Chapter 1101 Chapter 1101: Confrontation [Please vote]
All civil and military officials are a little numb.
Now everyone seems to be lying.
"Fourth Highness, do you... take this seriously?"
Since the Fourth Young Master holds the Zen edict written by Wu Xian himself, he is the legitimate heir. This seems a bit silly for refusing the previous few times. It could obviously save a lot of trouble, so why not hide it? The ministers had some doubts about the edict.
Lao Si also felt bitter in his heart that he couldn't express.
However, he knew very well that if he still had a chance to go down the steps at this moment, he would be thrown off the high platform and end up being shattered to pieces. He could only bite the bullet and continue to talk nonsense: "Of course it's serious! I didn't mention it, just because the edict from the youngest son of Zen arrived first! As a son, how can he disobey his biological father? As an elder brother, how can he bully his younger brother? At the moment, the country At this time of crisis, as a son and a minister, you should prioritize the stability of the country rather than fighting for power. I really don’t want to cause more trouble, so I decided to hide the news. I never thought that people’s hearts are unpredictable, and not everyone is willing to think so. …”
The "unpredictable people's hearts" mentioned by Lao Si are the Fifth Young Master.
As soon as the fifth son heard that the throne was given to the youngest, he broke his guard. He couldn't wait to draw an army of soldiers and horses to force the palace, launched a palace coup, killed his siblings and his concubine, and was so greedy for profit! He is different. He clearly holds the right to be the legitimate successor, but he chooses to suffer and endure for the sake of the overall situation. Comparing the two, isn't it a matter of character?
Say that he confuses right and wrong?
Hehe, the dead will not cry out.
What's wrong with letting yourself step on your own two feet?
The ministers thought the Fourth Young Master’s words sounded strange, but the current evidence could not refute anything. Except for the Fourth Young Master's character and mind, which are comparable to those of a saint, there is nothing wrong with him. Even if you doubt it, now is not the time to worry about it.
Everyone looked at the clan elder with a livid face.
The latter had no chance to get close to Lao Si after several failed attempts, and was forced into a corner by the palace guards. Due to his special status, the soldiers only surrounded him but did not kill him. The actor bribed by the fourth child thought there was no hope, and never thought of a turn of events. It was recognized that Qingliu was stepping forward, and he sternly accused: "Your life is probably in vain, but you are a fool who is obsessed with recognizing shadows!"
Qingliu had just opened his head, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He seemed to be in great pain, and his eyes were about to burst. It was heart-wrenching to see - this old guy wouldn't die from anger here, would he?
The more he looked at it, the more he looked like he was burning with anger.
The rest of Qingliu's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know whether he should spit it out or not.
∣
He hadn’t decided whether to spray or not, but his clan members did it first.
A mouthful of old blood spurted out from his mouth and spread all over the ground.
This sudden change even shocked the guards who surrounded the clan. It's just that they are of excellent quality and took the opportunity to step forward and capture the clan members, waiting for the Fourth Brother to be punished. No matter how murderous Lao Si is, he can't kill people directly now! Can't kill!
First of all, the character he just established was too good. From the perspective of a clan member, the old man only wanted to maintain the "legitimacy" of the Wu royal family and kill the rebels. As a magnanimous and benevolent new master, he must be tolerant and magnanimous; secondly, Wu Xian has to call each other uncle, how can the fourth child, as a grandson, kill him whenever he says? Thirdly, the fourth child now needs the power of the clan to support him.
Sending favors is a signal of friendship.
Hence, Lao Si ordered his clan members to be temporarily detained.
The specific disposal needs to be discussed with Zong Zheng.
The ministers praised him for his generosity.
Lao Si’s smile was a little unnatural. When the chaotic meeting was over, he was surprised to find that his underwear was wet with sweat and clinging to his skin. Everything that happened today was beyond his plan! He couldn't wait to leave the court to find his husband for review. The civil and military ministers were also absent-minded, so the court meeting ended in an anticlimactic manner.
"...No matter what, the situation is always good." Looking at the dispersed civil and military forces, Lao Si's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He won this big bet! Before the court meeting began, he prepared for the worst—the plan failed and the body was found somewhere!
The result is a twists and turns.
Lao Si is not in a hurry to return to the inner court at the moment.
Sent a confidant to tell Mi the good news, telling her not to worry or be afraid, and then summoned the greatest hero and savior today! If it weren't for him, I would really be in danger today. What Lao Si was even more confused about was why the other party had an edict in his hand?
Lao Si waited around but no one came.
“Where are the people?”
“Has left the palace.”
"Leaving so fast?" The corner of Laosi's mouth twitched. The man didn't accept the reward or thank you, and left the palace in a hurry? Are you rushing to reincarnate? He was slandering in his heart, and the fourth child also knew that this move was very suspicious, "Then send someone to his house to invite someone!"
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
There are a lot of monsters today, and it blows one after another.
The great hero ran very fast, and the gentleman was nowhere to be found.
The husband must have known about the meeting at the first time. Her delay in showing up made the fourth child suspicious. He suppressed his inexplicable annoyance and sent someone to look for him, but he didn't know that the person he was looking for was in the dungeon. This dungeon does not house ordinary prisoners but criminal clan members, so the living environment is quite friendly.
The space is spacious but not cramped, and the smell is not unpleasant.
The guard guarding the prisoner collapsed without warning.
A burly figure quietly appeared outside the cell door.
In the cell, the breathless clan member opened his eyes, sat up with his elbows bent, and stared into the void in front of him. The burly figure looked at the dried blood on the corner of his clan's mouth and said, "Tragic! It's too tragic! Shen Youli is not a human being!"
With today's announcement, even Qi Cang can see who the three edicts are aimed at. They are not directed at Wu Xian and Gao Guo, but specifically at Mei Jinghe who performed the consummation ceremony! He spoke of sympathy and helped Mei Meng condemn Shen Tang, but his eyes were full of appreciation! Shen Youli's taste is too upright, and she likes the one who will retaliate! A gentleman's revenge is never too late after ten years, and a villain's revenge is never too late!
The clan's eyelids were raised, and his eyes were tilted upward to look at Qi Cang.
“Whose colleague are you?”
“My colleagues all suffered a bad end.”
Mei Meng, the clan relative, was angry again at his words. He vomited blood again and his chest finally felt better. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, endless thoughts rolling in her eyes.
Qi Cang appreciated her even more when he saw that her momentum had not weakened. He likes people who are so indomitable, that kind of hypocritical little **** who seeks death and survival after being hit once. He is unlucky even if he sees her.
“This time it was a complete failure, do you still want to look for another opportunity?”
“Let’s talk about it, it won’t work in a short time.”
Mei Meng covered her heart that was in severe pain due to the backlash of Wenqi, and frowned lightly with her charming eyebrows. Not only does the heart hurt, but the location of Danfu also aches. She didn't need to look inside to know that the Wen Palace must be in ruins at this moment, and repairing it would not take a day.
Qi Cang understood the meaning of Mei Meng's words.
“Oh, you’re not going to give up yet?”
His previous confessions were all told to dogs.
Mei Meng shook his head: "Never give up on climbing to the top!"
She raised her eyes: "Unless you die!"
In this case, Qi Cang was too lazy to persuade him. As he said, his colleagues would not end well. He held the dungeon's iron door railing, poured a little force into it, and cut off the fine iron as thick as his arm. Mei Meng covered the injury and staggered to her feet.
As soon as she got out of the dungeon, the sunlight poured down on her body, making her pale face almost transparent due to blood loss. She looked back at the location where the court meeting was held in the outer court. Qi Cang teased: "Why, you can't bear to leave my husband? That's right, this kid has more than just respect and admiration for you. He's young and handsome, and he's also capable of getting into trouble..."
Mei Meng's weak voice interrupted his ramblings.
“What happened to that edict?”
In the third edict, even Qi Cang had to slap his thigh and scream.
"Beware of taking advantage of it, there is always one." Mei Meng's mind changed and she made a plan, "I want to teach him the last lesson!" Qi Cang didn't know Mei Meng's plan, but he also guessed that the fourth child would be miserable.
Mei Meng added: "And the person who took out the edict!"
This great hero, who was remembered by both Mei Meng and Lao Si, hurriedly returned home. Before entering the house, he was still a man, but he suddenly transformed into a female Jiaoer. Apart from her, there was also a man huddled in the corner who was **** by Yanling Wuhua. This man's appearance and figure are exactly the same as the civil servant who took out the edict in the hall today.
The woman tore off the seal of the spirit of speech from the man's mouth.
The man may be able to take a breath.
“Follow me or die here!”
The woman’s thumb pressed against the sword grid and the sword blade was pushed out.
Following this, a sharp sword blade lay across the side of the man's neck.
The man gasped: "Bah! Stop—"
With a flash of white light, the man's eyes suddenly widened, and a thin blood streak appeared on his neck. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but the **** thread was opened by the spurting blood, and the skin and flesh of the wound were turned out, and the bones were deeply visible. The woman gave him a pleasant surprise: "I said you either come with me or die here. Why don't you believe me?"
The woman raised her hands and made a hand gesture, blocking all the men's voices that were about to shout. The man's throat was cut and he lost blood. After struggling for a while, he died completely. The woman put the sword in the man's hand, stood up and left the place.
The body in the study was discovered half a quarter of an hour later.
Lao Si was extremely shocked when he received the news.
“Suicide?”
The confidant reported back: "It seems from the scene that he committed suicide, but it is also possible that he was silenced. His subordinates sent people to torture the servants in his house, and they all said that there was nothing strange in recent days. Only two days ago, he brought back a woman."
“Where is that woman?”
"disappeared."
“Has the identity of the woman been found out?”
A confidant said: "It is said that it was his first love affair."
Piecing together the information provided by his wife and servants, the man went on a study trip a few years ago and met a girl in a rain pavilion somewhere. It started out as a very vulgar talent and beauty, and the process was considered romantic, but conflicts arose when it came time to talk about marriage. . The man said that he wanted a wife who was well-matched to his family, but the girl was from a commoner background, not even a poor family. Plus, with a letter from home urging him to marry her, he left before he had time to explain. I never thought that this woman would find a man after many years and be brought back by him.
Lao Si asked: "Besides these, is there anything else?"
For example, how did the edict get into the hands of a man?
His expectations were doomed to be disappointed.
The confidant didn't even find any clues. Seeing the gloomy expression on the old man's face, the confidant hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please forgive me and be patient for two days. I will definitely get to the bottom of the matter."
Lao Si knew in his heart that tolerance for twenty days, let alone two days, would be useless. This matter was bound to end in an anticlimax.
He took a deep breath to suppress excess emotions.
Just as he was about to wave to his confidants to go down, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something bad is going on!"
“What’s wrong? How inappropriate is it to make a noise!”
He didn't have an attack when he saw that the person who came was a close confidant of his mother Mi.
After the visitor finished speaking, the fourth child felt that the world was spinning, and he held the corner of the table with his hands to keep from falling. After a long while, he asked with pale lips and scarlet eyes: "You said - are they all true?"
How can it be?
how could it be possible!
Lao Si waved away the confidant who came forward to help him.
Nearly rolling up, he staggered to the inner court.
Passing through the palace passage, the corpses here have been cleaned up, and the blood stains on the ground have been cleaned up, but the air is always filled with a nauseating and stomach-churning smell of blood. The fourth child turned pale after smelling it several times, and forced himself to go to the inner court to see his mother, Mi.
There were several corpses covered with white cloth lying neatly in the hall.
The news came from the palace that something big happened in the inner court.
Three more concubines died.
For Lao Si, he didn't care as long as the dead woman was not his own mother or sister, but this time he had to care because the three dead women had close relationships with the previous dynasty's wealthy families! There is also an interest relationship with the Lao Wu family. Their death means that he loses the opportunity to ease relations with the Laowu mother clan! Not only cannot he win over the families behind the three of them, but he also risks being stabbed in the back by them! Just thinking about it makes his skin crawl!
“How could they die!”
Laosi tried his best to suppress his fear and anger.
Mi said: "I don't know either."
She really doesn’t know.
“When they die, we, mother and son, will also be buried with them!”
The family behind them will not give up!
Last night, we were able to take advantage of the chaos and kill a few people, eradicate dissidents, and put the blame on the old man. How can the dead people settle the accounts now?
The mother and son looked at each other from a distance of two feet. Mi saw the negative emotions surging in his eyes, which made her heartache even if he was not blaming him. But I can't care about this at the moment: "However, there are also doubts about the candidate. Have you seen your aunt?"
A bang.
Something exploded in Lao Si’s head.
He took a step back, almost numb.
The dark clouds that have been hanging over my heart since the end of the court meeting expanded crazily, swallowing up the remaining hope. The fourth man's mind kept flashing back to what he had done after he appeared, and there was no one that did not help him, no one that did not help him... This man was smart and wise, which was exactly what he lacked. The husband is both a staff member and an elder. She is the only one who understands some of the troubles that he cannot talk to his mother.
To a certain extent, he has a closer relationship with his husband.
result-
“They are all liars!”
Mi said: "It's because my mother doesn't know people well."
—
“It’s done!”
On the third day of the second palace change in Gao Kingdom, Shen Tang received a letter from a mysterious blue bird. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of dots and horizontal lines. She read the ten lines of the encrypted letter at a glance, her eyebrows completely relaxed, "Gaoguo has been very lively recently."
I just have some free time, so I went to Shangnan to have a look.
