Chapter 466

Guang'an Dao Jingluo Kang Cheng Xiaozheng is working in his mansion as always. The recent affairs in Prince Hui's Mansion have made him very busy and troublesome.

Fortunately, Zhou He's head was cut off and Prince Hui's palace became quiet. The manager who had been pushed to the forefront could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master Kang, are you busy?"

A rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Kang Chengxiao looked up and saw that it was General Zhong Changyan of Anyang County.

"Changyan, why are you here? Sit down." Kang Chengxiao asked with some confusion.

However, from Kang Chengxiao's title, it can be heard that the Anyang County general has a good relationship with him, and there is not much airs between superiors and subordinates in their words.

Zhong Changyan's face looked a little solemn, and he closed the door with his backhand and said: "Something happened. It's a big deal!"

"What's wrong?" Kang Chengxiao's heart tightened. What bothered him the most now was the words "something happened."

Zhong Changyan mysteriously took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Kang Chengxiao: "Read it first."

Kang Chengxiao took the letter in confusion, glanced at it and stood up suddenly, exclaiming: "Changing death row prisoners? How is this possible!"

"Keep your voice down!" Zhong Changyan blocked Kang Chengxiao's mouth and made a silencing gesture.

Kang Chengxiao's face was still full of shock: "Isn't this outrageous? Where did this letter come from? You have to know that the content of this letter refers directly to King Hui, the emperor's uncle!"

Now Kang Chengxiao is in a terrible mood, which has just calmed down and then comes back again. When will this day end?

"Someone sent it to my residence early this morning. It was signed by the steward of Prince Hui's residence." Zhong Changyan said quietly.

"The steward of the palace? Why did he expose King Hui? Can we believe it based on this letter?" Kang Chengxiao couldn't figure out why the steward of the palace would send such a letter.

He also knew a thing or two about the housekeeper of the palace. He was an old man who had been with King Hui for many years and knew a lot of secrets about the palace. If this person was really the one who made the whistleblower, then the matter was most likely true.

"Regardless of whether it is credible or not, we should check it out, right? If it is true, you, the manager, will lose your head if this matter is found out in the future! This is the person who was ordered to be executed by imperial decree!" Zhong Chang

Yan said in a deep voice.

Kang Chengxiao was frightened and asked in a panic: "Then what should we do now? We can't just break into Prince Hui's Mansion and arrest people based on this letter. Breaking into the Prince's Mansion without permission is a serious crime. When the time comes,

If you can’t find anyone, you will still die!”

Kang Chengxiao's worry was not unreasonable. Ordinary soldiers would never dare to enter the palace to search without the emperor's imperial decree. And where did Kang Chengxiao go to get the imperial decree now?

"It's indeed a bit troublesome." Zhong Changyan also frowned, but actually glanced at Kang Chengxiao vaguely from the corner of his eyes.

"Yes!" Kang Chengxiao, who had been thinking for a long time, slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "Didn't the letter say that King Hui will send his son away in a few days? You and your people will quietly guard outside the house.

Catch him as soon as he shows up!"

"Good idea!" Zhong Changyan immediately nodded in agreement.

"Brother Zhong, this matter is entrusted to you!" Kang Chengxiao said solemnly.

"Brother Kang, don't worry!" Zhong Changyan also cupped his hand.

"Without further delay, take your people and set off immediately. I will send people to control the jailers who are related to this matter first, so as not to alert the enemy!" Kang Chengxiao was also a person who made prompt decisions.

"Okay! I will immediately take people to Huizhou City quietly and ambush around the palace!" Zhong Changyan said in a deep voice.

"Remember! If you can't see Zhou He himself, you must not have a conflict with the people from Prince Hui's Mansion!" Kang Chengxiao warned worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kang. I still have this sense of propriety." Zhong Changyan walked out with a smile.

Zhong Changyan strode out of the house feeling refreshed, just because the Yuwen family promised him to take the position of the Protector of Guang'an Road if they captured Zhou He alive.

Huizhou, Huiwang Mansion

On a very quiet night, an inconspicuous carriage was parked outside a small side door of Prince Hui's Mansion. The driver beside the carriage was looking furtively forward and backward, always paying attention to the movements around him.

"Father, mother, I don't want to leave. How about you just let me stay in your house."

Within the courtyard wall, Zhou He was crying and rolling around in front of his parents, unwilling to leave Prince Hui's Mansion.

"My poor son, my mother is reluctant to let you go." Princess Hui held her son's hand and cried loudly: "After so many years, when has my son ever left my mother's side? I don't know how long it will take for me to come back.

Home."

"Woooooo~"



Seeing the mother and son hugging each other and crying, King Hui Zhou Jiaxiang really had a headache and shouted angrily, "Stop crying! Leave quickly! I managed to save your life, let's get out of the city first!"

Originally, King Hui planned to send him away as soon as he was replaced, but the woman insisted on being reunited with her son for a few days, so she had to postpone her departure until today.

Amidst the cries, King Hui pushed Zhou He into the carriage parked outside the door.

"Son, please don't cause trouble when you get out. I'll find a way to bring you back after the news has passed." Zhou Jiaxiang choked.

"Dad, the baby is gone, you and mother take care of yourself!" Zhou He said while crying.

"Go? Where to go?"

Suddenly there was a loud shouting, countless torches were lit up on both sides of the street, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of armored cavalry surrounded the door of Prince Hui's Mansion.

"Zhou He! Tsk, tsk, I saw a ghost today, a dead person actually appeared in front of me." Zhong Changyan rode forward slowly on horseback, his tone was extremely strange.

Zhou He instantly collapsed to the ground, this sudden cavalry force completely losing his mind.

"Zhong, Zhong Changyan!" Zhou Jiaxiang's eyes suddenly turned frightened.

"Your Majesty, you may have to explain this matter to the court." Zhong Changyan bowed slightly on his horse, and there was no trace of respect in his words.

Because he knew that from this moment on, King Hui was already a useless person.

"You, how do you know! Impossible! You shouldn't know!" Zhou Jiaxiang understood Zhong Changyan's meaning from his eyes, and his whole body fell into madness.

"Come here, take this death row prisoner away for me!" Zhong Changyan waved his hand, and several big men like wolves and tigers swarmed up and dragged Zhou He from the carriage.

"Dad! Dad! Save me!"

After reacting, Zhou He roared, and many of the palace guards who heard the movement also came out and drew their swords to confront the officers and soldiers.

"What? Are you planning to rob someone?" Zhong Changyan put his palm on the handle of the knife and shouted with a frown.

Zhou Jiaxiang trembled all over, dismissed the guards with a wave of his hand, and then tremblingly said in front of Zhong Changyan: "General Zhong, as long as you are willing to let my son go today, I will give you whatever money you want."

Zhong Changyan glanced at Zhou Jiaxiang in astonishment, and asked sarcastically: "How much can I pay for this head on my head?"
