Chapter 537: The East Window Incident
Xie Xianling touched his head and comforted him: "Perhaps, things are not as bad as I thought." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the evening, I will come to the inn to find you and take you home. ”
He didn't want this little boy who escaped death to have to bear such a big responsibility.
Luyang County is not far from the capital city, and before the city gate was closed, the carriage that Xie Xian Ling and Peng Liu rode arrived at the gate of the government office. Xie County Commander instructed Peng Liu to wait in the car, and he went first to hand over the roster, first to keep the rations of the people in this county.
Not long after, he got into the car with a gloomy face, and took a grain bag to Peng Liu: "This, you put it in the baggage, and bring it to He Yushi together." ”
On this pocket, there is clearly the emblem of the Qin family's business name.
It seems that this matter must be the prince's side. At the moment, I just don't know if the prince knows.
"Peng Liu, you can't be with me anymore. If you are seen by someone with a heart, you will not escape death. ”
Peng Liu put away the empty grain bag and nodded nervously.
The carriage drove slowly forward, coming to a remote back alley. Xie Xian Ling lifted the curtain and looked at it, and ordered: "Get out of the car quickly." ”
Peng Liu had tears in his eyes, choked and kowtowed on the ground: "Take care, my lord!"
After speaking, he no longer hesitated, turned over and got out of the carriage, and disappeared with a smoke.
Xie Xian Ling closed his eyes for a short rest, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression was firm and unshakable.
"Go to the prince's mansion. ”
……
In the flower hall, a table of exquisite banquets was set up, and the prince, Master Du, and Wang Miaoyan were drinking and celebrating.
After this incident, Wang Miaoyan has become an important confidant by the prince's side. Last night, the prince handed over to her the affairs of news spies, torture and confessions.
From then on, even the officials and soldiers of the Wei Mansion had to act according to her face. As long as he thought about it, Wang Miaoyan felt excited.
"Come, Your Highness, I wish Your Highness success in the first place, and I wish your Highness success!" Wang Miaoyan said coquettishly. Tomorrow, they're going to the next place.
At this moment, someone came, and Xie County asked to see him.
What is he doing at this time?" the prince frowned.
"Your Highness, during the banquet, you were impressed by the order of Xie County. Now that the food has arrived, he must have come to thank him. Wang Miao's words were crisp and flattering.
Master Du didn't see it that way, if there was no major incident in a county order, how could he come to see the prince? However, the prince could not refrain from seeing the magistrate's request, and he could not offend this Wang Miaoyan.
How depressed she was when she first entered the mansion, and how she climbed to her current position step by step, Master Du saw it all in his eyes. If you say that just by virtue of beauty, the prince of beauties has seen so much, and none of them can be valued by him like Wang Miaoyan.
Xie Xianling strode into the flower hall, and his heart was full of tragedy and sorrow.
Seeing the prince, he knelt down and bowed, and arched his hand: "The lower official asks to see the prince, there is something unclear!" His tone was not to thank him, but more like a question.
The prince was displeased, and asked with a sinking face, "What's the matter?"
Xie Xian Ling took out an empty grain bag and presented it: "Your Highness, please take a look." ”
Master Du took it, and the prince glanced at it: "Let me see what to do with this, are you tired of being a parent official in Xie County?"
Hearing the prince's question, Xie Xianling breathed a sigh of relief, proving that the prince did not know about the murder and grain robbery case. It seems that his judgment at the reception banquet that day was not wrong.
"Your Highness, on this bag, there is the emblem of the Qin family's firm, which proves that it is the rice and grain transported by the Qin family's firm. ”
"yes, what's the matter?" the prince began to get impatient. He followed Master Du's advice and ordered the shopkeeper Sun to buy rice and grain nearby, which is estimated to be the Qin family's business name.
Xie Xian Ling took a deep breath and said categorically: "Your Highness! Five days ago, the Yuxi Township Post Station caught fire. There are more than 100 people in the Qin family's business, including the five officers and soldiers of the post station, none of them have survived and the grain carts are missing!"
"What?" Prince Huo Ran stood up: "There is such a thing?"
Master Du and Wang Miaoyan looked at each other, such a big thing, Shopkeeper Sun didn't say anything when he came back?
"Go, call me that bold shopkeeper Sun!" exclaimed the prince. More than 100 lives! He still thinks that Shopkeeper Sun is doing a good job, so is this how he does it?
Shopkeeper Sun came over to see this formation, and he knew that the incident at the east window had happened, and he knelt down tremblingly.
"Say it!" Wang Miaoyan asked suspiciously.
"The prince spares his life! It's all to blame for the stubbornness of the shopkeeper Guo, I am willing to pay 20% higher than the market price to buy, but he still doesn't want to. Captain Chen, that's right! That's what Captain Chen said, it's better to kill people and grab food, and make sure that it is done seamlessly!"
Glancing at the Xie County Order kneeling next to him, Shopkeeper Sun wondered, isn't it seamless?
Master Du sighed in his heart, these fools! They didn't even change the pockets for grain, and the post station caught fire for no reason, so it was easy to think of a piece.
Xie Xianling's eyes were red, and he pointed at the shopkeeper Sun and said: "You have lost your conscience! Just for such a trivial matter, you can kill people and set fires? Those more than 100 lives are so innocent!"
After saying that, he turned to the prince: "Your Highness begs Your Highness to be the master of the people." ”
Shopkeeper Sun defended again and again: "How is this a trivial matter? Then the Qin family's business did not have any good intentions when it brought grain at this time, and it must have been sold at a high price! Such a black-hearted businessman, what is wrong with us killing him and letting the people of Yizhou eat?"
The prince's anger rose, and Sun was in charge! He had endured him for a long time.
Stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword at his waist, and took advantage of his anger to send it forward, and the shopkeeper Sun screamed miserably, and he was pierced through the heart. His body fell to the ground and gradually lost his breath.
Xie Xianling was shocked, he never expected that the prince would be so decisive and ruthless.
Seeing this, Wang Miaoyan whispered in the prince's ear: "Your Highness, this county order can't get out alive." More than a hundred lives, even if it is not instructed by Your Highness, but who knows how he will report it? When the time comes, the news reaches the ears of King Qi, and I am afraid that he will make a big fuss. ”
The prince's heart is horizontal, one is to kill, and the other is also to kill! On this errand, he was already guilty of meritorious service, and once this major murder case was known to his father, Guan Jinghuan was powerless to return to heaven.
He beckoned to Xie Xianling and smiled slightly: "You come here." This hall wants to thank you for coming to tell me, only to know that such a big thing happened under your hands!"
Xie Xian Ling did not doubt him, and slowly stepped forward, and was about to give up his hand to speak, when a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "poof", and the tip of the sword pierced through his back. His eyes widened, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the prince: "You...... You dare to kill an official! What kind of prince are you in the grass and the people's lives!"
With a roar of rage, his head drooped down, and his body fell to the ground with a "grunt".
The last thought in his mind was that he had fortunately taken an empty grain bag to testify, and the prince would not have thought that there would be anyone to testify.
