"Lord Qi praised it falsely!" Liu Zhongqing smiled humbly, but there was a bit of smugness between his eyebrows, obviously enjoying this compliment.

Seeing this, Qi Ming wanted to strike while the iron was hot, "And in the final analysis, it's not that he is too ambitious and wants to fight for that position." If he is obediently his prince, where does he need to suffer so many sins? ”

Liu Zhongqing nodded with satisfaction, this Qi Ming is knowledgeable about current affairs.

If Li Yunxing hadn't wanted to go against him, Liu Zhongqing wouldn't have repeatedly caused trouble for him.

"Don't spread the word about today's matter, this official will start the trial of Qianyue Mountain tomorrow, and he will definitely give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a satisfactory answer."

Liu Zhongqing raised his eyebrows and commanded coldly.

Qi Ming immediately stood upright and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan will never leak half a word of the news." ”

"Hmm."

After Qi Ming left, Liu Zhongqing looked down at the secret letter, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it depends on whether you have the life to come back alive."

He folded the letter and put it back in his arms.

The next day, early in the morning.

Qian Yueshan was locked up overnight in the Tingwei Mansion, there was not even a drop of water in the cell, he walked in the sun and rain in the prison car for several days, but he did not expect to be sent to the Tingwei Mansion as soon as he came.

It wasn't until Liu Zhongqing came that he was like seeing a savior, and tears of excitement were about to fall.

"Lord Yanagi! Lord Yanagi! You're finally here. ”

"You've finally come to my rescue! Quick, let them get me out. ”

Qianyue Mountain has long passed the year of its establishment, accustomed to a comfortable life, and has never been in a cold and dark dungeon, looking at Liu Zhongqing is like seeing a relative, with tears in his eyes.

Now he can't wait to go out and feel the warmth of the sunshine in the world.

Who would have thought that Liu Zhongqing came with the squire of the Tingwei Mansion.

"The criminal minister Qianyue Mountain, today this official and Lord Lu of the Tingwei Mansion will jointly review your rebellion in Jingzhou." Liu Zhongqing's voice just fell.

Two officials from the Imperial Court stepped forward and untied the locks on the cell door, and the sound of chains rattling was particularly sharp and piercing throughout the dungeon.

The prisons held in Qianyue Mountain are all prisons where only felons and death row prisoners can enter the prison.

The more so, the more eerie it becomes.

There has been no sunlight for many years, and there is not the slightest popularity in this prison.

The flickering candles on the walls, with the occasional crackling sound, reflected the mottled old tables and chairs on the floor, and the large piles of moldy and rotting hay in the corners......

Liu Zhongqing could even smell the disgusting smell of blood inside, which was the remnants of the executioners left by the Wu Dynasty for hundreds of years.

"Lord Yanagi! I am Qianyue Mountain, Jingzhou joined the army, your nephew Su Tianyang's subordinates, have you forgotten? Qianyueshan shouted angrily.

Liu Zhongqing's face was still cold, and his eyes revealed disgust: "This official knows that it's you, don't talk nonsense." ”

The reason why he brought the people from the Tingwei Mansion to the court for trial today was to prevent Li Yunxing from being able to catch him in the future.

At least Qianyueshan was tried in the Tingwei Mansion, not counting his lynching by Liu Zhongqing.

Qian Yueshan's hands and feet were tied with thick and heavy shackles, and it took great strength to take every step he took, and he walked from the cell along the corridor into the torture cell, but the distance of dozens of steps was as long as a day, and his body could no longer support it at all, and he fell to one knee on the cold and damp stone pavement.

He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Liu Zhongqing, who was standing opposite, his eyes were red: "Lord Liu, please save me!" ”

Liu Zhongqing snorted slightly, and his tone was cold and ruthless: "After entering this court governor's mansion, no one can go out of the palace alone, instead of thinking about how this official saved you, it is better to think about how you rebelled, how you hurt King Zhaoyang, and how you fought for the tiger in Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Zhongqing's words have actually sentenced him to death.

When the iron door behind him was slammed shut, Qianyue Mountain knew that he himself would definitely be buried in this Tingwei Mansion today.

What's more, when you look up, you are surrounded by Liu Zhongqing's eyeliner, I'm afraid that even if he tells the truth now, no one will listen to it, right?

……

Jingzhou, which is thousands of miles away, Li Yunxing has already left Zhijiang County.

In order to speed up the construction of the embankment and to ensure the peace of the party, Li Yunxing finally chose to come to Jiangling City, in other words, the provincial capital of Jingzhou.

Unlike Zhijiang Castle, Gangneung Castle is located in the upper reaches of the river, and the river does not pass through the main castle.

Therefore, compared with the flood in Zhijiang County, the impact of Gangneung City is much smaller, and the population and liveliness of the city are also much larger.

Following Li Yunxing was Lian Jirou, who wore a veil made of hats to cover her face, but her slender and graceful figure was enough to cause the men on both sides of the street to look back frequently.

She was wearing a plain white dress, revealing half of her slender waist when her clothes swayed in the wind, and with her slightly powdered beautiful face, she seemed to be a fairy walking out of the painting, which was beautiful.

"Your Highness, why don't we go back to the capital directly for help, but instead come to Gangneung City to move the rescue troops?"

Li Yunxing shook his head, "Once you go back, the situation will be different." ”

"This Liu Zhongqing dares to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and even dares to refuse to report the rebellion and rebellion, this palace ...... If this son goes back, it will be difficult to grasp the situation in Jingzhou like now, and he must find a group of reliable helpers. ”

Lian Jirou was clever, and it was easy to understand: "It turns out that His Royal Highness wants to take the opportunity to establish his authority?" But Jiangling is far away from Jingshi, and it is the seat of Jingzhou, so His Royal Highness is not worried about Liu Zhongqing jumping off the wall in a hurry? ”

Li Yunxing laughed: "This son let Qianyue Mountain go back, just to let him let down his guard. And he shall deliver five hundred thousand taels of silver within ten days. ”

Lian Jirou nodded thoughtfully, "His Royal Highness the Prince's strategy is really clever, but his subordinates are a little worried, what if Liu Zhongqing doesn't pay the money?" When the time comes, will His Highness's plan not come to naught? ”

"Don't worry, Liu Zhongqing's family has a lot of money, and 500,000 taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for him." Li Yunxing was very confident, he knew the old fox.

There is another important reason why Li Yunxing was sent back to Qianyue Mountain.

Qianyueshan used to follow Su Tianyang's subordinates to do things, and presumably had little contact with Liu Zhongqing, perhaps because Su Tianyang died, Qianyueshan turned to cooperate directly with Liu Zhongqing.

But if you want to bring down Liu Zhongqing, it is just a Qianyue Mountain, and you can't touch its foundation at all, and in the end, treason will also become an itch for the other party.

Instead of this, Li Yunxing might as well hand over Qianyue Mountain to Liu Zhongqing for disposal.

can not only save yourself from trouble, but also test this old fox by the way, and at the same time make Liu Zhongqing owe himself a favor.
