Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 100
The flame flickered, and the candle flames flickered on people's faces.

The dark and damp cell was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Chen Xiao straightened up, looking down at the blood splattered on his body, frowning imperceptibly, Jiang Haichao saw the master's beckoning eyes, and hurriedly took a clean handkerchief and handed it over.

Chen Xiao glanced at him lightly, his eyes were calm and unwavering, but Jiang Haichao felt terrified at the sight.

Chen Xiao took the handkerchief, and gracefully wiped the blood on his hands.

Mo Zhennan, who was limp on the ground, came back to his senses at this moment, propped his hands on the ground, stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly ordered the jailer to invite Wu Zuo to come over for an autopsy.

Wu Zuo hurried over, and after the autopsy, he respectfully said: "Master, this man bit his tongue and killed himself."

Mo Zhennan took a staggered step, supporting his body with his hands on the stone bed.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the tall and tall Wei Qi, and the words that the storyteller said before his death flooded into his mind instantly.

Wei Guokun, you are a thief!

You are the son of a dog thief!
Wei Guokun is a dog thief...

The young man next to Ah Heng is the son of a dog thief...

Mo Zhennan seemed to realize something suddenly, his pupils dilated instantly, his face was pale, and his blood was suddenly cold. Thinking of the unrestrained words of the storyteller before he died, Mo Zhennan's body trembled like chaff.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his limbs felt weak.

He secretly scolded Mr. Storyteller for hurting him.

Panicked, Mo Zhennan stepped on vain steps, and knelt down at Wei Qi's feet with a plop.

"I have no eyes, I don't know His Royal Highness is coming, and there are many offenses. I hope His Highness will forgive me."

The voice was uncontrollably trembling and terrified.

"Lord Mo, you are so courageous!" Wei Qi looked condescendingly at Mo Zhennan, his young face was filled with overwhelming anger, "You actually allowed him to openly insult the emperor, what should you do?"

Mo Zhennan's heart skipped a beat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he shouted, "Your Highness is wronged."

"If the minister knew that this guy would say such treasonous things, he would have been dragged out and beheaded a long time ago. I hope His Highness will see clearly."

Mo Zhennan shouted bad luck in his heart.

If he knew that this guy would say these things about making trouble, he wouldn't dare to bring people here even if he had a hundred courage.

Jun's face was as cold as ice, and Wei Qi stared at him without saying a word.

Mo Zhennan's scalp became numb from the two icy sharp gazes above his head, and his blood suddenly turned cold.

"Don't scare him." Chen Xiao took two steps forward and met Wei Qi's furious eyes, "Uncle Mo didn't know about it, nor did he expect such a thing to happen."

Wei Qi's fire-breathing eyes gouged out him fiercely, "Are you teaching me what to do?"

Chen Xiao frowned, knowing that what the storyteller said before his death angered Wei Qi's Ni Lin, and from this, it can be seen that there is indeed a group of unknown forces within the Great Zhou Dynasty that are opposing the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This group of people is hiding in the dark, like poisonous scorpions lurking in the dark night, and they are planning to subvert the people's impression of the Great Zhou Dynasty in an organized and premeditated manner, so as to cause chaos.

The 35 people missing in Anling County are most likely the "masterpiece" of this group of people.

It is not known how many similar cases will happen in the future.

Chen Xiao knew that Wei Qi was really angry at this point.

Rather than being angry at Mo Zhennan's ineffectiveness.

It's just that he is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, and Mo Zhennan just happens to be the punching bag for this unlucky man.

With lowered eyes, Chen Xiao gently opened his thin lips: "Don't dare."

Wei Qi snorted coldly.

Turn your back.

Chen Xiao bent down to help Mo Zhennan up, Mo Zhennan looked at Wei Qi's cold back, without his permission, Mo Zhennan didn't dare to get up without permission, and looked at Chen Xiao as if he was about to cry Shake your head.

Chen Xiao: "Your Highness."

Wei Qi turned his head to look at him, seeing his indifferent look, he snorted again, his eyes moved down, and fell on the slightly trembling Mo Zhennan like a handout.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Mo Zhennan hurriedly thanked him, kowtowed several times before getting up.

Standing beside Chen Xiao in a panic, feeling uneasy in his heart.

There was no sound in the cell.

Mo Zhennan could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

He was even more disturbed.

There are countless questions in my heart that I can't figure out.

He couldn't figure out why the crown prince came to Anling County for such a big event, why didn't he hear the relevant notification from the local officials along the way?

"Uncle Mo."

Chen Xiao's faint voice interrupted Mo Zhennan's thoughts.

He looked at Chen Xiao blankly.

Chen Xiao looked back expressionlessly and glanced at the ruined corpse on the stone bed, his attitude was humble and polite, but what he said made Mo Zhennan horrified.

"It's hard for Uncle Mo to release the news of Mr. Storyteller's death."

After a pause, he added: "Hang the corpse at the city gate for three days."

"During the period, people were sent to keep an eye on it in the dark, and all the people who came to watch the corpse must be recorded."

The heart that had just stabilized was pounding again.

Fear is infinitely magnified in my heart.

Mo Zhennan didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly ordered the jailer to do so.

……

Qi Mansion Study Room.

Wei Qi lifted the hem of his clothes and sat on the grand teacher's chair. He stretched out his hand to pinch the sore corners of his eyes, and his tone showed a bit of fatigue.

"Will it be useful to lure the snake out of the hole?"

Chen Xiao folded his sleeves and poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at him and said, "See if he's heavy."

The room was quiet, with sunlight streaming in through the windows.

The golden light is so warm every year.

The mottled tree shadows swayed and swayed with the wind.

Two gray sparrows landed on the window sill, chirping non-stop.

The golden cicadas are chirping outside the window, and the cicadas are loud and clear.

Wei Qi raised his head, his amber eyes stared blankly at the roof, and the past reappeared in front of his eyes.

At that time, Wei Guokun, as the general of Daliang, was deeply loved and supported by the people and the common people. At that time, the court officials who appeared to be harmonious on the surface had already had cracks inside.

There were two major factions in the imperial court. One was the Peaceful faction represented by Zhong Shanghui. They firmly disagreed with the war with Beidi and believed that war was evil. Weakening from war is really the worst policy.

Therefore, the Zhuhe faction agreed with Beidi's request and agreed that the imperial court would pay Beidi ten thousand taels of gold and silver and grain ten thousand stones every year, so as to achieve harmonious coexistence between the two countries.

The main combat faction denounced the main peace faction for being weak and incompetent, and did not dare to conflict with Beidi.

The war faction believes that Beidi is ambitious and has always wanted to annex Daliang. They will not give up this piece of fat just because Daliang pays tribute every year. Instead, blindly seeking peace will only make Beidi more rampant.

Intensified.

Appetite is growing.

They unanimously asked Emperor Hong Tai to send General Wei Guokun to lead troops to attack Beidi, in order to demonstrate the national prestige of our great Liang.

Emperor Hong Tai himself belonged to the school of peace.

As a result, the main combat faction represented by Dai Minqiao soon lost the favor of Emperor Hong Tai.

Beidi's appetite is also getting bigger and bigger as the main fighters expected.

Although there is no war between the two countries, and it looks harmonious and stable on the surface, the common people have long been unable to bear the higher and higher tribute.

At this time, the main combat faction represented by Dai Minqiao turned around and joined Wei Guokun's command.

Coincidentally, Wei Guokun also advocated war. He fought with the Beidi people for a long time in his early years. He knew the wolf ambition of these grassland warriors.

Seeing that the glory of Daliang is long gone, if this continues, Beidi people can easily take Daliang without any effort.

Wei Guokun was worried.

In the end, after many discussions among these main combat factions, Emperor Hong Tai was no longer reliable. They decided to recruit troops and train them in case of emergencies.

At this time, Daliang, even the army was deserted.

It has become the norm for soldiers not to go to the school field for training.

Emperor Hongtai became more and more arrogant and extravagant, and the main fighters were heartbroken.

Another year, when the people were miserable and the national treasury was short of money, Emperor Hong Tai actually wanted to build a palace, wasting money and wasting money, just to win the smile of the beauties.

Faced with Beidi's growing appetite, Daliang is in danger, and the people's life is becoming more and more difficult. However, Emperor Hong Tai and these peacemakers are still immersed in pleasure, not knowing the suffering of the people, and not knowing that the country will be lost.

Finally, they couldn't take it anymore.

On that night five years ago, Wei Guokun led his troops into the Golden Luan Hall, and the Imperial Forest Army, which had been neglected in training, was no match for Wei Guokun's men. They fled and died.

In the end, Wei Guokun won a complete victory.

Thinking that the Zhuhe faction had made contributions to the imperial court, Wei Guokun released all these people. However, sincerity cannot be exchanged for sincerity.

These people scolded Emperor Gaozu of Zhou everywhere, and some even started to form an army, trying to break into the palace and kill the dog emperor.

The Zhuhe faction completely broke face with Wei Guokun.

become his hostile forces.

Emperor Gaozu of the Later Zhou Dynasty planned to catch them all in one go, but unexpectedly, there are still some fish that escaped the net today.

Wei Qi sighed quietly.

"Do you also think my father did something wrong?"

Back then, with the support of the crowd, Wei Guokun rebelled, stormed into the Golden Luan Hall, held Hong Taidi and others hostage in one fell swoop, and forced him to abdicate.

As a result, Daliang perished and the Great Zhou Dynasty was born.

And Wei Guokun became the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a matter of course.

How can Chen Xiao, a mere commoner, judge the emperor's right and wrong?
but--

Chen Xiao said indifferently: "It is up to future generations to judge whether it is merit or demerit."

Wei Qi sat upright, looked at the cold and dignified young man opposite him, and didn't speak.

But in my heart I agree with his words.
