Chapter 174: Changed Destiny
Rokuro took three steps at a time, quickly came to the lame man, and squatted down.
The cripple's muscles tensed up and he was very alert at first, and then when he saw the face of Rokuro looking up, he froze in place.
With trembling hands, Rokuro gently brushed away the lame man's messy hair. In an instant, a familiar face appeared in front of him!
Rokuro's lips moved several times before he found his voice: "Master, why are you here?"
The lame man's lips were white and his face was covered with dirt.
What he wanted to say was trembling, but he couldn't say it. Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence.
"Didn't I ask you to go to the north? Why are you back again?"
Rokuro wanted to tell the master everything, but he was afraid that the walls would have ears: "It's a long story. "Master, what did you do that you were arrested?"
When the cripple mentioned this, he became very angry. "Back then in Kyoto, I was...ahem, a little injured. I couldn't go south, so I was looking for a job and rested for a while."
"It just so happens that the son of the Su family likes martial arts and recruits people in the martial arts. With my skills, not to mention being the best, I should be able to make a living. I didn't expect that Boss Qiu, who was so unlucky, was defeated by Madam Huang and defeated us. The road!”
“I linger on. After months of breathing, the road is finally clear. Boss Qiu came to me again and said that he had a deal and wanted to do it with me. I don’t know who it is, but time is running out! All of them are in jail!"
Rokuro's heart slowly cooled down.
So, the culprit who caused the master to be imprisoned is himself? !
The lame man whispered in his ear: "Although the employer is from the Central Plains, I think this matter must have something to do with the North. Maybe Yongchang Hou has already defected to the North."
After the lame man finished talking about his story, he looked at Liu Lang: "Why were you imprisoned? Let's think of a way to see if we can redeem you."
Liu Lang smiled bitterly: "It was also because Marquis Yongchang was arrested. Come in."
The cripple spat on the ground and cursed secretly: "We. We don't get along with the Yongchang Marquis, so don't get close to them in the future."
"I don't know if I owed them in my previous life, so why are we master and disciple so weak?"
< br>Not far away from the prison, Longwu General Li Aotian was sitting on the upper position, feeling secretly happy.
It's much more satisfying to have a love rival help you achieve great achievements than to fight to the death!
"General Li, we have arrested three groups of people, do we want to torture them?"
Li Aotian nodded slightly: "This group of people, I look a bit like spies from the north. If you torture yourself, you might be able to catch a big fish."
"Will Marquis Yongchang be released?"
Li Aotian lowered his eyes, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth. : "Has Mrs. Yongchang Hou spoken?"
"Never."
"Then there is no need to release it. It means that this bait is still useful."
The county magistrate nodded, and then hurriedly went to find the minister of Dali Temple for help.
There is no curfew in Kyoto in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many hook-up tile shops with bright lights. The air is filled with the fragrance of makeup and powder, and the teasing laughter of men and women is everywhere, which makes people's hearts itch.
But the county magistrate didn't care about this and only headed towards the Qing's family in Dali Temple. "Wu County Magistrate, what brought you here?" The minister of Dali Temple had a kind face.
Although Magistrate Wu is a small magistrate, he is in charge of Kyoto.
It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor, so many people will still give Magistrate Wu a penny or two.
Wu County Magistrate didn't even have time to drink tea, so he signaled the temple minister to wave away his servants and talk in secret.
Although the Minister of Dali Temple was doubtful, he still followed the good advice.
"Sir, I'm here to ask for your help." Magistrate Wu told the whole story, and then said with a grimace, "Now my prison can't even fit in it! If another wave of thieves comes, the prison will be destroyed. If you open it, there might be big trouble!"
The Minister of Dali Temple was also shocked: "You mean, Mrs. Yongchang Hou used Yongchang Hou as bait to lure out a large number of thieves? General Wu still suspects that these thieves are connected with the Northern Territory?"
"That's right!"
"No, Yongchang Marquis has been guarding the border for more than ten years, and there must be a blood feud with the Northern Territory. It doesn’t make sense for them to be enemies of life and death!”
Maybe there is collusion?
The Minister of Dali Temple looked suspicious of life: "Then Mrs. Yongchang Hou should keep this matter secret. They are husband and wife, share weal and woe, and have a connected destiny. Why should we use Yongchang Hou as bait to expose this matter?"
Magistrate Wu didn't understand either and could only speculate: "Perhaps it was because Mrs. Yongchang Hou had a righteous heart and the bright moon shone on the mountains and rivers, so she killed her relatives out of justice?"
The Dali Temple Minister's mind turned into a ball of mush: "I don't understand, and I am greatly shocked. What does Mrs. Yongchang Hou want?"
"Mrs. Yongchang Hou has a far-sighted vision and a turbulent heart. How can we speculate at will?" Although Magistrate Wu could not kill his relatives for the sake of justice, he greatly admired people like Mrs. Yongchang Hou who put the country first.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that the peaceful Kyoto and the stable Zhou Dynasty exist today.
The Minister of Dali Temple didn't understand, but he still wanted to help: "This matter is quite urgent. If we follow the normal process, we won't be able to do it for half a month. I will go see the Holy Master tomorrow and explain to him Please let your Majesty make a decision on this matter.”
“Excuse me, sir!”
Magistrate Wu was relieved that he had successfully passed this important matter on to the tall man.
When it comes to the northern border, and there are so many people, I can just take a little credit. I really want to take all of this, I am afraid that it will not be the credit, but it will kill me!
The sun rises in the east.
Early the next morning, the minister of Dali Temple secretly reported the matter to the Holy Emperor.
The young emperor suddenly understood and said with great joy. : "It turns out that this is my sister's real intention! You must first settle down the enemy! My sister wants to fight to the death with the Northern Territory, but for so many years, there are countless spies from the Northern Territory ambushing Dazhou! This group of people is holding us back. , no wonder we have been defeated repeatedly in battles with the Northern Territory!"
Although the Minister of Dali Temple did not understand from a personal point of view, why Mrs. Yongchang Hou did this. But from the court's point of view, Mrs. Yongchang Hou's operations are awesome.
"You only need to offend a small Marquis of Yongchang to lure out a large number of northern spies! He is worthy of being the wisest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
The young emperor looked ashamed: "It's because I was too small-minded and misunderstood Sister! It turns out that she was not motivated by emotion or for her own selfishness. She was doing it for us, Dazhou! There have been so many rumors during this period, and Sister has been wronged"
"Yes, it is said that secrets cannot pass the second person's ears. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Mrs. Yongchang Hou broke her silver teeth and swallowed it in her stomach without telling anyone about it! We have endured the humiliation and bear the burden so far, we are ashamed of ourselves! ”
The young emperor wiped his eyes Jiao's tears: "In that case, you should cooperate with Magistrate Wu's actions and torture those thieves first. If there are dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water, then kill them on the spot for treason!"
