Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Way Out

At night, Jiankang City, which had been noisy for a day, tended to calm down, and only a few restaurants were still open, and diners were still sitting inside. At this time, at the door of a restaurant, two drunken men were coming out of the restaurant shoulder to shoulder, and one of the older people seemed to have not finished drinking, and his mouth was babbling.

"Let's go... Go to my house and drink again."

The guy who was holding on to the side smiled and said, "Deputy Judge Shao, the little one won't accompany you... There is still a daughter-in-law waiting at home... ”

"Hehehehehe... You kid ... Get out of here... ”

"Yes. . . Be.. Get out of here... ”

The man left behind the drunken man and left alone...

Shao Kun was already confused at this time, his steps were empty, and he thought that he would not go back to his house tonight, and he would go to his old friend instead, and when he thought of his old friend, his face was full of obscene smiles.

Shao Kun is in his early thirties, and he has already become his own son, and half a year ago, because of a case, he got acquainted with the famous tofu Shih Tzu Xu in this area. Na Xu is a widow who lost her husband at an early age, so she lives alone, selling tofu for a living. Shao Kun was in love and pity, and often gave some money and things to help the Xu family's life, and the two have been secretly corresponding.

I don't know that at this moment, Xu's home is squatting and guarding a few uninvited guests...

Xu stayed in his room, peeking at a few stunning men in his small courtyard from time to time, she was blessed to be cultivated in several lifetimes, and she could see three of the four beauties of Jiankang at the same time, and they all appeared in her own home.

Inside the house, Li Xun looked helplessly at the nymphomaniac woman, tonight, they were specially waiting for Shao Kun here. I wanted to kidnap people on the street, but now is a critical moment, in order to prevent outsiders from seeing, they have inquired about the relationship between the Xu family and Shao Kun in advance, as well as the residence.

At this time, there was silence in the small courtyard, and a faint voice came from outside, it was Shao Kun humming a minor tune all the way.

Shen Yuzhang and Su Xing had already hidden behind the doors on both sides, just waiting for the man to restrain him as soon as he entered the house.

Under the moonlight, Shao Kun was still immersed in his drunken dream, as if his feet were stepping on the clouds, and the whole person had already floated up, seeing that the door of the small courtyard was close in front of him...

At this moment, another person who had been guarding outside the small courtyard suddenly jumped out and covered Shao Kun's mouth from behind with a handkerchief...

The two people in the courtyard waited for a while, and found that something was wrong...

Shen Yuzhang listened carefully to the movement outside the door behind the door, the humming sound just now was gone, there was no movement outside the door at all, "Why is there no sound?"

Su Xing was also puzzled, "Is something wrong?" ”

The words fell, and the two hurriedly opened the door and went out to check...

Outside the small courtyard, there was only one road that had to be passed, and it was empty at this time. What the hell is going on, why is the kung fu man gone after a while.

Su Xing frowned and looked around for a while and said, "What about the six princes?" "It's gone.

Hearing him say this, Shen Yuzhang realized that he hadn't seen Xiao Nanfeng since just now, and they were all waiting for Shao Kun to come to the door intently, completely ignoring the movements of the other person who was in the courtyard at that time...

At this time, in a corner not far from the small courtyard, there were bursts of screams.

The person who drank in a daze just now was lying on the ground rolling at the moment, and the man in purple standing on the side happened to be looking at the person screaming in pain on the ground for a long time.

Just now, Shao Kun's two hands had been broken by the man in front of him.

Under the moonlight, the man's purple python robe was shining brightly, like a god descending from the sky.

Earlier, Xiao Nanfeng had already received news from inside Dali Temple that Xiao Qingyue was tortured in prison, and he couldn't help but regret it a little, he knew that he should have come to this Shao Kun first, and he would not have a chance to deal with Xiao Qingyue.

Xiao Nanfeng didn't want others to see his out-of-control appearance, so he dragged the person outside to clean up first, just now he wanted to crush this person's neck!

At this time, the person lying on the ground wailed in his mouth, "Where did the subordinates offend the prince, and the prince did his best" I am afraid that this hand will be completely abolished, which calls him how to live in the future.

There was a cold look between the man's eyebrows, "This king is reluctant to touch the person, you dare to hurt her." ”

Shao Kun reacted at this time, this person is for Xiao Qingyue! He said fearlessly, "This is all the emperor's will, and his subordinates only obey the holy will."

"Obey the will of God?" The man snorted coldly, then stepped on his wrist, and in an instant another wail sounded.

Shao Kun begged for mercy again and again, "The prince spares his life!" The prince spares his life! ”

At this time, the foot that stepped on the wrist did not let go because of the begging for mercy, but increased the force a little. The man lying on the ground was already in a cold sweat with pain, and his whole body was convulsed.

The man looked at his painful state, but he always felt that the punishment was not enough, if he was not the chief judge appointed by the emperor to preside over this case, he would definitely make him live and not die!

said coldly, "Didn't the emperor let you check where the two maids who escaped from the palace went, this king will tell you now, those two maids are in this king's mansion." On that day, it was also the king who arranged for them to leave the palace! ”

Shao Kun listened to these words with some panic, why did Xiao Nanfeng suddenly admit these things to him! At this time, the man who was still stepping on his wrist slowly squatted down, and his wrist became more and more painful with the gravity that slowed down little by little.

"Vice Judge Shao, do you want this king to send you into the palace now and explain this matter to the emperor?"

"Genus ... The subordinates don't dare! ”

When the man heard this, he instantly increased the force on his feet, "Don't you really dare?" ”

"Ahh The subordinates really don't dare! Please spare your life! Shao Kun finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed in pain.

Not far away, two other men were quietly watching all this.

Shen Yuzhang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart, these six princes are really awkward people, isn't it the same to lock people in the house and clean them up? But when this person arrived at the door, he still made such a show.

Su Xing knew this prince very well, a dignified prince, supreme and noble, how could he personally punish an official. If it weren't for the extreme hatred and anger in his heart, how could a person like him do it himself. Come to think of it, Xiao Qingyue is a very important existence in his heart.

It's just that Su Xing's current idea was overturned by him again soon after...

This night, the next day, Shao Kun took leave from Dali Temple, claiming that he was suffering from a serious illness and needed to recuperate in the house.

Xuanshi Temple

When the people of Dali Temple told Xiao Yan the news, Xiao Yan still didn't believe it for a while, until he personally sent someone to Shao Kun's house to investigate, and it was determined that Shao Kun was really seriously ill and bedridden.

Xiao Yan was a little worried, what's the matter lately, his favorite concubine was scared by the snake the day before yesterday and hasn't recovered until now, and today his minister suddenly became seriously ill, and it has been really unpeaceful recently. In this way, Xiao Qingyue's matter will not be delayed...

At this time, Sun Guihai, the eunuch who was serving on the side, saw him frowning, knowing that he was having a headache for Xiao Qingyue's affairs, and he never expected that Xiao Qingyue, who had been favored by Xiao Yan for nearly twenty years, was a person from the previous dynasty. Then he said cautiously, "Your Majesty, it's better for the sixth prince to come and discuss this matter."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan glared angrily at the person who spoke, "Sixth Prince... I had already entrusted this matter to him, and as a result... "It's really a waste of his trust to hide it and not report it.

At this time, Sun Guihai replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, the sixth prince is your brother after all, he has always been steady, and the things that the emperor has always done his best, maybe the sixth prince has his own concerns."

Sun Guihai's reasonable words made Xiao Yan fall into deep thought, he was right, no matter what, Xiao Nanfeng was his own brother. Xiao Nanfeng was not involved in government politics before, if he hadn't repeatedly asked him to come back to help, Xiao Nanfeng would not have stayed in Jiankang for a long time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan snorted heavily and said, "Go and announce that the sixth prince will enter the palace."

"Yes, the slave will do it" Sun Guihai trotted out of the Xuanshi Hall all the way, Xiao Yan had not been in the court for five or six consecutive days and had not seen anyone, but he had waited for a long time at this moment.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Nanfeng had already entered the palace, walking on the way to the Xuanshi Palace, and he was talking to the person leading the way on the side.

"Thank you this time, Eunuch"

Sun Guihai smiled humbly and replied respectfully, "Where is the prince, if it wasn't for the prince's support, how could the slave have the opportunity to accompany the king?"

"The eunuch is really too humble, everything in the eunuch today is obtained by the eunuch's own ability, and the king has not contributed much"

"The prince praised it falsely"

At that time, Sun Guihai was just a concubine in the harem, and by chance, he was bullied by several attendants in the palace and was bumped into by Xiao Nanfeng, who rarely entered the palace once, Xiao Nanfeng just saved him and reprimanded the few eunuchs who bullied him by the way. Since then, this kindness has always been remembered in Sun Guihai's heart. I didn't expect him to help Xiao Nanfeng today...

And Xiao Nanfeng had already calculated in his heart, knowing that Xiao Yan would announce that he would see him sooner or later, but this was a little faster than he expected, so it was okay to solve Xiao Qingyue's matter as soon as possible, and he would have more dreams at night as soon as possible.

After Xiao Nanfeng entered the Xuanshi Palace, Xiao Yan asked the people serving in the palace, including the Imperial Forest Army, to be sent out together.

At this time, Xiao Nanfeng suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said, "The younger brother is guilty, I hope the emperor's brother will punish him."

Xiao Yan was a little stunned for a while, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to admit his guilt, and the resentment against this imperial brother in his heart for many days disappeared instantly.

"Let's get up and talk about it"

"The younger brother has been entrusted by the emperor's brother, and I wish to kneel here to apologize"

Seeing that he was so serious, Xiao Yan finally pulled down his face and took the initiative to help the person kneeling on the ground up...

"Now tell me what sin you have committed."

Xiao Nanfeng still looked very respectful and painful, "The younger brother has already found out Qingyue's life experience, but he didn't tell the imperial brother that the younger brother deserves to die."

"If you have already found out, why have you kept concealing it?"

"No matter what kind of considerations the younger brother has, but the younger brother did not play to the imperial brother in time, it is the dereliction of duty of the younger brother" After speaking, he knelt down again, "Please also ask the imperial brother to surrender!" ”

The resentment in Xiao Yan's heart was completely gone, "Why did you kneel down again, I ordered you not to kneel again, if you and I have something to say, I will talk about it."

"Yes, thank you Brother Huang a lot"

"It seems that you have a lot of criticism on this matter, let's hear it"

At this time, Xiao Nanfeng had already stood up, paused and said, "Brother Huang, the matter of Feixia Hall is a big matter, and the younger brother has not told the truth, but he has been thinking about a solution."

"How to solve this matter, Xiao Qingyue is remnant of the previous dynasty must not stay, as for Youyu, it is natural to restore her status as a princess" I have not been waiting to see her for so many years, and I will definitely compensate for it in the future.

"Brother Huang is willing to listen to his brother"

"Tell me about it"

The man pretended to be thoughtful and said slowly, "Has the imperial brother ever thought about what the consequences would be if this matter was announced to the court?"

Xiao Yan also thought deeply for a while when he heard this, "How can you say this?" ”

At this time, the man raised his eyes and looked at the man with a somewhat pale face, "Brother Huang, there are many old ministers of the previous dynasty in the court, if the imperial brother openly disposes of the princess of the previous dynasty like this, it will inevitably cause criticism."

Xiao Yan fell into deep thought for a moment when he heard this, and only listened to the person next to him continue.

"Now that Xiao Qingyue is on death row, all the ministers are speculating about what happened, presumably the imperial brother doesn't want to announce the events of that year to the world."

Everything back then is now humiliating and even more shameful in Xiao Yan's view, he is a genius, how can he let others talk nonsense behind his back. After thinking about it, he felt that what Xiao Nanfeng said made sense.

"Even if it can't be announced to the court, Xiao Qingyue can't stay alive!"

Xiao Nanfeng knew that his words had already played a role, so he said slowly, "The younger brother knows that the imperial brother is angry, but now that there are so many pairs of eyes in the court, the imperial brother can't suddenly dispose of Xiao Qingyue."

Xiao Yan frowned and said angrily, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you want me to let her go?"

"Brother Huang is angry, what doesn't matter if she is killed, the truth of this matter can be found out by Brother Huang, and the brother can find out, won't others find out?"

This sentence instantly hit Xiao Yan's heart again, if others find out that Xiao Qingyue is the identity of the princess of the previous dynasty, it will inevitably give some people with unscrupulous intentions a chance to take advantage of it. After thinking for a while, he felt that Xiao Nanfeng's words were very reasonable, and it seemed that he had misunderstood him before.

Then the tone softened a lot, "Sixth brother, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, I blamed you before."

"Brother Huang is serious, as long as Brother Huang knows the sincerity of his brother, he will have no regrets even if he dies."

"Huh? What is immortal, in your eyes, am I a faint king?"

"It's the younger brother who lost his words"

"In your opinion, how should this situation end now?"

As soon as these words came out, a glimmer of light quickly flashed in the man's eyes, so fast that it was unpredictable.

"The younger brother has a way"

"What a way, say it quickly"

At this time, the man said calmly, "Some time ago, the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty came to visit, didn't they intend to make peace with my Daliang?"

Xiao Yan's face turned pale, waiting for him to continue...

Then the man slowly continued, "Why don't you push the boat down the river and marry Xiao Qingyue to the Northern Zhou, so that you can not only establish an alliance with the Northern Zhou, but also solve a big problem at the moment."

This is the retreat that Xiao Nanfeng thought of for Xiao Qingyue, married to the Northern Zhou, and stayed away from Jiankang from then on...

It's just that if Xiao Qingyue knew that this proposal was made by Xiao Nanfeng, how would she react...
