Chapter 668: The Dead
At this time, Gong Cheng, the head of Nanyang County, was drinking tea in the hall of the county government, and he had just finished handling some official business, so it was rare to have a moment of leisure.
But before he could take two sips, the county government steward hurriedly walked in, and Shi Li said, "Lord Qiqi, the city captain's mansion has something important to see." ”
"Oh?" Gong Cheng raised his eyebrows, didn't think much about it at the time, and said casually: "Let him come in." ”
After a while, the housekeeper brought in an officer from the City Captain's Mansion, Gong Cheng held a teacup in his hand, blew lightly, and asked without raising his head, "What's the matter?" ”
"Big ...... My lord! The third prince was ...... by the Assassins," the officer stammered.
"What!?" Hearing this, Gong Cheng was shocked, and while he stood up suddenly, his hand shook, and the teacup suddenly fell to the ground.
Caring about it so much, Gong Cheng immediately asked sharply, "Where is the third prince now!?" ”
"It's in the courtyard of the school."
"Quick!"
It can be imagined what kind of mood Gong Cheng is in now, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, panicked, and rushed to the scene non-stop.
When he arrived, the man in black was indeed still waiting there, but the soldiers around him had gathered more and more, and in the end, there were even more crowds, countless of them.
In the face of so many soldiers, no matter how high a person's kung fu is, I am afraid it will be difficult to please him, but the man in black has always been extremely calm, and even during this period, he chatted with Lu Zheng without saying a word.
When he saw the corpses of the two secret guards, Gong Cheng's heart sank suddenly, and when he separated the crowd and went to the innermost, when he found that Lu Zheng was being controlled by the man in black, his heart sank to the bottom!
What are you afraid of! It is conceivable that if the third prince Lu Zheng had an accident under the jurisdiction of Nanyang, and he was under heavy protection, then not only could he not keep his black gauze hat, but I am afraid that it would be difficult to keep the head of Xiang Shang!
At this time, seeing Gong Cheng, the officers of the City Captain's Mansion also hurriedly greeted him, he first glanced at the man in black, and then saluted Gong Cheng with his fists, explaining the current situation to Gong Cheng.
But now Gong Cheng, where is he still in the mood to listen to him, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt him, and at the same time looked at the man in black, and said straight to the point: "This official is the head of Nanyang County, you!" What the hell are you going to do!? ”
"Oh? The county lord is here. The man in black chuckled, but before he could say the next word, Gong Cheng was already in a hurry, pointed at him and said sharply: "You are so bold!" Do you know what you're doing!? This official advises you to release the people immediately! Otherwise, no one can save you! ”
He is the head of the county, even if he is not good, he still has a bit of official authority, but he forgot one thing, that is, since the other party dares to hold Lu Zheng hostage so blatantly, he must have been prepared, and he will definitely not be an ordinary assassin.
Sure enough, as soon as Gong Cheng finished saying this, the man in black immediately sneered, then touched Lu Zheng's little head and said, "It seems that the county head doesn't know much about the current situation. ”
His movements, his words, were full of threats, and when Gong Cheng saw this, his face turned white!
He first swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then said in a trembling voice: "You, don't mess around, whatever you want, this official can promise you!" You let the people go first! ”
"Hehe, it seems that the county chief seems to be scared now." The man in black chuckled again.
"Yes, yes, the official is afraid, very afraid! You say, "What do you want?" You say! Gong Cheng said with tears in his eyes: "Whether you want money or not, you can have as much gold and silver as you want!" You can make any offer! ”
"Money?" The man in black sneered again, and said unhurriedly: "If you come to kidnap the third prince of the Wind Country for money, you say, isn't it sick?" ”
"Well, then what do you want! You mean! Gong Cheng said urgently.
The man in black glanced at Gong Cheng and said, "What I want, I'm afraid the county head doesn't have the ability to do it, the reason why I called you over is to tell you that the Wind King will come over in person." ”
Hearing this, Gong Cheng's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he said, "You are so bold! Do you know what you're talking about!? ”
The man in black said to himself: "None of them are qualified to directly pass on the book to the royal court, only the county head, who is the third grade of the imperial court, can directly write to the king, so it will be troublesome, of course, the county head can also choose not to agree." ”
As he spoke, the man in black touched Lu Zheng's little head again, he seemed to be laughing, but in fact, his actions were completely threatening Gong Cheng.
How could the latter not see it, seeing this, it was a split liver and gall, and hurriedly said: "Okay, good! In short, don't mess around, this official will pass on the king immediately! ”
"Very good, I'll wait for the Wind King here, and in addition, I will ask the county lord to arrange a place to eat and stay." The man in black said calmly.
"You!" Gong Cheng was extremely angry, but he had nothing to do, now that the third prince was in the hands of the other party, he could only respond to the other party's request.
Nanyang is very close to Fengzhou, and a few days later, the secret guard has passed the news to Liang Xiao, who after hearing it, he was first stupidly frightened, and after reacting, he directly slapped the secret guard in the face and said sharply: "Waste! What are you doing!? ”
"Big ...... My lord, when the lowly rank arrived, Captain Wang had already been killed by the assassins, and ...... And the third prince has been controlled by the other party......" said the secret guard in a trembling voice.
Ah! Hearing this, Liang Xiao's heart was broken, and he kicked the kneeling secret guard to the ground again, and scolded angrily: "You bunch of waste! Rubbish! ”
The secret guard hurriedly crawled and knelt there again, then took out a letter, and said tremblingly: "Besides, my lord, this is a letter from the head of Nanyang County to the king......"
"This time the Dark Guard is finished!" Liang Xiao screamed sadly, then pulled the letter hard, where did he dare to delay, and hurriedly walked out.
At this time, Lu Chen was at King Jing's place.
Since the child was sent to Nanyang, King Jing has never paid attention to Lu Chen, even if it is like now, Lu Chen came to look for her, she didn't give any good face.
She is completely distressed about the child, and she is complaining about Lu Chen in her heart!
Just when Lu Chen poured himself a cup of tea, King Jing's personal maid Xiaoyue suddenly came to report, saying that it was Liang Xiao who asked to see him.
"Let him in." Lu Chen didn't think much about it, and said casually.
After a while, Liang Xiao walked in sweating profusely, and after coming in, he didn't say a word, he knelt on the ground with a pop, his head touched the ground, and said in a trembling voice:
"Weichen deserves death!" Fupin Chinese
