Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 205 Waiting For The King
"It's not good, master, something serious happened."

"What's the big deal? Is Qi Cheng coming again? I'm going now." Wang Yong stood up reflexively, and was about to walk out the door, but was stopped by the voice of the servant.

"...No,...not." The servant ran out of breath because of anxiety, bent down to support his knees, and said intermittently: "...Yes, it was General Linwei who came to raid the house with an imperial decree." At the end , the servant was still crying faintly.

These words made Wang Yong stunned in place as if struck by lightning. He turned his head to look at the servant mechanically and said, "What did you say? Copying the house? And who is General Linwei? Is there a general in our court?"

Poor Wang Yong has been busy with the affairs of the Imperial Academy, and has ignored the generals and officials.Except for some senior and well-known generals in the court, Wang Yong can still remember, other generals have long forgotten.

"That's... that's the servant of Qi Bingbu." The servant wanted to cry without tears.

Qi Ze?Wang Yong felt that his mind was blank and his body was weak, so he couldn't help holding on to the table for support.He had forgotten that Qi Ze was not only the servant of the Ministry of War, but also General Linwei who was appointed by Emperor Zhaozheng himself.

Although General Linwei became famous for repelling the Beishuo enemy army, but Qi Ze's job is still the servant of the Ministry of War.After returning to Southern Chu, Qi Ze never managed military affairs again. Correspondingly, his reputation among generals was greatly weakened, and Wang Yong forgot about it.

After waiting for a while, Wang Yong finally realized that Qi Ze came here this time to ransack the house.

But why copy the house?Their Wang family obviously did nothing, except to help the prince to fill the vacancy of officials in private, nothing.

Wait, the official fills in the vacancy.During this period of time, he has been busy with Qi Cheng and Wang Wenchang's affairs, leaving aside the matter of filling in vacancies for officials.But it is impossible to be discovered. He obviously did it so covertly, it is impossible to be discovered by others.

Wang Yong thought about it for a while, and then he regained his strength, and immediately ran out of the house to see the mess in the yard.People panicked and tried to flee with their looted belongings. There were accidentally dropped gold and silver jewelry and precious porcelain that were accidentally smashed on the ground.

When everyone saw Wang Yong coming out, they were taken aback for a moment, and then ran away in a panic, especially some of the concubines Wang Yong favored in the backyard of the Wang family, who were running away in a hurry with famous calligraphy and paintings and precious jewelry in their arms, fearing that Was caught by Wang Yong.

Wang Yong stood in a daze looking at the mess and disorder, and faintly felt the arrival of decadence in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family would completely disappear from the court before it became prosperous.

Just as he was thinking, Wang Yong heard a bang, and the door was knocked open. Outside the door was an indifferent and gentle nobleman, with a group of strictly disciplined imperial guards behind him.

At this time, this noble young master was wearing a brand-new black robe and silver armor, which made him taller and taller.He walked in slowly, calm and composed, and his behavior was elegant and noble, like flowing clouds and flowing water, in sharp contrast to the people who fled in a hurry and had no image.

Qi Ze paced through the fleeing crowd unhurriedly, speaking in a voice as warm as flowing water and jade colliding, which made the stunned person tremble.

"Academician Wang, this general was ordered by the Holy Majesty to arrest the thieves who ignored the court order. I also ask Academician Wang to obey the law obediently, and don't make things difficult for this general."

Seeing the cold young man approaching step by step, Wang Yong felt flustered, but he still argued glibly: "A thief who ignores Chao Gang? Who is General Linwei talking about? Our Wang family has always obeyed the law, and there really is no such thing as that." A thief who ignores Chao Gang. Did General Lin Wei go to the wrong place?"

Qi Ze just glanced at Wang Yong, and then said calmly: "Whether this general has gone to the wrong place, I believe Academician Wang knows it well. As for the thief who ignored the imperial court, he is now standing in front of this general, and the imperial decree is written in black and white. It is clear that the thief is now in the Wang family, and the general here is only following orders. Does Academician Wang mean that the imperial decree is wrong?"

Facing Qi Ze's sharp words, Wang Yong couldn't find a breakthrough for a while.Unexpectedly, not only did he not fool the past, but he was also charged with doubting the majesty of the royal family, which he could not bear.

"What did General Linwei say? How could I suspect that the imperial decree was wrong? It's just that the thief is really not in the Wang family now. I'm just afraid that General Linwei will make a futile trip." Wang Yong smiled, trying to To confuse the audience, he spoke with difficulty.

"Academician Wang can rest assured, this general really didn't make this trip in vain. Just now the general said that the thief is in front of the general now, how could the general make the trip in vain?" Qi Ze poked Po, approached slowly, stared at Wang Yong with calm eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, "Do you think the general is right? Academician Wang."

Wang Yong was terrified by Qi Ze's sudden approach, he quickly backed away, and tried to escape, and said in a flustered tone: "I really don't know whether what General Lin Wei said is correct, I only know that the thief is not in the Wang family." , and ask General Linwei to leave."

"Heh, you're really obsessed, and you're still trying to deceive this general." Qi Ze said coldly, "Come here, arrest all the family members of the Wang family and put them in prison. They will be executed immediately at [-]:[-] noon today. There must be no mistakes. "

"Yes." The imperial guards behind made a uniform and loud voice, and then dispersed to arrest people.

This voice startled Wang Yong, and he wanted to reach out to stop him, but found that he was powerless.

"Academician Wang, you are filling in the vacancies of officials privately and ignoring the Holy Majesty, this crime is not wronged to you." Just when Wang Yong was panicking, he heard Qi Ze's cold voice.

Seeing the matter so far, Wang Yong disregarded his fear of Qi Ze, and retorted with a grinning grin: "General Lin Wei said that this official fills in the vacancies privately, so do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, you can't talk nonsense."

"Oh, of course the general has the evidence. Besides, the Holy Majesty has already seen it, so it can't be faked." Qi Ze took out a stack of documents from his arms and threw it at Wang Yong's face.

Those documents included the list of officials and the documents in which Wang Yong forced the children of poor families in relevant positions to resign, as well as the evidence of some officials who were fish and meat of the common people.

The documents list the crimes of each commoner in great detail, and the documents for forcing the children of poor families to resign even indicate that they used money to threaten the lives of their families.

Wang Yong looked down at these detailed documents in disbelief, and stood there in a daze.

He did it so covertly, but he was found out anyway.

"So, does Academician Wang have anything else to say?" Qi Ze's warm voice rang in Wang Yong's ear.

What else can I say?After all the evidence was presented, it was Emperor Zhaozheng who made the decree himself, so could it be wrong?However, if someone is sent to the Prince's Mansion to ask for the Prince's help now, it may be too late.

As soon as Wang Yong had this thought, the people next to him seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "What is Academician Wang thinking? His Royal Highness is not coming down anymore. Today, the general of Japan passed by the Prince's Mansion and happened to see His Royal Highness I am drinking tea and composing poems with His Royal Highness King Qin. With such elegance, His Royal Highness may not have time to come."

It was just a simple sentence, but it exploded in Wang Yong's mind. His Royal Highness was restrained by King Qin, so he couldn't come.But why did King Qin take care of this matter?The tribute banquet has been going on for so long, and the king of Qin has never been involved in anything, so why did the king of Qin take care of this matter?

The official's filling of vacancies was about to be completed, but he was dug out at this time. His years of hard work and painstaking efforts were in vain.What to do?He doesn't want to die.

Just when Wang Yong was at a loss, he heard the sharp sound of one or two guards, and the sound of the door opening.

"Come out, stand up, don't get on the ground."

As soon as the sharp voice fell, a weak and confused voice was heard, "What's the matter? Who are you? Why did you break into my house?"

Listening to the familiar voice of fear and panic, Wang Yong seemed to come back to his senses, "Wenchang."

Wang Yong hurriedly ran to the door of the room, just as the two imperial guards mentioned Wang Wenchang, walked to the door, and threw the skinny boy into the corridor.Wang Yong hurriedly helped up the weak young man with a pale complexion, and hugged him in his arms very distressedly.

"Father, what happened? Why did this group of people break into our house?" Wang Wenchang asked with his chapped pale lips while leaning on Wang Yong's arms blankly.

Wang Yong just stared at Qi Ze in the distance, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wang Wenchang took advantage of the situation to look over. It didn't matter, but he saw the person he was very afraid of.His eyes widened in an instant, his body trembled in fright, and he retracted deeply into Wang Yong's arms, his fingers as thin as bamboo poles tremblingly pointed at the person in the distance.

"Qi...Qi Ze." The young boy was so frightened that his face was covered with sweat, and his complexion turned even paler. He turned his head to look at the person who was holding him, and exclaimed in surprise, "Father, it's Qi Ze. Qi Ze is here again. Dad." While speaking, Wang Wenchang didn't know where the strength came from, and he shook Wang Yong's shoulders crazily.

Looking at Wang Wenchang who was already so skinny, Qi Ze was slightly surprised.She didn't expect to be so thin. She thought that Wang Wenchang was weak at most, but who knew that he could not even stand firmly.

The man in the black robe and silver armor in the middle of the yard approached the corridor step by step, and the young boy in Wang Yong's arms tried to shrink into his arms in fear, his complexion became more and more gloomy.

Qi Ze looked at Wang Wenchang who was afraid of her, and lost interest in going up to check.After standing still and looking around the yard for a week, he found that except for the servants, almost all the family members of the Wang family were captured. All the female family members, including Wang Yong's concubine and concubine, were crying and begging for mercy.

Looking at the two people in the corridor, Qi Ze waved his hand to let the imperial guards step forward to catch him, then turned around and took the lead to leave, and threw all the Wang family members into the prison, waiting for the final trial.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the imperial guards brought up the Wang family in dirty prison clothes and escorted them to the guillotine.Under Qi Ze's supervision, as the long wooden plaques behind many Wang family members were pulled out, their heads also fell to the ground.

Blood spurted out immediately, and the blood red sprinkled the entire execution ground. Under the hot sun hanging high, there was a disgusting smell of blood.This smell also made Qi Ze frowned, feeling sick for a while.

The Wang family was defeated like this, and completely disappeared from the Southern Chu court within one day!The power network that Murong Sheng was about to build up in a few years was completely shattered!
Originally Qi Ze thought she would be happy, but the discomfort in her heart made her feel chest tight, and she didn't feel happy at all.

At the same time, in a teahouse closest to the execution ground, a young boy smelled the disgusting smell of blood in the air, put down the pastry in his hand, couldn't help covering his nose, and said with nausea: "No, Yan Xi, Close the window quickly, the smell of blood is disgusting." Then he turned his head aside and couldn't help retching.

The man in white next to him shook the folding fan with a smile on his face, and joked: "I said that the execution ground is very bloody, and it's not suitable for children like you, but you still want to follow, what can we do? But at the same time, he looked at the young man in purple and asked, seeing the young man in purple nodding, he raised his hand and closed the window.

The young man in purple kept his eyes on the indigo figure on the high platform below, seeing the discomfort on the face of the person in his heart, he couldn't help lowering his eyes to cover up the deep meaning in it, and he didn't look away until the window was closed.

"Why didn't you two respond? The smell of blood is too bad." Yi Xingke frowned, feeling unbalanced in his heart.

Meng Yanxi was still waving his folding fan smartly, and said with great honor: "Of course, I was the one who followed Yelang to the battlefield. The battlefield was full of corpses and blood flowed like rivers. The smell of blood was much stronger than this. You'll be fine in a few days."

"Cut." Yi Xingke turned his head unconvinced and said, Meng Yanxi didn't mind either, and continued to wave the folding fan chicly.

"By the way, Yelan, did you just go to the Prince's Mansion to drink tea with Murong Sheng to reminisce about the old days?" Meng Yanxi stopped the folding fan in his hand and asked.

"En." Que Yu nodded lightly, "The Wang family will be destroyed today, years of power cultivation will come to naught, how can this king give Murong Sheng a chance to save the situation in time?"

Meng Yanxi nodded in agreement, "I guess Murong Sheng is quite angry right now."

"Heh, years of hard work go to waste like this, Murong Sheng will of course be very angry." Que Yu changed his posture leisurely, resting his chin with his hand and said lazily.

While the three of them were talking, they heard the sound of the room door opening. Shang Lu was holding a note in his hand, walked over quickly, and handed it to Que Yu.

Que Yu took it and looked down at the contents of the note.

"What's the matter, Yelan, is there any new news?" Seeing this, Meng Yanxi couldn't help asking.

"En." Que Yu responded lightly, "It's nothing serious, it's just that this king will leave Nanchu for a while."

"Leave?" Yi Xingke looked up in surprise.

"Yes, during this period of time, Prince Qin's mansion will be handed over to Meng Yanxi to take care of it temporarily, and I will be back soon." Que Yu lazily stood up and walked towards the door. Shang Lu also hurriedly followed him. back.

The young man in purple walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Meng Yanxi, and..."

Although Que Yu didn't finish speaking, Meng Yanxi understood, nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will also take care of Qi Ze for you. If any accident happens, I will send you a message in time. It's okay, let's go."

Hearing this, Que Yu just nodded lightly, then turned and left.

In Fusheng Pavilion, Qi Ze was sitting in front of the desk, with his hands resting on his chin, his head slightly lowered with a weary expression, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

"Why are you so lethargic, have a fever?"

At this time, one hand was placed on Qi Ze's forehead to carefully sense the temperature, and the other hand was placed on his own forehead for comparison.

"My forehead is not hot, and I don't have febrile disease. Then why do you look so listless?" The other party said in a magnetic voice.

"It's nothing, I'm not sick, I'm just thinking about something." Qi Ze said lightly, and brushed away the hand on her forehead.

Que Yu, who was behind him, didn't mind, and sat beside the woman and asked, "Oh? What are you thinking about?"

The woman lowered her head, and after a long time, she replied in a deep voice, "Death."

The man was a little stunned when he heard the words. He looked at the woman, and heard the woman continue to say: "This time, the evidence for filling in the officials' vacancies will be handed over to the Holy One. Not only the Wang family will suffer, but also the officials who have been filled in. Wang Yong is here A few years ago, the Imperial Academy began to recruit talents. Up to now, the number of disciples of the Wang family has reached 2000. The emperor decreed that the whole family of the Wang family should be executed. That is to say, because I searched and handed over the evidence and destroyed the Wang family, the two thousand innocent lives will also die because of me."

Although some of the recruited officials took advantage of the power of Murong Sheng and the Wang family to do a lot of evil in the local area, but more people did nothing.They just obeyed the orders of the Wang family and were bewitched by Wang Yong, the so-called mentor.

Most of the people who had just entered the Hanlin Academy had young faces, had never experienced the cruel beatings of the court and the coldness of the world, and the human feelings were indifferent.They are still immature, they only know to obey Wang Yong's orders, and they don't even know that the official positions they got were obtained by Wang Yong secretly forcing and threatening the poor family's children to resign.

When they still don't know anything, they will be executed for the same crime as the royal family and beheaded in public.

"I let two thousand innocent lives die because of my own interests." The woman said with a self-deprecating smile.

The man looked at the woman for a while, then sighed, "So you are in a bad mood because of this."

"I'm not in a bad mood." The woman immediately retorted, stood up and took a few steps forward, retorting forcefully: "I'm so happy, how can there be any harmful person in the world who will be in a bad mood after killing people all over the house? After all, I But there is no such thing as conscience, if the death of those 2000 people can help me bring down Murong Sheng, of course I will be very happy."

Looking at the duplicity woman in front of him, Que Yu couldn't help shaking his head.This girl is obviously in a bad mood because of this incident, because the conscience of those 2000 people who died because of her has been condemned, and she is still pretending that she doesn't care about anything.

"Really?" The man also stood up, walked to the side of the woman, hugged his chest and joked: "What a coincidence, this king doesn't have a conscience. This thing is too high-end, and this king doesn't have one."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect the man to say such things to coax her.After a long time, the woman turned around and looked at the man seriously and said, "Then don't you understand? Today I will risk two thousand lives for my own benefit, but tomorrow I will hurt others, even you. "

Hearing what the woman said, the man didn't care at all, but bent slightly, stared at the woman's serious eyes, and asked: "But you, Qi Shaoyi, know it?"

"No." The woman replied decisively, then turned her head and continued: "It's not good for me to hurt you, and there's no need for me to do it."

"Since you have admitted that you won't hurt this king, what are you still doing in a bad mood?" Que Yu's magnetic voice came.

Qi Ze immediately turned his head and looked at the man ready to argue, "I'm not in a bad mood, I just..."

Before the words were finished, the man gently held the woman's face, put his gentle and slender fingers on the corner of the woman's mouth, and gently pushed her up.

"You still look good when you smile, remember to smile more in the future." Que Yu was very satisfied seeing the smile on the woman's face.

Qi Ze: "..." This guy.

Feeling that the man's firm arms were about to hug him, Qi Ze planned to dodge, but was stopped by Que Yu, who raised him up high.

"His Royal Highness, what are you doing? Put me down, I'm not a little girl, what are you doing lifting me up so high?" Looking at the gradually higher vision, Qi Ze gritted his teeth and looked down at the man.

But the man seemed to be enjoying it, with a cheerful smile on his lips, he said, "Qi Shaoyi, this king will leave Nanchu for a while, so..."

The corners of the man's mouth curled up, and his smile deepened. Regardless of the woman's struggle, his arms slowly bent, and his face gradually approached.

So... what to do?You can leave if you want, but she can't stop her.Qi Ze watched Que Yu's face approaching slowly, couldn't help feeling flustered, and planned to use his arms to block it.But before he had time, he felt his body sinking rapidly, his forehead was pressed against the warm forehead of the other party, and a familiar magnetic voice sounded in his ears.

"So wait here obediently for the king, the king will be back soon."
