Chapter 494: Knife

Just because Governor Luo protected Bao'er back then, and got along these days, Luo Sheng didn't think that the woman's disappearance was his private doing.

She believes that the real mastermind behind this is the one sitting on the dragon chair.

The birth dates of these women were too sensitive for her, and she had to explore why they did what they did.

And if you want to know the reason, I'm afraid you can only ask from Governor Luo.

Looking at his daughter with anticipation, Governor Luo took the wine glass silently and drank it all.

When the soju enters the throat, it is as if a fire has been lit in the internal organs, burning people uncomfortably.

He slammed his glass down on the table and remained silent.

Luo Sheng understood the struggle in Luo Dadudu's heart at this moment, and opened his mouth to break the deadlock: "My father has always been a great hero in my heart, and I don't believe that my father did it for his selfish desires. ”

Governor Luo looked at Luo Sheng in astonishment: "Sheng'er-"

He is the leader of Jinlin Wei, the plague god in the eyes of most officials, and the evil in the hearts of the people.

He is confident that he is a loving father in the eyes of his children, but he never thought that in the heart of that bold little girl who loves to cause trouble, he is a big hero who stands up to the sky.

This discovery made the middle-aged man, who had been through a lot, moisten his eyes.

"Did the emperor ask my father to do it?" Luo Sheng pretended not to notice the strangeness of Governor Luo, although it was a question, his tone was firm.

This made Governor Luo breathe a sigh of relief.

It was too embarrassing for his daughter to see that he wanted to cry.

Governor Luo squeezed out a sentence: "Sheng'er, don't ask too much about the affairs of the imperial court." ”

"I don't care about the court, I care about my father." The girl's eyes were burning and she looked at Governor Luo fixedly.

Under the gaze of those transparent and pure eyes, Luo Dadudu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Of course, he can say nothing, but how can he bear to disappoint his daughter and make her think that he is a person who does all kinds of evil.

I don't know how long he was silent, but Governor Luo sighed: "It is indeed the emperor's order." ”

The girl's eyes that had been looking at him suddenly lit up, shining with dazzling brilliance: "I knew my father wouldn't do such a thing." ”

Governor Luo smiled bitterly: "It is indeed the father who did it." ”

Luo Sheng was silent for a moment and asked, "Why did the emperor do this?" ”

Governor Luo stretched out his hand and patted Luo Sheng on the shoulder: "Silly girl, the emperor arranges one thing, how can he say the reason." ”

"Father doesn't know?"

Governor Luo shook his head.

God knows how stunned he was after listening to the emperor's orders, and once wondered if the emperor was evil.

Luo Sheng lifted the wine jug and filled the empty wine glass, frowned and said: "There is no wind and no waves, it is impossible for the emperor to do this for no reason." Father, has anything special happened lately? ”

Governor Luo rubbed his temples in distress and sighed: "There have been too many special things that have happened recently, the kings have rebelled, and the concubine has given birth prematurely, which is a big deal. ”

"Anything else?"

The rebellion of the kings and the premature birth of the concubine are indeed great things, but in Luo Sheng's opinion, it is difficult to connect with the disappearance of the woman.

"Something else-" Governor Luo frowned and thought about it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Not long ago, the national teacher was out of the customs, and this should be a special matter." ”

Luo Sheng's heart moved.

As for the Great Zhou National Teacher, she had heard of it when she was the lord of Qingyang.

It is rumored that he is a fairy figure who can call the wind and rain, with an ageless face, a profound Taoism, and is relied on by the royal family.

A woman with the same birthday and the unpredictable national teacher seem to be connected.

Luo Sheng is glad that Miss Luo is a straight person, and she can ask directly if she thinks of anything.

She showed a look of disgust and shock: "Father, could it be that the national teacher fooled the emperor into taking the blood of these women to refine the elixir, so that he can live forever?" ”

Governor Luo touched the tip of his nose, and his expression was a little strange: "There is some truth in this speculation, but——"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "But the emperor didn't order me to take the blood of those women." ”

Luo Sheng asked softly, "How did you arrange those women?" ”

Governor Luo was silent for a long time and said, "Killed." ”

Although he had been mentally prepared for this answer, Luo Sheng couldn't help but clench his fists.

After a while, Luo Sheng spoke: "I heard Lin Teng say that several missing women have the same birthday, and there are at least one hundred and six such women in the capital, does my father plan to kill these one hundred and six women as well?" ”

Governor Luo was particularly shocked: "Lin Teng also told you this?" ”

Luo Sheng blinked, always feeling that Luo Dadudu's focus was a little wrong.

Governor Luo was indeed shocked.

Lin Teng, that young man, knew that he was very serious about his work, and he was very clear about public and private, but he didn't expect to say such an important thing to Sheng'er!

This must be a rarity, right?

Luo Dadu Du only felt that an unexpected pie had smashed on his head, and even the recent boredom was less.

"Father." Luo Sheng shouted.

Governor Luo came back to his senses from the sudden surprise, and the heaviness of reality made his expression darken.

Luo Sheng insisted: "Will all these women be killed?" ”

Luo Dadu looked at her, and his tone was helpless: "Sheng'er has grown up now, and he should understand the truth that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention obeying orders." ”

Luo Sheng bit his lip and asked word by word: "What if the next time the emperor wants his father to kill his daughter?" ”

Governor Luo's expression changed suddenly: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Luo Sheng's tone was calm: "The murder of these women is likely to be something that the national teacher said to the emperor." This time, they are going to kill a woman born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the year of Bingyin, and the next time may be a woman born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Wuchen year. Once the knife is aimed at the innocent, it can fall on anyone-"

"Sheng'er, don't say it!" Governor Luo's face turned blue, and he rubbed Luo Sheng's head indiscriminately, "No, don't think so much about the little girl's family." ”

Luo Sheng's lips moved, wanting to say that it was more than a hundred innocent women, but the words rolled on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say it.

As Governor Luo said, the monarch wants the ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and if she continues to talk about it, it will only make Governor Luo more painful.

I only hope that Governor Luo will listen to what she just said, and when she has to make a choice in the future, she will be able to figure out whether it is worth working for such a faint king.

At this time, Chloe's voice came from outside the door: "Girl, Mr. Zhu found a little problem when he was taking inventory, and I want to report it to you." ”

Luo Sheng's eyes shone slightly.

Zhu Wu is back!

At this time, Zhu Wu's return is undoubtedly a rare piece of good news.

Although he was anxious, Luo Sheng's face did not show any light: "Father, if you don't eat the food, it will be cold, you can eat first, and I will go and talk to Mr. Ledger." ”

After Luo Sheng left, Luo Dadu did not move his chopsticks.

In the face of delicious wine and food, he lost his appetite for the first time, and repeatedly thought about what Luo Sheng said just now: What if the next time the emperor wants his father to kill his daughter?

Once the knife starts pointing at the innocent, it has the potential to fall on anyone's head.
