After the powerful minister was reborn, he married the delicate girl back home
Chapter 116 The truth back then
The massive confiscation of Cui's family lasted for three days and three nights in the capital. I heard that the gold, silver, porcelain and agate moved out from the Cui family ended up filling several warehouses, and anyone who saw it would spit or curse. : "Corrupt official!"
Cui Yutao in prison knew that he had no way out, and his heart was filled with despair. However, the night before he was beheaded, he suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "I want to see the Holy One, the Holy One..."
"No, I want to see Xiao Ziqi. Where is Xiao Ziqi? I have what he wants to know most!"
He shouted that he wanted to see the Holy One and Xiao Ziqi at the same time. He looked crazy and made noisy for half the night. The jailer had no choice but to invite Xiao Ziqi to come.
Xiao Ziqi arrived very quickly, wearing a dark satin robe with a hollow hibiscus border exposed inside the robe. It made him look tough and distinguished, and he seemed particularly out of place in the smelly and messy environment around him.
Seeing someone coming, Cui Yutao hurriedly straightened his temples and appearance, and asked with a smile: "Is it Xiao Ziqi? Is it the Hussars General?"
As if he didn't expect that he could still laugh at this moment, Xiao Ziqi frowned slightly and said in a very cold tone: "It's me, Cui Yutao, what are you planning? The Xiao family and the Cui family have nothing to do with each other."
If he hadn't thought that Cui Yutao might have something he hadn't confessed, he wouldn't have come!
As if he didn't notice his impatience, Cui Yutao still smiled, but deliberately lowered his voice:
"General Hussar, I have the power, my Yue family has money, and you have soldiers. Why don't we join forces to overthrow the Zhou family? Then the country will be divided into three families. Cui, Xiao, and Chen will each be kings of one side and enjoy the worship of all people. Wouldn't it be wonderful? ?”
The more Cui Yutao talked, the crazier he became. He opened his arms and the ambition between his brows could no longer be hidden.
These words made Xiao Ziqi laugh, "Cui Yutao, you are just a prisoner now, and you actually want to shake the country and the country. There is really no cure!"
"As long as you want, General, as long as you want, you have soldiers, we just need to rise up and seize this country..."
"absurd!"
Xiao Ziqi was so angry at his words that he threw away his sleeves and sternly rebuked: "I will never do such a treasonous thing. The Xiao family's ancestral motto is that in this life, you will only be loyal to the Holy One and to the Zhou family. Don't talk nonsense anymore, hum!"
After saying that, he was leaving. In his eyes, Cui Yutao was crazy now, and staying here was a waste of time.
The person behind him shouted again: "Princess Roujia!"
Hearing these four words, Xiao Ziqi's steps stopped, and Cui Yutao was a little proud, as expected.
"General, don't you want Princess Roujia?"
"As long as you want to overthrow this country, let alone Princess Roujia, all the beauties in the world..."
Before he could finish his words, his neck suddenly tightened, and then he felt like he could hardly breathe, his face turned red from holding back, and he struggled violently and uncomfortably.
Xiao Ziqi let go of his hand and said, "Cui Yutao, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut out your tongue first, and then behead you at noon tomorrow. You will be a headless mute ghost after death. What do you think?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Cui Yutao coughed a few times and silently moved away from him on his hands and knees. Knowing that it was hopeless to encourage him to rebel, he thought for a moment and said slowly: "I can tell you what happened back then."
"what's up?"
"Princess Roujia has been seriously ill for a year. After she recovers, she will go to the temple to clean up her health. She refuses to marry you."
Hearing people mention these past events again, Xiao Ziqi's eyes became even sharper, as if he was about to poke a hole in Cui Yutao on the ground like a knife, "Do you know the consequences of deceiving me? I can chop off your head right now!"
After speaking, he drew out the sword on his side and pointed it directly in Cui Yutao's direction.
The sword light dazzled the eyes. Cui Yutao was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be calm, "I can tell you, but you have to do me a favor."
"You won't survive."
"Then, let my daughter live."
"Yes!" Anyway, the Chen family has already secured Cui Chuochuan, so it's not a bad idea to agree to him, Xiao Ziqi thought to himself.
Seeing that he agreed, Cui Yutao breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly told everything he knew.
It turned out that when the new emperor first came to the throne, he only wanted to marry the daughter of King Wu of Jiangdu as his queen. The Queen Mother was happy to see this happen and sent an escort to Jiangdu to secretly pick up the bride. The leader was Princess Roujia.
……
Just as he finished speaking, the sharp sword blades pierced his hands one after another, and the pain hit him. He screamed miserably, his pupils full of fear and shock, "Xiao Ziqi, I have told you everything, why are you doing this to me?" I?"
"Why? Oh, you still have the nerve to ask me why?"
"If it weren't for you, how could she have suffered so much? How could I have been separated from him for so many years? Cui Yutao, a mere beheading cannot atone for your sin!"
"Someone, cut out his tongue to prevent him from talking nonsense later."
"I'm going to the palace to petition the Holy One to have him executed in Lingchi!"
The jailers who had been pushed back now all rushed in to take orders. Xiao Ziqi threw down his sword and strode away.
But even after leaving here, Cui Yutao's words still kept echoing in his ears. Each word was like a knife, stabbing his heart hard. He never knew that she had suffered so many sins, and that she was the most painful. What were you doing when you were there? He also hated her and forced her to remember the past all the time...
Xiao Ziqi felt depressed, mixed with an indescribable pain.
He wanted to find a place to vent, but he didn't know where to go. He walked aimlessly for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had arrived at her princess mansion.
He whispered those two extremely familiar words: "Roujia, Roujia, Roujia..."
He read it many times until his chest filled with these two words, until tears fell uncontrollably. He choked and read the last time, "Azhao."
There was no one around, so he burst into tears. What should he do now? How could he make it up to her and save her?
he does not know.
Just when he was crying uncontrollably, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "General Xiao?"
He looked back in surprise and saw a man wearing plain white pajamas and a robe, followed by a boy holding a lantern. Looking at that face again, it was Gu Xingmo!
"Gu, Gu Xiuzhan." He shouted awkwardly.
"It's really General Xiao. It's good that it's General Xiao. I thought some family came to herd cattle in front of the house in the middle of the night and scared my wife."
"Is it? lol."
"When you said that, I remembered that a cow really passed by just now. I don't know who lost it. I had to stop it quickly."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Gu Xingmo stopped him, "General Xiao, if you don't mind, come and sit in the house. It's already late at night and I'm afraid it won't be easy to disturb the eldest princess."
In a daze, Xiao Ziqi followed him into the house.
After entering Gu's mansion, Gu Xingmo ordered the servants to entertain the general well, but he left in a hurry.
"Where is he going?" Xiao Ziqi was a little curious.
"The master went to coax the madam. The ghosts and howling outside earlier woke up the madam..."
Realizing that something was wrong, the young man suddenly clapped his mouth and said, "Oh, look at my mouth. I really can't speak. It's a cow. The cow that just passed by outside the house disturbed the lady, so the master asked the young man to come out with him. Check at the mansion, general, please wait a moment, I will be here in a moment."
Xiao Ziqi held the tea poured by the other party and could only smile lightly, then changed the subject and said: "Your master and his wife have a good relationship."
"That's right, the master and his wife are a couple of gods and immortals..."
When the young man mentioned his master and his wife, he seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and kept talking.
