As the eldest son of the Zhenning Hou Mansion, Chen Heng's wedding ceremony was naturally grand and grand, with almost all the civil and military officials and wealthy businessmen from Kyoto present.
According to the auspicious time, Chen Heng's wedding team circled the city and took Gu Yao from General Gu's Mansion to Zhenninghou Mansion.
Firecrackers went off in unison, making it very lively.
After the bride was sent into the bridal chamber, Chen Heng took off the huge red flowers on her chest, wore a simple red wedding dress and came to the guest room. Together with Marquis Zhenning, he greeted the male guests who came to the banquet.
He was extremely depressed and unhappy, and he took all the drinks offered by almost everyone.
Others only thought that Chen Heng was in a good mood as a newlywed, but Jin Bao followed beside him, anxious. His mind was filled with what Chen Heng had said before, and he was hesitating whether to tell his wife what Chen Heng said in case something happened.
There was supposed to be chaos, but suddenly there were messy footsteps and noises outside.
Chen Heng was drinking a drink handed to him by the Minister of Punishment. The noise outside was so loud that he could clearly hear someone scolding him for being impudent.
Chen Heng frowned and turned his head, looking in the direction of the courtyard door. Then he turned around and saw Xiao Yu, wearing a black robe, coming in from the outside with a cold and scornful look on his face.
Behind him were the Imperial Guards.
His sudden arrival made the noise in the courtyard suddenly quiet. Everyone didn't know why, but they all knew that not long ago, King Huainan and Chen Heng were facing each other at Jinnan Pier.
Now that Chen Heng is getting married, Xiao Yu has come with the imperial army.
This is what to do.
Behind Xiao Yu, the housekeeper of Zhenninghou Mansion chased in angrily. He ran to Zhenninghou and Chen Heng in a few steps. He gasped in a low voice and said, "I can't stop you. King Huainan rushed in with his people. Is this your servant?"
Even if I send someone to deliver the letter in advance, I won’t be able to deliver it in time.”
The Marquis of Zhenning is in his forties this year. He has an elegant face and has lost weight. He is wearing a purple-red auspicious suit embroidered with swastikas. The anger in his eyes is suppressed. With a smile on his face, he approaches Xiao Yu and greets him, "I don't know if the King of Huainan is coming."
, I have missed the opportunity to greet you from afar, the King of Huainan will forgive me."
Xiao Yu sneered, "Have you invited me?"
After saying that, Xiao Yu glanced at the civil and military officials in the banquet, "You know this is the prince's wedding, but if you don't know, all the civil and military officials from the court are here, and they thought it was some kind of palace banquet."
Such treacherous words stung Marquis Zhenning's eyelids.
But today is Chen Heng's happy day. He doesn't want to cause a dispute, so he suppresses his anger and says: "The King of Huainan is joking. I pretend to be a prince and go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. It's because I don't think well. Heng'er
,Quickly, please take your seat, Your Majesty."
Chen Heng was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. When he saw Xiao Yu, his expression became even more unkind.
If Xiao Yu hadn't gone against him at Jinnan Pier, he wouldn't have been so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. If Xiao Yu hadn't gone against him, he wouldn't have known that Su Zimu had a fever.
Xiao Yu also robbed Xu Xing.
With anger in his eyes, Chen Heng crushed the wine glass in his hand.
The cup was broken into pieces, and the wine flowed down his fingers and soaked his robe.
Marquis Zhenning was afraid that Chen Heng and Xiao Yu would cause trouble here, so he quickly gave Jin Bao a wink.
Jin Bao was about to give Chen Heng a push when Xiao Yu raised his hand and said, "That's all. I know myself and I don't have to worry about it. Your Majesty is in charge. I'm here today. One of the things I want to do is to get married to the prince of your house. I will take care of everything I say."
I would like to send you a congratulatory gift!"
Saying that, Xiao Yu raised his hand.
Ping An immediately called to the imperial guards behind him, "Present the gift from the prince!"
The two Forbidden Soldiers came forward carrying a box. The box was about the size of an ordinary clothes trunk. It was unknown what was inside. The two Forbidden Soldiers looked at it and it was extremely laborious. When the box was carried to Chen Heng, it was put down and smashed on the ground.
There was a clunking sound.
All the guests looked at this with bated breath.
The Imperial Guard opened the box.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on the box.
What does the King of Huainan want to give Chen Heng? Is he giving...a box of books?
Only copy?
Ancient books?
Countless probing eyes moved from the box to Xiao Yu's face.
Marquis Zhenning glanced at the books in the box. The ones placed at the top were "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "Young Children's Enlightenment"...
Marquis Zhenning's eyelids twitched wildly twice, swallowing his anger, he smiled.
Xiao Yu didn't wait for the Marquis of Zhenning to speak, and said with a smile on his face but not on his face: "As the saying goes, etiquette is light but affection is important, and as the saying goes, don't reach out to hit someone with a smiling face. I ignored the past grudges and gave the prince a wedding gift.
Since I am giving you gifts and trying to make fun of you, I would like to trouble you Lord Marquis to be accommodating and allow me to take away important criminals from the court."
"The court wants to commit a crime? Why?" Marquis Zhenning frowned and looked at Xiao Yu. He could no longer maintain the smile on his face. If he could no longer see that Xiao Yu was deliberately looking for trouble, his life would have been in vain all these years.
Xiao Yu sneered, "Of course it's the prefect of Zhending, Gu Changhuai."
After a pause, Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Come here, get Gu Changhuai for me!"
"promise!"
The Imperial Guards from behind walked directly towards the guest seats.
Chen Heng stepped forward with a livid face, "Although he is not of high rank, he is also an official who receives the imperial salary. Why does King Huainan arrest him?"
Xiao Yu was waiting for Chen Heng's question.
He stretched lazily and said, "Why? Just because... you are safe."
"exist."
"Show him what I am capable of!"
Xiao Yu's peach blossom eyes were narrowed and looked back at Chen Heng with eyes filled with anger.
Ping An waved, and two more Imperial Guards put the box they were carrying forward. This time, they did not put it in front of Chen Heng, but put it directly to the guests. With a bang, they opened the box.
"ah!"
There was a rotting corpse in the box, which made the guests next to the box scream in excitement and jump to their feet.
He screamed, but later realized that he shouldn't have screamed, and looked at Chen Heng and Zhenning Hou uneasily.
Marquis Zhenning's face had completely darkened, his eyes were blazing with anger, and he looked at Xiao Yu, "What does King Huainan mean?"
Chen Heng's eyebrows suddenly jumped.
Come to think of it.
Yesterday, before he went to the restaurant to meet Su Luo, he was listening to Jin Bao report back to Xiao Yu that he was investigating Wang Changmin's case.
Later, he was interrupted because of Su Luo's affairs, and when he came out of the restaurant, he was full of anger and resentment, so he forgot about the matter. Later, he was called by his mother to talk about today's marriage...
Looking at the corpse in the box now, Chen Heng felt that the hairs on his back stood on end.
Xiao Yu twitched his lips, "What do you mean? It means that Gu Changhuai was derelict in his duties. Wang Changmin, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, encountered gangsters in Wangjia Village. Mr. Wang fought with the gangsters and died, but Mr. Gu, who was in charge of Wangjia Village, decided that he was dead.
Mr. Wang is an unknown businessman.
Mr. Gu is the official of the court? I am thinking, this Mr. Wang Changmin is the official of the imperial court, right?
The person who reported the case made it clear that the person who was killed by the gangsters was Mr. Wang Changmin. What? When you get to Mr. Gu, you changed the case directly with a stroke of your pen?
Oh, by the way, it is said that Mr. Wang committed suicide out of fear of crime at his home in Kyoto. I came in and dug a grave with nothing to do, and dug out Mr. Wang's body.
Come, come, come and see this corpse on this great day."
