Chapter 68 Yan Qinghao Returns to Beijing
"What?"
Madam Yan’s eyes widened.
It can be said that Yan Qinghao is her greatest reliance and expectation. Even at this point, she still thinks in her heart that all she has to do is wait for Hao'er to return.
But now, Qin Mingzhu suddenly told her that Yan Qinghao was indeed coming back, but he was being escorted back!
"impossible……"
Madam Yan's mentality completely collapsed, and the expression on her face was very ferocious, like a vicious beast ready to devour someone.
Her fingers twitched at the sides, as if she was trying to grasp something tightly, but her current physical condition did not allow it.
Seeing Old Madam Yan so excited, twisting on the bed like a maggot, the smile in Qin Mingzhu's eyes grew deeper and deeper.
"What's impossible about this? Yan Qinghao didn't die on the battlefield and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Now, old lady, you should just hope that he won't be executed."
The light in Madam Yan's eyes seemed to be dissipating little by little.
Despair spread in her eyes.
Seeing that the message had been delivered, Qin Mingzhu stood up with a smile and glanced at Yan Yunrui.
"Were you complaining just now?"
Yan Yunrui's expression froze in an instant, and he grabbed the old lady's hand beside the bed.
In his heart, his grandmother is the most powerful person in the mansion, and everyone must listen to her!
"Grandma, please protect Rui'er. Rui'er is afraid..."
At this moment, there was a look of fear in Yan Yunrui's eyes.
As an older brother, he subconsciously looked at Yan Yunyue, as if wanting his sister to help him.
Yan Yunyue turned her head and ran directly behind Qin Mingzhu.
She knew clearly what to do that would be best for herself.
As for her eldest brother and grandmother, she is young and can't help much, so the most important thing is that she lives a good life.
Only by being obedient can you have delicious food and fun things. My mother never treated me so well before...
Qin Mingzhu's smile faded as she said to the maids outside, "Send the young master back to his room and confine him for two months. Give him some books on benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety to read. He must memorize ten pages every day. If he can't recite them backwards, he won't be allowed to eat."
"Yes, ma'am."
The servant at the door responded immediately.
Yan Yunrui's eyes widened. "I don't want to be locked up, and I don't want to read that kind of book!"
Qin Mingzhu has already walked to the door.
She frowned, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.
"Mother is doing this for your own good. Even if you can read, you must also have good character. Invite the best teacher in the capital who teaches filial piety, and have him come to our house and teach the young master for three hours every day."
"yes!"
Qin Mingzhu waved her hand and had Yan Yunrui locked up in the yard.
She didn't beat him or scold him, but just made him recite the teachings of benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety every day, and the eloquent old teacher tortured him every day.
Qin Mingzhu was a little curious whether doing this could make Yan Yunrui grow into a different person.
She re-formulated two different parenting methods for the two children, and then watched them gradually transform into the other one, which was very interesting...
…
The capital city was quite lively that day.
At the gate of Yanjing City, a team of dusty guards on horseback were escorting a prison cart slowly forward.
When the people on both sides of the street saw that the person in the lead was actually Governor Yan, they all looked over with great curiosity.
The faces of the people on the prison car were obscured.
I can't see who it is.
However, it still caused quite a stir.
It took Yan Fengxiao more than a month, and the people he arranged finally successfully captured Yan Qinghao from the Northern Frontier Kingdom.
After a march, Yan Qinghao was temporarily detained in the Governor's Mansion.
The prison van stopped and he was taken down from it and put into the iron cage.
When the hood was taken off, a handsome face was revealed, which looked disheveled but calm.
It has to be said that the eldest son of the Yan family has a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, and his every move is as elegant as that of a jade gentleman.
After finally seeing the light, Yan Qinghao raised his head and looked directly at Yan Fengxiao. His brows furrowed at first, then relaxed. “I can return safely, thanks to you, third brother.”
Even though he was escorted back as a criminal, he remained calm after seeing Yan Fengxiao.
Yan Fengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked his brother up and down. He hadn't seen him for a long time, but the other person still gave him an uncomfortable aura.
That kind of aura is called hypocrisy. It can be said that in his eyes, the person in front of him is a complete hypocrite.
His face was indifferent and he spoke slowly.
"If you have anything to say, save it for the front of the palace to argue with."
Yan Qinghao was very polite and said directly, "Please do me a favor, Third Brother. I need to meet the Emperor now and explain this matter in front of him."
explain?
Yan Fengxiao narrowed his eyes, revealing an endless cold light in his eyes.
"Five months ago, during the Battle of Changlin, you led 50,000 troops to attack the Northern Frontier army from the flank. However, you were ambushed and annihilated. All the soldiers and generals were killed in the battle, and only you, the commander, survived. I would like to ask, how could you have the nerve to survive?"
A bitter look appeared on Yan Qinghao's face.
"Third brother, I have my own difficulties. If I tell the emperor some things, he will definitely know everything."
The man in front of him lowered his eyes slightly, his expression a little guilty, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
As if he was the victim.
A cold glint flashed in Yan Fengxiao's eyes, and he suddenly said to his subordinates behind him: "Hang him up and interrogate him, and torture him to extract a confession!"
"Yes, Governor!"
Yan Fengxiao didn't intend to waste time talking to the other party.
Only after torture can you know whether what the other person said is true or false.
Yan Qinghao, who had been very calm, suddenly turned pale at this moment. He raised his head and looked at Yan Fengxiao. Because of his nervousness, beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
"Third brother, you and I are both from the Yan family, why do we have to kill each other like this?"
Yan Fengxiao raised the corners of his lips and didn't even answer the other party's question.
The guards on both sides immediately arrested Yan Qinghao and tied him to the rack in the cell.
He looked at the torture instruments placed on the wall and said to the executioner, "From beginning to end, let this big brother taste them one by one!"
"Yan Fengxiao!"
This time, Yan Qinghao was a little uneasy.
Even after being captured and brought back from the Northern Frontier Imperial City, he never felt hopeless along the way. After all, he was confident and knew that someone would definitely protect him.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he fell into Yan Fengxiao's hands, the other party would be so unreasonable and prepare to torture him directly!
The next moment, a long whip dipped in salt water was aimed at Yan Qinghao and whipped hard.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The severe pain made the man inside scream. Yan Qinghao, who had never suffered such torture, could no longer maintain the demeanor and courage that once fascinated thousands of women.
