Chapter 1024: Arraignment

The cell boss didn't know that You Shaofeng had hated him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't mind. Maybe before yesterday's unitary hour, he would have some scruples about this person.

But after the unitary time, he didn't take this person seriously. A dying man, what else can he do with it?

The prince glanced at You Shaofeng and didn't pay attention to it, but walked straight inside.

Gu Chengyu and the crown prince passed by the cell where Xia Qing was being held, and although Xia Qing's expression still looked calm and calm at this moment, he didn't seem to be worried about being in prison.

It's just that his hands that clenched the hem of his clothes and his slightly trembling beard all showed that his heart was far less calm than it seemed.

Seeing the prince pass in front of his cell, Xia Qing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The crown prince was about to pass by here, but only when he heard Xia Qing salute so respectfully, he turned his head.

glanced at Xia Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, and found that the other party's hair was already half gray. This plain white shirt has some wrinkles on it, slightly embarrassed, but still calm and calm.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, after all, he was once a first-class official, and this bearing was not comparable to ordinary officials. Take Na You Shaofeng just now, the performance between the two can be described as worlds apart.

He couldn't help but think that although Xia Qing liked the yellow and white things, he still had a lot of contributions to the imperial court.

When Xia Qing was first promoted to the first assistant, he also did a few practical things. For example, the increase in taxes on merchants, the restriction on the strict supervision of iron mines, and so on.

It was only later that Xia Qing gradually became more powerful, and he was conceited and saintly, so he gradually lost his heart. No longer put the interests of the imperial court first, but focus on forming parties for personal gain.

The prince looked at the other party and sighed, but after all, he didn't say anything, and turned around and went to the cells inside.

Gu Chengyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, the prince's attitude towards Xia Qing was too vague, which couldn't help but make people feel that Xia Qing still had hope of rising.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Xia Qing didn't know the true face of the Tianji Daoist, he recommended it to the emperor after all, and the emperor died because of the Tianji Daoist's elixir after all.

Xia Qing, as a recommender, where can he get out of it? If it were another official, I am afraid that it would have been raided and exterminated a long time ago.

Even if Gu Nian Lao Chen had contributed a lot to the court before, he would take off the other party's black gauze hat and demote him to a commoner. In addition, three generations of his children and grandchildren are not allowed to enter the office, which is already a great gift.

It's just that the prince's disposal of Xia Qing has been delayed again and again, does the prince still want Xia Qing to return to the court? How can this convince the public?

It is too unfair to make such a big mistake and be easily let go.

Xia Qing saw the prince walk away, and then he got up slowly. Seeing that Gu Chengyu was still looking at him in contemplation, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and then sat down on the straw mat and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at the vigorous bonfire in the prison, these jailers also loved to enjoy it on weekdays. Otherwise, in such a cold weather, the bedding in the cage was thin and dirty, and Xia Qing was only dressed in single clothes, and he would have frozen to death a long time ago.

Ignoring Xia Qing, Gu Chengyu also walked to the inner cell.

Xia Qing opened his eyes and looked at Gu Chengyu's back, his eyebrows furrowed. There are a lot of people who have been arrested today, could it be those assassins?

He was now very sure that these thieves had put themselves together, and at that time he clearly said that he would wait, but who knew that these people would be treacherous.

Not only did he not act according to the agreed plan, but after he was imprisoned, these people did not find a way to rescue him, which clearly showed that they did not want to care about him.

He carefully recalled these people captured today, and found that there were no figures of the figure master and the cloaked man among them, which showed that these people captured were just dead soldiers who acted on orders.

This made his heart settle down a little, what can the dead man know, as long as he doesn't catch the mappers, he is still safe for the time being.

When Gu Chengyu just stepped into the inner cell, the cell leader was guiding the way for the prince.

"Your Highness! The people you're looking for are locked up in these cells. Commander Zhou is in the west, do you think you are arraigning which one first? ”

The cell boss smiled flatteringly, and his face was full of flattery. This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he will be able to ascend the throne as the emperor in a few days, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.

Maybe he will serve him well, and the prince will be able to look at him differently! As long as you show your face in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, satisfy the prince, and then give an official and a half-job, get rid of the lowly position of soap official, and wait for the soaring Huang Tengda!

The prince's gaze first swept to a beggar in tattered clothes and unkempt hair. He couldn't help frowning, this person was really Zhou Yuancong?

In his impression, Zhou Yuancong was sonorous, standing like a pine, sitting like a clock, and quite a general. The stinky and decadent old beggar in front of him, how could it be Zhou Yuancong?

He couldn't help but cast his puzzled gaze on Gu Chengyu, and Gu Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to solve the prince's doubts.

"Your Highness! At that time, when the lower officials caught Zhou Yuancong, he was pretending to be a beggar and wanted to assassinate Weichen, can His Royal Highness interrogate this person now? ”

As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, Zhou Yuancong raised his head, and a pair of yin owl eyes threw himself towards Gu Chengyu.

Zhou Yuan felt remorse in his heart from this moment, if he listened to his master's words, he would not have fallen into this field.

I wanted to rob the prince to order the princes, but unfortunately because of Gu Chengyu's obstruction, it didn't succeed in the end.

Then the master repeatedly ordered him to hide for a while, but he felt that Gu Chengyu's life was a little in the way, so he had the idea of eradicating this person.

He knew that his master's many plans had been destroyed by Gu Chengyu, otherwise they would have been successful a long time ago. With such an obstacle in the way, it is not easy for them to succeed.

So he took matters into his own hands and wanted to assassinate Gu Chengyu. Who knew that Gu Chengyu's martial arts were not weak, and he was very vigilant, this assassination was not successful, and he also put himself in.

"Zhou Yuancong, this palace asks you, why did you betray the imperial court?"

The crown prince affirmed his identity the moment this person looked up, and when his father was still alive before, they had to meet every day in the court, so he was very familiar with Zhou Yuancong's eyes.

Zhou Yuancong closed his eyes, and it was useless to say more at this time. Once in this prison, he could never get out.

I wanted to kill myself, but the walls of this cell were covered with straw and cotton, and he couldn't die even if he hit the wall.

There were many people who committed suicide by hitting the wall in this prison, so Dali Temple also learned a lesson. These cells were arranged in such a way that they were to hold these important prisoners.

But no matter how the other party asked, he wouldn't let go. I hope that the master will give his heir a way to live while he is tight-lipped.

The prince furrowed his brows, this Zhou Yuan has become a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, and it seems that he is unwilling to speak.

But this matter must be interrogated as soon as possible, and he cannot tolerate that there are still people in the shadows who covet his throne. How can you allow others to snore next to the couch?

If he doesn't find out the person behind this scene as soon as possible, he won't be able to sleep well.
