Chapter 167 Uncle Xiong Complains
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Song Xi nodded with a smile and responded to all Yu Yalan's requests.
As long as she was willing to stay in Yanzhou safely, he would dare to brave the mountains of swords and fire ahead.
Seeing that the girl's pace slowed down and she looked tired, Song Xi immediately put her on his back.
"I'll carry you on my back the rest of the way. If you're tired, just take a nap first."
Yu Yalan did not refuse, just lying lazily on the man's back.
The faint fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose and lips, and the rhythm of walking made her drowsy.
The cold moonlight fell gently, stretching the silhouettes of the two people very long.
…
Now that he has decided to return to Beijing to redress his grievances, he must make arrangements in all aspects.
The interrogation of the three traitor generals went very smoothly, and the whole truth could be obtained with one mantra pill.
In order to prevent any accidents or mistakes in the plan, Song Xi fed Xiang Rui and the others puppet pills. At that time, Xiong Jianlin would take them to the pilgrimage and let these traitors reveal all their plots and plots in front of a crowd of courtiers.
.
Yu Yalan and her brother were also ready to discuss specific actions with Song Xi.
The equipment, elixirs, and food for the long journey must all be in place, and support personnel must be arranged along the way. Several plans have been prepared for this plan, and there is a way to escape whether it succeeds or fails.
This is a bold adventure without precedent, and no one dares to be careless.
Three days later, everything was perfectly prepared and it was time for the team entering Beijing to set off.
Song Xi and Yu Yalan specially went to the ancestral hall to offer incense and pray to the relatives of the Song family, praying that this operation could be completed successfully.
Xiong Jianlin and the other three also burned incense and worshiped together, and made a sonorous promise in front of the old marshal to try their best to reverse the case.
The lovers reluctantly said goodbye and repeated their worried instructions over and over again.
The Avengers galloped their horses and whips, and embarked on the journey back to Beijing with hatred and hope.
…
In early autumn, the group finally arrived in the capital.
The magic pill concealed his original appearance, and no one knew that the son of the criminal who was still wanted had sneaked back to his hometown.
Song Xi disguised himself as a street vendor and passed by Dingbei Hou Mansion while wandering.
The former home is now dilapidated and depressed, and the seal on the main entrance has become a little yellowed and old.
There was still a large amount of light blood stains on the ground in front of the door, indicating that a shocking tragedy had occurred here.
There are many surveillance eyes and ears hidden nearby, which shows that the royal family has never given up its determination to hunt down Song Xi.
The ordinary-looking salesman lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, revealing a sarcastic sneer under the cover of his bamboo hat.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so afraid of the Song family and was still preparing for him to return to the capital for revenge after a year. Since the other party cared about him so much, he did not want to disappoint the Wu family and his son.
Song Xi didn't stay too long, took one look and walked away.
The sight in the dark didn't notice him, and just regarded him as a passerby without any abnormalities.
It has been more than a year since the Hou Mansion was exterminated. Although the royal family has not relaxed its pursuit of the remnants of the Song family, the people below have long been paralyzed by the boring life day after day.
The next day, I went to court, in the Jinluan Hall.
The dispirited Emperor Yuanfeng looked at the people bowing and saluting below, and an ominous premonition flashed through his heart.
The news that Xiong Jianlin was injured and disabled had already spread back to the capital, and the emperor was not surprised by his appearance.
If the border guard generals want to be disbanded and return to their fields, they must first return to the capital to report to the emperor and complete their duty report before they can successfully resign. Otherwise, they will be prosecuted.
Xiong Jianlin must have come to the court today to report on his duties and complete the last step before disarming, but he just returned to Beijing by himself. Why did he bring the three serving generals who were supposed to guard Xiliang with him?
"What's going on? Border guard generals are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. Do you want to be punished and beheaded?"
Emperor Yuanfeng's angry voice was deep and powerful, and his cloudy eyes were filled with displeasure.
Xiong Jianlin disapproved in his heart, but showed an expression of indignation on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. A few days ago, I accidentally heard the truth about the fall of Ganzhou. I thought it was unbelievable at first, but after careful investigation, I discovered a shocking secret. What happened next?
Let General Xiang and others explain on their own and explain to the Holy One how they plotted against Dingbei Hou Mansion. Please be patient and wait for the Holy One to calm down. After listening, they will deal with it impartially and seek justice for Dingbei Hou who died in vain!"
Emperor Yuanfeng was shocked when he heard this and immediately interrupted the next report.
However, Xiang Rui and the others did not give him a chance. They knelt down in the middle of the hall and loudly announced their crimes to the public.
How were they bribed by the eldest and second princes, and how they followed orders to plan for the destruction of Ganzhou, how the defense plan was leaked to the Tatars, and how they set up a plan to harm Dingbei Hou and his son.
What kind of trap was set.
One by one, they were all described in great detail. The evil motives and the seriousness of the crimes made all the courtiers present change their expressions and become very angry!
All the details were explained in detail, everything corresponded to what they knew, the witnesses and evidence were all present, the traitors surrendered themselves, and nothing could be excused.
The court was completely in chaos.
The forces from all sides instantly started a crazy fight.
The eldest prince's faction headed by Prime Minister He, the second prince's faction headed by Duke Wei, the other princes' factions, as well as Dingbei Hou's old friends and colleagues, as well as a few neutral officials, all began to impeach and suppress the other party's faction with harsh words.
Arrogant, trying to use this turmoil to criticize political opponents.
The entire hall was as noisy as a market street, and the confrontation between civil servants and military generals also reached its peak at this time.
Xiong Jianlin and others wailed and cried bitterly, requesting the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter, prove the innocence of the Dingbei Hou family who died in vain, and drop all false accusations of collaboration with the enemy.
Emperor Yuanfeng was furious, his body faintly collapsed due to the vicious consumption of poisonous pills and women.
"How outrageous! Shut up, everyone! What's the point of making noises? Do you really take me, the emperor, seriously?"
The noisy court was quiet for a moment, but Prime Minister He's speech broke the calm again.
"Here comes someone! The three Xiang Rui left their posts without permission and violated military regulations. They will be thrown into the sky prison for torture and interrogation to find out who was behind it to instigate them to slander His Highness!"
The eldest prince is their He family's hope for eternal prosperity, and he must not be ruined here!
Xiong Jianlin limped forward and rushed forward, slapping Prime Minister He to the ground with a wave of his palm.
"You, an old man with ulterior motives, want to take the opportunity to destroy witnesses and cover up the crime? The Holy Emperor is still sitting on the throne! What qualifications do you have to give orders here?"
The provocative words stung Emperor Yuanfeng's fragile nerves like needle pricks, and waves of angry emotions hit his brain and heart. He wanted to scold these unruly ministers, but his eyes suddenly turned black and he completely disappeared.
Awareness.
