(This chapter is for book friends 18672397 and more.) )
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, this is the small year of the Great Zhou. In the afternoon, Lin felt good news. Concubine Rong sent someone to send news from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother had already had a long talk with the emperor, and according to the Queen Mother's feedback, the emperor promised to punish Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru lightly. Perhaps they will be pardoned for their inappropriate remarks. The emperor originally disagreed, but the queen mother was about to pack up her things and go back to her hometown in Shandong, so the emperor had no choice but to agree. It is said that the emperor will issue a New Year's amnesty edict on the morning of the last day of tomorrow, including Yan Fang's two lords.
Lin Jue was overjoyed when he heard this, Guo Chong used a New Year's amnesty to pardon the sins of the two adults Yan Fang, which was really an extremely clever move. Maybe he didn't want to do it in his heart, but the pressure from the Queen Mother still had an effect, Guo Chong was afraid of being unfilial on his back, and he still had some compassion for Yan Fang and the two in his heart, so he contributed to this matter. This result is the most gratifying news in recent days.
Mrs. Fang and Huanqiu's mother and daughter cried with joy when they heard the news, and Mrs. Fang hurriedly dragged Huanqiu to the street to buy new clothes and hats, preparing to welcome her husband's release from prison. Being able to rescue her husband before the New Year is simply good news falling from the sky.
In the middle of the night, when everyone in the Lin family was sleeping soundly, suddenly, a rapid shout disturbed the sweet dreams of everyone in the Lin family. Someone went straight into the back house and shouted Lin Jue's name loudly.
The back house of the Lin family suddenly rioted, and Lin Zhan was awakened in his sleep and cried loudly. Lin Jue sat up, and the little county lord beside him asked in shock while coaxing Lin Zhan, "Who is making a noise?" Something went wrong? ”
Lin Jue's first reaction was that someone came to the house to make trouble, with bad intentions. But it soon dawned on him that it wasn't. Because although it was chaotic, there was no screaming and warning.
"What's going on?" Lin Jue asked in a deep voice.
"County Lord, Uncle, it's the little prince who is here. The people in front didn't stop him, and the little prince came to the back house, and now he is in the flower hall. I want my uncle to go see him immediately. The maidservant's report came.
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, frowned and said to the little county lord: "What is your brother doing here?" In the middle of the night, I'm afraid there will be three watches. ”
The little county lord nodded and said, "I'm afraid something happened, don't be my father and mother." Don't say it, hurry up and take a look. ”
The little county lord's voice trembled a little because he was nervous. Lin Jue comforted her a few words, hurriedly dressed and got up, didn't bother combing her hair bun, and went out to the flower hall with her hair loose.
In the flower hall, the little prince Guo Kun was pacing in the flower hall like an anxious lion, what made him go straight to the inner house in the middle of the night regardless of etiquette? Although Guo Kun is rude, he is not a person who does not understand etiquette. When Lin Jue saw his figure, he was very puzzled.
"Brother-in-law, you are up. Come with me. When Guo Kun saw Lin Jue, he immediately stepped forward and said loudly.
Lin Jue saw the salute and said, "Brother, what's wrong?" What happened? The prince and mother-in-law are all right. ”
Guo Kun was stunned and said, "Okay." My father and mother are getting along. ”
Lin Jue said: "Then why did you come in a panic, Cai Wei thought that something had happened to the palace, and she trembled nervously." ”
Guo Kun smacked his lips and said, "It's not that something happened in my house, but something happened in the court." You don't know yet, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are dead in prison! ”
Lin Jue was stunned, his head was buzzing, and he hurriedly said, "Don't be joking, how is it possible?" I only met them yesterday. It's all good. ”
Guo Kun sighed: "What am I kidding with you? I just got the news too. Tonight, I was on duty to lead a team to patrol the city, passing by the Donghua Gate, and saw a mess in the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Tower. I have a familiar officer on duty in the front of the palace, and they are now in charge of blocking the Imperial Observatory, and I found out about this when I asked. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru hanged themselves in prison. ”
Thundered! Guo Kun's words exploded in Lin Jue's mind like a thunderbolt, and Lin Jue's whole person felt weak, dizzy, and his body was shaky.
Guo Kun hurriedly held on to it and said loudly, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Brother-in-law, don't scare me, it's okay for you. ”
Lin Jue sat down slowly on the table, waved his hand and said in a dumb voice: "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
Guo Kun said in a deep voice: "I know that you have been busy saving them recently, so I rushed here to tell you as soon as possible." I've had the site cordoned off, and I don't have to do it, but I think you'd want to check it out. So you come with me, and after a while the news spreads, and the scene is destroyed, and I don't know what the hell is going on. ”
Lin Jue understood what Guo Kun meant, Guo Kun was worried that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were killed, so he asked Lin Jue to follow him to take a look at the scene. Once the news spreads and the scene is destroyed, nothing can be seen.
Lin Jue took a few breaths with difficulty, held back the congested breath in his chest and abdomen, got up and said, "Please wait for a while, I'll pick up my wife and sister." I'm going to take them with me. ”
Guo Kun thought for a while and said, "Okay, you have to hurry." ”
Lin Jue took a breath and walked out of the hall quickly, the little county lord was dressed properly, and when he saw Lin Jue's pale face, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Jue said: "Go and ask your brother, I have to change my clothes and go out." ”
The little county lord was about to speak, and Lin Jue had already gone like a gust of wind. The little county lord realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to the hall, where the brother and sister met and soon learned the earth-shattering news. The little county lord was also stupid at that time, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Lin Jue quickly returned to the house, and while ordering someone to go to the front to tell Sun Dayong that they had assembled the team, he asked the maid to tie his hair in a bun for him, and after changing his clothes, he hurriedly went to the courtyard of Fang Huanqiu and Fang's wife in the rear. When he got there, Lin Jue didn't dare to say it clearly, only said that he would go to see Mr. and let his wife and Huanqiu dress up. Fang Huanqiu obviously realized that something was wrong, and kept asking, but Lin Jue only didn't answer, and urged repeatedly.
Soon after, Sun Dayong gathered more than 20 guards and horses, and together with more than 100 cavalry soldiers and horses led by Xiao Wangye, escorted the Fang family's mother and daughter to gallop in the direction of Yushitai. After arriving at the Imperial Historical Observatory, he saw that hundreds of soldiers and horses blocked the front door of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Guo Kun stepped forward, and an officer who guarded the Yushitai in front of the palace stepped forward to greet him, Guo Kun said a few words in a low voice, and the officer immediately ordered Lin Jue and others to go in.
Several officials on duty wanted to be stopped, but Lin Jue scolded sharply, those officials were low-level officials, but they were on duty tonight, and they were not important members, and they didn't care about anything. Before the group rushed into the Yushitai Prison, the jailers did not dare to stop them, opened the door of the cell, and let Lin Jue and the others enter.
Before stepping into this dark and gloomy cell, Lin Jue stopped and whispered to Fang Huanqiu and Fang's mother, who were full of confusion: "Master, sister, you wait here, I'll go see Mr." In a moment, you will come back again. ”
Mrs. Fang said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, is something wrong with your husband?" You tell the old body, it doesn't matter if the old body is old. You mysterious, old men are uneasy in your hearts and minds. ”
Lin Jue frowned and didn't answer, Fang Huanqiu said, "Senior brother, you speak, is something wrong?" Daddy, what's wrong with him? ”
The little prince sighed beside him: "Tell them, sooner or later." ”
Lin Jue gritted his teeth and nodded: "Senior mother, senior sister, I got the news, Mr. and Mr. Yan...... They...... I'm afraid something has changed. They said the two adults committed suicide while in prison...... I can't believe it's true, and I hope it's not. But...... I'm afraid that's true. …… You're going to see it, and you're afraid you can't stand it. Wait for the students to go and see what is going on, and then invite you to come later. ”
Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu were shocked as if they had been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky, and they were immediately stunned on the spot. The doubts and worries in my heart along the way already had an ominous premonition, and when I heard Lin Jue say this at this moment, the mother and daughter were suddenly stunned on the spot like clay sculptures.
"How is that possible? How is this possible? I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Fang Huanqiu shouted loudly.
Mrs. Fang shook beside her, and suddenly her legs became weak and she fell to the ground. Lin Jue's hands were quick, and he reached out to support Mrs. Fang.
"Master, Master." Lin Jue shouted.
Mrs. Fang's eyes were closed, unconscious. Lin Jue shouted at Huanqiu: "Senior sister, you need to be strong at this time, otherwise what should your mother do?" ”
Fang Huanqiu wiped the rolling tears, while supporting her mother to call, wiping her chest for her, and after a while, Mrs. Fang woke up leisurely. The moment I opened my eyes, tears were already pouring out.
