Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1858

Unexpectedly, Cen Ji's nose was almost crooked with anger, and his face turned red. "You ruined my good thing, and I haven't settled the score with you yet! Now you are going crazy!"

Cen Che sneered, "They have started planning so early, to kill Emperor Heng's son, aren't they afraid of making things easier for others?"

"What kind of good thing are you! Wasn't it you who sent someone to tell me that my fourth brother was not my fourth brother, but Emperor Heng? Over the years, my people have suffered heavy losses..."

"Those people of yours are all useless. What's there to say? People who are not yours said that Emperor Heng had been killed by them a long time ago? We all thought he was dead, but he is still alive and well, and even became the consort of the Northern Wing. Who can you blame! You are useless, and your people are useless too!"

Cen Che has never lost in verbal battles.

Cen Ji's face looked very ugly.

The two brothers argued in low voices, neither of them willing to give in.

"I don't need to fight for the throne—" Cen Che suddenly approached, the short blade at his waist clanged out three inches, "But if Miss Hongque loses even a hair, I will make you regret it!"

Cen Ji was so angry that he didn’t want to talk, but he still said, “It’s not me!”

Before he could do anything, something went wrong. He had to take the blame. Who could he complain to?

It was not until Cen Ji sent out his personal guards to conduct a thorough investigation and finally discovered traces of the tunnel in the Gongcheng martial arts field that Cen Che reluctantly believed that this matter had nothing to do with his brother - after all, the princess's people had also found the same clues.

The clepsydra water clock pointed to three quarters after midnight, and Pan Yizi, the defender of Gongcheng, had been taken to prison.

General Pan, who had been dispatching food and fodder for disaster relief in the morning, was now being pressed on the rack and vomiting blood.

The people who attacked were Wu Qicheng's men, the defender of Tiema City. Among them there were two particularly vicious young men who were extremely ruthless and beat the men to death as soon as they came up.

The one wearing crimson arrow sleeves was holding Pan Yizi's youngest son in front of him.

"Tell me!" The young man slapped the child's face with a thin blade, "Where did you hide Miss Red Magpie?"

The ten-year-old child burst into tears. Normally, he would whip others with a whip. When had anyone ever treated him like this?

Pan Yizi had a son in his middle age and doted on him very much. His collapsed wails and his son's cries penetrated the prison walls.

He couldn't bear it.

He didn't do this.

He felt wronged. "It was Jiang Zhongxin, the commander of Songcheng..."

This man not only secretly amassed countless wealth, but also went so far as to secretly send people to search for beautiful women everywhere, imprison them in his mansion, and train them to be "beauty screens", "beauty cups", and even "beauty paper" for his sexual pleasure.

What is even more horrifying is that there were more than a dozen officials in Lingzhou who were in cahoots with Jiang Zhongxin.

Wu Hongbo was transferred here. Because he was born as a Beijing official and had always behaved properly, Jiang Zhongxin never dared to drag him into this muddy water.

This incident was exposed due to the reckless behavior of the old housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion.

This morning, he was sent by his master to deliver a letter to General Pan. When he passed by Zhou Ji's candy and fruit shop, he ran into two fair-skinned girls and suddenly had evil intentions.

He originally planned to capture both girls and bring them back for his master to enjoy, but he couldn't do it because there were too many people in front of Zhouji's shop.

Unexpectedly, the younger one ran to a nearby place where there were few customers and was taken advantage of by the other party.

Jiang Zhongxin was thrown into prison.
