Chapter 622: Murder
"As the saying goes, wow, filial piety comes out under the stick, my eldest son and second son, from childhood to adulthood, have been beaten by me a lot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info daughter is different, my two daughters, are gentle temperament, don't bother me at all. It's just that the family is too poor, and when they get married, they don't have any decent dowry......" The old man's eyes were a little sour, obviously feeling sorry for his two daughters.
The emperor listened carefully for a long time, and then sighed and asked, "Then if the mistake is too big, it is useless to beat and scold?"
Father Chen Hu was even more surprised than the emperor, his cloudy eyes widened, obviously not understanding what he said. "This husband and wife don't have an overnight feud, do they have a father and son? How can you say that it is also the meat that fell from your own body, if you make a mistake, can you really kill him? And old man, I think that the child has lived so many years less than you, and if he makes a mistake, you have not disciplined him well. There are many people in the village who are the same age as the old man and me, but the son in the family is not worried, and if the son makes a mistake, he can count it hard, so how can it be? I can never rely on the old man to sell the old, it is my own fault, then I will bear it myself. ”
Xiao Yuzi stood aside, his face was already pale, he wanted to scold this old man for what he knew, but just as he wanted to speak, the emperor waved his hand to block it.
Maybe it was the old man's words that shocked the emperor, and then he smiled bitterly and spoke out a little open-mindedly.
"Then it seems that my son made a mistake, and my father was not good. The emperor shook his head and said.
Xiao Yuzi is eager to kill this old man now, if he didn't know the true identity of the emperor, he would have been sentenced to disobedience.
The emperor is really contemplative at the moment. The prince will rebel, and other princes will harm themselves, in the final analysis, it is also because of the reasons behind his own back, and he can't blame others.
And if he really died at the hands of which son one day, it would be a bit of a self-inflicted blame. Originally, Mu Ze executed the prince, but at this moment, he was still on fire in his heart.
I can't tell if it's disappointment or anger, but occasionally I think of the prince and his mother, who has been degraded, and I just feel that the love for decades is gone.
The old man's words can be regarded as completely untying his knot. Maybe this situation is now because he also made a lot of mistakes in his early years, and he has to make up for it.
The old man was not in good health, and the emperor did not stay here for long. Seeing that the rain was lighter, he prepared to go out for a walk.
Xiao Yuzi was holding an umbrella for the emperor, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the figures of Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze flashing at the gate.
Thinking of this pair of children, the emperor's expression was slightly complicated. Xiao Yuzi quickly prepared the umbrella, and the two of them walked behind Mu Ze and Yuan Jinyu not far away.
Mu Ze has deep internal strength, and after discovering the emperor, he was ready to come over to salute, but was stopped by the emperor. His voice came through the rain curtain: "You go yours, don't follow." ”
Mu Ze and Yuan Jinyu glanced at each other, and then turned their heads.
The emperor was still asking Xiao Yuzi at this moment: "Do you think King Ning is as compatible as the princess?"
Xiao Yuzi is Mu Ze's person, so he naturally said for the better: "The prince and the princess are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are naturally very compatible!"
The emperor looked at Jinyu's back, thinking that she was actually married as a princess, and in terms of status, she was not a royal climber.
"I think that Jinyu's kid is better than Lao Jiu. ”
Xiao Yuzi was a little frightened, is the emperor dissatisfied with His Royal Highness? Then how could the emperor have regrets about this marriage? He wouldn't want to find a better family for Jinyu, right?
But in this court, there are several princes with the highest status, and His Royal Highness has never married, Miss Jinyu married in the past, and she is the only pet of Jiaofang. Xiao Yuzi wanted to break his head, but he didn't think clearly about what the emperor meant.
Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze walked in front, and they didn't know that there was such a conversation between the emperor and Xiao Yuzi. She just thought that the emperor had checked his background clearly, would he also check Mu Ze.
Because she was puzzled, she asked Mu Ze. Mu Ze only said a lot of things, as long as he had the intention to hide it, the emperor would definitely not be able to find out, just like the prince who collaborated with the enemy at the beginning, and the emperor didn't know it in advance.
Of course, their brothers, if appropriate, will let the emperor find out something. As for the rest, Mu Ze felt that there was no need to hide it.
Yuan Jinyu will pay attention to the emperor at the moment, also because the two of them are juniors after all, and they will always be a little restrained when they get along in front of their elders.
Mu Ze seemed to understand her thoughts, and walked quickly with her for a while, and the emperor's figure was gone.
It was said that the two of them would come out for a walk, but after Yuan Jinyu felt that the rain was light, it was really hard to watch Mu Ze always review the chapters, so he thought about letting him come out and take a little rest. As for her, when she comes out, she naturally has to find a tall umbrella for herself.
Mu Ze didn't debunk her little bit of caution, just listened to the rain constantly falling on the umbrella surface, making a crackling sound. Yuan Jinyu walked beside him, and after a while, he noticed that her small cloth shoes were wet.
Mu Ze wanted to go back a little: "Your shoes will get cold if you get wet, let's go here today." ”
Yuan Jinyu was unwilling. The scenery is beautiful, and it's even more special in the rain and fog, and she doesn't mind her shoes that are already wet.
"Just go back and change it when it's wet, we've just come out." Yuan Jinyu stretched out her hand and grabbed Mu Ze's arm, she was much shorter than him, so she snuggled up to him at this moment.
Even if Mu Ze chose an umbrella and held it, he still habitually hit most of it to Yuan Jinyu's side, and half of his shoulders were soaked. If Yuan Jinyu had come closer to him, he would not have been hit by the rain.
Mu Ze still insisted: "Jinyu, you are obedient, you will get sick if your shoes are wet." ”
"Just walk a little longer, just a little longer. Yuan Jinyu enjoyed the time with Mu Ze alone, begging so much, he began to change the topic: "Regarding the emperor's poisoning, did Brother Jiu find out something?"
Mu Ze and Mu Ling brothers are very skillful, and they really found more clues.
"The person who met with Xiao Bailing is related to the King of Chu. Mu Ze was concise and to the point.
Yuan Jinyu's eyes widened, very surprised. After all, the king of Chu is still in the capital, and his hands have actually reached out to the south of the Yangtze River?
But when she thought about the events of her previous life, she was a little calm. Didn't the king of Chu last live just when he was on his southern tour? Even taking him to the mansion didn't end well.
"The king of Chu directly attacked the emperor? This doesn't make sense...... Wait, won't he be?" Yuan Jinyu held Mu Ze's hand and gradually tightened, his eyes staring at Mu Ze, as if he wanted him to verify his thoughts.
"Yes, his original intention was not to kill the emperor, but to get rid of Shen Guifei. Now he can't deal with several princes, only Mu Zhao is fledgling, so he definitely wants to take this opportunity to eradicate Shen Guifei and Mu Zhao, but since this matter is the mastermind behind the scenes, it must be found out. ”
Now that the king of Chu has become a regent, no matter whether the emperor dies or not, he can win over a group of ministers. The emperor died, and according to the sequence, he was the rightful successor. If the emperor doesn't die, Shen Guifei and Mu Zhao can be brought down by him, so no matter how you look at it, it's not a loss-making deal.
Yuan Jinyu didn't think much about it, and nodded: "Then did the ninth brother go to report to the emperor?"
Mu Ze shook his head: "Since the emperor has given me seven days, I hope that this matter can be delayed for seven days." I think he guessed in his heart who did this, not long after the crown prince was beheaded, if something happened to the king of Chu, the royal family would really wither. ”
Yuan Jinyu actually felt that the King of Chu was worth the loss. As long as he keeps to himself and supervises the country well, after the emperor goes back, he sees that he has the support of so many ministers, and maybe he will be named the prince.
Now that he is lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, if the emperor knows about this, he will definitely be furious.
"Then I'll talk to the emperor about it in seven days. Yuan Jinyu also acquiesced to Mu Ze's approach.
Mu Ze pulled her into his arms, and the two of them walked slowly in the rain, and when it was later, Yuan Jinyu shivered slightly, and Mu Ze resolutely refused to let her stay here.
But when the two of them were about to walk back, they heard a faint ballad. Yuan Jinyu only knew that it was sung by a few children, such as Lord Xia, as if the emperor was mentioned.
She glanced at the man suspiciously, and saw that Mu Ze's face had become ugly.
"What's wrong?" she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Mu Ze dragged her and ran towards the source of the voice, saying as he ran: "Those children must be stopped!
Yuan Jinyu was stunned. What the hell are those children talking about?
When he got closer, Yuan Jinyu finally heard what was being sung there. They were all singing that the emperor had killed Lord Xia by mistake, saying that the emperor was a faint king!
Yuan Jinyu looked at the children, all of whom were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and they must be the children of ordinary farmers. They are not as old as Chen Hu's eldest son, they don't know a single word, and they don't know what the nursery rhyme means here! But they actually sang it, and they sang it so loudly that they didn't even take the Son of Heaven in their eyes!
Yuan Jinyu knew that this must have been deliberately spread by someone, and these children were innocent, so she ran over and wanted to stop it, where did she think, before she could speak, she saw a man dressed as a coachman rushing directly into the pile of children, and the knives fell in his hand, and the children immediately lost their lives.
Yuan Jinyu stood in place as if he had been struck by thunder, watching the blood stains of several children stain the ground red, and then scattered along the rain, fainting into bright red flowers.
She couldn't believe her eyes, and the first reaction in her heart was not fear, but sadness.
Mu Ze knew that they were finally a step late, so he immediately turned around, hugged Yuan Jinyu into his arms, and then covered her eyes.
But Yuan Jinyu still saw it, and the emperor stood not far away with a flat face, watching all this.
