Fan Hui was impatient, so he directly interrupted Mr. Zong:
"Thenmy lord knows where Mrs. Zhang is?"
Mr. Zong was about to answer him, but he saw two people approaching from a distance, one in front and one behind.
The one in front was an extremely frail old rabbit who seemed to be losing its hair. Although he was walking in a hurry, his steps were very unsteady, as if he was about to fall all the time.
The one behind was a thin man with an old dress covering his head. Although he tried his best to straighten his back, he walked with great difficulty, so he fell farther and farther behind the old rabbit eunuch.
Yue Yuhou used to patrol the palace, and both of them knew each other. The old rabbit eunuch is the master of eunuch Liu who is in charge of doing odd jobs in Xinghuamen, and behind him is Master Xu of Douyuan Court. He nodded and greeted both of them habitually.
The old eunuch also bowed to Yue Yuhou with a smile, but Master Xu didn't know if he was too preoccupied, so he ignored Yue Yuhou, brushed past them, and went out of the palace gate.
"Eunuch Xu from Douyuan Court?"
Mr. Zong has a good memory. He once met Master Xu when Deputy Xu in the Daqing Palace made a big fuss in Douyuan Courtyard. Seeing that Master Xu was walking a hundred steps ahead, he asked everyone to follow him to follow Master Xu.
Fortunately, at this time, the sky has not yet dawned, and it is still dark everywhere. Although there are shops that have come out to tidy up the planks, and there are sporadic peddlers carrying burdens on the road, the whole city seems to be lazy. The children of the family couldn't tell that there was a military riot in the city last night.
Master Xu didn't notice either, Mr. Zongze and the others followed him.
"Huh? Master Zong, are we going tofollow him to find Mrs. Zhang?"
Fan Hui is a loyal fan of Emperor Renzong, and now he only cares about how to save Renzong's blood, and ignores it technically. (Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, Lingchi was still an illegal method until Emperor Renzong's reform.)
When Mr. Zong saw clearly that Master Xu was going to the place where the prisoner was about to be executed, he stopped in his tracks.
Fan Hui and Yue Yuhou wanted to continue following, but they were pulled back by the old man.
The old man twirled his beard and asked Li Gang, who had been silent all this time: "Master Li, I always execute the executions on the evening of December, without exception, right?"
Li Gang nodded.
Zong Ze asked again: "Since the founding of our dynasty, we have always followed the principle of 'cautious punishment'. Only those who have committed heinous crimes and have no objection to the review of the crime will be executed, right?"
Li Gang blushed and nodded again. Last night, after he led people to rescue Zhao Ji, he originally wanted to intercede for Zhang Luo, but who knows, every time he was about to speak, the emperor would find an excuse to change the subject.
Zong Ze smiled slightly: "Since there is no one to review the crime for accountant Zhang, why should she be sentenced to such a severe punishment as Ling Chi?"
Li Gang looked at Yue Yuhou, made a sad face, but did not make a sound. What he meant was that Zhang Luo didn't know the emperor's favor, which caused Zhao Ji to break the vinegar vat, so he wanted to take revenge on her.
Fan Hui opened his mouth in embarrassment, closed it, and then opened it again: "Butbut, Mrs. Zhang is the blood of Emperor Renzong! The daughter of the emperor's clan, even if she is killed, she will not be able to enter the harem."
Old man Zong nodded: "That's why the officials sentenced her to Ling Chi."
"Yes, I understand Lord Ren Zong approved Ling Chi's sentence back thenbut"
This time, Fan Hui had only half-spoken, and regretted it, and quickly covered his mouth, because he followed Li Gang and wanted to understand the twists and turns.
Only Yue Yuhou didn't understand, he stared at a pair of tiger eyes, and almost walked around Zongze anxiously:
"My lord Zong, the day is about to dawn! Your Majesty shouldn't see her as the daughter of the clan, and be more lenient, shouldn't you?"
At this time, a palace carriage with two small horses also circled the corner of the street, and under the brighter daylight, passed towards the death row of the Court of Justice.
Grandpa Zongze led Yue Yuhou to a soy milk bun shop that had just opened on the side of the road, and beckoned him to sit down first.
"Brother Yue, when Ling Chi executes the sentence, the prisoner's hands and feet are usually cut off first, and then the abdomen is ripped open. At that time, the prisoner's body is soaked in blood and his hair is disheveled. Those who observe the execution, even if they are bold, only look at the bloody parts. Don't look at face anymore. If the prisoner who was executed was injured and his face was dirty, tell me, who would be able to tell who she is?"
It was only then that Yue Yuhou suddenly realized.
At this stall, Fan Hui thought about Zhang Luo's big problem, and remembered that the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou was about to be sent to the Jurchen, so he bulged his eyes and blushed, and followed the soy milk shop. Li Gang, because Li Gang?? is the gentleman who is responsible for explaining strategies to the princes.
"Master Li, then then what can the Ninth Prince do? Or, we will go to the official road to the north, rob him and save him from the Jurchen's jaws?"
""
It was only then that Li Gang discovered that Fan Hui, the "gunner" villain whom the court and the Qingliu had always despised, was actually such an old-fashioned and warm-hearted knight, so he couldn't help laughing.
"Master Fan, you have wrongly blamed Master Zong today."
"Yes, the lower officials mistakenly thought that the elder Zong wants to abandon the blood of the late emperor"
"No, no, what Li meant was that Mr. Zong negotiated a business deal with Mr. Cai because of us."
Li Gang told Fan Hui and Yue Yuhou about Master Zong's "accidental" talk with Cai Jing about Tong Guan taking Cai's family and pulling a carriage out of the palace before going to the palace.
"That's why Mr. Cai Daxiang rescued you two today. I believe that now, Mr. Cai Daxiang also has the means of gods and ghosts, so that the officials will not send the Ninth Prince to Jurchen as a hostage."
Only then did Fan Hui understand why Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You, suddenly wanted to marry his sister-in-law to Yue Yuhou, why Cai Jing blocked himself every time, so that he could not report to the emperor, and why Cai Jing would marry him when he came down to court. Holding hands with Zong Ze so intimately and talking.
He straightened up with his face flushed, and bowed respectfully to Zongze three times:
"The boss saved Wansheng, but Wansheng didn't choose what to say"
Zong Ze smiled and offered him a bowl of snow-white steaming soybean milk.
After Fan Hui and Li Gang had left, Zong Ze led Yue Yuhou back to the soy milk bun shop. Because this shop happened to be across the street from the death row of the Judicial Court, and it was on the way that the prison car must pass to go to Caishikou.
Just as Yue Yuhou was about to ask Mr. Zong what he meant, he saw a few unusually tall men approaching not far away. Although they were all carrying burdens and pulling a flatbed cart full of goods, they walked with a posture that could be seen at a glance. Lian Jiazi, a master of martial arts.
They just passed by, and two or three thin but strong men came. The leader is full of sarcoma. Yue Yuhou almost stood up, isn't this person the Boss Xiao who once pushed himself into the Bianliang River?
Before Yue Kun finished his rush, he saw Brother Beard disguised as a delivery merchant, wearing a thick big leather jacket, with his arms open, covering half of his face with his fur ears, and also came over. It's just that the murderous long knife was still under the leather jacket, dangling faintly.
Yue Yuhou was about to rush out, but was blocked by Master Zong with a long bench.
"Brother Yue's name is 'Kun'? What is the word?"
The old man is actually thinking, at this moment, ask this? !
"My lord, these people are"
"They are all preparing to rob the court."
Elder Zong boasted about the second bowl of soy milk he was going to have, as if "robbing the Falun Gong" was as common as "eating meat and steamed buns".
"this¡¡"
"Brother Yue's personality is not like that of 'Kun'. Let the old man turn his back on the old and sell the old, and think of a new name for you."
"grown ups!"
Brother Huzi hadn't gone far when a few stout northern prairie horses came over, followed by a few men wearing bamboo hats and cloaks around their faces. The last one has a blue wolf tattooed on his hand. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
