Chapter 954: The Situation Is Serious
Looking at Tang Ning's sinking face, cold sweat began to ooze from Shangshu's forehead.
It was none other than the Lord of the Western Regions who was caught in the Criminal Department, who was on the same level as His Majesty.
Not to mention that he is very likely to be framed, even if he is really involved in a life lawsuit, it is not something that the Criminal Department can handle.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "The lord of the country is angry, this official will definitely investigate this matter strictly and give you an explanation......
After speaking, he looked at the head catcher, his face sank, and he said angrily: "Say, what the hell is going on!" ”
This matter is not something he can handle, and he can't hold it back, the only thing he can do is to find out the ins and outs of the matter before His Majesty surrenders.
The catcher knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's Childe!" ”
……
When Wang Shizi and his entourage came to the Criminal Department, a young man stepped forward, looked at the officials of the Criminal Department, and asked, "What about the people who caught the Criminal Department just now?" ”
The catcher said quickly: "In Shangshuya." ”
"No......" the young man's face showed surprise, "even my father was alarmed by this matter?" ”
The catcher quickly glanced up at him, then quickly lowered his head, and said, "My lord asked Gongzi to go to Shangshuya too." ”
The suspicion on the young man's face was unabated, and when he walked towards Shang Shuya, he was worried in his heart, if he let his father know that he used the official servants of the Criminal Department to use his power for personal gain, he would definitely not have any good fruit to eat.
But fortunately, today's event is still dedicated to the prince of the king, this is a big man who really wants to tie up, he should turn a blind eye.
He walked into Shang Shuya, looked up, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to his brain, and the whole person shivered.
I saw that in Shang Shuya, the lord of the criminal department, his father, who was usually terrified, stood below with his hands down, and the young man who was caught by him in the criminal department was sitting firmly on the main seat, drinking good tea that even his father was usually reluctant to drink.
If he hadn't seen the emperor before, he would definitely think that the other party was His Majesty the Emperor.
"Rebel, kneel down for me!"
The roar of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department made the young man's body tremble, plop, and kneel on the ground without hesitation.
Even his father was only standing in front of that person, where did he dare to resist at all?
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department glared at him and said angrily: "Don't hurry up and make amends to the lord of the country!" ”
"The lord of the country?" The young man was in a state of fright, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face when he heard this, and he blurted out: "What country lord?" ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward, slapped him on the head, and said angrily: "This is the Lord of Xiaowan, what happened just now, you tell me honestly!" ”
"Small, Xiaowan Country Lord......" The young man's body trembled again, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Tang Ning.
After the unification of the Western Regions, compared to their Chu State, he was not much more worried, and he actually brought the Lord of Xiaowan to the Criminal Department just now, what is the difference between this and him letting His Majesty be arrested?
In just an instant, he clearly realized that this matter was definitely not something he could bear.
The next moment, he immediately spoke: "It's His Royal Highness the Prince of the World......"
Xianwang Shizi, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropping, shook his body, his face was gloomy, and he cursed secretly.
He didn't expect that the passerby who had clashed with him was actually the lord of Xiaowan. The dignified lord of Xiaowan is not staying in the Western Regions, what are you doing in Chu State?
In his heart, he scolded the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department for being bloody, but he was unwilling to stay in the Criminal Department for longer, so he turned his head and walked out with a calm face.
Returning to his temporary residence in Kyoto, King Xian saw that his face was ugly, and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?" ”
"It's really unlucky...... "Xianwang Shizi waved his hand and said, "I accidentally provoked the lord of that Xiaowan country......"
"What?" When King Xian heard this, his face changed greatly, and he asked, "How did you offend him?" ”
He had just received the news that the lord of Xiaowan had come to Chu State, and in less than an hour, his son had actually provoked him?
The prince of Xianwang glanced at him and said, "Isn't it just a small country in the Western Regions, father, are you making such a fuss?" ”
"What a big breath!" King Xian pointed at him and said angrily: "It's still a small country in the Western Regions, do you know that Xiaowan has unified the Western Regions, and the identity of their lord is the same as Your Majesty, don't say that you are not the emperor yet, even if you really become the emperor, you are not qualified to say what you just said!" ”
Xian Wang Shizi's face became gloomy and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
King Xian pointed at him, but in the end he just waved his hand and said, "Say, how did you offend him!" ”
The matter involving the lord of Xiaowan is the matter of the Chu State and the Western Regions, even if it is a small matter, it will become a big event.
After the reunification, Xiaowan is so powerful, even the Chu State does not dare to underestimate it, and it is a major event that is beneficial to the country to establish diplomatic relations with Xiaowan.
At this time, if he offends the lord of Xiaowan and destroys the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he will apologize to the people of the whole country......
Even if he is a prospective prince, he cannot afford such a responsibility.
The prince of Xianwang finally realized the seriousness of the matter, his complexion changed, and he told the grievances with the lord of Xiaowan 1510, including when he was in Xianzhou, he fell in love with the woman next to the lord of Xiaowan, mobilized the defenders of Xianzhou, and besieged them......
After hearing this, King Xian's body shook, and he stood up straight with his chair, looked at him with a sad and angry look, gritted his teeth and said: "Molesting the princess of Xiaowan and besieging and killing the lord of Xiaowan ......, what else do you dare not do?" ”
Xianwang Shizi was also aggrieved in his heart, if he had known that person was the lord of Xiaowan, he would not have offended him without opening his eyes, after all, in his eyes, nothing is as important as his throne, if because of this incident, let him lose the throne that should have been in his hands, he will definitely regret his death.
His face gradually turned pale, he looked at King Xian and asked, "Father, Your Majesty won't let me be the crown prince because of this matter, right......?"
"I don't know ......" King Xian shook his head irritably, seeing that his face was even paler, and added: "But I don't think it should be, after all, you were chosen by them with great difficulty, if you regret it again, what is the credibility of the court and Your Majesty?" ”
Xianwang Shizi's heart was a little calm, and then he was not angry and said: "He is so young, who would have thought that he is the lord of Xiaowan Country......"
"Enough!" King Xian glanced at him and said: "This matter, you wait and see what happens, after all, we and Your Majesty are a family, and he will never be cruel to you for an outsider......"
……
The Imperial Palace, somewhere inside the main hall.
Emperor Chu held the fold handed over by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department in his hand, and put it on the table with a calm face.
He snorted coldly and said, "This is the prince we elected......"
Tang Ning stood aside expressionlessly, if Emperor Chu agreed to his marriage to Lan Lan, then he was his father-in-law, and he naturally had to treat him as a junior.
But if he doesn't agree, he will only be the emperor of Chu, and with Tang Ning's current status, he doesn't have to be polite to him.
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "The quasi-prince of your country, molesting my Princess Xiaowan and framing and assassinating the lord of the country, I think Your Majesty should give me an explanation for this matter." ”
From Xiao Wan's point of view, this matter is naturally not a trivial matter, and it is normal for Xiao Wan to have this attitude.
But he is not only the lord of Xiaowan, but also the thief who stole the heart of his precious daughter, these words came out of his mouth, and Emperor Chu was extremely unhappy in his heart.
"Give you an explanation?" He looked at Tang Ning, snorted coldly, and said, "How about I give you Lanlan?" ”
