Marry the God of War Lord after rebirth

Chapter 84

Chu Zhao read out the imperial decree, ransacked the house together and beheaded him, and ordered Empress Chen to ban her from the phoenix seal at the same time.

The courtyard was full of people kneeling. Except for Concubine Wen, who was named by Emperor Jianyuan to replace the harem, who looked up proudly and excitedly, the others all lowered their heads, so that people could not see the reactions on their faces clearly.

Empress Chen knelt in the front row, clutching her dress tightly with her hands, veins were faintly visible on the back of her white and thin hands.

The prince knelt on the left side of Empress Chen, and seemed to be grinding his teeth in anger. He didn't need to look to know that his face must be full of gloom.

King Qi, who did not appear in the imperial decree, was obviously relieved.

After that came a few courtiers. Except for Chen Huaigao, the others knelt quite relaxed, probably because they had nothing to do with themselves.

As for Chen Huaigao, he didn't see any specific reaction, but when Chu Zhao asked them to accept the order, he suddenly knelt and crawled forward, and began to kowtow and beg for mercy, "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor is merciful, the minister is not strict, the minister knows his mistake, I would like to apologize with death and only ask the emperor to forgive me and the rest of the Chen family."

Crying and shouting, it sounded very sad.

Chen Huaigao also went to drag Chen Qiao, who had been bruised and swollen from the slaps on the back, and knelt down together, and pressed Chen Qiao to make him kowtow to confess his guilt, "Chen Qiao made a big mistake and deserves to die, I will never cover it up, I beg you The emperor bestowed death on the minister and this traitor, please spare the rest of my Chen family."

Chen Qiao, who had already been beaten stupidly, did not resist at all, and bled after being pinned down and knocked on his forehead a few times.

At the same time, Chen Huaigao also began to talk about what he had done for Emperor Jianyuan and the court over the years.

Empress Chen knelt on the spot without making a sound, and even stopped the prince when he wanted to speak.

My family didn't help, and the others didn't say anything, so they just stood up and watched the show.

Lin Xingzhi and Chu Zhao also deliberately gave up their positions so that the Chen family and his son could knock on the gate, so that they appeared sincere, and Emperor Jianyuan could feel it.

When they came out, Chu Zhao didn't close the door, and Emperor Jianyuan could clearly see the tricks at the door when he was in the house.

Emperor Jianyuan half-lyed on the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind, but he didn't look at the Chen family father and son.

Lin Xingzhi discussed with Chu Zhao in a low voice at the side, "Is this a bitter trick? I begged so hard first, but Emperor Jianyuan's heart was determined to punish his whole family, and finally he was forced to rebel or something. It seems quite logical. .”

Chu Zhaodao: "When people do bad things, they always like to find a high-sounding reason for themselves, in an attempt to confuse others, but they are the only ones who actually believe it."

It may be that he received too many slaps, and was pressed and kowtowed too hard by Chen Huaigao. After a while, Chen Qiao closed his eyes and lay down on the ground and passed out.

But no one dared to ask him a doctor or something. The only change was that there was one less kowtow.

Chen Huaigao did not give up, and begged for mercy louder.

Seeing that he was about to knock himself out, Emperor Jianyuan finally spoke, "You've made me so noisy, why don't you drag him down!"

In a word, it also showed Emperor Jianyuan's attitude that he did not intend to forgive the Chen family.

And these words obviously stimulated Chen Huaigao, he also closed his eyes and fell into a faint.

Lin Xingzhi was very emotional, "I didn't expect that the men of the Chen family would have the ability to pretend to be dizzy. It's really amazing."

Chu Zhao said: "Only in this way can they leave the palace."

Otherwise, if you are trapped in this palace all the time, how can it be convenient for you to carry out the following plans.

After all, it doesn't have to be sent to the execution ground, it can be cut off directly in the palace.

Chu Zhao asked Lin Xingzhi to guess, "What does the princess think Chen Huaigao will do next?"

The adulterous affair between Chen Qiao and Concubine Li was exposed too quickly. The Chen family's plan has always been to assist the crown prince to ascend the throne. They were not well prepared for the rebellion, and it was impossible to gather troops in such a short period of time. The only thing the Chen family could do was The only thing is to abscond to save your life.

When people are alive and everything is ready, they will kill them back.

The longer the delay, the better for them. On the contrary, Emperor Jianyuan wanted to cut the mess quickly and did not intend to give them a chance.

Lin Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "I guess Chen Huaigao had already prepared for the worst before entering the palace. Maybe the Chen family has already packed up their belongings and prepared to escape."

Of course, this kind of thing must only be the responsibility of the master. The abandoned servants of the Chen family were used to vent their anger on Emperor Jianyuan who couldn't catch the Chen family.

Chen Huaigao's begging for mercy and crying was probably not just a trick, but also to delay the time for the Chen family who wanted to escape.

Presumably Chen Huaigao would be rescued as soon as he left the palace.

However, Lin Xingzhi smiled, "My lord, we also have people."

When they left the palace, Shi Yue and Shi Mo followed, because they couldn't follow the palace and waited at the gate of the palace.

Both Shi Yue and Shi Mo knew the truth, so how could Chen Huaigao be taken away under their noses.

Especially in October, the Chen family is his master's big enemy.

Chu Zhao nodded, "So, it's time for us to leave the palace, and continue to watch the show at the gate of the palace."

Before leaving, Chu Zhao said a few words to Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen said with a smile on her face, "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Li, there will be no storms in this harem for the time being, unless some people don't want to live anymore."

Although she didn't name her by name, when she said this, she glanced straight at Empress Chen, her meaning couldn't be more obvious.

That's right, Emperor Jianyuan already had a problem with Empress Chen. If she became a monster again, Emperor Jianyuan would get rid of her without hesitation.

Concubine Wen has the backing of Emperor Jianyuan, so it is not difficult to restrain Empress Chen who has no power to rule the palace.

So Chu Zhao didn't say anything more, and left with Lin Xingzhi.

The prince was very angry, looking at the backs of the two, he was so angry that his teeth were almost broken, but he was stopped by Queen Chen, so he didn't say anything.

King Qi, on the other hand, took a few steps to catch up with Chu Zhao and the two of them. He didn't go around and asked directly, "Is this another game you set up, right?"

After asking, without waiting for Chu Zhao and the two to answer, King Qi laughed at himself and said, "I thought I played a good game of chess, but I didn't expect to become your pawn. Chu Zhao, I have to admit that when it comes to strategy and calculation , no one can match you."

It may be that revenge is imminent, and Chu Zhao is in a good mood, so he opened his mouth to explain the confusion for King Qi, "This matter really has nothing to do with me, maybe everything is a coincidence, and you are lucky, after all, in Queen Chen's plan, damn it The person is you."

"In that case, the king should be lucky," but King Qi didn't believe Chu Zhao's words at all in his heart. He even felt that since Sun Yushan was killed and his body was hung at the gate of King Qi's mansion, he had to go into the palace to find Concubine Li. It's all part of the game, and it was Chu Zhao who had planned it long ago.

Lin Xingzhi curled his lips at King Qi's obvious expression of disbelief, "You're so funny, you don't believe us when we tell the truth, and you ask again if we don't tell you, aren't you tired?"

"Besides," Lin Xingzhi added, "what is there for us to lie to you?"

King Qi also nodded in agreement, "Yes, you have never put this king in your eyes."

"Not only you, but also the prince, the queen, and even the father, who never took this king seriously. After hearing such words, I don't even have the part to punish me. I think I don't have the guts to do it. Touch his woman."

King Qi sighed, "It's really funny, the dignified prince, the prince, can't even compare to a golden feathered guard."

"Do you think this king is pathetic? After so many years of careful flattery, it's still just a joke in the end?"

Lin Xingzhi was also very emotional, he said, "It's not a joke, you are sick at most."

He would be unbalanced because Emperor Jianyuan didn't punish him, and his brain would be broken.

Moreover, when the imperial decree was announced before, he was obviously relieved to hear that he would not be punished. After a while, he changed his attitude and began to blame others.

Lin Xingzhi simply pulled Chu Zhao and urged him to walk faster, he didn't want to talk to this person anymore.

King Qi didn't follow up immediately, he only took a deep look at their backs for a while before stepping forward, since no one cared about him, he wanted to make everyone look at him with admiration.

When Lin Xingzhi and Chu Zhao arrived at the gate of the palace, Shi Yue and Shi Shi had just finished catching the last person, and the guards at the gate of the palace tied them up.

Seeing the master coming, Shi Yue immediately came to report, "Master, Wangfei, these are all here to rob someone, rob Mrs. Chen."

Both Chen Huaigao and Chen Qiao were lying inside the palace gate, and they were still fainting at the moment, so they didn't know if it was true or not.

Shi Yue and Lin Xingzhi explained: "Oh, there was a fight just now, and I didn't care about them, so I left it here first, isn't it a neglect?"

That's what he said, but judging from Shi Yue's expression, he probably wished that the two of them would lie on the ground all the time, and it would be fine to neglect them to death.

Of course, my family must not expose my family, Lin Xingzhi said cooperatively, "It is also a helpless move, how can it be considered negligent."

"Besides, the ground is better than the prison. It is clean and still sees light."

After Lin Xingzhi finished speaking, he tilted his head, "Since the assassins have been caught, let's send them to the prison together, escorted by you and Shi Mo."

"Okay," Shi Yue responded quickly, then turned around and broke the arms of those who came to rescue Chen Huaigao.

Those who have the kung fu are not safe in the cell, so they have to be careful.

Regardless of whether it was real or fake, the Chen family father and son were still sent to prison, and Chu Zhao could not have given them a chance to escape under his nose.

And then, they should go to Chen's house.

Chu Zhao took Jin Yuwei with him, and went straight to Chen's house with the imperial decree.

As they guessed, those left behind by the Chen family were servants or unfavored concubines and concubines, and the others had disappeared.

Chu Zhao commanded Jin Yuwei, "Arrest people first. Remember to pay attention to everyone's reaction when arresting, remember what they said, and report to the Ministry of Punishment for records. These people will be handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation."

We share weal and woe, Chu Zhao wants revenge, but he doesn't want to kill innocent people in the name of revenge.

For the rest of these people, the servants reacted more than the master. They didn't know what happened to the master, but from their attitudes, it could be seen that they used to bully others.

As for the masters who were left behind, except for a few who were cursing, the others were all terrified and tearful, but they were also used to it, and they did whatever they wanted.

After all the people were taken away, Chu Zhao asked Jin Yuwei to search the house, looking for money, jewelry and some correspondence hidden in the mansion.

After a short search, Jin Yuwei came to report, "His Royal Highness, there are not many valuable things in this mansion, especially gold, silver and jewelry."

Those who searched felt that something was wrong, the Chen family was a relative of the emperor, and Chen Huaigao held a high position, not to mention that he had destroyed the Yuexi Kingdom, so he must have seized a lot of money.Even if the Chen family absconded and brought some, it is impossible to take them all away.

No matter how you look at the empty Chen Mansion, it arouses suspicion.

But there is no gold and silver, but there are a lot of letters, and it seems that there is no intention of destroying any evidence, so it is even more weird.

"Is there any secret room, all hidden in the secret room?" Someone offered an idea.

Another person pointed to the pond, "Hiding in the water is also possible. Corrupt officials have done this before."

The leader immediately said: "Then the officer will take someone to search carefully."

"Actually, there is a third possibility," Lin Xingzhi said when the Golden Feather Guards were about to turn around and search again.

All the Golden Feather Guards immediately bowed their hands, "I also ask the princess to give me some pointers."

Lin Xingzhi just remembered that in his previous life he followed the crown prince to a house in the Chen family. The house looked ordinary from the outside, but when he entered the house, he found that the house was completely made of gold and silver. They are all carefully selected treasures of the time, pearls and jade can be seen everywhere, and there are rooms specially used to store gold and silver, which are piled full.

Not to mention the amount that was converted into bank notes, Lin Xingzhi was eye-opening.

And most of the money in it was given to the prince by him, and the prince transferred it to the Chen family for safekeeping, and he could pick it up when he needed it.

Because of trust, the prince took him to see it.

But that was several years later, the Chen family definitely doesn't have that much money now, but it's not like this house has nothing.

Lin Xingzhi didn't directly disclose the address of the house, but only mentioned the possibility, and Chu Zhao ordered: "Then take someone to search outside, the Chen family can't buy the house in a lively place, it is very likely that it is a single-family house In the remote alleys, the investigation will not take much time."

"Yes," the leader Jin Yuwei immediately called some people and asked them to search according to what Chu Zhao said.

The matter of money has a direction, but people, "His Royal Highness, the people of the Chen family may have escaped from the city, do you want to send someone to chase them as soon as possible?"

Chu Zhao shook his head, "It's impossible for them to get out of the city."

He didn't allow it, and King Qi wouldn't allow it either.

Before entering the palace, Chu Zhao had already ordered Nan Xing to take people outside the city to guard him. When he encountered the Chen family members who escaped for their lives, they would arrest them if they could, and kill them if they couldn't.

As for King Qi, he arranged this debunking plan step by step, how could he let the Chen family live, there must be someone near the city gate.

Therefore, the escaped Chen family members were either still in the city or had died.

"Wait a little longer," Chu Zhao looked back at the direction of the Chen family's gate, "The news is coming soon."

"Yes," everyone took orders.

These Golden Feather Guards did not expect that they would one day listen to His Royal Highness King Li's orders. They were servants in the palace and knew the wind direction best. According to King Li's previous situation, no one thought that he would be able to stand up and be destined for the throne.

But looking at it now, this is actually the prince closest to the throne.

They were still considering whether to take the opportunity to curry favor with the prince, but Chu Zhao had already led Lin Xingzhi to sit in the pavilion next to him, and started admiring the fish.

It may be that the Chen family is very busy, or the servants are diligent. The koi in this pond are almost as big as the fish sold outside, with a round belly. Lin Xingzhi looks quite greedy.

But now is not the time to eat, Lin Xingzhi thought of something, "there are still people in the Chen family at the border, the one who was sent to guard the mine, should we write a letter to dad and ask him to arrest him .”

"No, he's probably dead."

Mentioning this person, Chu Zhao's eyes showed a slight hostility. He had sent a letter to the border after King Qi found out about Concubine Li and Chen Qiao's affair.

Written to the second uncle, let him find a way to get Chen Chuan into the battlefield, and then lead the grassland tribes to get rid of him!

That person coveted his princess, how could he let him live.

Lin Xingzhi didn't know what Chen Chuan thought about him, but he guessed what his prince was doing.

Lin Xingzhi said: "It deserves it, Chen Chuan is just as bad as Chu Qin, all animals deserve to die!"

"Well," Chu Zhao nodded, believing that the second uncle would not let that bastard go, even if he died, it would be miserable.

Speaking of the border, Lin Xingzhi thought of the continuous fighting at the border, sighed and said: "I don't know when the war will end, and if the fighting continues, it will affect the cultivation of grain."

"Hurry up," Chu Zhao said, "both grassland tribes and Xijie people are short of food. If there is another accident, the war should be over."

The battle situation was at a stalemate, and the enemy was no longer as brave as they were at the beginning. After the situation turned around, Father Lin and the others were able to free up their hands and start to fight back.

Chu Zhao patted Lin Xingzhi to comfort him, "Don't worry."

Lin Xingzhi was about to nod, when suddenly he heard someone shout, "His Highness King Qi is here."

Jin Yuwei ran from outside to the pavilion to report to Chu Zhao, "His Royal Highness King Li and King Qi have come down, bringing with them the... corpses of the fleeing members of the Chen family."
