Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 23

"The little one doesn't know that you are the prince, so please ask the prince to make amends."

"Butler, get up, I don't mean to blame you. Is it because I want to wait without telling you?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. I will serve you well in the future." The old butler knew that this young son was actually the emperor's son. Thinking that he had not served him with all his heart, he might feel neglected. Got a cold sweat.Fortunately, this prince is very kind, so he forgave him, otherwise what would happen to the old and young at home.As soon as the old housekeeper went out, he saw a carriage parked at the door, and a veiled girl came down, her figure was really beautiful.I saw the maid helped the woman out of the carriage and walked slowly to the door.

"Dare to ask uncle, is this the place where His Highness Prince Duan stays in Suzhou?"

"Exactly, who is the girl who dare to ask? But she came to look for the prince."

"Old man, this is my greeting card, please pass it on."

"It's not that I don't want to. My lord, he hasn't seen anyone recently. Many adults in Suzhou City came to the mansion to send invitations, but my lord refused to see them all."

"Old man, tell the lord that Miss Huamanlou Wu has something to ask to see the lord."

When the old butler heard that it was the girl from Huamanlou, he thought that the girl was pretty, but she turned out to be the girl from the place where fireworks were waiting, so he felt contemptuous in his heart.

"My lord doesn't even see your lords, is it possible that he still wants to see you and other brothel girls?"

"Old thing! What nonsense are you talking about! Although my young lady comes from a brothel, she is an innocent woman." The maid beside Miss Wu couldn't bear the cold eyes of these pedantic people on her young lady.Miss Wu knew that the prince was of high status, so she was afraid that she would not see her.

"Old man, tell the prince, I have what the prince wants here. The prince will naturally meet me."

The old housekeeper rolled his eyes and thought, the prince is not the prince who came to Suzhou for no reason, there must be something important, this Miss Wu said that there is something the prince wants, it is probably true, the prince is such a status, this If Miss Wu lied to him, she might die badly.The old housekeeper became more polite, and went into the room to report to Zhao Xiyan. Zhao Xiyan was puzzled, but still invited Miss Wu into the front hall.

"Wu Qingyao, the daughter of the people, has met His Royal Highness Duan Wang"

"Get up, don't be too polite. I wonder why Miss Wu is here today?"

"Report to the lord, Qingyao really wants to see something."

"I don't know what's the matter? Please ask Miss Wu to get straight to the point."

"Qingyao is daring. Qingyao knows that the prince came for the Qinglian Sect, and now she is worrying about Zhou Wei's matter."

"How did you find out?"

"The lord also knows that Qingyao is just a whore in Huamanlou. How many high-ranking officials and nobles have come, Qingyao will always know a little bit about it. Now Qingyao came here to make a deal with the lord."

"You know quite a lot. You said you had what the king wanted, and now you're talking about making a deal. Let's talk about it." Zhao Xiyan felt that Miss Wu was too simple. The source of it will have to be cleaned up in the future.This Ms. Wu has a lot of confidence, so you might as well listen to it.

"Minnv knows how to capture Zhou Wei, so she can offer her advice to the prince."

"What about your conditions?"

"Get out of prostitution and marry into Prince Duan's residence."

Zhao Xiyan was also shocked when he heard this condition.I'm afraid this woman is crazy, why should she marry herself.

"It's not difficult for me to help you get rid of prostitution. As for you marrying me, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. I already have a main wife and two side concubines. I don't need wives and concubines."

"Qingyao has known for a long time that you are married, lord, and there are many wives and concubines in the mansion, but Qingyao still hopes to marry into the mansion."

"Why are you so obsessed with marrying this king? There are so many men in the world."

"There are tens of thousands of men in the world, but they are all greedy for Qingyao's appearance, and a few of them are sincere."

"Although what you said is true, it is not the truth. This king has already said it before, please get straight to the point."

"My lord is really smart and wise."

"Come on, I just want to hear the truth." Zhao Xiyan took a sip of tea, a little impatient, but showed interest.Such a request seems a little too much, and I don't know what the woman is trying to do.

"The prince who is a prostitute in an educated youth building is the most despicable type. Even if she leaves the prostitution and restores her citizenship, it is difficult to survive, and she is just humiliated by others. Only by marrying into a powerful family can she not be humiliated in this life, and keep her life. The glory of this life."

"Your reason is hard to convince this king. Do you know that the prince's backyard has been a cave of dragons and tigers since ancient times. How many women married into the prince's mansion of the prince's family and lived alone forever? How can the backyard of the prince's mansion be calmer than ordinary people's houses. Besides, this king may not favor you, and you How can I live in glory and wealth."

"Minutes don't want to be favored by the prince, and they don't need to be favored by the prince. I only hope that the prince will be a idler in the mansion, so that no one can bully him at will. The daughter believes that the prince will not treat the daughter badly, and will definitely protect the daughter forever. "

"It's easy to help you get rid of prostitution, but anyway, this king doesn't want to marry you. This king already has a princess. But this king can buy a house, give you some money, and send some guards to protect you. If there is something missing, just send someone to the palace and just say a word."

"The lord and the concubine really have a deep love, so that's fine. Qingyao is so protected by the lord, so she doesn't ask for anything. It's just that the lord will return to Beijing in the future, leaving Qingyao alone in Suzhou. People bully."

"You want to go to Beijing with me, right?"

"Let me think about it, the king has agreed to the condition, and you can talk about how to catch that Zhou Wei first. This king has a lot of soldiers, but he doesn't want to use force. The soldiers will go out, which will inevitably cause panic among the people in the city."

"My lord is not in a hurry. This letter clearly states. Qingyao said goodbye. Once this matter is over, my lord will fulfill his promise."

Zhao Xiyan took the letter, looked at Wu Qingyao, and felt that this woman was not simple, she looked very weak on the surface, but it might not be the case.Not all people in this world are consistent with the outside and the inside, there are too many people who are not the same.Zhao Xiyan opened the envelope, but smiled after reading it.Immediately informed Shi Jiang and Liu Zhifu, and went to Shimen Lane at midnight tonight.At night, Zhao Xiyan brought five soldiers to Shimen Lane, directly knocked out the two guards outside the door, broke in and arrested a woman and a child.Zhao Xiyan told people not to hurt the mother and son, so Zhao Xiyan took the mother and son to the inn where they stayed before.It was expected that Zhou Wei would come in less than half an hour, and as soon as he drank a cup of tea, he heard the sound of fighting, thinking that Zhou Wei came so fast.Zhou Wei himself does not have much martial arts, but there are many masters around him.The Qinglian Sect sent killers many times, but they were all killed. In order to keep the Qinglian Sect secret from the world, Yan Fengjun couldn't jump out to trouble him.Yan Fengjun's tricks, and that traitor's red move, knew all about it, and the information was intercepted one after another, so he was too busy to deal with it, and no matter how he tried to lure him, he couldn't lure Zhou Wei.Soon the masters around Zhou Wei overthrew Zhao Xiyan's personal soldiers and came to him.Zhao Xiyan looked at him, he was a scholar with a white face and red teeth.

"What a hero you are for tying up a childish woman!"

"What kind of intentions do you have in recruiting troops without permission?"

Zhou Wei and Zhao Xiyan met face to face, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that? How courageous are you?"

"I am the mastermind who kidnapped women and children."

"It's the concubine of that woman from Qinglian Sect. I'm afraid you're going to die here today and you won't be able to explain it."

"It's not certain who will die today?"

"What are you looking at, talking nonsense with him, kill him." The masters guarding around Zhou Wei jumped out one after another to take Zhao Xiyan's life, but Zhao Xiyan's personal soldiers carried out the child, and saw the child dripping with sugar saliva.

"Dad~"

"Wu'er"

"So you are the father of this child, the one over there should be your wife."

"So what, what if not? You release them immediately, or I will let you die without a place to bury you."

"You have a wife and a child, why did you marry Hongzhao, the ambassador of Qinglian Sect?"

"It's none of your business, let them go, or I will kill you."

The woman inside also came out, and seeing her husband whom she had not seen many times, the woman burst into tears.At this time, Hong Zhao also broke the window and entered the room with the maid.Zhou Wei was startled, but Zhao Xiyan looked like he was waiting for a good show.

"Husband, why are you here?" Hong Zhao rushed over after receiving the news that Zhou Wei rushed out with his master.The woman behind Zhao Xiyan was startled, "What do you call him?"

"Madam, I call my husband-in-law your husband, why are you asking this knowingly?"

"You are his wife, so who am I?" Tears of despair flowed down the woman's delicate face, Hong Zhao was confused, what the hell was going on.Before she could ask, the woman came back to her senses, understood what was going on, and started roaring.

"Zhou Wei, I married you when I was 15 years old. Do you remember my parents' objection? Do you remember that I severed ties with my father for you? Do you remember the vow you made in my ear? In the past few years, you took the imperial examination, and your family was poor, and I worked hard to take care of this family. Do you still remember these things?"

"I remember everything, Fang Niang, don't get excited, you are not in good health, things are not what you think, you listen to my explanation."

"Zhou Wei! What did you say?"

"Red move! Not..."

"Who the hell is Zhou Wei!"

Seeing Fangniang's tearful eyes and Hongzhao's angry look, Zhou Wei hesitated for a long time without saying a word.Zhao Xiyan drank tea but opened his mouth, "Daqi Shaoyuan was 14 years old, Zhou Wei married Fangniang, Shaoyuan gave birth to a child in 15 years, Shaoyuan went to Beijing for the third time in May of 20 years and failed the exam. In June, Zhou Wei got acquainted with Hongzhao. Hongzhao rebelled against Qinglian Sect in Jiuyue, and they got married in the same month. Zhou Wei, am I right?"

Both Hongzhao and Fangniang already knew what was going on, and Zhou Wei deceived both Fangniang and Hongzhao.Now the lie has been exposed by Zhao Xiyan.

"You're talking nonsense, it's not like that. You're talking nonsense, Miss Fang, listen to me, it's not like that. I've never loved this woman. I just want to rely on this woman's past relationship with Qinglian Sect, and I want you to live well Just a few. You don’t have to live in a dilapidated house anymore, and you don’t have enough food or clothing.”

"Zhou Wei, have you really never loved me? Then what you said, are all lies about me?"

"You bastard, if it weren't for your value, how could I marry you. You are not half as good as Fang Niang."

"It turns out that you and this woman are married again, so you always want me and Wu'er to hide in Tibet."

With tears in her eyes, Hong Zhao looked at Zhou Wei and Fang Niang with a sneer. For the sake of the man in front of her, she betrayed the Qinglian Sect who had nurtured her, betrayed the sisters who grew up together, and did so many wrong things , she regrets and hates.But it was too late.

"Zhou Wei, you betrayed me." Hong Zhao drew the maid's sword and stabbed in Fangniang's direction.Without even thinking about it, Zhou Wei picked up his sword and blocked Fangniang and Wu'er. When Hong Zhao approached, he suddenly retracted his sword, but Zhou Wei stabbed Hong Zhao's stomach with his sword.Hong Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood, and rested his chin on Zhou Wei's shoulder.

"Do you know? I didn't intend to kill her at all, I just wanted to know if you ever loved me, even the slightest bit. Now... I got the answer."

"Red move, red move, I shouldn't have lied to you."

"No, I just hope that I won't meet you again in my next life."

"Red move!"

"You know what? I have a... baby in my stomach, yours. I... hate..."

Before Hong Zhao finished speaking, he fell on Zhou Wei's body, and Zhou Wei wept bitterly while holding Hong Zhao's body.Before he died, Hong Zhao's mind was full of that June, that heavy rain, that encounter, which turned out to be just a deception.Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiyan couldn't help but feel his heart twitch. Although the red move was wrong, it was done with deep affection.Zhou Wei heard that Hong Zhao said that he had his child, and now he personally killed the woman who loved him deeply with his sword, and killed his unborn child. Zhou Wei couldn't stand the excitement, and kept crying while holding Hong Zhao's body .Fang Niang looked at Zhou Wei and Hong Zhao sadly, and covered Wu'er's eyes.Those masters were acupointed by Zhao Xiyan's personal soldiers, and they couldn't move anymore.Zhao Xiyan ordered Zhou Wei to be tied up, but Zhou Wei stubbornly resisted.

"At this point, you'd better surrender."

"Why do you arrest me? I haven't done anything wrong."

"Zhou Wei, now that your wife and children are in front of you, I don't want to expose you. I want to save some face with you, so you don't have to resist stubbornly. Now that you have brought these masters, they have all had acupuncture points tapped, so they can't help you."

Zhao Xiyan tied Zhou Wei and gave him time to explain to his wife and children.When the time came, Zhao Xiyan just wanted to take Zhou Wei to the magistrate's yamen to be locked up, and send him back to the capital for business in a few days, when Yan Fengjun arrived.

"Don't worry, my lord, can my lord send Zhou Wei to me?"

"I'm afraid this can't be done. This king wants to take him back to Beijing. Otherwise, this king will find it difficult to explain."

"Feng Jun understands, but I want something from Zhou Wei."

"what?"

"His heart."

"Why?"

"Although Hongzhao betrayed the Qinglian Sect, I grew up with her. Zhou Wei lied to her heart, so I sacrificed his heart to her."

"Okay, let's go to the prison to get a heart at this time tomorrow. Remember to make his death not too painful."

"Thank you, my lord, I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant in the future."

"That's good."

Zhao Xiyan knew that Zhou Wei would die, and he must have died in Suzhou.Even if he didn't allow Yan Fengjun tonight, Yan Fengjun would kill Zhou Wei on the way.Instead of this, it would be better to let him die less painfully and with more face.Zhao Xiyan looked at Fangniang mother and son who were crying to death, so he brought 1000 taels of silver notes to comfort Fangniang mother and son, and sent someone to send them back to their hometown for peace.Yan Fengjun returned to Qinglian Sect with Hongzhao's body, and Zhao Xiyan sent Zhifu and Shi Jiang to take Zhou Wei's fake Qinglian Sect overnight.One night before, the prison in the magistrate's yamen was full of people.On the second day, Yan Fengjun went to the prison and fed the meat for Zhou Wei to eat. He dug out his heart and left.Zhao Xiyan received the news and asked Wu Zuo to tidy up Zhou Wei, so that he could leave better.Zhao Xiyan sent Shi Jiang as the escort to escort Zhou Wei's body and the rebels to Beijing.Zhao Xiyan hastily wrote an excerpt and told the emperor what happened in the future, and the matter will be settled at the Dali Temple in the capital for trial.Zhao Xiyan wrote the last stroke of the memorial, and couldn't help sighing.Zhou Wei's deception deceived two women who were deeply in love, broke their hearts, and ended up dying himself.What a pity!
