Oiran son

"I still remember that year, when you went out on a mission for the first time, I greeted you at the gate of the city like now. The scene of that day is still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect that many years later, things changed, and our two brothers It has become like this, why do you think it has become like this?" Zhu Xu said emotionally.

Ouyang Chen sneered, "The lord doesn't mean to say that I caused all this by myself?"

Zhu Xu sighed, "If I knew today, why bother. I missed the friendship between you and me for many years, and I begged my father to forgive you, but I don't know that you still don't know how to repent. Well, if this is the case, I don't want to say more explain."

He took out an imperial decree from his arms and pointed at Ouyang Chenshen.

"The guilty minister Ouyang Xiujie colluded with the prince of Yan Kingdom, intending to overthrow my Great Xia. The evidence of the crime is convincing. As a son of man, Ouyang Chen should be imprisoned together. Come and capture him!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out from behind Zhu Xu, rushed towards Ouyang Chen, and surrounded him heavily.

Ouyang Chen's personal guard, seeing the man's approaching posture, drew out his long knife without thinking about it, and protected him.

"Criminal Ouyang Chen, if you don't let go and arrest you, you even instigated your subordinates to resist, the crime will be increased!" Zhu Xu was riding on the horse, accusing him arrogantly, and was about to order everyone to go forward and arrest Ouyang Chen. If there is any resistance, they will be killed. Jin hurriedly talked, but heard Ouyang Chen say.

"Everyone back down! I'll go back with you."

The last sentence was for Zhu Xu.

Seeing Ouyang Chen jumping off the horse and posing as if grabbing with both hands, Zhu Xu was slightly startled, as if he hadn't expected that the other party would surrender without any resistance.

What is he thinking?

Pursing his lips, suppressing his doubts, Zhu Xu ordered his subordinates to take Ouyang Chen away.

Zhu Xu originally thought that when Ouyang Chen was at the gate of the city, he pretended to surrender, and there must be someone behind him.For example, ask someone to go to Emperor Jing for help, or ask someone to secretly rescue Ouyang Xiujie's family.

However, until Ouyang Chen was imprisoned, nothing that Zhu Xu expected happened.

"No! There must be something wrong with this."

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu paced up and down the room, looking extremely troubled.

"My lord, Ouyang Chen has been imprisoned, and we have the testimony of Ouyang Xiujie, and the evidence of his collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. He must have lost his wings." Qi Nian comforted him softly, and really didn't understand what Zhu Xu was worried about.

Zhu Xu sat down on the chair, took a sip from his teacup, then put down the teacup as if thinking of something again, with a serious expression on his face.

"Bring Ouyang Xiujie's confession, and check to see if there is anything wrong with the evidence."

"Yes." Qi Nian got up, walked to the cabinet, opened the door with a key, took out the confession and evidence, and handed it to Zhu Xu for inspection.

After checking one by one, there was nothing wrong with it, and the tense lines on Zhu Xu's face relaxed.

Could it be that he is overthinking?

"I wonder if this is Ouyang Chen's strategy of retreating to advance?" Qi Nian walked up behind Zhu Xu and beat him on the shoulder.

"Speak clearly." Zhu Xu closed his eyes and said.

"Ouyang Chen knew that his adoptive father fell into our hands, but he couldn't think of any way to save him for a while, so he didn't resist and let us deal with it. The purpose was to make us suspect what was going on with him and make us mess up. position. In fact, he doesn't have many chips at all..."

"Father!" Hearing this, Zhu Xu suddenly opened his eyes.

Father has never dealt with Ouyang Xiujie's case, just wanted to wait for Ouyang Chen to come back, now that he is back, there is no reason for father to be silent.

"Come here! Keep a close watch on the palace, and report back immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes." The spy took the order and left.

At the same time, in the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you really letting His Royal Highness King Ming and the others put General Ouyang in prison like this, and not intervene?" Shuangxi asked worriedly.

Emperor Jing raised his eyes from the memorial, glanced at Yao Shuangxi, but answered the question irrelevantly.

"Have you told him about Chen'er's return?"

Needless to say who he was referring to, Yao Shuangxi knew it was Luo Yun.

"Yes, after General Ouyang entered the city and was taken away by His Royal Highness, the servant sent someone to tell Mr. Luo the news."

"Then how did he react?"

"He-" The corners of Yao Shuangxi's eyes twitched, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.

When Emperor Jing invited Zhu Xu to ask for an order, he simply approved the request to put Ouyang Chen in prison, and at the same time, signaled Yao Shuangxi to tell Luo Yun the news.

Yao Shuangxi thought that Luo Yun would react when he learned of Ouyang Chen's return, but he didn't know that the person who went to see him said so when he came back.

"After Mr. Luo heard the news that General Ouyang was imprisoned, not only did he not make a scene, but he was worried and frightened. Instead, he was calm. He just asked about the time of the interrogation."

Emperor Jing paused while reviewing the memorial, "He really didn't worry at all, and didn't make any demands?"

Shuangxi nodded, and then remembered something authentic: "After the messenger left, he only asked the guards to go to Wangyue Tower to order his favorite roast chicken and come back. I didn't expect him to like roast chicken so much."

Emperor Jing's eyes flickered, "I don't know if you like roast chicken, but you send someone to find out about the Moon Tower."

Yao Shuangxi's heart trembled, "Your Majesty is suspicious, so there is something weird about Wangyue Tower?"

"If there's anything weird, go and find out." Emperor Jing picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip, but found that the tea was a little cold, so he put down the cup, and Shuangxi immediately asked the little eunuch at the side to pour a cup of hot tea back.

"Go to Dali Temple yourself and see if Chen'er has suffered any grievances there." Emperor Jing thought for a while.

"Yes." Yao Shuangxi immediately took the order and left. He knew that the Holy Majesty just said nothing, but he was still very nervous about Ouyang Chen's son.

"Eunuch Double Happiness."

Ouyang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.Seeing that the person who came in was Yao Shuangxi, a look of joy flashed across his face.

"General Ouyang, the servant is here on the orders of the Holy Majesty, to see what you need?"

As Yao Shuangxi said, he put the lunch box he had brought on the only stone bed in the prison, and looked around, with a somewhat unsightly expression.

"How dare this group of servants dare to obey others, I have already ordered them not to neglect you, but they actually arranged for you to live in this kind of place!"

Although the cell looked relatively clean, the bedding on the bed hadn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time, and when one stood closer, a disgusting stench came over one's face.Moreover, the light here is dim, giving people the illusion of being in it and never seeing the sun.

"Eunuch Shuangxi doesn't need to get angry. In fact, compared to other things, this place is already a house." Ouyang Chen didn't care, and turned the topic to the main topic.

"Please Eunuch go back and tell the Holy Majesty that I'm fine, so that the old man doesn't have to worry about me." After a pause, his tone changed.

"I don't know if my father-in-law has seen Brother Yun, is he okay now?"
