Chapter 120: Queen Pretty designs to capture thieves
Fei Gong and Chen Ji ran out of the house and saw a man in short clothes who looked like a thug running towards them.
"Lord Qiyu, Lian Yi was rescued." As he spoke, the thug gripped his shoulder hard, and the arm below that shoulder was like a dead snake hanging upside down in the air, obviously no longer capable of lifting itself.
Chen Ji seemed to be burning his feet, and he jumped up all of a sudden.
"Don't chase it quickly, Lian hesitated to lose it, Empress Dowager Wu can't spare your family, and Lord Ben can't spare you."
The thug didn't recognize Chen Ji, and couldn't guess what the relationship between this guy who came out of nowhere and Fei Gong was, just squinted at him.
Fei Gong was also so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and followed the thugs to run to the firewood room where Lian was locked.
At the door of the firewood room, the two thugs who were originally guarding here were sitting on the ground, each holding one of their thighs and showing extreme pain. There was also a man lying not far from the high wall behind him, moaning incessantly, apparently hearing the sound and trying to catch up but was wounded here.
Lian and the people who rushed to save him were gone.
At this time, the people who heard the sound rushed to the scene, and a dozen or so male servants shouted with hooks, sticks, and the like in their hands, but they just didn't move.
"Rubbish!" Chen Ji scolded and pointed to the top of Fei Gong's bare head, "Lord Fei, you better find a good place in advance, lest you don't even have a place to bury your body after you die." ”
After Chen Ji finished speaking, he turned his head and left.
Fei Gong caught up from behind and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Lord Chen witnessed this with his own eyes, and asked Lord Chen to say more kind words in front of the Queen Mother, as long as he escaped this catastrophe, in the future, everything will be arranged by Lord Chen."
Chen Ji thought for a moment.
Although Lian Ji was rescued, if he acted fast enough, he should be able to finish what he had to do before Liu Yong returned.
"In that case, you and I need to discuss it carefully." Chen Ji pretended to sigh and said.
Back in the house, Fei Gong drafted a list by himself and handed it to Chen Ji.
"Most of these ministers had the idea of surrendering when Cao Wei's soldiers came, and a few of them were dissatisfied because His Majesty reused Chen Yi." Fei Gong pointed to a person named Wang Si on the list, "This person is the son of the original rebel general and Wujun Taishou General Wang Ping, and he has always been suspicious of the change of the queen, but he suffers from the lack of real evidence, if Lord Chen can ask him to know the truth, presumably he will also advocate rebellion and contend with His Majesty today." ”
Chen Ji put the list away.
"Lord Fei will rest first, and after Lord Ben can find a way out for you in front of the Queen Mother, it will not be too late for you and me to go together to tie these ministers."
"Thank you, Lord Chen." Fei Gong was grateful.
After sending Chen Ji away, Fei Gong returned to the living room, and after sitting for a long time, he went to the Qinglian room to rest under the service of a little maid.
Qinglian had already fallen asleep.
In fact, where can she sleep.
Just now, the little girl who served her hurriedly ran back to inform her that someone had rescued Lian Zhen, and said that someone was conspiring with Fei Gong to kidnap Empress Dowager Wu and Empress Zhang in the living room.
Just now, the black shadow that Chen Ji and Fei Gong saw was this little girl, but later because of Lian He's rescue, the two of them temporarily forgot about it.
The little girl didn't know Chen Ji either, but this was enough to make Qinglian feel terrified.
If Fei Gong really did such a thing, not only would the life of the family be unsafeguarded, but even his nine clans would be affected, and he would naturally be unable to escape death.
The more Qinglian thought about it, the more frightened she became, and told the little girl that she would wake herself up early tomorrow morning, and she would immediately inform Shayue of the news.
Chen Ji was really a pivotal presence in front of the Empress Dowager Wu, and early the next morning, the palace sent someone over to ask Fei Gong to go to Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Wu reprimanded Fei Gong a few words in front of Chen Ji, and it was okay, but she asked him to secretly send someone to find Lian Ji. As for the matter of restoring the command of Chen Ji's forbidden army, Empress Dowager Wu did not mention it.
At this point, Chen Ji underestimated the IQ of Empress Dowager Wu:
Restoring Chen Ji's position as commander of the forbidden army is equivalent to putting Liu Yong's life in the hands of Chen Ji, how could Empress Dowager Wu give up her only son. Not only that, but Empress Dowager Wu also wanted two personal eunuchs to protect Chen Ji, and without her own permission, he would never be allowed to step out of the palace again.
Empress Dowager Wu's decision gave Dong Qi and Lian Ji enough time outside the city to make the handover.
When it was almost noon, Lian Ji had already rushed to the direction of Jianning City with a few entourages.
Not long after, Dong Qi and Zhang Shao received a message from Empress Zhang at the same time, informing Chen Ji and Fei Gong of the conspiracy to rebel, and asked the two to enter the palace secretly.
Dong Qi and Zhang Shao rushed to Jing'an Palace half an hour later.
"This news was sent by the concubine in Fei Gong's mansion, and the palace has already asked someone to go to the Queen Mother's Palace to inquire, Chen Ji did come back secretly last night, and he is still hiding in the Queen Mother's Palace." Empress Zhang whispered to the two.
"If Chen Ji and Fei Gong and others are not removed, it will be difficult for my Shu Han to be safe after all." Zhang Shao stomped his feet.
"Your Majesty also hates these two of them, but Your Majesty is not in the court, and we will rashly kill the two, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to explain." Dong Qi hesitated.
"Your Majesty hopes that my brother can get rid of Chen Ji as soon as possible, but this guy is hiding in the Queen Mother's Palace, how can he do it?" Empress Zhang was also very embarrassed.
Zhang Shao's eyes showed murderous intent.
"The Queen Mother was fascinated by Chen Ji's house, I'm afraid that even my Shu Han Jiangshan can't compare to this guy, this general is desperate to get a big rebellious charge, take people to the Queen Mother's palace to arrest people, and kill them on the spot, but I want to see what the Queen Mother can do to me?"
"Brother, don't be reckless." Empress Zhang hurriedly stopped.
"The best way is to deal with it secretly when Chen Ji leaves the palace, but this person who needs to be monitored by the Queen Mother's side, although it is also a bit risky, it is better than breaking into the palace." Dong Qi also said.
Empress Zhang was thoughtful.
"Previously, the palace sent two clever girls to the queen mother, but they were all placed in the back by the queen mother to do some rough work, it can be seen that the queen mother is still wary of the palace, if you send someone over, I am afraid it will be difficult to be left by the queen mother's side." Empress Zhang seemed to be talking to herself.
The three of them fell silent.
"When the general takes people to Fei Gong's mansion to arrest people, that old guy is timid by nature, and he will bring him back to the barracks for strict interrogation, and he will definitely tell the truth, and at that time, he will take people to the Empress Dowager's palace to arrest people, and with Fei Gong's confession, there is no excuse for the Empress Dowager Wu to stop him." Zhang Shao said.
"That's a good idea." Dong Qi said, "It's just that General Zhang still needs to act secretly in this matter, and before he gets Fei Gong's confession, he must not alarm others, so as not to startle the snake." ”
"It's easy to do." Zhang Shao said, "General Ben personally led people to ambush next to Fei Gong's mansion gate, as long as he walked out of the palace, he would do it immediately." ”
"This matter is important, it is better for General Dong Qi to go, my brother is anxious, I am afraid that it will not be clean." Empress Zhang said.
"Wechen obeys." Dong Qi bowed down and replied.
Zhang Shao glanced at Dong Qi, with a look of disdain on his face, but it was not good to say it in front of Queen Zhang, so he had to whisper "obey the order".
