Chapter 417: The Cuckoo's Cry of the Blood Ape (18)
"Where did the samurai come from?" Chen Wan asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't know, there are not so many samurai in the house, except for a few servants who take care of the house, I have never seen a samurai, presumably the prime minister brought it back from outside! This villain doesn't know. The butler replied.
"Alright! Go on! Chen Wan guessed in his heart that these people must be the dead bodies secretly raised by Chen Zhuang, just to hide people's eyes, they never appeared in the mansion.
"Then I saw a man running out of the house in a panic, and without even asking, the gentleman cut off the man's head with a knife, and then threw it into the house, and the scene was really bloody, and the blood splattered out was several feet away." The housekeeper saw that Chen Wan was not frightened, and then continued:
"There was a moment of panic in the room, and then it was quiet!"
"Didn't the people in the house hear what they said?" Chen Wan asked.
The villain was too far away to hear clearly at all, but it didn't take long for the prime minister to go out, and the other clan nobles were also taken to the backyard one after another. But when everyone left, the villain found it in the house. As he spoke, he pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom. Handed it to Chen Wan, Chen Wan opened it and looked at it, only to see half of his fingers, bloody, appearing in front of him, Chen Wan looked at the housekeeper in surprise.
"What's going on?" Chen Wan immediately asked in surprise.
"If you go back to Gongzi, this finger belongs to the prime minister!" The butler replied in the affirmative.
"What?" Chen Wan couldn't believe it, the half of the finger in front of him was actually his brother's, Chen Wan asked with a little doubt:
"So sure?"
"If you go back to Gongzi, the people of the aristocratic clan were all left here last night, and no one came to ask for medicinal herbs, so it must not be these people. After the prime minister went out last night, it was late when he came back, but he looked very excited. Earlier today, the villain went to the room to serve, and actually heard the gentleman call the prime minister the king, the villain felt strange, but the villain still called the prime minister, as if the prime minister was not happy.
And since last night, in the city of Chengdu, there has been news everywhere that the phoenix bird has descended to earth and the prime minister is about to ascend the throne as the king of Shu. The butler said truthfully. Although this person stayed at home, the news he knew was still very accurate and timely, but he didn't say a word about Chen Zhuang's rebellion, which was really surprising. However, according to the description of the housekeeper, Chen Wan can roughly guess what Chen Zhuang has done from yesterday to now.
Under duress, the aristocratic clan had to promote Chen Zhuang to become the king of Shu, in order to intimidate these people, it can be regarded as a bloody investment, and he actually cut off a part of his finger, and he has to admire this person's courage. However, when he entered the palace and forced the palace, he found that the king of Shu had disappeared. Presumably all this was witnessed by the 'Wine Lady' and saw the cruelty of Chen Zhuang, the 'Wine Lady' would inform the King of Shu in time, and Chen Wan restored yesterday's scene in his heart.
The stay of the king of Shu is related to the truth of his status, so there is a story of burning the palace and finding a eunuch to die instead. Chen Wan already knew what would happen in the future, but for the matter of this phoenix bird descending to earth, it was still a cloud and mountain fog cover, which was difficult to understand, and he didn't bother to care about it at this time.
"My brother has really been planning for a long time!" Chen Wan sighed:
"Ever since I was secretly ordered to enter the Qin Palace's palace to deliver the letter, all the conspiracies have begun! The reason why the action was exposed in advance must be to use the hands of the Qin people to get rid of the king of Shu and get the throne without blood. As everyone knows, this Qin people acted too quickly, and in a short period of time, they launched an attack, and at this time, Chen Zhuang was still on the Golden Bull Road, gathering the warriors of Bashu.
The tung oil that was spilled at the beginning showed that Chen Zhuang was not fully prepared, and in a hurry, he wanted to use the hands of the people of Qin to destroy me! It seems that my brother already knew that I was not the same as him. I thought that the tiger talisman would fall into my hands, but I didn't expect the king of Shu to use the Taiwei, and in order to protect himself, he ordered his sister-in-law to kill the Taiwei. Chen Wan kept deducing the changes in Chen Zhuang along the way in his heart.
"Hey! The agency is too clever to calculate, and it costs his own life! Chen Wan sighed and said, "In the end, I will get nothing!" All right! Let's go down. ”
"Yes!" The housekeeper pushed the door out, and Chen Wan was grateful in his heart, if it weren't for the words 'wine lady' that broke him, he must have already fallen to the ground at this time.
"It's really a mysterious woman, presumably many of these things have the participation of this person, if there is no such person, presumably things will not have developed to this point, but I am extremely curious, why did it turn out like this?" Chen Wan kept thinking in his heart.
It's hard to find the right reasons to explain these things, and it's a bit confusing. Thinking of this, Chen Wan had some urge to go and see the 'wine lady', and immediately went out of the door, seeing that the samurai were still guarding the door, and seeing that he was leaving, the samurai followed behind.
"You are waiting outside the door!" Chen Wan commanded, at this moment, in the mourning hall, the family members have already rested, only a few people who guard the spirit, Chen Wan saw this, and immediately said:
"When you go back to rest, I'll leave it to me!"
"Yes!" Everyone got up and left, and Chen Wan fell to his knees and added some gold foil to the brazier.
wanted to say something, but the person in front of him had no way to get up and communicate with him again, so he just knelt quietly on the ground and tried to think about the situation in front of him. The situation in front of him has reached a very dangerous point, outside the city is the Qin army, which is coming from afar, so naturally it will not give up easily.
But the current situation in the city is really worrying, regardless of whether the soldiers in the city are sufficient, even those clan nobles who are not competitive are really worried. After the butler's description, Chen Wan understood in his heart that these clan nobles were by no means any kind of good, and they must have reached a certain degree of consensus with Chen Zhuang last night.
It is certain that everyone's plan is very ingenious, and they will first send a 'wine lady' to spy on their final belonging, and if they don't comply, they will die outside the city. At that time, the army outside the city can only be at the mercy of the city, in the eyes of these people, everyone can be betrayed, no matter who it is, even if it is the high king of Shu, it will not escape the danger of being betrayed.
"What a vicious plan! Not good! Thinking about it, Chen Wan suddenly stood up, because he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong!
