first minister

Chapter 150 Starry Night Rescue!

In front of the Mingyu Building, the shopkeeper in brocade robes looked at the man in front of him respectfully, or he couldn't be called a man.

"Eunuch Jin, Mr. Xia is not here."

Xiao Huangmen frowned, and said in a soft voice: "Our family just came from the residence of the Marquis of Jiang'an, and the people in the residence said that Mr. Xia was having a banquet here, so how could he not be here! You can't afford to miss your Majesty's important event!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "So that the father-in-law can know, just now there was a conflict between the young master of the British government and Mr. Xia, and the young master of the British government ordered the captain of the Jingzhao Mansion to arrest Mr. Xia in prison."

The seemingly neutral words of the shopkeeper also hide a little tendency.

No way, who let Mr. Xia leave a good poem!

Xiao Huangmen's complexion changed, and he let out a hey, "How courageous!"

After speaking, he turned and mounted his horse, and headed towards Jingzhao Mansion.

In Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhaoyin Han Xueming is about to go to sleep.

With his status, as long as he wants to, he can have endless drinking parties and singing every night.

But he still has higher official pursuits, so he chose to work overtime.

I hope that I can get rid of this seemingly beautiful, but actually suffers from everywhere, the position of Jing Zhaoyin, who is walking on thin ice, and take a step up to become a real central minister.

"Mingfu! Something happened!"

His confidants woke him up from his bedroom, and once he spoke, Han Xueming's drowsiness was more than half gone.

"What's the matter?"

"The third son of the British family beat the Concubine De's younger brother, and let Zhou Zhenwei arrest him and put him in our prison!"

"The concubine's brother-in-law?"

"My lord, do you still remember the visit of the concubine in Sishui Prefecture? The second son of the Lu family, Lv Fengyuan, who was the governor of Sishui at the time, was killed by the Xiaojun God in the street, and then expelled from the family tree. I think the third son of Lu came to attack because of this."

Han Xueming recalled the rumors that the Concubine De concubine had adopted a brother-in-law in Sishui Prefecture, and she seemed to have contributed a lot to the rebellion.

He frowned, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. This was Jing Zhaoyin's grievance. Most of the things he encountered were complicated, and behind each of them were forces that he couldn't afford to provoke.

Fortunately, after all these years, he has also gained some experience, "Go and check quickly to see if there is any arrest document. As long as there is no arrest document, you will pretend that you have never come to me. I don't know about this matter. If there is, release him immediately."

The aide smiled and said: "That's definitely not the case. Zhou Zhenwei came through the way of the British prince. He was too busy to do things for the master, so naturally he didn't have time to ask me to go through the paperwork."

"That's fine. If Empress Concubine De wants to intervene, she will have an explanation tonight, so we can rest assured and wait."

"Master is wise!"

The staff retreated, and Han Xueming felt that it was really cold outside. He wrapped himself in the robe and got into the room again.

Before he could warm up again in the bed, the call of the staff came from the door again.

"What's the matter?"

Han Xueming opened the door impatiently and walked out.

This time the staff panicked even more than before, "Someone is coming from the palace!"

Han Xueming appeared in the main hall of the mansion almost at a speed that ordinary people could hardly achieve.

Seeing that it was indeed someone close to His Majesty, he hurriedly respected him: "Your Majesty is far away from welcoming you, please forgive me, Eunuch!"

Jin Zhong smiled but didn't smile, his voice carried a bit of the coldness of the winter night outside, "Master Han, our family is here to find someone. His Majesty has summoned Mr. Xuan Xia to enter the palace for an audience! But your Jingzhao Mansion put him in prison. How do you ask our family to explain to His Majesty?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Han Xueming felt as if he had been hit in the head with a sap, and he almost lost his footing.

After listening to Eunuch Jin's words, he regained his composure a little, and immediately turned his head to look at his staff pretending to be surprised, and said in a deep voice, "There is such a thing? What's the reason! Get the arrest documents quickly!"

The staff had sung the oboe with him for so many years, how could they not understand, and immediately cupped their hands and said: "Mingfu, father-in-law, I can assure you that we did not arrest Mr. Xia's document!"

"There's no reason for that!" Han Xueming slapped his chair and stood up before Xiao Huangmen could speak. "This Zhou Zhenwei, relying on the backing of a big man behind him, went on a rampage! He dared to arrest someone without apprehending documents! Does he still think of me as Jing Zhaoyin?"

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands towards Jin Zhong and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll go and invite Mr. Xia out!"

Xiao Huangmen stood up, "Our family will go with you!"

The wooden shelves are placed horizontally and vertically in the shape of a cross.

Captain Zhou pointed to the cross and ordered: "Tie him up!"

Xia Jingyun didn't struggle, and let the soldiers tear his hands apart and tie him to the wooden frame.

I felt the rope in my hand getting tighter and tighter, a kind of powerless struggle, fear and weakness of being slaughtered rose in my heart.

Smelling the smell of blood and sourness in the air, looking at the third son of the British who sat across from him with a cold expression, his gaze involuntarily swept across many instruments of torture that he had never even seen before. The dark red and jet black left on them were the agglomeration of cruel blood.

Xia Jingyun couldn't help feeling somewhat regretful.

Still a little reckless!

He and Su Yuanshang had carefully deduced the court situation, and they were basically sure that His Majesty wanted to find a way to support Concubine De, not because he really wanted to pass that position to Concubine De's prince, but because he wanted Concubine De to be able to really fight Concubine Shu and balance the power of the court.

Even in their minds, when Concubine De and Concubine Shu are as capable as Concubine Shu, Emperor Chongning will take action against the Crown Prince.

But after entering Beijing, he met Gongsun Jing, and he understood what the problem was.

It is impossible for the emperor to force people to concubine De for this kind of thing, you can only build the ladder and pave the way yourself, and the emperor will follow the trend.

So after being bumped into by Lu Fengze today, he thought of a bold idea in an instant.

That is to directly make the matter big, not only to create momentum and attract people to join him, but also to take the initiative to hand a knife to His Majesty for him to use to cut Lu's flesh.

That's why, in the eyes of everyone, there are actions that seem crazy and ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, and words that are harsh.

Calculating the time, Gongsun Jing rushed to Miyagi, so he should have been notified, why hasn't sister sent someone?
Could it be that His Majesty is still hesitating and unwilling to make a move?impossible!Which emperor can tolerate such a powerful honor under his hands.

Elder sister wouldn't just sit back and watch me do nothing, would she?
"Xia Jingyun, don't worry, I won't kill you."

Looking at the opponent tied to the wooden frame, Lu Fengze stood up with a smile, "I know, you are waiting for your elder sister to save you. She can indeed save you. No matter what your Majesty does, she will not let you die here."

"I still have about half an hour. I can have fun with you."

He stood up, walked to the row of torture instruments, and first reached out to pick up a leather whip, "This one won't work, it just hurts a little when it's whipped, and it's still bloody, so it's not worthwhile to think there are multiple injuries."

Then he picked up a soldering iron again, "This is fine, just burn it, it will make you remember it for a lifetime."

As he spoke, he picked it up directly and threw it into the charcoal brazier.

Xia Jingyun's throat rolled, his mouth was pursed, and the blood on his face disappeared.

In essence, he is still just an ordinary person with more knowledge, and he will naturally feel fear in the face of these instruments of torture designed to challenge human nature.

"Scared?"

Like a cat teasing a mouse, Lu Fengyuan looked at Xia Jingyun's pale face proudly, "Didn't you just say that you want to see whose Zhongjing City this Zhongjing City is? Now you know?"

With the smile still on his face, he grabbed an iron brush on the rack of torture tools and brushed it towards Xia Jingyun's chest!
If this brushing is implemented, dozens of bloody flesh will be scraped off, and the pain will not heal for several months!
Xia Jingyun gritted his teeth, watching the brush getting closer and closer!
boom!
The door was kicked open.

A commanding voice shouted, "Stop!"

Lu Fengze turned his head to look, and he gritted his teeth, pretending he didn't hear it!
"Zhou Zhenwei, His Majesty has an order, stop him if you don't want to die!"

His Majesty? !
Captain Zhou was so frightened that he jumped up quickly and threw Mr. Lu San to the ground.

The iron brush fell less than half a foot away from Xia Jingyun.

It hit the ground with a clang.

call.
It's finally here.

Don't play so risky again next time.

Xia Jingyun collapsed, feeling relieved, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Xiao Huangmen hurried forward, took a closer look, and heaved a long sigh of relief after seeing that there were no injuries on Xia Jingyun's body.

Hastily screamed: "Are they all dead? Hurry up and untie it for Mr. Xia!"

The soldiers on the side hurried forward and untied Xia Jingyun from the stake.

Xiao Huangmen said with a smile: "Young Master Xia, you are making it easy for me to find you. His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace for an audience. Shall we invite you?"

As soon as Lu Fengze heard it, he knew that there was nothing to be done, so he could only stand aside with hatred, his eyes seemed to eat people up.

In the eyes of everyone, Xia Jingyun sat directly on the ground unexpectedly, and said with a weary and weak smile: "It's hard work, father-in-law. But this Lord Zhou said that I was guilty and put me in prison. How can I go out before this problem is clarified? Isn't this ignoring the court's laws? How can I appear in a clean place in the palace with a sinful body! I think even His Majesty can understand me."

Boom!
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhou fainted from fright and fell to the ground!
