Chapter 355: Sword in the mouth
Lin Qingwan got the letter handed over by Mrs. Zhao, read it and handed it to the four princes. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
The fourth prince doubted in his heart, "He will kill himself just because of this?" ”
"Send this longevity lock and clothes together, along with the news of the death of Zhao San, Zhao Si and Zhao Sheng," Lin Qingwan said: "Let Wang Yan ask him, you are no longer loyal and unfilial, are you still unkind and unrighteous now?" ”
The fourth prince waited for a while, and when he saw that she was speechless, he asked, "It's over?" ”
Lin Qingwan nodded, "I will have someone post an announcement near the reading building to inform the world that as long as Zhao Jie commits suicide, even if the righteousness of the monarch and the minister is fulfilled, His Majesty will exempt the Zhao family's female dependents and underage men from the death penalty." ”
The fourth prince thinks that this thing is most likely to be successful, Zhao Jie is treasonous, and he still cares about these people of the Zhao family?
He is only in his early forties now, although he is middle-aged, but if he works hard, he may be able to have a son, and he doesn't need to be afraid of the Zhao family, right?
But think about what Lin Qingwan said is not bad, everyone is happy, if it doesn't work, the situation will not be worse than now.
"I'm going to have someone send the letter quickly."
Lin Qingwan said in a low voice: "And Zhao Sheng......"
"I'll have people arrest them." As for "Zhao Sheng's corpse", it will be sent to the Assassin's Mansion tomorrow.
Zhao's family was detained in prison, all the family property was confiscated, Lin Qingwan did not wait for the tea house to be auctioned, leaving the stunned to wait here and Shi Shiran returned to Suzhou.
The fourth prince said with a clear face: "I just said that she didn't come to the tea house." ”
"Your Highness is wise!"
"You don't need to pat yourself on the back, hurry up and keep an eye on Jiangling, and tell Gu as soon as there is news."
When Lin Qingwan returned to Suzhou leisurely, the situation had stabilized, and she no longer restrained Lin Yubin and let her go to school.
But Shang Danzhu and Shang Danju are still under house arrest in the mansion, she is not interesting to go to school, and other classmates are also worried, and they have inquired about the news with Lin Yubin, "We heard from the elders in the family that how the Shang family will have to see how the four princes report in the future, and the county lord and the four princes are not good friends, but what news is there?" ”
Lin Yubin has already gotten the exact news, but it is not easy to tell them clearly, after all, the matter has not been settled, and he has to keep a low profile, otherwise it will not be good to be targeted.
So she suppressed the urge to talk in her heart, shook her head and said, "My aunt won't let me care about these things." ”
"What have the four highnesses been doing lately?"
"I don't even know," Lin Yubin said: "He lives in the guest house, and I am in the backyard, so I don't see each other on weekdays." ”
Everyone was a little disappointed, since the four princes came back from Jiangdu, in addition to the Assassin Mansion was to go to the Reading Building, more often they stayed in the Lin family's courtyard, and the various banquets held by the Suzhou clan could not invite anyone.
The little girls are not stupid, and the adults in the family say that most of the world in this big beam will be the four princes in the future, and the four princes now only have one concubine.
People like Cui Rong, Lu Si and Zhou Shuya naturally don't think about what they have with the Four Princes, they are just just curious, but others are different.
If they can be the side concubines of the crown prince, it will be much better than their own marriage.
Therefore, although the school is worried because of Shang Danzhu and Shang Danju, there is another vitality.
Lin Yubin keenly felt that she was particularly popular recently, but she didn't want to go to the academy anymore.
Lin Qingwan and the fourth prince didn't notice the little girl's emotions, and the two of them were waiting for news from Jiangling.
And on the Jiangling side, Wang Yan, who received a large package, became brighter and brighter after being surprised, and finally slapped his thigh, and did not wait much, changed into beautiful clothes and went to General Lu Xiao with his baggage.
General Lu Xiao glared in surprise and said, "Send troops to protect you?" What are you doing? ”
Wang Yan shook his burden and said, "Of course it's murder!" ”
"Kill whom?"
"Zhao Jie!"
General Lu Xiao sneered, and asked in a dignified manner, "What kind of kung fu did Lord Wang learn to cross the heavy defense line of the Chu State and kill Zhao Jie?" ”
Wang Yan pointed to his mouth and said: "The sword can kill, but the tongue can also kill, there was no chance before, but now the opportunity has come." ”
"What chance?"
Wang Yan waved his hand in disgust: "I don't understand after telling you, it's still Lord Lin as my confidant, you hurry up and transfer troops for me, you have to let them protect me these days, in case someone releases cold arrows from the Chu State to kill me." ”
"They dare!" General Lu Xiao glared, "Could it be that the State of Chu really wants to start a war with our Great Liang?" ”
Wang Yan said sadly: "I am not a prince, even if I die, my Liang may not be at war with it, who knows?" What's more, it's not just the Chu people over there, don't forget, those Liao assassins don't know where to hide. ”
General Lu scolded secretly, "The Chu people are really useless, and they haven't caught the assassin until now." ”
"We don't have to worry about this, anyway, if they can't catch anyone for a day, we think it's their assassins sent by the Chu State, and it's not us who are in a hurry," Wang Yan said: "Hurry up, send me troops." ”
General Lu Xiao had no choice but to send a team of soldiers and horses to protect him, and because of curiosity, he also ran to watch.
Wang Yan carried his burden and went to the west gate of Jiangling surrounded by everyone, which was the closest to them.
Wang Yan asked the carriage to be dismantled, and now there is only a carriage board on the carriage, and a chair is placed on it, so he stands by the chair and shouts to the city gate: "Zhao Jie, you come out for me!" ”
The soldiers on the Chu side laughed out loud, staring at him vigilantly and curiously.
Because of the assassination of the fourth prince and Zhao Jie's defection to the Chu State, the current situation between the two countries is a little tense.
But no matter how tense the situation is, the soldiers on both sides also know that this battle will not be fought.
The soldiers are the most sensitive to this, seeing that although the two sides are heavily guarded, but they have never broken off the contact, at this time, although Wang Yan is surrounded by many soldiers, but the head of the gun is facing the sky, just standing around vigilantly, at a glance it is not a fan of war, so he is happy to stand on the city wall and watch.
And Chu Bingle replied ha, "Lord Wang, you can't hear General Zhao shouting like this." ”
Someone else answered: "Even if you hear it, you won't come out." ”
Some people who came in and out saw it, worried about going to war, and hurriedly went out of the city and entered the city quickly, or the people on the side of Liang State felt some of Wang Yan's temper and knew that he was good at talking, so they followed Chu Bing and asked loudly, "Lord Wang, are you going to fight?" ”
Wang Yan's words were blocked in his throat, he rolled his eyes and said: "What kind of battle is fighting, didn't you see that Lu Shilang is actively talking about peace with Prince Chu, I just have something to say to Zhao Jie, don't vomit or be unhappy, isn't this afraid that General Zhao's people will give me cold arrows so I brought a few people to give me courage?" ”
He looked at the city gate and continued to say loudly: "Zhao Jie, I know that you must know what happened here at the city gate, so I'll say it directly." ”
"It's been a while since you ran away from the country, do you want to know about your family?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quieted down, treason is a big crime for the Zhu clan!
It's just that Liang Min didn't know for a while whether to hate Zhao Jie for treason, or sympathize with the implicated Zhao family.
Wang Yan said loudly: "Let me tell you, Zhao Sheng, who collaborated with you, was killed by random arrows while on the run, and your eldest son and nephew who stayed in Lingzhou were also taken into custody, and they will be beheaded in the near future, are you still waiting for the second son and nephew Xin'er who fled to Liao?" ”
"I'll tell you, there's no need to wait, their entire caravan was copied by the Northeast Army, Zhao San and Zhao Si were shot by the Northeast Army when they fled to Liao, and now their bodies are being transported to Jiangnan, you have to see, I'll bring them!"
"Zhao Jie, because of you and your brother, the entire Zhao family will be beheaded, when you dream back at midnight, do you regret it?" Wang Yanyi shouted rhetorically: "Your Majesty treats you well, your Zhao family says that it is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but you are still a junior general under the Lin family's army, if it is not for Your Majesty's support, how can you hold the military power?" ”
"Over the years, Da Liang and His Majesty have never treated you badly, but you have betrayed the country for your own selfish interests, which is already disloyal," Zhao Jie shouted: "Putting the family in danger, causing the Zhao family to exterminate the clan, and cutting off the incense of the ancestors and ancestors of the Zhao family, you are already unfilial, you are disloyal and unfilial, do you think Emperor Chu will rest assured that you will use you?" ”
Wang Yan opened the burden, raised the longevity lock and said, "Zhao Jie, do you see that this longevity lock is familiar to you?" ”
Zhao Jie was naturally invisible, but many people looked at it with wide eyes and kept every detail in mind.
Wang Yan also stayed for a short time, snorted coldly and took his things and left.
The soldiers of the two countries looked at each other and looked at each other for a while, thinking, "So what is Lord Wang" coming here to shout for a long time?
For what?
Vice General Li didn't know, neither did Prince Chu, but General Lu Xiao, the only one who knew his purpose, was confused and didn't understand the meaning of this at all.
However, the next day, Wang Yan went with people again, still standing in the carriage, still shouting: "Zhao Jie, are you here today?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't come, I can have someone hand you something." He picked up the little dress in the bag and said, "This is your youngest son's clothes, and some of your wife's things, they are going to die, so I gave them to you, so you can keep them for a thought." ”
Wang Yan sneered: "Because you collaborated with the enemy and treason, they all want to atone for your sins, but you can live well in the Chu State, Zhao Jie, at this time, are you very proud in your heart, feel that you are subtle, and you can escape to the Chu State with your henchmen before we are arrested?" ”
"You're so capable, why don't you arrange the house as well?" Wang Yan shouted loudly: "I forgot to tell you that your second brother and daughter-in-law hate you to death, her husband and two sons died because of you, and now the youngest daughter will also be beheaded." ”
After that, Wang Yan handed over the things to a person and said in a loud voice: "Send it to Zhao Jie, let him keep it for a thought." ”
The man was about to enter the city with his baggage, of course it was impossible, but entering the city required formalities, so the man said: "Don't worry, I'll send it to General Zhao and hand it over to his henchmen, if you don't worry, you can follow." ”
