Chapter 243: Liu Yuan's Envoy Was Raided (Second Watch)

Father-in-law Lin agreed and withdrew.

Wang Guifei suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Han Youning, "Envoy Liu is the son of the Wen family and the slave's daughter, you don't want to borrow the hand of this palace to get rid of him, right?"

Han Youning smiled, he was not the only one who wanted to get rid of him.

"My father is a military general, so why bother to make such a big turn if he wants to kill an envoy of the Liu Academy? One accident is enough."

Wang Guifei bowed, "Well, your father's temperament is capable of doing such a thing. I can't say that it will be more ruthless, and even his family members will be killed."

Han Youning said secretly, not to mention these, my father clearly wanted to kill all the people who had anything to do with Yongping Hou and Wen Ruchun.

If it weren't for her and her brother's persuasion, my father would have become a demon.

After waiting for almost two quarters of an hour, Gonggong Lin came back.

But the envoy did not follow.

Wang Guifei frowned, "What about the envoy of the Liu Academy?"

Gonggong Lin bowed his waist and said, "Yu Niangniang, the Tai Hospital said that Liu Yuan didn't enter the palace today, but I don't know why. Later, when I met King Chengjun, he said that Liu's house was raided early this morning, and Liu's envoys were all arrested and put in the prison of Dali Temple, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who personally brought people to the palace to take it."

Wang Guifei sat up straight, "Prince? Why did he arrest the envoy of the Liu Academy?"

"The prince said that Wen Ruchun was retired back to the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Steward Lu is a servant of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and Liu Yuan Envoy is their son, no matter how you count it, you should be a member of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. Then we should be convicted of the crime together with the rest of the family."

Wang Guifei glanced at Han Youning.

If the prince's move was not for Han Youning, she wouldn't believe it.

Liu Yuan's envoy hid in the palace for the past few days, for fear of being assassinated by Dingguo Gong. Until the chief eunuch Wu Jian scolded him for breaking the rules by staying in the palace every day and drove him out of the palace, he went out of the palace last night and went back.

The prince saw that there was no way to get past the emperor with people in the palace, so he waited for him to leave the palace before he started, right?

Wang Guifei said lightly, "The crown prince is really warm-hearted, even if his reasons are sufficient, but he will directly arrest the three rank masters without asking for an order, and he is not afraid of the emperor's blame."

Gonggong Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said cautiously, "The emperor heard about this in the early dynasty, Long Yan was furious, and sent King Chengjun to Dali Temple to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace. As soon as he was about to leave the palace, he let the minions meet ......."

"Who did the emperor listen to?"

"Hui Niangniang, it's General Cen."

General Cen, the elder brother of Concubine De, guards Liaodong. The third prince, Zhao Yin, joined the army, that is, he went to Liaodong and followed his uncle to fight.

Wang Guifei sneered, "It's really him! If it weren't for him, Bengu wouldn't be sure who used this incense!"

Han Youning frowned slightly.

It turned out that Zhao Chen made a move.

knew that he would make a move, so why did she bother to make this trip.

As long as Liu Yuan's envoy enters Dali Temple, even if the emperor is reluctant to give up this imperial doctor, it is not good to order people to be released again. If Concubine De wants to forcibly intervene to stop it, it will not be so easy.

Wang Guifei looked at Han Youning, "Do you know who the prince is doing this for?"

Han Youning said lightly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a superior mind, and he must have seen that the envoy of the Liu Yuan was instructed by someone to conceal the true cause of the noble concubine's illness. Your Highness is doing your filial piety and venting your anger for your mother."

Wang Guifei looked at her for a long time.

"You're smart. From a business point of view, the prince is too strong and domineering. But from the perspective of filial piety, it is understandable that the prince is so radical, and the emperor is not easy to blame him."

Han Youning lowered her eyes, "What the courtier said is the truth, and she didn't think about it."

"Hmph, sleek!"

Wang Guifei instructed Gonggong Lin, "You go and keep an eye on it, when the prince enters the palace, come back and say hello."

Father-in-law Lin promised to step back.

--

Dali Temple dungeon.

Interrogation room.

Liu Yuan's envoy was hung on the torture frame, barely touching the ground on tiptoe, the official robe on his body was already ragged, and the snow-white middle coat was stained with blood.

The pitch-black whip slammed into him with a sharp cracking sound

On the body, the whip saw blood.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life......"

"Spare ......"

The envoy of Liu Yuan screamed miserably, begging for mercy, and the screams resounded throughout the dark dungeon, which was extremely terrifying.

In the cell not far away are the family members of the envoy of the Liu Yuan, who have several wives and concubines, and children.

They cried out in horror.

For days on end, they lived in fear. The scandal of Wen Ruchun in the capital is spreading, and every day outside their house are indignant ordinary people, blocking the door, throwing rotten eggs into it, splashing dog blood, and even throwing filth things, dead cats and dead dogs.

A few days ago, the eldest lady Lan'er fell asleep in the room and disappeared, and they searched everywhere they could, but they couldn't find it.

Some people speculated that the evil spirits had taken the people away.

Several children have nightmares every day, frightened, for fear that they will also be captured by ghosts.

The old man went back to the house last night and comforted them not to be afraid, and after a while, the rumors slowly got better. But as soon as I woke up, my house was raided!

Zhao Chen's face was ruthless, as if he hadn't heard his plea for mercy, he pursed his thin lips, and the whip in his hand was full of thunderous anger, swaying salt water and blood, and whipped down again and again.

The dim candlelight flickered, shining on his body, and it was clearly extinguished, making his face even more terrifying, and his clothes were clear, like a messenger returning from hell.

Seeing that the shouts of the envoy Liu were getting weaker and weaker, Wang Shaoqing on the side trembled and reminded, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you continue to fight, people will be out of breath."

After finishing speaking, I felt that these words were inexplicably familiar.

To tell the truth, he himself felt that his main duty was to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to beat people to death.

Zhao Chen stopped, threw the whip to the ground, and asked lightly, "Do you know why Gu wanted to arrest you?"

Envoy Liu finally had a chance to breathe, and he regained some consciousness after a long period of relief.

He replied weakly, "Go back to Your Highness, the lower officials know. But the lower officials can't choose their own origins, mother...... Wen Ruchun did not know about the evil things that the officials had done, and they had never participated in ......."

Zhao Chen beckoned back, "Bring someone over!"

Two jailers walked in with a girl of thirteen or fourteen, dressed in shoddy coarse cloth and with strips of cloth over her eyes, crying out in terror.

Liu Yuan's envoy was shocked, "Lan'er! Why are you here?"

The girl also heard her father's voice, and her face flashed with hope, "Father, father...... Help me......"

As soon as she shouted, a cloth towel was stuffed in her mouth.

The envoy of the Liu Yuan knelt on the ground and begged, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the child doesn't know anything, please let her go!"

Zhao Chen said lightly, "You come to check her pulse and see what is wrong with her."

The jailer untied the rope from the torture frame for the envoy Liu, and the envoy fell to the ground.

Lan'er was also pushed and fell beside him.

Liu Yuan's envoy didn't know why, but he still put his trembling hand on his daughter's wrist.

After a moment, his face changed suddenly, and he raised his hand to pull the white cloth on Lan'er's eyes.
