Chapter 121: Escorted back to Beijing
"The prince of Hongguo has been caught? When did it happen? Jiang Sun Che's wine woke up at once.
"Just today." Qi dexterously put the candied fruit back on the table.
"Tell me everything you know." Jiang Sunche followed her and asked.
"I only know that after Qin Lu and Zhan Yuying left Tai'an on the second day of the fourth lunar month, they inspected corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various towns in the territory, but this morning they suddenly sent someone back to Tai'an, saying that they had found traces of the prince of Hongguo.
Immediately after, less than two hours later, another guard also came back to report that he had captured the prince and was escorting him to Tai'an City. Qi Lingqiao told Jiang Sun Che the news she had just gotten today.
Hearing this, Jiang Sun Che was stunned, 'I guessed wrong? Is there really such a dead prince? ’
Jiang Sun Che got news from Qi Lingqiao that day that Ziluan's three sons were all dead, so he guessed that the prince of Hongguo who assassinated Ming Ze was made up by Wang Yingguang, a restless scholar, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.
"Are you sure it's Ziluan's son?" Jiang Sun Che raised his head and asked Qi Lingqiao.
Qi Lingqiao shook his head, "I'm not sure, I just listened to the guard who reported that the prince who caught him had his entire face burned, and he didn't look like a person." ”
"Burned? Is it Ziluan's third prince? Jiang Sunche remembered the three princes who were pulled by Queen Ziluan and self-immolated and martyred together.
"Maybe, who knows." Qi Lingqiao said uncertainly.
"But you told me that Ziluan's queen took the three princes and the harem concubines to self-immolate, and when they self-immolated, the entire country of Hongguo was surrounded by the rebels, and there was no chance to escape, you lied to me?" Jiang Sun Che narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Lingdexter.
"Who lied to you, that's what I saw on the intelligence, who knows if there is any water, I was only three years old when they set themselves on fire, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Qi Lingqiao saw Jiang Sunche questioning her, and said unhappily that her big mouth couldn't stand the news that others questioned her.
"Since this prince was burned, it should be the third prince, but how did he survive?" Jiang Sun Che ignored Qi Lingqiao's dissatisfaction and lowered his head in thought.
"It's useless for you to break your head here, since you have already caught this third prince, then let him say no himself." Qi Lingqiao complained.
Jiang Sun Che patted his head, "Yes, I'm thinking about a fart here, anyway, this guy has also been caught, just let him say it himself." ’
"Want to know the follow-up?" Qi Lingdexterity smiled and ran to Jiang Sun Che's side and asked.
Jiang Sunche glanced at her, "You want to say, you can help me investigate, but I'm going to tell you about the Red Mansion, right?" ”
"That's smart."
"Okay, let's exchange the news when the time comes." Jiang Sun Che agreed.
"Then let's talk about it, sister, let's go back." Qi Lingqiao pulled Tao Youqin and left.
From beginning to end, Tao Youqin didn't ask Jiang Sunche what he wanted to know about this prince, because she felt that if her husband wanted to tell her, he would naturally tell her, and if she didn't want to say it, she wouldn't take the initiative to make trouble for Jiang Sunche.
Jiang Sun Che was lying on the bed, thinking about the matter of this prince.
'This prince really exists, and he is really so brain-dead, he sent two foolish subordinates, and before he made trouble, he shouted some slogans to expose the existence of this prince......
Jiang Sun Che really didn't know what to say, but if he had the chance, he would definitely ask this third prince a question, that is, 'How did you hide this brain for so many years?' ’
When the Five Nations were at war, you didn't come out, and you could be explained by your young age and not enough to succeed, but now that the Five Kingdoms have been peaceful for two years, and the internal affairs are basically about to be perfected, jumping out at this time, isn't this a target for the Five Nations. ’
Jiang Sun Che really couldn't figure out whether this third prince was really stupid or had some calculations, and he couldn't figure it out.
Maybe it was because he drank too much wine, and drowsiness slowly hit, and Jiang Sunche fell asleep unconsciously.
……
When it is ugly, black clouds press the moon, and the whole world is shrouded in darkness.
The city guards guarding the Tai'an city wall suddenly saw more than a dozen fires flickering a few miles away.
The city guards immediately stood on guard, beat the big drums, and gathered the city guards, but in a moment, the city walls of Tai'an City were full of city guards, and they all grabbed their weapons in their hands, and watched the fire in the distance vigilantly.
When the flames approached a mile from Tai'an City, several city guards bent their bows and arrows and threw out more than a dozen rockets to warn.
"Stop coming!"
The dozen or so fires really stopped, and under the firelight, one of them took two steps forward and said loudly to the city gate, "I am Captain Yulin, Li Jin!" On the orders of Zhan Yuying, the commander of the Yulin Army, escort the prisoners back to Beijing! ”
Hearing this, a junior colonel in the city guard stood up, "Send the waist card and the order!" ”
"Yes!"
Li Jin left his men where they were, and his only son rode to the city wall.
The bows and arrows of the city guards have been tightly locked on him, but Li Jin is not the slightest nervous, and indifferently puts his identity waist card and the order given to him by the war feather eagle into the bamboo basket that the city guards put down from the city wall.
The guards pulled the basket up, and the colonel checked the waist card, but did not check the order, because it was not something he could read.
After confirming that it was Yulin Jun's waist card, the little colonel's tone slowed down a little, and he said to Li Jinlang under the city, "Please wait for a while, I'll go and ask the captain!" ”
Li Jin has no opinion, this is a normal procedure, no one can be an exception, all the cities in Bei'an, every day, that is, at seven o'clock in the evening, the city gate is closed, and the next day, the city gate is opened at three o'clock in the morning, this rule must be strictly observed, unless there is a major event, otherwise no one can break this rule.
It didn't take long for the captain of the city gate to come back with the order of the war feather eagle, he had already read the order above, and knew who Li Jin was escorting, so he didn't stop too much, ordered the city gate to be opened, and took hundreds of city guards to guard the door, making sure that Li Jin and the others would not be fake.
waited until he was sure that Li Jin and the others in front of him were not fakes, and the captain of the city gate let them go, "Due to the limitations of his duties, he is offended." ”
"It's okay, that's right, Captain, I have to escort this thief to the cliff prison first, so I won't talk to you anymore, and I will say goodbye." Li Jin saluted, and then led his men down to the cliff prison.
When Li Jin and the others walked away, the little colonel who started came to the side of the captain of the city gate, "Lord Captain, who is the adult escorting?" I actually rushed overnight. ”
"Is this what you can ask?" The captain of the city gate said to the little colonel with a cold face.
"I have overstepped my humble duties, please forgive me!" The little colonel hurriedly bowed his head and asked guilty, he just asked out of habit, usually he had a very good relationship with the captain of the city gate, so he asked casually just now.
"It's a big deal, you don't know it's a good thing for you, okay, go back to the night." The captain of the city gate patted the little colonel on the shoulder and dismissed him.
"Thank you, sir, for retiring from your duties." The Colonel bowed his head and left.
Waiting for the little colonel to leave, the captain of the city gate looked at the direction of Li Jin's departure, and muttered in his heart, 'The prince of Hongguo is still alive......
