Chapter 31: Killing a Man with a Sword (1)
Shen Jinqiao didn't ask about all this that happened in front of him, but the prince didn't mind telling her: "This southwest is Wei Sheng's territory, the southwest is remote, except for a few big cities, other places can be said to be poor and remote, and the imperial court doesn't attach much importance to this side, so it's easier to hide some things here." ”
"But the reason why he chose this place is not only that, this is the black camel mountain backed by Liangzhou and Meizhou, which belongs to the branch of the dragon vein of the Xia Dynasty, this mountain seems to be barren, but in fact there are two large iron mines, and these two iron mines have not been discovered by the government."
"Wei Sheng disguised his private soldiers as bandits and hid them in the mountains, and the people in these state cities all knew that there were two big bandit dens here, and the officers and soldiers would not come if they were beaten, and the general hunters did not dare to come to this area to hunt, so they have been hiding for many years without anyone noticing."
"The reason why the floods in Meizhou and Liangzhou this year are so raging is because they hollowed out the mountains, and the flood was not blocked, and they directly broke through the mountains, which was unstoppable and devastating."
"And they have been suppressing the disaster here, but they want to alleviate the mess for a while, and they must deal with the affairs of the mine, otherwise once it breaks out, the crime of attempting to rebel will be more widely implicated."
Shen Jinqiao was shocked when he heard this, he privately dug iron ore, hid private soldiers, rebelled, and let so many people in these two states die, is this Prime Minister Wei going to heaven?
"But even if he cleans up the mess, there are always clues, if he dares to let His Highness come down, isn't he afraid of being found out?"
Rong Junzhi looked at Shen Jinqiao, hooked his lips slightly, and seemed to laugh at her innocence: "It's better to think about it, why did he dare to let Gu come here." ”
When the horse arrived on the mountain road, Rong Jun dismounted and walked, there were fires everywhere around, the fire shone here like daylight, and the dead bandits could be seen everywhere on the ground.
The smell of blood, flames, corpses, burning, gore......
Shen Jinqiao's face turned slightly pale, she understood why Wei Sheng wanted the prince to come here, and let the prince take Wei Beishuo with him, because he didn't plan to let the prince go back alive at all, so many soldiers, and then set up a careful bureau, let the prince bury his bones in this Liangzhou, then he could bury everything.
But the prince still came, this is his chess game with Wei Sheng.
Wei Sheng wants the prince to die, and then Wei Beishuo will operate to cover up everything, and the prince will plan and draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, he will destroy Wei Sheng's private soldiers and ruin his hard work.
So the prince deliberately made the appearance of being kidnapped, but in fact he brought people to this bandit's den, he killed the bandits, reported to the court, he was merit in suppressing the bandits, he destroyed Wei Sheng's private soldiers, and he could also make meritorious contributions, if he could go back from here, Wei Sheng could only break his teeth and swallow blood.
Of course, this is the most Shen Jinqiao can guess, and Rong Junzhi's purpose is obviously more than that, he wants to blow out this iron ore.
He was robbed by robbers, and on the way to escape, he accidentally came to a bandit's den, and found that this bandit's den was actually mining iron ore privately.
That's the purpose? Apparently not.
Even if he destroys these two mountains, Wei Sheng has transferred enough, he can't hurt Wei Sheng at all, what he wants is a rift between Emperor Xia and Wei Sheng, so that Emperor Xia can perceive Wei Sheng's rebellious heart.
Two iron mines of such a large size were hollowed out but not much iron was found, where did that iron go? Everyone will doubt it, and Emperor Xia will doubt it too.
Emperor Xia followed him before he ascended the throne, and it was impossible for Emperor Xia not to know Wei Sheng's true face, but he still reused Wei Sheng because he made Wei Sheng do a lot of unsightly things, and at the same time, Wei Sheng also held the handle of Emperor Xia in his hand.
If he rashly took out Wei Sheng's incriminating evidence and asked Emperor Xia to convict Wei Sheng, Emperor Xia would definitely be afraid of the incriminating evidence in Wei Sheng's hands and would not dare to do it, he would not allow his dark and dirty side to be known to the world, and would even help Wei Sheng clear his guilt in order to protect his reputation.
Therefore, Rong Junzhi never thought that he could convict Wei Sheng of death from the surface.
And the only way to disintegrate Wei Sheng is to make Emperor Xia jealous, and only if Emperor Xia wants Wei Sheng to die, can he really have a chance to bring down Wei Sheng.
Rong Junzhi did not hide his whereabouts, so he stood in the most conspicuous position, and immediately a bandit found out and killed him.
Shen Jinqiao really regarded himself as a guard, and his first reaction was to draw his sword to protect the prince, and the prince raised his hand and knocked it on her hand, pushing her sword back into the scabbard.
"Lone took you to take a look, I didn't really want you to be a guard." Although he is a prince and extremely noble, he is also a man, where will a delicate eldest lady hold a sword to protect him?
Shen Jinqiao was pulled behind by the prince, she only heard the sound of the long sword cutting through the cloth and piercing the flesh, and the blood splashed in front of her, and the other party only came to whimper and fell to the ground.
The guards around the prince surrounded him, and anyone who wanted to assassinate him could not be relied upon.
Shen Jinqiao was standing behind the prince, obviously he was the most noble prince, but at this moment he protected her behind him, Shen Jinqiao couldn't say what he felt in his heart for a while, she was a guard.
'Whew'!
Arrows broke through the air, and sharp arrows carried a strong killing intent.
"Poof"! The prince waved his sleeves, and the arrow was directly knocked to the ground, the tip of the sword was deeply inserted into the ground, and the arrow feathers kept trembling because of the force.
The next moment, the crown prince flew up from the spot, his figure swept past the battlefield like a ghost, and Shen Jinqiao watched him fly to a lookout and kill the archer with a sword.
After killing someone, the prince walked back without hurrying, and this time he used to go.
This is the battlefield, but he seems to be walking leisurely, but anyone who does not have a long eye to kill him will die under his sword.
Shen Jinqiao stood there, protected by a group of guards, watching him kill all the way back.
His Royal Highness Rong Junzhi, the crown prince, is known as the god son of Buddhism by the world, compassion for all sentient beings, if it is just appearance, it seems to be really consistent, but if they see him like this now, how can they talk about compassion?
Killing a person with a sword, ruthless and cold-blooded, the breath around him is richer and darker than this night, this is clearly a demon, a high immortal god, who fell into hell on earth, and became the most cruel and dangerous demon.
Shen Jinqiao just watched him walk step by step, his feet were so cold that they took root in place, forgetting the danger around him, and forgetting whether he wanted to escape.
Finally, the prince walked in front of her, and the sword in his hand was sharpened by the bloodstained light.
Rong Jun took the sword back into the scabbard, looked at the girl in front of him who was obviously overwhelmed by the fright, and asked in an indifferent and cold voice, "Scared?" ”
