"Master Wang, has the imperial court allowed the prince and the two princes to return to Peiping?"
As soon as they saw Wang Daoling, the chief envoy of Peiping, Siyou Councilor, returning to the post house, three guards from Prince Yan's Palace who came with him immediately came up to greet him and asked.
Wang Daoling was nearly fifty years old. He was a fat man of medium stature with a good appearance and a long beard. He coughed and looked at the three guards of Prince Yan's Mansion impatiently with a pair of fish eyes. He hummed.
He said: "Why are you so anxious? The emperor originally asked the princes to observe mourning in the Xiaoling Mausoleum for three years. Now that you want to go back, don't you have to wait for the emperor to say something?"
Among the three guards of the Yan Palace, one is from Baihu named Deng Yong, and the other two are school captains, named Yu Liang and Zhou Duo respectively. Deng Yong was ordered by Princess Yan before leaving, and he has been in Beijing for three days, and he still
There was no definite news, so I was very anxious and asked hurriedly: "Then what does the emperor say?"
Wang Daoling glared and said, "How do I know? I haven't seen the emperor at all. Aren't I just waiting for the Ministry of Rites to convey the emperor's will? If you are in a hurry, go and ask the emperor yourself!" Wang Counselor finished speaking.
, tossed his sleeves and went straight to the upper room. Two captains approached Deng Baihu and asked: "Master Baihu, what should I do?"
Deng Baihu paused and said: "Oh! What else can we do? In the final analysis, this matter has to fall on Councilor Wang. His grandma, before leaving, he collected so many treasures from our princess, but he didn't do anything.
Son’s.”
After wandering around the yard helplessly for two times, Deng Baihu sighed: "That's all, tomorrow morning, I will urge him again to let him go. He has to give us a clear explanation. Let's go and have a drink on the street.
Drinking, I feel so depressed." Yu Liang and Zhou Duo, two captains, looked at each other and followed him helplessly.
The post house is located in Jian'anfang. Not far from the post house, there is a bustling street, with teahouses, restaurants, goulan brothels, one next to the other, wine flags, tea flags, and large and small plaques, making it dazzling.
"Okay, let's just go with this one, two brothers, how about it?"
Deng Baihu looked up and saw a small restaurant in front of him. There was a black plaque on the white ground with the words "Wenxiang Restaurant" written on it, so he said to the two captains. Yu Liang smiled and said: "That's it if you say so, sir.
Anyway, the food belongs to adults."
Deng Yong smiled and scolded: "Grandma, you two brats don't know how to treat me to a meal to be filial and filial, but I'm used to it."
As soon as he said this, a beautiful young man suddenly appeared in front of him. He was very beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, white lips and red teeth. He was wearing a moonlight gown, which made him look like a jade tree in the wind. He looked like a talented man. Look at him smiling, holding in his hand
Carrying a small gold-painted fan, there were two shallow smiles on his face. Deng Yong seemed to understand something, waved his hands in disgust and said: "Go, go, man, you don't want to behave like this, his grandma, why?"
There are people all over the capital who look like me."
The handsome young man's face turned red and he said with some embarrassment: "Deng Yong, what nonsense are you talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will cut out your tongue."
Deng Yong was startled and said in surprise: "Do you know me? Who are you?"
As he spoke, he already touched the sword at his waist with caution. Unexpectedly, as soon as he grasped the handle of the sword, someone chuckled in his ear: "My dear, if you dare to move, you will have to go to the Lord of Hell to have a drink."
Deng Yong felt as if a sharp weapon was pressed against his ribs. He did not dare to move anymore. He turned around and saw that two of his subordinates had been restrained at some point. There was a strong man standing on the left and right of each of them.
Along with their bodies, there were two burly men beside him, each wearing a green t-shirt and sun hat, looking a little mysterious.
Deng Yong said sternly: "Who are you? You dare to hijack officers and soldiers on the street. Do you want to rebel?"
The person on the left chuckled and said: "Sorry, you are a soldier, and my brothers are also soldiers. I have been ordered to run an errand. I hope you won't make things difficult for us, brother. Let's go!"
Deng Yong said: "Where to go?"
The handsome young man in front of him turned around gracefully, put his hands behind his back, lightly slapped his folding fan on his lower back, and said leisurely: "Jinyiwei!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Jinyiwei, imperial edict.
No one has lived in this place for many years. Only a few days ago, King Qi was imprisoned here for a few days, and then he was sent to Fengyang for imprisonment. The dungeon was damp and cold, although the weather outside had begun to get hot.
, people from the north are not used to it, but the cold, damp, and rotten smell inside this prison is even more unbearable than the weather outside.
"What are you doing? We are the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion. We are here on errands in Beijing. How dare you take us!"
"You are the one who took it. Prince Yan's Mansion? I mean, brother, do you think this tiger skin can still bluff people now?"
Xiao Qianyue led a few people to greet him with a smile.
The handsome man dressed as a scholar said calmly: "Xiao Lieutenant, I leave this to you."
Xiao Qianyue said calmly: "Liu Lieutenant, do you want to stay and appreciate your brother's torture methods?"
"No need!" Captain Liu, who was dressed as a scholar, had a straight face. He waved his hands lightly, and several of his men let go of the tied Deng Yong and the three of them, and followed him out. Xiao Qianyue stared at him with a stern look.
He looked at the scholar's back and spat fiercely, then turned to Deng Yong and the others.
Deng Yong said loudly: "We are the guards of Prince Yan's palace, why do you arrest people?"
Xiao Qianyue glanced at him with a half-smile but said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, do we, the Jinyi Guards, need a reason to arrest people? Come on, please serve these three brothers who have come from afar!" Immediately, several men who were like prison-like tigers appeared.
The jailer rushed up to them, dragged them away.
A ray of sunlight fell from the skylight of the cell, right in the middle of the torture room. In the middle of the room, there was a rusty chair. The chair was covered with dark red rust. I don’t know if it was dripped by the previous inmates.
Made of dried blood. Deng Yong looked at such a chair and couldn't help but said in horror: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
Suddenly, there was a scream of ghosts and wolves howling from the next room. Deng Yong was shaken and lost his voice: "Yu Liang, Yu Liang, how are you?"
With his hands tied behind his back, he could only stagger and run to the wall. Looking through the small hole to the next door, he saw an iron bed with a naked man lying on it, with strips of straps from head to toe.
From left to right, his whole body was firmly fixed on the iron bed. Next to him stood a rude man with his upper body bare and a tuft of hair on his chest. He was holding a kettle in his hand and was walking leisurely.
The man who was fixed on the iron bed was poured with water.
When the water was poured on the body, it made a boiling sound of "porphyrin", and the heat steamed up, and the screams came from the mouth of the man who was being tortured on the iron bed.
"Yu Liang!"
Deng Yong roared with tears in his eyes. The big man who was watering the water heard it and seemed to know that he was watching him there. He slowly raised his head, grinned in his direction, and then picked up an iron brush.
, the iron brush can scrape off a layer of skin and flesh directly on the body, not to mention that the body has just been scalded by boiling water. The iron brush scrapes off even the skin and flesh. The situation and scene are really worse than hell.
Be scary.
Deng Yong was a man who had been on the battlefield and killed people, but he had never seen such a method of killing others. His scalp was shocked and numb. At this moment, there was another tragic scream from the other side of the room.
, Xiao Qianyue said with a smile: "Deng Baihu, don't look around, it's your turn, please!"
Two big men who were torturers grabbed Deng Baihu and dragged him away. Once he got to the chair, Deng Yong discovered that the chair was made of iron. There seemed to be a furnace underneath, with red hot coals inside, because of the billowing heat wave.
The chair had already been burned red. As soon as I got closer, I could feel the heat of the chair before I even sat down. If I sat on it...
Deng Yong was so frightened that he felt like he was dying. Two big men pressed him down to sit on a chair. He struggled desperately to straighten his body and yelled: "What are you going to do? What do you want? What do you want!"
Xiao Qianyue walked up to him step by step, bent down slightly, and said with a smile: "I want you to admit that King Yan is plotting a rebellion, and we will raise an army soon!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Upstairs in Heming, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and his two brothers were having a banquet with his third uncle Xu Zengshou and his consort Wang Ning. People from Jinyiwei also opened two tables on the second floor, guarding their positions on both sides of the stairs. Official business
They didn't dare to drink while they were here, but they ordered a table full of various delicacies. Anyway, it was the meeting room of Governor Xu. The people in Jinyiwei were not very popular in recent years. Who wouldn't want to taste the delicacies on the 16th floor of Jinling.
"Kick, kick, kick!" There was a sound from the stairs, and a very handsome young man in white robe climbed up the steps. He leaned half of his body out of the floor and stopped. His autumn-like eyes glanced left and right, fixed on Xia Xun's.
On the body.
When Xia Xun's eyes met his, he quickly put down his chopsticks, picked up a towel and wiped the corners of his mouth. When he got up, the white-robed young man had already turned around leisurely and walked slowly downstairs.
"Brother, my lord has ordered me to keep a tighter watch on Prince Yan and the others."
There is a river next to the street downstairs, with rippling blue waves. There are rows of weeping willows along the river, and the willow branches are graceful and swaying in the breeze.
Liu Yujue brushed away a willow branch on his shoulder and said softly: "The imperial court has decided to take action against Prince Yan. Today, they just captured the three guards who accompanied the chief envoy to Peking to urge the imperial court to release the prince.
The household has been tortured but has "confessed" according to our instructions. The confession has been submitted to the emperor, and the emperor will soon issue a secret order to Peiping. In order to prevent the news from being exposed, the three sons of King Yan cannot move until King Yan is arrested.
But you must be extra careful here. Since King Yan is openly asking for people from the court, there is no guarantee that he will not inform his three sons privately and let them wait for an opportunity to escape."
Xia Xun said: "This possibility is not big. No matter where they go, even if they are in the Zhongshan Palace, they are under our strict surveillance."
Liu Yujue chuckled and said: "Of course I know. I can't be more at ease with my eldest brother's work. However... I don't want you to be punished if you sail the ship for ten thousand years with caution."
Xia Xun stared at him, and suddenly he also smiled and said: "Yu Jue is now mature and experienced, and is no longer the little scholar with no independent opinions. It seems that he is by the adults' side and is trained by the adults every day. He is indeed an adult."
There is progress.”
Somehow, Liu Yujue's pretty face turned red when Xia Xun said this.
After the banquet, Xu Huizu took his three precious nephews home. The guards of the Zhongshan Palace accompanied them, and the Jinyi Guards were on the outermost perimeter, protecting them from the weather. When passing by a pharmacy, Xia Xun said:
A guard in brocade clothes beside him said: "You guys go ahead, I haven't been feeling well these past two days. I'm going to the store to grab some medicine."
"Yes, sir."
Xia Xun got off his horse and walked into the drugstore. This drugstore was too small. There was no clerk. There was only one shopkeeper. He was arranging a medicine box with his back to the door. Xia Xun knocked on the chopping board a few times.
Next, he said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, I'll grab some medicine, Fangfeng, Rehmannia, Angelicae Sinensis, Cicada Slough, Wang Buliu, and Zhuidifeng. I'll grab five coins each and fry them to make one!" (To be continued. If you like this movie,
