Chapter 165 Volume [-] Prison Calamity

"Quick, hurry up and catch up..."


On the originally noisy market, a group of armored troops suddenly swarmed.It was General Zhenbei and Prince Deqing who led the team. As soon as they appeared, the crowd on the street suddenly dispersed to both sides, hiding as far as they could, for fear of being hurt.


"What happened?"


Among the crowd, someone asked quietly.They were all taken aback by the battle in front of them.


"Who knows? Maybe a certain official committed a crime." It is not uncommon to ransack homes and exterminate clans.


"..."


From a low guess, the long team had already moved forward, and soon they would disappear.


In front of the prime minister's mansion, the servants guarding the gate were shocked when they saw such a large number of guards in armor suddenly rushing in.


Prince Deqing wore a blue brocade robe and rode a white horse; General Zhenbei was dressed in silver armor, with long hair and high buns, riding majestically on a brown horse, standing side by side with Prince Deqing.With a wave of his hand, the guards behind him also stopped.


Prince Deqing glanced majestically at the servants guarding the gate, his expression proud and serious.Opened the mouth and said:


"Where's your husband?"


After hearing his question, the two servants came back to their senses, walked up to them and saluted them.


"I have met the prince and the general." These two people used to appear at the birthday party of the prime minister.


Lord Deqing nodded and motioned for them to get up.


"Go back to the prince, the prime minister is in the mansion." One of the servants cupped his hands and replied.


Lord Deqing and Zheng Shaochu looked at each other, and then Zheng Shaochu said:

"Go, let your Xiangye come to receive the order."


When the two servants saw this posture, they were afraid that something might happen.Not daring to neglect, he hurriedly bowed to the two of them.Then one of the servants quickly ran towards the house.


"Master, master is not good."


The servant's hurried footsteps sounded in the courtyard, shouting as he ran, and the birds and butterflies fluttered away in fright.


"What's the panic?" Qiu Moyan came out from the hall, glaring at the servant angrily.


"What's the proper way to yell like this?"


"Master, calm down." The servant hurriedly bowed to him, and then said in a hurry.


"Master, Prince Deqing and General Zhenbei led a large group of troops outside the mansion, and the general asked you to receive the order." It seems that something big happened, look at the battle.When did so many guards appear in the prime minister's mansion?Moreover, the faces of General Zhenbei and Prince Deqing were solemn.


Qiu Moyan was taken aback by what the servant said, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.Could it be that something was found out by them?His heart was pounding and his brows were furrowed.


"Let's go, go and have a look." That's all, if they really found out, there's nothing they can do about it. It's a disaster that can't be avoided, and I hope he won't be caught.


As soon as he raised his sleeves, he passed the servants and walked outside.The sun shone on him, and there was a bit of unexpected coldness.


"Your Majesty, General, your presence here really makes the mansion flourish."


As soon as Qiu Moyan got outside the gate, he saw the majestic guards in armor. The sun fell on them, reflecting the glaring light. He was also a little surprised in his heart. Sure enough, the visitors were not good, and even the Imperial Forest Army was sent out.But his face did not reveal what was in his heart at all, he cupped his hands towards Prince Deqing and Zheng Shaochu who were sitting on horseback with a polite smile.


"Master Xiang is polite." Prince Deqing replied indifferently, looking at Qiu Moyan's calm appearance, he really couldn't see any flaws.


"The general and the prince are here to announce the decree today." General Zhenbei said solemnly, glanced at Qiu Moyan with tiger eyes, took out the imperial decree issued by the emperor and began to read it.


"Prime Minister Qiu Moyan accepts the order."


Qiu Moyan was startled, then he knelt down and kowtowed obediently:


"Chen Qiu Moyan accepts the order."


Prince Deqing and Zheng Shaochu glanced at him, and Zheng Shaochu unfolded the imperial decree and read it according to the decree:

"By God's blessing, the emperor said. Prime Minister Qiu Moyan colluded with the killer and assassinated the queen in the hunting ground. King Deqing and General Zhenbei have full authority to investigate this case. The suspect Qiu Moyan is now in custody and temporarily sealed as the prime minister's mansion. .”


As soon as this sacred intention came out, Qiu Moyan was completely stunned. He only thought that maybe the emperor might have doubts about him, but he didn't expect that they would know that he had a connection with the Killer Clan, let alone that the emperor would take him into custody, and even The prime minister's mansion was temporarily sealed.


General Zhenbei glanced coldly at the stunned Qiu Moyan, and raised his lips:

"Prime Minister, thank you."


Qiu Moyan looked a little numb, then kowtowed.


"Long live, long live, my emperor."


Zheng Shaochu handed over the imperial decree to him, then turned around and raised his hand, and ordered to the Imperial Forest Army behind him:

"Search for me, thoroughly investigate suspicious things."


"Yes."


The uniform voice echoed loudly.The Imperial Forest Army lined up and rushed into the prime minister's mansion, scaring the whole mansion into a panic.


But Qiu Moyan just knelt on the ground with a completely stunned expression.In other words, he doesn't know how to react now, and he doesn't have the ability to stop them.


A moment later, after searching through boxes and cabinets, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in a mess.


"Report." An armored Imperial Forest Army trotted out and knelt down in front of King Deqing and General Zhenbei.A silver token is presented in both hands.


"Go back to the lord, general, and my subordinates found a token in the dark compartment of the study."


After Qiu Moyan heard the word token, his expression changed.


Prince Deqing and Zheng Shaochu looked at each other, not missing Qiu Moyanbian's expression.Zheng Shaochu took the token and took a look at it with Prince Deqing, and immediately understood that it was indeed the token of the killer family.


"Master, what else do you have to say now?"


Qiu Moyan's legs went limp, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.It's over, I'm afraid it's really bad luck this time.


Zheng Shaochu raised his hand and shouted:

"take away."


The two imperial guards had just set up Qiu Moyan when Qiu Fei'er came back.He was startled when he saw the battle outside the mansion, and even more panicked when he saw his father being held up by the Imperial Forest Army.He trotted forward and asked:


"Dad, what's going on? What's wrong with you? Why did they arrest you?"
