Chapter 431: Shot
As Liu Yuan expected, when he went downstairs, he happened to see Zhao Changjing waiting there.
"But Xiao Chu woke up?" Liu Yuan clasped his hands into fists, greeted Zhao Changjing, and then asked in a low voice.
"Yes, come with me. Zhao Changjing bowed his head slightly and led the way, and Liu Yuan followed him all the way.
The two walked in that direction along the avenue, and when they were on the road, Zhao Changjing was still talking to Liu Yuan about Xiao Chu's situation, and when the latter first woke up, he was still very vigilant, after all, it was an unfamiliar environment, plus a strange man in front of him.
But after Zhao Changjing showed that he had saved him, Xiao Chu immediately came to his senses, after all, he Xiao Chu was also a man with clear grievances.
But the guard in my heart still hasn't been let down, and the other party won't save himself for no reason.
Now that both parties know this, the chat is much easier.
didn't go around the bush and think of some more secure ways, after Zhao Changjing chatted with him for a few words, he led the topic to his own business.
It didn't take much time in total, especially after Xiao Chu learned about Liu Yuan, he quickly agreed, after all, this did not conflict with his original purpose.
Walking on the road, the feet of the two are fast enough, and now the eldest prince has also found the second child, but it is obvious that there are a lot fewer patrol guards on the street.
As he was talking, the alley in front of him where Liu Yuan had been also arrived.
The poor living environment still did not improve much, and once again forced himself to endure the discomfort and walked in.
Pushing open the door of the house, the first thing I saw was in the narrow small courtyard, Xiao Chu was standing in the middle, playing a set of boxing techniques.
I guess I just woke up, and I was thinking about exercising, and my body would recover faster.
Looking back, when he saw that it was really Liu Yuan, Xiao Chu was really relieved, at least to prove that the person surnamed Zhao did not deceive himself.
After walking a few steps quickly to stand in front of Liu Yuan, Xiao Chu couldn't wait to ask, "Have you brought the news back and informed the family master?"
Hearing this, Liu Yuan sighed, during the time that the other party was unconscious, a lot of things happened in the entire Hongguang City.
"Naturally, I told you, Brother Xiao, don't worry, you listen to me in detail......" Liu Yuan said and pulled up Xiao Chu's wrist sleeves and walked forward, and several people sat down on the bench.
In the time that followed, Liu Yuan told the events in Hongguang City in detail.
After speaking, he saw that Xiao Chu was a little silent, and he might not be able to digest so much information for a while.
"You mean, the Xia family is already holding a trial meeting against the second son?" Xiao Chu asked.
"Yes. Liu Yuan nodded.
Whew-
With a long breath in his mouth, Xiao Chu stood up from his seat, walked a few steps slowly, paused again, looked back at Liu Yuandao, and said, "You asked me to help Miss Xia?"
"That's right. Liu Yuan nodded again.
"Okay, I agreed. ”
The conversation between the three of them was quite pleasant, and there was no dispute, and as soon as this matter was completed, Zhao Changjing could also return to the king of the east.
Several people counted the time, stepped out of the door together, and walked towards the location of the Xia family's trial meeting today.
Due to the deployment later, Xia Lingling had discussed with Liu Yuan early, and when Liu Yuan walked to the door of Nafu, he was led by a guard who had been waiting there early and walked in through the side door.
Except for Liu Yuan himself, only Xiao Chu was by his side, and in such a situation, Zhao Changjing naturally did not appear well, even after dressing up.
If it is discovered by the head of the Xia family, it will be a lot of trouble.
Seeing Liu Yuan and the two walk in, Zhao Changjing himself waited quietly outside, just opposite the house, there was a small two-story restaurant.
Zhao Changjing walked up to the second floor and sat down at the last window that was left.
In the entire second floor, in addition to him, there are naturally many good deeds, and the common people are curious about the big things that will happen today.
Even if you don't have the possibility to be there in person, it's good to be able to watch from a distance and listen to the rumors that come out from time to time.
Even if it is a little adjustment in the ordinary days, life can be more enjoyable.
Following the side door, after walking in, there were twists and turns along the way, and it didn't take long for Liu Yuan to see a group of people in front of him, surrounded by a compound.
Looking further away, there is a large hall in front of him, and the middle-aged man sitting directly above the hall must be the head of the Xia family.
In the next two rows, some of the gray-bearded old people must be some powerful clan elders of the Xia family.
Of course, in addition, the eldest prince and Xia Lingling are also impressively listed.
A little farther away, that is, in front of Liu Yuan after he came in, surrounded by people from the Xia family, most of them were women, children and young people, and Liu Yuan and the two stayed last.
The few people in front of them glanced back, and saw that they didn't know anyone, but they were led in by the guards, and they were no longer curious when they thought about it, after all, there were so many people in the entire Xia family, and there were too many side details, and they couldn't know all of them.
It's okay like this, there is no unnecessary greeting, Liu Yuan and the two of them stood quietly, and the second prince in the main hall in front of them knelt there, looking dejected, as if he was accepting the sentence of Lord Yama.
After pricking up his ears and listening a little, Liu Yuan was no longer curious, how to deal with the second son, he didn't care at all.
However, according to the progress, it may take a while to resolve this matter, but it will not be too long, after all, the human and physical evidence are all there, and the other party has no quibbles.
The sin of betraying the interests of the family and colluding with the king of the flat top is too big, even if it is the head of the family, he can only save his life.
If you don't punish you heavily, you can't convince the public, and under the witness of so many people, you can't deceive.
In fact, Lao Xia, who was sitting on the first to interrogate the second child at this moment, was very surprised in his heart, he never thought that the eldest son could really find the second child.
In his heart, he didn't want to see such a thing happen, and the news of the military order was spread by him.
In order to not want to see the prestige of the eldest son too much, after all, has anyone ever seen the emperor in the prime of life, and the prince's voice is extremely high?
There is even a faint meaning of abdicating to make way for Xian, what's the matter? Before he ascended the throne, he wanted to make him the head of the family?
If the boss really draws a perfect circle on this matter, it will inevitably increase his prestige again.
The rest of the power is still firmly in his hands, but Lao Xia is also well aware of the power of the people's voice and prestige.
So he didn't want to see that happen, and that was one thing.
Second, no matter how the second child is, in the end, he is his own son, and the palms and backs of his hands are all meat.
The other party is already a lost dog, even if he escapes, he can't set off any waves, even if he doesn't catch it, it's good, Lao Xia doesn't care much.
Moreover, the forces that the second child still remains, including some remnants of the Pingding King, are all in his efforts these days, and those who should take over have taken over, and those who should have collapsed have been disintegrated.
But now that the second child has been arrested, he has to act in accordance with the charter at a glance.
"Xia Yizhang violated the interests of the family, lived up to the expectations of the family, and did such a thing that people and gods were angry about...... Do you know !? guilt" Lao Xia, who was sitting at the top, looked down at his son slightly, and said loudly.
The previous trial of the second child, 1510 has been recorded, and now it is the last step.
In addition, only the breathing sound of the clan elders on both sides was heard, and the atmosphere was very serious, and the eldest did not look at his younger brother from beginning to end, and his eyes drifted to Xia Lingling who was sitting opposite him from time to time.
It's a little strange in his heart, he is still immersed in what happened before, and the part of the benefits that he gave away is not a small amount.
Among them, there is also the business of the second child that he originally took over, after all, he has to win over the powerful generals and officials in the clan, as well as raising people or something, they all have to spend money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.
Such benefits have been given up, and he has to feel pain, he couldn't figure out who took over before, and he couldn't think of which clan elder had taken a fancy to this piece.
But now that he came back to his senses, the more he looked at his sister, the more strange he felt, and those clan elders had already seen the methods of his father when he was fighting for the position of head of the family.
It doesn't make sense, and I still want to turn over the salted fish, and I'm getting old, so what do I want to do to make a big deal? Profiting from my own hands is not cost-effective in the long run.
But if this person is put on Xiaomei?
No, no, the boss shook his head again, her sister is already difficult to protect herself, how can she have spare time.
And how to free up his hands Not to mention, he also successfully found the whereabouts of the second child, you must know that he mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, but he did not succeed.
How can Xia Lingling, who has been away from the family for many years and has no foundation, do what he can't do?
The boss didn't believe it, and he didn't know that there was such a huge variable as Liu Yuan behind the whole thing, which played a role in driving the direction of things.
Thinking about this, the boss pinched his eyebrows, crossed his hands on his knees, and stopped thinking about it.
No matter what, since the incident has happened, since the other party has taken over these, in the days to come, it will always come to the surface, and it is not too late to think about it at that time.
Now that he has completed the feat of capturing the second child alive, no matter what way it is, it will be beneficial to him.
Now it's just a matter of thinking about how to maximize this benefit.
The words of the father fell on Xia Yizhang's ears word by word, and the latter knelt in the middle, his body fell down, and his back trembled slightly.
Gradually, his forehead pressed against the ground, and a somewhat weak voice floated out of his mouth: "I, Xia Yizhang, confess my guilt, no matter what kind of punishment the head of the family is, I will accept it." ”
At this point, the turmoil about the second son Xia Yizhang has finally come to an end.
But the whole family meeting was far from over, and after the trial, some of the clan elders snorted from their noses, which was regarded as a statement of their position, obviously because of the atmosphere of the second child.
Especially those who were still standing on the same line with the second Xia Yizhang before, they all hung their heads slightly at this time and closed their eyes to recuperate.
The second child, who was originally in the family and was pinned on great hopes, can now be regarded as completely finished.
Soon, a family guard came forward to set up the second child who was still kneeling on the ground and dragged him to the back of the main hall.
In the future, things will naturally be taken care of by others, and the punishment of the second child will take some time, and it will be implemented little by little.
"The second child's affairs are dealt with, let's talk about Miss Lingling's affairs. "The one who spoke was the head of the family on the right hand, and the patriarch who sat in the third place.
He was also one of the people who supported the second child, but now that everyone has entered, he naturally can't see others good.
was the first to speak such a word, but I saw that the head of the family sitting at the top did not speak, just frowned, and soon someone echoed:
"Yes, Xia Lingling left home to take charge of the military important place of Dade County, which is very important to the rise of our Xia family, and she was lost in her hands, and she had to be punished in order to show the fairness and justice of the family. ”
It was the boss who followed up and spoke, and said nonchalantly: "There is a reason for the incident, the external force is too strong, and my sister is a fledgling, so it's no wonder that she." ”
It was more or less a helper, but it didn't play a substantive role, but because of the boss's words, the quarrel between the two sides became more intense.
That's right, Li is also the same reason, hearing several people talking about herself, Xia Lingling took the initiative to stand up from her seat.
The first sentence of his mouth was to admit his mistake and not to defend it, which surprised several clan elders.
They didn't expect this competitive girl to soften so quickly.
But then I think about it, after all, the other party has no foundation, and his arms can't twist his thighs, so it's okay.
It's a pity that I haven't said a word just now, but I heard Xia Lingling's words turn around and say: "But although I have lost Dade County, I have relied on my own strength to run Dade County over the years, including the entire army of Dade County, which is the troops of the original imperial court."
The damage to the family is minimal, and ten of me can't match the second brother who has now been imprisoned. ”
Indeed, running Dade County for so long really depends on Xia Lingling's own strength, if you say with the help of the family, it is also with the help of the name of a family and some soft power.
Silver and people, she Xia Lingling didn't want it at all.
"Strong words!" shouted a clan elder with an angry face and a slap on the arm of his chair.
"Uncle Xia San is not in a hurry, and listen to the little girl continue. The head of the house, who was sitting at the top, finally spoke, and stopped everyone from continuing to gossip.
But for a while, they couldn't figure out the true thoughts of the head of the family.
Hearing this, Xia Lingling just chuckled, didn't look at the person, slowly took out a booklet from her arms, held it high and said:
"Since the family is so fair and just, then I think that this 'witch annihilation' that I Xia Lingling has worked so hard to find can be regarded as a great achievement?!"
The word witch annihilation fell, and they were all shocked.
What's more, he stood up directly from his seat, Liu Yuan, who was far away from the crowd, never thought that the thing he found for Xia Lingling had such magic.
