Chapter 117: Fidgeting
This matter was deliberately done by someone, and it finally reached Jingming's ears.
"What? Is there such a thing? Jing Zhao is afraid that his wings are stiff!" Emperor Jingming was furious when he learned about it.
"Go, you hurry up and find Prime Minister Lin, I have colluded with him in private, if there is any accident, let him save me." Knowing that his affairs were about to be exposed, Jing Zhao could only hurry up to find someone to save himself, Prime Minister Lin Cheng is the queen's family, and he can have the right to speak, hoping to help him when the time comes.
When Chu Wei received the news, she was very scared, how could this matter be known by others?
"Dad, what can I do?" Chu Wei found Chu Lie and wanted Chu Lie to find a way to get Jing Zhao.
"How do I know, it's all because he is not thoughtful, this is good, the emperor must know, we can't move, otherwise we will be involved." Chu Lie was timid and afraid, so he quickly cleared up the relationship.
Chu Wei was also scared and didn't dare to say anything more.
Jing Zhao was indeed restless in the mansion.
"There is indeed such a thing, and it is not filial piety to the son of Jing Zhao." Jing Zhao was at a loss, and after hearing the news, he sat on the ground in fright, and soon the palace guards arrived at Jing Yuan's mansion.
"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said that Jingzhao, an unfilial son, intended to rebel, and was imprisoned after being demoted." After the reading, the guards were ready to move.
"Stop!" Fortunately, at this time, Prime Minister Lin Cheng came forward to stop him. Jing Zhao hurriedly climbed behind Prime Minister Lin.
"Jing Zhao doesn't have a rebellious heart, it's all rumors and framed." Prime Minister Lin Cheng wants to uphold justice for Jing Zhao.
When the guards saw Prime Minister Lin coming forward, they didn't dare to step forward again, so the guards had to hurry back to the palace and report Jingming.
"Prime Minister Lin Cheng came forward to clarify for Jing Zhao, and his subordinates didn't dare to step forward again." Jing Ming was furious when he heard this.
"This is a rebellion! Is the queen also making trouble behind her back, it's really presumptuous, go, no matter who it is, you must arrest Jing Zhao for me, and if there is a disobedient, I will be executed! Also, put the queen under house arrest." Within a day, Jing Ming was furious, which plunged the entire capital into chaos, whether it was ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they were all panicked, and some people were even ready to go back.
Because there is indeed some evidence, specifying Jing Zhao's suspicion, indeed bribing officials, and acting abnormally, now Jing Ming will not trust anyone anymore.
And because of Prime Minister Lin Cheng's appearance, the queen was put under house arrest, which attracted the dissatisfaction of many people.
Xiao Tan was also shocked when he heard that Jing Ming had decided to execute Jing Zhao, he didn't expect that Jing Ming, as his father, would want to execute his son.
After all, tiger venom doesn't eat children, Jing Ming actually made the decision to kill Jing Zhao.
Xiao Tan hurriedly told Jing Yuan about this and asked Jing Yuan to come back to discuss the matter.
And the Chu Mansion, after learning that Jing Ming was going to kill Jing Zhao, also panicked.
They had already decided to support Jing Zhao, but they didn't expect that before Jing Zhao could do anything, they would be executed by Jing Ming.
Chu Lie sat slumped on the chair in the study, and the enthusiasm of his colleagues in the room was all beaten by frost, rain and snow, and his head hung down, not knowing what to say.
Chu Wei fainted in shock because of the news that Jing Zhao was going to be killed, and then fell seriously ill, lying on the bed with a pale face, with no strength to breathe.
When Xiao Tan's news reached Jing Yuan's hands, it was already a day later.
Jing Yuan looked at the letter paper in his hand with a solemn expression.
Chu Xia was by Jing Yuan's side at the time, and when he saw that Jing Yuan's face was wrong, he hurriedly asked, "Jing Yuan, what's wrong?" I don't think your face is very good."
Jing Yuan raised his head, stuffed the paper in his hand into Chu Xia's hand, and said, "The news from Xiao Tan said that Jing Zhao was going to be executed."
"What?" Chu Xia was taken aback, looked down at the note, and sure enough, she looked up at Jing Yuan, and asked incomprehensibly, "How could Jing Ming suddenly want Jing Zhao, isn't Jing Zhao the most favored one of all his sons?"
"I don't know what this is going on right now, but to figure out what it's all about,
It's time to go back. Moreover, if Jing Zhao is really sentenced to death, it will inevitably chill many people's hearts, and it will also be an excellent opportunity to resist, and we can't stay here any longer." Jing Yuan said.
Chu Xia nodded, "I think so too, let's get out of here now."
"Hmm." After Jing Yuan answered softly, he went with Chu Xia to find the village chief and the blind guy.
They couldn't leave without a squeak, after all, they had lived here for a while, and the village chief and the blind guy had given them a lot of help.
The blind guy was resting in his own home, Chu Xia and Jing Yuan knocked on the door and went in.
The blind man sat up when he heard the voice, watched Chu Xia and Jing Yuan walk in side by side, and said to them, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xia glanced at Jing Yuan, and Jing Yuan said to the blind guy, "Chu Xia and I are leaving here."
The blind guy was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "Okay, when are you leaving?"
"I'll leave right away." Jing Yuan replied. The blind guy didn't expect Jing Yuan and Chu Xia to be so anxious, and they were about to leave after saying goodbye to him.
He was just stunned for a moment, and then said to Jing Yuan and Chu Xia, "It seems that there should be something important, which is why he left in such a hurry."
Jing Yuan nodded, "There are indeed very important matters, and when things are done, Chu Xia and I will come back."
"Did you say goodbye to the village chief?" The blind guy asked.
"Not yet." Jing Yuan replied.
After hearing this, the corners of the blind man's mouth hooked slightly, and he said to Jing Yuan with satisfaction: "You are very good, it seems that I am more important than the village chief in your heart."
Jing Yuan didn't explain, in fact, he came to the blind guy first, but it was because the blind guy was closer to his residence.
After leaving the blind man's house, Chu Xia and Jing Yuan went to the village chief.
The village chief was light compared to the blind guy, but he showed his strong reluctance to Chu Xia and Jing Yuan, he reluctantly sent Chu Xia and Jing Yuan out, and said to the two of them, "If the matter is dealt with, you must come back to see me."
The village chief is already a little old now, and during the period of time he has been with Jingyuan Chuxia, he has regarded the two of them as his family, and now that his son and daughter-in-law are leaving, he can't bear the two of them.
Chu Xia and Jing Yuan were also reluctant to be the village chief, the identities of the two of them showed that they had no way to have ordinary feelings, but the warmth of the village chief made them feel their father's love, which made Chu Xia and Jing Yuan have some dependence on the village chief in their hearts.
The two of them didn't tell the other villagers about their departure, because they didn't want the whole village to come out to see them off, because they would be even more reluctant to be here.
Except for the village chief and the blind man, no one else knew that the two of them had left Jingsheng Village.
However, not long after they left, all the people in the village chased them out.
"Jing Yuan! Chu Xia!" The villagers followed behind Jing Yuan and Chu Xia, walking briskly towards them, while shouting their names loudly.
Chu Xia and Jing Yuan heard the shouts of the villagers, so they turned to look at them, I don't know what the reason was, they all knew the news that Chu Xia and Jing Yuan were leaving.
Chu Xia's sharp eyes saw the village chief behind the villagers, and he sighed and said to Jing Yuan, "It seems that we were betrayed by the village chief."
Jing Yuan also saw the village chief behind the villagers, so he shook his head and said helplessly, "Let's go over and have a look."
Then the two men followed the villagers and walked over.
Seeing two people walking towards them, the village chief also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he walked in front of the villagers and said to Chu Xia and Jing Yuan, "It was the villagers who saw you enter my room, and then happened to hear it, and they came here, not what I told them."
Jing Yuan and Chu Xia just glanced at him, and then didn't say anything. The village chief knew that it was the hope of the two of them to leave quietly, but now
Hope was shattered, and the two of them must have had a lot of unhappiness in their hearts.
The village chief smiled at the two of them and said, "You two don't need to be like this, everyone has been together for so long, and when they heard that you were leaving, they were all reluctant, so they wanted to come to you."
"We just don't want them to let us go, that's why we don't want to alarm anyone to leave." Chu Xia explained.
She and Jing Yuan didn't have any expression on their faces, not because they didn't want the villagers to come and see them off, but because they didn't want the villagers to know that they were in a bad mood after leaving.
After hearing Chu Xia's explanation, the village chief immediately understood what Chu Xia meant, he nodded, and said, "The reason why I came with them is mainly because I also agree with their proposal just now, and I hope you will leave here again tomorrow."
The village chief glanced at Chu Xia and Jing Yuan, and saw that neither of them spoke, so he continued: "It's not early now, I know you are in a hurry to rush back, but if you rush overnight at night, you will not be able to bear it during the day tomorrow, and you will go back during the day tomorrow, don't leave tonight, stay and leave tomorrow."
The village chief's hands were folded, looking a little embarrassed, but his expression and tone were particularly sincere, he looked at Chu Xia and Jing Yuan, and then said, "We have specially prepared a farewell party for you, which will be held tonight, you can stay with us."
Chu Xia and Jing Yuan glanced at each other, Jing Yuan originally wanted to refuse, but at this time, the blind guy came, the blind guy walked in front of Jing Yuan and Chu Xia, and said to the two of them: "You two don't hesitate anymore, I also think what the village chief said is quite good, anyway, I will return to the capital tomorrow during the day, stay here tonight, don't live up to the kindness of the villagers."
