Dongyin

Chapter 42

? "More than 30 ministers in the court have suffered such a disaster. Such a thing is really unheard of and unseen."

"Oh, brother Lu, you died so badly."

"That Zhou Ye was so courageous, even the imperial court officials dared to kill him, it was frantic."

……

"Such a person should destroy the Nine Clans."

In the Hall of Qinzheng, a group of ministers each held a wooden letter in their hands, panicking.It turned out that when they got up early in the morning, they all received the heads of their colleagues in the court, and the note on the wooden letter was actually from Zhou Ye's general's residence.

Some of these people cried and cursed, but most of them were worried.Su Jiali stood in the middle, suspicious and worried, although Zhou Ye said that he was informal in dealing with things, but he was never reckless.what on earth is it?

When the hall was in great chaos, an eunuch came out with a horn holding a horn. Seeing this, he was surprised and said, "It turns out that all the adults are here, and you got up early today."

Everyone was polite, lowered their heads to adjust their appearance, Su Jiali looked around, and asked aloud, "Is the emperor up?"

"Get up, get up, it's inside." The eunuch said repeatedly, "My lords, hurry up and make a list, we won't blow the horn right now."

Then everyone handed over and lined up, and the eunuch saw that the team was ready, and hurried in to report.

"Okay?" Duan Hong put the booklet on the table in surprise, an hour earlier than usual, why do people like to get up early this day?Although she was puzzled, she didn't think much about it. She drank her morning tea and went out.

The whip was fired in the hall, and all the officials knelt down and worshiped, shouting long live.

Duan Hong sat still, saying that he was flat.

Those ministers knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Your Majesty, please make decisions for your subjects."

Duan Hong looked up and looked down, and saw a wooden letter placed on the right side of each person, which was exactly the same as Wang Er's.Her complexion changed, but she remained calm, "Above the main hall, weeping and weeping, it's decent!" After a pause, she said slowly, "...what's the matter, come on." "

Everyone looked at the wooden letter next to them, not daring to speak.After a moment of silence, one person said, "Don't be fierce early in the morning, I dare not frighten His Majesty."

Duan Hong glanced at him coldly, and motioned to the Xing Yuguan.

Because the deacon was ordered to hand over the wooden letters, the imperial officials showed the wooden letters to Duan Hong one by one.Xing Yuguan's face turned green, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that Duan Hong didn't even frown, his limbs went limp, and the man's head rolled straight down to the Highness.

The whole hall was shocked.

"Go down." Duan Hong waved his hand, these people were all the ones who had written to sponsor Shen Zhi, she had expected that "I also have something to watch with you."

After finishing speaking, an eunuch held the wooden letter and went to the adult next to him.Shen Zhi in the box rolled his eyes upwards, staring at him intently, his face was already swollen.The man raised his head to look, and was immediately frightened out of his wits, unable to speak for a while.

There was a long period of silence in the hall for a stick of incense before it suddenly seemed like a pot exploded.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Ye's savage from the countryside, who holds his own strength and despises the officials of the court, even Shen Guogong will not let him go, the crime is to destroy the nine clans!"

"Zhou Ye is lawless and disregards the court guidelines. If His Majesty does not punish severely, how can the ministers and others feel at ease to do things for the country, the people, and His Majesty."

"Don't do anything bad on weekdays, and don't be surprised when you knock on the door in the middle of the night." Duan Hong looked down at them and said, "He Zhou Ye is not crazy, what are you afraid of?"

The crowd was speechless.

"Your Majesty, please let me know." The Su family said politely, "The details of the matter are not yet known, and I think it is not too late to file a case before convicting."

"The 32 courtiers in the upper hall received wooden letters, except for the old general who didn't. Everyone should be aware of this relationship."

"The old general and Zhou Ye are as close as brothers. It is better for the general to avoid suspicion in this incident."

"Okay," Duan Hong said impatiently, "The mighty general's words are to the point, which is advisable. Send me a letter to order Zhou Ye to come to Liang to see me quickly."

"Sister Ruyi, you can't enter this dungeon without the order of the sage. The princess has been gone for so long, and the emperor should have slept in the morning, so nothing will happen." A servant girl looked at the guard from time to time, worried.

"Your Majesty has a close relationship with the princess. Maybe your Majesty has given an oral order, but you and I don't know about it."

"But..." The servant girl hesitated to speak, she only prayed in her heart that Bai Yan would come out soon.Falsely preaching the imperial decree is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Naturally, Duan Hong would not do anything to Bai Yan. It is hard to say for them.

But things in the world are like this, the more you worry, the more things will happen.Before the servant girl Bodhisattva could ask her all over, a shrill voice came into her ear:

The emperor is here!

She turned pale in an instant, and turned around, only to see Duan Hong approaching this way with a frosty face, wearing a black brocade robe even more coldly.

"When you see His Majesty, don't kneel down!"

The maid was frightened.

Ruyi hurriedly pulled her skirt and knelt down.

"Ruyi." Duan Hong only glanced at the maidservant, then looked at Ruyi's head and said, "I told you to serve her, not to follow her to run amok."

There was a chill in Duan Hong's tone, and Ruyi's heart trembled, "Slave... I know I was wrong"

Duan Hong snorted coldly, and quickly walked into the dungeon.

But at that time, Bai Yan was still in prison.She guessed that Duan Hong was responding now, and she became more and more anxious.Reluctantly, Duan Yanxian pulled her back, not letting her go with tears in his eyes.

Finally, Bai Yan said, "Xianyun, I'll come and see you in two days, okay?"

"Sister" Duan Yanxian sat on the bamboo bed and held her hand tightly, "I'm afraid, can you stay with me for a while?"

"I..." Bai Yan bit her lip, unable to answer for a while.She stayed with Duan Hong and got along well, but every time they broke up because of Duan Yanxian's problem.This time she misinterpreted her words again and went to jail to visit Duan Yanxian. If she found out, she didn't know what would happen.

Just when she was hesitating, Duan Yanxian let out a sob, fell on her shoulder and shed tears again.

"Xianyun!" Bai Yan was startled and in pain, not knowing what to do, she patted her back, her heart was in a mess.

At this moment, the cell door rang, and Bai Yan was shocked, and then heard a familiar voice from the upper back:

"You don't sleep on the best gold silk embroidery bed, it's noon, come here to enjoy the cool?"

There was no trace of warmth in the voice.

Bai Yan was anxious and embarrassed, she just turned her head half begging and half helplessly looking at her and said angrily, "Hong'er!"

Duan Hong's expression softened a little, she walked to the front of the table, bent down and stretched out her hand, her tone softened, "Come back with me."

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and just when she was about to get up, her waist suddenly tightened.Duan Yanxian hugged her with all his strength, moved inside, and looked at Duan Hong warily.

Duan Hong straightened up, looked at Duan Yanxian coldly, "let go of her."

Xianyun!Bai Yan signaled her to let go with her eyes, she was extremely nervous, how could she be so confused at this juncture!

Duan Yanxian held her tightly as if he hadn't seen her before, and said, "Sister, you don't want to go if you don't want to go, why do you have to bend down and go with her? Although it's cold and simple here, my heart is no more comfortable than that gold silk embroidered bed." Is it a million times stronger?"

Duan Hong's complexion suddenly turned livid, and the atmosphere was surprisingly strange.

Bai Yanru was chilled by a bucket of cold water, she looked at Duan Yanxian in disbelief.Why did she say such things? Did she want to use herself to provoke Duan Hong? Why, they were so nice, and she was so kind.

There was a trace of guilt in Duan Yanxian's eyes, but more of it was the pleasure after revenge. She turned her head and looked at Duan Hong full of ridicule.

Duan Hong froze, and after half a stick of incense, she finally asked Bai Yan, "Are you coming with me?"

"I..." Her waist tightened again, Bai Yan's heart was completely cold, and she said in a daze, "I still have something to say to Xianyun." What can she do, hurting Duan Hong's heart is better than hurting Duan Yan's life .

"I'll ask again, will you follow me?" Duan Hong gritted his teeth, his voice was heavy but not loud.

Bai Yan remained silent.

Duan Hong looked at her, endured it for a while, then suddenly kicked the bed leg heavily, and left.

Bai Yan's strength seemed to be gradually withdrawn with the sound of footsteps. She quietly looked at the upturned thatch, and suddenly felt so ridiculous.This is the so-called sisterhood in her heart, and it is so vulnerable in the face of interests.She is still trying to save her, and because of this, she broke up with Duan Hong many times.

"Sister." Duan Yanxian pulled her, apologetic and uneasy, "I'm sorry."

"Xianyun" Bai Yan stared at her, recalling the pictures of the happy time in the past, and said lightly, "I'm afraid I can't do what I promised you that day."

Can't, is it powerless or unwilling?Duan Yanxian was anxious and frightened, and panicked, "Sister, I was just joking." She had no one to trust, only Bai Yan.

Bai Yan smiled bitterly, and moved her hand away, "I can't bear it."

Duan Yanxian was stunned, Bai Yan didn't save her, what should she do, how could she get out of this cage?
