Chapter Eighty-Four: Master Fang's Dialect
Lin Ruochen waited until after dark, put on the clothes called Huazi that Hongzhi had found for him in advance, and then swaggered onto the street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This dress is too clean, go get some dirt from the side and wipe it on my body." Lin Ruochen pointed to a piece of dirt in a depression at the bottom of the ground and said to Hongzhi next to him.
Hongzhi frowned, this dress is already torn enough, is it necessary to get dirty on the clothes again?
Lin Ruochen stood still, waiting for Hongzhi to wipe the dirt on himself. Hongzhi saw that Lin Ruochen insisted, so he had to pinch his nose and grab a piece of mud and apply it to Lin Ruochen's back, but Lin Ruochen was not satisfied, so he turned around and asked Hongzhi to apply some in front of him.
After cleaning up, Lin Ruochen deliberately walked towards the crowd, but everyone hurriedly avoided it, lest the smell on Lin Ruochen's body spread to him, and some people even said in disgust: "Where did you come from called Huazi, go away!" ”
Seeing other people's reactions, Lin Ruochen smiled happily, what he wanted was such an effect.
Hongzhi sighed helplessly, and then followed Lin Ruochen from a distance, and followed him to the palace gate to guard.
"What are you doing here? What's there to see here? ”
Lin Ruochen pointed to the city gate and said: "If the emperor wants to send someone out, no matter who he sends, the palace gate is the only way for him, so I have to wait here to see what kind of evil ghost dares to help the emperor secretly harm people." ”
Hongzhi didn't understand what Lin Ruochen meant, and he didn't know why Lin Ruochen said that the emperor would send someone out of the palace. But Hongzhi knew that since Lin Ruochen said this, he must have his reason.
As soon as Lord Fang walked into the palace, he felt that something was wrong, because there was not a single father-in-law waiting for the emperor, and the entire palace was quiet and terrifying.
"Where the hell did you put the old ten?"
The emperor's voice came coldly, and Lord Fang couldn't help but shudder, and then immediately knelt down in the direction where the voice came.
The emperor lifted the curtain and walked out, the expression on his face could not tell whether he was angry or accusatory. But Lord Fang knew that the emperor was holding back his anger.
"Back to the emperor, the ten princes have been locked up by me in a place, and I have already sent someone to investigate Sima Nan's property according to the emperor's wishes!"
"Humph!" As soon as a sneer came out of the emperor's nose, Lord Fang was so frightened that he hurriedly buried his head lower, he knew that his nose and brows were sweating, but he didn't dare to wipe it, because he didn't dare to do any extra movements.
The emperor stared at Lord Fang, without the slightest intention of letting him get up. "Lao Shi was locked up by you, what about Lin Ruochen and Sima Nan's godson? Where did the two of them go? ”
"This subordinate doesn't know, but the subordinate knows that someone sent a killer to kill them, and as for which of them wins and who loses, the subordinate didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense."
Lord Fang was telling the truth, he really didn't know whether he won or lost, because when he went over, he only saw a few corpses at the scene of the fire, and whether Lin Ruochen and Sima Tan were dead or not, he didn't see the living or the corpses, so he didn't dare to guess at will. This kind of thing, it's okay to guess correctly, once you guess wrong, the emperor's anger will make him even more unbearable.
"Lao Shi is really in your hands, are you sure that you are arresting Lao Shi, and not someone else pretending?"
Lord Fang was stunned, what did the emperor mean by this? Could it be that the Ten Princes he caught were disguised by Lin Ruochen, who had never shown up, so where did the real Ten Princes go?
Thinking of this, Lord Fang himself had to wonder if he had caught the right person?
As a result, before he could come up with a reason, the emperor saw his hesitation and immediately kicked his foot angrily.
"Tongues, what the hell are you doing? I specially instructed you to do this in person, and there must be no mistakes, and as a result, you actually caused me great trouble. Say, what shall I do with you? ”
Lord Fang, the old man whose real name is Fang Yan, immediately got up and knelt after being kicked in the head by the emperor. What can he say, saying that he actually doesn't know whether he is catching the Ten Princes themselves or the stand-in?
The emperor was furious and wanted to split the dialect in half immediately, but no matter what he did, he could not hide the gossip that the people had already heard.
It turned out that what Lin Ruochen had been spreading to the outside world for the past two days was a rumor, so the people learned an important news from the rumor, saying that the Ten Princes had been held hostage. His captors sent a threatening letter to Sima Nan, saying that when Sima Nan handed over all the property in his hands to the emperor, when would the ten princes be safe, otherwise the ten princes would lose their freedom forever.
This rumor is not true when you hear it, because it seems that the biggest beneficiary of this incident is the emperor, and how could the emperor kidnap his own son to threaten his son's grandfather? But the reason why rumors are rumors is because no one cares if he is true or not, what everyone cares about is how bizarre and wonderful this thing is.
After hearing this rumor, the emperor's angry lungs exploded, if the tenth prince didn't show up again, wouldn't he really become the murderer of his son? Even if some people believe that they are not people who value money and are indifferent to family affection, not being able to save their son is a manifestation of his incompetence as an emperor.
Looking at Fang Yan's reaction now, it seems that he may have kidnapped a fake Ten Princes, so could the real Ten Princes be kidnapped by another group of people? What is the purpose of their kidnapping, can't it be just to stink themselves? Also, since they dare to oppose the supreme ruler so arrogantly, aren't they afraid that the emperor will destroy their entire clan?
The emperor tried to calm himself down as much as possible, so as not to lose his normal judgment ability. "After the fake old ten was arrested by you, what did he do every day?"
Although Fang Yan pressed his head to the ground, he was still hot, and his back was already soaked. Hearing the emperor's question, he immediately replied: "That fake tenth prince stayed all day and didn't talk much, and he never had the idea of running away, he ate whatever he was given every day, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. ”
The emperor sneered, it seems that the rumors may be true, otherwise how could the ten princes not be picky eaters? He's a good eater. "As far as I know, the people secretly made a bet that it would take me a few days to rescue the Ten Princes? You say, how many days do I need? ”
How does Fang Yan know the emperor's thoughts, although he has done a lot of things for the emperor, but the emperor's character he really can't figure it out!
"The lower officials don't know, please make it clear to the emperor!"
"At noon tomorrow, I will personally lead a pair of people to kill the kidnappers, and then bring the old ten back to the palace safely. Regardless of whether the old ten is true or not, what we will save tomorrow is the real old ten. Remember? ”
Fang Yan was taken aback, the emperor's meaning was too obvious, and the person he saved would be fine if it was the real Ten Princes. If it was fake, wouldn't the real Ten Princes be abandoned by the emperor like this? That's the emperor's own son, he said he didn't want it?
