On this day, people throughout the city were discussing this matter. After all, it was too big for so many knights in bright yellow armor to enter the city.
You must know that in this world, yellow has basically become the color reserved for emperors.
Therefore, few people in the entire Mingyue City have seen this team, but it does not prevent them from thinking that this is the guard that serves the emperor!
"What's going on? Why did the Imperial City's army appear in Mingyue City?"
"Did something big happen?"
"Looking at the direction they are going, it seems they are heading towards the Chu family."
"Ming Yue Gong, these days are really troubled."
…
While the people in the city were talking a lot, Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru were even more worried. They were completely confused when they heard the news that the imperial envoy was coming.
However, they did not dare to neglect at all and hurried out to greet him.
In the courtyard of the Chu family, two rows of warriors in bright yellow armor stood neatly. A middle-aged man sat leisurely in the center of the courtyard. The servants of the Chu family had already prepared tables, chairs, and fruits.
He was eating grapes leisurely and spitting out grape skins, but everyone in the Chu family was in sharp contrast with him, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
After all, the posture on the other side is really scary.
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru hurried out after hearing the news. Their hearts skipped a beat when they saw this scene. They looked at each other and realized that the other party was not good.
Chu Zhongtian coughed lightly, stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen General Liu. I wonder what kind of wind brought the general here?"
The middle-aged man in front of him is named Liu Yao. He is the general of the Imperial Guard, in charge of the imperial guards of the capital, and he is also a peak ninth-grade expert.
In addition, he also has a distinguished status, that is, he is the uncle of the current queen!
So he looks like a middle-aged man on the outside, but he is actually quite young.
Seeing Chu Zhongtian salute, Liu Yao slowly swallowed a grape, chewed it for a while and then spit the grape skin at Chu Zhongtian's feet.
Qin Wanru couldn't help but became furious, this was simply too much bullying!
Chu Zhongtian secretly held her hand and reminded him not to be impulsive.
Liu Yao then said: "I didn't expect that we only had a one-time relationship in the capital back then, but Mingyue Gong still remembers my name."
Chu Zhongtian smiled slightly: "It's hard for people to forget General Liu's demeanor."
Liu Yao laughed loudly: "Everyone knows that Mr. Yue is loyal and honest, but I think you are also very cunning."
At the same time, he glanced at Qin Wanru who was standing aside, thinking that the rumors were indeed true. Mrs. Mingyue was really a beauty, plump, graceful, gorgeous and charming.
Feeling his aggressive gaze, Qin Wanru frowned and couldn't help but feel secretly angry. However, when he saw the palace guards on the side and thought of his identity, he could only hold back and said: "I didn't know Master Liu was so big."
Zhang Qi
Why did Gudi come to the Chu Mansion?"
"I almost forgot if Mrs. Chu didn't tell me," Liu Yao slapped his head and suddenly stopped smiling, "Someone reported to the court that the Linchuan County Salt Transport Department has left a huge deficit over the years, and all of it has been stolen by you.
The Chu family used it to bribe officials at all levels of the court."
Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru's hearts skipped a beat, and their bodies were already cold. The thunder they had covered up for so many years finally exploded.
However, it was naturally impossible for them to plead guilty with just one sentence, not to mention that the money was not originally from the Chu family's greed.
Chu Zhongtian said: "Our Chu family has always been honest and upright, and we would never do such a thing. I wonder where Master Liu will start from this matter?"
Liu Yao smiled: "Ming Yue Gong, since the emperor sent me here, he naturally has some evidence, which you can't just say in one sentence."
Qin Wanru, who was on the side, also spoke: "May I ask Mr. Liu, you just mentioned that someone reported to the court, who is it? Is it true?"
"Does Madam Chu mean that I have wronged you, or does the emperor intend to frame you?" Liu Yao sneered.
Qin Wanru said in a deep voice: "Of course that's not what I meant. It's just that the Chu family has been in Mingyue City for hundreds of years. It's hard to guarantee that they haven't offended anyone. Maybe these people made false accusations out of thin air."
"Forget it, I will let you give up." If Chu Zhongtian said this to him, Liu Yaocai would not bother to pay attention, but with the mature and beautiful Mrs. Chu, it would be a pleasure to talk to her more.
So he waved to the outside: "Come in."
Soon, a figure walked in timidly. The originally handsome face had long lost its previous appearance, and his eyes kept dodging, showing how guilty he was inside.
"Hong Xingying!" At this time, the Chu family members recognized him, but they still didn't understand what was going on, and they all yelled.
The last time Zu An put down Chu Tiesheng and Hong Zhong's rebellion, when he sent people to arrest him afterwards, he had already left the building empty. He didn't expect to come back so soon.
Being scolded all the time, a flash of anger flashed in Hong Xingying's eyes: "Shut up if you've scolded me enough. I don't know if you will survive tomorrow!"
Everyone became more and more angry, but they were also frightened and uncertain. Looking at the fully armed soldiers under Liu Yao's command, everyone became frightened.
Qin Wanru glared at Hong Xingying: "Let's ask ourselves: The Chu family treats you well, why do you, father and son, betray us one after another?"
"Treat me well?" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hong Xingying's eyes, "I have been working conscientiously for the Chu family for so many years. I have been through life and death many times, just because you hinted that I would marry the eldest lady to me in the future.
If I think about turning around and recruiting a gangster as my son-in-law, then who am I?"
The anger value from Hong Xingying is +714!
"So many years of hard work and dedication are a joke, and even I have become a joke in the eyes of everyone in the Chu family!"
"I am unwilling to give in and want to take back everything that originally belonged to me.
What’s wrong!”
…
Hearing his accusations one by one, Qin Wanru was trembling with anger: "Asshole, I did say that you have a great chance before, but when did I say that I must marry Chu Yan to you? I
Although I am optimistic about you, in the final analysis, it still depends on Chuyan’s own wishes. She chose Azu instead of you, so what can I do.”
"At first I thought she was confused, but now it seems that fortunately Chu Yan didn't choose such an ambitious guy like you, otherwise it would definitely be a big disaster for our Chu family!"
Hong Xingying burst out laughing: "It's useless to talk about this now. I will take back what I lost with my own hands!"
Chu Chuyan is still mine after all, but it's a pity that that guy Zu An has already drunk him!
The anger value from Hong Xingying is +999!
But it doesn’t matter, there is also the second young lady. What you can’t get from the eldest lady, you can get the same thing from her younger sister!
At this moment, Liu Yao on the side became impatient and pushed him aside: "The nonsense is not over yet. Who can show me that I can't help but act like my fate is up to me? It's me who makes the decision here."
Make the decision?"
The anger in Hong Xingying's eyes flashed away, but he knew that he could not afford to offend this man, so he hurriedly saluted and apologized: "General, please forgive me for not controlling my emotions for a while when I returned to my hometown."
"Let's go." Liu Yao snorted and then looked at the Chu couple, "Have you given up completely now?"
Chu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "We are not convinced, and everyone has heard it. This Hong Xing has a grudge against our Chu family, and his father was just suppressed and killed in the Chu family not long ago, so how can what he said count?"
?”
Liu Yao chuckled: "Don't worry, this time I have the emperor's order to thoroughly investigate this matter. After all, this matter is not only related to the Chu family, but also to many important officials in the imperial court."
After saying that, he stopped smiling and directed his men: "Come here, arrest everyone in the Chu family and register them one by one. Don't let anyone slip out."
Hong Xingying's eyes lit up and he volunteered to come forward: "I will lead the way. I am familiar with the Chu family and I know everyone there."
The first thing he thought about was to catch that guy from Zu An, not only to avenge his polygamy, but also to avenge his father's murder.
"Sneeze!" At this time, Zu An was giving an arithmetic class to the students in the college. He couldn't help but sneeze, "Is that guy talking about me again?"
Seeing the anger value records coming from the background, his eyes narrowed: "Hong Xingying!"
At this time, the classroom door was suddenly knocked open.
