give you two choices

When Nan Qiqi heard that the emperor wanted him and Lu Rulan to enter the palace, she was also a little flustered. At this time, Zhao Cheng was still the prince, and the emperor didn't know that Lu Ziqian was the prince. Now that Lu Ziqian was not in the capital, could the emperor want to do it for Zhao Cheng? Call the shots?

Originally, he was startled and uncertain, but now seeing Zhao Cheng's high-spirited look, his heart beat even more.

Lu Rulan took Nan Qiqi's hand and whispered into his ear, "Did you hit Zhao Cheng this morning?"

Nan Qiqi hesitated for a moment, and said in Lu Rulan's ear: "Mother, I'm sorry, I did hit him, and I will bear it in front of His Majesty later, mother, you must not speak for me."

Lu Rulan's face turned pale when she heard this, she firmly held onto Nan Qiqi's hand: "You are not allowed to mention this matter again, when the emperor asked, he said that I beat you, Sisi is still young, What can I do without you, daddy?"

Nan Qiqi's eyes were red, at this moment Lin Ziyi walked up to them and whispered in their ears: "Don't talk nonsense for a while, the emperor will answer whatever you ask."

The two people who were originally scared saw Lin Ziyi coming, as if they saw the backbone, they let go of their hanging hearts.

Many times before, it was Lin Ziyi who helped resolve the crisis, and this time they believed that Lin Ziyi would also help.

When they entered the palace, Qian Yi rushed over anxiously and said that he wanted to see the emperor, "What does the emperor want Qi Qi to do? It is impossible for Qi Qi to hit someone, and even if he did, it would be Zhao Cheng's fault. "

The prime minister also came and said that Lu Ziqian was outside to provide disaster relief. At this time, his family should not be punished too harshly, otherwise Lu Ziqian's heart would be chilled.

But the emperor didn't see any of them, only Zhao Cheng, Lu Rulan and Nan Qiqi.

When they arrived in the main hall, Zhao Cheng hurriedly called his father, the emperor frowned in dissatisfaction, then he didn't even look at him, but asked Lu Rulan: "I heard that you adopted Lu Ziqian, do you still remember where you found him?" Lu Ziqian?"

When Zhao Cheng heard this, he immediately panicked and wanted to stop him, but he was firmly held down by the eunuch at the side. The eunuch's action and the emperor's question made his heart feel like falling into an ice cave.

Lu Rulan didn't know why the emperor asked this question, but Nan Qiqi instantly understood what was going on.

Although Lu Rulan didn't know why the emperor would ask such a question, she still gave a straightforward answer.

After she finished answering, Nan Qiqi added that before they entered Beijing, they went to worship Lu Ziqian's biological mother, but found that the grave had been dug up. His bones were lost.

The emperor felt guilty when he heard that the bones were lost, because he dug out the bones.

The emperor asked again: "Did you build that tomb for her?"

Lu Rulan nodded in acknowledgment.

The emperor asked again when he saw Lu Ziqian's mother, did she wear a jade pendant.

Lu Rulan said that the woman didn't have any jewelry on her back, she didn't even have any luggage, she didn't have a penny on her body, her coat was stripped off, only her inner was left, and when I saw her, she had just passed away.

"Just died!" The emperor clenched his fists angrily, and understood what was going on, "Bring Zhao Cheng's family here!"

Zhao Chengcheng's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp. Fortunately, he had urinated his pants once in Dongchang, and now he couldn't urinate, otherwise he could urinate again.

After a while, Zhao Cheng's family was brought into the hall, and Zhao Cheng's parents, brothers and sisters knelt down in a row.

The emperor asked Mother Zhao, "Is Zhao Cheng your own, or did you pick it up from the mountain? Tell the truth!"

Mother Zhao didn't dare to tell the truth, she insisted that she picked it up.

The emperor looked at her coldly, "You did see Jin Yao and his child on the mountain, didn't you? It's just that when you saw their mother and son, Jin Yao was still alive! Clothes and jewelry are all stolen, I ask you, is it right or not?"

Mother Zhao was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, "No! Your Majesty! I didn't. When I saw her, she had died!"

"If you had rescued her back then, she wouldn't have died! You are a snake and a scorpion!" The emperor no longer wanted to hear her excuses, "Come here, since they are unwilling to confess, then send their family to Dongchang for interrogation."

Lin Ziyi took the order, and asked the emperor seemingly unintentionally: "Do you want to visit their hometown to investigate and ask about Zhao Cheng's life experience?"

The emperor nodded, "It's really time to check it out."

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng already felt that he was not far from death, and what was more terrifying than death was going to Dongchang to be tortured.

If he hadn’t been to the East Factory, it’s okay to say, those who don’t know are fearless, but just now he entered the East Factory, saw the instruments of torture in the East Factory, heard other annoying howls, and saw a familiar adult, That official usually cares about face the most. He always puts on airs in front of outsiders and never bows to anyone.

But when he was beaten to a bloody mess in the East Factory, he would kneel down and beg for mercy, like a dying dog.

How could he have survived that kind of criminal law even when his hard bones had become like this.

He was scared, and he quickly pulled his mother's sleeve and said, "Mother, just tell the truth, we can't survive Dongchang's punishment at all."

Mother Zhao looked at her son with a pale face, "What are you talking about, what I just said is the truth."

But Zhao Cheng was so frightened that he lost his soul. He lay on the ground and kept kowtowing to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's all her fault. She insists on me pretending to be the prince. I am not happy with it. If I want to punish, I will punish her. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Cheng'er, how could you say that about your mother!" Father Zhao looked at his son in horror. He knew that his son was not responsible, but he didn't expect to say such words at such a critical moment of life and death for the whole family.

The other brothers and sisters also panicked, but they had never seen such a big world before, they were so frightened that they could not speak, their faces were so pale that they almost fainted.

Zhao's mother saw that the matter had come to this point, so she had to admit, "I lied to him. Cheng'er didn't know anything. He heard my words and thought he was really the prince. This matter has nothing to do with him. I did everything." Yes, if you want to punish me, please punish me."

The emperor looked at their family coldly, "Zhao Cheng, do you want to live?"

Zhao Cheng nodded quickly, he wanted to live so much, no matter what he was asked to do, he wanted to live.

The emperor pondered for a moment, "I give you two choices, one is to behead your whole family together..."

"I choose two!" Zhao Cheng hurriedly said before the emperor finished speaking.

The emperor frowned in displeasure, "Listen to what I said, and second, you can continue to live in the palace. Your mother said you didn't know about it. After all, I really raised you as my own son, so I can continue to let you be my son." Adopted son, it's just..."

When Zhao Cheng heard what he said earlier, he felt happy for a while. The emperor was still thinking about their father-son relationship. Being the adopted son of the emperor was better than going back to the countryside.

When Nan Qiqi heard the emperor's words, she was also very angry. In his last life, he hated the emperor very much. In this life, he hated the emperor even more. He knew that he was cheated by Zhao Cheng, but he still accepted Zhao Cheng as his adopted son;

Only Lin Ziyi noticed that the emperor's expression was not right, and he knew that when the emperor showed the expression at this moment, he was about to die.

The emperor paused for a moment, and continued to speak: "If you choose the second option and become my adopted son, you have to share my worries. The people next to you are people who have deceived and fooled me. These people deserve to die. Killed them for me with my own hands."

Zhao Cheng opened his eyes wide in horror, staring blankly at the emperor, as if his soul had been taken away.

The emperor added indifferently, "Ling Chi, you execute the execution yourself."

The Zhao family was terrified. They grabbed Zhao Cheng's arms and clothes and said, "You can't choose the second option. At worst, our family will die together."

When Zhao Cheng heard the word death, he shook his head frantically, "No, no, no, I can't die, I haven't lived enough!"

"Then do as I say." The emperor asked him, "You don't dare."

"I dare, I dare!" Zhao Cheng kept kowtowing, he was completely confused, he would respond to what the emperor said, as long as he could survive, he didn't even think about the word Lingchi that the emperor said.

The beheading was so painful that the whole head would fall off the neck, rolling around on the ground, and blood spurting from the neck.

He had gone to watch a beheading scene before, and when he watched it, he only saw it as a curiosity, but he never thought that this would happen to him.

He didn't want to be beheaded by people watching, and he didn't want to suffer that knife.

Hearing what he said, his family was ashamed in every way.

"How can you be so ruthless!"

"Cheng'er, I'm your father, can you do it?"

"You want to live for yourself, how can you disregard our life and death?"

"Why don't you say why you enjoy the blessings with me when you are enjoying the blessings?" Zhao Cheng cried and wailed, he doesn't want to die, as long as the knife doesn't cut himself!

Seeing this, Lu Rulan, who was quite courageous, was also frightened and couldn't recover for a long time.

Nan Qiqi on the side watched coldly. In his last life, he was tortured by this family. Not only Zhao Cheng beat him, but other people also beat and scolded him. He wished for them to die. Now that he heard that they were really going to die, Moreover, Zhao Cheng personally operated the knife, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

Killing one's own family members with one's own hands is a more painful torture for others than one's own death.

But Nan Qiqi felt that Zhao Cheng would not have such thoughts. He clearly understood what kind of selfish, cold-blooded and useless waste Zhao Cheng was.

The emperor also looked at him coldly, even he looked down on Zhao Cheng, and he became more and more annoyed, why did he accept such a worthless person as his son? People are similar to him!

The emperor waved his hand: "Take them all down!"

After Zhao Cheng and his family were taken away, the emperor said a few more words to appease Nan Qiqi and Lu Rulan, and said that when Lu Ziqian came back, he would personally recognize Lu Ziqian.

Before leaving, Nan Qiqi was asked to bring Sisi into the palace to play whenever he had time.

Sisi and the fifteenth prince played well last time, let them strengthen their relationship.

He also said that Lu Yao used to call the fifteenth prince his elder brother, but now he is going to call the fifteenth prince his uncle, and his seniority is different.

When Lu Rulan heard these words, she understood in a daze, that the child she picked up turned out to be the prince!

On the way back, she confirmed with Nan Qiqi again and again, "Your Majesty said that our Ziqian is the prince? Ziqian's mother is the emperor's woman?"

Nan Qiqi nodded, but he also knew that the emperor was not good, although Lu Ziqian never told Nan Qiqi what his mother had experienced with the emperor.

But Lu Ziqian once said that he would kill the emperor, so the emperor must have done a lot of excessive things to Lu Ziqian's biological mother.

This reminded Nan Qiqi of her previous life, tortured by Zhao Cheng's family.

He also thought about running away, but he didn't have that chance. He managed to escape back to his mother's house once, and was sent back by his own parents.

That kind of dark fear makes Nan Qiqi shiver when he thinks about it now. He often stares at the paintings of fairies Jin Yao drawn by Lu Ziqian, thinking that such a kind-hearted, capable and far-sighted woman, why not To be treated like that?Even if that person is the emperor, he is not worthy of Fairy Jin Yao, let alone hurt her.

Lu Rulan also thought of something, they sat in their own carriage, there were no outsiders, but Lu Rulan was still afraid of being heard by others, so she lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid this emperor is not a good person. Back then, Ziqian's mother carried the child and left. I was heartbroken by him, and I don't know if Ziqian is willing to recognize the emperor as his father."

"This is the end of the matter, let's talk about it when he comes back." Nan Qiqi heard that Lu Ziqian said that he wanted to kill the emperor, and then saw that Lu Ziqian revealed in the comic book that he was the child of Fairy Jin Yao. Didn't he just tell the emperor that he was the emperor? child.

Lu Ziqian should think that as a prince, he can often enter the palace and strike without the emperor's defenses.

Thinking that Lu Ziqian was going to assassinate the emperor, Nan Qiqi's heart beat violently. Although he was afraid, he would unconditionally support what Lu Ziqian wanted to do, even if he risked his life.

……

Lu Ziqian had already arrived at the disaster site, and everything seemed normal here. The guards at the gate came to ask Lu Ziqian what they were here for. Hearing that Lu Ziqian was an imperial envoy, he respectfully invited them into the city, saying that all the officials in the city were waiting for their arrival.

This group of people entered the city and found that the city was cleaned very clean. There were still pedestrians and small businesses on the street, which seemed normal.

Lu Ziqian shook his head with a smile, "At this time, do you still do this kind of superficial effort, do you think we are all fools? Will you believe it?"

Zhang Tiancai asked him, "Brother, are these all fake?"

"These are almost all actors, and they acted for us. They probably hid the real victims of the disaster." Lu Ziqian said to Zhang Tiancai, "When we get to the place, we will take them directly."

They had a list in their hands, and the lives on the list were all told to them by the bandit leader before, and almost all officials, big and small, in the city were among them.

The officials in this city are already very corrupt, otherwise so many disaster victims would not be able to escape.

"After arresting people, I'll interrogate them one by one." There are good people among Lu Ziqian, bad people cannot be let go, and good people cannot be wronged.

When they arrived at the government office, more than a dozen officials, large and small, came out, their faces were not very good, and their clothes were patched.

They cried poorly to Lu Ziqian, saying that the natural disaster was too serious this time. There was a flood first, and then there was a drought after the flood fell. The power is too meager.
