The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 476 Luxurious Prison Sent Team

When the two purple-robed prime ministers arrived at Xinlingfang holding the imperial edict, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the most serious turmoil in Kaifeng City since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

There are many people involved, and a little carelessness will lead to a court storm, which is definitely not a good thing for the new Great Zhou Dynasty.

The moment Wang Jun saw Fan Zhi and Feng Dao appear, his tense heartstrings relaxed. He was a little happy, but also a little uneasy.

He didn't know if Guo Wei was aware of the arrangements he made with the imperial guards in front of the palace, and how he would deal with him.

Feng Dao unfolded the imperial edict and read it out to the public expressionlessly: "I already know what happened today. Wang Jun will immediately enter the palace and give me a detailed report of the case face to face.

Zhu Xiu and Shi Xiangwen disturbed the public order in Kaifeng and were immediately taken to Dali Temple Prison to await trial.

Prime Minister Fan Zhi, together with Dali Temple Minister Zhang Hang and Minister of Punishment Jing Fan, were ordered to try the Xinlingfang murder case and find out the cause within ten days.

Ask Feng Dao to deal with the matter of comforting the family members of General Chen Kang.

After Chai Rong, Li Chongjin and others escorted Zhu Xiu to prison, they entered the palace to see me. "

Feng Dao gathered the imperial edict, held it high above his head, and shouted solemnly: "The official sage!"

Immediately a cry was heard in Xinlingfang: "The official sage!"

Li Chongjin hit the ground hard with the black iron gun in his palm, causing gravel to fly everywhere. He glared at Wang Jun fiercely and spat fiercely. He really took advantage of this monster.

Fan Zhi expressed some concern for Zhu Xiu. Seeing that he was not in danger, he smiled and said, "Master Zhu, please take a good rest."

Zhu Xiu grinned and said weakly: "After entering the sky prison, I can't help but rest and recuperate~"

Fan Zhi smiled and said: "Sometimes a prison is a good place to cultivate your moral character and avoid disasters."

Said, Fan Zhi blinked meaningfully.

Zhu Xiudao: "In that case, why don't you invite Fan Xianggong to stay with me in the prison for a few days?"

Fan Zhi was stunned and quite speechless. He cupped his hands and smiled dryly: "Master Zhu is joking, please take care of yourself."

Fan Zhi turned around and left, his legs and feet moving very quickly, fearing that Zhu Xiu would say something shocking again and that he would not know how to answer.

This Lord Zhu Hou, who was sent to heaven by the government, still has a sense of humor
"Your Majesty, can you order the sergeants to get out of the way, and let me escort Mr. Wang back to the palace?" Fan Zhi bowed to Chai Rong.

Chai Rong said hurriedly: "Thank you Mr. Fan, please!"

Chai Rong made a gesture, Cao Bin nodded, and ordered the Tiger Wing soldiers to retreat and let Wang Jun and others come out.

"Ms. Wang, please!" Fan Zhi smiled and saluted respectfully.

"Thank you." Wang Jun said with a straight face, cupped his hands, and walked past Chai Rong expressionlessly.

Fan Zhi glanced at Shi Yanchao, and said softly: "General Shi, please lead the army back to Longjie's office."

Shi Yanchao said hurriedly: "May I ask Fan Xianggong, has the official summoned the general?"

Fan Zhi shook his head, with some regret and sympathy in his eyes: "The officials asked you to stay in the military office to await orders, and you are not allowed to leave."

Shi Yanchao was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "The last general has received the order!"

Chai Rong realized something and hurriedly stopped Fan Zhi and whispered: "General Shi came here at my invitation. This matter has nothing to do with General Shi from beginning to end."

Fan Zhi bowed slightly and said: "I also asked you to report to the officials face to face. Fan is just following your orders."

Chai Rong watched Shi Yanchao lead a part of Long Jie's army to leave Xinlingfang. He couldn't help but frown, worried that officials would misunderstand Shi Yanchao.

"stop!"

Li Chongjin shouted loudly, and generals Liu Qingyi and Liu Shouzhong led their men to stop Zhao Kuangyin, Li Jixun, Han Chongyun, and Wang Shenqi.

"These four are members of Wang Jun's gang and are inseparable from the murder. Come and arrest them!" Li Chongjin said angrily.

Li Jixun and Han Zhongyun's expressions changed, and they subconsciously drew their swords to resist.

They have always been close to Wang Jun, and they are worried that Li Chongjin will take the opportunity to retaliate, so they will never let him go easily.

Zhao Kuangyin held down the two men's sword-holding hands and said hurriedly: "I have checked all the reports. Today, the four of us came to Lingfang to discuss military affairs on the orders of Wang Xianggong. We knew nothing about the deaths of the two generals Chen Kang.

We are willing to cooperate with the court's investigation, but before Xianggong Fan finds out the facts of the case, is it a bit against the rules to arrest the four of us and put them in jail? "

Li Chongjin laughed angrily and was about to curse when Chai Rong said in a deep voice: "The four of you will go back to your office for the time being, waiting for summons from Dali Temple. Until the case is found out, there will be no changes in your duties."

"I sincerely obey your order!" Zhao Kuangyin and the four others hurriedly saluted.

After the four people left, Li Chongjin cursed: "Zhao Da'er and the four people have clearly taken refuge with Wang Jun. Why don't you take advantage of the moment to drive these four guys out of the imperial army in front of the palace?"

Chai Rong said: "There is no evidence to prove that the four of them are connected with Wang Jun. Wang Jun is the prime minister and privy envoy. It is common to call the generals of the imperial army to inquire about military affairs, and there is nothing wrong with it.

These four people are all young talents in the Forbidden Army. If they are dealt with rashly, they may not be able to convince the public. We will wait until Fan Zhi finds out the facts of the case. "

Li Chongjin snorted, noncommittal.

He didn't notice that Chai Rong's eyes were cold as he stared at the backs of the four people.

In any case, it was a fact that these four people got close to Wang Jun, and Chai Rong was naturally dissatisfied.

Especially for Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong felt a little disappointed.

This old subordinate of the Tianxiong Army did not show due loyalty when the struggle in the court became increasingly fierce.

Among the forbidden soldiers brought by Li Chongjin, Shi Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would be implicated.

Feng Dao stood next to Zhu Xiu with his hands behind his back and said jokingly: "Master Zhu Hou, can you still breathe?"

Zhu Wu and Bi Zhenhai held him up, and Zhu Xiu grinned: "If the old master comes later, I will go to Western Paradise first to wait for you to grow old~~~"

Feng Dao rolled his eyes in anger, twirling his beard and scolding: "Bah! You brat still dares to swear at me? If I had known better, I would have given Han Chongyun 100 taels of silver and asked him to chop off the boy's head with a knife!"

"Hehe, you can't buy this head for 100 taels, hehe~"

Zhu Xiu coughed and was out of breath, showing her weakness.

"Hmph!~ You know how powerful you are, you dare to be so bold in the future!" Feng Dao gloated and waved to a carriage with Feng's logo to come forward.

"Why don't you two help this kid get into the car quickly?" Feng Dao said angrily.

When Zhu Xiu tried his best to climb onto the carriage, he opened the curtain and saw Feng Qingchan sitting upright inside. "Uh you~"

Zhu Xiu was stunned. Feng Qingchan reached out to help him sit in the carriage and whispered: "Lie down quickly and I will diagnose your injuries. Internal injuries that linger for a long time can easily damage your vitality."

Zhu Xiu smiled bitterly and said thank you, then lay down obediently on his side. Feng Qingchan knelt half in front of the couch, placing her cold fingers on his wrist. After checking his pulse, she untied his clothes and exposed his chest. A pair of cold little hands were on his wrist. A groping on the chest.

"Your hands are so cold." Zhu Xiu shivered, a little comfortable and a little cold.

Feng Qingchan pretended to be serious, but her cheeks slowly turned red.

"The internal organs were injured, fortunately there is no serious problem, but it takes three months of meditation to recuperate before it can heal. Other traumas are not harmful, and the wound will be fine after cleaning and bandaging."

Feng Qingchan spoke softly, more like comforting herself, and her originally tense heart relaxed a little.

At this moment, Li Chongjin rudely opened the curtain and stuck his black head through the car window: "Brother, you..."

In the carriage, Li Chongjin's eyes widened as he saw Feng Qingchan's white and tender hands caressing Zhu Xiu's open chest.

His good brother Zhu Xiuzheng was leaning against him with half-closed eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face, and moaned from time to time.
The air in the carriage was stagnant for a few breaths, Li Chongjin muttered: "Excuse me, you continue!" He retracted his head, not forgetting to close the window.

Feng Qingchan knew that he had misunderstood, and spat in embarrassment. Zhu Xiu was also a little embarrassed, pretending to be seriously injured, and screamed in a low voice.
"Is Zhu Xiu okay?" Chai Rong asked hurriedly when he saw Li Chongjin's strange expression.

Li Chongjin pouted: "I can't die, I'm just enjoying it!"

Chai Rong looked at him doubtfully.
Bi Zhenhai and Zhu Wu stayed behind to deal with the corpses of the Laoying brothers who died in Xinlingfang, while Chai Rong, Li Chongjin, and Zhang Yongde "escorted" Zhu Xiu's "prison car" to Dali Temple.

~~~
Zhao Kuangyin and the others left Xinlingfang. Han Chongyun looked back and spat: "Chai Junhou and the others were too protective of Zhu Xiu. The death of General Chen Kang was clearly caused by Zhu Xiu. Wang Xianggong What’s wrong with arresting a murderer?”

Li Jixun remained calm and silent. After thinking about today's events calmly, he felt a little strange.

Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Shenqi ignored him, and Han Chongyun said angrily, "Zhao Yuanlang, I'm all to blame today for asking me to cut off Zhu Xiu's head early, so how could there be so many troubles!"

Zhao Kuangyin said calmly: "You kill Zhu Xiu, and then what? Waiting to be cut into pieces by Li Chongjin and Fu?"

Han Chongyun was stunned and said angrily: "I killed the criminal on the order of Wang Xianggong. What's wrong with me? Wang Xianggong has the final say in this matter, so he will protect us!"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and glanced at Han Zhongyun's head a few times, wanting to pry it open to see if it contained Taihelou's famous dish, tofu brain.

Li Jixun said solemnly: "What happened today becomes weirder the more I think about it. There must be something we don't know about it."

Wang Shenqi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Everyone, the court affairs are decided by the officials. The officials are wise and powerful. They will never let the villains manipulate them, and they will never wrong the good people. We will still obey the words of the princes. Just wait for the summons at the Yamen Office!"

Han Chongyun glared at him angrily: "Well, Wang Shenqi, Mr. Wang usually treats you well and intends to accept you as his adopted son. Unexpectedly, today he has made matters worse!"

Wang Shenqi smiled calmly, clasped his fists and said, "That's it for now, you all can take care of yourself!"

After that, Wang Shenqi got on his horse and drove away.

Li Jixun and Han Chongyun also left together.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Wang Shenqi's walking figure from a distance and thought thoughtfully. Wang Shenqi would not defect in battle without any reason. There must be a secret behind him.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Kuangyin spotted a familiar figure flashing past the gate of Xinlingfang and hurriedly turning into an alleyway.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned and suddenly recalled that this person seemed to be Zhu Xiu's trusted subordinate when he was in Jingzhou, a petty official named Tao Wenju.

This man seemed to have betrayed Zhu Xiu and joined Wang Jun. Zhu Xiu had brought his portrait to him to help him find out his whereabouts.

Today's murder in Xinlingfang seems to have been caused by this person.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked around and followed quietly.
~~~
In front of the government office of Dali Temple, a large group of people gathered in Wuyangyang.

Zhang Hang, the minister of Dali Temple, led a group of officials to personally greet them and say hello one by one.

Most of these people were women and children, but Zhang Hang couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Princess Shou'an Guo Qing, sisters Fu Jinzhan and Fu Jinhuan, father and daughter Shi Kuangwei and Shi Lingyan who came in a hurry from Jiao Jixun's house, and the female family members of the Hou family, Yang Qiaolian and Zhou Xian.

Hundreds of guards from the Princess Mansion, Hou Mansion, and Fu Clan gathered together, armed with knives and guns, the officials of Dali Temple were terrified. Could it be that this posture is about to demolish the government office?

"Master Hou is here!" Ma Qing limped forward excitedly.

Prime Minister Feng Dao's car drove in front, followed by troops led by Chai Rong, Li Chongjin, and Zhang Yongde, and finally the vehicles escorting prisoners. The long queue occupied most of the street, and the Dali Temple officials were stunned to see it.

Is this "escort" or "escort"?
When did the murder criminals who were sent to the Dali Temple Tianlao receive the super-standard treatment of being cleared by the prime minister and protected by the royal family?
Zhang Hang, the minister of Dali Temple, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly to himself. The officials were sending a hot potato~
No, it's not just a hot potato, it's simply red-hot coals!

Zhu Xiu pushed open the car window, stuck her head out, smiled on her pale face, and waved to the women and children who had been waiting for a long time.

"This bastard scared me to death!" Guo Qing cursed with a smile.

"Zhu Xiu!" Shi Lingyan cried and laughed, waving his hands vigorously. If Shi Kuangwei hadn't grabbed him, this girl would have rushed forward.

Fu Jinzhan patted his younger sister's hand and said in a low voice, "You can rest assured now."

Fu Jinhuan hummed softly, his eyes wet and red.

"Brother Xiu, just be okay!" Yang Qiaolian wanted to cry at the top of her voice, but suddenly remembered that it was inappropriate for such an occasion, she choked up and resisted the urge to cry.

Zhou Xian was dressed as a nun and stood out among the crowd. Zhu Xiu couldn't help but look at her more.

Well, this girl looks pretty good in this outfit, there is a strange temptation
Seeing that Zhu Xiu was safe and sound, Zhou Xian's heart finally fell to the ground. He bit his teeth lightly and wanted to retreat silently, but Yang Qiaolian grabbed his arm.

Yang Qiaolian whispered: "Mrs. Zhou, you can't leave! You are also a Zhu family, so you can't let others see the Zhu family's jokes and think that Brother Xiu's family is uneasy!"

Zhou Xian struggled to free himself a few times, but couldn't get away. He stood there with his head down uncomfortably.

Ma Qing wiped away tears and helped Zhu Xiu out of the car. Fu Jinhuan, as the first wife who had not yet passed the wedding, was naturally the first to come forward and greet her.

Just as he was about to speak, another person stepped out of the car, and it turned out to be Feng Qingchan. All the girls were stunned.

Zhu Xiu explained embarrassingly: "This. Thanks to Mrs. Feng for treating me along the way, she gave me a few injections along the way to relieve my internal injuries. Cough~ I have the strength to walk and talk now~"

As he spoke, Zhu Xiu leaned on Ma Qing weakly, covering his chest and coughing twice.

Feng Qingchan looked calm, she looked at Fu Jinhuan, looked down, and nodded slightly.

The girls gathered around Zhu Xiu, but no one spoke, and the scene fell into a strange silence.
Chai Rong, Li Chongjin, and Zhang Yongde stood watching from a distance. Li Chongjin counted the numbers on his fingers and muttered: "Zhu Xiu has four, and I am only one. No, I want to marry a few more."

Zhang Yongde patted him on the shoulder and said in the tone of someone who had experienced it before: "Believe me, don't cause trouble for yourself. It's fine to keep it outside, but don't take it home."

Unfortunately, Guo Qing happened to step forward, and when he heard Zhang Yongde's words, his expression became extremely exciting.

Chai Rong and Li Chongjin looked at each other and turned to the side in a tacit understanding.
