Chapter 374 There is nothing wrong with the uncle’s murder of his mother. Cao Jingqian has the most unbreakable karma! 【Please subscribe】

"Mother, please save the child!"

"Don't catch me!"

Alai never expected that after answering the officer's question, he would arrest him.

Looking at the powerful government officials who came up to him, Alai was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted.

Hearing Alai's cry, Mrs. Cao hurried over. Seeing that these government officials were about to take someone violently, she became furious, knocked her crutch on the table, and stood next to Alai as if protecting a calf. Confronting all the officials, he said:

"stop!"

"My Qian'er is the uncle of the dynasty. Which of you dares to touch him?"

"I want to go to the palace and see who gave you the courage to arrest my uncle!"

When the head officer saw this, he frowned, secretly thinking that this old woman was a bit naughty.

"Then Yan Aiqing dares to impeach my uncle in front of all the civil and military officials. I think what is written in this memorial is not groundless!"

Such a big thing happened at home, and in the end there was no one to discuss it?
She was worried.

"Even Minister Cao has been arrested and taken to the Sanfa Division!"

For a moment, I was silent, not knowing what to say?
"take away!"

At this time, the government officials did not hesitate. They cuffed Cao Jingqian's hands with chains and took him out of the house.

Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it and hurriedly helped Concubine Lan up and said earnestly:

Not long after Alai was taken away, Mrs. Cao got on the sedan and rushed to the palace.

"My beloved concubine, please get up quickly."

Please ask her to come forward and let Sheng Wang be free.

After all, these officials knew that this old lady was Concubine Lan's biological mother.

Concubine Lan thought for a while and replied seriously:

Besides, after Zhao Zhen left the morning court, he took the two memorials to Concubine Lan's bedroom.

"Someone in the court will impeach him for practicing favoritism and cheating the public," the official replied.

The top priority is to quickly find her daughter Cao Lanyun, also known as Concubine Lan.

It was probably Qian'er's previous big disaster!
……

"If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can go to the palace and ask and you will find out. If you resist arrest like this, be careful to turn around and accuse you, the Cao family, of resisting and disobeying the decree!"

"Your Majesty, someone is clearly framing our Cao family!"

"From my perspective, this matter is entirely your third brother's fault."

Even though Mrs. Cao couldn't bear it, she was helpless.

Mrs. Cao was startled: "This..."

When Mrs. Cao heard these words, she was so frightened that she lost her soul and lost her mind. She was so surprised that she lost her voice:
"what?!"

"My beloved concubine, I have heard that this third brother of yours was recognized by the old lady only a few months ago. Do you know that she is your beloved concubine?"

Saw this scene.

……

As soon as he thought of this, an idea flashed through the mind of the officer, and he said to Mrs. Cao:
"Old madam, we are also acting according to orders, so don't make things difficult for us!"

Mrs. Cao has probably guessed the reason why her two sons were imprisoned this time.

"Ordering the arrest of Cao Jingqian and sending him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments is the Holy Order!"

After reading these two memorials, Concubine Lan was so shocked that her beauty turned pale, her eyebrows knitted tightly, and she knelt down to Zhao Zhen:

After finishing his words, Zhao Zhen paused and said seriously:

It’s really frustrating!

These government officials who dared to come to visit us most likely had the Holy Spirit's will.

Now that she is old, if she is accidentally injured during the arrest, she will definitely be in trouble later.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the officer took advantage of this gap and shouted to the left and right again.

In fact.

If not, how dare you kidnap the uncle of the current dynasty?
Besides, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but feel a little confused when she learned that Cao Jingxiu had been sent to the Sanfa Division.

"Whether it's an exaggeration or a lie, Mrs. Xiangbi should understand."

"Cao Jingxiu is a loyal and upright person, and he is filial and obedient, so he is partial to him."

"Xiu'er was also taken away? How could this happen? What happened?"

"My mother told me about my third brother. She said that he had been lonely since he was a child and had to beg for food and wander around until he became an adult. Judging from my concubines, he probably has some business spirit. But based on the memorial, it is a bit exaggerated to say that he killed someone. ?”

"Your Majesty, please investigate closely!"

She couldn't help but look at Cao Jingqian.

Zhao Zhen didn't argue anything, he just spoke calmly.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the noble concubine, Mrs. Cao outside the palace is asking for an audience."

Just at this moment, a maid came into the palace to report.

"Hurry up and announce his entry."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen and Concubine Lan looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, the Holy Master urged them.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid responded.

Turned around and left the palace gate.

In a moment, Mrs. Cao came to the depths of the palace and met Concubine Lan.

She didn't expect that the Holy One was still here.

Just as he was about to embrace Concubine Lan, he paused and bowed to Zhao Zhen before standing aside.

Concubine Lan saw her mother's worried look and quickly spoke first:

"Mom, my daughter has heard about the family affairs."

"My daughter would like to ask, is it true that my third brother, as mentioned in the memorial, gathered people to gamble, bullied men and women, preyed on the common people, and killed his wife instead of raping him?"

"Is the eldest brother really cheating for personal gain and violating the law for his third brother?"

"Please mother, please don't lie to me."

"If someone falsely accuses me, the Holy Spirit is here to make the decision for my family!"

"Yun...Yun'er..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao suddenly had a lump in her throat and could not speak.

How dare she lie when the emperor is in front of her.

He could only nod his head and said regretfully:

"Yes...it's the truth."

"It's just that your Qiandi's murder was an accident. It was because the Zuo family's gang had robbed the money before, and Zuo Sanglu wanted to kill someone to silence him again, so he accidentally killed him."

Hearing this, Concubine Lan felt her body soften and her eyes were full of disbelief. She murmured:
"what?!"

"Is it...all true?"

Concubine Lan never expected that most of the things were true!
In this way, even if the Holy One wanted to excuse the Cao family, there was nothing he could do.

Mrs. Cao suddenly knelt down and cried to the two of them with tears streaming down her face:
"Yun'er, mother is here just to beg you to save your humble brother!"

"Your Majesty, I sincerely ask you to be open-minded and let Cao Jingqian go!"

"I...I am willing to die for him. Anyway, I have lived enough at this old age..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Cao sobbed and fell down.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Lan was startled.

Zhao Zhen also hurriedly ordered to send the imperial doctor!

Mrs. Cao was frightened when she learned that her two sons were in prison. In addition, she arrived in a hurry all the way to the palace, and she suddenly became so angry that she passed out.

……

……

the other side.

After the Alai was taken away by the Yamen, he was imprisoned.

Maybe there is still someone who is the uncle of the country and has not yet been sentenced.

Or perhaps, His Majesty has never chosen anyone to try the case. He has been in jail these past few days and has been in peace.

On this day, after finishing his prison meal, he fell asleep leaning against the wall in a drowsy state, when he heard two patrolling jailers whispering:

"Did you hear that?"

"The Cao family is doomed!"

"The day before yesterday, Madam Cao fainted when she entered the palace. She still hasn't woken up yet?"

"The two uncles are in prison, and Concubine Nalan has not sent anyone to take care of them, so they probably won't care anymore." "..."

Although the voice was intermittent, Alai could hear it clearly.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai.

"The Cao family is going to end, then I'm going to die?"

"What should I do, what should I do..."

Alai looked blankly at the dark cell, shouting in his heart, and veins popped out on his face.

……

……

Mrs. Cao woke up again three days later.

In the past few days, Concubine Lan had been taking good care of her.

"Yun'er, why are you still here?"

"Where are Xiu'er and Qian'er? Are they okay?"

Mrs. Cao opened her eyes and looked at Concubine Lan who was waiting in front of her, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked her.

"Mom, the eldest brother and the third brother are fine."

Concubine Lan said softly.

"Then what does the Holy One plan to do with your eldest brother and third brother?"

Mrs. Cao was not in the mood to drink the decoction brought by Concubine Lan, so she asked with concern.

Concubine Lan's graceful face was startled and she advised:

"Mother, please don't get involved in this matter. His Majesty will appoint ministers to investigate the matter thoroughly. If the eldest brother and the third brother are wronged, they will be given justice."

Having said this, Mrs. Cao became a little sulky. She straightened her face and preached to Concubine Lan:
"Yun'er, those are your eldest brother and third brother after all!"

"The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, how could you just sit back and watch?"

"Help me up, I want to go to the prison and see your humble brother."

Concubine Lan had wanted to visit her for a long time, but Mrs. Cao fell ill and she couldn't get away. Even if her mother didn't tell her, she had this intention.

"Mom, don't be anxious. Drink the medicine first. It won't be too late for us to go."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao was willing to drink the bowl of medicinal soup.

Soon, the two cleaned up and went to the prison cell of the Criminal Department, accompanied by several maids.

When the captain in charge of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment learned that the imperial concubine wanted to visit the prison, he naturally would not refuse. He immediately accompanied her in person and took her in.

"Cao Jingqian, your family is here to see you."

The jailer opened the cell door and shouted to Alai inside.

After hearing this, Alai stood up in shock and looked at Mrs. Cao and Concubine Lan outside the door. His face that had been haggard for many days became a little brighter.

But when looking at Mrs. Cao, a hint of viciousness clearly flashed through her eyes.

"Qian'er, you have lost weight."

Arriving in the dungeon, Mrs. Cao walked into the cell and couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Alai's thin figure.

"Mom, my child is locked up here every day. It's hard for him not to lose weight. When can he get out?"

Alai cried, describing the situation of the past few days.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao felt pity for him and tried to give him a hug to express her comfort.

clinker.

at this time.

Suddenly, the Alai took out a sharp dagger from nowhere and pointed it directly at Mrs. Cao's throat!
"Brother Qian, what are you doing?!"

Seeing this scene, Concubine Lan was shocked and immediately scolded him.

Hearing this, Alai showed his true colors and sneered:

"What?"

"I want to find a way out for myself."

"Hurry up and prepare ten thousand taels of silver notes, and get me a carriage. I will kill this old woman later!"

Seeing this, Concubine Lan was extremely angry. She stretched out her jade hand and cursed at Alai:

"Be brave, she is your biological mother, how dare you kill your mother?"

As soon as Alai put away the dagger, Mrs. Cao's throat was suddenly cut open, and eye-catching blood flowed out:
"I can't control that much!"

"Go!"

Concubine Lan was stunned. She didn't expect that Cao Jingqian would really dare to attack her mother.

After coming back to her senses, she cursed:
"Cao Jingqian, you are worthy of being a son of man!"

But after scolding her, Concubine Lan was still unwilling to give in and did exactly what Alai said:
"Captain Liu, quickly prepare a carriage as he said."

"Chao'er, when you return to the palace, go get the ten thousand taels of silver notes in my name."

"This……"

At first, Lieutenant Liu was a little hesitant.

But looking at Concubine Lan's beautiful eyes with evil eyes, she didn't dare to bite and quickly agreed.

As for the maid named "Chao'er", she quickly left the dungeon and ran towards the palace.

……

……

In less than an hour, the news that Cao Jingqian was about to kill his mother spread throughout the capital.

Even Master Pang, Master Yan and others were stunned when they heard this.

Who would have thought that Cao Jingqian would be so cruel that he would kill his mother in order to survive!
But the bigger things get, the more it suits him.

In the past few days, the story of the country's uncle preying on the common people and bullying men and dominating women has been spread in the capital.

Most of the people asked the court to execute this uncle!
In any case, after this incident, the Cao family became a joke in Bianjing.

royal palace.

Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard about this.

He knew that Madam Cao loved Cao Jingqian, but he never imagined that this situation would happen now!
Zhao Zhen did not object to Concubine Lan's request for a 10,000-tael silver note and was very supportive.

No matter what, it is important to save Mrs. Cao's life.

This day.

In the cell of the Sanfa Division, Cao Jingxiu sat alone on the ground with a confused expression.

He is still confessing his sins.

Whenever the people were quiet at night, he always thought about whether he was right to obey his mother's wishes and regard foolish filial piety as filial piety; with guilt for his brother Qian, he chose to blindly cover Cao Jingqian's actions, and even tolerated Cao Jingqian without any bottom line. wrong?

When you are in trouble.

Suddenly, there was a click outside the door and the cell was opened.

"Master Cao, the emperor has a decree to let you out."

The jailer came and spoke to him.

"Why?"

Cao Jingxiu frowned subconsciously.

"Alas, Mrs. Cao was held hostage by uncle Cao Xiaoguo, and her life is on the line." the jailer replied.

"what?!"

Hearing this, Cao Jingxiu's pupils shrank and he was shocked.

"What did you say?"

"How can this be?!"

He immediately grabbed the jailer's collar and asked.

"Master Cao, go quickly!" The jailer couldn't get angry and just urged him quickly.

In fact.

He was also dumbfounded when he heard this.

How can a son kill his mother?
"Cao Jingqian!"

At this moment, Cao Jingxiu's eyes suddenly turned red. He shouted angrily and ran out like crazy!

angry!
Furious!
The anger in Cao Jingxiu's heart was like the weeds growing crazily in the field after a spring rain!
He never thought that Cao Jingqian would be so bold and dare to kill his mother!
Ever since Cao Jingqian came to the Cao Mansion, his mother has loved him so much. She held it in her mouth for fear of melting, held it in her hand for fear of falling...

How much trouble he caused outside was all because his mother came out time and time again to apologize to others at the age of sixty!
