Chapter 83: Amnesty
Zhou Ziran walked up the hillside, followed by two catchers, until he came to the bushes.
Ye Feng looked at him who was still in a poisoning coma yesterday, his steps were vigorous and refreshed at the moment, and he was really back to normal, and he couldn't help but admire Miss Cheng's medical skills even more.
Lord Zhou nodded to Ye Feng and asked in a deep voice, "What is the situation with Guan Si Old Man now?"
After Guan Peng raised his head and saluted, he described the current situation and the inference of Mo Qizhong just now.
Lord Zhou listened carefully, and at the same time poked his head to look at Guan Si, who was still sitting in front of the tombstone, talking to himself, lightly twisting his beard under his chin, thoughtful.
Seeing Zhou Ziran and the two catchers behind him, Mr. Arazuki, who had been standing beside Guan Si with his head down, suddenly walked over, looked at Zhou Ziran with a cold face and asked, "Are you here to arrest the fourth brother?"
Zhou Ziran seemed to be taken aback by the evil anger on his face, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Oh, I misunderstood, I misunderstood, the lower official only brought someone over to take a look because Prince Guan sent someone to inform him, and he had no such intention, no such intention!"
Hearing this, Mr. Arakitsuki's face softened a little.
Of course, Ye Feng knew in his heart that Master Zhou was actually a hidden master, and his martial arts were only above Mr. Wastemoon. Usually, his timid and submissive appearance is just a deliberate pretend.
Now seeing his appearance in the game world, I can't help but be secretly amused in my heart.
Lord Zhou shook his head again and muttered: "But after all, Old Man Guan Si is a serious murderer, if he is not arrested and it is not in accordance with the law, what should I do?"
As soon as he raised his head, he looked at Guan Pengju and asked, "Since the fourth old man Guan is already so seriously ill and delirious, if this official hands him over to Guan Gongzi, what are you going to do?"
Guan Pengju replied respectfully: "I will definitely take good care of my father in the house, ask a famous doctor to recuperate, and do my filial piety as a son of man, and I will never let my father show up in front of people again, so as not to make it difficult for adults." ”
This is tantamount to promising Lord Zhou that Guan Si, an old madman, will be placed under house arrest in the future, and he will never be allowed to go out to cause trouble again.
Lord Zhou looked at Guan Si, who was stupid and stupid, and waved his hand: "There is nothing difficult to do, since this is the case, the official will hand over Ling Zun to Guan Gongzi and take him back to the mansion." Ling Zun's martial arts, you must take good care of it, and you must not be negligent at all. ”
He agreed so briskly, but it greatly surprised everyone, and everyone looked at him with half a doubt. Even Guan Pengju was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and hurriedly thanked Lord Zhou again and again.
Ye Feng couldn't help but ask: "Lord Zhou can deal with it like this, it is indeed humane, but how to explain it to the imperial court?"
Lord Zhou glanced at Ye Feng with a sly look, and said, "What do you explain? This official is acting according to the will of the imperial court." ”
He saw that everyone around him didn't understand, so he hummed and said softly: "This official received the Beijing Express this morning, yesterday the queen mother died of a serious illness, and the emperor has issued an edict to announce to the world that Su Min will be transmitted to Lanzhou within two days." ”
(According to research, before the Wei and Jin dynasties, the death of the queen was called Xue, and in the history books after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the death of the emperor and queen was called death, the death of the princes and concubines was called Xue, the death of senior ministers was called a pawn, the death of a meritorious scholar was called Bulu, and only the death of the common people was called death.) )
He paused and said, "The emperor also issued a decree to grant amnesty to the world
In addition to the ten unforgiving major crimes such as rebellion and rebellion, serious crimes are mitigated and misdemeanors are avoided. Although the old man Guan Si is a felony of murder, he must be lenient according to his will, and now he has been punished by heaven and has become insane, and he has no memory of any of his previous crimes, he is just a seriously ill person. What is wrong with this officer's handling of the matter? Who else do you need to give an account of?"
When everyone heard this, they understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he heard the news of the queen's death that shook the world from the mouth of Lord Zhou, Sizhi couldn't help but feel shocked.
Zhang Fatzi shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "This queen mother is really dead." ”
If he usually said such disrespectful words, Ye Feng would have to scold this mouthy brother. But now he didn't do it, not even glare, because he felt the same thing in his heart at this time.
Yes, the death of the queen mother came at a really good time.
Amnesty.
Therefore, the felony of Song Hu, the little marquis of Xining, who privately transferred troops and horses, as well as the crimes of subordination of the border generals under his command, can all be pardoned logically.
As a result, the northwest border pass avoided a great purge, a great turmoil, restored the previous calm, and became an indestructible Xiongguan again.
I'm afraid that this kind of ending is what the emperor wants to see the most!
When he was thinking about it here, Lord Zhou lowered his voice and sighed: "Yes, it was a coincidence that the queen mother died." What's more coincidental is that Niangniang just died a few hours ago, and her eldest brother, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, also died of illness in the capital. It is indeed a coincidence that the two siblings died on the same day. ”
(According to historical records, on the fourth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yongle, Empress Xu died of illness at the age of forty-six, and her nickname was Empress Renxiao.) In the same year, his brother Xu Huizu died of illness and committed suicide, but the specific time of his death was not recorded. )
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked.
Although Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was the younger brother of Empress Xu, he was a diehard loyalist of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yun, and in his early years, he advocated cutting the domain, especially against Zhu Di, the king of Yan.
As the son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, he was well versed in the art of war, and led the army to save the commander of the Southern Army Li Jinglong several times, and defeated the Yan army several times, killing the generals of the Yan army, which made Zhu Di hate it deeply.
Later, because of his in-law relationship with Zhu Di, he was suspicious of Emperor Jianwen, was stripped of his military power, and lived in seclusion in the capital.
When the city of Nanjing was broken and Zhu Di ascended the throne, Xu Huizu locked himself in the ancestral hall of his father Xu Da and refused to recognize Zhu Di as the emperor. Zhu Di was furious and wanted to kill him, but because of the relationship between his father and his sister, he had to be claustrophobic in the end.
It's not a secret, almost everyone in the world knows about it.
Now that my sister Empress Xu has just passed away, Xu Huizu has died with her, and I can't help but feel a little strange when I think about it, and I shudder when I think about it.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about it with strange expressions, Lord Zhou approached Ye Feng with a smile on his face, and said casually: "Ye Gongzi, thank you for helping to rescue Xia Guan back to the city that day, I am really grateful." ”
Suddenly, the topic changed and asked: "I heard that Ye Gongzi drank a lot of a big feast in Suwang's Mansion last night, is he okay now?"
Ye Feng was stunned by these two thoughtless sentences, and he didn't understand what he wanted to say.
Master Zhou's eyes rolled, seeing that no one present noticed him, and suddenly leaned close to Ye Feng and whispered
said: "What happened to the Fu Shuangling you rescued from the secret room?"
These words reminded Ye Feng at once.
Since he rescued Fu Shuangling from the secret room that night, Song Hu has besieged the city one after another, and now Guan Si has become a stupid person, these troubles have overwhelmed him, and he almost forgot Fu Shuangling, who was still recuperating in the Qinglong Dart Game.
Come to think of it, who is guarding him now?
Thinking of such an important person, and now that there is no one around, he only feels tight in his heart.
Lord Zhou snorted and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to quietly take him to the mansion and settle down, and now Tang Rou and Miss Cheng are guarding by his side, Gongzi, please come with me to see him now." ”
Ye Feng nodded, and his heart was finally a little more steady.
Fu Shuangling was originally caught by Guan Si and secretly imprisoned in the secret room for twenty years. Now that Guan Si wants to be sent back to the mansion to recuperate, it is naturally inappropriate for Fu Shuangling to stay in the Guan Mansion any longer.
What's more, Mo Qizhong said that the dementia that Guan Si suffers from is sometimes good and sometimes bad, capricious, and although he is crazy when he is sick, he will be no different from ordinary people when he is awake.
But who knows when he'll wake up?
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Zhou Ziran is really an old Jianghu, he has been scheming and calculating, and he thought of picking up Fu Shuangling in advance.
No wonder he can become one of the "Five Hearts of the Buddha", the Shaolin Reform Master will trust him so much, let him help himself secretly, remembering that he has just woken up from the poisoned coma, he can find his own omissions and remedy them, Ye Feng feels sincerely admired.
Lord Zhou turned around at this time, snorted, and said to Guan Pengju: "Then this official will hand over the fourth old man of Ling Zun Guan to the prince now, you must take care of it, do your filial piety, and don't live up to the good intentions of this official." ”
Then he pointed to the two catchers who were following him, and said, "These two people will stay to assist Guan Gongzi, it is inevitable that the night will be full of dreams, so it is better to send the old man back to the mansion as soon as possible!"
Guan Peng bowed and responded, "Yes." ”
Lord Zhou nodded: "Then the official will leave here, and go back to the government to deal with official business first, if there is any need, please come to report as soon as possible." ”
Guan Pengju bowed deeply and said, "Congratulations to my lord." ”
Lord Zhou turned his head and said to Ye Feng and Tang Da again, "Everyone, are you interested in traveling together?"
Naturally, everyone was not allowed, so they resigned to Guan Pengfei one after another, only Mr. Arazuki insisted on staying, saying that he would personally escort Guan Si back to his home to feel at ease.
Everyone understood the grievances between him and Guan Si, and naturally they did not persuade each other.
Just as he turned around and was about to go down the mountain, Ye Feng's brows moved, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of a gray figure faintly flashing in the dense forest next to the hillside.
This figure was very familiar, but Ye Feng didn't say anything, pretending to be nothing, and followed Zhou Ziran down the hill.
On the hillside, Guan Pengju and Mr. Arazuki were both standing solemnly watching Ye Feng and his group leave.
None of them noticed that Guan Si, who had been sitting in front of the tombstone and talking to himself, suddenly turned his head and glanced over here.
There was no trace of the previous sluggish and wooden look in his eyes, but a touch of smugness and viciousness swept over him!
