Chapter Thirty-Nine: Murder on the Throne
Xiang Yiquan arranged the positions of Weiyang and Weixian, and asked someone to pour tea, and sat down himself, but for a while, he didn't speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Weiyang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said coldly: "Uncle Xiang, if you have something to say, let's say it!" You know the purpose of our visit, and if it weren't for a big deal, my father wouldn't have let us come here. ”
Xiang Yiquan said with a flattering face: "Yes, yes...... Originally, I didn't want to trouble the two princes, but now the people are full of grievances, and there are so many traitors in the capital city, and the position of the old body is ...... There's a good chance I won't be able to keep it......"
Weiyang smiled coldly and said with some sarcasm: "You are a good official, how can the people be resentful?" If the people are not well-founded, I am afraid that they will ...... Nor will it be directed at you. ”
Xiang Yiquan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yes...... Just ......"
"Because your official origin is untrue or not, and if Jingrun's death is unclear, of course the people are suspicious......" The uninjured man on the side also said with a little mockery.
Xiang Yiquan was stunned for a moment, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his face: "This ...... If Jingrun he ......"
Weiyang's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Yiquan: "Before I came here, I heard some rumors. If the city lord loves the people like a son, there is no one in this Yunhua City who has a deep hatred, but now he has been destroyed by traitors...... If Jingrun dies, this Yunhua will not have any benefits, there is only one, and that is the one who will take the position for him - you. ”
Xiang Yiquan was taken aback, quickly knelt down, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian!" ”
Weiyang sneered and said, "You recommended yourself to your father in a letter, saying that you want to be the city lord of Yunhua, and it has nothing to do with us. It's a pity that you added a sentence at the end of the letter, asking your father to send a dignified person, saying that it was to show the emperor's grace, but in fact, you want to use us to declare your status, and those who have connections with the royal family have a lot of power in their hands, so as to scare away those who are prejudiced against you, don't you say? My father remembered his friendship with you, and although he had doubts in his heart, he also sent us, which can be regarded as giving you enough face. What the little nephew wants to say is that Uncle Xiang is an extremely smart person, and he has long understood what to do and what not to do, but if you don't say it today......
Xiang Yiquan hurriedly trembled and said, "It's all because the old body is too greedy...... It's also imprudent! ”
"Tell me about it." Weiyang sneered and said with interest.
Xiang Yiquan sighed and said: "Ruo Jingrun and I turned out to be close friends, and the relationship is also strong...... I was invited to his house for a drink that night......"
The moonlight was clear, and Ruojingrun and Xiang Yiquan were playing chess and drinking in the courtyard of Ruofu. Just after a few cups, it happened that Ruo Jingrun would be Xiang Yiquan's army again, his face was full of red light, and he said drunkly: "Brother Xiang...... Look, I'm in your army again, hehehe......"
Xiang Yiquan said with a displeased face: "Alas! On chess, I can't beat you! But in other ways, you can't beat me! ”
Ruo Jingrun "hahaha" smiled heartlessly, and said more energetically: "Hey! How can I say that! I've won you over in other ways! For example, as an official, I became the city lord of Yunhua...... What about you? It's nothing yet! ”
The more Xiang Yiquan listened, the more unhappy he became, thinking that if I didn't want to be an official, I wouldn't know where I would do it now! As long as I tell the emperor, with my friendship with the emperor, and the fact that I have done so many unknown things for him in the past few years, why not make an official bigger than you! As soon as the fire came up, the words were said politely: "What is nothing now?" Let me tell you, if I want to be an official, I can be an official, and I must be better than you! ”
"Hahaha...... Don't talk big, you have the ability, you come to be my city lord of Yunhua, can you do it? Ruo Jingrun said drunkly.
"Why not? I can do it if I want to! "Xiang Yiquan is also on alcohol, how could a person who is as cautious as he usually says such a thing?
"Hmph," Ruo Jingrun was also drunk, and his temper came up, and his words became more and more wrong: "It's up to you?" I tell you, if I don't die for a day, you won't be the lord of the city! Why, it turns out that you have long had ambitions! Want to be the city lord of this Yunhua? Let's go in the next life! ”
"You want to die?" Xiang Yiquan's eyes suddenly turned red, and his right hand began to touch the hilt of the sword.
"If you have the ability, you will kill me, I want to see, how can you be better than me!" Ruo Jingrun pointed to the tip of Xiang Yiquan's nose and sneered.
"If you want to die, I'll fulfill you!" Xiang Yiquan couldn't control the blood surging up his head anymore, so he pulled out his knife and slashed forward, and a deep blood mark appeared on Ruo Jingrun's neck. If Jing Run's eyes widened and he didn't have time to speak, he fell straight down.
"Huh?" Xiang Yiquan immediately came to his senses and threw away the sword in his hand, "I killed someone?" I killed someone! ”
"Ahh Killed, come on, he killed the city lord! A servant girl passing by, saw this scene, and hurriedly shouted in a panic.
Xiang Yiquan heard her voice, and the fear in his heart also surged up, his future must not be ruined here! Yes, yes, kill people, kill people! Xiang Yiquan's eyes turned red again, and he saw a group of people rushing towards him, but who was he? He is strong in martial arts, who are these people his opponents? Xiang Yiquan only relied on a knife and a delirious mind to take the lives of twenty-one people in Ruofu.
Xiang Yiquan knelt on the ground, and was stunned by what he had done. He stood up suddenly, checked the people in Ruofu, and found that no one was alive, so he changed into a set of clothes of the man in black and sneaked out of Ruofu.
"What happened...... That's it. Xiang Yiquan lowered his head in sweat and finished talking about this incident.
"Smack!" Weiyang threw the teacup in his hand on the ground and said fiercely: "Xiang Yiquan, do you know what you did!" ”
"The old body knows, the old body knows! It's just that I was really drunk at the time...... Doing such a damn thing! Xiang Yiquan showed a look of regret for not being at the beginning.
"Hmph, then why did you still ask your father to be the city lord of this Yunhua? If you feel guilty, how can you do this! Weixian smiled coldly, shook his head, and said with disdain.
Xiang Yiquan smiled and said, "After all, this Yunhua needs to be managed, old body...... I think that being able to take on this great responsibility can be regarded as atonement......"
Weiyang stood in front of the door and said coldly: "In the final analysis, you are narrow-minded, and then you are greedy for the rich treasures of Yunhua, what excuse do you find...... What else do you talk about loyalty, righteousness, affection and righteousness. Listen, if it weren't for the fact that you have a deep relationship with your father, and your father can't do without you at the moment, otherwise," Weiyang turned his head and glanced at Xiang Yiquan coldly, and sneered: "You know. ”
"Yes, yes...... I got it, I got it! Xiang Yiquan nodded profusely, and was about to say something to make the two princes happy, when he suddenly thought of something, so he said flatteringly: "There will be a big banquet in Yishui Garden tomorrow night, celebrities from all over the world will come, and those girls in Yishui Yuan are not only good-looking, but their talents are also impressive!" It will definitely satisfy the two princes! ”
Weiyang turned his head and was about to refuse, but Weixian on the side said with a smile: "Okay! Yishui Garden is a famous green building here, but it is worth seeing, Brother Wang, let's go. Weiyang saw that the uninjured Huahua's intestines had committed again, so he had to rely on him and nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, the old man is going to pick the best seat in the entire Yishui Garden!" Xiang Yiquan saw that the sycophant was effective, and hurriedly called someone to order.
