Chapter 259: Old People Meet
At the beginning, Chen Qiaoxin asked Lu Wushuang, Qiu Yintao and others to leave, and after thinking about the same door for so many years, no one left. But tomorrow is going to be beheaded, Qiu Yintao has some regrets in his heart, regretting that he should have taken his junior sister, pulled his senior brother, and dragged his junior brother to run earlier. But it's too late to think about it now.
Just as the four of them were thinking wildly, a figure flashed at the cell door, and Nian Qianyao smiled at Chen Qiaoxin and said, "Teacher, you are good!"
Qiu Yintao couldn't help but be angry: "Tomorrow will be the head of the ground, who is not long-sighted will dare to ridicule my senior brother like this." ”
Qiu Yintao looked up and immediately lost half of his anger. He saw that he was twenty-four or five years old, his eyebrows were colorful, his eyes were like stars, his mouth and nose were straight, and he was majestic and heroic. At first glance, he looks like an official.
Qiu Yintao immediately smiled and said, "Dare to ask Master Jun who you are?"
Nian Qianyao smiled and said: "I am the Hanlin Academy to review Nian Qianyao. He now holds the position of supervisor. ”
When Qiu Yintao heard this, he immediately smiled a begonia flower on his face: "My lord, you are a prison officer! The villain, Qiu Yintao, is the second junior brother of my senior brother Chen Qiaoxin. ”
Chen Qiao was pleased to see Nian Qianyao coming, and he quickly stood up, bowed to Nian Qianyao, and said, "It turned out to be Nian Daren." The villain meets the adult. ”
Nian Qianyao held Chen Qiaoxin through the fence gate: "Mr. Chen doesn't have to be like this. The student saw that the name of the gentleman was included in the list of beheaded, so he came to greet him. ”
Chen Qiaoxin once had a one-time appointment with Nian Qianyao in Tongzhou City, and handed over the primer book of the Divine Fire Sect to Nian Qianyao. After Chen Qiaoxin left the city, he told Qiu Yintao, Lu Wushuang and others about the incident. So when Nian Qianyao reported to his home, Qiu Yintao immediately remembered that Nian Qianyao and his senior brother Chen Qiaoxin had a past.
Qiu Yintao suddenly said with a bitter face: "Lord Nian, you see that my senior brother and we will be beheaded tomorrow." Can you let me wait now? ”
Nian Qianyao smiled slightly, looked at Chen Qiaoxin, and did not say a word.
Chen Qiaoxin smiled and said, "Yes! I'm over half a hundred years old, and I don't have anything to die for. It's just that my senior brothers, they are still young, can the adults raise their noble hands and let them go?"
Nian Qianyao showed a sincere look on his face and said, "Where did Mr. Chen come from. The students came here for Mr. Yu. It's just..."
Chen Qiao was pleased to see that Nian Qianyao had something to say, and hurriedly asked, "If you have anything to say, please tell me directly." ”
Nian Qianyao smiled: "If Mr. Chen is willing to serve the imperial court and hand over the "Divine Fire Minutes", the student dares to use the head of the person on the item to guarantee the safety of the four of them, and they can release you today." ”
Chen Qiaoxin sighed: "Don't hide it, this "Divine Fire Minutes" is the last work of the first master, and my brothers and I have only heard about it, but we have not seen it with our own eyes. The young man wants this book, and the villain can't do anything about it. ”
Nian Qianyao frowned, feeling disappointed in his heart.
"I have the Minutes of the Divine Fire. "Divine Fire Minutes" is in my hands!" Qiu Yintao's words made Chen Qiaoxin, Nian Qianyao, Lu Wushuang and others all surprised.
Nian Qianyao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes shone brightly: "What Qiu Yishi said is true?"
Qiu Yintao patted his chicken breast: "In front of adults, the little ones can lie." ”
Nian Qianyao looked very excited, he stared at Qiu Yintao with both eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "But I don't know where the "Divine Fire Minutes" is now?"
Qiu Yintao looked solemn and said loudly: "The Divine Fire Minutes are not in the hands of the villain now. I hid it in a secret place. As long as the adults let us go, the villain will go and retrieve the dedication to the adults now. ”
Nian Qianyao looked Qiu Yintao up and down, and then nodded: "I will return to Your Majesty now, please release him!" If Qiu Yishi made something out of nothing and deceived Nian, what should you know the consequences?"
Qiu Yintao immediately knelt on the ground and swore to the heavens: "If I, Qiu Yintao, deceive the young man, I will be killed with arrows, and I will not be able to die well in danger." ”
Nian Qianyao hurriedly helped Qiu Yintao up, and said with a smile: "Qiu Yishi's words are serious!" After speaking, he arched his hand at Chen Qiaoxin and turned away.
Nian Qianyao came to see Kangxi, and Kangxi heard that Nian Qianyao asked to see him, so he ordered Liang Jiugong to take Nian Qianyao to the back hall.
When Nian Qianyao saw Kangxi, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”
Kangxi glanced at Nian Qianyao in front of him: "Nian Aiqing, how are you preparing for tomorrow's beheading?"
Nian Qianyao kowtowed again and said, "Wechen is already ready, just waiting for His Majesty to personally examine the sentence tomorrow." ”
Kangxi shook his head: "The bloody qi on the court is too heavy. I'm a believer, but I'm not going. ”
Nian Qianyao said: "Weichen respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders. ”
Kangxi raised his eyelids: "You see me today, is there something to start?"
Nian Qianyao groaned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty." Weichen came to ask for something. ”
Kangxi's eyes lit up: "Let's hear it." ”
"Your Majesty, among these thieves, four are innocent. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”
Kangxi stroked his beard with his right hand, and his eyes were fixed on Nian Qianyao: "Which four people are they, and what does it have to do with you?"
Nian Qianyao bowed down and said, "These four people have a relationship with Weichen. They are all honest people who are duty-bound, wandering around, and they didn't come to Yangzhou until last year. ”
Kangxi frowned and said, "Then who are their surnames and what do they do?"
Nian Qianyao felt that Kangxi's tone was a little active, and hurriedly said: "The eldest of these four people is named Chen Qiaoxin, who is a teacher, and the second in line is named Qiu Yintao, who is a college guard. The third Guo Chong is a husband, and as for the youngest is a woman, she has not yet left the cabinet at an age, and she relies on her senior brothers to help. ”
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Aiqing has confirmed that these four people are innocent and wronged, then let them go." ”
Nian Qianyao kowtowed a little excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission." ”
Early the next morning, Nian Qianyao sent nearly 200 officers and soldiers to guard the entrance of the vegetable market, and then personally took 300 officers and soldiers to the temporary prison in the south of the city to raise nearly 1,000 criminals and escort them to the court. Crying dad and shouting mother along the way, boiling the sky. Nian Qianyao was unmoved, and there was always a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until the time had passed that Nian Qianyao escorted all the prisoners to the court. These prisoners fell to their knees in the dark, and their voices of grief were heard for ten miles. There were more than 500 officers and soldiers standing around the court, each with a sword hanging from their swords, and their eyes were angry. The people who came to see the Dharma field today can be described as a sea of people, tens of thousands. This made Nian Qianyao and these officers and soldiers a little nervous. Since the death of the chief soldier Moretai, the princess Chunyu led the officials and soldiers of Yangzhou to fight, and now there are less than 1,000 people left in the city. If there is any more chaos, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to end.
