Chapter 691: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 138
Two days later, a group of death row prisoners were taken to the execution ground. They were all people who had committed heinous crimes and the common people had also suffered greatly from them. Along the way, people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them.
Yuwen Yi was in charge of escorting these prisoners. He did not hold a high position in the Ministry of Justice, and his green official uniform did not stand out. The common people did not know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was among the crowd.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince held much higher official positions in the court than Yuwen Yi, but he didn't care about this little thing. Let the emperor do whatever he wanted. The emperor had no other choice but to disgust him like this.
Anyway, the Ministry of Justice is now under his control. Shangshu Nie and he share the same interests and both cannot stand dirt. In the past, they had to be more cautious, but now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Ministry of Justice, Shangshu Nie works even harder, and all the cases that he dared not solve have been solved. The higher his position, the harder Shangshu Nie works.
When the prisoner car was halfway on the road, someone on the side of the road shouted: "The prince is so cruel that he insisted on killing our brothers! We brothers are all heroes of Liangshan who are chivalrous and righteous! We all do chivalrous things by robbing the rich and helping the poor. Big brother, you don't deserve to die!"
"My fellow villagers, these people have been wronged. The government is not a good thing. They protect each other and oppress the people. Let's fight them and rescue these innocent people!"
Su Ziyan was sitting in a private room on the second floor. A smart person should be able to plan behind the scenes. She found some ruffians and gave them a little benefits to make them work for her.
She was not short of money at all. She could just go to any bank and ask the shopkeeper to give her the money directly. These days she lived in Room No. 1 and ate the best food. She wore a veil to cover her face slightly, which made it much easier for her to move around. No one noticed her at all.
Su Ziyan was very confident that the people must have a lot of complaints about the government, especially the Ministry of Justice which would arrest people at every turn. A little provocation could lead to a melee.
With a bang, a rotten egg hit Wang Er. An old man angrily yelled, "You are their accomplice! Beat you to death, you shameless dog. There are accomplices here. Officers, come and arrest them!"
"My poor daughter committed suicide at such a young age, all because of these evil people. They are worse than beasts. I wish I could eat their flesh and drink their blood. They deserve to die!"
"They are murderers and arsonists. They almost burned down our street just to steal our money. If the government hadn't caught them, we would have lost our lives."
The people were not instigated at all. Instead, they chased after the ruffians and beat them up. They were living a good life. Who would be so stupid as to go against the government?
Su Ziyan was very angry. These people had been brainwashed and had no spirit of resistance at all. They were so ignorant and deserved to never get ahead in their lives.
Fortunately, she has prepared more manpower, and should be able to kidnap these death row prisoners.
Some people began to attack the prison van, but the officials from the Ministry of Justice were not to be trifled with, and a fight broke out between the two sides.
Seeing that they could not win the battle, the prisoner robbers began to retreat, and those who were unlucky were captured.
Su Ziyan was very angry. These people who were hired at a huge cost were still useless. They didn't work hard at all and took the money but didn't do their job!
Su Ziyan had to go on the scene herself. She put on a human skin mask, revealing a mediocre face that could not be found in a crowd. She mingled among the people and quietly approached a prisoner who was the last one left.
The officer suddenly lost his sight, opened the prison van as if sleepwalking, and uncuffed and shackled the prisoner.
The prisoner who regained his freedom was stunned for a moment, then ran away!
Su Ziyan wanted to release a few more, but the officers had already noticed the commotion here and surrounded them, shouting at the people to hide behind. She could only retreat with the crowd.
Yuwen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze vaguely fell on Su Ziyan.
Su Ziyan was startled, thinking she was discovered, and she ran away subconsciously.
Yuwen Yi sneered. With such character and ability, not even comparable to a finger of Huan'er, he actually had the courage to rebel. I wonder where his confidence came from.
If he didn't leave the capital, Su Ziyan would probably not dare to take any action.
The situation quickly stabilized. Yuwen Yi counted a group of people and arranged: "The others continue to escort the death row prisoners to the execution ground and execute them on time. I will personally lead people to chase the escaped death row prisoners."
Su Ziyan ran back to the private room in one breath, still in shock, holding her chest and gasping for breath.
She saw Yuwen Yi taking people to chase the death row prisoner and not coming to chase her. She felt relieved because she was wearing a human skin mask and Yuwen Yi definitely did not recognize her. She was just scaring herself.
She also had to secretly help the death row prisoner and let him leave the city smoothly, so that she could lure Yuwen Yi out of the capital and kill him in one fell swoop!
Su Ziyan couldn't help but smile, "Yuwen Yi is really too arrogant. He dared to leave the city with such a small number of people. The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain has been successful. The next step is to attack Huanglong directly!"
At the same time, the emperor decided to go to Qingchuan Garden to visit the Empress Dowager.
The eunuchs around him always mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that the Empress Dowager missed the Emperor very much, but she just couldn't bring herself to return to the palace.
After all, there is no such thing as a mother in this world who would apologize to her son. The Queen Mother was just trying to save face, but in fact she had already regretted it in her heart.
The empress also advised the emperor twice and gave him enough way out. The emperor then ordered a visit to Qingchuan Garden to visit the empress dowager in order to ease the relationship with her. If his mother could support him more, Yuwen Yi would not be a concern.
The emperor's trip is a grand one, and preparations have been underway since yesterday.
Early this morning, Commander Luo of the Imperial Guards suddenly had a stomach upset and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. He was bedridden and had to rely on two deputy commanders to escort the emperor on his travels.
The emperor was already thinking of backing out. Commander Luo was a martial arts expert and loyal to him, but the two deputy commanders were a little inferior, so he was still a little worried.
At this time, the leader of the patrol camp, Teng Shichang, asked for a meeting.
The emperor was very impressed with Teng Shichang and summoned him in immediately.
Teng Shichang knelt down with a plop and shouted, "Long live His Majesty! I haven't seen Your Majesty for a few days. Your Majesty is getting stronger and stronger. The villains will be intimidated by Your Majesty's might and dare not act recklessly!"
"Your Majesty is leaving the palace. All the patrol camps are on standby. There are sentries set up along the way. I guarantee with my life that Your Majesty will arrive at Qingchuan Garden safely. If Your Majesty makes any mistake, I will bring my head to you!"
"I heard that Commander Luo was ill, so I came here immediately. If Your Majesty doesn't mind my noise, I am willing to guard Your Majesty at any time and anywhere!"
The emperor was delighted. "Lord Teng, you have come just in time. I need an important official like you by my side!"
