Chapter 294 Accident
Ren Qiu's case was making a lot of noise in Chang'an. At that time, although the king of Qi was still in the vassal land, Princess Yang and Princess Changyang were in the palace. In order to prevent accidents, Meng Guangyi had been hiding Ren Qiu strictly before the interrogation. Later, Fengchun sent Shu Yaoniang, the dancer who was only under Luo Baonu, to make up for the king of Qi. Compensation, instruction of Meng Guangyi to impose a heavy sentence is also equivalent to the royal public denial of Ren Qiu's bloodline. This matter was discussed in the court. As a result, even if Princess Yang was distressed for this ill-believable eldest grandson, she knew that the general trend had gone, so she had to secretly gritted her teeth and anger Princess Qi.
Therefore, Ren Qiu now does not need to deliberately guard, but is locked in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.
Jingzhaofu prison has always been simple to advance in seven years. Originally, Chang'an is full of honor and nobles, and high-quality is everywhere. Jingzhaoyin is a graded or a senior official, but it is not enough to see it in Chang'an. Meng Guangyi's first few subordinates are both angry masters, and people with a little status come here to lead people. You don't even have to use silver.
When Meng Guangyi arrived, he treated the place with strict security. Even Huo Wei still easily found the opportunity to accompany Yuanxiu.
Although the prison in Jingzhao Mansion was dark and clean, the prisoners inside thought that they knew Meng Guangyi's personality and means, and there was no reaction when they heard the voice. Huo Wei took Yuanxiu all the way to a very deep place before he saw a separate cell with better furnishings than the side, and a low bed in the corner. As a bedding, a person shrinks into a group and falls on the couch with his back to the door.
The jailer who led the way pointed to the people inside and whispered, "That's Ren Jialangjun."
"Maybe we can go in and talk?" Yuan Xiu looked at Huo Wei, and Huo Wei asked in a low voice.
The jailer kindly reminded: "It's not impossible. This one is going to be beheaded by the court. Now there is not much time. Even Meng Yin also allowed him to live a better life, but the reason why he asked beheading must be clear that this little lady..."
Although Yuanxiu deliberately changed a set of clothes, wearing a cap on her head and covering her face, wearing a new lilac summer shirt, with silver silk double carp playing lotus flowers at the bottom of her teeth, and underneath is the green skirt often worn by girls in the world, but her dress is exquisite no matter how old it is, and Huo Wei has been connected before. The joints also revealed their identity slightly. The jailers naturally knew that their identities were extraordinary. The reason why Ren Qiu asked was to kill people. Now it seems that Yuan Xiu is young and Huo Wei is old. If he goes in like this, who knows if something will happen?
Hearing what the jailer said, Huo Wei also had a little drumming in his heart and looked at Yuan Xiu and asked, "Madam?"
"Let Yu Wenrong come in and go in together." Yuan Xiu thought for a moment.
Huo Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Wenrong is good at fisting and feet, and he is young and strong. With him, I forgive Ren Qiu's blow. Even if he has a heart, he can't hurt Yuan Xiu.
Yu Wenrong was originally waiting outside. He was called in to listen to Huo Wei's words and explained the situation. He was secretly happy and said, "I will try my best to protect my wife."
When the jailer saw that he was accompanied by Yu Wenrong, he was released. He took the key from his waist and opened the prison door, asked them to go in and told him, "Meng Yin is afraid he will return to the government in two hours. Please remember some time."
"It's hard work." Huo Wei nodded and handed a purse. The jailer picked it up with a smile. When they entered, he locked the door again.
The sound of the opening and closing of the prison door naturally shocked the people sleeping in the room. Ren Qiu slowly turned his head. Because the room was dark and difficult to distinguish, Yuan Xiu took two steps and almost tripped over the things under his feet. In shock, he subconsciously lifted the veil on the hat to see clearly. Behind him, Yu Wenrong noticed her inconvenience and did not wait. He took the candlelight from the side and lit three in a row, which clearly showed Ren Qiu's appearance.
weak.
This is Yuan Xiu's impression when he first saw his unrecognized nephew. Ren Qiu is also 16 years old, and I don't know whether it is because he is too young to linger, or because he is naturally weak. He looks far thinner and pale than his age, and his muscles and bones even show some dry. Some He looked at Yuan Xiu blankly: "Who are you?"
Although Yuanxiu and his party wore regular clothes, they could see who was in charge. Yu Wenrong lit the lamp, and Huo Wei wiped the only stool in the cell with his sleeve. Yuan Xiu sat down, frowned and looked at Ren Qiu for a long time before saying lightly, "You don't care who I am. I just want to come here to ask you a few things."
Ren Qiu looked at her suspiciously and asked coldly, "Are you one of my aunts?"
Yuanxiu was stunned by his question, but he didn't expect Ren Qiu to look thin and pale, but his reaction was not slow at all. Seeing her look, Ren Qiu had nodded: "Sure enough, which aunt are you? It shouldn't be the seventh aunt, right?"
"Why not?" Yuan Xiu meditated and asked rhetorical.
"I heard that the seventh aunt is beautiful, but she has declined to open the house, and you are still unmarried." Ren Qiu glanced at the black shave on her head and said calmly, "So you should be my ninth aunt with the same beautiful name, right?"
Yuanxiu frowned and was silent for a moment, and Fang said lightly, "The title of this palace is Yuanxiu, which is indeed the ninth among the women of the former emperors, but it is not the title of aunt." The royal family has never recognized Ren Qiu's identity, and Ren Qiu's surname is not Li now. Although she is a well-known person in the cell except Huo Wei and Yu Wenrong, she still can't recognize him.
Moreover, Ren Qiu was born before the marriage of the king of Qi. He was originally an illegitimate son who was not recognized by the patriarchal law. Not to mention that Princess Qi had a legitimate son. Even if she did not, according to the clan system, Ren Qiu could not enter the Li family. Under normal circumstances, if the king of Qi had no heirs, he would also choose the right person from the clan to succeed. I can pick up Ren Qiu.
His identity is worse than that of the outside room.
Now that the king of Qi is weak and Princess Qi has her own parents and children, how can she agree to let him recognize his ancestors?
Ren Qiu obviously understood this. He did not argue or get angry, but said lightly, "A Niang always said so when she mentioned it. I gradually got used to calling it that, but I didn't want to make a mistake and offend your Lord. Please forgive me."
"I saw that you were thin and weak, and I heard that you often went to the Myshen Pavilion to meet that woman half a year ago. For this, you even lost your body, which made your mother worried, and the mother and son quarreled about it." Yuan Xiu didn't want to say much and asked himself, "When Meng Guangyi went to the palace to see the saint at that time, the palace happened to be on the Zichen Hall. After listening to what he said, the woman's death was extremely miserable, but I really don't look like you can do such things now."
Even if it is a courtier, he will also accuse the princess of being virtuous and bullying others too much!
Yuan Xiu waved his hand to signal Yu Wenrong's silence and looked at Ren Qiu and said, "What you said is also right, but when I first came in, you didn't have any objection. Although it is difficult to escape the execution, I still have some thoughts in my heart. If you have any plans, I can do it, you can also listen to it."
Ren Qiu sneered and said, "If I want to reverse the case, can't you do it?"
"Meng Guangyi is a person who has a headache even today. You look too highly of this palace." Yuan Xiu was not provoked by him and said indifferently, "In addition, you also admitted that Ying Niang was killed by you. The so-called killing is natural, and I don't want to interfere with Meng Guangyi's responsibility."
"That's true, but what if there is a reason to kill?" Ren Qiu pondered for a moment and then said again, "For example, there is also a rule in the Tang Dynasty that if there are robbers blocking the road. Rob, the pedestrian defended himself with a sword, killed him, took the body to the nearby government, and confirmed the identity of the bandit. He not only did not need to be punished, but even rewarded, didn't he?
Yuanxiu was really surprised this time. Unexpectedly, Ren Qiu even saw Meng Tang Lv. She frowned. Ren Qiu's biological mother, Ren Shi, was originally the widow of the Luo beauty family, the mother of King Qiong. The Luo family also had many people when it was the founding of the country, but when Wu Zhou usurped Tang Dynasty, she was made arrogance by Wu Zhou because she was loyal to Li Shi. The outstanding children in the killing clan were later restored. Although they comforted the Luo family, their vitality was greatly damaged. After that, it was difficult for talents to appear, and they gradually declined. By the time of Xianzong, they had completely become ordinary rich.
Therefore, Ren's original husband was just an ordinary person. Normally, Ren's origin was obviously not high, so when he listened to Meng Guangyi's report on the Zichen Hall, he felt that an ordinary woman was like the identity of an outer room, without a strict father, and it was not surprising that a dung be taught. Now think about it, although the king of Qi fell in love with her first, no matter how weak the king of Qi is and not liked by Emperor Xianzong, he is also a prince, and there will be many be beauties around him. A widow of the Ren family not only gave birth to Ren Qiu, but also can make the king of Qi resist the anger of Emperor Xianzong and the dissatisfaction of Princess Qi over the years. The mother and son arranged in their own courtyard and took care of them. If they hadn't been distracted, I'm afraid that no matter how reluctant the king of Qi was, he would have been cut off by the princess Qi - after all, the king of Qi is not without a legitimate son!
What's more, Changsun Mingjing is definitely not a soft-hearted master. Over the years, it has been difficult to enter a beautiful concubine in the palace of the King of Qi. If it weren't for Fengchun, it would not be so easy to enter the door! So far, the royal palace of Qi has only one son of Lizhao, not even a county magistrate! Ren Qiu, the tacit illegitimate son of the royal family, actually lived until now. Yuan Xiu turned his mind a few times and said, "I don't know why you killed Ying Niang?"
