Then, Wu Meiniang walked quickly, surrounded by hundreds of coolie porters, and came to Li Zhi's carriage. She bent down and saluted, and then said crisply: "The slave family pays homage to His Highness the King of Jin. Today's events are difficult for the slave family to predict, but the slave family
I believe that His Highness is definitely not a group of thieves from the Changsun family, but in order to restore His Majesty’s innocence, I would like to ask His Highness to move to Jingzhao Mansion to provide evidence to the slave family.”
In the carriage, Li Zhi had a bitter mouth.
If it were normal, the charming Lady Wu would stand in front of him and talk to him like this, which would make all the bones in his body feel lighter. No matter what, he still wants to talk to the beauty.
But under the current circumstances, how could he be willing to go to Jingzhao Mansion?
But if they don’t go, these porter coolies will absolutely refuse...
With no choice but to lift the curtain of the car, he said to Wu Mei Niang: "In that case, I will accompany you, but please believe that I am not with those thieves, nor have I ever had any ill intentions towards Mrs Wu.
In fact, I wanted to rescue you just now, but these people came too fast..."
How could Wu Meiniang believe it?
A charming smile bloomed on her charming face, and she nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, please go ahead."
Li Zhi's face was filled with a wry smile. He had known that this beauty was beautiful, but she was fierce and fierce on the inside. As expected, she didn't care about his status as a prince at all, so he was forced to put up a fight to prevent him from getting off the stage.
But look at the hundreds of coolie porters gathered around, all of them looking at each other with fierce eyes. If he dares to refuse, he will probably swarm up and carry his carriage to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen...
Come on!
Who allowed himself to go to the dock to covet beauty? It is really his own fault...
Then he nodded and said: "It's easy to say, I am innocent. I should go to Jingzhao Mansion to explain clearly, so as not to be misunderstood by Lady Wu."
Wu Meiniang lowered her eyes and said softly: "Your Highness is reasonable, I would like to thank you in advance."
At that moment, hundreds of coolie porters were escorting everyone from the Changsun family, and at the same time they were surrounding Li Zhi, marching toward Chang'an City in a mighty manner.
When resisting the Chunming Gate, the soldiers guarding the city had already panicked and locked the city gate tightly. They unsheathed their swords and cocked their bows, fighting as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Could this be some audacious crowd rebelling?
Wu Meiniang sent someone to explain the situation, but how could the soldiers who were guarding the city believe it? It wasn't until Li Zhi showed up and presented him with the badge of Prince Jin's Palace that he became suspicious, but he refused to let these hundreds of people enter the city together.
Just kidding, there is no need for these people to rebel. As long as they make noise and cause trouble, the soldiers who defend the city will not be able to eat and walk around...
Fortunately, the Jingzhao Mansion also got the news and sent dozens of government officers to patrol out of the city to check the situation. They happened to meet at Chunming Gate. After negotiation between the two parties, only a hundred coolie porters were allowed to protect Wu Meiniang and escort everyone in the Changsun family.
City, directly to the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture.
So many people gathered at Chunmingmen, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole city. When everyone in the house heard the reason, they couldn't help but look at each other.
What kind of intelligence does this eldest grandson Wende have to do such lawless things?
Although Mrs. Wu is just a concubine, who in the whole city knows how much Fang Jun loves her? Just by leaving all the affairs of the big stall at the dock to Wu Meiniang, you can see how much Fang Jun dotes on her.
This concubine.
There are even rumors that even Fang Xuanling had a high regard for her son's concubine. Fang Xuanling would not disobey Wu Meiniang's advice on all matters in the house, which shows Wu Meiniang's status in the Fang family.
Changsun Wen took advantage of the courage of a leopard and actually kidnapped Wu Meiniang in the street. Do you really think that Fang Jun can't do anything to you when he is in the Western Regions?
Think about how Qiu Shenji and your Liulang died...
Furthermore, the news about the Western Regions has spread to Chang'an, and the Guanlong clan is colluding with the enemy to intercept and kill Fang Jun. Although there is no evidence yet, the prince's statement has already been circulated, and the Guanlong clan is in danger if they are not careful.
It’s the disaster of overthrow. At this juncture, instead of thinking about how to overcome the difficulty, you have to mess with Fang Jun’s people...
How did this brain grow?
For a time, countless people's eyes were focused on Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, waiting to see how this matter would end.
Naturally, the eldest son's family also received the news. The eldest son Yan went out to do business, and the seventh eldest son Sun Jing stayed at home. After hearing the news, the eldest son Sun Jing didn't say a word, and went directly to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen with a few people. He happened to be at the door.
I met Changsun Wen who was turned and sent here.
Changsun Jing saw the crowds of people at the yamen gate and went straight into the yamen without saying anything.
When Changsun Wen and others were picked up by the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion from the coolie porters and escorted into the inner courtyard, Changsun Jing stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "I have something to ask my brother, and please do it for your convenience."
."
The government officials naturally recognized Qi Lang from the eldest grandson's family. They looked at each other and turned their heads to the side.
Changsun Jingdao: "Thank you very much."
With a wave of his hand, the steward behind him stepped forward with a smile and stuffed a piece of silver cake into the hands of each of the yamen servants...
Changsun Jing stepped forward, frowned at the embarrassed Changsun Wen, and said with a frown: "You just said you went to the Fang family to plead for mercy, how did it get to this point?"
Changsun Wen looked around and said: "Originally, I wanted to see His Highness Gao Yang, but His Highness Gao Yang couldn't avoid it, so he had to retreat and do the next best thing. He went to the dock to see Lady Wu. Who knew there was a misunderstanding, and Lady Wu refused to give in.
I am also helpless."
Changsun Jing snorted, are you helpless? I just asked you to go and threaten, make things worse and anger the Fang family, and ruin the possibility of the Fang family settling the matter, but who on earth asked you to kidnap Wu Meiniang? What if this is serious?
If you are kidnapped back, things will be out of control...
But in the current situation, the effect is better.
Changsun Wen did everything alone, and no one could involve the Changsun family in this matter. However, the purpose of irritating the Fang family was perfectly achieved. Changsun Yan's idea of minimizing the big issue and calming down the trouble was completely in vain, and there was no possibility at all.
…
Heaving a sigh of relief, Changsun Jing looked at his concubine brother and said word by word: "You acted boldly and violated the national law. It is impossible for your family to resist the national law for you. If you make a mistake, you must admit it and you will be punished in any way."
Come on, you can take care of yourself."
Changsun Wen blinked, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I understand the seriousness, just plead guilty."
Changsun Jingdao: "But it's not a big deal. Although robbery on the street violates the national law, after all, the attempted robbery is not a big deal."
Changsun Wen also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said no more.
The two brothers looked at each other with a tacit understanding, saying nothing...
*****
The auspicious snow has just begun to fall, and the rolling and winding mountains are covered by white snow. They are a little less majestic and majestic than in the past, and a little more supple and freehand.
Changsun Yan and a dozen of his servants galloped along the winding mountain road and arrived at a Taoist temple hidden in the mountains and forests.
When he arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, he got off his horse and raised his hands to the two guards in front of the Taoist temple: "My eldest son, Sun Yan, has something urgent to ask for to see His Royal Highness Princess Changle. Please come in and give me a message."
The two guards looked at each other and said, "Master Changsun, please wait a moment."
One of them entered, turned around for a moment, and said apologetically: "Your Highness is fasting and chanting sutras, and there are no outsiders. Please come back, Mr. Grandson."
Without saying a word, Changsun Yan knelt in the snow at the foot of the stone steps in front of the door and said loudly: "Please come in again. If Your Highness is not seen today, I will not be able to kneel here for a long time!"
The imperial guard was a little displeased: "Why would Zhangsun Langjun embarrass us? If His Highness said we would not see you, then of course we would not see each other. Such rogue methods are useless."
As a guard next to Princess Changle, how could she not know about the grievances and grudges between His Highness and the Changsun family? Naturally, he had no good impression of the Changsun family. Naturally, he was unhappy that Changsun Yan would do this.
Changsun Yan nodded his head to the ground and said sadly: "How can I dare to threaten His Highness? It's just a matter of life and death. It's an urgent matter. I beg Your Highness, for the sake of our past friendship, to see me and save me!"
There was no news in the Zhongnan Mountains, and these imperial guards did not know what was going on in the Western Regions. Seeing Zhang Sunyan's appearance, they had no choice but to go inside again.
He came back after a while and said: "Your Highness, please invite Changsun Langjun to come in."
“Thank you so much!”
Changsun Yan didn't care about the embarrassment, he hurriedly got up, wiped the snow from his knees, and quickly entered the Taoist temple.
In the alchemy room, Princess Changle, who was wearing a Taoist robe and looked a little slimmer but even more beautiful, was holding a teacup in one hand and a letter in the other and reading it carefully.
Seeing Changsun Yan come to the door and stop to salute, his graceful eyebrows like spring mountains were raised slightly, and his bright eyes were full of displeasure.
In the Western Regions, you wanted to kill Fang Jun against your mortal enemy and colluded with foreign enemies to frame Pao Ze. Now that your plan has failed and the matter has been exposed, you still have the nerve to come to me to plead for mercy. I, Li Lizhi, read the Taoist Scriptures. Is it possible that I can become a compassionate and responsive person?
