025 Bearing the Guilt
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people are few and there are many people. Hit it three times a day, and don't wait for it. This sentence is the words engraved on the exposed stone tablet.
Although the characters are ancient, those craftsmen who turned out the stone tablets may not recognize them all, but the people who come to the Fujiwang Mansion to pay tribute today are all the powerful people of Fujicheng, how can they not recognize them.
"Lord Wang, it's been hot lately, my old mother will always have chest tightness and shortness ......of breath, and I can't rest assured as a child," a little fat man in a red brocade robe stood beside King Teng, wiping the sweat on his forehead and said, "I, I'll retire first." ”
King Teng didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard what the fat man was saying, and his eyes were glued to the stone tablet from beginning to end, and he didn't move.
The fat man saw that King Teng didn't react, he trembled and looked at King Teng out of the corner of his eye for a while, before turning around and walking outside.
"Lord Wang, my in-law is nine months pregnant, and I always feel nauseous when it is hot, so I will go back first." A thin man quickly said goodbye to King Teng, turned around and walked out.
In a moment, the guests of the Vine King Mansion walked cleanly, even those craftsmen, all carrying their own tools, quickly making birds and beasts scattered, and the entire Vine King Mansion seemed to be shrouded in thick clouds, quiet and depressing.
"Father......" Seeing that King Teng had not spoken for a long time, the second prince couldn't help but ask: "What should we do now?" ”
"What should I do...... King Teng waved his sleeves suddenly: "I don't know who has such great ability, burying this kind of thing in my Teng King's Mansion, and letting it break through the ground in front of so many people!" ”
"Chu Heng, Chu Heng! It's her ......" The eldest lady seemed to have suddenly grasped a life-saving straw, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Bring me that damn maid!" ”
King Teng frowned and looked at the eldest lady with a trace of doubt in his eyes: "What maid?" ”
Fu Bai hurriedly stepped forward and told King Teng about the events of the past two days, and at the end she added: "This Chu Heng is the daughter of Chu Sanye, and the stone tablet was also buried by Chu Sanye. ”
After listening to Fubai's words, King Teng's eyes were full of anger, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the Qianjialou where he lived: "Call Chu San to see me!" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Sanye appeared at the door of Qianjialou.
This Qianjia Tower is a three-story small building, and it is the most heartfelt place in the Fujiwang Mansion. There are countless armors hidden in the building, some of which are left by the ancestors, those who are rewarded by the emperor, and those that are collected by the people, all of which are rare treasures. And here, it is also the residence of King Teng.
The door of Qianjialou was wide open, but there was no one there, King Teng was sitting on the main seat on the first floor drinking tea, and Ji Chen, the prince of the world, was sitting on the left hand of King Teng.
Chu Sanye stepped into the threshold tremblingly, and he looked up at King Teng, who was leaning back in his chair with two stone longevity balls in his hands.
"Lord Wang......" Third Master Chu took two steps forward and fell to his knees with a pop: "The slave has caused a monstrous disaster, and the crime deserves death." ”
"Where's your daughter?" King Teng's voice was as cold as ice.
"Minions deserve to die." Chu Sanye slammed his head to the ground: "Heng'er, I'll let her go." ”
"You dare!" King Teng threw the longevity ball on the table next to him with a bang, and stood up suddenly: "This king has left you in Fujicheng all these years, but you have grown your ability!" ”
"It's all the minions' fault, Heng'er, she just saw that the Fujiwang Mansion was plagued by the disaster of the heavenly fire, so she came up with an idea, she had good intentions, but the only thing to blame was the minions, and it was the minions' negligence that made people steal the stele and replace the pillars." Chu Sanye kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the ground under his forehead was already bloodstained in a short time.
"Chu San......" King Teng's voice sank: "This king naturally knows that you will not collude with outsiders to frame the palace, but I don't know if your righteous daughter is innocent or not." ”
Chu Sanye was still kowtowing his head, and the sound of the skull hitting the ground was terrifying.
"Alright." King Teng took two steps forward and reached out to grab Chu Sanye's arm, stopping him from continuing to kowtow: "Now that this kind of thing has happened in the palace, I am afraid that the capital will get the news soon, and this king must deal with this matter before the queen mother embarrasses the vine palace." ”
Chu Sanye hurriedly raised his head, with a glimmer of light in his eyes: "Does the prince have a solution to this matter?" ”
"Resolved? Where is it so easy. The prince straightened up, and a touch of coldness appeared in his eyes: "This matter is because of you, so this king needs you to carry him down." ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Sanye had confusion in his eyes: "Please also ask the prince to speak bluntly, as long as Chu San can do it, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not hesitate." ”
"I will send someone to block the news of the stone tablet of the palace, and at the same time will send someone to escort you into Beijing, you must rush before the rumors enter the capital, and admit everything in front of the emperor, the sin is all your own work, in order to keep the Tengwang Mansion safe."
"This ......" Chu Sanye was stunned for a moment: "Let the slave confess the slave is naturally willing, but I am afraid that the emperor and the queen mother may not believe ......"
"You just do that, and you don't have to worry about the rest." King Teng sneered: "It's just that there is no such thing, the emperor and the queen mother have long seen that my vine palace is not pleasing to the eye, this king asked you to do this, but I don't want the vine palace to be too passive." ”
"Okay, the minions all listen to the prince." Chu Sanye kowtowed to King Teng again: "Time is pressing, the slave will leave immediately." ”
King Teng nodded, reflexively returned to the main seat and sat down.
Chu Sanye kowtowed again, then got up, and when he was about to go out, he looked back at King Teng again: "Lord Wang, the little girl Chu Heng has a miserable background, and she has nothing to do with this matter, can the prince spare the little girl's life?" ”
King Teng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "This king has already sent someone to arrest her, if she is really innocent, judging by your performance, she may be exempted from the death penalty." ”
Third Master Chu nodded, turned around and walked out of the Qianjia Building.
In the Qianjia Building, the prince Ji Cheng handed King Teng a cup of tea: "Dad, don't worry too much, my Teng family army is more than 100,000 people, and the queen mother and the little tyrant dare not touch us." ”
"It's not that simple." King Teng took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and began to spin his longevity ball again: "The old witch of the Queen Mother is a madman, you have to be careful, don't let her find out that you are cheating to death, otherwise I am afraid that she will come up with tricks to harm you again." ”
"Yes, my son understands."
"Also, let your second brother be careful, don't follow the way of this old witch." King Teng sneered, and said: "I think this old witch is holding back her bad and wants to make my Teng family extinct, so she took the military power without much effort." ”
"Then my father thinks that this time the stele incident is not a ghost in the palace?" Ji Cheng asked King Teng.
King Teng hesitated: "** Don't leave ten, you still have to check it carefully." ”
Ji Cheng nodded: "My son will send someone to investigate." ”
"Let Su Yun go, things have been turbulent recently, don't show up recently."
Ji Cheng nodded: "My son understands." ”
Just as the father and son were talking, the little servant Shen Hua ran in: "Lord Wang, Lord Shizi, I have found Chu Heng." ”
