Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 58
On the night when they were trapped in the secret room, a heavy rain came on the hot day for a long time.

When we came out, the rain had stopped, but the accumulated water was dripping from the blue tiles along the corners of the eaves. The cool air was mixed with the rising rain and mist in the lake. It was a white mist, and a few peach blossoms poking out were faintly visible, shrouded in a layer of smoke. In the color, it looks like a fairyland on earth.

But "Wonderland" has been surrounded by the forbidden army.

The inner three floors and the outer three floors are densely packed, but quiet and orderly.

On the platform at the entrance of the villa, in front of the statue of Mozi, there are rows of Mohists kneeling.They seemed to be asleep in spring, with their heads bowed and their hands cut behind their backs. Both men and women seemed to be a little disheveled, their faces were flushed, as if they were drunk, and the picture was full of joy.

Mo Jiu dragged Wangcai to the side, watching calmly.

I saw Xue Fang shaking his half-wet clothes, held the counting booklet in front of Xiao Qian, and reported: "My lord, when we took down Shangxian Villa, we did not encounter the expected fierce resistance. People seem to have taken the wrong medicine, which is strange. Poor brothers of the Dragon Guards, they came over in the middle of the night, but none of them were abandoned... Only two people almost drowned because they didn't know how to swim. .”

Xiao Qian looked at him coldly.

Xue Fang coughed, and said nervously: "There are two others who are in poor health. They got a cold from the night rain. Cough, other than that, there is no battle damage."

No battle damage, but oolong, Xiao Qian's complexion is no longer pretty.

Xue Fang paused for a moment, feeling that he shouldn't say these words that were detrimental to morale, and said in a serious voice: "In this battle, the brothers of the imperial army rushed like wolves, broke into the enemy's village, and captured the Mohist Ganmen alive with a speed that was invincible. Elder Qiao Zhanping, with one hundred whips and one hundred mosses, ordered him to open the secret room, first to welcome the young prince back from triumph, and then to receive the envoy..."

This flattery is good!Xiao Qian glared at him sideways, looked coldly at Qiao Zhanping, who was covered in scars, and said calmly, "Take the principal criminal back to Beijing, and let the rest go."

"Your subordinate obeys orders." Xue Fang saluted with fists clasped, walked to the front of the statue of Mozi, put his hands on his hips and said loudly, "Listen up, some people in the Mohist family don't respect etiquette, don't respect law and order, and dare to commit crimes and kill the court Commander, his crime shall be punished!"

He used a killing stick first, and then he withdrew his voice: "But the little prince has a kind heart, and the privy envoy has kind eyebrows and eyes... No, he has a soft face and a kind heart, and only the principal culprit will be detained, and he will spare his life. From now on , you should bear it in mind, obey the law and obey the law, and do not do things that despise the court."

Xue Fang said it seriously, but Mo Jiu was secretly surprised.

Xie Bingsheng's death was considered a major case.But at the beginning, Xiao Qian only asked Song Ao to testify lightly, saying that he committed suicide. When Xie Chen got the news, he naturally wouldn't let it go.Then, he can't help Xiao Qian in the court, so he must be secretly playing tricks.In this way, Qiao Zhanping said "Prime Minister Xie will handle it himself" before he opened the mechanism yesterday.

If Qiao Zhanping really colluded with Xie Chen, but Xiao Qian counterattacked and turned Qiao Zhanping into the culprit who killed Xie Bingsheng, then he would not only give the growing Mo family a blow, but also give Xie Chen a resounding slap.

"Little prince, Mr. Xiao, I have something to say!"

In the mist, Shang Ya, who was being escorted to kneel on the ground, suddenly screamed.

"Wait, I have something to say—"

Xiao Qian winked, Xue Fang stood over and shouted loudly, "Say."

Shang Ya knelt on the water-logged ground, her clothes were drenched, red and black were shaking into a ball, like a delicate flower that had been destroyed by a violent storm, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright.She knelt down heavily in front of Song Ao, kowtowed three times, seemed to realize that the little prince had no right to speak, and quickly knelt down in front of Xiao Qian, kowtowing more than once.
