in a hurry, but he didn't expect that Jiang Qingyue was already threatened now!
"It seems that this government really has to be sorted out!" Zhou Ruian said lightly, paused, and continued: "With so many people leaving the capital, the movement will not be small, you go and check, on the day of Qingyue's disappearance, and three days before her disappearance, who was on duty in the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses?" ”
The Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is responsible for the guards of the city gate of the capital, and has absolute dispatch power, if the kidnappers collude with the ministers in the court, maybe they can start from the city gate guards and find out the clues.
Liu Min's eyes flashed, and he bowed slightly: "Yes!" When the subordinates go back, they will send someone to check! After a pause, he was a little worried: "But the emperor, Niangniang, do you think there will be some danger?" ”
Zhou Ruian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "At present, it shouldn't be, they can't hold Qingyue hostage just to clamp me down, and the living Qingyue is more useful to them, so they won't hurt Qingyue easily." After a pause, he continued: "And looking at the method this time, plus among the Tatars, only Tuoba Gang knows Dajing best, and this incident must also be his handiwork. ”
When Tuoba Gang was mentioned, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes: "With Tuoba Gang, he can't deal with Qingyue!" ”
Liu Min was slightly stunned, but when he thought that Jiang Qingyue had resisted the Tatar warriors with his own strength, he felt that Zhou Rui'an's words were not unreasonable.
"Then the subordinate will now send someone to hunt down Tuoba Gang in the direction of Tatar!" Liu Min said decisively.
Zhou Ruian waved his hand: "I'm not busy," he paused, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said, "You send someone to Liuzhou!" By the way, with Su Yiming, you will chase in the direction of Liuzhou! You go to take the route I took to Liuzhou, you go back and ask Luobei, and he will tell you. ”
Liu Min was stunned, he didn't quite understand what Zhou Rui'an meant, there are many roads to Tatar, and Liuzhou is definitely the most difficult one, for no other reason, because Liuzhou is the border pass of Dajing, and the army is stationed, if Tuoba Gang goes to Liuzhou, it will be equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and killing himself, why did Tuoba Gang do this?
However, Zhou Rui'an's judgment never missed, Liu Min just shook his head for a moment, and then immediately said: "Yes!" Subordinates, let's go! ”
Zhou Rui'an's eyes flashed, and the fingers on his side couldn't help but slowly retract, hoping that Qingyue would have to wait until he went to save her.
At this time, Jiang Qingyue had just woken up, and they had already left the village where they had rested, and they drove for another two days, this time staying in a big mountain, and they did not live in a farmer's house, but set up their own tents.
Although she is a prisoner, Jiang Qingyue has no consciousness of being a prisoner at all, she eats and drinks well every day, sleeps well, lives a leisurely life, and has to flirt with the moon slave when she is idle and bored, which makes Tuoba Gang, who has to use flying pigeons to pass books every day to deal with official business, very jealous in his heart.
Jiang Qingyue's hands were tied, but her mouth could move, she looked at the moon slave, and pleaded softly: "Yuebao, I'm hungry." ”
Yue Nu glanced at the plate she had just put away, and was a little incredulous: "But, but you just finished eating!" ”
"But it's not delicious!" Jiang Qingyue said confidently: "I want to eat elbows, fat elbows, this is called a must-have for dinner, how can ordinary dishes be compared?" Yuebao, are you going to make me an elbow? You see, I'm going to be hungry and thin if I don't eat a meal. ”
Yuenu was soft-hearted by her begging, so she had to nod her head and turn around to cut her elbow.
Tuoba Gang watched coldly, watching his maid being bought by Jiang Qingyue like this.
"Humph! Have you been pretending to be a man for so long that you really think of yourself as a man? Tuoba Gang sneered and said, "I actually learn to flirt with girls!" ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him lightly: "You are jealous that I am more popular than you, and I am generous and don't care about you!" ”
Tuoba Gang snorted coldly: "I don't see what is good about you, these two are dead to you!" ”
When Jiang Qingyue heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "One or two?" Who else is dead set on me? How did I not know? ”
As soon as Tuoba realized that he had said the wrong thing, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and he said in a disguised manner: "Don't you Central Plains people say that? Am I not right? ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously, paused, and then said in understanding: "Zhou Rui'an came to me, and your trick was discovered by him." ”
Tuoba Gang sneered: "I'm not surprised at all that he will find out, even if he does, what? Don't forget, now that I have your death-free gold medal in my hand, I don't believe he will care about your life or death! After a pause, he glanced at Jiang Qingyue: "I advise you to think about your own safety if you have time!" ”
As soon as Tuoba finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Jiang Qingyue looked at his back, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
At night, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, and Jiang Qingyue woke up immediately, her body was soft, but her mind was very clear.
Tuoba Gang and Yuenu soon walked into her tent together, both of them looking hurried.
Jiang Qingyue couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Let's go!" Tuoba Gang ordered.
As soon as the moon slave resisted, Jiang Qingyue walked out.
Jiang Qingyue immediately understood that Zhou Rui'an must have sent someone to find it! Their whereabouts were discovered, so Tuoba had to evacuate urgently.
Jiang Qingyue was put into a carriage, Tuoba Gang also sat up, driving a moon slave, Jiang Qingyue didn't sit down, the carriage jumped out.
The carriage was speeding and driving very fast, and it was impossible to see at all that a little girl like Yuenu, who was easily shy, was so skilled in driving that Jiang Qingyue almost threw it out.
Jiang Qingyue fell on the carriage, Tuoba Gang looked at her coldly, and said sneeringly: "It's really useless!" I really don't know what Zhou Ruian likes about you? ”
Jiang Qing became more and more angry: "It's not too useful, it's just that I have defeated the Tatar prince several times!" ”
Tuoba Gang was annoyed and angry, glaring at her and saying, "What are the times? But only twice! Another time I was injured, and you took advantage of someone's danger! Enter! Despicable and cunning Central Plains people! ”
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him and said slowly: "The Central Plains dialect is very neat, aren't we Central Plains people used to exaggerating large quantities?" Don't you already know? ”
Tuobagang: "......"
These Central Plains people are really annoying!
Jiang Qingyue was so weak that he couldn't use his strength, and he had just offended the only two other people in the carriage, and Tuoba Gang obviously wouldn't come to help her, Jiang Qingyue didn't mind, so he sat on the side and raised his head to look at Tuoba Gang.
"I'm curious, the abolished queen is dead, she can't give you what you want anymore, why do you continue to cooperate with the abolished centaurs?" Jiang Qingyue asked puzzledly, "I always thought that the cooperative relationship between the two of you was over. ”
Tuoba just glanced at her, sneered and said, "Since you are so smart, then you can guess for yourself!" ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded: "Okay, then I'll guess, if the guess is wrong, you can add." After a pause, she said something that made Tuoba Gang shocked: "We are now on the way to Liuzhou." ”
Tuoba Gang's face changed suddenly, but he returned to normal in an instant, but even a momentary change of color did not escape the gaze of Jiang Qingyue, who had been staring at him.
Jiang Qingyue knew that he had guessed correctly.
Tuoba Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you say that?" I didn't show the slightest trace that we were going to Liuzhou, did I? ”
Jiang Qingyue looked at the car window, a touch of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly: "You may not know, the place where everything started is this road to Liuzhou," paused, she glanced at Tuoba Gang: "Although we didn't take this road at that time." ”
At the beginning of everything, it was Luo Bei who walked into the Weiyuan Dart Bureau and asked the Weiyuan Dart Bureau to escort the darts, at that time, Zhou Rui'an in order to investigate the corruption of ink at the border pass, so he dressed up, and they met a lot of assassins who came to attack, and later Jiang Qingyue thought of a way to break the whole into zero.
She asked several people to pretend to be Zhou Rui'an, and went to Liuzhou from different routes, in order to implement this plan and choose the way forward, Jiang Qingyue and Zhou Rui'an studied all the routes to Liuzhou, and she will never forget it in her life.
So even if she hadn't walked this road, judging from the direction she was going in the past few days, she could guess that they were going to Liuzhou.
