The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 144 The First Lady Dies (1)
"Eunuch Zhao, what are you..." Xiao Yunhe asked with a worried expression when he saw Eunuch Zhao holding an imperial decree and the gate was also surrounded by the imperial army.

Eunuch Zhao moved some of the dust in his hands, held the imperial decree in front of him, and said in a sharp voice: "Master Xiao, accept the decree."

Xiao Yunhe was supported by the Qin family, he was so weak that he couldn't even stand up straight, he had been in the court hall for many years, and he had seen many turmoil in the court hall, seeing the imperial army's aggressive actions, Eunuch Zhao's unfriendly tone, he had expected this I am afraid that the Taoist decree will be a disaster.

"My humble minister, my minister's wife sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Xiao Yunhe knelt down tremblingly, Qin shi followed him and knelt down.

Eunuch Zhao raised the corner of his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and then unfolded the imperial decree in his hand and read it aloud.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor ordered that Xiao Yunhe, Minister of the Household Department, holds a first-rank important position and has been deeply favored by the emperor. It has been found out that Xiao Yunhe, Minister of the Household Department, is corrupt and perverting the law. He is actually a moth of the country and a great harm to the people. Immediately, the post of Minister of the Household Department will be removed, and he will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I will never return to Hanyang City, and future generations will never be allowed to enter the court as an official, respect this."

As soon as Eunuch Zhao finished reading the imperial decree, Xiao Yunhe trembled from fright, and sat limply on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Although Qin's body was not paralyzed by fright, her expression was in a daze, with a look of difficulty accepting the facts on her face.

Eunuch Zhao held the imperial decree in both hands, seeing Xiao Yunhe collapsed to the ground in fright, without reaching out to receive the decree, he whispered again: "Xiao Shangshu accepts the decree."

"Grandpa Zhao, this is not true. My master has been an official for many years and has won the trust of the emperor. How could the emperor put my master into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Did you take the wrong imperial decree?" Qin finally regained her senses. He shook his head violently, his apricot eyes were wide open, and while shaking his head, he knelt and walked a few steps forward, reaching out his hands to grab Eunuch Zhao's robe.

Qin's hands tightly twisted Eunuch Zhao's robe, and his emotions were close to madness: "Eunuch Zhao, you must have taken the wrong edict, the emperor will not treat my master like this."

"Let go, let go quickly." Eunuch Zhao was very displeased when he saw that his robe was being wrinkled by the crazy woman under his feet. He kicked his legs and pulled his robe, trying to shake Qin away. .

She is about to change from a high-ranking Mrs. Shangshu to an official slave. Her status is one in the sky and one in the earth. How can the Qin family care about being dignified and virtuous? He grabbed Eunuch Zhao and didn't let him go.

Eunuch Zhao kicked a few times, but he insisted on not throwing Qin Shi away, and he was furious.

"Come here, pull this crazy woman away from the Sa family."

As soon as Eunuch Zhao finished speaking, two imperial guards jumped in from the door. These two imperial guards walked up to Eunuch Zhao, and dragged Qin Shi away with two hands.

"Lord Xiao accept the order." Eunuch Zhao lowered his head and looked down at the top of Xiao Yunhe's head, the shrill voice sounded again.

Eunuch Zhao spoke again and again, finally causing Xiao Yunhe's limp body to move, his eyes gathered together, and finally gained some focus.

"I accept the decree, long live my king." Xiao Yunhe stretched out his hands, speaking in a tone that was no less than ten times more desolate than before.

Eunuch Zhao handed over the imperial decree to Xiao Yunhe's hands, he didn't want to stay for a moment when Qin made such a fuss just now, he turned around and walked outside the door of the Minister of the Household Department.

"Commander Zuo, I will leave the rest to you. The Sa family will return to the palace first." Eunuch Zhao stopped at the door of the Minister's Mansion of the Household Department, and said a word to the person at the door.

Today, together with Eunuch Zhao, he came to copy the House of Minister of the Household Department, and the person who took him was the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

"Although Eunuch Zhao can return to the palace with peace of mind, I will definitely handle the matter properly."

Although the Zuo Commander of the Yulin Army held an important position in the third rank, he had to be polite to the chief eunuch who was close to Emperor Xuande.

"En." Eunuch Zhao showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then walked away with a few young eunuchs.

"You, you, you... go and escort the people from the House of Ministers of the Household Department out."

"You, you, you... guard all the doors, not even a single fly can be let out."

"You, you, you...follow me to ransack the house."

"Yes, my lord." The Imperial Forest Army responded in unison, all of them were strong and strong men, and their voices resounded throughout the House of Minister of the Household Department.

After twenty or thirty imperial guards received their orders, they filed into the Hubu Shangshu's mansion, and Xiao Yunhe sat paralyzed in the mansion, holding the imperial decree in his hand, his face pale as death, lifeless.

Qin's emotions were too agitated, and the two imperial guards had no choice but to escort her all the way.

"You brave slaves, I am Mrs. Hubu Shangshu, let me go quickly, or I will let you die badly, and I will let you confiscate your family and exterminate your family."

Although the Qin family was escorted by two imperial guards, she was restless at all, and she cursed angrily with red eyes.

Crack, a resounding ear-melon, knocked Qin's head to one side.

"You crazy woman, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame the two brothers for being rude to you." One of the guards who escorted the Qin family was really impatient, and rewarded Qin with a loud ear.

The Imperial Forest Army hit Qin Shi's face with all his strength, Qin Shi's flawless white face suddenly swelled up, five finger prints were clearly left on her face, and she didn't dare to yell anymore , just a pair of red apricot eyes, with teardrops rolling down.

"You dog slaves, this is the House of the Secretary of the Household Department, how dare you arrest me." A moment later, all the servants of the Xiao House were driven to the gate of the house, and because Xiao Teng resisted, they were escorted out by the Imperial Forest Army .

When Xiao Teng was escorted out, he saw Xiao Yunhe and Qin Shi at the first sight. Seeing Xiao Yunhe sitting on the ground like a dead fish, he asked Qin Shi: "Mother, this is what happened. How could these Imperial Forest Army break into the house?" The government came to get someone."

"Woooo..." Qin Shi stared at Xiao Teng, but she didn't answer, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Mother, please don't cry, you are talking about what's going on." Seeing that Qin Shi did not answer, Xiao Teng became anxious, so he raised his voice and urged Qin Shi again.

Seeing Xiao Teng, Qin Shi calmed down a bit.

"Teng'er, your father lost that ledger. Now that the incident has happened, the emperor found out that your father was corrupt. He wants to put your father in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and... he will also choose a day to execute your father. Once you die, but...but you will be assigned as an official slave, and you will not be able to return to Hanyang City for eternity, and your descendants will not be allowed to enter the court as an official again." Qin's tone of speech was broken, and she was so sad that she couldn't speak, tears The embankment broke and rolled down her cheeks.
