Chapter 991 Clean the Prince's Six Roots
Coveted the princess, even though Zhu Xian was about to be beheaded, the prince did not let him go!
This kind of ruthless and cruel method... The jailers immediately shrank back, and after sitting for a long time, they still felt chills all over their bodies.
When Zhu Xianse was squinting at the concubine, the prince could bear not to poach his eyes, so that he could see with his own eyes how the Zhu family was implicated by him to the end of the family's ruin, right?
Walking out of the cell door, the spring rain outside was still falling lightly. The woman held up an oil-paper umbrella, and stood in front of the carriage and looked at him with a slight smile.
Feng Qingbai smiled, all the gloom between his eyebrows dissipated, he stepped forward to take the umbrella, took the woman's hand and got into the car together.
"What did you do in prison?"
"Go clean the six roots for the prince of Cangzhou."
"...That's it?" Liu Yusheng didn't believe it, they were all going to be beheaded, it didn't make any difference whether they were eunuchs or not.
The man nodded calmly, "That's it."
Taking advantage of the situation, he ordered to the person at the front of the car, "Get out of the city and go to the pier."
They exposed their identities, and no matter where they went in the city, they would attract people to watch, which was very inconvenient.
Fortunately, the matter here has been dealt with, and it only needs to wait for the court to receive the information and send someone to take over. They don't need to stop much.
However, the carriage was stopped just a moment after it started.
"Minister Su Manyu begs to see the prince and concubine, she has something to say! Please spare the time to see the prince and concubine!"
Liu Yusheng raised the curtain of the car with his hand, and saw that Miss Su whom she saw at noon was kneeling in front of the carriage, completely ignoring the mud and water on the ground, letting the rain hit her.
"Miss Su, the affairs of the yamen are over, why are you kneeling and begging to see me now?" Liu Yusheng frowned.
"The daughter of the people just wants to intercede for my father. My lord and concubine Mingjian, my father has never participated in what the county guards have done for so many years, and has never been with them!" Su Manyu took two steps forward with red and swollen eyes, "Before The identity of the prince and concubine is unknown, and the daughter of the people once went to ask her father to intercede on her behalf, but she didn't want the situation in the yamen to change drastically. In a blink of an eye, my father was implicated and lost his job. The prince, the princess, my father is really innocent, he shouldn't To be punished like this, the prince and concubine have learned a lot!"
"How long has your father been an official here?" Liu Yusheng asked.
"Back to the princess, my father has been the magistrate of Cangzhou for fourteen years."
"I have been an official for fourteen years. It is impossible to know nothing about the Zhu family's affairs, but I do not report them. Even if I have never been with the same people, I will let them go. Do you know how many Cangzhou women have been humiliated and died over the years? How many people are persecuted by Shouhefu Yamen? As an official, it is a crime to stand by and watch. Your father is not innocent. Miss Su, please make way."
Su Manyu narrowed his eyes, and looked into the carriage beggingly, "My lord—"
No matter how much you spoil a woman, as a prince, you can't allow her to be arrogant because of her favor, and to overstep her role in political affairs. If the prince is not happy, maybe things will turn around.
However, the Qingyue voice coming from the carriage made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, extinguishing her last hope.
"What the princess said is what the king thinks. Let's go."
He didn't even say to give way, he just told the coachman to go, it meant that if she didn't give way, she was waiting to be hit!
"Drive!" The coachman started driving the carriage, and upon seeing this, Su Manyu hurriedly got up and moved aside.
The muddy water splashed by the wheels hit her all over.
Looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, Su Manyu's face was pale and he was crumbling.
That's it.
It was just a glance, and I wanted to create a chance to get close, but I didn't expect the consequences of being involved would be out of control.
The sheriff was down, the magistrate was down, and her father was dismissed and sent back to his hometown. In the blink of an eye, Cangzhou seemed to have changed.
Everything that was fine yesterday is completely overturned today.
In just one noon, she was reduced from a high-ranking Zhizhou daughter to a commoner, and even her father was stained by this, and she would never be able to step into the officialdom again in this life!
In the future, she will no longer be the noble lady of the official family who is admired and admired by everyone. I used to be with Zhu Xian, who in the whole Cangzhou city didn't know? In this downfall, those people will definitely not make her feel better.
It's over, it's over.
In the hazy rain, the luxurious carriage left the gate of Cangzhou City, went straight to Cangzhou Wharf, leaving the ancient city behind.
Liu Yusheng followed Feng Qingbai and his party to board the passenger ship bound for the northwest.
And when the news of Cangzhou spread to everyone, the Empress Dowager had already arrived at Xinghua Village.
The guard team he brought was too conspicuous. In order not to attract attention, Qin Xiao ordered the guard team to camp outside the village.
When they entered the village, it was only him, the empress dowager, and the old mother beside the empress dowager.
At the end of February, it is already the season of warm spring and flowers blooming.
The Qinghe River at the entrance of Xinghua Village is gurgling, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the river bank are blooming, swaying gently in the spring breeze.
The air is full of the fresh smell of soil mixed with water vapor, which makes you feel refreshed.
After crossing the Qinghe River, the whole picture of the big locust tree at the entrance of the village comes into view.
Before I got close, I could hear bursts of laughter coming from under the locust tree, which was very contagious.
The empress dowager lifted the curtains and looked under the locust tree, and saw Mrs. Liu, who was holding red beans and chatting with a group of women.
Croton, on the other hand, was in the arms of old man Liu, and was in the same camp as a group of old men.
Seeing the carriage entering the village, the people in the village were already surprised, "Old brother Liu's family has come again."
Whenever there is a carriage, it must be going to the Liu family compound.
Mrs. Liu's sharp eyes caught her silver hair, and she stood up in shock, "Hey, this old lady didn't say anything in advance when she came to the door, why did she come right away!"
"Be careful not to drop the red beans!" Seeing Mrs. Liu holding the red beans with one hand and slapping her thigh with the other, the empress dowager was so angry that she raised the curtains of the car.
"Don't worry, I can't fall, the old lady has experience in holding babies!" Seeing that it was her, Old Lady Liu narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I called you to come during the Chinese New Year, and we made an appointment to pick vegetables together. After the year is over, you came here instead, and you came at the wrong time, and the spring is about to sow, why do you want to go to the field with me to plant rice seedlings?"
The old woman came over chattering, patted the carriage, "Let's go home first."
Old Master Liu also caught up behind him, "Is Brother Qin still sitting there? Am I right? Hey! Are you here to drink with the old man?"
Qin Xiao poked his head out a little, and smiled at Mr. Liu, "Brother Liu, you told me to take me to drink with the old men in the village a few years ago, don't you forget?"
"I've never forgotten! Don't worry, as long as you come, we will definitely have a drink with you!"
The carriage picked up the old couple and went to the Liu family compound. Under the big locust tree, someone was panting, "That was the empress dowager just now, wasn't it?"
"Yes, the empress dowager also came when Zhiqiu got married last year. We've all seen that white hair before!"
"Hiss, have you noticed that the nobles who came to our Xinghua Village are getting bigger and bigger?"
Thinking about it this way, everyone found out that it was true.
