C497 Mr Qiu's Arrangement
C497 Mr Qiu's Arrangement
On the other side, Xiao Wansheng was in trouble.
He found a group of people and searched the files crazily. However, he only found out that the architect's surname was Zhang. At that time, the Zhang family was very famous in the capital. It was said that they had a good relationship with some influential people.
It was just a few simple words in the records, but there was nothing else.
"Because of Situ's case, we have committed treason."
Xiao Wansheng deliberated for a while.
Then there was a look of pain on his face.
Good fellow.
It was not easy for his nephew to request something from him.
In the end, he could not do it at all. This made him feel a little depressed.
"Lord Xiao, with the words' crime and rebellion ', I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
"Sigh..."
"Previously, according to the law, this crime is to escort the entire family to the execution ground. At that time, will there still be a reason for them to survive?"
"Not a single one left?"
"It's not like there isn't a single one left, four years old and below."
"Below four years old? Even if you don't kill them, without the care of your family, can you still live?"
"This... I'm afraid I won't be able to. I heard that there will always be families starving to death. I might as well go to the execution ground and die with my family. When the time comes, I'll have a companion on the road to Huang Quan, right?"
"Sigh..."
Xiao Wansheng let out a long sigh.
In this way, the hope was really slim.
After that, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then go and investigate. If there is a glimmer of hope, we have to grasp it!"
"Alright... Yes, Lord Xiao, but there is one thing that I do not understand."
"Speak."
"Why did Lord Xiao suddenly become concerned about that Zhang family? That was a family that had disappeared for many years."
Xiao Wansheng explained, "How am I concerned about the Zhang family? I am concerned about their family's craftsmanship! You know, our little ancestor likes to drum up some strange things. Recently, I don't know where I heard that the buildings in Moonlight Tavern were very good. He wanted to find a construction family and see if there were any skills left behind. I want them to build something. "
"Is that so?"
When the subordinate heard that it was something Xiao Yun wanted to do, he immediately became alert.
As soon as he left, he ran over to Shangguan and told him about this matter. Shangguan also became anxious, calling out all the people who were free to investigate together!
Xiao Wansheng wanted to know a piece of news, and compared to what Xiao Yun wanted to know, the difference between this and what he wanted to know was simply too great!
The former needed to be done with great effort.
The latter needed to work hard!
Thus, the entire Cabinet started to move.
It even involved other departments. They did not know what was going on either. Anyway, they knew that if this matter was not handled properly, they would lose their heads!
Not to mention the official body, even their own lives were in danger!
However, just as everyone was getting busy.
His Majesty was holding a court assembly!
It was neither a day nor a festival.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a court assembly in the next half month.
Furthermore, His Majesty didn't give him much time to prepare.
Just half a day.
Some of the people who had just left the capital to do business had to be quickly recovered.
Everyone was confused.
The first thing everyone wanted to ask when they saw each other was, "What's going on? What happened?"
Almost instantly, the entire city was filled with a tense atmosphere.
However, among these people, there were some who knew the news.
Their expressions were rather strange.
They had a mysterious smile on their faces, and they were even proud of themselves for being the first to receive the news.
Because even if it was only half a day, they would be able to do a lot of things.
For example...
Gifts!
The capital was filled with a strange atmosphere. Prime Minister Qiu felt that something was not right.
He immediately thought of a possibility.
He was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
He told the servant to prepare a low-profile carriage and to bring all kinds of gold and silver along.
He held the carriage that was specially designed for his family, which was embedded with the family engravings. He did not sit in the carriage, but there was money and food inside. There were two experts of the martial arts world that the Qiu family had raised for many years in the carriage.
After that, he set off and headed straight for the Xiao family.
On the way, Prime Minister Qiu called the two people of the martial arts world to his side.
He stared at them with a heavy gaze.
"Elder Qiu, what happened? If it wasn't a matter of great importance, you wouldn't have called us. "
The two people from the Jianghu also had solemn expressions.
Prime Minister Qiu had always agreed to their requests, and he had always been respectful towards them. He would give them money to spend, but he would not control it. He would just let them walk around freely. Even if they went out for a few months, or even three or five years, they would still be fine. They will even take good care of their families.
To the two of them, Prime Minister Qiu was like a new parent.
However, from beginning to end, Prime Minister Qiu had never asked them to do anything.
They also understood.
He was the last knife by Prime Minister Qiu's side.
If the world was about to fall, they would shoulder the heavy responsibility of making the entire world their enemy and protecting the bloodline of the Qiu family.
This was a form of consideration and a trade. This was also a rule.
Warriors died for those who knew themselves. It had been like this since ancient times.
Prime Minister Qiu said, "I have a young friend who has performed a great service. I know that there will be problems with him one day. There will always be a time when His Majesty cannot tolerate him, but I never thought... that he will come so quickly! I have already saved enough money for him. The two of you will be responsible for protecting him. Try to take the hidden route as much as possible. This carriage is specially used by my family. The decorative design was bestowed by the previous emperor. No one dares to stop him when he leaves the city. However, I can only guarantee that you'll be able to leave the city within a day. So, you must leave the city as soon as possible. You must not delay any longer..."
After saying that, Prime Minister Qiu sighed.
"After doing this, all of you will become enemies with the entire world. At that time, anyone you see will be your enemy. I have been homeless for my entire life, and I have no place to live. The only thing I can do is... It's to protect your family..."
The two of them immediately cupped their hands and interrupted Prime Minister Qiu's words.
"This is enough!"
Prime Minister Qiu suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything, and only sighed.
He should have said this earlier.
But it couldn't be done.
He was worried that there would be ears on the other side of the wall.
And this matter had to be done extremely quickly.
Furthermore... the promise he made might not be able to be fulfilled.
His Majesty should know very soon that he let Xiao Yun go.
At that time, not to mention the official body, his entire family would probably be sent to the execution ground.
"Is it worth it?"
An elder among the two experts couldn't help but ask.
Prime Minister Qiu was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled bitterly.
He shook his head.
"Of course it's not worth it."
The old man was confused: "Then why did you do that?"
"Because it should be"
Prime Minister Qiu sighed and said, "In this world, it's not worth it, but there are too many things that I have to do. I only chose one of them. I have been cautious for my entire life, perhaps it is because I want to do this... "
He shook his head again and stood up on the carriage with great effort. He bowed and cupped his hands. "If that's the case, I will leave it to you two."
The two of them did not avoid it and gladly accepted Prime Minister Qiu's bow.
With this, their lives would be handed over!
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the Xiao family.
Prime Minister Qiu jumped off the carriage and almost fell to the ground.
He reached out his hand and pushed away two servants of the Xiao family who were about to help him up.
He immediately shouted, "Hurry up and do it!"
The two experts nodded their heads heavily.
They suddenly rushed in through the door.
This time, the servants of the Xiao family were dumbfounded.
This is... What's wrong?!
Prime Minister Qiu and the young master had such a good relationship, what was going on? Since when did they have a grudge? They had come to seek revenge?
He could not care less and shouted, "The Qiu family is here!"
His voice was extremely loud.
The entire Xiao family was shaken.
Badao had learned his lesson this time.
Ever since the incident at home, this guy had realized that although Xiao Yun didn't scold him, he really couldn't raise his head in the Xiao family.
Even the young maid would spit on him if she saw him from afar.
Those who were close to him would run away and spit on him again.
It made him feel like he didn't want to live for a period of time.
Now, he heard the shouts in front of him.
This guy didn't even care about his upper body being naked. He directly pulled out his saber and rushed out.
"Who?! Who is it? "
No one knew what he was asking.
The servant who passed by saw the message and shook his head regretfully.
"Sigh, this guy is crazy again. He is the first assassin in Qin Country? Pooh!"
Then, he ran away as fast as he could.
