As for the sneak attack on Ma Rui, Chu Qing is really not to blame.
First of all, there is the fat man Hong Gaozhi. The Li family arranged for him to be put in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison. Zhang Yun can come in and out at will, and the jailer can also extort confessions by words and deeds, which is enough to explain something.
Then let's talk about him. The two jailers wanted to frame him, and they framed him unscrupulously and without any scruples.
The most important thing is that it is Tao Yao. Chu Qing knows what kind of relationship he has with Lao Tao. He knows it very well.
Tao Yao said that he and he had been friends for many years. He also said that he was talented in literature and treated him like his own son. Isn't this a joke? Because of the incident in the palace, the old man almost died in his hands. If he didn't call himself a boaster, he would kill a thousand people.
Children are fine.
In short, Chu Qing did not believe a single punctuation mark of what Ma Rui said due to various circumstances and reasons.
Seeing a group of government officials coming and knocking on the door, Chu Qing opened the cell without saying a word, pulled out Jia Yi who had woken up and was tightly tied up, and slapped him on the face with his forehand and backhand.
Chu Qing didn't know where he found a short knife, put it against Jia Yi's neck, and shouted outside: "I don't believe a word of what the governor of Jingzhao Mansion said, and I don't need proof."
What are you showing them, but you, you soldiers and government officials, listen up, this is the guy who framed me, the bamboo slip is in my arms, it was written by him in his own hand, and he wants to silence me!"
After a pause, Chu Qing sneered again and again: "If I die today, if you still have a conscience, spread the word about this matter. Everyone who spreads it will know that I, Chu Qing, the son of a minister in the Ministry of Works, am
He died unjustly, died unjustly in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and this matter has nothing to do with my father. It was the Li family who wanted to frame me and colluded with the governor of Jingzhao Mansion to frame me!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Qing kicked Jia down, and then brought out the other two government officials, shouting: "Whoever dares to approach the prison door again, within ten steps of the prison, I will kill them."
!”
Ma Rui's eyes were about to burst: "How dare you!"
"See if I dare."
Just as Ma Rui was about to speak, a civil servant came over and whispered: "Sir, I'm sorry, Sir Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is here, saying, saying..."
"say what."
"Say that Chu Qing is injured to the last hair and will kill you!"
Ma Rui: “…”
After scolding his mother, Ma Rui could only ask the soldiers and government officials to retreat, and then hurried back to the main hall.
In the main hall, Tao Yao was confused, looking at the furious Wei Changfeng with questions in his head.
He couldn't understand why Chu Qing was a dandy, so why did Wei Changfeng attract him?
Wei Changfeng was able to come because Qiu Wanshan ran back to report the news.
Hubu was not far from Jingzhao Mansion. After Wei Changfeng heard about it, he rode a fast horse and came directly, fearing that something might happen to Chu Qing.
Wei Changfeng felt extremely guilty.
He had already thought that the Li family would take action against Chu Qing, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Others were respectful to Tao Yao, but Lao Wei didn't care about it.
First of all, they are about the same age, and secondly, when Lao Wei was an official, Tao Yao was still farming in his hometown, and Lao Wei's qualifications were much higher than Tao Yao's.
Furthermore, Wei Changfeng was particularly displeased with the Tao family.
He felt that it was the Tao family that caused Chu Qing to be imprisoned. He even suspected that Tao Shaozhang was unable to compete with the Li family and was directly thrown out to Chu Qing as a scapegoat.
As soon as he entered the door, Wei Changfeng didn't even show any courtesy. He glanced at the father and son and snorted coldly.
In the main hall, Lao Wei was pacing back and forth with veins popping out on his forehead.
Ma Rui ran in covered in sweat, out of breath: "Master Wei, Master Wei, why are you here..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Changfeng walked up to Ma Rui and grabbed Ma Rui's front with his strong and strong hands.
"Ma Rui, are you the Li family's dog?"
Ma Rui's expression changed drastically: "Why does Mr. Wei ask this question?"
"If not, why are you imprisoning Chu Qing!"
"he…"
"What the hell?" Wei Changfeng let go of Ma Rui: "Let me go!"
Ma Rui had often interacted with Wei Changfeng, and this was the first time he saw the old man with such a bad temper. He quickly said: "Sir, we can't let him go. We can't let him go now. Chu Qing has robbed the prison.
"
Wei Changfeng was confused: "What, Chu Qing, a weak scholar, could actually hijack a prison?"
Ma Rui said nothing and pointed at his swollen eye sockets. Facts speak louder than words.
"Sir, this is what he hit!"
Ma Rui is not angry even if this matter is not mentioned, but he wants to scold her whenever he mentions it.
Tao Yao said that this guy is a well-educated young scholar. You said he was a weak scholar. Then, you asked me to look at the bamboo slips. He didn't see a single word on the bamboo slips. He punched him with one punch. The speed of the shot and the precise timing.
That extremely deceptive expression, this is a habitual offender!
Wei Changfeng looked at the dark blue eyes on Ma Rui's face and looked suspicious: "You couldn't have hit it yourself, right?"
Ma Rui: “…”
Tao Yao, who was watching the excitement from the side, nodded slightly.
The old man was not surprised at all. He felt that according to Chu Qing's virtue, he could do such a thing.
"Old man, let me go. I was ready to let him go just now, but who would have thought that something like this happened and I can't let him go. You can't let me go even if you beat me up. You've hijacked the Jingzhao Mansion Prison and it's never happened before. Don't tell me that you
Come, no one can come, unless the emperor comes in person, otherwise this person, I..."
The civil servant ran in for the nth time: "Sir, Grand Duke Sun An, the Superintendent of Internal Affairs, is here with the imperial edict!"
Ma Rui turned his head: "Who?"
"Eunuch, Eunuch Sun, Grand Duke Sun An, are outside."
Ma Ruisa ran away, leaving Wei Changfeng and Tao's father and son looking at each other.
Outside Jingzhao Mansion, Sun An's brows were furrowed as if for something.
Just now, he was originally going to Chu Mansion to read out the imperial edict, but before he arrived at Chu Mansion, the Qianqi Camp in the city found him and said that something happened in Jingzhao Mansion. Tao Shaozhang went to report to the official, and then Li Lin also went.
In the end, a person was caught and killed, named Chu Qing.
After Sun An heard this, he went straight to Jingzhao Mansion.
After Ma Rui ran out, he saw Sun An and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Ma Rui, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, has received the imperial edict."
Sun An looked disgusted.
Would you rather pick up your mother's legs?
"Master Ma, our family is not here to look for you. This imperial edict was announced to Chu Qing. Where are the others?"
"Looking for Chu Qing again?"
Ma Rui's mouth was grinning widely, and his mind was blank.
First the right minister of Hubu, then the prince's young master, then the minister of Hubu came in person. Now, even Sun An, the emperor's closest servant, is here, carrying the imperial edict.
At this moment, Ma Rui finally understood.
No wonder this kid dared to hijack a prison and punch himself.
After a second thought, Ma Rui was no longer angry.
He suddenly felt that Chu Qing was a pretty good person. He just punched him. If he had such a background, he would have stabbed himself twice and then ordered it to Jingzhao Mansion without fear.
"Why are you standing there in such a daze? Why don't you take our family to see Mr. Chu quickly?"
"Yes, I will take you to the prison right now."
"Our family has not yet asked why Chu Qing was imprisoned."
Ma Rui broke out in a cold sweat instantly: "It's...it's because I hit someone."
Sun An's face was as dark as water: "Just because he beat someone, he was locked up?"
Taking a sneak look at Sun An's face, Ma Rui said cautiously: "It's also because it involves a human life lawsuit."
"Human life lawsuit?!" Sun An's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Yes, that's true."
"Killed?"
"For now..."
Sun An asked again: "How many people were killed?"
"Maybe, maybe there are two people, one is called Zhou Hu, the other is called Shou..."
Sun An felt relieved: "Only two people?"
Ma Rui: “…”
Just... two people, their relationship is too much to kill?
