Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 315
When he came to the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion, Changsun Wuji, who was like a treasure, ordered fifty soldiers in a row, and specially told them to walk through the streets along the busy city, and "killed" towards the Qin Mansion in a mighty way.

When he came to the Qin Mansion, although Changsun Wuji intended to give Qin Qiong a disgrace, after all, this was also the mansion of the Duke and Marshal of the current dynasty. After guarding the gate of the Qin Mansion outside, Changsun Wuji walked into the gate of the Qin Mansion with ten soldiers with short knives on their waists.

The steward of the Qin family saw that the person leading the soldiers was the uncle of the current dynasty, but he dared not stop them, so he rushed ahead of them and went to the second hall to report to Qin Qiong who was having dinner.

In the second hall, Qin Qiong, Qin Jingniang, Xie Zhongju, Qin Huaiyu, and Princess Yinping were eating. Hearing the butler's report, Qin Qiong frowned. Knowing the ins and outs of this time, he couldn't help turning his eyes to Xie Zhongju.

Xie Zhongju heard that Changsun Wuji led the soldiers to arrest the man, knowing that her identity was exposed, she quickly took off the waist badge, and quietly handed it to Qin Jingniang beside her.

After winking at Qin Jingniang, Xie Zhongju put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, got up and straightened his clothes, obviously ready to be caught.

Changsun Wuji entered the second hall, took a closer look, and instantly recognized the courtier in the picture - Xie Zhongju.

"Marshal Qin, Princess Yinping, and Concubine Qin are doing well these days." Although Changsun Wuji bowed his hands and said hello, his eyes stayed on Xie Zhongju all the time, with a half-smile expression on his face, which clearly showed his affection. trace of heart.

Qin Qiong returned the courtesy and said: "Uncle Guo, do you dare to come to eat after noon?"

"Dinner?" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, beckoned to the soldiers behind him, then pointed to Xie Zhongju at the side with one finger, "Take him away!"

Changsun Wuji's face changed suddenly. Even though Qin Qiong was prepared, he still couldn't turn the corner. He waited until Xie Zhongju was locked up by the soldiers, and then he thought of speaking to stop him.

"Uncle Changsun Guo! What's the reason for coming to my house to arrest people?" Qin Qiong walked slowly into the room while Qin Huaiyu opened his eyes, as if he was about to attack Xie Zhongju's soldiers.

Seeing the Qin family's father and son obstructing him, Changsun Wuji sneered and said: "I was ordered by the holy order to investigate the case of Xiao Rui's sudden death. Marshal Qin dares to obstruct the case from being handled by the chief judge?"

As he spoke, Changsun Wuji took out the shadow figure drawn by Ma Zhou from his sleeve, and said to Qin Qiong, "This is a portrait drawn by Ma Yushi himself. Give it to Marshal Qin as a souvenir!"

"Take this bold thief back to the procuratorate!" With a loud shout almost in protest, Changsun Wuji turned and walked out, stopped halfway and asked Qin Qiong: "Marshal Qin, but I don't know Has He Zudao ever returned from visiting relatives?"

Qin Qiong is well aware of Changsun Wuji's nature of vengeance, seeing him grasping at him now, how can he not know what's on his mind, with a cold face and noncommittal, "Zhudao has not returned from visiting relatives, what do you mean by that?"

"Haven't returned yet?" Staring at Qin Qiong slyly for a few times, Changsun Wuji left a strange and indecipherable sentence, and then strode out of the Qin mansion triumphantly.

"It's fine if you don't come back, the two went together to visit the prison last night!"

Seeing the back of the eldest grandson Wuji leaving, Qin Qiong was immediately sweating. He had heard about the torture of the procuratorate for a long time. Xie Zhongju, a confidant of the eldest grandson empress, how likely is it that he can withstand the procuratorate in the deep palace all the year round? 24 tortures?
Qin Qiong thought about the important thing, how could he still have time to eat, after muttering, he turned around and rushed towards Fangfu.

Fang Yiai and Gao Yang had a hasty lunch, and the worried husband and wife returned to the room together. One sat in front of the tea table with his cheeks in a daze, and the other sat on the couch full of thoughts and embroidered female red. There were sighs and sighs, one after another, in response to the phrase "the husband sings and the woman follows".

Just when the two were sighing from time to time with worries, Qin Qiong, who was rushing all the way, pushed open the door in a panic and walked into the room.

"marshal!"

"uncle!"

Seeing Qin Qiong enter the door, Fang Yiai and Gao Yang got up one after another. The husband and wife were all waiting for the news that Qin Qiong would bring back to inquire. They looked at Qin Qiong full of expectations, obviously wanting to hear good news, not Xie Zhongju's arrest. Catastrophe.

After closing the door, Qin Qiong lightly rubbed his palms and said softly: "Xie Zhongju was taken away by Changsun Wuji!"

"what!"

"how so!"

After the couple exclaimed twice, Fang Yiai took the lead to ask, "Could it be that the imperial guards in the prison painted the portrait of Guichai?"

"That's right! Changsun Wuji took the portrait and went to my house to arrest people. At this moment, Xie Zhongju has probably been taken to the procuratorate!" Qin Qiong clasped his fists at Gao Yang and said, "Your Highness, only you can enter the palace right now. Report this matter to the Empress Empress!"

Gao Yang was well aware of the pros and cons, he tidied up his clothes and nodded in response, and at the same time opened the door and went out, "Okay! I'll enter the palace right now and ask my mother to make a decision!"

After Gao Yang left, Fang Yiai let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "God wants to kill me! Why did Xiao Rui die in the prison, and he died suddenly bleeding from seven holes!"

"I can't control so much right now, you should be prepared. If Xie Zhongju fails to be punished, I'm afraid you will also be caught by the procuratorate!"

Not long after Qin Qiong finished speaking, he was told by the housekeeper that Marshal Qin was in a hurry to find the second son's Fang Xuanling, and then pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Seeing his father's arrival, Fang Yi'ai quickly disappeared from the hesitation in his heart, and only said that Qin Qiong came to visit his injuries, and never mentioned the fact that Xie Zhongju was arrested. After all, if Fang Xuanling knew his alias, it would not only make his elderly father worry. Apart from that, there is no other substantive help.

After Changsun Wuji escorted Xie Zhongju back to the procuratorate, he was anxious to find out that the matter was related to "He Zudao", so he didn't care about whether Ma Zhou was there. He brought out a series of punishments such as the scorpion and the torture stick, and made up his mind that even if he forced him, he would have to force something out.

Sitting behind the official case, Changsun Wuji looked at Xie Zhongju who refused to kneel, stretched out his hand and patted the gavel, and said sharply: "Bold boy, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Xie Zhongju had made up her mind to "grit her teeth and not let go" from the moment Changsun Wuji entered the Qin Mansion to arrest people. She knew that Qin Qiong would definitely try to report this matter to Empress Changsun, and what she had to do at this moment was just a It's just "waiting for words", but in the process of waiting for Empress Changsun to come to rescue, she must suffer a lot of flesh and blood.

Standing in the middle of the hall with his head upright, Xie Zhong raised his eyes to look at the majestic grandson Wuji in the hall, and said coldly: "I am a grassroots person who has never committed a crime, why did you arrest me in this procuratorate?"

"Have you ever committed a crime? I ask you, why did you pretend to be a courtier to visit the prison at night last night? Did you poison Xiao Rui? Or did someone else instigate you to do this?" Changsun Wuji said without saying anything. It is clear that as long as Xie Zhongju pushes the cause of Xiao Rui's death to "He Zudao" alone, she will only become an accomplice. Although she cannot escape death in the end, she will be spared a lot of torture.

Xie Zhongju's seven orifices were exquisite, how could he fail to hear Changsun Wuji's hint, stood on the spot and snorted coldly, then turned his head to the side, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"Bah! How dare you speak hard when things are coming to an end!" Changsun Wuji winked at the yamen servants standing on the hatchback, and the two yamen servants holding water and fire sticks stepped forward in unison, crossed the front ends of the water and fire sticks in their hands, and then turned to each other. Zhun Xie Zhongju's inner knee was pressed down hard, and the knee was affected by the external force, and Xie Zhongju immediately fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop".

Changsun Wuji looked at Xie Zhongju who was kneeling on the ground with a playful face, and said coldly: "Little Shutong, I advise you to be smarter, otherwise I will be tortured to serve you!"

Xie Zhongju knew that she would not escape the torture today, and she only hoped that Empress Changsun would come to rescue her sooner. Knowing that Fang Yiai's pseudonym was involved in many things, she would not reveal any news to Changsun Wuji, so she could only kneel on the ground and keep her mouth shut. Without saying a word, I was even more prepared to be beaten in my heart.

Seeing Xie Zhongju clenched his teeth, Changsun Wuji snorted in cold sweat, then patted the gavel, and said to the yamen servant: "The criminal despises the court, come, let him eat fifty killing sticks first, and then make a fuss about it!"

With an order, the water and fire sticks in the hands of the two yamen guards standing behind Xie Zhongju used all their strength together. After pushing Xie Zhongju to the ground, they raised the heavy water and fire sticks and beat them down fiercely and mercilessly.
