[One hundred and forty-one] suffering and persevering
Deng Qing has been in the North for so many years, and he can still do this. He can completely tamper with Liu Jing's files and conceal the real relationship between this person and the household. Jiang Chengyi gritted his teeth and couldn't help but feel upset. When checking the documents, he should be careful here...
He made great preparations, but he missed such an important thing.
It is very likely that Deng Qing had imprisoned Liu Jing's family according to his usual methods. Feng Youru led Changming's army to Hongnong, Deng Qing would definitely tell Feng Youru about this in order to avoid Liu Jing being arrested in the future and things would become out of control.
Jiang Chengyi clenched his fists secretly, feeling a little irritable. After so long, he didn't expect to fall into Deng Qing's plan. No wonder, Liu Jing had almost no struggle after being arrested, so he admitted to the Dongfu Office that everything about Hongnong City was completely prepared for the four-day palace trial.
Deng Qing is indeed the person behind the scenes who have mastered the black market in the capital for many years. He is so scheming that he should not be underestimated.
He followed the eunuch arranged by Liang Yue and slowly moved to Wuying Hall. He walked through the corridor and saw the eaves of the palace. He saw Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing standing on the steps, both with heavy faces. Thirty imperial guards were each guarding each of them, and the front of Wuying Hall was surrounded.
Liang Yue hid his sleeves and stood in the place where the palace and the corridor were connected, stretched his neck and looked around. He saw Jiang Chengyi's figure appearing in the corridor, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
He hurriedly went up to Jiang Chengyi's side, and quickly walked to Jiang Chengyi's side with small steps, and said respectfully: "Jiang Master...you are finally here."
Jiang Chengyi glanced at him and smiled politely at him, "Let Lord Liang wait for a long time."
Liang Yue nodded and said, "I dare not, I should wait here."
Jiang Chengyi stopped talking to him and quietly followed his footsteps to Wuying Palace. He walked to the steps and met Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing. The two ancestors and grandchildren raised their heads at the same time and stared at him with an extremely sinister look, as if they were about to eat him alive.
Jiang Chengyi twitched helplessly, and could only lower his eyes to avoid their sight. Soon, another imperial army arranged by Emperor Wei surrounded him three layers inside and three layers inside. In the blink of an eye, he was submerged in the crowd and could no longer see the two grandparents and grandchildren opposite him.
Seeing that everyone was here, Liang Yue twisted his steps and said politely to the leaders of the imperial guards of each team: "I'm sorry, I must guard this Wuying Palace well, and don't worry Your Majesty anymore."
The three teams of imperial guards were in a straight face, and promised him with a serious expression: "Eunuch Liang is relieved, and we dare not slackew on the orders of Your Majesty, and we will definitely take these three people under strict supervision."
Liang Yue breathed a little relieved, then walked forward and led the three teams of the imperial guards to the backyard of Wuying Hall.
Jiang Chengyi, Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing were respectfully sent to three different wing rooms by the imperial guards and eunuchs, closed the doors and windows and the entrances, and took them into strict supervision.
In Wuying Hall, there were sixty eunuchs summoned by Liang Yue, guarding the passages, exits and entrances of the back hall. The entire side hall was surrounded like a prison and was surrounded by airtight.
Jiang Chengyi still returned to the south chalet where he was unconscious and sleeping all night. What he didn't expect was that Su Yun was still waiting in the room and did not leave. He looked strange and entered the room, bowed to Su Yun slightly and said, "Sir Su... Why are you still here?"
Su Yunyi sat on the right seat of the main hall of the south wing. Seeing Jiang Chengyi pushing the door, he also lifted up his clothes, stood up to greet him, and replied with a tribute from his subordinates: "The emperor is ordered by your Majesty to take care of your body within these four days."
Jiang Chengyi was slightly stunned, and felt a strange and uneasy feeling in his heart. He raised his eyebrows, smiled bitterly between his lips, shook his head helplessly, and then thanked Su Yun: "Thank you, Lord Su, are with you...but, your body should be fine. If you are so detained in this way, you will feel guilty and uneasy in your heart. I will definitely ask Eunuch Liang for advice on Lord Su, asking you to see Your Majesty and avoid the hard work of staying here."
After saying that, Jiang Chengyi turned around and pushed the door open, preparing to summon Liang Yue to explain the matter. Su Yun hurried forward and stopped him: "Jiang Master! Lord Master Si's kindness... The lower official understands. However, since this is what Your Majesty has given, the lower official must do it well.
Besides, although your body looks fine now, if you cannot take care of yourself, it is very likely that you will leave a root of the disease. Your Majesty’s instructions are for your sake, and I hope you will not refute Your Majesty’s face.”
When Su Yun talked about this, he had clearly refused to leave the South End. Jiang Chengyi turned around silently, and his dark and deep eyes slowly fell on the man. He looked at him thoughtfully, and was silent for a moment before smiling and politely said to him: "Since that's the case... I feel wronged that Lord Su is accompanying you."
Su Yun flattered: "It should be."
Jiang Chengyi ignored him, but held the palace wall and slowly walked towards the inner room of the warm cabinet. He actually knew that Su Yun was here, in addition to being ordered to take care of his body, and also played a role in surveillance. Even though there were already thirty imperial guards outside and guarding the south wings without a trace of gap, Emperor Wei was still worried that he would stay in the house alone, for fear that he would do anything else.
He looked at the figure of the imperial guards printed on the window paper; he looked at Su Yun who followed him into the warm pavilion and guarded by his side; he looked at his new and old injuries, and was full of helplessness and lament. At the moment, even if he really wanted to spread news to the outside of the palace, it was absolutely impossible.
At this moment, he could only think about other ways to deal with Liu Jing during the trial of the palace four days later.
On the other hand, Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing, who were under house arrest in the east and north wings of Wuying Hall, were also in a state of confusion at this moment.
Deng Qing knew that Feng Youru was seriously injured and recovered from Deng's house. He must have informed Deng Guozhong about Liu Jing. Therefore, Deng Guozhong asked Emperor Wei to re-examine the Lanxinlou case and Deng Ling's assassination in the suburbs of Jing. But this is enough to prove that Deng Guozhong knew what methods he had prepared to clean up all the evil things he had done.
The reason why Deng Guozhong was following the flow was, one was to save Deng's family from water and fire, the other was to still have a friendship with him, and the third was to test him. What Jiang Chengyi said in the hall just now had shaken Deng Guozhong's heart. Deng Qing knew that his grandfather must have become suspicious.
Deng Qing's original idea was to take advantage of the identity of Liu Jing, the chief general of the third battalion, to clear himself of suspicion after the incident was revealed. Whether it was the Hongnong incident or the interception of bandits in the suburbs of Beijing, Liu Jing was the best scapegoat.
However, the reality was different from what he expected. He had no chance to let Liu Jing admit the Hongnong case first, and he would not have time to lead the clue of Deng Ling's assassination in the suburbs of Beijing to Liu Jing. Things will continue to develop according to this trend. After four days, the palace will be tried, and Liu Jing will definitely follow all the actions arranged before. This person will definitely admit that the Hongnong riot was caused by him, who led the Changming Army's third battalion, and he will insist on intercepting and killing Deng Ling's accidental death was also what he did...
But in this way, even if Deng Guozhong had some trust in Deng Qing before, he would be completely disappointed with Deng Qing after Liu Jing admitted his crime during the trial.
Because Deng Guozhong knew that it was Deng Qing's plan to ask Liu Jing to admit the Hongnong riots to cut off the relationship between the case and the Deng family. Once Liu Jing recognized the case of intercepting Deng Ling in the suburbs of Beijing, Deng Guozhong would inevitably infer the truth behind the incident.
Liu Jing's family is in the hands of Deng Qing, so this person only obeys him. Therefore, Deng Guozhong will definitely think this way: Everything that Liu Jing admitted in the hall must be instructed by Deng Qing. By then, Deng Qing will have nowhere to hide, and can only watch his grandfather confirm his guess and feel completely disappointed at him.
Then, even if Deng Qing can leave the palace alive and return to Deng's family in four days, he will face an unpredictable trial of life and death. Deng Guozhong will never let go of the real murderer who killed Deng Ling easily. Deng Qing knew very well that no matter whether Liu Jingcheng admitted the interception case in the suburbs of Beijing, his second half of his life would be dead. He used his ruthlessness, sinisterness, indifference, and digging a grave for himself.
Deng Qing was standing in the east wing, walking back and forth in the house, nervous. Originally, he would have buried all the clues, and after the incident happened, he would have pushed Liu Jing as a scapegoat, and the matter could be solved perfectly and he could get out of it, but all of this was ruined by Jiang Chengyi.
He had never expected that the speed of the Shuige was so fast that he not only found out the Lanxinlou case, but also found the truth about the interception and killing of the suburbs of Beijing. He could never figure out that he had clearly cleaned up all the traces in the suburbs of Beijing, but why could Jiang Chengyi still find evidence?
Deng Qing gritted his teeth, held his hands tightly, and wandered in the house restlessly. He wondered what kind of ending he would face in four days.
At this moment, Deng Guozhong, who was locked in the north wing room, was full of torture. At this moment, he was extremely conflicted. He was looking forward to Liu Jing telling the truth and letting him confirm his guesses, and hoped that Liu Jing could admit his crime as arranged by Deng Qing.
No matter which one is, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to him. Deng Guozhong never expected that one day he would face such a ridiculous situation. One was his favorite son, and the other was his grandson he had carefully cultivated since childhood. He was obviously a relative of flesh and blood, but he has reached this point now...
Deng Guozhong leaned on the soft couch in the cabinet with weak energy. He felt tired and weak all over, and his chest was palpitations, making his spirits worse.
