Chapter 206 Block
"Sir, can you please think of a solution?"
"This matter concerns not only my son's life, but also the life of your entire family."
Snapped!
"You still have the nerve to say that!!" Wang Liyang's eyes turned red with anger, and he wished he could kill this stupid father and son.
Wang Liyang could no longer care about anything else and immediately ordered his confidant to return home.
Firstly, he went to get the list as a tribute to Prince Beijing, and secondly, he told his descendants at home to prepare for escape.
Let them act according to the circumstances. If he is caught, they don't have to worry about anything and just leave the capital immediately.
After giving the order, Wang Liyang hurried to see Chu Zhongyuan.
"Please save me, Your Majesty."
Wang Liyang dragged his old body and knelt down.
"What happened?"
Wang Liyang pointed at Su Qingyu in the crowd, and Chu Zhongyuan saw Lu Ziqian next to Chu Zhongyuan at a glance.
After hearing the whole story, Chu Zhongyuan's expression changed.
After all, he accepted 100,000 taels of silver from Wang Liyang. If this matter was exposed, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
The prince will definitely hold on to him and put all the blame on him.
"Bastard!"
"You have caused this king great trouble."
"This humble official deserves death. The most urgent matter is to deal with the current situation. He must not be allowed to see the emperor."
"You don't have to say that."
"Where's the list in your hand? If you make a mistake today and another one tomorrow, do you think I'll have to help you clean up the mess all the time?"
"I have already sent someone to get it and will present it to Your Highness later."
"I promise I won't make any more mistakes in the future."
"Everyone on the list can be used by His Majesty. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
"Hmph!" Chu Zhongyuan was still very dissatisfied.
But the situation was critical and he had to deal with the following situation immediately.
Chu Zhongyuan stood on the city wall, looking at the situation below, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
You can't shoot arrows at this time, otherwise it will cause panic and attract the attention of the emperor, which will backfire.
But it is not very likely to get rid of that person without anyone knowing.
Lu Ziqian actually provided close protection, which showed that the prince's side had already planned this for a long time.
Seeing that he stood there motionless, Wang Liyang did not order his men to stop him. He was so anxious that his mouth was covered with bubbles, but he did not dare to urge him.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Ziqian finally escorted Su Qingyu to the war drum.
The guards next to the war drum saw that it was Lu Ziqian and did not dare to stop him.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
Su Qingyu beat the drumstick hard, and the people didn't understand why, so they cheered loudly along with the drumbeat.
The movement below quickly attracted the attention of those on the city wall. The emperor frowned and all the officials were confused.
The army hasn't arrived yet, why are they beating drums?
"Wei Zhong, send someone down to see what's going on?"
"Yes."
Wang Liyang watched the movement on the emperor's side and saw that Eunuch Wei had already come down from the city wall. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, saying, "It's over, it's over."
It was God's will that he die, and even the Third Prince couldn't save him.
Lin Che next to him was so frightened that he peed himself.
The emperor came from a poor peasant family and hates corrupt officials the most in his life!
The criminal law has always been harsh when dealing with corrupt officials!
At this moment, Chu Zhongyuan finally moved, walked quickly to the emperor's side, and whispered in a low voice.
"Father, I know who is beating the drum."
"He came to sue me, your son, for taking his wife away from him."
"Please spare my life, Father."
"Please, Father, don't meet him in public."
"I beg Your Majesty to spare me some dignity."
"Afterwards, I am willing to accept the punishment."
The emperor glared at him angrily and cursed him in a low voice, "You bastard."
He actually did the bastard thing of occupying someone else's wife, and even had her husband bring him to the imperial court for a disturbance.
At this time, Eunuch Wei stepped forward and reported quietly: "Your Majesty, the man beating the drum said he has been wronged and wants to file a complaint with the emperor."
"This is his complaint."
The emperor didn't even look at it. How could he watch such an embarrassing thing in public?
Those ministers are all very sharp-eyed. If they saw this, they would laugh to death.
"Lock him up first, and we'll talk about this later." The emperor waved his hand impatiently.
"Your Majesty, what is this petition?"
Chu Zhongyuan pretended to be embarrassed and touched his nose, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Wei Zhong was stunned and a little confused, then he looked at the emperor's intention.
The emperor glared at him again in annoyance and said, "Give it to him."
"Go away, you bastard! Reflect on your actions."
"Yes, I will retire."
Wei Zhong handed the complaint to Chu Zhongyuan with a confused look on his face. The emperor probably didn't know what the man was suing for, so why did he hand it over to the prince without even looking at it?
He had just read the complaint, which was a serious case of embezzlement of military rations.
Wei Zhong glanced at Wang Liyang. How could Shangshu Wang be so calm?
Could it be that he didn't know that the people under the city were here to sue him?
Lu Ziqian's men were watching every move on the city wall. When Wei Zhong handed the petition to Chu Zhongyuan, they immediately went down to report.
"General, the Emperor didn't even read the petition, but gave it directly to Prince Beijing."
"Why is this?" Lu Ziqian frowned.
"I wonder what Prince Beijing said to the Emperor before Eunuch Wei went up."
"Afterwards, the Emperor directly instructed Eunuch Wei to hand the petition to Prince Beijing."
Lu Ziqian narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew this would be the result. Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
In Jiaojiao's dream, he had already witnessed how powerful Chu Zhongyuan was.
I also know how much the emperor dotes on the third prince.
A few words from him could be worth the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Now he can lead the emperor by the nose with just a few words.
Oh, that’s really amazing!
Suddenly, Mo Shu appeared in the crowd and nodded to Lu Ziqian.
This means the list is already in hand.
In fact, he took the initiative to let Su Qingyu show up in order to lure the snake out of its hole and get the list.
Before today, he had been afraid that someone would be watching Wang Liyang's every move, so he waited for him to send someone to get the list, and then let Mo Shu follow behind and take the opportunity to intercept him.
Now that he has the list, he can get to work.
Wei Zhong went down the city wall again and wanted to have someone capture Su Qingyu first, but he disappeared.
"Where's the guy who just played the drum?"
Lu Ziqian said naturally: "Let's go."
"why did you leave?"
"He said he wasn't going to sue anymore. He might have been scared by what happened today."
"Oh, General Lu, how could you let him go? It's such a big thing and you just don't want to sue him?"
Lu Ziqian shrugged: "He didn't set any fire or kill anyone. If he wants to leave, he can leave. I can't stop him."
"Eunuch Wei, have you read the petition?"
"What big thing is written on it?"
Wei Zhong suspected that this guy was trying to trick him: "General Lu, don't you know? Didn't you escort him here?"
"When did I escort him?"
"I don't know him."
"I just came to join in the fun. When I saw him beating the drum, I thought he was causing trouble, so I approached him and questioned him."
"Eunuch Wei, please don't talk nonsense!"
"I haven't been to court for a while. I've been at home recovering from my leg injury. You can't blame me for everything."
Wei Zhong: “…”
