Chapter 257 Dust settled

Black Panther's own army's internal prison.

Xie Wangzu relied on his identity and came directly to the cell on the fifth floor of Gongsun.

At this time, Gongsun's fifth floor had long lost his former demeanor and sat on the land of the cell with a dull expression. He didn't know whether he was regretting or praying that someone could come to save him.

The sound of Xie Wangzu's footsteps shocked the fifth floor of Gongsun in meditation. As soon as he saw Xie Wangzu, he immediately jumped up like chicken blood, ran to the fence, grabbed the railing hard, and said eagerly: "The Lord Lord save me"

Xie Wangzu looked around and shouted first, "What you have committed is the heinous death penalty, and no one can save you."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "If you die alone, or the whole family will die. Think about it!"

After listening to Xie Wangzu's words, Gongsun's fifth floor was struck by lightning, his hands slipped from the fence, involuntarily stepped back a few steps, and then rushed over.

"No... I don't want to die yet. Please help me. You are your majesty's father-in-law. Your majesty will definitely not do anything to you, as long as the majesty saves..."

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Xie Wangzu: "The imperial edict has not been issued yet. If you break it by yourself now, Your Majesty will definitely not pursue your family again, otherwise you will not be the only one who will die."

"As long as you take care of everything and let me pass this, I will take good care of your family."

After Xie Wangzu finished speaking, he looked left and right again. After confirming that there was no one around him, he quickly took out a pill from his sleeve and threw it to Gongsun's fifth floor, and then turned around and strode away.

Xie Wangzu knew very well that he could not hide his coming to the heavenly prison at all, but as long as Gongsun died on the fifth floor, there would be no evidence. No matter how angry the emperor was, he could not do anything to him.

"Abbot..."

The voice on the fifth floor of Gongsun echoed in the dark prison, but no matter how he shouted, Xie Wangzu did not look back, but although Xie Wangzu left, the door of a cell next to him suddenly opened.

Feng Ping came out of it with two men with a smile, motioned his men to go in and pick up the pills that Xie Wangzu threw to Gongsun on the fifth floor, and then said, "Lord Gongsun, can you say it now?"

Gongsun's fifth floor has been locked here since he was caught, but he has never seen anyone passing by. He didn't even know that the next cell was still locked.

Gongsun's fifth floor was stunned, and then a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. Finally, he understood what was going on. When he thought of Xie Wangzu's mechanism, he couldn't help laughing at the sky.

"Haha... After all, you old fox has not escaped the palm of the emperor's hand..."

Soon, Feng Ping appeared in the cabinet hall with the testimony of Gongsun's fifth floor and the pill Xie Wangzu used to silence.

At this time, Wang Zhenvil and Wang Dan have nothing to say.

Lu Qiang did not ask them again. He looked at Yan Yanzhi and said, "Yan Qing is familiar with the law. What do you think should be done with this matter?"

Yan Yanzhi was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Gongsun, Xie, Xie Guozhang, can give him a death"

"Your Majesty"

Before Yan Yan's words fell, Wang Dan rushed to say.

Facing Lu Qiang's cold eyes, Wang Dan said bravely, "At the beginning, your majesty was trapped in Jiangling, and Xie Guozang gave a lot of advice and contributions. Although there is a fault in this matter, he is not guilty to death. Please understand it."

"Are you hiding all the bows and killing donkeys? Or are you reminding me not to forget your credit?"

Lu Qiang is also angry. Now it is not only Xie Wangzu's schemeful problem. Xie Wangzu has something to do, and the three cabinet members actually have two to protect him. What is this? In the long run, they can even control the government.

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, the three cabinet ministers knelt down in horror and said in unison, "I dare not"

"Hmm! Don't dare?"

Lu Qiang stopped talking, got up and strode out.

Three cabinet ministers, look at me, look at you, they know that this time really angered the emperor.

This time, it didn't make people wait for too long. Soon, the decree came out from the inner palace. The Gongsun brothers bullied you and sold the examination questions privately. The crime was unforgivable, and the whole family was beheaded.

Xie Wangzu was the main examiner and failed to take good care of the test questions. He was also one of the culprits of this incident and ordered him to make a decision by himself.

Wang Jian, a deputy examiner, was also demoted from the court and went to the local office due to lack of supervision.

The most unexpected thing is that the two auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, Wang Zhenvil and Wang Dan, were also removed from the cabinet because of Xie Wangzu's plea.

Wang Zhen was reappointed as the governor of Jing and Jiang, and Wang Dan was appointed as the governor of Jiankang and took office immediately.

The two emperor's close ministers were kicked out of the center together, which shows how angry the emperor was about this matter.

In the harem, Xie Wushuang lost his previous arrogance, hugged the child and knelt in front of the queen's palace, begging the queen to let his father live.

Xie Wushuang was very wise. His intuition told her that the emperor must have known something, otherwise he would not have killed his father so cruelly, so he did not directly beg the emperor, but came to ask the king to love.

Wang Shenai is an honest person, and she doesn't understand why her husband must kill Xie Guozhang. Although she does not want to interfere in her husband's government affairs, she still came to find Lu Qiang under Xie Wushuang's painstaking efforts.

That is, Wang Shenai, who would not have seen Lu Qiang. Since the founding of his dynasty, he has never made such a heavy hand to the heroes who followed him.

It can be said that he is very sad to make such a decision, but he can't move. These people who first followed him are proud of their achievements and have gradually formed a small group. If they are allowed to develop, I'm afraid that they will be empty.

When Wang Shenai came, Lu Qiang was standing in front of the window and looking at the flowers and plants in the garden.

Wang Shenai could feel the helplessness and loss in her husband's heart. He came to Lu Qiang and gently held Lu Qiang's hand, but did not speak immediately.

Lu Qiang came to his senses, looked at Wang Shen'ai and said, "Sometimes I often think about how good it would be if the children never grew up."

Wang Shenai couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't understand why her husband suddenly said this. Yanran said, "Isn't it good to grow up? I also hope that the emperor will get a family and career as soon as possible and give us a grandson."

This stupid daughter-in-law has been sold, and I'm afraid she has to help a lot of people.

"The changes of children are mostly influenced by the people around us. I want to create a quiet environment for our children and try not to let them come into contact with those messy things. The crime of thanking the ancestors is not only a violation of the national law, but also that he should not try to participate in our family affairs. You go back and tell me these words. Unparalleled, I believe that with her cleverness, I should understand why her father must die."

Lu Qiang said that although he was determined, Wang Shenai was still a little unyed: "Husband, can't you accommodate it at all?"

After listening to Wang Shenai's words, Lu Qiang's eyebrows suddenly stood up. It was Wang Shenai who spoke. If she were her, I'm afraid she would have been kicked out.

Then he sighed slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked Wang Shen's hair. He said softly, "No matter what you do, it's for our child's future. Don't embarras your husband any more, okay?"

The husband's words have been said to this extent. If Wang Shenai said it again, he would be ignorant, so he answered helplessly and sighed, "What should I do?"

The persuasion was fruitless, and Wang Shenai had to go back.

Looking at his beloved wife's back, Lu Qiang's heart moved slightly, waved to Zhao Yong, and ordered a few words in a low voice. Zhao Yong agreed and quickly walked out.

"Unparalleled, I hope you are not like your father..."

Lu Qiang muttered to himself.

Xie Wangzu's mansion has been surrounded by the Black Panther Corps at this time, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. He also turns a blind eye to Xie Wangzu's request to meet the emperor. Obviously, the emperor will not give him any chance to turn the table.

In fact, when the servant brought the confession of Gongsun's fifth floor with the poison, Xie Wangzu knew that his matter had been revealed for a long time.

The emperor's previous wishes to his officials were just a means to take them and must be given first. It is ridiculous that he is still grateful to the emperor. Now the emperor takes the opportunity to destroy the scientific examination to get rid of himself, and no one can say that the emperor has made contributions.

What a good scheming! Good means!

Although he was suspected of being tempted to assassinate the queen before, didn't he have the idea of letting his grandson take office and revive his glory?

She is self-respectingly smart and peerless, but she didn't expect that she had been played with by the emperor all the time. Now that she is finished, with her daughter's mind, her life will obviously not be better. I just hope that the emperor can look at the sake of the child and not embarrass her too much.

After understanding these, Xie Wangzu wrote a final letter to Lu Qiang, and then took the poison given to Gongsun's fifth floor and committed suicide.

For his daughter, Xie Wangzu tried his best, but he still underestimated his daughter's twisted heart.

After receiving Wang Shenai's apologetic reply, Xie Wushuang no longer begged. He returned to his palace like a soulless body, and then drove everyone out. He stayed in the hall with the child in his arms, neither eating or drinking, and did not know what he wanted to do.

Xie Wushuang's abnormal behavior quickly shocked Lu Qiang and Wang Shenai, and the two immediately led people to Xie Wushuang's palace.

Without saying anything, Lu Qiang directly raised his foot and kicked the door open, but was stunned to find that Xie Wushuang was holding the child in one hand and holding scissors in the other. He didn't know whether to prick himself or the child.

The child had been scared and cried by his mother's abnormal behavior, but Xie Wushuang was still indifferent, sitting there with dull eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

The sound of Lu Qiang kicking the door has shocked Xie Wushuang. He suddenly looked up at Lu Qiang who broke in, and subconsciously put the scissors in his hand on the child's neck.

"What are you doing? Put down the scissors quickly and don't hurt the child"

Lu Qiang stood still in horror.

"Hey... In your eyes, there are only queens and children. What am I? Is it your tool for giving birth to a baby?

Xie Wushuang's spirit has been a little abnormal, and these words that have been in his heart for a long time have finally come out.

Is Lu Qiang in the mood to talk to her about this at this time? His hand quietly gestured to Sun Yao behind, and then slowly leaned towards Xie Wushuang.

Try to soften your voice and say, "Unparalleled, don't make trouble. Give me the child. I have ordered to forgive your father."

This sentence is undoubtedly the most useful.

Xie Wushuang's eyes widened and said, "Really?"

"He's on his way. He's obedient and give me the child first."

Lu Qiang hasn't told a lie for a long time, but for the sake of his son's safety, he didn't hesitate to lie.

It was his good habit that made Xie Wushuang believe it, and it was also under his accumulation of power that Xie Wushuang subconsciously handed over the child.

The opportunity cannot be missed. Lu Qiang reached out and grabbed the child into his arms, and Sun Yao behind him also rushed up and easily grabbed the scissors in Xie Wu's hands.

"You, you lied to me! Give the child back to me..."

After Xie Wushuang understood, he wanted to break free from Sun Yao's embrace.

Lu Qiang turned around and walked away with the crying child in his arms. As he walked, he said to Zhao Yong, "From today on, send someone to serve Xie Guifei, and she can't let her come into contact with the outside."

"You lied to me, you are not a human, you stupid king..."

Xie Wushuang's curse behind him became more and more unpleasant. Lu Qiang's feet paused for a moment and then walked away without looking back. At this moment, the woman, like her father, had dissipated in his heart.
