Chapter 256 Book of Repentance
Gonggong Guo knew that there was a lot of water in Xu Zhilan's words, but he nodded solemnly and said: "What King Yangtao said is extremely true, if the person who surrenders to sincerity is killed by King Qin and spreads out, others will think that my Dahua has no room for people!" ”
"It's just that the matter was urgent at that time, and His Royal Highness Yang Tao was afraid that something would happen to Keqing and Miss Xiang'er, so he resorted to a bitter plan, and was seen by the people of Jinling. Now that it is said that the girls of Keqing have already surrendered, I am afraid that the people of Jinling will find it difficult to accept. It's better that King Yangtao said that on the way back to Yangtao County, he moved with affection and reason, and influenced Keqing and Miss Xiang'er, and finally Miss Keqing led a cadre of old troops living in Yangtao Wangfu to surrender to King Yangtao. ”
Xu Zhilan nodded to General Wu and said, "Just according to what General Wu said!" The king asked them to write a letter of repentance and asked General Wu to bring it to the emperor. ”
General Wu asked Xu Zhilan for the specific number of people, and said to Xu Zhilan: "Your Royal Highness Yangtao, according to the usual practice, people who surrender to Cheng will be arranged to live in a designated place, I don't know what His Royal Highness Yangtao has for these people?" ”
Xu Zhilan knows that the people who come over to Toucheng need to be centrally managed to prevent these people from disagreeing again! But Lan Keqing and these people surrendered to him, so he had to be responsible, at least he had to watch them. In this way, Lan Keqing and these people can only go to Jinling to live, and there is no other choice! He said depressedly: "Anyway, there are not many of them, so let's put them near Jinling." The house of the original Sitong Dart Bureau is still empty, and it can accommodate many people. And not far from the Sitong Dart Bureau is the forbidden army camp, there will be no problems in terms of security, and there is also an explanation to the outside world. ”
Guo Gonggong asked: "How to arrange Princess Naxi?" ”
Xu Zhilan is a man's business, few people know, if Xi'er is left in Yangtao County, without these people from Hualan Country by her side, Xi'er stays alone in Yangtao County, and is found out that she is pregnant, it will be more troublesome! can take Xi'er to Jinling, she has to live in the East Palace, there are many people, and it is rumored that the princess of the prince has been made belly bigger, which is ...... The face can be thrown out of the country.
Guo Gonggong saw that Xu Zhilan hesitated, and did not urge, saying that Yangtao County was very well governed by Xu Zhilan, and he asked General Wu to go out to visit together.
On the night of the 24th day of the first lunar month, when the lights were on, Luo Shixun came to Xujiatun with officers and soldiers, and gathered a group of orchid women disguised as subordinates of the palace in a small courtyard of the palace for registration.
When the registered army clerk went to Xiaojie, a soldier was replaced to take over, this soldier may usually be very depressed, not to speak, but also to use his hands and feet, flirting with a beautiful orchid woman, disagreeing, having a physical conflict, and finally fighting.
The orchid people thought that the officers and soldiers were deliberately looking for a way to kill them, so they panicked and prepared to escape with a bloody path, and a scuffle broke out.
Xu Zhilan and Lan Keqing hurriedly ran over when they heard the news, and when they saw this scene, he shouted: "Stop it all for this king, otherwise, the three clans will be punished!" ”
Everyone stopped, and after asking about the situation, Xu Zhilan came to the soldier who was molesting the woman with a cold face.
"King Yangtao, I, I'm ......"
Xu Zhilan couldn't think of a good way to arrange Xi'er'er, he was on the fire, looking at the soldiers and orchid women who were killed and wounded in the melee on the ground, he didn't allow the other party to finish explaining, and slapped his palm on his head, the soldier didn't even struggle and convulsed, he died!
With a cold face, Xu Zhilan's cold and sharp gaze swept around everyone's faces, and said loudly: "They are the people of this king, not some indiscriminate women, whoever talks nonsense and moves their hands and feet, this is the end!" ”
The soldiers were trembling with fright, Xu Zhilan's eyes finally fell on Luo Shixun's face, and he said coldly: "General Luo, this is the soldier you brought?" ”
"The lowly subordinates are not strict, and there is no way to discipline them, please punish King Yangtao!"
Luo Shixun is the emperor's confidant, and Xu Zhilan is not good at blaming him, so he snorted coldly, and Xu Zhilan turned to leave.
"Xi'er!" A heart-rending cry streaked across the night sky!
Hearing Xu Zhilan's miserable scream, Luo Shixun was shocked, he didn't care about registering work, pulled out his waist knife, and rushed in the direction of the sound.
Lan Keqing and the orchid woman who was about to register followed Luo Shixun to Xu Zhilan's boudoir.
"There is a kind, you come out for me! What kind of ability is it to kill Xi'er, there is a kind of you coming at me! ”
Everyone saw the crazy Xu Zhilan kick open the door one by one, looking for the assassin who killed Xi'er like crazy.
"Pass the order down and arrest all suspicious people inside and outside the palace!"
After Luo Shixun ordered the officers and soldiers he brought, Lan Keqing issued an order from the head of the palace, and all the female disciples of the orchid looked for them separately.
"Boss, go and see if the assassins have left any traces."
Lan Keqing understood that it was inconvenient for Luo Shixun to enter the women's boudoir, so she nodded and came to Xi'er'er's room, which was smelly and disgusting, and the ground was very wet, exuding the smell of aqua regia.
Xu Zhilan was now delirious, and Lan Keqing told Luo Shixun the results of the analysis.
"General Luo, the assassin is someone who Princess Xi doesn't know, and after the princess found out that someone was suspicious, she splashed the royal water in the room on the assassin, and the assassin should have splashed the royal water on his body. Later, the Assassin killed the princess with his sword and splashed her with royal water. ”
"The princess's room, how can there be royal water?" Luo Shixun asked puzzled.
Lan Keqing explained with emotion: "Back then, King Yangtao and the princess were lonely and helpless, and they bought Wang Shui and put it in the boudoir for self-defense, and this habit has been retained by the princess to this day. In the princess's room, there have always been two jars of royal water. ”
Luo Shixun was stunned for a few seconds, and said: "Now that the king of Yangtao is delirious, in order to prevent Yangtao from being injured when he touches Wang Shui, you will deal with the princess's body first, and I will arrange for people to search for people in the whole city to arrest those who were burned by Wang Shui!" ”
The large-scale search and arrest operation began, Guo Gonggong and General Wu were drinking with Vice Prime Minister Liu and others outside, and when they heard that Princess Xi had been killed, everyone threw down the dishes and chopsticks and hurried to the palace.
After tossing around in the palace like crazy, and quietly sobering up, the biggest suspects Xu Zhilan could think of were Guo Gonggong and General Wu, but not long after, these two palace ministers came back with a large group of wine-filled ministers.
Xu Zhilan endured the raging anger in his heart, did not have a seizure for the time being, and watched Lan Keqing arrange for his cronies to wrap Xi'er'er's body in a quilt and put it in the coffin. He just stood by the coffin quietly, thinking back to the bits and pieces of being with Xi'er in the past.
Xi'er is an orphan, she was sold to the Xu family as a personal girl since she was a child, and later silently became his woman, in the past few years after his reincarnation, Xi'er has lived a good life, but basically every day is a life of fear, drinking expensive as a princess, I'm afraid I didn't live happily for a few days.
Xu Zhilan felt very sorry for Xi'er, and when he came to this world, the person he was most sorry for was Xi'er.
The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, the more he thought about it, the more he hated, if he knew that it was Xu Zhao who instructed Guo Gonggong or General Wu to kill Xi'er, he would not hesitate to kill Xu Zhao! Suddenly, he thought of something, quickly untied the soul bell on his wrist, broke Xi'er'er's already cold and stiff fingers, and stuffed the soul bell into it.
