Chapter 388: Assault

Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

In the capital for four years, Meng Tingping has not used Li Xi, and when Li Xi's position is stable, from the nineteenth year of Xuanqing, Li Xi has gradually been reused by Meng Tingping.

Many things that Meng Tingping is inconvenient to complete, are to be completed by Li Xi.

For example, framing.

Li Xi was in charge of the camp outside Beijing, and would patrol the city outside on weekdays, and when Xuanqing was twenty years old, Meng Tingping framed Peng Yuan, the imperial historian of the court, and he asked Li Xi to lead people to pretend to be fierce house slaves, and after robbing the peasants' land outside the city, he left words that Peng Yuan did it. The people were wronged and reported to the capital, and Li Xi was responsible for intercepting and killing, causing public anger. This incident made a big fuss back then, and Peng Yuan was soon imprisoned, and finally died of illness in the prison.

Peng Yuan, that was the disciple of the Qu family back then!

Qu Yanming pressed the cold light in his eyes and continued to listen to Li Xi.

Because Li Xi is a big camp outside the city and rarely returns to the capital, Meng Tingping knows that his chess piece is not easy to come by, so he has rarely used him. Meng Tingping told Li Xi to stay in the camp with peace of mind, and when he needed it, he would be his most important knife.

waited for Li Xi to wait until the twenty-first year of Xuanqing.

In the twentieth year of Xuanqing, Pei Yongjun, the prince of Tai'an, died, and the eldest daughter Pei Xie Tang took over the throne and cleaned up the northwest. Li Xi once took this little girl when Pei Xie Tang was a child, and he paid a lot of attention to all of her, and Meng Tingping also praised her a lot in the past, saying that Pei Xie Tang is a good girl, and it will be much easier to control than Pei Yongjun, an old fox. However, after a palace banquet ended, the New Year had never passed, and Meng Tingping suddenly found him and said that he would do whatever it took to get rid of Pei Xie Tang.

Meng Tingping promised him that once the matter was done, he would send him to the northwest and become the commander of the Cold Bronze Army.

From the twenty-first to the twenty-second year of Xuanqing, he organized fifty-three assassinations against Pei Xie Tang, each of which ended in failure. She is very vigilant, her skills are good, and there are always high-ranking people around her to protect her, which makes it difficult for Li Xi to move an inch.

Seeing that he was incompetent, Meng Tingping was unhappy and scolded him several times.

Later, he really couldn't take Pei Xietang's head, so Meng Tingping changed his plan.

In the twenty-third year of Xuanqing, there was a matter of killing Pei Xie Tang in front of the people of the whole city on the Xuanjiao Tower.

After Pei Xie Tang's death, Meng Tingping was still not at ease, he once tried to snatch Pei Xie Tang's body, however, at the beginning, Pei Xie Tang's body was protected by Qu Yanming, and then by Gao Xingzhi, and finally, it was handed over to Zhu Xinzhi, the prince of Huai'an.

Zhu Xin was cautious and kept Pei Xie Tang well, he never had a chance, and he finally grabbed Pei Xie Tang's coffin until the day of the first seven burials.

In order not to show their feet, they discussed, grabbed the coffin, opened the coffin to find something, and then set fire to the body. However, Zhu Xinzhi chased very closely, and the coffin had to be sent to the city.

In one of the courtyards, they opened the coffin.

Meng Tingping said that all those who could write and leave marks in the coffin should be brought back. He was surprised, but he did it, but alas, there was nothing. On the contrary, it is such an action that makes them full of flaws.

After that, the whole city knew about it, and there was no need to say anything more.

Qu Yanming nodded, turned around and asked Han Zhizhu, "Have you written it down?" ”

"Got it." Han Zhizhu's head.

Qu Yanming turned his head to Chen Yuan: "What about you, is there anything you want to add?" ”

"You all know, I don't need to add up." Chen Yuan shook his head with a pale face: "I am from the second room of the Chen family, although my father and Chen Zhao have the same heart, but no one in the Chen family knows that my father is a dog of the Chen family." Even with me, I was despised by the Chen family, if I didn't have an official position, the Chen family wouldn't have put me in their eyes at all. ”

Referring to his father, Chen Yuan finally found a breakthrough, and he suddenly raised his head: "My father doesn't dare to say that he was wronged, all the things he committed were all deserved by him, however, he is not the mastermind, Chen Zhao is!" The dead man was built by Chen Zhao, and all my father's actions were very Chen Zhao's, and Chen Zhao was the one who deserved to die. ”

He didn't know much, and he didn't get much from Chen Zhao's dealings with Chen Ke in the past.

However, from the time he took over his father's work for Chen Zhao, he was able to speak clearly.

"So, it was Chen Zhao's idea to go to Chengping Temple, and he gave it to you, right?" Qu Yanming asked.

Chen Yuan nodded.

Qu Yanming smiled: "Then so be it, tonight the matter is revealed, the prison is no longer safe, I will resettle you." ”

Gu Yu said: "It's better to settle in our Huai'an Palace." ”

"No." Qu Yanming smiled: "In the whole world, who doesn't know that there is a dungeon in your Huai'an Palace, which is dedicated to holding some disgraceful criminals?" You imprisoned people there, didn't you tell Chen Zhao, come, come and rob the prison, everyone is here with us! ”

Han Zhizhu smiled lowly.

However, Lonely Eagle and the other two couldn't laugh.

"Take them with you and come with me." Qu Yanming collected the confession, let the two draw a post, and then ordered Gu Yu and others to change the clothes of the two, and walked out of the prison openly.

He led the people all the way through the alleys and into the back door of a mansion.

"Where is this?"

Chen Yuan and Li Xi didn't understand.

Qu Yanming smiled: "You are really stupid, there is not only a prince of Huai'an in this capital, but also a person's mansion, which was also heavily guarded in the past." ”

"This is the Tai'an Palace!" The lonely bird was the first to react.

Qu Yanming snapped his fingers: "Clever!" ”

He took people into the Tai'an Palace, went straight to the koi pond in the backyard, counted the railings to the third section, he touched the carved beads, turned counterclockwise, and saw that the rockery behind the koi pond moved a position, revealing a black staircase. He led the people down and walked to the dungeon of the Tai'an Palace. When I walked to the end, I saw a row of cells, which could not compare to the meticulousness of the Huai'an Palace, but it was better than being airtight and secretive.

"If you don't want to die, live here. I promise, it's not safe anywhere in the capital except here. Qu Yanming said.

Chen Yuan and Li Xiju both nodded.

They are not surprised by this.

Qu Yanming glanced back at Chen Yuan again: "If you want to die, there are knives and torture instruments there, and no one will stop you." But you have to understand that when you die, who is covering it up, is it right to hold your father and your conscience. ”

He took the others away, leaving Chen Yuan with a stunned face.

The dungeon was all open, and they could stay wherever they wanted. Li Xi didn't want to say more to him, so he chose a bright room to lie down, and Chen Yuan stood in the open space for a while, and also chose a place to sit down.

He crossed his legs and thought, thinking of his father's suicide in the prison, his chest was full of hatred for a while, but he thought of his mother's crying every night, and remembered that once the Chen family was defeated, they would have absolutely no reason to survive, so he felt that all thoughts were lost. But if you die now, can you stop what is going to happen next?

No, he doesn't want to!

He has to live, he has confessed in full, and if he is meritorious, he may not die. As long as he doesn't die, he can at least protect his mother, even if he is in exile, he can't let his mother die without one.

In the night, Chen Yuan's mind fluctuated, and he really didn't seek death.

Qu Yanming left the Tai'an Palace, and said goodbye to Gu Hu and others, his identity should not be exposed, Gu Hu went back to his life first, and Qu Yanming left through the back door.

As soon as I walked a short distance, I heard the noise coming from the dark night, and the shouting and killing were extremely clear.

He stopped in amazement and glanced back, there, it seemed to be the direction of Ling Fang, right?

Gao Xingzhi, what's the matter?

Qu Yanming thought, his eyebrows furrowed, and his steps subconsciously walked in the direction of Ling Fang.

I never thought that as soon as I turned the street, a sword was across his neck: "Don't move, don't scream, otherwise don't blame me for falling off my head!" ”

The voice was very low, but he clearly heard that it was a woman's voice.

He was stunned, turned his face, the sword drew a bloody mark on his neck, and he looked at the person in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

In the night, Pei Xie Tang's face was full of blood, her hands trembled slightly, and she was still holding a person in her arms. When I looked closely, it was He Mansleeve.

"It's you!" Pei Xie Tang also recognized him, with a little surprise and vigilance: "Why are you here?" ”

"You can't run far! Pursue! ”

"Go over there!"

At the mouth of the alley on the other side, someone lit a torch and shone it over, and countless footsteps sounded, and they came in the direction of the two. Pei Xie Tang's hand holding the sword tightened suddenly, and a strong look of hatred burst out in his eyes, and He Mansleeve, who was dragging in her arms, snorted, obviously seriously injured.

"Follow me!" didn't have time to think about it, and didn't have time to speak, Qu Yanming grabbed her hand, took He Mansleeve in her arms, and took her into the courtyard next to her.

In the dead of night, there was no one in the courtyard.

Qu Yanming took away He Mansleeve, Pei Xie Tang's numb arm finally had some sense, she rubbed her arm, and followed Qu Yanming without saying a word.

He would save her, and she wasn't surprised.

Just, can they walk away?

She was not familiar with this area, but Qu Yanming was very familiar with it, and soon turned to a courtyard, he led the two of them over the wall, went straight to one of the rooms, pushed open the door of the room, and carefully put He Mansleeve on the bed. Pei Xie Tang followed him into the room, looked around, and found that this place was extremely exquisite, like the courtyard of a wealthy family. She was stunned, Qu Yanming had already fetched water and came back, and whispered: "Don't worry, this is my yard, you wash the blood on your face first." ”

He didn't ask what was going on, he put down the water, returned to the courtyard and clapped his hands, a few shadows appeared, and he whispered: "Erase all the blood stains on the way back, don't let people chase you." ”

Wealthy families, which family has so many secret guards, Pei Xie Tang was not surprised, washed his face, and immediately wrung out the handkerchief and wiped his face for He Man's sleeves.
