Ruthless debt

The man's face was full of astonishment, fearing that the man in front of him would use him to question him, and he had spoken boldly just now, but now he was so frightened that he silenced himself.He also saw another person coming from behind him, pulled the person in front of him away, and said softly: "Brother, don't blame me, my brother has always respected Zuo Gong, now I hear you say that, so naturally I have to ask, If you don't mind, brother, can you elaborate on what you just said?"

Hearing this, the man's expression softened a little, but he remained silent, he just lowered his head to straighten his messed-up skirt.On the other hand, the other person said calmly: "It is well known that Zuo Gong's whole family has been wronged. Brother, who didn't know about this, must have come from a long way. We also heard a little about this matter. We only know that Zuo Gong was convicted of treason." All the family members in the mansion have been imprisoned, and Zuo Gong and his two sons have been hanged on the Luohe tower, and it has been three days now."

"You're talking nonsense..." Zuo Qi violently kicked down the chair beside him, and then grabbed the man's shoulders, like a raging beast.

Prince Che eagerly stepped forward to comfort him, but he pushed him away with his palm, and he said with red eyes: "Will he rebel, even if everyone in the world believes it, how can His Majesty believe it?"

He didn't know how to answer, Zuo Qi probably hated not only his father, but also himself.He had never seen him like this before, his eyes looked like he wanted to cut himself into pieces.

Another person said: "How can you blame the king for this matter? When Zuo Gong questioned the crime, the king was already sick on the bed, and all affairs in the court were decided by the nine princes. Although I don't know the reason, I can be sure that if the king knows This matter will definitely not allow the Ninth Prince to act like this, no one knows that the ruler of the country relies on Zuo Gong the most, so whoever cuts off his right hand and right arm is not involuntary."

Prince Che asked, "How long has the lord been ill?"

The man replied: "I don't know about that. How can we ordinary people listen carefully to the things in the deep palace."

As I was talking here, I saw the guy who had just ordered to buy horses running forward, laughing and laughing with the prince Che: "Young master, I have bought two good horses for you, and they are tied to the door now." Before, if the young master is staying overnight in the small shop today, I will lead the horse to the stable."

Hearing this, Zuo Qi turned around and left, heading straight for the door.

Prince Che followed in a hurry, and when he saw that he hadn't said a word, he got on his horse, then whipped his hand and rode away again.And he could only follow behind without stopping, patting the horse's back desperately, lest he could not keep up with the person in front.

Galloping fast, crossing the state and passing through the government, he arrived outside Luohe City within two days. Zuo Qi hadn't said a word in the past two days. The prince Che knew that he was deeply saddened, and he was afraid that seeing Zuo Jiyun would make him even more angry tidy.As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw many people whispering and pointing at the high place.The two looked up, and as expected, Zuo Jiyun and his two sons were hanging on the wall of the building.

The three people on the city wall were dressed in white prison uniforms, surrounded by flies and insects, their faces were ashen and dead.Prince Che stared at it blankly for a long time, before he realized that his whole body was trembling and tears were streaming down his face.And the emperor's slander in yellow background and red characters on the side is so ironic and cruel. A generation of virtuous officials died tragically, and no one dared to collect his body. Everyone said that Mr. Zuo was wronged, but who would stand up to refute him?

How did the gentle and generous uncle Zuo Gong, whom the world admired, end up in such a state?

Zuo Qizhi bit the corner of his mouth to bleed, but he didn't whimper, Prince Che pulled him aside when he saw that there was no one around, and said: "Cry if you want to cry, don't bear it any longer .” As he spoke, he broke down in tears.

But he sneered and said: "What's the use of crying? If crying can bring my father back, if crying can clear up the grievances of my Zuo family, I might as well cry. Now, I only wish to be able to kill my enemy." , and no matter who the enemy is, I will cut him into pieces and let him die a bad death."

Zuo Qi almost gritted his teeth when he said the words 'not a good death', the listener couldn't understand what he meant, and said that this matter was not done by his father, if it was really done by his father, I am afraid Zuo Qi will not let it go .

The prince Che said: "Don't say it's you, even I won't let it go easily, you just follow me into the palace, I will definitely ask Uncle Nine Emperors clearly." After finishing speaking, he wanted to turn around.

Zuo Qi grabbed him and said, "How much better do you think you are than me? Don't talk about going to see the Ninth Prince. It's not known whether you can enter the palace or not. At that time, he will accuse you of pretending to be a prince. Who will you be?" People dare to say that you are Prince Che."

What he said is not unreasonable. Now that he has returned to his country for the first time, he still does not know about the affairs of the court. If he is rash, he will enter the palace. So he can only let Qianyu fiddle with it.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Zuo Qidao: "Right now, the wind is raging and the trees are full of soldiers. There are many enemies in the middle and the bottom, who can we go to? Now the only person I can trust is Mu Yan. Although he already knows my identity, but with her temperament, I can predict him. We will definitely not betray you and me, we will settle there for the time being, and it will not be too late to make plans after we have figured out the situation."

Prince Che nodded and said, "I'll just listen to you."

When Zuo Qi redeemed Mu Yan, he didn't mention it to his family. He could have settled the matter quietly, but he blamed the troublesome elder brother who often hangs around in the flower garden. He sent someone to inquire and told Zuo Jiyun about it.

Zuo Jiyun didn't blame Zuo Qi, but said that it was inconvenient for brothel girls to be brought into the mansion, as long as he liked to arrange them at will.

After Zuo Qi left, the sisters-in-law of the family often went to Mu Yan's residence when they had nothing to do, and they felt that she was not like other brothel girls.This makes her a brother-in-law.Fortunately, Mu Yan was able to be looked after by them, and she has lived a good life all these years, her residence was originally set up by Zuo Qi, so it is not difficult for Zuo Qi to find her now.

When they arrived at Mu Yan's residence, they saw a young servant standing at the door. Seeing the two men coming to their house, he raised his voice and asked, "Who are the two young masters, and what are you doing here?"

Zuo Qi said: "I'm looking for Miss Mu, just tell me I'm the third son and she will know who I am."

The young fellow sized them up for a while, seeing that they were both very imposing, he was afraid they might be noble people, so he ran into the house to report without daring to neglect them.

It didn't take a moment to see that young man running out, and before they could ask any questions, he saw another person following behind him, about twenty years old, handsome in appearance, not as petite and weak as the girls in Qu Country, not Mu Yan and who will it be.

After distinguishing who it was, she immediately blushed and said nothing, but invited him into the room.

When the door was closed, Mu Yan heard a 'plop' on the ground, and she said with half tears in her eyes: "Young master rescued me from the place of love and moon back then, and the whole family treated me well. Now the benefactor is full of injustices. But I can only live in peace, Mu Yan feels ashamed..." After saying that, she broke down in tears.

Zuo Qi saw that her heart was twisted like a knife, so he helped him up: "What can I do if I miss you, a weak woman, others know that my father is loyal, but it's just a few empty words, you can mourn for him, it has already made me cry." I am impressed."

Mu Yan stopped crying and said: "Young Master, you don't know something. On the day Zuo Gong was executed, the people of Luohe City came to obstruct it. Thousands of people knelt down and got up and surrounded the road. The strength is weak, not only failed to rescue Zuo Gong, but many people died, Mu Yan is not as good as them."

At this time, the enthusiasm in Prince Che's eyes welled up again.

She continued: "That day I took advantage of the chaos and ran to Zuo Gong. I wanted to say something sincere to him, but before he could open his mouth, he hurriedly gave me something..."

Zuo Qi hurriedly asked: "What is it?"

"It's a piece of rag, with a few words written in blood, Mr. Zuo told me to destroy it immediately after reading it."

"What is written?"

Mu Yan said: "Only believe in Ye Xiang."
