Ma Zhou's whole family was put in a prison car and paraded along the streets of Chang'an City.
Ma Zhou has always been famous in the court, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is just a court official. If your majesty said he was rebelling, then he was rebelling. Rebellion is a serious crime of treason, killing the nine tribes and beheading. It's just right. The weather has been getting worse and worse recently.
It's hot, it's a nice thing for everyone to be able to eat popsicles and watch beheadings.
Therefore, behind several prison cars, there were hundreds of people watching and eating melon, and from time to time, voices could be heard cursing Ma Zhou for being a corrupt official.
Ma Zhou stood in the prison car, his hands were handcuffed, his hair was disheveled, his face was streaked with bruises, and the wounds on his body were stinging under the sun. These were all suffered in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
His chapped lips moved, thinking about injustice and the like, but when they came to his lips, they were swallowed back.
The matter was already clear. My nephew Ma Bin wrote a prophecy at home, specifying that he would overthrow the Tang Dynasty and replace the Li family with the Ma family.
Conspiracy has been a serious crime since ancient times.
Ma Zhou knew that he was completely hopeless this time.
Suddenly, he looked startled.
Following the direction of Ma Zhou's eyes, he could see a young man in purple clothes sitting on a tall maroon horse behind the crowd, looking here coldly.
"Du He...why is he here?" Ma Zhou's tone was a little surprised.
Snapped.
I saw Du He swinging his riding whip and rushing towards this side.
When the Imperial Guards around saw someone coming, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. When they saw clearly that it was Du He, they all moved aside.
Du He patted his horse and came to the prison car.
Li Junxian, who was leading the team, hurriedly turned his horse's head and asked vigilantly: "Uncle Yi County, what are you doing? I am following your Majesty's order to march against the Ma Zhou family who committed a serious crime of rebellion. Your Majesty has an order."
, the Ma family intends to rebel, and the crime cannot be forgiven. No one is allowed to meet Ma Zhou and others, otherwise, they will all be severely punished."
Wow.
The surrounding forbidden troops immediately raised their spears and stopped Du He.
Du He took out the gold medal, held it high, and said loudly: "General Li, you are too nervous. Ma Zhou and I are neither enemies nor friends. We just met by chance and were ministers in the same palace. I was surprised to hear that Ma Zhou
The family rebelled and conspired, and I felt sad when I thought about how a few days ago Qian had an argument with Ma Zhou near Qujiang Pool. Today, I am just here to see Master Ma Zhou off."
Li Junxian looked at the gold medal in Du He's hand, then looked around and saw that Lu Bu was far behind the crowd, and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go!"
Du He clapped his horse and came to the prison van.
Ma Zhou said excitedly: "Uncle of Yi County, I wish I could have been born late and become a good friend with you. Now, I, Ma Zhou, have rebelled against me. No one in the civil or military circles of the dynasty saw me off, but you did it for me. Ma Zhou is satisfied."
.”
Du He said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, it's nothing special for a man to die and a bird to fly up to the sky, but not to die for tens of millions of years. Today, there happens to be a bottle of good wine, specially sent for you to taste."
With that said, Du He took out a bottle of sorghum wine won by a lottery from his arms.
He sat on his horse, poured a glass for Ma Zhou himself, and handed it to Ma Zhou's mouth.
Ma Yiyi tilted his head and drank a glass of wine the size of his fist in one gulp. He felt his mouth was burning and his throat was burning, and then he coughed violently.
Immediately, Ma Zhou laughed and said: "Hahaha, good wine, good wine... One more glass, I want it!"
Du He suddenly slammed the glass to the ground, and the glass turned into a pile of fragments on the ground.
Ma Zhou and everyone were shocked.
But Du He smiled slightly: "Master Ma, for the rest of the wine, I will prepare a banquet at the Dream Group and wait for you to come and drink it!"
Before he finished speaking, Du He pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and galloped away in the direction of the imperial city.
Ma Yiyi was stunned, and then Nuonuo said to herself: "Du He, Du He, save me!"
…
In the mountain col near Dream Group.
The square where the guards usually trained was suddenly filled with panic.
More than a hundred capable guards stood neatly.
"Hey yo, hey yo!"
Twelve strong men, carrying three large boxes, groaned and landed on the general platform.
Standing on the stage were Zhang Jian, Xu Zhengdao and Cheng Yiyue.
Zhang Jian waved his hand.
Several men opened three large boxes.
For a moment, everyone's eyes widened.
I saw that the box was actually full of silver.
Silver is not a currency in circulation in this era, but it is high-quality goods, much more valuable than Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Xu Zhengdao suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone, stand at attention!"
Swish.
More than a hundred elite escorts from the Fantasy Group move in unison.
"Take a break!"
Swish.
Zhang Jian glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "Brothers, today, we may do something big, something earth-shattering. We may lose our heads, we may die without a burial place, but we are
If you die for the young master, you die for the Dream Group. As long as you participate in the brothers, these three boxes of money will be yours. When you die, the money will be sent to your home, your parents, your children, there will be people here in this life.
Raise them...Now, if there are any brothers who are willing to quit, please stand aside."
Everyone was as motionless as wooden piles.
No one wants to quit.
These more than a hundred people have all been trained by Venom Fang, and most of them are desperadoes who are not afraid of death. Therefore, they were selected to stand here.
"Okay, very good. It's not in vain that the young master feeds you with good food and drink!"
"Set off!"
Zhang Jian waved his hand, and Xu Zhengdao took more than a hundred people and left the col.
Zhang Jian turned around and saw Cheng Yiyue lowering her head and looking at the sword in her hand without saying a word.
He then said: "Miss Yiyue, Zhengdao has led people to ambush outside Yanxing Gate. It's time for me to go to Chang'an City to organize the Venomous Fang brothers. You should stay in Dream Group to protect everyone's safety."
Cheng Yiyue shook her head and glanced at the sky: "No, I want to go to the palace."
"But……"
Click.
Cheng Yiyue took out her sword, took a look at it, and said, "No but, I will kill anyone who stands in my way."
With that said, the girl ignored the stunned Zhang Jian and walked away alone.
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Ximen Qing opened the door carefully, walked in, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Bo Duhe from Yixian County is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Li Er was furious and asked without raising his head, "Why did he ask to see me?"
"Your Majesty, the uncle of Yi County said that I would like to send you a good thing to solve your big trouble." Ximen Qing said honestly.
Li Er thought for a while and said: "The ministers outside all want to see me and intercede for Ma Zhou. If I remember correctly, Ma Zhou impeached Du He several times and was incompatible with Du He. It seems that Du He will not
Intercede with him and let him come in. I want to see what kind of treasure this boy has."
Li Er felt better after hearing that Du He was here to deliver something.
In Li Er's mind, although Du He behaved haphazardly, he was loyal to him. No matter how good he was, he would never forget himself as the emperor. With such a minister, what else could the emperor say?
