Chapter 7
Outside Yuyang City, Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing were loaded into a prison van, ready to be escorted back to the imperial capital.

Seeing that the two were about to be escorted away, the defenders and civilians in Yuyang City sent each other spontaneously, escorting the two generals away silently.

A white-haired old man stopped in front of the prison car, holding a drink with trembling hands and said, "General, please drink a bowl of Yuyang's drink before leaving!"

Since the escorting Imperial Army had all experienced the night when Yuyang City was destroyed, the two men were well aware of their achievements and bravery.

After all, the strong have always been respected. The forbidden army looked at the two and said, "Two generals, if you need anything, just talk. We don't have anything else. We still have a few drinks and food."

Xi Kaijie smiled and said, "This brother is too polite. The future of my uncle and nephew is uncertain. I don't have any other requirements. I just hope that I can have a full meal."

Stopping and stopping along the way, he arrived at the imperial capital a few days later.The prison cart entered the imperial capital, and the surrounding people followed the prison cart to watch and discuss.

"Brother, do you know who these two people are inside?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard anything recently."

"Hey! You don't know that, these two are Yuyang's guards, probably because of Yuyang's battle, they were escorted back."

After entering the imperial capital, the two were directly thrown into prison.

The dark cell was somewhat damp, and Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing sat side by side on the haystack.

"Boy from the Yu family, I'm the one who killed you this time! If you had left Yuyang back then, you probably wouldn't have to suffer from this prison!"

Xi Kaijie blamed herself immensely, and Yu Qing comforted him, "Uncle Xi, I'm not afraid! Didn't you say that the crime does not entail death."

"When this matter is over, let's find a place to start a small business, and be a rich man safely!"

Hearing what Yu Qing said, Xi Kaijie dissuaded him, "You are young and not motivated. You are good at martial arts, so why don't you make contributions?"

"Uncle Xi, it's not that you don't know my dream. The leisurely life of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence is what I want in my heart." Yu Qing said triumphantly.

"As a general, if you guard the border with all your blood, your life will not be in vain!" Xi Kaijie still did not give up persuading.

"well said!"

At the corner, a group of people filed in, led by a middle-aged man.Although he is dressed in casual clothes, his noble temperament bursts out.

The visitor looked at Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing carefully, and said, "It's a good life, the generals of the Great Xia are like this, the frontier must be stable, and the young people dare not offend Tianwei!"

Xi Kaijie was also looking at the visitor carefully, and suddenly pulled Yu Qing to his knees, "The criminal Xi Kaijie is here to see your majesty!"

His Majesty?This guy is the emperor of Daxia. Thinking of this, Yu Qing looked up.

At this moment, the emperor was also looking at Yu Qing, and the two looked at each other.Yu Qing, who has been in the modern age for a long time, has no idea of ​​the supremacy of imperial power, and his eyes do not avoid it in the slightest.

After a while, the emperor laughed and said, "This young general is interesting, he deserves to beat Helian Zhonglin!"

At this time, Xi Kaijie realized that Yu Qing had been looking at His Majesty all the time and quickly pressed his head and said, "Your Majesty, my nephew is young and ignorant. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Your Majesty! My nephew was entrusted to me by an old friend, and he is not in the army." Xi Kaijie said in fear, "I implore Your Majesty to let him go, the criminal is willing to bear all the crimes."

After Xi Kaijie's words fell, the emperor sighed and said, "Okay! I think you two have contributed a lot to Daxia, and if your merits and demerits are equal, you will be rewarded with another mansion."

Xi Kaijie was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly pulled Yu Qing to kowtow to thank him.

Emperor Daxia smiled and left the prison.This feeling of being able to control the life and death of others made him very comfortable.

The jailer opened the cell door immediately, and the two thanked them and left the prison.

Outside the prison, a soldier of the Imperial Army was waiting.Seeing the two coming out, he hurriedly handed over the things in his hand, "My lords, these are the clothes given to you by our imperial army."

After changing their clothes, they followed the imperial army towards the mansion of the imperial capital.

As we walked, it became more and more deserted, it seemed to be the edge of the imperial capital, and there were no people there.The Imperial Guard soldier pointed to the mansion in front of him and said, "This is the place. No one has lived in it for a long time. The two adults can move in after tidying up."

Xi Kaijie cupped his hands and said, "Brother, you have worked hard, the mess inside is finished, and the brothers from the imperial army want to have a glass of wine."

Watching people leave, Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing looked at the mansion in front of them.

The gate was covered in dust and cobwebs.Although everything looks old, it is also full of dilapidated environment.

Yu Qing jumped and grabbed the plaque on the door and said, "Uncle Xi, this belongs to us, it should be renamed Xi Mansion."

Xi Kaijie shook his head helplessly, and the two strode in through the gate.

Walking into the yard, the two were surprised.There are all kinds of pavilions, towers and pavilions here, and there are a few towering trees in the yard, but they have not been cleaned for a long time, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves.

After working hard all day, I finally sorted it out.The two of them had been tense since the destruction of Yuyang City. Now they were relaxed about saving their lives, so they simply ate something, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xi Kaijie got up early to clean up the yard.

While cleaning up, Xi Kaijie found that a rockery stone had fallen down in the corner of the yard, so he called Yu Qing and they worked together to erect the stone.

Looking under the stone, both Yu Qing and Xi Kaijie frowned involuntarily, there seemed to be a corpse under the stone!
Yu Qing dug open the floating soil, and there were several corpses under the stone, "Uncle Xi, is he going to report to the police?"

"Okay! Go to the police immediately."

Not long after, a head catcher followed Yu Qing back with a group of yamen servants.

After inspecting the bones, a man with average workmanship recorded and said, "The three of them are all men, and they are all young adults aged [-] or [-]. They should have been strangled to death."

After hearing Wu Zuo's words, the catcher said to Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing, "You two, please follow me back to the Yamen to find the county magistrate."

Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing looked at each other, they had to go if they didn't want to go, since they had to go to the yamen even if the bones were dug up from their own house.

One of the yamen servants went back to report the letter first, and Xi Kaijie and the other yamen servants took the bones and walked to the county government.

After the notification, a middle-aged man entered the county government office and walked towards them with a gloomy expression. He glanced at the two of them and said sharply, "Come on, bring these two murderers to me!"

After the words fell, a group of Yamen servants with big knives appeared on both sides and surrounded them.

Xi Kaijie and Yu Qing looked at each other, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.This is a blatant framing, as long as you check, you will know that the two of them just moved into that mansion yesterday.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, as if a war was about to break out.
