Chapter 176
Just as Captain Yu Kuan said, before Tang Yin and others arrived, Zhong Wu had already come here and brought Wu Mei to the palace. Now Zhong Sang comes again and proposes someone. How can it be possible for two retainers? Isn't that strange?
The two asked: "Who does General Zhong want to mention?"
"All members of the Liang, Wu, and Ziyang families have been taken away." Zhong Sang answered simply.
Zhong Sang was afraid and bored of these two diners, and he always had the same attitude when they met, looking indifferent.
The two middle-aged diners looked at each other and frowned. One of them asked, "Do you have a handwriting from the king?"
Hearing this, Zhong Sang's little eyes immediately widened, his eyebrows raised high, and he said angrily: "When my brother Wang came to mention someone just now, did you two ask for a handwriting?"
"This..." The two disciples were suddenly speechless. Zhong Wu was Zhong Tian's eldest son. Of course he didn't need any handwriting when he came to mention someone.
Before the two of them could answer, Zhong Sang walked up to them angrily, pointed at his nose, and shouted angrily: "I want a handwriting, right? Let me tell you, my face is the king's handwriting. If you two think I'm causing trouble here, so I'll go find my Uncle Wang and find out." After saying that, he ignored the two of them and walked angrily to the wall of the wing. He stretched out his hand and pushed, and the wall opened with a sound, revealing a downward-facing tunnel. Long corridor.
One of the diners wanted to stop him, but was stopped by his companion, who whispered: "We don't want to interfere with other people's housework anymore."
For Zhong Sang, these two middle-aged disciples were also full of helplessness. Although they hated him very much, they did not dare to do anything to him. Zhong Tian also liked Zhong Sang, his nephew, and almost regarded him as his own. He treats it as his own son, otherwise, how could such an important matter as the custody of the royal ministers be left to him with confidence.
The two retainers no longer stopped Zhong Sang, but followed him into the dungeon.
This dungeon is five or six meters deep into the ground and has narrow passages. Anyone who enters it will be shocked by the openness in front of them. Thousands of the royal ministers and their clans are imprisoned here. With so many people, one can imagine how large the area is.
Zhong Sang had been here countless times, so he was very familiar with it, so he went straight to the place where Liang, Wu, and Ziyang's families were imprisoned.
The detention areas for the three families are adjacent to each other, with men and women separated, like livestock being kept in captivity, surrounded by thick wooden fences.
Zhong Sang's arrival immediately caused a sensation in the cell. People from the Liang, Wu, and Ziyang families naturally saw him. Seeing Zhong Sang coming towards them, people stood up from the ground and grabbed the wooden fence. Staring at him coldly.
Seeing this, Zhong Sang couldn't help but look up and laugh. Tang Yin also found it funny. Liang, Wu, and Ziyang were all from noble families. They were the traditional nobles of Feng Country. They were born to be pampered. When had they ever experienced such a thing, especially Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, as important ministers of the royal court, were usually respected and pampered by others. Now that they are their prisoners, they must be extremely angry and cowardly.
Ziyang Haochun was the most upright and least scheming of the three ministers. His hands were tightly clasped on the wooden fence, and his fingernails were about to break. Looking at Zhong Sang, who was walking slowly, the veins on his forehead were popping. No matter how high he stood, his teeth were clenching, and he couldn't bear to rush forward and bite him twice. It was a pity that he had already been forced to take the spirit-dispersing pill, and his spiritual energy could not be condensed. No matter how much he hated the people of the Zhong family, he could not All he could do was stare.
Zhong Sang took four square steps and came to him in a leisurely manner. He chuckled and said, "Master Ziyang, are you used to living here?"
"Bah!" Ziyang Haochun spat at Zhong Sang and said through gritted teeth, "You villain! If you have the guts, let me go out and have a fair fight with me!"
Zhong Sang smiled arrogantly and raised his fingers backwards.
The officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the cell knew what his gesture meant, and hurriedly ran forward and respectfully handed him a whip.
Zhong Sang grabbed the whip and swung it casually. The head of the whip struck Ziyang Haochun accurately on the chest. There was only a snap sound. Ziyang Haochun involuntarily took two steps back, and he was also shaking, as if he could fall at any moment. They will all fall down.
At this time, he had no spiritual energy to protect his body, and was no different from an ordinary person. In addition, the conditions in the cell were too poor. He had been angry and suffocating for days, and his physical condition was already extremely poor. He could not withstand Zhong Sang's whip. His face was bloodless, he gritted his teeth and fell down, his expression was ferocious, and his eyes almost burst out with fire.
At this time, other people in Ziyang's family stepped forward to support him, and then they all glared at Zhong Sang with righteous indignation.
Zhong Sang turned a blind eye to their anger and took it calmly. He pointed at Ziyang Haochun with the whip in his hand and said with a sneer: "Ziyang Haochun, you really think you are the same as before, you are a bullshit general. Let me tell you, in my eyes you are now a dog, even worse than a dog, and it would be easier to kill you than to crush an ant to death."
"You..." Ziyang Haochun had never experienced such cowardice in his life. He was so angry and anxious that a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he spit out the blood with a loud sound and sprayed it all over the floor.
Zhong Sang was also startled, muttering in his mind that he was acting a little too much. However, there was nothing to express on his face, nor was he ashamed. He sneered and said, "Don't scare me by vomiting blood. If you want to die, wait until I hand you over to you!"
When the surrounding officers and soldiers and the two retainers saw this, they all sighed in their hearts. What does it mean for a villain to succeed, and Zhong Sang is the best example.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. What's more, Ziyang Haochun was a dignified general in the previous dynasty of the royal court, and he was also Zhong Sang's elder. Now that he was being treated like this, even those who stood on the opposite side of Ziyang Haochun felt sour in their hearts and couldn't bear to look at him. .
But Zhong Sang was a relative of the prince, and even if everyone had complaints in their hearts, they were unwilling to offend him by speaking out.
Regardless of what others thought, Zhong Sang still issued the command arrogantly. He pointed at the cell door and said, "Open it and take all the people inside out!"
He is the commander of the regiment, and the soldiers below him just carry out the orders no matter what they are. After hearing the order, the jailers immediately stepped forward, opened the big lock of the cell, and then swarmed in, pulling and pulling, and drove out all the people in the cell.
"Child Zhong Sang, where are you taking us?" Ziyang Haochun asked angrily, enduring the huge pain in his chest.
"Haha——" Zhong Sang laughed twice and said slowly: "I'll send you on your way!"
Upon hearing this, the men of the Ziyang family were still fine, but the female relatives in the next cell all burst into tears. Ziyang Haochun also took the risk at this time. His spiritual energy was sealed, but his mouth was not sealed. He cursed loudly: "Old Zhongtian, you are treasonous and unethical. If you kill the monarch, you will be punished by God. I, Ziyang Haochun, will not let go even if he is a ghost." Get over him..."
Zhong Sang buttoned his ears indifferently, and then said to the jailer: "Go, go, go! Shut him up!"
The two jailers rushed to Ziyang Haochun, looked at him, and said with a look of embarrassment: "General, I'm sorry." As they spoke, the two tightened the chains on Ziyang Haochun's wrists, and then used A rag was tied over his mouth.
Zhong Sang pointed to the cell of the Ziyang family's female relatives and said, "And there are them? Everyone get in the car!"
"Yes! General!"
The jailers below obeyed his order and pulled out the female family members of Ziyang's family. The cries one after another suddenly became one. Zhong Sang didn't bother to look more, and continued walking deeper. When he came to the Wu family's cell, he first looked at the men's cell and saw Wu Yu sitting in the corner inside, with a gloomy face and silence.
He nodded secretly. Although the Wu family was weak in culture, they were very calm at critical moments. From Wu Yu to the female family members, they could keep their composure. This is the magnanimity a noble family should have. He took another deep look at Wu Yu, and then walked to the women's prison cell. Among the crowd, he saw Wu Ying at a glance.
She was still as beautiful and heroic as she remembered, but she looked a little more haggard.
His eyes swept over Wuying and slowly looked around at the other female relatives. As expected, Wumei was not found in the crowd. Zhongsang frowned secretly. One of the most important purposes of his coming this time was to rescue Wumei. Everything went so well. Everything went smoothly, but something went wrong, which gave him a headache.
Wu Mei must be rescued. If it is not possible, she must be rescued even if she has to force her way into the palace.
He was thinking about how to deal with it, but he still had a playful smile on his face. His eyes deliberately stayed on Wuying and turned around. After a while, as if he couldn't wait any longer, he shouted to the back: "Someone, please open this cell door first."
There were about 200 men and women in the Ziyang family, and escorting them out already made the jailers in a hurry. Now that they heard Zhong Sang's call, they had to send some more people over to take the women out of the dancer family. cell.
Zhong Sang ignored the others. When Wuying walked past him, he grabbed Wuying's wrist and said with a smile: "Young Miss has suffered a lot during this time. How are you doing? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" ." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched Wuying's body with feigning concern.
Wuying's eyebrows immediately stood up, and her almond-shaped eyes widened. Although she was born in a famous family, she was no ordinary lady, but a female general who could go into battle and lead troops in battle. She waved her hand violently, shaking Zhong Sang's eyes away. palms, and yelled at the same time: "Be presumptuous!"
Zhong Sang's expression changed obviously, but he soon softened. He grabbed Wuying's wrist again, brought her into his arms, and said with a smile: "If you can obey me, General, I will definitely tell you." Uncle Wang begs for mercy, not only to spare your life, but also to let your whole family live, why..."
Before he could finish his words, Wuying sprayed foam on his face. Her body was shaking with anger. She pointed at Zhongsang's nose and scolded: "Beast, shameless and obscene!" Coming from a dancer's family, this was already The worst curse word she could think of.
Seeing Zhong Sang being spat on by Wuying, the guards around him looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and they secretly cursed in their hearts: Damn it!
Including the two doormen.
