Chapter 038: Prince of Zhou
Li Xiude followed the man to the study, and stood and waited for him to deliver the message. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The decoration in this study is magnificent, and the specifications are probably not much different from those of the imperial palace. Here, it is the mansion of King Zhou of Kaifeng.
After about a stick of incense, I saw a man in his early thirties walk in. This is a very handsome man, the outline of his face is angular, the sword eyebrows are starry, the eyes are deep, and there is a majesty in his own anticipation. It's just that his face looks a little gloomy, as if he is unhappy because he has been disturbed by someone's dream.
Li Xiude hurriedly bowed to him, and said, "The little one has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Get up."
This person is Zhu Shaoxuan, the son of King Zhou of Kaifeng. He didn't stop, walked straight to the bookcase and sat down, and then asked in a deep voice: "You came to find this son at this time, but what is the important matter?" ”
Li Xiude saw that the prince's face was unswerving, and he knew that he had disturbed his dreams, so he hurriedly apologized: "Please also ask the prince to forgive his sins!" The villain didn't mean to bother, but now that they've found me, the villain can only come late at night. ”
"What? You're exposed?!! ”
Zhu Shaoxuan was slightly surprised, and asked instead: "You didn't let people know about this world, right?" ”
"The little ones don't dare!"
Zhu Shaoyan felt a little relieved when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Then how can you still come out, they didn't treat you well?" ”
"My father and brother were willing to give me a chance, so ......"
Li Xiude hesitated how to speak, he had already made up his mind and planned to sincerely repent. I came here tonight to make it clear to the prince, hoping that the prince could let him go for the sake of his loyalty.
Without waiting for him to continue, Zhu Shaoyang cut off and said, "So you want to stop, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"Humph, hum!"
Zhu Shaoyang sneered pitifully: "Do you think you still have the possibility of stopping?" ”
Li Xiude solemnly knelt on the ground again: "Ask the son of the world to be fulfilled!" ”
"Haha! It's a ridiculous joke! ”
Zhu Shaoyang laughed out loud, and turned to stare at him with sharp eyes: "You know so many secrets in this world, do you think you can stop it?" ”
Li Xiude replied with difficulty: "The villain just wants to live his life with peace of mind, and will never reveal those things to anyone!" ”
Zhu Shaoyang saw that he was iron-hearted, and his face was gloomy and terrifying: "Okay, this world will fulfill you!" ”
Li Xiude didn't expect him to agree so easily, he was overjoyed when he heard this, and was just about to kowtow to thank him, but Zhu Shaoyang's next words made his heart sink to the bottom.
"This world can fulfill you, but I want you not to leak my affairs in your life. Do you know who can't divulge secrets? A dead man can never open his mouth! ”
Li Xiude felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, yes, this is his usual style of acting. But he has always been loyal to him and has done a lot of things for him, is he so unmissive?
Li Xiude wanted to beg for mercy again, but Zhu Shaoyang continued: "However, I remember that you have always served me loyally, and I can't bear to kill you." Just now, I've come up with another way, do you want to know? ”
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Zhu Shaoyan said in a cold voice: "As long as you cut off your tongue and cut off your hands and palms, you will not be able to speak or write in the future, and this world will no longer worry about you leaking secrets." ”
Li Xiude felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, this was more painful than killing himself! He sat down weakly on the ground, unable to speak again.
"What? Don't want to? ”
Zhu Shaoyan saw his reaction and said with a smile: "Do you think that your father and brother spared you out of family affection this time, and you don't want to be their enemies again?" But do you think they really let you go? Good! Even if your father is sincere, do you believe that your eldest brother, the person who has been persecuted by you, will really let you go? Do you think that if one day your father had an accident and no one could restrain him, he would not retaliate against you? He didn't know that he suddenly fell ill two years ago, was it you? What if he knew? ”
A series of words made Li Xiude speechless. yes, are you thinking too simply? Will Big Brother really let himself go? If he knew that he had been sick for many years and that he had done it himself, I am afraid that he would never spare himself again, right?
When Zhu Shaoxuan saw his reaction, he knew that his words had had taken effect, and continued: "You have been working for this world, I don't want to kill you, but if the Li family can't be used by me, why should I keep it?" Your father and brother have done me a good thing, why should I let them go? I only need to say hello, and there will be a group of officials to stammer, and arbitrarily accuse the Li family of rebellion, and I can easily let your Li family be wiped out! ”
What a ruthless method! Li Xiude didn't dare to have a trace of other thoughts, and hurriedly kowtowed: "It's a villain, please give me another chance!" ”
"If only you understood!"
Zhu Shaoyang nodded with satisfaction: "You just need to get rid of Li Xiuwen and let your father get seriously ill, isn't this Li family's business all yours?" As long as your Li family supports my great cause in the future, the future glory and wealth will not be at your fingertips? A woman's kindness is unacceptable! ”
Such a combination of grace and power completely shaken Li Xiude's previous determination. Since there is no turning back, it is necessary to do it thoroughly. Instead of letting yourself die, let someone else die! What about the chess pieces? If you can save your life by being a chess piece, and you can still enjoy glory and wealth, why bother to become an outcast?
"Since he has a different heart, why don't you let the old slave kill him, it's a hundred!"
After Li Xiude went back, the man walked in and said softly. This person's name is Feng Quan, and he is an old eunuch who has been waiting by Zhu Shaoyang's side for many years.
"It is useless for me to kill him, and having him control the Li family's industry is a great help to my great cause."
Zhu Shaoyang shook his head lightly and sneered: "What I want is not that Li Hongshen can't afford to be sick, this old guy is always a scourge if he keeps it!" You're okay with the medicine you gave him, right? ”
Feng Quan smiled: "Your Highness, rest assured! The medicine given to him by the old slave is absolutely fatal, but unfortunately he doesn't know that he is going to become a sinner who kills his father! ”
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Li Xiuwen finished washing, Chen Yi came. He knew that Chen Yi should have news to report to him, so he asked Chen Yi to share breakfast with him and talk while eating.
"Li Gongzi, I found out some news, and the situation may be a little unfavorable for you."
Chen Yi sat down and spoke, and then told Li Xiuwen everything he had found out about his recent follow-up on Li Xiude.
That day, Li Xiude went out to the Wu family's carriage and horse shop, including going to see Feng Quan later, and it all fell into his eyes. It can be found from his tracking process that there seems to be a very mysterious figure behind the second young master of the Li family. He didn't come to report to Li Xiuwen immediately, he wanted to find out what the person behind him was. It wasn't until last night that he followed Li Xiude to King Zhou's mansion that he knew that the person behind him was actually in the palace. The palace was heavily guarded, and he did not dare to approach easily, so he returned.
"Zhou Wangfu ?!!"
Li Xiuwen was also surprised after listening to his narration, where would he have thought that he had been hiding behind the scenes, and it was actually the people of the Zhou Wangfu who instructed Li Xiude to act. But who is he? King Zhou? Wang Shizi? Or which prince? What was his purpose in doing this? It won't be because of the fact that he pretended to be the son of the world, and he was killed, right? But if this is the case, Zhou Wangfu does not need to use this method at all. Just say hello to the government and you can destroy yourself!
