Chapter 184 Letter from Song Dynasty
Chapter 184 Letter from the Song Dynasty
The soldiers shouted were shocked, not knowing whether they should stop.
Yelu Niegulu pointed at the two soldiers who were pulling a ring with a whip: "Didn't you hear that Lord Chen told you to stop?"
The two soldiers immediately stopped and stood aside with their hands hanging down. The tortured assassin shouted loudly at this time, and his voice was louder than the other, and his legs were shaking violently, as if he was trying to shake something off.
Chen Yuan listened to his shouting and suddenly felt that he was shaking a little while walking. The thing under his crotch seemed to be very wrong. He staggered two steps before walking to the man: "Brother, just say it, I beg you, I can't stand it anymore, why are you doing?"
The man shouted for a long time before he came back to breathe, and his chest was still undulating rapidly, but he still didn't say a word.
Yelu Niegulu frowned: "Continue!"
Chen Yuan waved his hand quickly: "Wait first! Prince Ninth, I suggest you bring other assassins here too and let them watch this man be tortured."
Yelu Niegulu was very strange: "Oh? Why?"
Chen Yuanyi shook his head: "The person who was beaten will never be afraid of seeing this!"
Yelu Negulu thought that this was indeed the case. The person who hit the body knew the degree of pain, but the person who saw it didn't know. He immediately said to the soldiers: "Take all the others up here! Brother Chen, sit down and see if there are more satisfying things to them below me!"
Chen Yuan shook his head very hard, and he was afraid of being beaten without seeing it. Chen Yuan also watched it. And when he saw that he suddenly realized that he was actually very afraid, he had an impulse, a kind of impulse to reveal all the secrets in his heart, in order to ask Yelu Niegulu to forgive him!
So he knew that he could not watch any longer, so he waved his hand: "I'll go back first, you can play slowly."
Yelu Niegulu smiled. For those who saw such punishment for the first time, military generals would feel frightened. It is normal for scholars like Chen Yuan to react like this. He called out a soldier: "You, send Lord Chen back to rest!"
At this time, Chen Yuan really felt that his legs and feet were not very flexible when walking, so he did not refuse and said, "Ninth Prince, I am going to investigate the situation tomorrow."
A smile appeared on Yelu Niegulu's mouth: "Brother Chen, walk slowly."
Perhaps someone wants to say that Chen Yuan is timid, just say it. Everyone wants to be braver. When Chen Yuan saw those martyrs being tortured, he still vomited blood and spitted with blood and sprayed with spray. He felt quite a hero. He once wanted to be such a person. But today when he was here, his real feeling was still terrified.
It seems that I really can't be a hero, at least I can't be a hero who keeps his mouth shut. Chen Yuan left the gate of the South Courtyard, and at this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the street. The sound of the carriage running was the only sound on the street.
Chen Yuan sat in the carriage for a long time before he came to his senses. No! He must not fall into Yelu Niegulu's hands! He can't stand the pain that is acceptable to him! He doesn't need to hold a box or a soldering iron. I guess he will say whatever he says just the two whips.
The key question is, does Yelu Negolu need to say it himself? What if he knows his purpose and tortures himself to death with the most cruel punishment?
The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more he became, the more he was afraid. He must go to Xiao Tali! Now the South and North Courts can't count on him. He must make this woman believe that he is doing things for her. Only in this way may he escape unscathed.
How should I say, or what I did to make Xiao Tali really feel at ease with me? Chen Yuan began to think slowly.
It was the first time he thought about this issue carefully. To make Xiao Tali trust himself, he had to figure out what she liked.
I think Chen Yuan had no foundation in Liao Kingdom, and had no reputation. He seemed to have no other skills except to turn his head faster. What could he use for her to use? Although he was qualified to go to court, he was ranked last, and no one even paid attention to whether he went to court on weekdays.
Does she want to assist her son? This may account for a certain proportion, but Chen Yuan is sure that this is definitely not enough to make Xiao Tali trust him.
Or, as she said, she needs to gain the trust of Yelu Zongyuan by herself, and become an insider in the Nanyuan Palace in the future, and cooperate with Yelu Hongji to deal with Yelu Zongyuan? It seems that it is not right. She must have buried chess pieces in Yelu Zongyuan's mansion.
While thinking, the carriage had arrived at Chen Yuan's house. The doorman opened the door with a cotton jacket and welcomed Chen Yuan in.
When he came to his house, Chen Yuan still couldn't figure out why Xiao Tat chose him. Just when he was about to fall asleep, Pang Xi pushed the door and came in.
Chen Yuan was a little surprised: "Mr. Pang, what's wrong with you coming so late?"
Pang Xi turned around and closed the door: "Of course there is something wrong. It's not convenient to talk to you just now." As he said that, he sat down and acted like he wanted to have a long talk.
Chen Yuan could only resist the sleepiness, pulled out two chairs and sat down at the table with Pang Xi.
"Your face is a little wrong. What happened?" Pang Xi asked first.
Chen Yuan shook his head and said frankly: "It's okay, I'm just a little scared. I was scared in the prison just now."
After hearing this, Pang Xi smiled and said nothing: "The master is here to get news."
Master, that is, Pang Ji and Lu Yijian.
Chen Yuan asked hurriedly: "What news?"
Pang Xi poured a glass of water for Chen Yuan: "Take a sip, you will feel more comfortable. Your face is too ugly now. If you fall asleep like this, you will definitely be awakened in the middle of the night."
Chen Yuan was very obedient. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Sure enough, he felt much more comfortable: "What's the matter?"
He knew in his heart that there was nothing particularly important about Lu Yijian and Pang Ji, and that people would never be able to pass on the message.
Pang Xi sorted out his thoughts: "Sometime ago, when Song Qi felt that the situation was wrong, I sent a memorial back to the Song Dynasty and asked the border guards to prepare early. The Grand Tutor asked us to tell us that Emperor Renzong was furious after receiving the memorial and denounced Xia Shu and others. The old man ordered us to let the alliance between Liao and Xixia collapse."
Chen Yuan snorted: "The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor are ready to take action?"
Pang Xi whispered: "It's not that you are ready to take action, you have already started taking action! Do you know who the Grand Master is the first to attack?"
Chen Yuan guessed: "Is it Wen Yanbo? Or Fan Zhongyan?"
Pang Xi shook his head: "None of them, it's Chai Yang!"
Chen Yuan was very surprised: "No way?"
Pang Xi also poured a glass of water himself: "I know you have a good relationship with Chai Yang. To be honest, I admire Master Chai very much. However, he shouldn't be against the Grand Master, and he shouldn't be the eyes and ears of those people."
Chen Yuan sighed. He had already understood the purpose of Master Pang's move. He first got rid of Chai Yang. On the surface, Master Pang was in order to avenge last year's revenge, Ouyang Xiu and others would have to do their best to rescue Chai Yang.
But it's useless. Chai Yang is not an official in the government. Grand Master Pang is now indifferent to officials. At most, the two of them are under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. Chai Yang has an iron certificate for alchemy, but Lao Pang has a daughter next to the emperor. Who is afraid of whom when he comes to Bao Zheng?
This lawsuit will surely alarm everyone and attract all eyes. Pang Ji did this obviously to attract the attention of his opponent and make everyone look at his bad guy. Then, the villain Lu Yijian would quietly stab a fatal knife!
Chen Yuan shook his head gently. These two old guys are so poisonous! This time someone is probably going to Qiongzhou to fish again.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of literati was quite high. Even if the emperor treated literati with guilt, he could not kill them casually. Only those evil crimes would be executed. For example, Lao Pang's final outcome was that he was exiled to Qiongzhou by Renzong, which was today in Hainan to fish.
When Pang Xi saw that Chen Yuan did not speak for a moment, he immediately took the initiative to tell Pang Ji what happened. Although it was not very detailed, it was enough to let Chen Yuan know the whole process.
Pang Ji first made people speak out in the world, wanting to step on Chai Yang's Binyue Tower. Such fights in the world occur from time to time, and Chai Yang doesn't take them seriously.
However, after hearing the news, many of his friends came to help Chai Yang.
On the day that both sides agreed, a very tragic fight started in Binyue Building. It is said that many people died that night. The strange thing happened after the fight, that is, when it was almost dawn.
Zhan Zhao from Kaifeng Prefecture came to stop the fight with the constable, but a team of imperial guards also drove over, holding imperial edicts in hand, and wanted to capture all the strong men who disrupted the public order of Bianjing.
The imperial edict was personally issued by Renzong. The ink on it was bright red and the guards who were familiar with Zhan Zhao in the palace. Zhan Zhao had no choice but to hand over the people.
Chai Yang hurriedly asked the heroes who came to help him to enter the Binyue Tower. No matter what the reason was for the Imperial Guard, there was Chai Yang's elixir of the alchemy book and iron vouchers there. If you want to come in and arrest people, you must have a special order to allow you to go in. At the same time, you quickly notify the friends in the court to come forward and talk about the situation, wanting to calm the matter from Renzong.
When officers and soldiers faced this situation in the past, most of them retreated. But this time it was different. The officers who led the team insisted that Chai Yang take the iron coupons for the alchemy book. Chai Yang went into the house to get it and found that the iron coupons issued by Zhao Kuangyin himself disappeared!
The matter was serious now. I couldn't take out the iron voucher for the alchemy book. The imperial guards broke into Binyue Tower without hesitation and arrested all the more than 30 heroes from the martial arts world who came to help Chai Yang. They didn't pass the imperial examination at all and cut them all at the door of Binyue Tower.
Chen Yuan sighed deeply when he heard this. Master Pang was so poisonous!
He knew from the beginning that he could not kill Chai Yang's people, so what he wanted to kill was Chai Yang's heart! Chai Yang could not accept this matter. Those people came to help him, but he could only watch these people die in front of him, without any help.
The matter was not over yet, and a censor immediately sued Chai Yang in front of Song Renzong, saying that Chai Yang lost the iron certificate of the alchemy book, which was a contempt for Emperor Taizu and an unfilial act to Chai Yang's ancestors! He should serve as a military officer in his crime!
Ouyang Xiu and others tried their best to defend Chai Yang, but someone immediately found out that most of the people in the martial arts world who came to help Chai Yang with cases on their backs. Even Chai Yang himself was also related to many vicious cases in Bianjing City in the past.
In fact, such things are very normal. Whoever walks around the world has no blood on his hands?
However, Renzong didn't think so. He was angry. Emperor Taizu gave you a elixir voucher for the Chai family and gave you countless good land. The purpose was to hope that your Chai family could enjoy peace and happiness, not for you to use it for ***!
