Chapter 123: Surrender of military power

The emperor left the palace this time to persuade Cang Junming to come.

In addition, the prison is not far away, so there are not many people he brings.

But the man who came was afraid that he had an army, and if someone rebelled at this time, he would surely die!

Just when everyone was nervous, they saw the leader stand up.

That person turned out to be Bai Jiang'an and Bai Hexuan!

"How could it be you!" The emperor's face sank instantly, and he was nervous to death at this time, but he had to force his composure.

Although the Bai family has been loyal and good for generations, they have also made great contributions to the Great Liang.

But they have the power to fight, if they really have the intention of rebellion, now he has no choice!

The emperor's face was tense, and he pretended to be calm and said, "What are you going to do, two Aiqing!" ”

"The emperor forgives his sins!" Bai Jiang'an and Bai Hexuan saluted in unison, "I heard that there was a fire in the prison where Qingqing is located, and there is not enough firefighting manpower!" Therefore, the minister had no choice but to send troops to the rescue! After the minister extinguishes the fire, he will ask for punishment! ”

With that, Bai Jiangan hurriedly commanded his subordinates to put out the fire.

Although the emperor still had a cold face, he was really relieved at this time.

Fortunately, it was only for the firefighting, not a rebellion!

But when he saw the raging fire, the breath that had not yet been relieved was instantly lifted again.

In terms of Gu Jiuqing's importance to the Bai family's father and son, I am afraid that after her body is moved out of this fire scene, it will be difficult for the Bai family's father and son to calm down!

After all, they are in power, and if they are seriously investigated, he must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!

With the army brought by the Bai family's father and son, the fire was naturally quickly extinguished.

Cang Junming and the Bai family's father and son rushed in quickly, and it was pitch black inside, and there were ruins everywhere.

As far as the eye could see, in every cell, there was almost a corpse curled up with an unrecognizable prototype.

That terrible appearance makes people tremble inexplicably.

The fire has been burning for so long, there is simply no way that there is half a living creature in it!

Everyone looked at these miserable corpses, and their faces were very ugly.

Being burned alive is an extremely miserable way to die.

On many of the walls inside, there were black claw marks.

That's when they were in great pain, and they scratched it out with their fingers.

After only one glance, Cang Junming withdrew his gaze.

He closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to look any further.

Several people soon arrived at the cell where Gu Jiuqing was, and before they could get close, they smelled the smell of burnt meat coming from inside.

And inside, too, lay a charred and blackened petite corpse with almost a little human form left.

The corpse was burned by the fire, and it was completely impossible to see what it was in its original form.

Cang Junming suddenly felt dizzy, his body shook, and he subconsciously held on to the wall on the side.

However, as soon as he touched the blackened wall, he felt a tingling sensation in his hand.

But the temperature above has not yet receded, and his palms have been burned out of a few bubbles.

Others didn't care about him at all, Bai Jiang'an and Bai Hexuan had solemn faces at this time, their eyes were scarlet, and their expressions were even more grief-stricken.

"Qingqing, don't be afraid!" Bai Jiangan choked up and said, "Uncle...... Uncle is here to take you home......"

As he spoke, he leaned over and picked up the charred corpse.

I've seen it before, such a bright and lively girl, such a living person, but now it has become such a little bit.

"Qingqing...... Why are you so light! Bai Jiangan choked up and said, "Just like when I was a child, my uncle can hold it with one hand." ”

When the other people at the scene saw this, they couldn't bear to look away.

This scene is too painful.

The group walked out with heavy steps, and Cang Junming staggered out like a walking corpse.

Walking outside, the emperor's expression was still very ugly.

"This ...... Love Qing Day mourns. The emperor sighed and said, "Although Gu Jiuqing is suspected of murdering the Queen Mother, fortunately, the Queen Mother is no longer in trouble." Now that she has already surrendered to the law, let's stop this matter! ”

Hearing this, the Bai family's father and son knelt on the ground in unison.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for her to murder the Queen Mother!" Bai Jiang said righteously, "Even if Qingqing is dead, the minister hopes that the emperor can return her innocence!" The minister can't let her leave with grievances so unexplained! She's going to be in a bad mood! ”

"Who is the mastermind behind this matter, and why is it aimed at Qingqing! Who set this fire? The minister must personally check it clearly! Please ask the emperor to agree! Bai Hexuan also looked like he was going home.

When the emperor heard this, he said coldly: "This matter will be handed over to the criminal department for review, Aiqing can rest assured!" ”

"Your Majesty, please allow your ministers to investigate in person!" Bai Hexuan still looked resolute, "The minister must pay off justice in person!" ”

"Bai Aiqing! Don't go too far! Tonight, it is already a felony for you to lead troops to break into the prison without an edict! For the sake of saving people's hearts, I don't want to pursue it, but you don't want to get an inch! The emperor said coldly.

He thought about punishing them, but he was afraid of being criticized.

After all, now the father and son of the Bai family have just made great achievements, and they are in the limelight!

Even if you want to clean up, you have to slow down!

"The minister is willing to surrender the military power! I only hope that the emperor, you can give the father and son a chance, pay off a clean house, and give Jiang Ying an explanation! Bai Jiang'an said with a straight face, "Otherwise, I am afraid that after a hundred years, I will not have the face to see Jiang Ying!" I'm sorry for her! Sorry Qingqing! ”

The temptation to take back the military power is really too great.

When the emperor ascended, he was moved, after all, this was handed over by them personally, but he didn't insist on coming back.

Thinking of this, he prevaricated on the surface, and finally pretended to be reluctant to agree to the request of the Bai family's father and son.

"Well, go check it out! King Jin, you come to help! Once the relevant personnel of this matter are identified, they must not be tolerated! "The emperor is very satisfied with this result, and he is in a good mood.

Then he went back to the palace.

At this time, Bai Hexuan said coldly: "Dad, look! Qingqing didn't die of fire at all! She was killed a long time ago! You see, she showed no signs of struggle, unlike everyone else in the prison who died! I'm afraid that someone will deliberately set this fire in order to cover up his crime! ”

After Bai Hexuan's prompt, others naturally discovered the strangeness of the corpse.

That's right, this corpse is so straight that it doesn't look like the other corpses are struggling.

The corpses of those who died in the flames were mostly twisted and their expressions were hideous and terrifying because of the painful struggle.

But Gu Jiuqing didn't have these characteristics at all!

That must mean that she was gone long before the fire burned.

Thinking of this, several people's faces were extremely ugly.

Especially when they faced Cang Junming, they were even more angry.

"King Jin, Xia Guan thinks that Qingqing doesn't want to see you!" Bai Jiang'an said coldly, "King Jin still doesn't want to disturb her sleep!" ”

"General White! Gu Jiuqing is the wife of this king! Cang Junming said coldly, "This king wants to take her back to deal with the aftermath!" ”

"When the prince spoiled his concubine and killed his wife and hurt her, why didn't he say that she was your wife! Now that she's gone, why don't you let her go! Bai Hexuan was filled with grief and indignation, and he was about to meet him in battle.

Fortunately, Bai Jiang'an was still sensible and dissuaded Bai Hexuan in time.

"Qingqing's aftermath, let's wait for the lower officials to investigate clearly! Please also ask the prince to do it himself! Bai Jiang'an said coldly,

"Our Bai family has been loyal for generations, and we are willing to die on the battlefield to protect the beam. And now, there is no one behind us who wants to protect. If the prince insists on entanglement, the lower officials don't know what they will do! Leave! ”

After speaking, the Bai family left, leaving Cang Junming stunned in place, facing this piece of broken wall, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

At this time, in a room somewhere, a person opened his eyes.
