The general's wife through time

Chapter 196 Putting out bait

After Xue Tang and Princess Kang entered the hall, the crowd behind them started talking more intensely.

"Don't you think Xue Tang's clothes today are special? It's not like a tailor from Beijing can make them."

"She is really the most beautiful among everyone at first glance."

"I need to inquire carefully when I go back and ask this tailor to make some new sets of clothes for my wife."

Just like that, as we talked, the topic changed. From watching the fun, it turned into a special show for Xue Tang.

"Let me interject, on the Lantern Festival, Xue Tang went to the Si family with King Wuwei. You should know how difficult it is to get along with the old lady of the Si family, but Xue Tang can come to the house from time to time, so think about it carefully. Look Let’s see if you still have the guts to fight Xue Tang.”

"I didn't want to antagonize Princess Wuwei. What you said is not important. What I care about most is which master made the clothes she is wearing."

Qin Huangyuan stood in the cell, looking at Pei Wen kneeling in front of him with a cold expression.

There was a large stain of blood on Pei Wen's forehead, which he knocked on himself. Now he has been completely reduced from a witness to a prisoner.

At this time, a secret guard suddenly fell next to him...

After listening to the secret guard's report, Qin Huangyuan's eyes paused slightly.

That dress...he made it.

It's a pity that there will never be a second one in the world, and those people will never be able to wear it in their lifetimes.

Pei Wen secretly raised his head and glanced at Qin Shuanyuan.

The thing that can make Qin Shuanyuan soften his attitude at this time must be Xue Tang's matter, right? So Xue Tang is not stupid at all. They were all deceived by Qin Shuanyuan and Xue Tang. Qin Shuyuan has been fighting abroad, but their plans have failed repeatedly. Xue Tang must be involved in this, and Xue Tang is Qin Shuyuan's hidden arrow to deal with them. But thinking about it again, Pei Wen felt that it was impossible. Qin Shuanyuan had always been decisive, and it was impossible to spend five years planning...

When the secret guard left, Qin Huangyuan's eyes were like an ice knife severly slicing at Pei Wen, "Allied with the Pei family, abused my brother, humiliated my wife, and wanted to step on my family's success. What Pei Jian did?" , you didn’t just happen to overhear it, you also participated in it. What should I do with your nine tribes, especially the little son you secretly raised outside?”

Qin Huangyuan wants to leave no grass behind!

I don’t know how Qin Huangyuan found him, but if he fell into Qin Huangyuan’s hands, it would not be easy to die happily. He gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Qin Huangyuan again, "Your Majesty."

"If you tell me the name of the remnant, not even a driver will be left behind, and I will consider letting you die more happily." Qin Shuanyuan interrupted him coldly.

Pei Wen's face turned pale instantly, "I, I really don't know."

Qin Huangyuan waved to Mr. Li, turned around and left.

Pei Wen collapsed on the ground, "No, my lord, wait, I remembered. I hid in the dark and overheard Pei Jian talking to some people. I will write down the names of those people."

Capt. Li snorted coldly and threw the pen and paper in front of him, "Why are you making excuses for yourself at this time? Just say that you were with me at the time, and maybe the prince will be less angry."

Qin Huangyuan turned around and said, "I really don't have the patience. You'd better stop playing tricks."

After a while, Pei Wen wrote a list tremblingly.

Li Captou took it and handed it to Qin Huangyuan respectfully, "Your Majesty, the people above are here"

He doesn't know many of the people here!

Qin Huangyuan just glanced at him lightly and said, "Pei Wen, you should know the consequences of deceiving me."

Pei Wen was sweating like rain and said tremblingly: "There are two people who were not sure just now. Now I remember it and I will change it again."

By the time Pei Wen finished revising, it was already a cup of tea later.

Qin Huangyuan didn't even look at it this time, but raised his chin slightly, "Captain Li, let Pei Wen out, and at the same time let out the news, saying that Pei Wen is colluding with the Jianghu, his family was arrested by me, and Pei Wen is on the run."

Pei Wen's face was ashen, and he clung to the door of the cell. His screams spread throughout the prison, "No, I won't get out, you kill me!"

Many of the people he confessed were from the Jianghu, and their methods may be even crueler than Qin Shuanyuan's. If he got out, he would die a terrible death. Qin Huangyuan lowered his eyes and looked at him, "You go out alone and let your nine tribes come in, or let your nine tribes stay outside and stay inside, it's your choice."

No, he didn't want to choose. He would rather die than make fish bait.

Pei Wen stood up suddenly, flew out, and hit the wall with his head.

Captain Li watched him finish the collision, squatted down, breathed, and said in disgust: "Not dead."

He knew that Pei Wen, a weak scholar, could give up his original surname and take the surname Pei in order to live a good life. How could he be willing to die?

"Throw it out!" After saying that, Qin Huangyuan turned around and walked out of the prison.

Wanfu Temple.

After King Kang sent Princess Kang to the main hall, he went to the Zen room to taste tea with the abbot.

At this time, the people in the hall were of different ages, but almost all were women.

The smell of various rouges is mixed together, which is particularly strong.

Xue Tang took Lu Rui and religiously put incense on each Buddha statue.

"The donation starts after half a cup of tea. Princess Wuwei will accompany me to the next door to take a short rest!" Princess Kang said to Xue Tang with a smile.

Xue Tang turned slightly sideways and looked towards the main hall, "No, Princess Kang is going to rest. I'll get to know all the ladies here."

Princess Kang also turned slightly to the side and told the female officer behind her: "Go and call all the family members of officials above the fifth rank and introduce them to Princess Wuwei."

Xue Tang nodded lightly.

She is the Princess of Wuwei, and in this era of strict status hierarchies, this is the right thing to do.

The female officer called over fifty people at once and introduced Xue Tang one by one.

Xue Tang stood there as if she was a born queen, with a cool and arrogant look on her body. Her eyes swept over the crowd and she calmly accepted their worship.

She adapted well, but Princess Liuli next to her sneered, "Oh, a merchant girl, who is she showing off to?"

After Xue Tang finished speaking, she tugged on Princess Kang's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, the Queen Mother pointed her out to you personally. She is the Queen Mother's personal officer. How can she be a maid for just anyone?"

Princess Kang is the eldest daughter of Wu Heng. She is in her twenties and has a round face. She is very approachable when she smiles, and quite intimidating when she is serious.

She glanced at Princess Liuli lightly, pulled her aside, and whispered: "Imperial sister, please be careful what you say. Since Princess Wuwei has become the princess, she is a member of the royal family. Remember, never trust anything." The instigation of others has damaged the majesty of the royal family, especially since I was personally recommended by the queen to host today's fund-raising. You are not only humiliating Xue Tang, but also slapping my mother and me in the face. "

After hearing the whole story, Princess Liuli stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay. I'm not an ignorant person. I can bear it for you."

She could go against Xue Tang, but it was no longer obvious.

Xue Tang stood aside and watched all this at leisure.

Everyone around them held their breath.

Somehow, they seemed to be more in awe of Xue Tang who said nothing than when Xue Tang got angry. They subconsciously avoided Xue Tang's eyes, as if they would be doomed if they were stared at.

Princess Kang also noticed Xue Tang's reaction, and her eyes flashed unconsciously.

The queen mother was right, Mo Ran and Li Meng were not unjust for underestimating their enemies.

At this time, Mrs. Xia smiled so brightly that she came over to smooth things over, "The two princesses and princesses should be tired, so why not go and sit down and chat slowly. Especially Princess Wuwei, it is her first time to participate in a fundraiser, so she must not understand her very well. I'll tell you carefully."
