Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you
Chapter 171 The grudge between the old Taoist priest and the head of the Qian family
He could never accept the fact that his father was actually a real villain, and he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that his father might have just been used by others or made a mistake on impulse. However, now it seems that his father is an out-and-out hypocrite.
He tried to calm down and said, "He deceived all of us. Please arrange for me to meet him."
An Chen replied: "He is not in the Ministry of Justice, you can come with us to the palace."
Qian Mingcheng went to wash and change clothes. After coming out, the three of them drove the off-road vehicle to the palace together.
This time, a crowd of people gathered around again. They all knew that the goddess was in the car. Although there were many people, there was no one in the middle of the road, so their car was able to pass smoothly.
Of course, the driver was An Chen. Qian Mingcheng was mentally broken at this time and didn't pay any attention to the outside world. Xu Zhen expressed his gratitude for the people's courtesy and kept throwing candies to people on the roadside along the way.
She later realized that doing so could result in injuries to people fighting over the candy, but when she looked back, she realized her concerns were unnecessary.
There were not only patrolling officers and soldiers, but also volunteers with small notebooks hanging around their necks. They must be the people from the Ghost Killing Sect. They moved among the crowd, watching everything around them vigilantly, as if ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
It was truly admirable that Guishamen had grown to such a size, especially its founder, the mysterious old Taoist priest, who aroused Xu Zhen's strong curiosity.
According to rumors, no one seemed to have witnessed the old Taoist priest's death, and no news of him was heard in the following decades.
This made Xu Zhen feel that the old Taoist priest was like a mystery, full of unknowns and mysteries.
Along the way, everyone was silent, each with their own thoughts.
An Chen drove the SUV straight to the emperor's study without hesitation. Seeing this, the palace guards knew that the visitors must be Prince Chen and his wife, so they let them go without stopping them.
"Your Majesty, there is a car coming this way. I think Prince Chen and Princess have arrived."
"Clean it up quickly. Don't let them think that I am only obsessed with watching TV all day. I am busy all day long with state affairs!"
"Your Majesty, you work hard on state affairs day and night. They all know this."
"What do you know, old man? Only if they see that I fall ill due to overwork, maybe someone will be willing to take my place?" De Fu was speechless when he heard this.
People in the world often strive for power and status, but the father and son in front of us are less interested in the throne than the other, which is really incredible.
Hey! What is this?
As soon as the emperor lay down on the dragon couch, the imperial eunuch came over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Chen and Princess Chen came with Qian Mingcheng to ask for an audience."
After hearing the announcement, De Fu hurried forward to open the door and respectfully invited them in.
As soon as he entered the room, An Chen asked with concern: "Is the emperor discussing important matters with others?" De Fu quickly replied: "No." Then, An Chen asked again: "Then, is he dealing with some confidential matters?" De Fu shook his head again and denied: "No."
An Chen became more and more worried and continued to ask, "If that's the case, why is the palace door closed? Is it because your father is unwell? Have you summoned the imperial physician to treat him?"
Faced with his son's barrage of questions, the emperor felt more and more guilty. However, in order to break free from the "shackles" that had bound him for thirty years as soon as possible, he could only suppress his inner self-blame, pretending to be weak, and responded weakly: "Chen'er, don't worry too much. I'm just old and my body is useless..."
Xu Zhen, who was standing by, became nervous when she heard this. She quickly took out the equipment she carried with her and began to scan the emperor's entire body.
However, the results of the initial scan surprised and unbelievable her. She scanned it again carefully, but the data still shocked her.
So she decided to replace it with a more accurate instrument and conduct another test. When she saw the new test results, Xu Zhen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God!"
She was so concerned that she was confused! What's wrong with your health? She said that the emperor didn't get so many high-end supplements for nothing. Look at the data, all the indicators are much more normal than those of young people! Haha, she won't expose it. She wants to see what tricks the emperor can come up with!
After carefully scanning him up and down several times, even the emperor, who had been in office for thirty years and had an extremely strong heart, almost collapsed at this moment. Fortunately, Xu Zhen only frowned slightly, looked at him, and said nothing.
The emperor knew that Xu Zhen must have seen something, but was willing to conceal it for him. Just as he was thinking about how to thank Xu Zhen afterwards, he was awakened by An Chen's nervous words.
An Chen noticed that Xu Zhen not only pondered for several times, but also showed a surprised expression during the period, and finally frowned and looked at his father. He thought that the examination showed that his father had some terminal illness that could not be cured, so he asked anxiously: "Father, what's wrong with you? Weren't you in good health a few days ago?"
"It's okay. Chen'er brought the kid from the Qian family here today. Is there something wrong?" The emperor tried to change the subject while pretending to be calm.
"Let's call the imperial physician to take a look first." An Chen said worriedly.
The emperor looked at An Chen helplessly and winked at Xu Zhen. However, An Chen accidentally discovered all this and suddenly realized it.
It turned out that his father must have pretended to be sick, otherwise how could Defu be so calm, and his wife would not remain silent. He was too worried and concerned.
"Father, how can you scare your son like this? Just tell me what you want to do."
"Humph, you may not listen to me."
"The situation is not stable yet, and Zhenzhen and I still have many things to deal with. Father, can you let me worry a little less?"
"So you are willing to accept it. Well, well, then you guys hurry up and get busy, and try to finish it as soon as possible. I am also looking forward to going out to see this magnificent mountain and river scenery!"
An Chen also knew that his father had been trapped in the palace for thirty years, and he felt really distressed. He turned his head to look at Xu Zhen, and after thinking for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded in response.
"Within three years..."
"Ouch, ouch, no, no, my whole body aches. Defu, go and summon the imperial physician."
"Well, stop pretending. Since three years is too short, let's change it to five or ten."
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately anxious. He turned over and sat up, saying anxiously: "Two years, I will only give you two years!"
Qian Mingcheng was so frightened that he was stunned and froze in place. Today's news is really big and explosive! He secretly complained in his heart, thinking, is it too late to pretend to be deaf and blind now?
The emperor sat up and looked around the room, and suddenly found a stranger present. His old face flushed red and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
After all, he was the emperor, how could he let others laugh at him? However, he quickly calmed down. After all, he was the king of a country, who would dare to talk about him behind his back? So, he pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you two doing here?"
Qian Mingcheng lowered his head quickly, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, wishing to minimize his presence. And An Chen was also unwilling to speak because he was angry with his father.
The emperor waited for a long time, but when no one responded, he felt very embarrassed and felt that he had lost all his face. But he also knew that this was all his own fault, so he didn't dare to get angry easily.
Seeing this, Xu Zhen helplessly held his head and shook his head, and had to repeat what he had said to Qian Mingcheng before. After hearing this, the emperor nodded, and then ordered Defu to personally lead them to the clan house.
Zongrenfu Death Row
There were more than 20 people sentenced to death, including Chen Yan and the head of the Qian family. They were imprisoned separately, men and women. An Hao, who was demoted to a commoner, was imprisoned alone because of his mental retardation.
Defu led the three to the death row, which was gloomy and terrifying, and filled with a rotten smell. Qian Mingcheng couldn't help but shudder. They walked carefully and finally found the cell where the head of the Qian family was. Qian Mingcheng looked through the iron bars and saw that the head of the Qian family looked haggard, and the former majesty was no longer there.
Qian Mingcheng signaled to others to hide in the dark, while he took a deep breath and walked forward.
"Dad! I'm here to see you!" Qian Mingcheng said softly.
Hearing the voice, the head of the Qian family slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw his son, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Ming Cheng, you are here. My son! It's all my own fault. I was blinded by power and ended up like this. Fortunately, I am sensible and did not lead you astray. Only then can the bloodline of my Qian family be preserved." The head of the Qian family's tone was full of regret and self-blame.
"Do you feel resentful that your son didn't come to save you?" Qian Mingcheng gritted his teeth and asked this question.
The head of the Qian family shook his head, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "No blame! Dad knows that the crime he committed is unforgivable. If it weren't for my greed, I wouldn't have harmed so many people. Now, Dad just hopes that you can live well."
Qian Mingcheng stood there quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that although the man in front of him was his father, he was also a person who committed a serious crime.
"My son did the right thing. It was Dad who was confused! Dad lost himself just because he made a little money. He couldn't see how much he was worth. He even had some arrogant and unrealistic ideas and tried to do some extremely stupid things.
Fortunately, your mother taught you and Yingying very well. Daddy is really ashamed of you! Daddy has hurt you many times in the past, but you did not take advantage of me. Daddy is already grateful to you. "
"Dad, why are you doing this? Is there any reason behind it?" the young man asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Alas... Daddy knows that he doesn't have much time left. During the days of imprisonment, Daddy has thought about many things. These things are only known to Daddy. Originally, Daddy planned to take them into the coffin. But since you are here today, Daddy decided to tell you everything, just as a way to give you an explanation." The head of the Qian family sighed deeply and said slowly.
It turned out that the parents of the head of the Qian family were the concubine and nephew of the rich merchant who had been performed the ritual by the old Taoist priest and his disciples. They had ulterior motives and tried to frame the old Taoist priest and his disciples, so that the government issued a notice to arrest them everywhere.
On a pitch-black night, several disciples were so enraged that they could no longer bear the anger in their hearts, so they turned back and prepared to kill the concubine and the rich businessman's nephew.
However, at the critical moment, the old Taoist priest felt pity and, considering that the concubine was pregnant, he decisively stopped his disciples' actions and successfully saved the concubine's life.
"Please show mercy when you can, my disciples. Let her live for now." The old Taoist said earnestly.
"Master, how can you easily forgive such a cruel killing of innocent people?" one of the disciples asked indignantly.
"Although she is guilty, she is pregnant with an unborn child. It will not be too late to let her atone for her sins after the child is born." The old Taoist priest responded seriously.
"Okay, since Master said so, we will listen to you!" The apprentices answered in unison.
Afterwards, they took the unconscious concubine away and returned to the village where they lived. Since several disciples in the village who knew about the incident were dissatisfied with her, they rarely set foot in the village.
The old Taoist priest entrusted her to the care of a woman in the village who had experience in childbirth, and never revealed her past to anyone.
She herself witnessed the tragic scene of a wealthy businessman's nephew being killed by the young Taoist priests. At first, she was frightened to death, but as time went on, she gradually discovered that the people in the village seemed to be unaware of her past.
As time passed, her belly became bigger and bigger.
She was also subtly influenced by the kind people around her, and the love and kindness in her motherly heart was gradually increasing.
Unconsciously, she had begun to care about the children in the village and tried her best to help those who were in need and in need.
Although everyone else in the village was in a difficult situation with little food and clothing, she had never been treated unfairly.
She was once a good girl, and the old Taoist priest repaid her with kindness, which made her repent and want to do something for them, at least to stop the government from wanting her.
