A military general who was relatively close to Liu Neng in Su Rili heard Xiao Chenyu's admonition to Xiao Zhihan, raised his head, and glared at Xiao Zhihan with a fierce face.

Listening to Xiao Chenyu's false exhortation and the general's angry rebuke, Xiao Zhihan quietly led the wine on the table, and looked coldly at a good show in this banquet hall.

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Xiao Zhihan got up and left the prince's mansion. The guests invited by Xiao Chenyu saw Xiao Zhihan leave the table as if nothing had happened, and they dared not speak out.

Xiao Chenyu saw Xiao Zhihan leaving, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold smile.

Xiao Zhihan, this time, you sent it to the door yourself.

That night, an exclamation resounded throughout Liu Neng's mansion.

Hearing this exclamation, the guards of the Liu Mansion who were on duty that night immediately ran towards the place where the exclamation came. Then, there was a heavy knock on the door, and those people in Liu's house who were sleeping were awakened one after another. Hearing the sound of panicked footsteps and noisy talking outside the room, he got up quickly, put on his clothes and went out to check the situation.

"Open the door, open the door!"

"You guys, did you see any suspicious people tonight?"

As soon as he went out, he clearly heard the voices of the guards of the Liu Mansion.

"What's going on?"

"It seems that the general has been assassinated, and now the murderer is being arrested."

"What? The general was assassinated? ”

……

The people of Liu's house, who didn't know why, turned their heads one after another. Hearing the news of Liu Neng's assassination, these subordinates of the Liu Mansion were all terrified.

On the other side of Liu's mansion, the housekeeper took the old doctor of the Huichun Hall in the capital to Liu Neng's bedroom out of breath.

Outside the bedroom, more than a dozen guards with weapons were guarding with cold faces.

Seeing this scene, the old doctor lowered his head and followed closely behind the butler.

Entering the bedroom, a woman in a thin shirt was sitting crying and crying, and several young concubines from Liu's Mansion were softly comforting.

"Doctor, please come here."

Steward Liu took the old doctor straight to Liu Neng's bedside, and then pushed him aside, looking at Liu Neng, who was pale and trembling all over his body, with a worried face.

The old doctor put down the medicine box, walked forward quickly, and carefully checked Liu Neng's state at this time.

I saw that Liu Neng's wide eyes were full of pain, and his hands were clawed and scratching his heart hard, as if there was something in it, which was torturing him to death.

In addition, Liu Neng's complexion was abnormally pale, a layer of cold sweat had oozed from his forehead, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

Seeing Liu Neng's appearance, the old doctor's face was already a little heavy. Stretched out his hand, took Liu Neng's wrist vein, and diagnosed the situation in his body.

"Strange."

After the old doctor's fingers caught Liu Neng's wrist veins, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"Doctor, what's wrong with our general?"

Seeing the suspicious look on the old doctor's face, and hearing the words that came out of his mouth, a look of urgency appeared on the butler's face, and he immediately asked out loud.

"The general's symptoms are very strange, his face looks like poisoning, but there is nothing abnormal in his pulse. The old man is not good at medicine, so he is really powerless! ”

The old doctor got up with a ashamed face, gave an apologetic salute to everyone in the Liu Mansion, shook his head and left.

Hearing the old doctor's words, the woman in the thin shirt, who was already crying, couldn't help crying anymore. The other women beside her, who were comforting her, also sobbed in shock.

After the old doctor left, doctors came to treat Liu Neng one after another, and the results were almost the same as those obtained by the old doctor before.

The people of Liu Mansion, who were powerless after all methods, could only watch Liu Neng die in pain at dawn.

The movement in Liu's Mansion at night was not small, and the people living around Liu's Mansion heard the movement. I got up early in the morning and was about to go to Liu's Mansion to inquire about what happened at night, but I saw a white sail hanging high in front of Liu's Mansion.

Hearing the news of Liu Neng's death, the doctors who had treated Liu Neng couldn't help but shake their heads. And when they were asked, they told the truth.

"Did you hear that? General Liu died inexplicably last night. ”

"I live near Liu's Mansion, and in the middle of the night last year, several groups of doctors came in and out. I heard that General Liu's symptoms were very strange, and none of those doctors had a way in the end. No, I hung a white banner on the door early this morning. ”

"Isn't it, the doctors who went to General Liu's treatment last night said that General Liu's symptoms looked like poisoning, but his pulse was normal. After a night of tossing and suffering, I didn't lose my breath until this morning. ”

"So weird? What did the people in the government say? Didn't you say that there was a post-mortem exam? ”

"The weirdest thing is here, and I can't find anything out of it even if I do an autopsy. There were no traces of poisoning, and there were no obvious external injuries, and even the scratches on his chest were scratched by General Liu in pain. ”

……

In this place in the capital, where is there an impermeable wall? Liu Neng's bizarre death, but a morning's work, everyone knows about it.

Such a strange thing happened, and the people in the capital couldn't bear not to inquire and pass on a few so-called "inside information". However, I don't know when it started, and the events of the banquet in the prince's mansion were spread.

learned that Xiao Zhihan and Liu Neng had a conflict at the banquet, and even made a move. Thinking of Xiao Zhihan's well-known notoriety, the people of the capital linked these two things together.

"In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he dares to hurt people. Behind the scenes, it's not a big fuss to kill someone! ”

"It can't be, there was a conflict yesterday, and people were killed that night? Isn't this leading the suspicion to yourself? ”

"That's the king of Ming, who even dares to disobey the holy decree, with his perverse and presumptuous nature, where will he care about what consequences? Even if everyone doubted him, with the emperor's connivance with him, in the end, he would only be confined for a few days. ”

"Don't say it, it's really possible to be King Ming. Not to mention other places, in this capital, have he killed fewer people? So far, the bones of many people have not been found! ”

"Also, besides King Ming, who else can kill people in such a cruel way? General Liu offended him, and he also poured blood mold for several lifetimes. ”

……

The more the people talked, the more they felt that they had discovered the truth, and one by one they swore that Liu Neng's death was counted on Xiao Zhihan's head. There are many people who say it, and the fact that Xiao Zhihan killed him because of Liu Neng's few words of collision gradually spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

At noon, Xiao Zhihan left Mufeng Yuan slowly, preparing to go to the city defense camp to take office.

As soon as he walked out of Mu Fengyuan, Feiying walked over with an expressionless face.

"Lord Wang, Liu Neng is dead, and the cause of death has not yet been found. Because what happened in the Prince's Mansion yesterday is now rumored in the market, it was you who sent someone to kill Liu Neng. ”

Liang Zhao, who came out with Xiao Zhihan, heard Feiying's voice, and a smile of schadenfreude appeared on his face.

Yesterday, Liu Neng, who didn't try his best to provoke his prince, actually died? This is God's eyes, I can't get used to his style, and I took his life back overnight.

Hearing that Liu Neng was dead, Xiao Zhihan acted as if he hadn't heard it, didn't ask or check, and directly took Liang Zhao straight to the direction of the city defense camp.

Xiao Zhihan and Liang Zhao had just arrived at the city defense camp, and before they could walk in, they heard noisy discussions in the city defense camp.

"I used to think that the rumors about King Ming in the market were a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that it is indeed worthy of the name! General Liu and He had no grievances, but he was just quick to talk about it for a while, and he contradicted him a few words. It was not enough to hurt people in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several adults, he even sent someone to assassinate in the middle of the night. ”

"It's not that he relies on the emperor's connivance everywhere, otherwise where would he dare to do whatever he wants."

"It's ridiculous that this kind of person still wants to be the general of the city defense battalion."

"I heard that he didn't even have the courage to fight General Liu yesterday!"

"It's not, I guess I was afraid that I would lose face in front of General Liu when I came to the city defense camp today, so I sent someone to kill General Liu overnight."

……

These people have been working with Liu Neng for several years, and they have a good relationship with each other. When they received the holy decree two days ago and learned that Liu Neng had been removed as a deputy general and that the post of general of the city defense battalion was held by Xiao Zhihan, they had already accumulated anger in their hearts. I thought that when Xiao Zhihan came to take office, I would give him a dismissal. didn't expect that he would kill Liu Neng first.

"It's really lively here!"

Liang Zhao, who was following behind Xiao Zhihan, sneered disdainfully in his heart when he heard the attitude of these people in the city defense camp.

These five big and three rough reckless people, when they see them like this, they are being used as guns.

The prince of their family is the son of the emperor, and now he is the general of the city defense battalion, these people don't rush to please their prince, even if they dare to be so disrespectful to their prince because of one or two nonsense!

Hearing Liang Zhao's voice, those indignant soldiers of the city defense camp turned their heads to look at the gate of the city defense camp. As soon as they saw Xiao Zhihan, the people on duty in the city defense camp at this time all stood up one after another, staring at Xiao Zhihan with a fierce look on their faces.

"His Royal Highness King Ming, General Liu just verbally bumped into you a few words, how can you be such a killer!"

Seeing the expression on Xiao Zhihan's face as if nothing had happened, a stout man took a few steps in the direction of Xiao Zhihan and asked loudly.

With the stout man's questioning, these people in the city defense camp who learned of Liu Neng's death early in the morning instantly boiled.

"His Royal Highness King Ming, even if General Liu offends you, he will not be guilty to death!"

"His Royal Highness King Ming is so ruthless......"

Liang Zhao, who was standing behind Xiao Zhihan, saw that these people were getting more and more powerful, and looked at the eyes of his prince one by one, eager to pounce on him and drink blood and eat meat. At that moment, he swept the sword in his hand, and the sword qi swept by, attacking the most powerful people who shouted.

Those few people were swept away by the sudden attack of sword qi, and they took a few steps back in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Liang Zhao swung his sword just to deter these people, and he didn't really want to kill them. After those people stood still, except for a little embarrassment, they were not injured.

A few people who couldn't hang their faces, one glared at Liang Zhao angrily.

The master killed someone, and the guards dared to commit murder in public. was about to scold Liang Zhao loudly, but the words of several people were interrupted by Liang Zhao's mocking voice.
