Chapter 487 Prison
The emperor twisted the jade ring on his thumb, his expression showing no emotion or anger.
Ji Tong paused for a few seconds before saying: "Although Beizhi is a nobody, Beizhi has been waiting by his side. It took him a long time to find out in secret."
"Why did he keep you waiting by his side?"
Ji Tong said . Tong once again used the same cliche saying: "Back to your Majesty, I am an Apocalypse person living on the border of Mobei. My parents were killed by the Mobei people. The general took pity on me and accepted me as his subordinate. He has been with me for many years."
"So, then Jiang Wenjing can be regarded as your savior?"
Ji Tong nodded.
The emperor asked again: "But now, you are reporting him?"
"Although the general has done me a favor, I am still a citizen of Tianqi after all, and what the general has done is a big mistake. If I continue to allow him to bully me, "I'm ashamed to tell you the truth!"
Ji Tong carefully chose his words, fearing that a wrong word would arouse the emperor's suspicion.
After he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and said with grief: "The general has been kind to me, but please forgive me. "Sir, treat today as the general's own account of the incident and spare the general's life!"
He was so sincere that everyone in the hall couldn't help but believe him a little.
While he was talking, the emperor had finished reading the letter presented to him. He looked at Xu Yanli and Jiang Kangan with a serious look and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Jiang Kangan was about to speak, but the emperor raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Forget it. Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhiyu are both in Nanlong now. There is a war in Mobei imminent, so it is difficult to verify. Send down the order to put all the people in the Xu Mansion, except the women, into the imperial prison. After the verification, we will take action! "
This matter has not been finalized yet. I will send the Jinyiwei to guard the Xu Mansion. Anyone who approaches, no matter who it is, will be treated as treason."
"Dismiss!"
The emperor stood up and left.
The Jinyiwei Qianhu led his men forward. , to put pressure on Xu Yanli and Jiang Kangan.
Xiao Yanli looked down at them. After they left the palace, Ji Tong got on a carriage behind him. Xiao Yanli then ordered, "Have you told Xing Maozhi?"
"My lord, I have told Lord Xing. The grass is damp. , you can rest assured. "
Xiao Yanli nodded with satisfaction.
He would pay back to the Xu family tenfold for what he had experienced in the imperial prison!
...
Imperial prison.
Xing Maozhi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the figure of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, He could not wait to greet them.
Jinyiwei Qianhu: "Are you ready?"
"Everything is ready. Although it is certainly not as comfortable as Xu's house, it is definitely not much different."
Xing Maozhi personally led people to the innermost
It can be seen that the furniture in the cell is all new and does not fit in with the cell .
Xing Maozhi carefully looked at their faces and asked, "Are you two satisfied?"
Xu Yanli bowed and said, "Thank you for your help
, Master Xing." Xing Maozhi could not bear this bow and waved his hands quickly, "Oh, Master, Sir, please don't scare me. As long as you are satisfied, the emperor has specifically ordered that you two must not be treated unfairly. "
"Then you two can rest first. I will go out first. "
Xing Maozhi and Jinyiwei Qianhu came out at the same time, and the jailer guarding outside closed the door, blocking all sight.
After the captain left, a soldier nearby saw that there was no one around, so he dared to come forward and said, "Sir, how do you explain to the Sixth Prince? We will definitely send someone to check on him later." "
Look for the two men in the prison . If people of similar stature are put in, their hair is loosened, their clothes are changed, and their backs are facing the door, who can recognize them? " Xing Maozhi looked at him impatiently: "Do you need me to teach you such a small
thing?"
He quickly retreated to look for someone.
...
Nanlong.
The Great Elder stood in front of the temple for a long time before someone took him in.
The High Priest sat in the middle of the altar, his eyes tightly closed.
The Great Elder bowed slightly: "Nanlong The high priest must have known about this matter. I came here to ask him where the gunpowder buried by the envoy of Tianqi is. "
There was silence.
The snake on the cane spit out its tongue. The elder kept bowing for a long time before the high priest said, "Sit down first."
The elder: "???" He
sat down in confusion.
The high priest's hands had already wrinkled the clothes in places that were not visible.
I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it anywhere!
She suddenly stood up.
The elder: "???"
was startled by her . The elder looked at her with a bit of confusion, and then he heard her say, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."
She turned around, opened her eyes, and tried not to appear too hasty to go in.
The Great Elder did not notice, his attention was focused on the High Priest's face. His
expression remained unchanged, it was true.
Was it only the God's messenger, or was there some kind of medicine to help?
The eyes of the great elder showed deep desire.
In the inner room, the high priest leaned over the bed, speaking in a very low voice, fearing that people outside would hear.
She said, "Mother, he asked me where the gunpowder was buried. , but I looked for a long time and couldn't see it. "
Her tone was full of the girl's coquettishness.
The person on the bed didn't make a sound. After waiting for a while, he suddenly started coughing violently!
The high priest: "!!!"
" Mother? Mother, what’s wrong with you? Wait a minute, I’ll go call the witch doctor…”
A bony hand grabbed her.
After the violent coughing sound, the high priest heard an excited voice above his head: "You said you didn't see anything?"
The high priest nodded hesitantly.
"Yes, yes! That's it!"
Yes? What's right?
She took a moment to think, and then reacted to the excited sound of the person on the bed saying "yes yes" and "yes", "So I was right? There is no gunpowder buried by the Envoy of Revelation in Nanlong!"
This was the second time she was right in all these years!
She was so excited that she couldn't say more: "Great! Mother, you should take good care of yourself. I will send the old man outside the door away first, and then call the witch doctor!"
She jumped out of the door, and when she saw people, her steps became steady and dignified.
She sat back on the altar: "The gunpowder is gone, you can rest assured."
Gone?
So the Envoy of Revelation only buried three?
And they searched almost every corner of Nanlong?
Being played around by others is not a pleasant feeling. The face of the great elder darkened. He stood up and said, "Thank you for explaining this to the high priest. I will inform the king later."
Later?
The high priest was a little confused. The next moment, the great elder said, "During the sacrifice, the high priest's body suffered a backlash. Is he better now?"
"He's fine now."
"Then I'm relieved. By the way, the king also wants the high priest to treat Princess Tudora. The high priest..."
"No," the high priest said before he finished, "Tudora is guilty. Her injuries cannot be cured."
