Invincible son

Chapter 340 339 [Drawing the Bow]

Xingyang East City, like home inn.

The shopkeeper is in a good mood during this period, and the smile on his face has never disappeared, because since the beginning of June, a group of guests from Kyoto have booked all the upper rooms in the store, and they stayed for two months.

Although these people look vicious and evil, and it is unclear what kind of business they do, but they are very quick to pay for money, and they are never stingy in spending in the store. The shopkeeper will care who they are, and only hope that they can stay forever. When interrogated by officials, they will help them cover up.

In the middle room on the second floor, Nian Xu sat at the head seat, looked at his lackey subordinates who looked like frost-beaten eggplants in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "My lord's letter was delivered yesterday, and it only said one thing. The princess is dead."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Although they are just thugs supported by the Lu Palace, they have always been treated very well, especially the extremely wealthy Princess Xu, who often asks the steward to reward them with gold, silver and jewelry.

"Brother, the princess is so young, why did she die suddenly?" One person asked angrily.

Nian Xu said in a low voice: "The Qibao Pavilion was searched by the Taishitai Pavilion, and the evidence of Xu Jiatong's thief was found. Xu Song was immediately executed by Ling Chi. Although the princess was not implicated, how could our sage tolerate her continuing to sit in the palace of Prince Lu?" Concubine's position?"

Emperor Kaiping's love for King Lu is not a secret, and the delay in making a crown prince is probably related to this matter. Now that Xu Song is dead, the Xu family will naturally be destroyed.Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xu to continue to be the princess, because if King Lu is established as the prince, the princess may be the future queen.

As an ambitious emperor, how could Emperor Kaiping allow a tainted woman to become the future queen?

After all, that is the master of the six palaces, Yitianxia.

These thugs are all rude men who only talk about kindness and righteousness in their lives. At this moment, no matter the truth or falsehood, Qi Qi is deeply grieved for Princess Xu.Some even gritted their teeth and said, "Hmph, our Majesty was kept in the dark by a brat, and he didn't even want to keep his own daughter-in-law!"

Nian Xu got up suddenly, walked in front of him and slapped him across the face, angrily said: "Shut your beak!"

Like a tiger on the verge of madness, he looked around the crowd and said: "The prince only mentioned the news of the death of the princess in the letter, and did not blame us. But after thinking about it, I can't continue to waste time in Xingyang, I have to do something Only then can the concubine's spirit in heaven be comforted, and only then can the lord's grief be relieved."

Everyone said in unison: "Brother, please order!"

Nian Xu said in a deep voice: "In these days, you have also discovered that Pei Yue has a large number of personal guards whenever he goes out. This person is a martial arts master himself, and there is basically no possibility of success if he wants to sneak attack on the roadside. Today he will In the public trial of those captives in the city, the defense must be extremely tight, but it will definitely be relaxed after the matter is over."

A person on the right asked: "Brother, what do you mean, let's do it late at night?"

Nian Xu nodded slowly, and said with a sneer: "It's not a waste of time for us to stay in the city for more than a month. At least we have a few internal responses in the imperial envoy's office, and we have figured out the terrain inside the office. Let's sneak in tonight." Inside the Xingya, then set fire to the house, took advantage of the chaos and rushed directly to Pei Yue's residence, and killed this man to avenge the princess!"

Everyone looked excited and stood up one after another.

Nian Xu patted everyone on the shoulder, and then said seriously: "Brothers, it is very likely that there will be ten deaths and no lives tonight. If you are afraid, it is too late to leave now."

No one spoke.

Nian Xu smiled slightly, clenched his fists and said, "Very well, I didn't misread you, and the prince didn't misjudge you either. Go back and rest, get enough energy, and start tonight!"

"Yes!"

……

In Beicheng, on the wide square in front of the Yamen of Xingyang Mansion, there are crowds of people rubbing shoulders.

A high platform was temporarily built in the center of the square. The burly Chen Xianda stood on the platform leaning on a cane, and Jia Cheng stood behind him holding a handsome flag.There are soldiers of the Tibetan front guard on all sides blocking the crowd of onlookers, responsible for maintaining order, and leaving an open space in the center of the field including the high platform.

Everyone knows that today is the big Liang scum who is going to be publicly interrogated by Lord Pei who colluded with the West Wu people.But they didn't know what these traitors did, so that they were destined to have more than 200 heads chopped off before interrogation.

Looking at Chen Xianda on the high platform, they couldn't help but wonder why the lord didn't show up?

Pei Yue was in the main hall of the government office at the moment, with a chessboard in front of him, and Zhao Xianhong, the magistrate of Xingyang, was sitting opposite him.

In terms of chess skills, Zhao Xianhong is far above him, but the chess game is evenly matched. This magistrate will think hard every time before making a move, and he seems very cautious.

Pei Yue's mind was not on the chessboard, he looked at the black and white chess pieces, and his thoughts drifted involuntarily to the Cunpu Pavilion on the Qingqiu of the Houfu in Guangping, Kyoto.

"My lord, it's your turn." Zhao Xianhong waited for a while, seeing that Pei Yue still hadn't recovered, he could only remind him cautiously.

Pei Yue said "oh", looked at the situation on the chessboard and couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Zhao, you must be very tired playing chess like this?"

Zhao Xianhong was slightly taken aback, then understood the meaning of the other party's words, and smiled as usual: "My lord uses Lingzhou as a chessboard, with more than 200 human heads as bait, and the grandiose moves are rare in the world. Compare?"

Pei Yue smiled lightly, did not comment on the flattery, but said lightly: "It seems that my hand is really not very good. I think not only Zhao Zhifu, but many people can see through it."

At this moment, Chen Xianda's astonishingly loud voice sounded from the high platform, and the voice came indistinctly.

"Old and young men of Xingyang City, my name is Chen Xianda, a native of Jingdu, and I am an ordinary sentinel under our lord. A few days ago, I followed the lord to chase those Western Wu cavalry, and almost traveled all over the three northern mansions. What impressed me the most was not the final battle with them in Qishan Chong, but what I saw along the way, guess what I saw?"

He was like a killing god on the battlefield, but at the moment he seemed very simple and honest, invisibly making the surrounding people relax, and someone boldly asked: "Master Jun, please tell us!"

Chen Xianda turned around suddenly, limped to Jia Cheng's side, took the handsome flag from him with one hand, and said loudly: "This brother Jia Cheng is from Anhua County, Dingning Prefecture, let him tell you personally , What did those Western Wu cavalry do in our Lingzhou?"

Jia Cheng's face flushed red. Although Pei Yue had already suggested it beforehand, he was still extremely nervous and excited at the moment.

He walked to the edge of the high platform, looked at the crowded crowd, swallowed his saliva, and said after a while: "My name is Jia Cheng, I am 15 years old, and I was born in Jiajiazhuang, Anhua County, Dingning Prefecture. It’s not considered rich, but with land and food, parents are still alive, and two younger sisters, life is not bad.”

"On July 22, my younger sister and I went to work in the fields outside the village. Those cavalrymen from the Western Wu Dynasty suddenly appeared, and then went straight into the village, killing anyone they saw, regardless of whether they were old or weak, women or children. My younger sister and I I escaped by luck, and after they left, we returned to the village, and the corpses of fellow villagers were everywhere. My father, mother, and 12-year-old sister were all... all killed."

The huge square suddenly seemed extremely quiet at this moment.

The people of Xingyang, who had never experienced war, looked at the young man on the high platform with serious expressions.

Jia Cheng's eyes were red, and his voice trembled: "There are 370 people in Zhuangzi, only my younger sister and I survived, and the others were killed by the cavalry of Western Wu, a total of 370 lives!"

Chen Xianda stepped forward and grabbed Jia Cheng's trembling shoulders, roaring angrily: "Bring those scum up!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and more than 200 captives from the Battle of Qishanchong were guarded by the Tibetan front guards, came out from the side gate of the government office, and were taken to the south side of the high platform.

Chen Xianda glanced at these people with angry eyes, then looked at the people nearby, and said sharply: "Now let me tell you, should these beasts deserve to die!"
