Reverse Junhou

The sun is rising in the east, and the morning glow is shining on the Daiwa stone steps. At the end of the long road, a person is galloping towards the morning light.

Zhao Fengci clenched the rein tightly, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.He didn't know how long it would take for the men and horses from the Ministry of Punishment to arrive at Wenfu, so he could only hurry back.

As soon as he got off his horse at the gate of the palace, he saw Ah Shen holding Zhao Fenghui and running out of the courtyard in a hurry.

"Where is Wen Xuechao?" Zhao Feng asked Ah Shen.

"Your Highness, a few Habayashi guards came to the mansion just now, saying that they came to look for Mr. Wen on the order of Captain Bai. The young master went into the house to pack up his things and left shortly after sending those adults away." Ashen said, "Young master Let me keep quiet, and don't tell His Highness for the time being. I feel that something is wrong, and I was about to leave the mansion to look for His Highness when His Highness came back."

Zhao Fenghui pointed to the corner of his eyes, and gestured earnestly to his brother: "The bad guy came just now, and made the fairy cry."

Zhao Fengci pushed open the gate of the inner courtyard, only to see that the bedroom door was wide open, and there was no one in the room.He strode to the front of the collapse, stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that there was still warmth on the quilt: "Is it someone sent by Baiwan?"

"Yes, the adults of Habayashi Wei are very anxious, as if they have something urgent to find the young master."

Bai Wan took the risk of deceiving the emperor and sent someone to leak the news to Wen Xuechao.

Since Wen Xuechao knew that the Ministry of Punishment was going to arrest him for collaborating with the enemy, he did not stay in the palace to avoid the limelight, but tidied up at will and left the palace.Where did this person go if he didn't stay by his side?

"Did he say where he was going?"

"Master Wen said that he wants to go back to the Wen Mansion." Ashen said cautiously.

Zhao Fengci put down the quilt in his hand, and his breath was a little disordered.Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, but still walking towards the mountain, what is it if it is not an act of self-destruction?

Zhao Fenghui stretched out his hand to be hugged by his brother, Zhao Fengci casually grabbed Zhao Fenghui and took Zhao Fenghui from Ah Shen's arms.As if suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Fengci scratched Zhao Fenghui's nose, turned around and asked Ah Shen: "When the three of you went out to buy paper kites the day before yesterday, did Wen Xuechao mention anything related to paper kites to you?"

"Paper kite?" Ah Shen rubbed the back of his head, "Young master doesn't seem to have mentioned anything specifically."

Zhao Fengci's eyes became colder.There seems to be traces to follow in this matter, but the clues are so few and far between that people have no clue.He always felt that Wen Xuechao was hiding something from him, and only by listening to him speak in person could he know the ins and outs of this matter.

The Prince's faction is now at odds with him, Wen Mansion is no longer able to enter and exit at will, if he insists on breaking in, it will be self-defeating.

Zhao Fengci restrained his mind and suppressed the impulse in his heart.Emperor Jingyang's attitude is so firm, if Wen Xuechao is captured by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he will definitely be taken to Dali Temple for interrogation.Now the only way to reverse Wen Xuechao's case is to produce irrefutable evidence to prove his innocence.

He wants to go to Xinglong Mansion himself.

"A-Shen, order twenty guards, and come out of the city with me." Zhao Fengci said to A-Shen.

Hearing His Highness's order, Ah Shen hurried down to make arrangements.Zhao Fengci patted Zhao Fenghui's head, and was about to put the child on the ground, but Zhao Fenghui rubbed his furry head on his shoulder: "Fifth brother, it was very sad when the fairy left."

Zhao Fengci was startled, remembering that Zhao Fenghui said earlier that there were bad guys in the mansion, and Wen Xuechao was made to cry.

He asked softly: "Feng Hui, tell fifth brother, you heard what happened to brother just now?"

Zhao Fenghui sniffled: "When the fairy left, her eyes were red, like a little rabbit."

"The fairy said that I have grown up, let Feng Hui take good care of my brother and listen to my brother."

Zhao Fengci stroked Zhao Fenghui's head, let him lean on his shoulder, and remained silent for a while.

"Wen Xuechao, I will stand in front of you from now on."

The old oath was still in his ears, but he finally broke it.

*****

Wen Xuechao knelt in the hall, looking at the gilded plaque under the eaves of the Wen Mansion. On the plaque, the four characters "Jing Guan Bai Sun" were written by the late emperor himself.

The Wen family followed the ancestors of the Zhao family to establish Dafu, and they have won the Central Plains for hundreds of years.Before Wen Shizhen was appointed as the prefect, the Wen family had produced six ministers of state and dozens of first-rank officials. They were well-deserved prominent families in Guangyang.

Concentrating on the daylight and being extremely loyal are the highest praise the emperor gave to the Wen family.

The main courtyard of the Wen Mansion was crowded with people, and the capital officer of the Ministry of Punishment led several prison officials from Dali Temple and stood in a corner without saying a word.Bai Wan also came late with Habayashi Wei, saying that he was here to assist the adults of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in handling the case.

Wen Shizhen sat at the head of the south hall and drank tea for a long time, but did not speak for a long time.

The official of the capital was a little apprehensive.Today, they came to Wenfu to arrest criminals under the order of the sage.But now that Prime Minister Wen was sitting in the hall, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to detain Wen Xuechao without authorization, and sent him directly to Dali Temple.

He couldn't help but glanced at Wen Xue who was kneeling in the center of the main hall.Wen Youcheng is not wearing an official uniform today, but a long gown that is as white as snow.According to Dafu's law, only those who are guilty wear white clothes. I heard that You Cheng didn't want to avenge, and was ready to confess directly?

After half a stick of incense, the official of the capital gave a low cough, and finally stepped forward with cupped hands: "My lord, under the order of the sage, I come to Wen's mansion to arrest the criminals. Please do me a favor."

Wen Shizhen put down the teacup in his hand: "Of course, I dare not disobey the order of the Holy Majesty. But please wait a moment, my lords, and let the old man handle the housework first."

The official of the capital was sweating on his forehead, said "yes" several times in his mouth, and took a few steps back.

"Wen Yu, if you have been wronged, you can justify it to the adults now, why don't you say a word?" Wen Shizhen stared at her eldest son.

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it." Wen Xuechao met Wen Shizhen's gaze, "The emperor now has solid evidence, and if he wants to convict the child, what else can the child say?"

Bai Wan sent Habayashi Wei's confidant to the palace to talk to him about the whole incident.He also said that His Royal Highness was summoned into the palace by the emperor in the early morning for this matter.

After Habayashi Wei finished speaking, only the word absurd remained in Wen Xuechao's mind.

Emperor Jingyang's temperament has changed drastically in recent days. He not only neglected the queen, but also tried every means to suppress the prince. He also heard about it.No one expected that this puppet monarch who had been cowardly all his life would suddenly wake up at the end of his life, and would fight to the death with Wen Shi after exhausting his remaining life.

As the son of the Wen family, Zhongshu Youcheng, who was at the height of his power in the imperial court, he naturally became the first person to be operated on by Emperor Jingyang.

Thinking of what was said in the letter, Wen Xuechao's heart gradually became turbulent, and he wanted to laugh faintly.No one can do it, but Zhao Fengci is the one to do it.I don't know what kind of expression the Fifth Highness will have when they see this letter of "communication with the enemy" written by myself.

People in the courtyard saw Wen Xuechao lowered his eyes and laughed softly, thinking that Wen Youcheng was exposed because of collaborating with the enemy, he was stimulated and went crazy.

"The ancestors set up Wen's family rules for future generations to follow. There are words in the family rules, and if the son made a mistake, the father let it go. Today Wen Ju made a big mistake, and I am also at fault." Wen Shizhen said to the crowd, "Old man Now that I have no place to be ashamed, I will propose my resignation to the Holy Majesty in a few days."

Hearing this, Wen Xuechao raised his head and looked coldly at his father who was sitting on the head.

If the emperor really blamed him for linking up with foreign clans and assassinating the prince, it would be the crime of punishing the nine clans.I don't know what Wen Shizhen is doing in front of everyone.

"The Wen family is ashamed, and ashamed of the late emperor." Wen Shizhen paused, and continued, "This old man is the seventh generation head of the Wen family. Today, in front of the plaque bestowed by the late emperor, I beat the Nizi stick thirty times and removed it. Genealogy, expel me from Wen's family."

The people in the courtyard were shocked.Bai Wan took a step forward and said solemnly: "My lord, the case of collaborating with the enemy should be tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice together with Dali Temple. It is very inappropriate to use lynching without authorization."

Wen Shizhen frowned: "Lord Bai, the old man said that this is a family matter of my Wen family."

Bai Wan winked at the official of the Ministry of Punishment, the official of the capital understood, and quickly sent someone to escort Wen Xuechao away.As soon as the Prisoner of the Ministry of Punishment came to Wen Xuechao's side, he heard Xuechao say: "Wen Yu is punished."

After finishing speaking, he threw down the hem of his clothes, bowed deeply to Wen Shizhen, and performed a father-son salute.

Wen Shizhen let out a long sigh, with a distressed look on his face: "Get the whip."

Seeing Xue Chao's calm expression, Bai Wan's heart sank as if she had put life and death aside.He hastily called to Habayashi Wei beside him: "Go quickly to Prince Huai's mansion and report this matter to His Highness Huai Prince."

"Yes!"

Wen Xuechao took off her white clothes, revealing her smooth back.The steward holding the whip had already walked behind Wen Xuechao, and the whip hit the bluestone board, making a piercing and crisp sound.The steward is following the master's orders, and his hands are still trembling slightly.He just raised the long whip in his hand when he heard the young master suddenly say, "Is this what the Empress and His Royal Highness also mean?"

Wen Shizhen's body shook slightly, her eyes fixed on Wen Xuechao who was on the ground.Before he could open his mouth, he saw Wen Xue smiled clearly and averted his gaze.

Seeing Wen Shizhen's expression when he mentioned the Queen and Zhao Qimiao, Wen Xuechao understood everything.

Wen's century-old reputation cannot be destroyed by the unwarranted crime of collaborating with the enemy.The prince respects the way, and he can't make any mistakes because of the mistakes made by the mother clan.If the prince faction behind Wen's family wants to protect themselves wisely and not be implicated, they must sever all ties with him, a criminal.

The long whip whizzed across the air, and the tail of the whip landed on the fair skin, engraving bloodstains of different shades.The steward holding the whip didn't have much experience, and couldn't control the strength in his hand. A heavy whip was swept down his neck, and blood droplets immediately overflowed wherever it passed.

Beads of sweat dripped down her temples, Wen Xuechao finally couldn't bear the severe pain in her back, she raised her head back, and a flash of pain flashed in her eyes.

He swallowed the blood in his throat, remembering the first time he saw Zhao Qimiao.

Zhao Qimiao was one year older than him, and was raised by the crown prince as a big wife since he was a child.He was only five years old when he entered the palace as Zhao Qimiao's companion. Seeing the empress holding his cousin in her arms, the little prince felt aggrieved, so he showed his face for a long time.Zhao Qimiao has a cold temper and doesn't like to get close to people, but he is extremely tolerant towards Wen's cheap cousin.He often turns a blind eye and closes one eye, allowing him to run rampant in the palace.

When did he and Zhao Qimiao stop being called brothers and start treating each other like a monarch and minister, he didn't quite remember for a while.And he gradually became wary of himself, and no longer confided his heart as before, probably after he went to the Eastern Realm.

Wen Xuechao gritted his teeth, only to feel that his eyes were darkened for a while, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

The prince loves him, but he never softens to the suspicious people.

In a daze, he heard the sound of whips behind him, 28, 29, thirty...

"My lord, the family law is over."

The voice of the whip bearer came from far away, and Wen Xuechao felt the severe pain behind him slowly dissipating, as if he was floating in the clouds.

Since he was sensible, he has been fulfilling the duties of the son of the Wen family in the past dynasties, helping the prince to ascend the throne, and shining in the family.

How lucky he was to meet Zhao Fengci who had returned from Zhenbei when he was 15 years old.The deep glance His Highness the Fifth Highness gave him when he broke into the Upper Academy, for no reason gave him so many good times.

Before losing consciousness, Wen Xuechao thought so.

Watching Wen Xuechao receiving [-] lashes, fainting to death on the ground and unconscious, Bai Wan finally waited for the sent Habayashi guard to return.

"Why hasn't Your Highness come yet?" Bai Wan asked in a low voice, watching the Prisoner of the Ministry of Punishment step forward to carry him.

"Lord Bai, the steward of the palace said that His Royal Highness King Huai was not in the palace, so he went to Xinglong early this morning." Habayashi Wei said.
