Chapter 390: Killing People and Killing Mouths

Seeing that the King of Shu finally nodded in agreement, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. After opening the door of the secret room, he slapped the outside. With his slapping, two people came in from outside the secret room and held one unconscious, a man in black who was extremely similar to the King of Shu in height and size, and even had a somewhat similar appearance to the King of Shu.

The old man pointed to the person who was held hostage: "This is the stand-in that the old man painstakingly selected for the prince after learning that the prince was under house arrest. In order to be in order, before we leave, put this person in the prince's bedroom and light a fire. Fake the scene of the prince committing suicide by arson, in order to hide from the emperor as much as possible and buy more time for the prince. ”

Regarding the old man's arrangement, the King of Shu, who is now embattled, will naturally not agree. However, after nodding slightly, the King of Shu raised his head and looked at the old man and said, "What about the secret guard?" Do you want to go to the Western Regions with this king, or do you want to stay for the time being? There are also Lu Wentao and Yi Ying, and this king will definitely not let go. The two of them know too much, and they can't sleep well while they live. ”

At the words of the King of Shu, the old man stroked the three long beards under his chin for a long time before he sighed and said: "The secret guards in the northwest direction should be divided into two, the capable ones will be taken away, and the rest will be left." And let the people who stay find ways to grow. In the next step, the development of secret guards should focus on Longyou and Shaanxi Second Road. ”

"Henan Road and Jingzhong should also be left behind in order to spy on the movements of the imperial court. The roads in the south of the Yangtze River are going to be lurking temporarily, and they are more familiar with the south of the Yangtze River, which is unfamiliar to the northwest. Taken away, it didn't work for anything. Stay, you can spy on the movements of the Guilin County Palace. And all the rest of the people from all walks of life shall be taken away, and we shall use them in the Western Regions. ”

Speaking of this, the old man, who had always had a calm face, suddenly flashed a trace of hideousness in his eyes, and then turned flat and said: "Since Yi Ying and Lu Wentao insist on the prince, they will do what the prince wants." Some unreliable people on West Sichuan Road have been cleaned up for the prince before he came. Here in Beijing, isn't there still three days? The prince just let it go. ”

"Although the old decay has always disapproved of killing people and destroying their mouths, there are some things that must be messed up when they are constantly decided. Some people have reached this time, and it is time for them to shut up. Especially in the palace, there are many people who no longer have the need to exist. It's just that the prince, you have to be neat when you do it. It must not be discovered, it is your hand. ”

Although this old man is not the kind of person who kills extravagantly, he also knows that at this time, some people must be eliminated. Otherwise, under the condition of losing their backers, once those people are eager to take credit in front of the new master, or even bite indiscriminately, they will leak out the secrets of the King of Shu that must not be revealed.

That not only dealt the most fatal blow to the original reputation of the King of Shu in the world, but also his good reputation. No one would think that a person who kills his brother and humiliates his sister-in-law will be a holy lord. Even what the King of Shu has done over the years, once it is publicized, he is not even qualified to be a puppet. Even if the King of Shu can really fight back one day, he will lose the hearts of the people in the world.

The most important thing is that it will also bring great danger to the family members of the King of Shu who stay. I don't know how many court officials, local celebrities, and Jianghu characters who have died in the Shu kings over the years. These people can't find the king of Shu to take revenge, and it is inevitable that the disaster will not be related to the wife and children of the king of Shu. Even if the emperor doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, he will take care of and protect him in the face of several grandchildren.

But with his understanding of people's hearts, even if the emperor will not treat the family of the king of Shu badly, who can guarantee that the people below will strictly follow the emperor's requirements? Coupled with other people's secret troublemaking, I am afraid that many things will be superficial at that time. Without the protection of the King of Shu, the people below are half-hearted, and I am afraid that the family of the King of Shu will be in danger at that time.

So, even if he can't bear it, he knows that there are things that should be done and still have to be done. After the king of Shu left, the old man closed his wise eyes, and his left hand on his chest clenched and released, clenched and released. After repeating for a long time, he opened his eyes again, sighed softly, said nothing more, and quietly turned around and left the secret room.

And Concubine Shen's mother and daughter, who had just left the courtyard of the King of Shu, if they knew that the King of Shu who had just been with his mother and daughter in the same bed, would have already killed herself. Even after he left, he didn't plan to let go of his mother and daughter. What they think in their hearts, I'm afraid only they know.

It's just that what the King of Shu thinks in his heart, Concubine Shen's mother and daughter will never know. What Concubine Shen knew was that she was somewhat similar to her, and when she went out of the palace to meet the King of Shu, she stayed in the palace instead of her to confuse the eyes of others. Even the palace maid who was serving the emperor in place of her and having sex with King Jing died violently in the palace the day after she returned to the palace.

There were also two high-ranking eunuchs in the province and the palace, one of the palace eunuchs, and one of the secretaries. Two officials from the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace, and several officials from the Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Department of the Central Committee. And the eunuch in charge of the deputy capital of the Inner Servant Province, before he died of a sudden illness, had just killed the Huiren beside her with a rod in the name of privately pairing up to confuse and disturb the court.

Knowing that the deaths of these people were all the concubines of the King of Shu cleaning up those disobedient people in the palace, she didn't care too much at first. But when she was close to her in the palace, that is, the waiter next to her, was suddenly assigned to the Huanyi Bureau, and was stoned to death while cleaning the toilet that night, she was really scared.

After the stand-in died violently, there was no possibility for him to leave the palace, although Concubine Shen was trembling, but she didn't even dare to summon her mother into the palace to discuss. For fear that the King of Shu would kill his red eyes, he would even get rid of his mother and daughter. The eunuch in charge of the deputy governor of the Inner Servant Province, the eunuch raised by the palace bureau, and the Shang palace of the palace eunuch, can die quietly.

The King of Shu is in the palace, how many secrets are still hidden, and the forces that he doesn't know, Concubine Shen doesn't even dare to think about it. All she knows is that if she contacts her mother too often, she will also be on the list of the King of Shu who doubts herself and may be exposed, I am afraid that her results will not be any better. Who is the King of Shu, she knows the King of Shu too well after more than ten years.

You must know that the two eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace Bureau who died violently, one was in charge of the eunuchs and palace maids, recruiting and distributing the deputy chief eunuchs, and the other was in charge of the emperor's concubines. And the Shang Gong of the Shang Palace Supervisor can be said to be the third female official in the palace. She is in charge of the deployment of the female officials of the palace and the replacement of the palace maids. These three died violently, and they didn't even make a splash.

These three high-ranking and powerful people in the palace were killed, and Rao is Concubine Shen was so bold that she used a stand-in to fool the emperor by replacing her own bed. was so bold that he cuckolded the emperor and gave birth to an illegitimate child with his lover, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while. And before that, except for the one in charge of the emperor's concubine, she knew that it was the king of Shu, and she didn't know anything about the identities of the other two people.

It's just that Concubine Shen doesn't know that although her name is not on the cleanup list of the King of Shu. But her one who almost knows all the secrets of the King of Shu in the capital, and is the first woman after the King of Shu becomes an adult. Even in order to please her lover, even her thirteen-year-old daughter was sent to the bed of King Shu, and her father, who had always been looked down on by her, was always at the top of the list.

Her father, as the liaison between the king of Shu and the central forces after the vassal of the king. As the person who controls her father, her mother is the secret lover of the King of Shu, and she knows too many secrets that can destroy the King of Shu. And with the character of the King of Shu, unless the King of Shu really sits on the throne, he will definitely not stay.

It's just that the king of Shu, who knows that Concubine Shen is very attached to her mother, but has no good impression of her father, is worried that Concubine Shen will do something after knowing that her mother is dead. And he also needs Concubine Shen's mother to help find out what he has done in the hands of Lord Liu, who has bought the account books of officials in the DPRK and China over the years. That's why the order of solving Concubine Shen's mother was put at the last moment.

As for the Lord Liu, who already had a different heart and had already put it into action, he was not so lucky. After receiving the news from Concubine Shen's mother, that Lord Liu was simply neat and refused to hand over the news of the account book. That night, as soon as Lord Liu left Sinong Temple, he was stabbed in the chest by the palanquin man who suddenly went crazy.

The stab was so hard that Lord Liu was pierced in the chest, and he swallowed on the spot. And the sedan chair man who did it also committed suicide on the spot with the knife before the others could react. It's just that the sedan chair man left a suicide note on his body, threatening to kill his master The reason is that this Lord Liu has been fornicating with his wife, and even the three children are not his.

After discovering his wife's adultery with Lord Liu, he was originally going to divorce his wife. But that Lord Liu repeatedly threatened him not to divorce his wife, and not to have sex with his wife again. In the past few years, as a dignified man, he has suffered a lot of humiliation, and his life is even worse than that of the eunuchs in the palace, so he killed people on the street.

And the wife of the sedan chair man, before waiting for the arrest of Jingzhao Mansion to come to the door after the incident, committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in a small courtyard in Liufu that night. Since the murderer is already dead, several fellow sedan chair drivers, as well as several officials from Sinong Temple, as well as passers-by at that time, also saw it with their own eyes, and the murderer's murder can be said to be confirmed.

The personal servant of Lord Liu, as well as the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, also confirmed that there was indeed an adulterous affair between Lord Liu and the wife of the palanquin. Even for a long time, Lord Liu stayed in the woman's room in public almost all night, and did not shy away from the woman's husband and the people in the mansion at all. The whole house is just hiding from Madame.

Now that the witnesses are there, the murderer's motive for killing is already unmistakable. Those who caught fast in Jingzhao Mansion were not full of food and had nothing to do, and they also went to work hard to investigate. How could the sedan chair man, who didn't know a single word, hide such a piece on his body, write it in such detail, and even say that it is a suicide note with accusations

No one will track down, why the murderer has endured it for so many years. Why did he suddenly break out at this time, and he did something to kill people on the street. The King of Shu is really amazing, a shocking case of murder and extermination, and the case was closed so quietly. In addition to being used by the common people as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, even the emperor was not aware of the accident.

Just when the King of Shu was about to make a move and get rid of Concubine Shen's mother together. A sudden incident made the original overall plan of the King of Shu have to be terminated abruptly. Huang Qiong, who originally thought that it would take five days to return to the capital, entered the capital with King Jing's family at midnight on the second day when the King of Shu began the extermination operation.

More than 200 miles away, with a large number of women and children, the King of Shu never expected that Huang Qiong would rush back in just two days. When he received this news, the King of Shu, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Especially after learning that Huang Qiong returned to Beijing, she took Princess Jing into the palace overnight. The King of Shu, who was originally confident that everything was under control, even had a feeling of panic.
