Chapter 58: The Prisoner Exchange Turmoil
After the Shen family escorted the assassinated Qi Mansion guards to Dali Temple, Taifu Mansion soon got the news.
Qi Huan waited anxiously in the room for Guard Zhou to bring back the news that Shen Yanshu had been killed, but she waited for the angry Mrs. Qi.
"You unfilial granddaughter, I really love you for so many years, and you have made such a stupid means!" Mrs. Qi pointed at Qi Huan and scolded tremblingly.
Qi Huan didn't expect that the person he sent not only failed to kill Shen Yanshu, but he also fell into her hands, and being accused like this made her even more aggrieved.
"Grandfather, I also acted out of desperation! If it weren't for the aggressiveness of the surnamed Shen, how could I do such a thing!"
"You still have the face to say!" Mrs. Qi said, "When Shen Yanshu came over to talk about peace during the day, instead of going down the steps, you came up with such an idea, do you think our Qi family is living steadily!"
Qi Huan hurriedly said: "Grandfather, I didn't mean to, I really didn't expect Shen Yanshu to be alive." ”
Mrs. Qi was angry: "You still don't regret it! Sending someone to break into the mansion of a court official is a serious crime! Not to mention the charge of murder! If this crime is confirmed, don't say that I can't protect you, even our Qi family will suffer because of this!"
Qi Huan's face turned pale: "Grandfather, granddaughter doesn't want to die yet, grandfather, you must have a way, isn't it, the one who hurt you the most in the past was me......"
Mrs. Qi really hated that iron could not become steel, and said with a calm and dark face: "You give me a good grounding in the room, I am not allowed to go anywhere, and I am not allowed to assign any of the subordinates in the mansion to do things!"
After saying that, he threw his sleeves and left, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would really be angry with this unscrupulous descendant!
Qi Huan collapsed in the room in a daze, she felt so desperate for the first time......
After Mrs. Qi finished training Qi Huan, she paced back and forth in the main courtyard, but still couldn't come up with any way, her hands clenched into fists, and finally changed into an inconspicuous set of clothes and went out.
Taking advantage of the night, the carriage of Qifu came to the back door of Yuwang's Mansion, and the little servant patted the door, and after showing a sign to the people in the office, he was directly released.
Mo Feng, who was lying on the roof not far away, saw this scene and turned around and went back in the direction of King Ling's Mansion.
"Yuwang?" Yan Qinghan listened to the news from Mo Feng and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Could it be that the person Shen Yanshu said could fight against King Ning was Yuwang Yansheng?
But even he didn't know that Taifu Qi was King Yu's person, how did Shen Yanshu know that he had analyzed the affairs of the court so well that Yan Qinghan didn't believe that she was unprepared.
"You continue to stare at the Qi family. Yan Qinghan said.
He felt like a big drama was coming.
At this time, in King Yu's mansion, Mrs. Qi visited in the middle of the night, and Yan Sheng hurried to the living room to meet him.
"Mrs. Qi is looking for this king so late, but what's the big deal?" Yan Sheng came in a hurry and asked as soon as he stepped into the living room.
When Mrs. Qi saw Yan Sheng, she hurriedly went up and knelt directly on the ground, and said bitterly: "Your Highness, please save our Qi family!"
Yan Sheng was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Taifu Qi up: "Taifu don't want to make this big gift, what can I say directly." ”
Mrs. Qi didn't care much, he didn't even sit on a stool, but stood directly and told King Yu the whole story.
If it is an ordinary murder, it may not be so complicated, but Qi Huan used the guards of the Qi Mansion and fell into the hands of Zheng Ji, so it was not Qi Huan alone, but the entire Qi family.
Yan Sheng was also frowning after hearing this, the Shen family directly sent people to Dali Temple, and his attitude towards justice was so resolute, even if he had the heart to adjust the Shen family, he might not be willing to suffer this loss.
But if it is not adjusted, if it is tried judicially, it will be unfavorable to the Qi family, although he is a prince, he cannot ignore the law and discipline of the court.
"Otherwise, let Miss Qi admit this charge first. Yan Sheng said.
Mrs. Qi was anxious: "Your Highness, if you admit this crime, don't talk about my granddaughter, even the old minister and I may be dismissed because of this." ”
Yan Sheng shook his head and disagreed with Taifu Qi's statement: "Now that the guards of the Qi Mansion are in the hands of Zheng Ji, if it is found out that they are ordered to kill people, no matter whose order it is, your Qi family will really not be able to get out." ”
"And if Miss Qi admits that this is just her doing, at most she will suffer a little and spend some time in prison, after all, the people of the Shen family have not really been killed, and they cannot be sentenced to life. ”
"Miss Qi alone and the entire Qi Mansion, which is more important, Taifu should have a competition. What's more, Miss Qi is only in prison temporarily, and her life is not endangered, and when the matter fades down, she will be secretly taken out and sent away. ”
Yan Sheng's words made Qi Taifu hesitate, his analysis was not unreasonable, with the strength of King Yu, he could barely keep the black gauze hat on his head.
It's poor Sister Huan who has to suffer from prison......
"That's all we can do for now. Mrs. Qi sighed, and her frowning brows did not stretch at all.
Coming out of King Yu's Mansion, Mrs. Qi took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright and returned directly to the mansion.
"Master, His Royal Highness King Ning has come down!" As soon as the housekeeper saw Mrs. Qi, he hurriedly stepped forward to report.
Mrs. Qi was surprised, what is King Ning doing at this time?
He hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the front hall to meet Ning Wang Yanxiao.
"I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins, there are more locks in the official's house now, and I am busy dealing with it, but I have neglected Your Highness, and I hope Your Highness will understand. Mrs. Qi stepped forward and said.
Yan Xiao looked at Mrs. Qi with a tired expression, and knew that what happened tonight really needed a lot to deal with for the Qi family.
He said: "This king has just learned about the Taifu family, so he came to see if he could help." ”
Mrs. Qi was slightly stunned: "His Royal Highness Lao has a note, but the affairs of the lower officials are extremely cumbersome, and it is not good for His Highness to bother." ”
"What bother, don't bother, Taifu will see the outside. Yan Xiao said, "This king really appreciates Lord Qi. ”
said it so obviously, how could Taifu Qi not understand what Yan Xiao meant.
It's just that he has long been on King Yu's side, how could he agree to King Ning's kindness.
He said: "How can you do it, but this matter is still solved by yourself, thank you for your kindness." ”
Yan Xiao listened to Mrs. Qi's rejection, but he was not annoyed, he felt that these ministers were all about the same, and they did not easily stand in line before they saw their abilities.
He said: "Lord Qi, can you trust that this king can ensure that your Qi family can exit this lawsuit safely?"
As soon as Mrs. Qi wanted to say something, Yan Xiao interrupted him and continued: "Lord Qi is not in a hurry to refuse first, this king has a way to directly replace the guards in Dali Temple and replace them with a few dead beggars, and when the time comes, there is no proof of death, who can bite Lord Qi?"
Mrs. Qi was stunned, if it was according to King Ning's method, this fire would not be able to burn the Qi family at all, and he could also retreat at that time, and even Sister Huan would not be implicated.
Even if Shen Jun is unwilling, he naturally can't do anything to him without evidence.
Seeing that Mrs. Qi hesitated, Yan Xiao understood that he knew that his plan was feasible.
"If Mrs. Qi is still not at ease, we can wait for the result. ”
Yan Xiao bowed his head, then turned to leave.
Mrs. Qi wanted to say something, but Yan Xiao had already walked away, he sighed and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
"Father, but do you want to consider King Ning's suggestion?" Mrs. Qi's eldest son stepped forward and asked.
Mrs. Qi glanced at him: "No." ”
"But there is no good way on King Yu's side, every time I know that I call my father, once the Qi family is in trouble, I can't help anything. ”
"What do you know!" Qi Taifu interrupted him, "King Yu's foundation is not stable, and his strength naturally cannot be compared with King Ning, but King Yu is more strategic and knows how to forbear." And King Ning already has Hengguo Gong behind him, even if I assist him to ascend the throne, the first hero is still the person from Hengguo Mansion, I'm afraid I don't remember the Qi family for a long time. ”
"My son can save it, but King Ning helped us this time, if he threatens us with this, what should we do?"
Mrs. Qi said: "This matter was originally done by himself, and we didn't ask him." Besides, if the emperor knew about this, the Qi family and King Ning would only lose both. ”
There are only interests in party fighting, so it's no wonder that he can't get King Ning's love.
King Ning's confident appearance made Mrs. Qi feel a little relieved, although he used him, he could help the Qi family break the siege, and nothing else mattered.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that King Ning's help will only help more and more.
It was an unquiet night, and the sky gradually brightened, illuminating Chang'an City, like countless such mornings.
Chu Linche came to King Ling's Mansion early in the morning, after all, the news that the Qi family sent someone to assassinate Shen Yanshu yesterday was too shocking, and many people already knew about it.
"Shen San actually let herself be injured, I thought she couldn't afford to lose anything. Chu Linche said.
Yan Qinghan on the side frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't hear Chu Linche's words at all.
Chu Linche shook his hand in front of him: "What are you thinking?"
"I wonder what means Shen Yanshu used to make Yan Xiao and Yan Sheng both turn their faces with Mrs. Qi. Yan Qinghan said.
Chu Linche was puzzled, he just wanted to ask what this had to do with King Ning Yu, Mo Bai stepped forward to report.
"Lord Wang, Wang Jingqing's plan has failed!"
Yan Qinghan asked, "What's the matter?"
Mo Bai said: "Originally, things were the same as the prince imagined, after King Ning went to see Mrs. Qi, he sent someone to ask Wang Jingqing to exchange a few beggars for the Qi family guards in prison. But later, I don't know what happened, the guards of the Qi family had already been replaced, and Wang Jingqing was caught by Zheng Ji, the secretary of Dali Temple, when they were replaced, and they were taken down directly!"
Chu Linche, who was on the side, was surprised: "This Zheng Ji is really clever, how would he know that Wang Jingqing was going to change prisoners?"
Yan Qinghan shook his head: "It's not Zheng Ji." ”
Chu Linche asked puzzledly, "Who is it not Zheng Ji?"
Yan Qinghan turned his head and asked Mo Bai: "Who else arrested Wang Jingqing at that time except Zheng Ji?"
According to the news that came back, there is also the third son of the Weng family who served in Dali Temple, Weng Congyuan. ”
