Chapter 170: Imprisoned
After Gong Xianrong announced the verdict, regardless of the chaos in the court, he took out another holy decree and continued to read, "Taigong Jinting, listening to slander, misleading the country and the people, it is really unbearable, take the position of the prince, confine the house, and do not be good." In addition, the second emperor's palace is brouncing, with a pure and good temperament, and he is now crowned the crown prince. I, who are not in good health, am afraid that time is running out, so I ordered the prince to supervise the country first, and when there is an auspicious day of the zodiac, I am in him. Chin this. ”
As soon as the holy decree came out, there was an uproar in the court, and everyone didn't expect such a big change. Gong Xianrong dared to detain General Baili and depose the crown prince. There are many upright people who have spoken out and asked to see the emperor. In an instant, the hall became a pot of porridge.
"Shut up!" Gong Xianrong picked up the dragon wood and slapped it heavily on the dragon case. With this sound, a group of guards with swords rushed in from outside the door, and the swords were unsheathed and waiting.
Gong Xianrong smiled coldly, "Whoever dares to resist the decree will be killed!"
The hall fell silent instantly, and some old ministers and people with lofty ideals shook their heads and sighed, and they all looked at Bailidu.
Gong Xianrong was very satisfied with his deterrent effect, and a gloomy smile appeared on his lips, "Come on, bring the criminal minister Bailidu into the prison." ”
Bailidu stood with his hands on top of the court, his handsome face was not shocked, and his deep eyes crossed the mockery, "Gong Xianrong, how can the prince be abolished if you say it, and the general is not what you say will be caught." ”
Gong Xianrong's eyes kept looking at him, Bailidu's honor and disgrace were not shocked, which made him a little weak-hearted, got up from behind the dragon case, walked to his side, and said cruelly, "This king has put all the capital under martial law, and it will take at least three days for your army to come back, so you can wait for death in the prison." ”
When the words fell, he shouted loudly, "Come on, send the criminal minister Baili to this king and put him in prison." The secretary of the military department led people to raid the general's mansion. ”
Bailidu was still smiling lightly, and Gong Xianrong, who looked at his teeth and claws, said coldly, "Usually the clowns who are jumping and happy, Ben Jiang has never put clowns in his eyes!"
"You..." Gong Xianrong's face became ugly, and he waved his big hand, "Come on, escort away!"
Among the group of people who rushed in just now, a few of them immediately came over, stretching out their hands to grab Bailidu.
Bailidu's gaze swept over them coldly, and his flat voice revealed a bitter chill, "Whoever of you dares to do it, try it." ”
Looking at those people stunned, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, "It's not going to the prison, are you?"
As he left, there was a gasping sound in the hall, and some people felt that Bailidu was waiting for reinforcements, while others were gloating, and the high-ranking general had finally fallen.
Gong Xianrong was still holding a cold sweat, but seeing that Bailidu really went to the prison, his nervous mood instantly relaxed. Reflexively returned to the dragon case and sat down, picked up the dragon wood and patted it on the table, "Everyone be quiet, the emperor and the crown prince are unwell today, so this king will be the regent. ”
The courtiers looked at each other, and this changed the dynasty? But in this case, General Baili was all put in prison, and no one else dared to say more. Besides, no matter how wrong Gong Xianrong and Gong Jinfeng are, they are also members of the royal family, so it's better not to offend easily.
Baili crossed out of the main hall, looked at the guards around him, and smiled calmly, "When did you enter the palace? Why has Ben never seen you?"
The guards led by him were afraid of him in their hearts, don't look at the general who is in prison now, but the emaciated camel is fatter than the horse, and he can't keep it when he comes out again, "If you go back to the general, the minion can't answer your question, don't be a slave." ”
Bailidu looked at this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had a good impression of him in his heart, so he didn't ask any other questions.
The prison was not set up in the Imperial Palace, but in the Criminal Department. When the squire of the Criminal Department heard that General Baili was being detained, he couldn't believe it, but when he saw that he was really here, he almost dropped his jaw. This great god is locked up in the Criminal Department, and if you don't get it right, it's a big thing to lose your head.
Bailidu looked at the changeable expression of the waiter of the Criminal Department, knowing what he was thinking, he didn't demolish him, he just said indifferently, "Lord Zhang wants Ben to stand here all the time?"
"No... No..."Zhang Jingge was startled, hurriedly waved his hand, and then turned sideways, "General, please come in." ”
Bailidu walked in, and when he passed by Zhang Jingge's side, he showed an intriguing smile. This Lord Zhang is a wall-to-wall grass, and now that Gong Xianrong is in power, Zhang Jingge didn't turn his face with him, probably because he wanted to leave a way back if he won in the future.
Entering the lobby of the Criminal Department, Bailidu was not polite, and sat directly on the main seat, "Which cell does Lord Zhang plan to arrange Ben General in?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. How dare you put the general in prison. Zhang Jingge stood at the foot of the hall and waved his hand, "The humble official has just ordered someone to prepare an upper room for the general, although it is not as luxurious as the general's mansion, but it is also comfortable, please take a look." ”
Bailidu lowered his head and played with the wrench in his hand, and paused for a while before he said casually, "Forget it, Ben Jiang should go to the prison, Lord Zhang of the province is not easy to explain." After the words fell, he got up, ignored Zhang Jingge, and walked straight in the direction of the prison.
Zhang Jingge couldn't figure out the general's thoughts, but he insisted on going to the prison, which was also a good thing for him, and seeing that the general had gone far, he hurriedly followed. Accompanying him all the way, Zhang Jingge frowned lightly when he saw the general stop outside the prison, and hurriedly nodded and said, "General, you wait here for a while, and let people go in and clean up immediately." ”
Bailidu glanced at him, "Go and call Xiao Han to the general." ”
Zhang Jingge immediately sent his men away, and then ordered someone to take a chair and a parasol, and waited for Bailidu to sit down here.
After a while, Xiao Han rode a horse to the prison of the Criminal Department, and after dismounting, he hurriedly walked in, kneeling on one knee, "My subordinates have seen the general." General Wan'an!"
"Well, I'm going to stay here for a few days, you clean up here. When Bailidu saw him, he raised his hand and motioned for him to get up, "Gong Xianrong asked the military department to raid the General's Mansion, how is the investigation now?"
"Back to the general's words, Lord Li, the squire of the military department, surrounded the general's mansion with five hundred soldiers, but there was no specific action. ”
Xiao Han stood up from the ground and looked at Zhang Jingge, who was standing not far away, clenching his fists into his chest, "My general has been taken care of by Lord Lao Zhang these days, Xiao is grateful, some thoughts, and please smile at Lord Zhang." After the words fell, he took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from his arms and put it in Zhang Jingge's hand.
Zhang Jingge hurriedly pushed back, "This is what a villain should do, how dare you accept the general's money." ”
Bailidu leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes comfortably, and said lazily, "Take it, otherwise Xiao Han will not worry about being here." ”
