Chapter 36 King Cheng of the Great Zhou

Before you know it, it has reached the lunar month, and the snow is falling even more, and if this snow falls for a few days in a row this year, it will become a snow disaster. www.biquge.info After dark, no one wants to go out, and only a dilapidated carriage is running the empty street. Finally stopped in front of a remote house on the edge of the city, and two people got out of the car, both in black cloaks and black cotton robes, wrapping the whole person tightly, only revealing the lower half of his face. The two of them walked to the door with a white mist and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door creaked open, poked out a head and looked left and right, beckoning the two to enter.

Entering the room, in addition to the outer robes, the young man with a slightly dark face and a handsome appearance by the fire stood up and walked to a man in black on the left and arched his hand: "Cui Shuyan has seen His Royal Highness King Cheng." Then he said to the man on the right: "General Cao." The man arched his hand to Cui Shuyan and said, "Little Marquis." ”

The three of them sat around the fire, and the one who brought people in just now was the personal guard Tietou next to Cui Shuyan, who brought a pot of tea for the three of them and retreated, and stayed outside the door alone, paying attention to the situation outside, and never leaving.

King Cheng Murong An was dressed in a neat night robe, and at this time, in addition to the cloak and robe covering his body, his slightly thin and cold face was revealed.

Cui Shuyan said with a straight face: "Sure enough, as expected by His Royal Highness King Cheng, there are indeed ghosts in Yongzhou, and General Liu, the uncle of the King of Thailand, is stationed in Yongzhou City, and the county in Jiangning City is Zhao Yuan, the third son of Zhao Bonian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. ”

King Cheng looked at the firelight and turned to look at Cui Shuyan and said, "Shuyan, I heard that you were injured this time, but what was the injury?" ”

Cui Shuyan chuckled and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's just some skin injuries, and it's been healed a long time ago." ”

The corners of King Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, and the whole person softened in the firelight, he stared at Cui Shuyan and said, "It's okay if you're fine, otherwise I will be asked how to explain to the Marquis of Anxin." ”

Cui Shuyan took out a thing from his arms and handed it to King Cheng, King Cheng took it and looked at it, it was a waterproof paper bag, opened it lightly, and there was a map inside, drawing several mountains, the route and place names were clearly marked, the military layout on the mountain was described in detail, and a portrait of a bearded man wearing a general's uniform was also attached.

King Cheng's face became solemn, stared at Cui Shuyan and said, "Shuyan, why does this person look so familiar?" ”

Cui Shuyan also said with a straight face: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has good eyesight, yes, this person is Wang Yong, the companion of the former King of Thailand, since he was drunk and lost his temper at the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the King of Thailand five years ago, he was kicked out of the house by the King of Thailand, but he didn't expect to appear in Jiangning, Yongzhou." After speaking, the two glanced at each other thoughtfully, and they both saw the word "clear" in each other's eyes, so it was.

After being silent for a while, Cui Shuyan asked, "His Royal Highness King Cheng, what do you think of now?" The general Cao on the side also looked at King Cheng.

King Cheng did not answer, picked up a piece of black charcoal from the charcoal basket and threw it into the red-hot fire, and with a clatter, a puff of white smoke came out, and quickly dispersed, disappearing in the air, leaving only a smell of glue, but it also quickly disappeared.

After a moment of silence, King Cheng raised his eyes and said to Cui Shuyan: "Shuyan, what do you think of my eldest brother?" ”

Cui Shuyan "snorted" and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Thailand is gloomy and likes to torture people the most, I heard that in recent years, more and more palace maids have been tortured to death by him. I sent people to investigate, there are always a few days a month in the palace of the king of Thailand in the dead of night when there are carriages out of the city, they pull the carriage to the short pine forest outside the city five miles slope, dig a pit and bury the people on the carriage, and when they have gone away, our people go to dig it out and take a look, and the boss is shocked, all of them are young women who have been whipped to death, all naked, and their bodies and faces are covered with many terrible old and new scars, apparently tortured to death. The death was horrific. ”

General Cao also came over and said: "Yes, Your Majesty has also heard a little about this matter, and I heard that an old lady dreamed that her daughter died and told her that she had no clothes to wear when she died, and she felt so cold." Her daughter was selected into the palace when the king of Thailand chose the singer, and there was no deed of sale, so she was free. When the eldest lady woke up, she was uneasy and went to the palace of the king of Thailand to look for her daughter, but the housekeeper Langbu said that the singer had been favored by the king of Thailand and accepted as a concubine, so she gave the eldest lady fifty gold, saying that it was her daughter's money from selling her body, and sent her away. The eldest lady wanted to see her daughter, and Langbu said that the aunt is now the concubine of the king of Thailand, and she can't follow anyone, and in the end, the eldest lady had no choice but to cry and go home while holding her daughter's money. ”

King Cheng closed his eyes and asked again, "Oh! Do many people know about this kind of thing? ”

General Cao said: "This is a secret news, who dares to spread it indiscriminately, according to the subordinates, only some people in the DPRK and China know about it, but it is only to talk to friends in private, and it will not be publicized everywhere." ”

King Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "The more people who know about this kind of thing, the better, but these people who know must not be people in the court." ”

General Cao was puzzled, his face was puzzled, and he looked like he was thinking hard, Cui Shuyan saw this, smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has a good plan, but aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Thailand will know about it that day, and he will completely turn against you?" Won't it be too fast? ”

King Cheng sneered and said, "A person like him is not worthy of being my eldest brother at all. ”

King Cheng stood up and turned his back to Cui Shuyan and said, "Yesterday, Concubine De told this king that the emperor has summoned the imperial doctor six times in the past month, two more than in previous months. After saying that, without saying a word, he walked out, walked to the door, and stopped, General Cao hurriedly stepped forward to put on a black robe and cloak for His Royal Highness King Cheng, and the two of them saw that it was only dark to see.

King Cheng glanced back at Cui Shuyan before leaving, and saw that he had already stood up, facing himself, with a long body and a clear black and white eyeball, and he didn't say anything more, pushed open the door and walked out.
