Episode 119 Prince Ananta's Death

The next day, on the morning of the 20th, Zhu Yourong summoned Shen Rongxuan and Xiang Xiaoqiang into the palace alone, and discussed with them a question of whether it was big or small: .

In fact, this problem has always been a sore spot for Zhu Yourong. As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yourong remembered that his grandfather was killed in front of him. Moreover, when Prince Ananta had not yet been brought to justice, when she thought of Prince Ananta, she only had a feeling of hatred in her heart, and she wished to arrest him now, send him to the gallows, and comfort her grandfather's dead in heaven. But now that Prince Ananta has caught it, she begins to think about the scenes when the two of them played together when they were young.

How innocent I was when I was a child! He is simple, he is simple, playing together is a simple play, a simple laugh, even playing annoyed and arguing and losing his temper, it is also simple, and he will be reconciled the next day...... At that time, the whole world was pure. But now that everyone has grown up, there are a lot of thoughts, a lot of **, every move, every word and a smile has a lot of purpose. That's the biggest difference between adults and children.

It's just that Zhu Yourong didn't expect Prince Ananta to become so powerful. In order to achieve the goal in his heart, in order to get himself and let his son get the Ming Empire, he did not hesitate to set up a situation to frame people who had no grudges with him. Moreover, when Tingzhi has been framed badly enough, he has to intensify his efforts and use a bomb and four lives to put Tingzhi to death...... Even if the death of his grandfather was an accident, the driver in the car and the two guards by the door couldn't dodge, and he must know this. In other words, at least three lives were within his plan......

In the past few days, Zhu Yourong has been sad when he thinks of it. She has always avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, but Zheng Yuxuan is always by her side to remind her and urge her to make up her mind as soon as possible. She knew that Xuan Xuan usually didn't dare to ask her to do anything like this, which was almost forced. But this time is different, my grandfather is not only my grandfather, but also Xuanxuan's own grandfather. Xuan Xuan is a person who loves and hates clearly, and now that he has found out the truth, he is bent on revenge. And what Xuan Xuan said is also very right, there are too many people who know about the fact that we have caught the prince, and we can't hide it for a few days, and there will definitely be newspapers poking it out immediately. Rather than being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative to announce it now, and then ...... In the words of Xuan Xuan, it is: "Quack a shot".

What's more, now that the arrest of the prince has been officially announced, it is natural for the public to demand that he be escorted back to Nanjing for trial as soon as possible. No matter what you say, it's been a matter of the past few days, and no matter how much you want to escape, you have to face it.

That's how she finally made up her mind, after the throne was properly replaced in Siam, she summoned Shen and Xiang into the palace and discussed with them what to do.

To Xiang Xiaoqiang's relief, although Shen Rongxuan and himself are similar to political enemies, on many major issues, the two can always agree on their views. This time, Shen Rongxuan meant that first, Prince Ananta could not be returned to Siam, second, Prince Ananta could not be allowed to go to court, and third, Prince Ananta should disappear from public sight as soon as possible. As for whether the prince is alive or dead, and how he will die if he dies, that is a secondary question.

These three opinions are exactly in line with Xiang Xiaoqiang's views. This time, Daming pretended to be Japan, and there were a large number of Siamese secrets that were defrauded, neither of these two things could be put on the table. Once Prince Ananta is brought to court, he will definitely be exposed.

Now, after the last press conference, the public has learned that the Kui Wood Wolf pretended to be a Japanese ship and tricked Prince Ananta into boarding the ship. But everyone understands this. Because the situation at that time was that Prince Ananta had kidnapped a boatload of people at gunpoint, and in order to save the hostages, no deception was too much. But later, in order to continuously obtain Siamese secrets, the Ming Dynasty always pretended to be Japanese, which was too embarrassing once it was revealed. That will become a political scandal, a "door," and it will easily cause disputes between tomorrow and Japan......

Therefore, Xiang Xiaoqiang also fully agreed with Shen Rongxuan's opinion. Shen Rongxuan turned his face after hearing this, glanced at Xiao Qiang quite kindly, and nodded lightly. Xiang Xiaoqiang also bowed slightly respectfully.

"So...... The two Aiqing think that Prince Ananta should be given to ......" Zhu Yourong paced lightly behind the Huanghuali bookcase, made a gesture, lowered his head and muttered, "Give ...... Secretly imprisoned? So how do you get him out of the public eye? Declare that he ran away? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang picked up the teacup and drank it, making a contemplative gesture, without accosting him. He knew that Zhu Yourong was thinking a little wishful thinking. That's when her kindness factor comes into play again. Prince Ananta had to die. This is not only Xiang Xiaoqiang's personal likes and dislikes, but also determined by the situation.

But he can't say this kind of thing, if he says it, he will be suspected of communiqué personal vendetta, so he has to let Shen Rongxuan say it.

Sure enough, Shen Rongxuan looked at Xiao Qiang and just lowered his head to drink tea and didn't speak, knowing that he couldn't speak, so he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, governments like the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Soviet Union can secretly detain many people without the public knowing about them for a long time. All they had to do was simply order the media not to report on it. And we can't. It's too hard for us to block any news here. For the sake of ideals and fame and fortune, those journalists have always done their best to dig up these hidden events and the so-called 'government conspiracy'. They are well-connected, powerful, pervasive, and arguably more efficient than our official intelligence agencies...... Your Majesty, under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for the government to close such a big news that Prince Ananta is alive for a long time and prevent it from leaking. ”

Zhu Yourong sat down slowly, bowing his head and pondering. After a moment asked:

"So, what do you think should be done?"

Shen Rongxuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, gently stroked the tea leaves, and said lightly:

"For example, the prince realized that something was wrong, so he fled with his retinue, and in the course of the pursuit, both of them fell off the cliff."

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Shen Rongxuan, thinking in his heart: Alas, Shen Rongxuan, I really convinced him...... It was this person who led the ministers and strongly advocated marrying Zhu Yourong to Prince Ananta...... Now everyone knows that Prince Ananta is a wolf, and Shen Rongxuan is like no one, he turned over and advocated that the prince be made, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, as if it was not him who led the wolf into the room in the first place...... I don't know whether to say that I have a thick skin or a good psychological quality......

Zhu Yourong lowered his head and didn't speak, just playing with the official kiln teacup in his hand. After a long while, she sighed and said:

"If that's it...... Wouldn't it be a little ...... Man-made traces are too heavy? ”

Learn from Xiaoqiang what Zhu Yourong meant. That is to say, will it not seem that there are no three hundred taels of silver here. Yes, even though everyone knows that Prince Ananta is very good at escaping, but this time he is so tightly guarded and completely under house arrest, he can still run out, and he can run to the edge of the cliff to "fall off the cliff", and two people fall at the same time, which is indeed too fake and contrived.

Since Shen Rongxuan had already said the word "kill" first, Xiang Xiaoqiang would have continued. He put down the teacup, sighed too, and added in a very sad tone:

"Alas...... Your Majesty, Shen Gong's idea is still very feasible, that is, it can be changed slightly...... Just say that the prince and his retinue were killed in the process of escaping...... It's a little more credible. Because the prince didn't run out, he was discovered by the guards when he was climbing over the wall, and then the warning was ineffective, and he shot down. The attendant was still running, and the guards knocked him down as well. Because it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, one person was hit in the back and died on the spot, and the other person hit the thigh artery and died after rescue efforts failed. How's that going? That's a little bit of a thing, and there's no need for anyone to be responsible. If it were according to the prince's statement, someone must be responsible, and that would be too unfair to that person. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Yourong and Shen Rongxuan both nodded, thinking that it was better. Especially Zhu Yourong, looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang with satisfaction, nodded and smiled lightly, and was quite moved that he could be so kind and think about the fate of a small person.

Then, Prince Ananta's fate was decided.

……

Prince Ananta has been "protected" in a mountain villa on Zhoushan Island for several days, and every day a fixed number of people come to ask about many things about Siam. Sometimes it's someone from the Japanese government, sometimes it's someone from the military department. At first, the prince was very excited, and felt that even though the Japanese side asked a lot of questions, it also showed that he was very interested in his return to Siam. He is also very active and cooperative, knowing everything and saying everything.

But as the days passed, he gradually felt that something was wrong. Those people just asked him endless questions about Siamese every day, and the more explicit they asked, the more they asked them, and later on, many questions that could not be related to returning to Siam. It seems that as long as it is suitable for Siam, they are interested. A bad feeling slowly enveloped him. He felt that the Japanese did not seem to be interested in whether he could return to Siam at all, they were only interested in Siam.

The prince fell into anxiety and confusion. He was anxious that if this was the case, his future would be in jeopardy. Will the Japanese let themselves "disappear" after squeezing out their own value, and not recognize Prince Ananta in Japan at all? He was puzzled that Japan had only one purpose in collecting intelligence on Siam, that is, to get their hands on Siam. But if he didn't have the banner of Prince Ananta, he would have gone into battle shirtless by the Japanese themselves, and wanted to get involved in Siam when the Ming Dynasty was still alive and well? Isn't that a fool's dream?

…… When Japan couldn't get its hands on Siam, what did it do with so much Siamese intelligence? It's not Da Ming, if Da Ming does this, it makes sense......

So, in the last few days, the prince began to deliberately make reservations. Some of the questions they asked, the prince deliberately told them wrong and false answers. But the men immediately frowned, skeptical. The prince was also very surprised. These people seemed to know Siam very well, and they immediately heard their lies. The prince began to suspect that these people were asking questions that they knew and did not know, so that if he lied, it would be easy to find out.

Now Prince Ananta clearly senses that his relationship with these Japanese people is beginning to change. They are no longer in the same "close-knit" relationship as before, but one that warns of each other, and even interrogates and is interrogated. Little by little, the friendly masks of those people are being removed, and the prince's insecurity is growing little by little.

As far as Daming is concerned, Prince Ananta's value is almost the same now. The most important questions have been asked, and the rest are the more minor peripheral questions. There were even questions that might arouse the prince's suspicions, which they did not dare to ask for the first few days, but now they also began to ask questions without hesitation. Anyway, if the prince doesn't doubt it, he doubts it, and if he doubts, it's not a big problem.

At this time, on the morning of June 21, a seaplane flew to Zhoushan Port, and an inconspicuous naval captain got off the plane, got into a chief's car, and drove out of the port.

After a while, the car drove out of the military port area and onto the winding mountain road. After a while, I drove into a forked path, and after a few minutes, drove into the door of a large villa.

This person wearing the uniform of a captain in the Navy is actually Xiang Xiaoqiang's henchman Hu Jiong.

He brought with him an order: to execute Prince Ananta by the method of "fleeing and shooting", to be executed tonight. The order was only a piece of paper, with Xiang Xiaoqiang's signature underneath.

After reading it to the People's Guard agents here, Hu Jiong took out a lighter and burned the order.

……

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Prince Ananta was lying in his bedroom, smoking a cigarette and thinking anxiously about his problems. The windows were wide open, and the salty sea breeze poured into the room, which seemed to calm his almost burning mood. He dropped his cigarette and stood up and looked out the window. The mountains outside were dark, and the sound of the waves below was faintly heard. Nearby, in the courtyard, a dark figure walked slowly around, and the bright spots of dark red cigarette butts were also moving with him.

The prince knew that it was the Japanese spy who was in charge of monitoring his back window.

At this time, outside the bedroom door, Pachai's voice sounded quietly, as if he was still very impatient:

"Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"

Prince Ananta frowned and went over to open the door. Pachai flashed in, looked nervously behind her, and closed the door again. Then he took a newspaper from his bosom and nervously handed it to the prince. When the prince saw it under the lamp, Pachai's face turned white.

The prince took the newspaper and looked at it, stunned. First reaction: This is a Chinese newspaper. Then see the headline: Jinling Business Daily.

What, is it the newspaper of the Ming Dynasty? This is Japan, why do people still read Daming's Chinese newspapers?

Pachai's face was like a blank piece of paper, and he trembled and pointed to a piece of news above for him to read.

When the prince looked over, his face turned white. Soon, his hands trembled.

This newspaper was published a few days ago, and this news was the press conference held in Nanjing, in which the three departments of the royal family, the investigation team, and the People's Guard jointly disclosed how the Ming warship posed as a Japanese ship, rescued hostages from Prince Ananta, and captured the prince wisely. In the large photo, it is Xiang Xiaoqiang's energetic and foaming appearance.

Prince Ananta's head "boomed", his eyes were black, and countless Venus stars were flying. He staggered, and if it weren't for Pachai to help him, he would have fallen.

He sat on the bed, dumbfounded, and muttered:

"This ...... This is not Nagasaki...... Nor is it Japanese...... This...... This *** is the Ming ......"

"Yes, Your Highness, this is Da Ming! Those people are not Japanese, they are from the Ming Dynasty! I overheard them chatting and reading the newspaper just now, and all of them are in Chinese! I stole the newspaper after they left! ”

The prince muttered:

"Weird...... No wonder they care so much about Siam...... There was nothing to do in Japan from the beginning to the end! I...... I...... We *** were scolded by others as stupid boys...... It's so miserable......"

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

The prince sobered his head for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said categorically:

"Run! So far, people are killed by knives, and I am fish and meat, and I am waiting to die if I don't run! We were able to escape from such a strict search and arrest, so what's so difficult about being under house arrest in this place? Hmph, they thought the scam was successful, so they weren't too worried that I would want to run away...... You see, they are afraid of arousing my suspicions, so the guards will not be excessive...... You see, there's only one person standing guard outside the back window, and behind the wall is the winding road! It's the first floor, and all we have to do is climb out of the window, kill the guard, climb over the wall, and run away! ”

Pachai was also encouraged by him, and the two of them geared up, waiting for the opportunity. After a while, Prince Ananta pretended to be asleep and turned off the lights. In this case, the room will be dark, and it will not be easy to expose any movements. And the prince analyzed that when the guard saw that he was sleeping, his vigilance would be greatly reduced.

The two hid behind the curtains and spied on the guards in the yard. Sure enough, after a while, the guard stopped walking around, but sat down in a chair, stretched, and began to nap.

After a while, he started snoring.

The prince was ecstatic in his heart, and his whole body rekindled the heroic spirit of the "lonely hero" he had been a few days ago. He silently climbed onto the windowsill, quietly jumped lightly to the ground, and waited for Pachai to climb down in the same way. The two crept around the snoozing guard and came to the wall.

Because this is not a prison, it is just a mountain house, so the courtyard wall is not high. The two stacked arhats, and the prince climbed to the top of the wall first, and then pulled Pachai up. The two jumped outside again. This jump inevitably makes a sound. The two of them squatted nervously on the ground for a while, and after making sure that no one noticed, they ran away. There is a mountain road in front of you, and when you run out, you will be able to go down to the sea. At that time, if you use your skills again and get a boat, there will be hope......

At this moment, a gunshot rang out from behind, and a big horse fell to the ground and struggled twice.

Immediately afterwards, two big men sprang out from the side and pushed the prince to the ground. Then, the villa behind him began to shout:

"Catch him! Get him! ”

"Stop, don't stop shooting again!"

The two big men didn't say a word, took out rags and gagged them, and dragged them to the side of the road. The prince struggled desperately, and while listening to the constant shouts in his ear, "Stop, don't stand still and shoot", he also began to wonder in his heart, didn't they chase him?

Just as I was wondering, another person came in the dark. The man whispered in his ear:

"Your Royal Highness, we ask me to see you off. Your Highness has gone all the way. ”

Then the man began to back away. Two big men, one on the left and one on the right, held him hard. The man behind him retreated a few meters away, then took out a box gun, took a closer look, and shouted:

"Here we are! Here it is! Hold it! Don't stand still and shoot again! ”

Then "snap" a shot. The prince felt only a sharp pain in the back of his thigh, and then something began to splash out. The two big men next to him let go of him, making him bleed and struggling forward on the ground.

At this time, the three people behind him shouted:

"Here we are! The prince is here! He was robbed, hurry, carry it to the rescue! ”

Several men came running, lifted the prince up with all their hands and feet, and ran back as fast as they could. At this time, a car on the side of the villa also started and drove over. Several people carried the prince, who had a blank face like paper, into the car and shouted:

"Go to the port hospital!"

But Prince Ananta's main artery had been broken, and he was already dying at this time, cold and unable to speak. The major artery is broken, and it is basically unsaved.

Sure enough, before the car had gone a hundred meters, Prince Ananta died with his eyes open, his lips open, and his hands curled up like chicken paws.
