Chapter 555 Showing off

"I know that although the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of the case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice still depends on the empress's face. If the empress doesn't agree, the minister's wife will not be able to see Immortal Bailian."

These words made Zhou Qing's face change, this is not obviously mocking Su Ying's meddling in government affairs!

Su Ying was not angry, and even agreed to the general's wife's request, "In this case, then Zhou Qing, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment with the general's wife, the lady must ask the question clearly, otherwise I will not know Will you see this Great Immortal Bailian next time?"

The General's Madam looked at Su Ying's promise with a pale face, "Thank you, Madam, I understand."

When the general's wife went out to wait, Su Ying asked Zhou Qing to come to her and explain a few words, and Zhou Qing retreated in response.

Zhou Qing walked up to the general's wife, "Ma'am, please come with your servants."

The general's wife followed Zhou Qing to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and explained her intentions to the official. The official saw that Zhou Qing was someone close to the queen, so she didn't dare to neglect her, so she directly invited him to the guest room.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to close his eyes for the past two days, because he was afraid that something would go wrong in this case, so he stayed at the Ministry of Criminal Justice and did not go anywhere.

Hearing that the queen's person was coming, he immediately invited them to the study.

The general's wife saw that the official sent only Zhou Qing to go, and frowned in displeasure.

"Madam, please wait for a moment, the servant will return as soon as he goes."

Zhou Qing didn't go there for too long and came back, "Madam, Master Shangshu said that because of the special status of the Bailian Daxian, she is not suitable for being locked up in the prison, and she was transferred out yesterday."

A strange look flashed in the general's wife's eyes, "Where did the person go?"

"A courtyard in the city, Madam, go with the servants."

The general's wife nodded, as if she wanted to meet people for everything she said today.

The officer took them to a private house a certain distance from the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. The private house was too ordinary to attract anyone's attention.

The officer opened the courtyard door and led the general's wife in.

"The man is inside. Madam has a quarter of an hour. If you have any questions, just ask." The official stepped aside after finishing speaking.

When Mrs. General entered the room, she found Zhou Qing following her. She was a little displeased and said, "My wife's question about Immortal Bailian involves my lady's privacy. Girl, please avoid it."

Zhou Qing's smile remained unchanged, "Ma'am, the empress has a rule that no one is allowed to come into contact with Immortal Bailian alone. If Madam doesn't want to let the maidservant follow, then go back with the maidservant."

Everyone is here, how can the general's wife leave willingly.

She gave Zhou Qing a dark look and walked to the bed.

Immortal Bailian was awake, and when she saw the general's wife, there was no strange expression on her face, only a slight surprise.

The general's wife said, "Do you still remember me, Daxian?"

Immortal Bailian was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Madame Mighty General."

Madam General stared at her sharply, "Is it true what Daxian said to Madam Ben?"

Bailian Daxian's face turned pale, "Really, really."

"About my wife's private affairs, Daxian didn't tell others, right?"

The Great Immortal Bailian shook her head.

The general's wife kept her eyes fixed on Immortal Bailian, and she didn't miss any expression on her face.

It seemed that she got the answer she wanted, and a smile appeared on the face of the general's wife.

"That's good, Madam Ben has finished asking her questions, let's go."

Zhou Qing glanced at Immortal Bailian, not missing the tangled look in her eyes, then turned and left with the general's wife.

Out of the yard, the general's wife left in a carriage without even thanking her.

As night fell, a few black figures quietly appeared outside the house that guarded Immortal Bailian.

After avoiding the patrolling officials, they poured the tung oil they had brought outside the room where Immortal Bailian was, and then set the tung oil on fire.

But before they could evacuate, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness. Those people looked back and saw that the courtyard was surrounded by officials.

"Catch it!"

The officer gave an order, and the two sides fought.

The opponent was outnumbered and was finally taken down by the officials, but one of them still escaped.

The official messenger immediately notified the imperial guards who were looking for at night to start taking people in the city.

The movement in this corner did not cause too much sensation. After dawn, the common people got up as usual and started their day's life.

But at this time, the mighty general's mansion was not peaceful.

Last night, the General’s Mansion was surrounded by officials.

When Su Ying saw the general's wife again, she was already in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

She put on a plain long skirt and had already changed into a prison uniform, but even so, her dull face was still calm, but the unwillingness flashing in her eyes from time to time revealed the resentment in her heart.

"The Empress really lives up to her reputation. When did you discover the flaw?" The general's wife slowly raised her head to look at Su Ying and said quietly.

Su Ying asked the officer to bring a low stool and sit down in front of the general's wife, "When you went to the palace to look for me, the lady was still in a hurry."

The general's wife sneered, "Of course I am anxious, because it will be the anniversary of my husband's death in a short time. As I said, I must avenge him!"

Su Ying frowned slightly, "Revenge, if I remember correctly, the mighty general was killed in battle back then, even if it was revenge, it shouldn't be in the capital."

"He was killed!" The general's wife suddenly shouted excitedly.

Things have to go back to twenty years ago. The mighty general was definitely a general of the Chu state. When the Qiang tribe invaded, the mighty general led the troops to fight. However, in the last battle, the army A spy was found, the mighty general was beheaded on the battlefield, all his military achievements were divided up by the people below, and he was even dubbed as bad for leading troops and eager for success!

"I have known him since I was young. He has a stable temperament since he was a child. Every time he mentioned to me about the battlefield, he would talk about it. The bigger picture matters.”

But that year, no one was willing to believe what she said as a woman and child. She hated those people who stepped on her husband's bones and climbed up!

Later, at a banquet, she inadvertently learned that it wasn't her husband who entered the scene at all, but his subordinates who secretly led troops to attack in order to compete for credit, but were surrounded by the other party. Her husband had to send troops to save people. of.

"They took advantage of it and wantonly slandered his reputation. How can I swallow this breath!"

Su Ying's expression moved slightly, "So you have been dormant for many years, what are you going to do?"

The general's wife sneered and said: "I created the White Lotus Sect, just to make those people believe in the existence of this thing, and step by step lure their families into the trap I set, and I want them to fall into an irreversible trap." abyss!"
