Everyone was puzzled and looked for Madam. Now, wouldn't the more power needed, the better
Even Zhang Xian was a little surprised: "The madam has not been found yet..."
He shook his head and looked anxious: "You just need to obey orders and act."
"yes."
Everyone had no choice but to return, and soon, only a total of 20 people, including Yue Pengju and Zhang Xian, were left on the snow. These 20 people were all Yue Pengju's personal guards. They had been following him almost since the beginning of the Kaifeng War. .
Zhang Xian asked: "Where to go?"
He didn't answer, he just took the lead and rushed forward.
This is a small town less than a hundred miles away from the capital. There is a luxurious mansion here, two or three ancient pines, and four or five clumps of phoenix bamboos. After a heavy snowfall, it is revealed that the heavy snow has pressed down on the green pine trees, and the pine trees are straight and straight. The artistic conception, and the image of "Su Wu", the owner of this place, the Northland Wrangler, returning home from the festival, quite complement each other.
The owner of this place, Qin Hui, had worked hard for the country for a long time. He happened to "recover from illness" when the Miao and Liu rebellions occurred. When the Miao and Liu rebels were raging, he called him prime minister, but he refused. Therefore, he received the praise of the imperial censor, and wrote to the emperor that he must Reuse this person.
Zhao Deji's secret letters calling for pensions and condolences have come twice. However, the noble Mr. Qin is still lying in bed. He can only express his gratitude and cannot go to his post immediately.
It wasn't until the eunuch who delivered the order had left for a few hours that he sat up refreshed.
It was already dark, so the old servant directly brought the delicacies to the study. Three cups and two glasses of fine wine were poured into his throat, and he frowned: "There is no news about Madam?"
"Sir, my wife has not come back yet."
He was overjoyed. Wang Junhua was a famous tigress. As long as he was at home, he would be asked to explain every day whether he had had an affair with a maid or flirted with his maid, which made him extremely annoyed. He was not at home these days, and these "routine tasks" were missing. , but he felt much more relaxed. Sometimes, he even hoped that Wang Junhua would disappear and marry another gentle and submissive woman. However, he did not dare. Such thoughts could only swirl in his mind and never dared to speak out.
The old servant collected the food, leaving only a pot of scalding wine. He poured a glass, drank it, and kept chewing on his cheeks. This was his habit. Whenever he encountered something important and needed to think about it, he would always chew it for a long time. Cheeks.
At present, the situation of the court is very clear. Miao Liu was expelled from the court, and Zhai Ruwen had to take the blame and resign. It can be said that the first political enemy he came back was Zhai Ruwen, and he already hated Zhai deeply. Even if Zhao Deji trusted him again, this Under such circumstances, he had to leave his job temporarily. As long as he quit the court, it would not be easy for him to make a comeback. His first political opponent could be said to have gone first. Even if he did not go, there would naturally be The censor impeached him.
In addition, Lu Yihao was a great contributor to King Qin this time. He was the first obstacle to his comeback. The court usually established a prime minister, sometimes with a left prime minister and a right prime minister. In this case, the emperor could not completely trust him and needed to It's because they are weighing each other's constraints. If I go back now, will I be the only prime minister or will I be the prime minister together with Lu Yihao
This is a very important question. If it is a universal, how can we exclude Lu Yihao
He was also secretly frightened. The Fourth Prince was really careful about every step, and there was no leakage. He had calculated that Sun Wukong would be hovering in the palm of Tathagata after all. He was frightened in his heart, and he became even more desperate. Fortunately, he had such a smart and capable wife, who was willing to help him. How many things have been saved. With her around for a day, the fourth prince can sit back and relax for a day.
There was a knock on the door, and it was the voice of an old servant: "Master..."
"What else happened?"
"The villain brings you ginseng soup..."
What kind of ginseng soup is given in the middle of the night? When the door opened, he didn't pay attention, thinking it was the old servant who brought tea. He still chewed his cheek and lowered his head in thought.
There was a gust of cold wind, and a dagger was already pressed against his neck. At the same time, he staggered like a piece of salted fish being carried. Qin Hui was thin and small, typical of southern men. He was dizzy after being lifted, but he immediately Realizing that something had happened, the old servant at the door and others had been knocked unconscious to the ground.
Just as he was about to speak, the masked man in black shouted: "Where is Hua Rong?"
He was startled, but quickly calmed down: "Who are you? Who is Hua Rong? I am an official of the imperial court, you dare to break in and assassinate me?"
This old thief is still pretending!
The man in black was Yue Pengju. With a strong hand, he strangled his throat. He stuck out his tongue and almost stopped breathing.
"Speak quickly, otherwise today will be the day you die."
"Yue Pengju! Do you dare to kill the imperial official?"
Now that he was recognized, Yue Pengju did not deny it and sneered: "You dare to kill my wife, why don't I dare to kill you?"
"This is a major crime against the Nine Clan! Besides, what evidence do you have? What does your wife's disappearance have to do with me? You can't frame me..."
"Qin Hui, don't even think about denying me. Today, I'm going to kill you. Otherwise, you will die..." Yue Pengju looked around, "Where is Wang Junhua?"
"She was not at home."
Yue Pengju felt even more confident, so he grabbed him and pushed him out.
"Someone is coming..."
His shouts were choked in his throat, so Yue Pengju knocked him unconscious with a swing of his elbow and carried him out directly.
Qin Hui went home to recuperate. He had been keeping a low profile for the past two years and did not dare to make any political enemies for the time being. In addition, the identity of "Su Wu" was concealed and he had no enemies. Therefore, the security of the house where he was recuperating was not particularly tight. It was already late at night. , everyone had fallen asleep, and Yue Pengju did not dare to be careless, so he quietly kidnapped him and climbed out over the wall.
As soon as his body was thrown to the cold ground, Qin Hui was shivering with cold even though he was wearing a long robe. He struggled to turn over and sit on the ground, trying to maintain some dignity, and said angrily: "Yue Pengju, you are so bold. Wait until I tell the emperor, You insulted and threatened the minister, which is an unpardonable crime..."
"Qin Hui, if you don't hand over Hua Rong today, you will die. How can you have the life to report to the emperor?"
"What does your wife's whereabouts have to do with me?"
Yue Pengju sneered: "Others don't know your identity as Qin Hui, but I don't know it either? You and your wife have long been planning to kill Hua Rong, and take advantage of Miao Liu's chaos to capture Princess Wanwan..."
"How dare you slander anyone? I was sick at home and never left for a moment. I didn't even go to the imperial court for recruitment..."
Recruitment by the imperial court.
Naturally, Yue Pengju didn't know Zhao Deji's plan, but after hearing this, he immediately understood that Zhao Deji was probably going to use Qin Hui again.
He was indignant in his heart, but he did not show it at all. He only said: "Perhaps, Miao Liu's rebellion is also due to you!"
Qin Hui, an old and cunning man, suddenly came to his senses and sneered: "What evidence do you have?"
Yue Pengju nodded honestly: "I have no evidence. There is simply no evidence at all. But, without evidence, I still have to ask you for someone."
"Hehe, in this case, I will always accuse you of falsely accusing the minister, and your nine clans..."
"Nine tribes? Qin Hui, you may not understand something. Apart from my wife and children, I have no other relatives. Now that my wife and children are missing, I am left alone. What should I be afraid of?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"I'm going to land on you and want someone."
Qin Hui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He never knew that this warrior would dare to use such a brutal move, but it turned out to be the most effective move.
Qin Hui cursed in a hissing voice: "Yue Pengju, I have no grievances with you, why are you forcing yourself on me? If you kill me, you will be ruined yourself. If you kill a minister, the court will definitely pursue it. You think you don't know what to do?" Aren’t you aware of the ghost?”
A good one with no grievances and no grudges!
Yue Pengju laughed, with the scarf still covering his head: "If you insist not to tell, you won't be able to see whether the court will investigate your death, right? Besides, who knows that I am the one who killed you? You also say that I have no grievances with you. No hatred…”
With a slight exertion of his hand, Qin Hui was strangled by the neck. He could no longer hold his breath. He tried to hold on, but couldn't. His eyes swelled horribly in the dark night, and he could only utter broken words of "Woo... ah..." sound.
Yue Peng raised his hand and said, "To say it or not to say it?"
Qin Hui was as angry as a gossamer: "I said, I said..."
"Where is Hua Rong?"
"How do I know?..."
Yue Peng waved his hand, and Zhang Xian came up and tied Qin Hui with his own hands. He raised his hand and stuffed a pill into Qin Hui's mouth.
Qin Hui only felt a fishy smell. Zhang Xian pinched his neck and the pills had already slid down. There was a gurgling sound in his throat, and Zhang Xian whispered: "You'd better be honest. If you can't find anyone, you have to If you don't get the antidote, you will die from the poison in three days. Aren't you pretending to be sick? Don't worry, others will think you died of illness. The court will praise you and give you a posthumous title because of your loyalty..."
Qin Hui was silent at all and only cursed angrily: "Yue Pengju, the world calls you a loyal and righteous warrior, but you turn out to be such a despicable villain..."
"What kind of people should be dealt with, what methods should be used. Qin Hui, you villain, don't blame me for not being a gentleman."
"Yue Pengju, you can actually use such methods... despicable..."
Yue Pengju sneered. Before this, he had never thought that he would use such a method. However, people are forced to move forward step by step, right
Yue Peng tried every means to find his wife, but found nothing. Thinking that Hua Rong had been "cheated" to Wuliting, judging from the actions of those people, there were only a handful of forces in this dynasty that could support such a dead soldier.
Desperate and desperate, he sought medical attention, so he set his sights on Qin Hui. He had deliberately planned to capture Hua Rong, who could hate her so much? It was the first time that my husband and I came to Lin'an, and we had no personal political enemies. As long as my wife was not in the Miao and Liu Army, where else could we go
Zhang Xian put him on his horse and said, "Qin Hui, if you don't tell me, you will die today."
"Yue Pengju, I have never met your wife at all..."
"You haven't seen her, even if you don't know her at all, I still want to ask you for someone. Mr. Qin, what can you do to me? Because besides asking you for someone, I can't think of anyone to ask for someone... "Yue Pengju looked around, "Since I dare to come to your house to arrest you, I'm not afraid of the matter being exposed. To tell you the truth, if anything happens to my wife and children, you and Wang Junhua will be buried with you. By the way, I forgot to tell you, your My adopted son Qin Xi is also in my hands. If you don’t want the whole family to die for my wife and children, you’d better tell the truth... "
