Chapter 429: A Game Within a Game
(First update!) )
Emperor Chongde's face turned blue, and he asked angrily, "How many people have been mobilized in total?" How many people are still alive? Where are those people now? ”
These questions were what Emperor Chongde was most concerned about, and he didn't want to pay attention to them.
Hearing this question, Chang Kang immediately replied: "Jiawu came back to tell that there were twenty-five people in total, and less than ten people were alive. Now they have all fled from Wangjiang Tower and are nowhere to be found. ”
He knew that since these people had gone to Wangjiang Tower from the palace, they had already made the intention of betraying the secret guards of the palace, and it was impossible for them to return to the palace. In the end, there were still several people who escaped and disappeared, which is the most normal report.
Emperor Chongde clenched his fists, and did not have any unnecessary reactions, but his heart was churning.
Those twenty-five people, twenty-five people of the royal secret guard, must only be able to move by the teacher. But the teacher has been ignoring the royal guards for more than ten years. This time, the teacher actually moved these people. Pei Rong is just a subordinate recommended by the teacher, why would the teacher help him so much?!
"Back to the emperor, the slave thinks that it doesn't matter who Pei Rong is. The emperor was targeting the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion. This time, almost all the dead soldiers in the Chengguo Mansion were wiped out, and more than half of the people used by the emperor also died. The minions are tracking them down in full force. Chang Kang replied in detail.
Pei Rong is a person, this pair of royal masters and servants have never cared, what they care about is the covenant of Wangjianglou made through this person; All they cared about was the royal guards who appeared in the Wangjiang Tower, the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion, and those who were still alive, where they had gone now.
"What's going on in the Shen family? Did the people who were alive go to the Shen family? Emperor Chongde tried to suppress his emotions. burst out of this sentence.
He knew that those people would not go to the Shen family, but he still had this question. Wangjianglou's result, he expected, but obviously not satisfied!
"The Shen family is very quiet, and no one has seen any special people coming in and out." Chang Kang continued to reply.
With the style of acting as an emperor, once these people are moved, they will definitely not be involved in anything with the Shen family. Those royal guards did a killing in Wangjiang Tower, and then disappeared.
It's as if it's purely to deal with the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion. Unfortunately. The timing was chosen so cleverly: the emperor was suspicious of these royal dead soldiers. When it's time to prepare for further action.
Thinking of this, Chang Kang's eyes couldn't help but shrink. Although the emperor did not come out of the Shen Family's East Garden, he knew the situation very clearly. Otherwise, the timing would not have been so chosen.
It's a pity. The emperor chose the timing very well this time. It's just a coincidence that the emperor is on board. That's it. How will the emperor treat the emperor? -- Chang Kang is not sure.
Even Emperor Chongde himself is not sure. But this time, the matter of the royal secret guard has touched the bottom line of Emperor Chongde. He didn't expect that after more than ten years, Shen Su would still be able to move twenty-five royal secret guards.
For Pei Rong, for the Chengguo Mansion? Or is it for what?
Emperor Chongde didn't make up his mind for a long time, and the high candle of Zichen Hall was as bright as ever, but it couldn't shine on the emperor's heart.
Shen Su was in the east courtyard of the Shen family, staring at the light of a bean, as if he had returned to the sleepless days before the internal force was removed.
On the lower left side of him, sat Shen Du, looking at Shen Su worriedly, but he had nothing to say, and he didn't know what to say.
The results of Wangjianglou have come out, and it is the last thing they want to see. Pei Rong died, and most of the royal guards who went there died, and only ten people survived.
The only achievement was that all the dead soldiers in the Wangjiang Tower where the Chengguo Mansion was located were destroyed. But is that a happy thing? This situation of Wangjianglou has paid such a heavy price and damaged so many people's lives, Shen Du really can't be happy.
There would be such a heavy price, Shen Du didn't expect it, they missed the strength of the Cheng family...... The Cheng family, carefully speaking, is similar to the Gu family, and there are several capable officials, but the Cheng family has been on the throne because of the concubine and the prince over the years.
In the final analysis, the Cheng family has a very thin foundation, where did the dead come from?
"It's the emperor, the dead man in the potential Wangjiang Tower, the emperor's person. The Cheng family did not serve the concubine or the prince, but the emperor. The covenant of Wangjianglou is just to lure out the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion and those royal secret guards. Your Majesty, it is really much more powerful than back then. Shen Su replied with a slight smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Against the backdrop of a bean lamp, Shen Su's face became even more unpredictable, and there seemed to be a ghostly fire jumping in his eyes.
"I'm really old." Shen Su said again, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was even greater.
In this way, Shen Du also reacted, his brows furrowed, and he asked affirmatively: "Father means that the emperor has long wanted to deal with the Chengguo Mansion?" The appointment of Wangjianglou is actually a bureau set up by the emperor? ”
Shen Su nodded, the matter was so obvious, there was no need to question it at all. In fact, Shen Su believed that even Pei Rong's arrest was inseparable from the emperor's calculations. Otherwise, why did Qin Ji die for so long, and the matter of Pei Rong's corpse replacement would come out?
Without the Holy Grace and Nanfeng Hall, Qin Yi would definitely not be so well-informed. He will know about the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion, and it is Xie Dao from the Xie Family Hall who told him. Chen Liuxie is just a pawn of the emperor.
It's just the people, the ones who lurk in the royal guards. He originally thought that when the Yuan family's unjust case was rehabilitated, these people would be of great use. But...... But......
"Ahem...... cough ......" Shen Su suddenly coughed a few times, couldn't help but cover his chest with his hands, and the corners of his mouth slowly escaped a trace of red.
"Father!" Shen Du screamed urgently, and immediately stepped forward to support Shen Su, so frightened that he didn't even know that his voice was leaking.
Blood, blood in the corners of my father's mouth!
"Qu Xuan! Go to Xishan immediately and invite Mr. Zhang! Shen Du called out loudly, and then Qu Xuan, Runian and others walked in, and then the lights in the room were bright, and Shen Su's face was as white as snow.
"I'm fine, I'm in a hurry, I'm fine. You listen to my orders, Wangjianglou is just the beginning, this matter is not over yet, you go and sweep away all the hands and tails of Pei Rong, as well as those few living people, you help me settle them, you must not let them have trouble......" Shen Su wiped the bloodshot from the corners of his mouth and commanded in a deep voice.
Wangjianglou is just the beginning, he has already lost the first step, and this second part will never be tolerated. Those few people, he wants to keep them, and he wants to keep them!
(Extra: First Update!) I'm sorry to everyone, but I didn't ask for leave this time. Although it's a shame, the author's PP still has blood, and acute gastroenteritis has made me unable to sit still, and I'm sick one after another, just like a part has a problem, and others are coming one after another. (To be continued......)
