Fisherman's Song Dynasty

It is still the new year, and ordinary people are still enjoying the rare lazy sleep in a year, but the shopkeeper and the staff of the Qingqiu Inn have already been arrested, standing far outside the door against the cold wind, covered in Shivering, not only because of the cold, but more because of being frightened.

The entire inn was filled with brightly armored imperial troops within a radius of [-] meters, and the place was completely surrounded. The sharp spears and knives were shining white in the rising sun, and they looked as if they were facing an enemy. appearance.

The innkeeper secretly complained, he was open for business, although he didn't know who these officials were here to arrest, but who would dare to live in his inn after such a commotion?Just as he was sighing, a few guards who entered the store first to arrest people came out, holding a person tightly in their hands, with unkempt hair and face reeking of alcohol, his eyes were still red after a hangover.

"Who dares to catch me? Don't let me go quickly?" The drunk man yelled and struggled for a while with his head held high, but a thick iron chain was put on his neck, and his hands and feet were tied tightly together, so he couldn't move at all.

Immediately afterwards, two more people were escorted out, a man and a woman, the man was as strong as a cow, and the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, but they did not resist too much, the man was downcast, while the woman was cold Looking at the drunk man coldly, Judu didn't say a word and let the imperial army take them away.

The imperial army came and went like the wind, and quickly disappeared outside the inn. Everything in the street was as usual, and it seemed that what happened just now didn't happen at all.

Xu Zizhen was put on a black cloth cover, his face was completely covered, he couldn't see the outside at all, and the people outside couldn't see what he looked like. After a while, he was taken to a place, and the guards who escorted him were very rough. He slammed him to the ground, and then there was a bang like a door closing.

The ground was crushed mud, cold and hard. Xu Zizhen's back ached from the fall. He cursed and sat up. His hands and wrists were tied, but fortunately they were not tied behind his back. The cloth cover was taken off, and when I looked around, I saw that I was in a big house with high beams and a small skylight on the top, and there were no other windows, only one door was closed tightly.

Da Ye and Zhuo Ya were right next to him, which reassured him that his arrest was not part of the plan, which made him a little surprised, but he believed that the old fox Xiao Taishi would not be willing to let him just die.

No window on the wall does not mean that no one can peek at it, and he dare not say anything to Da Ye now, he just winked secretly, and then yelled loudly: "Come here! What the hell is this place? Why? Capture Lao Tzu? Let Lao Tzu jump out if he is alive!"

Oh Ye also started to curse, it was noisy, but there was no sound outside the door, no one paid attention to them at all, Zhuo Ya still sat beside him quietly, expressionless, didn't even bother to look at Xu Zizhen.

Above the court hall, Xia Chongzong and Li Qianshun sat listlessly with a tired face, yawned a lot and asked, "What else do you have? If you have nothing to do, you can leave."

The eunuch next to him opened his mouth and was about to call out the word retreat, when he saw a person standing out from the hall: "I have a book to play!"

The one who stood up was Mou Xianting, a privy envoy who is also a staunch supporter of the current Emperor Daxia. Chongzong could only ask lazily, "What's the matter with Mou Qing? Tell me."

Mou Xianting's expression was serious: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Xu Zizhen spread rumors in a restaurant in the market yesterday to discuss government affairs, and the minister has arrested him."

"Xu Zizhen?" Chongzong was taken aback for a moment, then woke up abruptly, "You arrested him? What rumor did he make?"

Mou Xianting's expression remained the same, and he said unhurriedly: "This man can predict the affairs of the world by falsely claiming that he can predict... which prince your majesty will succeed."

Wow!There was a sudden commotion in the whole court.

Discussing state affairs is already a capital offense, let alone talking about the succession to the throne, how can this be discussed by a small grassroots person?Moreover, everyone present about Xu Zizhen's matter knew that he was not even considered a citizen of Daxia, he could only be said to be a Song Dynasty defector.

Chongzong's complexion also looked unsightly, but he didn't get angry, he just suppressed his displeasure and said, "This man is credited with saving Luo'er, besides, Luo'er has... Mou Aiqing, you, let him go."

He didn't say everything, but everyone knew what the emperor wanted to say. Originally, Princess Yuping was going to marry Xu Zizhen, but now the emperor just changed the princess to Mou Xianting's son, so he owed Xu Zizhen more or less emotionally.

But Mou Xianting didn't receive the edict: "Think twice, Your Majesty. This man is arrogant and bold. If he is allowed to leave, there will be no guarantee that he will speak nonsense again. Your Majesty's reputation must not be tarnished, let alone the defeat of the Eastern Expedition Army. People rose up, so I think that Xu Zizhen will never stay again! Please learn from your Majesty!" After saying that, he bowed down and fell to the ground.

Having said that, it is already very clear that Mou Xianting is loyal to the emperor and will never allow the imperial power to be insulted or slandered, so Xu Zizhen's death is justified. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty turned their eyes to the silent Grand Master Xiao standing aside, The two have always been mortal enemies. According to the old habits, if one impeaches someone, the other will definitely protect it. But today everyone was a little disappointed. Grand Master Xiao didn't react at all, as if he was asleep.

No one in the court objected, and officials from Mou Xianting's faction even voiced their approval. Chongzong's expression kept changing, and he stood up suddenly. The eunuch shouted loudly: "Retire!"

The emperor didn't speak, but Mou Xianting had already got the answer.

……

In that unknown room, Xu Zizhen had stopped shouting. For an entire hour, no one paid attention to him. His voice was smoky. He simply lay down on the ground and looked at the roof leisurely, humming. An unknown ditty, but he was thinking about it in his mind.

Few people know about my plan, besides myself and Da Ye, there is another disagreement, and now there are only a few Chongzong Li Qianshun, the less people know about Infernal Affairs, the better, otherwise, they will die miserably. It's just that now he's a little uncertain, wondering if Chongzong, the old fox, will cooperate with him, and if he can cooperate well.

The sky was getting dark, and it had been a whole day since he was arrested in the morning. Xu Zizhen was already screaming with hunger, but the team of imperial guards who arrested him seemed to have forgotten them, and they didn't even have a bowl of water send it in.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of unlocking the door, and then a rough guard walked in, holding a food box in his hand, followed by two tall and powerful imperial guards.

Inside the food box were three big sea bowls, a big piece of fat dripping meat was piled on top of a bowl full of rice, a pair of chopsticks were inserted at an angle, and the aroma was tangy.

Xu Zizhen was so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back. At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his chin to the two imperial guards: "Come here, take this thing off for me." After speaking, he raised his wrist and ironed The chain jingled.

"you……"

One of the imperial guards was furious, the other patted him on the shoulder, and said with a sneer, "Why bother with him, let him finish eating and go on the road quickly, don't dawdle."

Yo, cut off the meal?
