The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 431 Being Threatened
Liu He led his men to get off the carriage at the palace gate. From a distance, he saw two gray-haired old men kneeling at the palace gate and pleading with the palace gate guards, "Please inform the emperor that we are guilty and we apologize to the emperor. Please see us."
Liu He saw the other person's face clearly, turned around suddenly, stared at the three people from the Tang family, his eyes wide open, pointed at the two people in the distance and asked them, "What's going on?"
Tang Shiyan and his son realized it belatedly. They were afraid that before the old man left home, he had someone inform the two of them and explained the interests involved. That was why the two of them broke into the palace at night and wanted to see the emperor to confess.
The old man still couldn't let go of his family ties and fought for his two brothers' chance to survive.
"Dad, you are confused."
"I know my crime, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Liu He was so angry that he wanted to turn around and leave, but he knew that Tang Shiyan was kept in the dark. It didn't matter if he left, but this family would be finished.
He angrily left the three people behind and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
No matter how much the two old men pleaded, the letters existed and they could not escape the crime of participating in treason.
When the two old men saw them coming, they felt like they had seen their savior. They knelt down in front of Liu He and begged, "Your Majesty, please save us. I know I was wrong. Before Wu Jun died, I had already cut off contact with him. I am still loyal to the Wu Dynasty. Please help me say something good for the emperor."
One cried and begged, "Your Highness, Wu Jun did write to me asking me to help him, but I never agreed. I have never met him and never wrote him a reply. Please find out the truth and give me justice."
Liu He took a step back and said in a cold voice: "If that's the case, why didn't you report to the emperor after receiving Wu Jun's letter? It's too late to say some high-sounding words now."
He walked around them, walked to the palace gate, took out the golden seal and showed it to the gatekeeper, and the palace gate opened.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren stopped in front of the two men, sighed, and followed Liu He.
"Third brother, please help us speak well in front of the emperor and plead for us. Otherwise, I will definitely drag you into this situation, and your family will not be able to escape."
The second old man pulled the eldest brother who had a fierce look on his face, thinking that his words were too harsh.
The old marquis threatened viciously, and the old man turned around suddenly and looked at his brother in disbelief.
Suddenly he laughed and cursed himself for being so stupid. He had known what kind of person he was and wanted to help him at the critical moment. However, he ended up helping a wolf which turned around and tried to bite his neck.
"Sure. You can say whatever you want. I, Tang Xingshun, stand between heaven and earth. I am worthy of the imperial court and the entire Tang family. Think about what you have done over the years and reflect on yourself."
After saying that, he followed Liu He's footsteps with big strides.
After the eldest brother uttered that threat, he had no more relationship with them. Each of their descendants had to find their own way out. He, the descendant of Tang Xingshun, would guard it by himself.
The second old man complained about his eldest brother, but his body was shaking. He knew that since the moment the third brother entered the palace, there was no way out for the two families.
The old marquis got up from the ground and said, "Whether you leave or not, there is no need to kneel anymore. You should go back quickly to pack up your belongings and run away before the emperor gets angry and arrests you."
"Run away?" The second old man was so angry that he laughed. This eldest brother was really out of his mind. What kind of place was this? The capital, the emperor's territory, where could they run to?
Running away now will only lead to faster death.
"You're not leaving? Humph, then don't blame me for not caring about our brotherly love."
The old marquis stood up and walked away without looking back. His old butler was waiting for him in front of the carriage in the distance, and he got in the carriage and drove away.
At the palace gate, only the second old man was left kneeling on the cold bluestone floor. He was thin and old, and he curled up into a ball, shivering in the cold wind.
He regretted it. When he received the letter from the King of Lingnan, he didn't take it seriously at all and just threw it to Cui Shan to burn. He didn't expect that he was tricked by him and actually kept the letter. He hid it for so many years and now it was found. He should have taken the letter to ask his third brother for advice, and he wouldn't have ended up like this.
He knew he was going to die, but he still had so many children and grandchildren. He had lived a foolish life, and he had to earn a future for his children before he died. Thinking of his old wife who had been so angry with him that she tried so hard to persuade him, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
He knelt for more than an hour, his body became cold and stiff, and he felt as if his body was not his own. When he was about to fall down and became dazed, the palace gate opened again.
The leader of the Imperial Guards, Bai Shoushan, was fully armed. Behind him, two rows of well-trained Imperial Guards, armed with weapons, quickly left the palace and divided into countless small teams, dispersing into the city.
"Second old master of the Tang family, I was worried that I couldn't find you. Come, take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The rest of you should quickly arrest the rebels according to the names and addresses on the list."
He was dragged away without any resistance. He believed that the white-headed leader would report to the emperor that he knelt at the palace gate to apologize, and he also believed that his third brother and Prince Yi would give him justice.
He is innocent and he has never colluded with the King of Lingnan.
When the three generations of the Tang family came out of the palace, it was already dawn. After Tang Xingshun walked out of the palace gate, he looked up at the sky.
He exhaled, and with a sad face, he asked the sky, "Father, you have finally paid the price for your partiality. If you know about this in the underworld, will you regret it?"
The old man was in tears. A night of fear made him look much older.
Tang Boan stepped forward to support his grandfather's shaky body and advised him gently: "The storm is over, go home."
"it is good."
The three of them walked towards the carriage and discovered that there was one more carriage in their house.
Liu Ying's voice came from behind, "Father, husband."
Tang Shiyan smiled with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, ma'am."
Liu Ying smiled and shook her head. A storm that shouldn't have existed was finally over.
At the gate of the Tang Mansion, Tang Si, who was guarding the alley entrance, shouted and ran home, "We are back. The master, mistress, and son are all back safely."
Tang Zhongbai jumped up and ran towards the gate, losing one of his shoes. Jiang Muxia followed behind him and picked up his shoe with a wry smile. She knew everything would be fine.
Several people got off the car. Except for their pale complexion due to not sleeping all night, their whole bodies were no different from when they left the house.
"It's okay. The palace is closed today. Take a day off."
"Thank you, ma'am." The servants thanked her one after another.
Tang Xingshun was worried about his old wife and went straight back to Fushoutang.
The crisis was resolved, and the servants were relieved and dispersed.
"Mom." Tang Jize hugged Liu Ying, tears falling down his face, "You scared me to death."
Liu Ying pinched his little face lovingly, "It's okay, everything is okay."
Tang Boan said goodbye to everyone with a heavy heart and returned to his own yard.
Jiang Muxia pushed Tang Zhongbai and whispered, "Go check on my brother. He doesn't seem happy. My sister-in-law hasn't come back yet. You should stay with him."
Even though they came back from the palace and said they were safe, the emperor would not let them go so easily and unharmed.
