Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 399
No one answered. It turned out that Zhang Xian was the first to be imprisoned and tortured the most. He was already on the verge of death.

He held back his grief and was willing to go to jail in exchange for the lives of everyone. Now that Zhang Xian is dying, what about Yu Peng, Sun Ge and others?What should they do next?
This night, sitting on the stone wall, where can I sleep?He took out a jade bracelet from his bosom, which was exactly what his wife wanted to carry with him.In this cold night, he missed his wife and son very much. If he died, who would take care of them?Especially my wife, what should I do in this life?
He sat on the stone wall blankly, thinking of the battle at Dongting Lake, the arrival of Li Qiaoniang, and the cold war between himself and his wife, and he deeply regretted it.Why did you have to get angry with your wife at that time?This farewell lasted for a few months, because time was running out, and even the waste of those months turned into a deep regret.If time could be turned back, even if it was just a small quarrel, I would never be angry with my wife again.Holding the jade bracelet, he was so crazy about it, he didn't feel the slight pain in his back.

After a while, he suddenly stood up. Although Zhao Deji claimed in the imperial edict that the crime was not as serious as his family members, according to his despicableness, how could he be trusted even if his own sister was able to do it?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he stood up slowly. In the dark night, his bones creaked, but he didn't make a sound.

I want to protect myself wholeheartedly, but in the end, no one can be preserved.

I regret it!If it is Zhuxian Town, it will rise up!

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qin Hui was in a very happy mood that day, Wang Junhua brought back the news of the fourth prince's forgiveness, and in front of Zhao Deji, the lifelong prime minister had also been firmly retained, and everything was at ease.

He was in the center enjoying the beauties singing and dancing, feeling at ease, Wang Junhua accompanied him, and for the first time never scolded him again.

The book boy led Wan Qixiu in, and Qin Hui said enthusiastically, "Thank you for your hard work, let's drink a glass of wine first to relieve the cold."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Wan Qi drank three cups in a row and returned with a smile: "Mr. Qin, today's torture of Yue Pengju has achieved great results..."

"Hahaha, good fight, continue to fight tomorrow, apply all criminal laws, see if he recruits or not."

Wan Teng understood. Although he didn't know what kind of hatred Yue Pengju and his wife had with Qin Hui, there would always be festivals. Qin Hui would seize the opportunity to take revenge. He only followed Qin Hui, so he naturally wanted to make Qin Hui 100% satisfied.He asked again: "Zhang Xian, Yu Peng and others also refused to confess, how should we deal with it?"

Qin Hui was overjoyed and waved his hand: "These foolish and loyal warriors, let them go with Yue Pengju..." Before he finished speaking, he heard Wang Junhua cough, and immediately stopped talking, came to his senses, and remembered the order of the fourth prince.He was indignant, but he couldn't understand why the fourth prince asked to release Yu Peng and others?However, Yue Pengju was a confidant, since he had been eliminated, the others were nothing to be afraid of, and it didn't matter whether he was killed or not, so why bother to offend the fourth prince?After all, his wealth and life are still controlled by the Fourth Prince.

He immediately re-examined: "Forget it, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and only the culprit is to be investigated. These warriors are not in a hurry to deal with it for the time being. You just need to urge Yue Pengju to hold his paintings." In fact, it doesn't matter whether Yue Pengju's paintings are held or not. What he wants is to torture Yue Pengju. Just fun.

Wan Tengyu was in a bit of a dilemma: "No matter how tortured you are, you won't get a confession. Yue Pengju's intention is to let Zhang Xian, Yu Peng and others be willing to confess..."

"Then stop torturing these people first, and mainly punish Yue Pengju."

"Don't worry, Qin Xianggong, my family will order Yue Peng to hold the painting within three days."

"it is good."

"Wan Tuo Zhongcheng, you have made great contributions this time, and the old man will definitely recommend you to be promoted step by step."

"Thank you, Enxiang."

Wan Qixi was full of enthusiasm, and with the help of the prime minister, he would naturally rise to the top in the second half of his life.Qin Hui was also in the mood, although Zhao Deji's suspicion had already prevented people from being called "En Xiang", but at this moment, Wan Qi's "En Xiang" was really just right, he stretched out his arms to hug a dancing girl and kissed her fiercely.

Qin Hui turned his eyes and saw that Wang Junhua was about to show off his female power, when he suddenly heard a hurried voice outside: "Mr. Qin..."

It was Han Zhongliang who broke in.

Qin Hui heaved a sigh of relief, Wan Tuo felt very guilty when he saw Han Zhongliang, and hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.Wang Junhua also hastily withdrew.

After the two bowed to each other perfunctorily, Han Zhongliang said angrily, "Qin Xianggong framed Geng Zhuo earlier, and now he is using Zhang Xian to frame Yue Wu. Don't be afraid of the wrath of the gods of the Taizu's official family if they act so recklessly?"

Qin Hui sneered: "It's His Majesty's order to hold on to the case, so what does it have to do with me?"

"I have inquired many ways. The case of Yue Wuyi has endured many tortures, but there is still no confession. It is obviously an unjust case."

"Although Zhang Xian's letter is not enough to prove it, 'the situation is unfounded' (this sentence is the original words of Qin Hui in the history books, which is the source of the word 'unnecessary')"

Han Zhongliang was furious: "How can the word 'no need to have' convince the world?"

Qin Hui was triumphant: "Don't Mr. Han know that Yue Pengju's incident was ordered by the Holy Spirit to set up a special prison?"

Han Zhongliang was speechless, depressed for a while, shouted "Yue Wu, Yue Wu, you can save me, I can't save you", and then left angrily.

As soon as Han Zhongliang left, Qin Hui immediately went to the palace to report to Zhao Deji, one was the agreement reached by the fourth prince, and the other was the trial of Yue Pengju's case.

Zhao Deji was elated, and immediately arranged for the envoys to go north to welcome the return of Queen Mother Wei in person, and always emphasized the importance of the return of Queen Mother Wei.At the end, Zhao Deji frowned and asked, "How about Yue Pengju's confession?"

Qin Hui was already troubled by this matter, no matter how hard he tortured him, he couldn't get a decent testimony. He figured out Zhao Deji's psychology, and said cunningly: "In Yue Pengju's case, there was a letter from Zhang Xian before, and there were three major crimes against the censor. Yue Pengju and his buddies are stubborn and refuse to confess, and based on these two points alone, the case can be closed."

"Forget it, let's close the case. However, today is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. When will it be delayed?"

Qin Hui said: "After the Lantern Festival..."

Zhao Deji immediately interrupted him: "No, I want to celebrate New Year's Eve. If execution is not good on New Year's Eve, then tomorrow."

Qin Hui naturally had no choice but to agree: "I obey the order."

As soon as Qin Hui left, Zhao Deji hurried back to the bedroom.

Silk and bamboo orchestra, the dancer's waist is as white as a layer of lard that has just started to congeal, sizzling and smelling like meat.

Zhao Deji hugged left and right, drinking happily.

Another glass of wine poured into his throat, and he let out a feigned sigh: "All I have thought about all my life is a peaceful and happy emperor. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the peace talks have been completed and the powerful officials have been eliminated. However, too many people have written to the dog barking recently, and even appealed for Yue Pengju's grievances. He insisted on rejecting the peace talks. What is the intention here?" He looked at the pile of memorials on the case table, "Here are 62 memorials to denounce Qin Hui, among which the memorials of two scholars from Sichuan and Shanxi are the most violent. I am tired of life. But I am magnanimous, and in line with the Taizu's family precepts of protecting those who speak, I burned these sixty memorials and ordered these two memorials to be handed over to Qin Hui..."

Zhang Yingying, who was on the side, was heartbroken when she heard this.She has been with Zhao Deji for more than ten years, and now she knows how the "benevolence" and "insidiousness" of the emperor's art coexist.

Zhang Quwei bowed and smiled and said: "The officials are benevolent. The Shuzi are ignorant. Yao, Shun, Yu Tang, Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, are all a handful of loess, and the true meaning of life is to be happy and happy."

Zhao Deji was overjoyed upon hearing the words, as if enlightened.In his early years, he also dreamed of expelling the Jinren and reviving the mountains and rivers.However, the price in exchange is to keep fleeing.What is a promising king?What is the king of subjugation?If you guard Jiangnan by yourself, you will be a wise king!History books, knives and pens, once a person dies, what is the difference between Yao, Shun, Jie and Zhou?To be happy and happy is to be worthy of a romantic emperor.

The more he thought about it, the more lucid he became: "Zhang Quwei, I will reward you with 100 taels of gold."

"Thank you, officer."

While talking, the eunuch who had been executed a few days ago came back, Zhao Deji rose up and rewarded him with a cup, the eunuch was flattered to drink up the gift from the emperor, and reported: "Officials, the body of the fake princess has been taken away..."

"Who will collect the corpse of that lowly servant girl?"

"It's Hua Rong, and the son-in-law."

Zhao Deji sneered, Bang Wenming declared that the false princess would be exposed to the public for three days, but Hua Rong dared to act recklessly and collected her body in advance.

"Officials, how to deal with Hua Rong?"

Zhao Deji thought for a while, then shook his head: "First monitor her movements closely. Just don't let her escape from Lin'an." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt insecure. He was going to kill Yue Pengju tomorrow. Getting Hua Rong into the palace is a huge problem.

On this issue, he was helpless. After Yue Pengju died, he would occupy his widow by himself. He would definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world. It was completely deviated from what he always advertised as "a benevolent and wise gentleman, not close to women". Moreover, he could not afford such a bad reputation. .However, if Hua Rong were to be released for nothing, the hope of having a son would be completely cut off.

The son's country and the emperor's reputation, which is more important?

He gritted his teeth, why couldn't Hua Rong be like Wang Junhua?Be obedient and smart, wouldn't it be best if there was a spring breeze in the Nuan Pavilion and the womb is dark?
Outside the palace, Eunuch Kang, the great eunuch who is not on duty today, is anxious like ants on a hot pot.Unable to bear it any longer, he took a chance and slipped out of the city quietly.

Wang Jixian's magnificent house was brightly lit, and Mrs. Kang rushed in. Wang Jixian stepped back and took him into the study.As soon as the door was closed, Eunuch Kang hurriedly said, "Haven't you reported it to the officials?"

Wang Jixian's face was livid, and he grabbed his collar: "Damn eunuch, you killed me."

Eunuch Kang was strangled and out of breath: "Wang Jixian, you gave the medicine to the officials, and you can't get rid of it."

Wang Jixian grabbed him fiercely: "Who was it that threatened me that day? How dare you collude with gangsters and endanger your majesty. If I threaten the official family at this time, it will be a heinous crime. Wouldn't it mean that everyone in my family will not be safe?"

Eunuch Kang was strangled and rolled his eyes: "There is an antidote..."

Wang Jixian let go of his hand: "To tell you the truth, the medicine was tested by the old man before it was given to the government. And it has been tested by 7 different methods, and none of them has any toxicity. Don't use this to scare me."

Eunuch Kang stepped back three steps, and said in a neutral tone, "Wang Jixian, the medicine is a witchcraft, so you can't find it out. After two years, you will know the truth... At that time, your whole family will be sentenced to death..."

Wang Jixian had a fierce look in his eyes: "I'll kill you first, and who will know?"

Eunuch Kang took another step back: "If you kill me, the officials will know tomorrow that it was you who gave the medicine. If you don't believe me, just try it."

Wang Jixian rolled his eyes: "If you want to save Yue Pengju, don't even think about it. Otherwise, the two of us will die today without waiting for next year. You have served the official family for many years, so you should know what he is like. If you know this, you The two of us will definitely be executed by him. Officer Kang, you choose for yourself, do you want Yue Pengju's life or mine and yours?"
