Chapter 17
At this time, Zhuang Xin on the side still had the philistine face of the boss of the silk village, and he sneered: "I don't blame you for knowing more, I just blame you for talking nonsense." You still don't understand the truth that trouble comes from your mouth?"
When Lao Wu heard this, his teeth immediately itched with hatred, and he scolded Zhuang Xin angrily: "Okay, you Zhuang Xin, you actually lied to me." If you don't give me money, you still want to kill people and kill people? Are you still unreasonable?"
"Reasoning? Only the living are worthy of reasoning! And you are about to go down to the underworld to confess your death. Zhuang Xin replied coldly.
"Ahh
Before Lao Wu could scold again, the gray-clothed swordsman had already come to Lao Wu, and he waved his sword indifferently, and the sword light quickly formed a blood line on Lao Wu's neck......
After solving the old Wu, Zhuang Xin said to the gray-clothed swordsman: "You heard what he said just now, go back and report to the prince quickly." ”
"Yes!"
With the promise of the gray-clothed swordsman, Lao Wu's body fell to the ground with a bang, but no one knew that at this time, the corners of Lao Wu's mouth showed a subtle smile.
......
The Wei Mansion of the Dayu Dynasty is not far from the Yongwang Mansion, and it is also located on the East Street outside the palace, four or five away from the city. The high walls of the palace are enclosed, and the cloisters are stacked with water, which is magnificent and elegant.
At this time, in the palace of King Wei, King Yun of Wei was furious, and summoned more than 30 subordinates and guards recruited by the palace from last year to this year, regardless of men and women, to the front of the palace, and ordered people to interrogate them one by one.
More than thirty people, all of whom were bound, lay in rows on benches, and a fierce guard stood beside them, lifting the heavy board and hitting them on the buttocks, until their skin and flesh were open, and they wailed incessantly.
At this time, Yun Biao's face was full of anger, and he saw that these subordinates were just blindly howling wolves and crying bitterly, but none of them confessed, so he continued to order impatiently: "Beat this king hard, and beat them until someone of them is called!"
As his words fell, the guards who played the board did not dare to slack off, and continued to pick up the board and scold it fiercely, until the wailing and begging for mercy in the Wei Wangfu came and went, like hell on earth.
It's just that until all kinds of miserable screams gradually subsided, those subordinates and guards who were beaten by the rod were already dying, but Wei Wang Yunqiao still couldn't find the hidden eyeliner, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
At this time, one of Yun Wei's staff members stepped forward and said cautiously: "His Royal Highness King Wei, do you think there is fraud in it?"
Yun Biao glanced at the staff who spoke, and thought that he was recruited into the palace by himself from the people three years ago, surnamed Jiang Mingyingyu, quite talented and learned, after entering the mansion, he gave himself ideas and helped himself a lot, and he was regarded as an old man in the mansion. So this time, Jiang Yingyu's words had to attract his attention.
Yun Wei frowned and said, "How can you see it?"
Jiang Yingyu said: "We used such a heavy punishment on these people, but the expected eyeliner has never confessed. Either this eyeliner is not in this group of people at all, or this eyeliner does not confess, but there is another possibility, that is, this eyeliner is simply nothing, and someone is using this news to cause discord in our house. ”
"So, you suspect it's the third case?" Yun Fu said with a frown.
"That's right. However, there is only this kind of speculation, but there is no evidence, and everything needs to be clearly observed by King Wei. Jiang Yingyu said cautiously.
Yun Wei pondered for a while, and said with a cold face: "This king thinks that the first two are more likely to be bigger. After all, at the beginning of this year, our plan to install our own people in the position of the Ministry of Rites was indeed leaked in advance, which led to failure. It's just that this eyeliner is too hidden, and there is always no clue. The information provided by Zhuang Xin is based on this incident, so it is very credible. ”
Yun Wei glanced at the subordinates and guards who were beaten by the cane, and said indifferently: "This king would rather kill the wrong one and not let it go." Since it is impossible to find out who it is, then put all these suspects in the dungeon and let them fend for themselves. Let the king let those who have dissent know that no one shall be allowed to spoil the great things of the king, and the disobedient shall die. ”
Jiang Yingyu's heart tightened, although he was secretly shocked by the ruthless methods of the King of Wei, but he did not object.
Soon, the subordinates and guards who had been beaten with the rod were dragged into a secret dungeon in the backyard of the Wei Palace. What awaits them will be infinite despair and a painful death......
Yongwang's Mansion.
Yongwang Yunshan and Li Ruhai, the pawn of the tent, were sitting opposite each other in a pavilion, playing a leisurely game.
Yun Shan smiled slightly and said, "King Wei must have been fooled." ”
Li Ruhai responded: "Your Highness's move is a trick, even if King Wei knows that it is a plan, he will take the initiative to drill into it." ”
"That's right. Therefore, with the temper of the King of Wei, there must be wailing all over the palace of the King of Wei now. ”
Yunshan ate one of Li Ruhai's sons and said confidently.
"It's just ......" Li Ruhai hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Wu dares to die." ”
The smile on Yunshan's face froze, and the appearance of a smart and diligent young man with a slightly obscene face flashed in his mind, which was a subordinate who was very loved by the original owner Yunshan, but he didn't expect to lose him the first time he sent him on a mission.
He showed a sad look on his face, and said gloomily: "His family is now in Qinghe's hometown, you have to be generous." ”
"Yes. Li Ruhai nodded solemnly.
He knew that Wu Dang was a powerful guard in King Yong's mansion, although he was not a personal guard, but he had also been running errands with King Yongwang for more than ten years since he was a child, and he had some feelings. Now that King Yong has gotten rid of King Wei's divisive plan, he has made Wu Kang to death and lost his life, presumably King Yong must be very sad in his heart.
Li Ruhai sighed secretly, and at this time, he only listened to Yunshan and advised: "Remember, you have to do it secretly to prevent others from knowing." ”
"Humble duty understands. Li Ruhai said solemnly.
After learning that a person had been sacrificed in the house, Yoon-sun lost the interest in continuing to play chess.
He looked at the pavilion and sighed, and then said slowly: "I thought that I could be a prince, glorious and rich, I would be able to sleep in peace, and I would be favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and the future of the world would even be able to look forward to one or two." However, the situation in the past few days tells me that even if I am already a prince and become the powerful Yongwang of this Dayu country, I don't know how many white bones I will step on in the future? This Wu Dare is already the first sacrifice, and I know that this will not be the last sacrifice, and even if there is a possibility in the future, I will finally sacrifice. It scares me. ”
Li Ruhai couldn't help but be relieved: "Your Highness's words, I dare not agree with my humble position. Your Highness, you are magnanimous, out of frugality, gentle and elegant, and have the style of antiquity. The court praised His Royal Highness for his wisdom, and he was a virtuous king on the same level as King Wei. Therefore, Your Highness should not be presumptuous and lose confidence, otherwise where will you put me?"
