Chapter 402: Siege
Li Xuan sat on the chair by the door, and could see the door of the outer courtyard at a glance, there was no wave on his face, but in fact, his heart was more tormented than anyone else.
Countless images flashed in his mind, if Xiao Lingwei was caught, what should he do? If he hadn't been caught, what would he have done?
Li Xuan had never felt that time was passing so slowly, just like in his previous life, he watched the second hand move little by little, ticking and ticking, and there seemed to be an alarm clock in his heart, constantly arguing.
It seemed as if a century had passed, and a figure finally appeared in his sight, and the figure flashed by, and he didn't see it clearly.
In the blink of an eye, the figures were already in front of him, it was Yue Hu and Lu Bao, not Xiao Lingwei.
"Your Highness, I didn't catch Xiao Lingwei."
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we found this in the house."
Seeing the sachet in Yue Hu's hand, everyone's hearts rose to their throats again, it was Xiao Lingwei's sachet.
Li Xuan took it and looked at it, it contained some gold leaves, and a necklace, which was the mask necklace he gave her.
His fingers slowly ran over the small and delicate mask, and he asked in a deep voice, "What else have you found?" ”
"And this."
Han Tong pushed his hand, and a petite body fell in.
It was the orchid bamboo beside Xiao Lingwei.
Yang Huijun's face changed, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Han Tong suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed at Lan Zhu, "Say, where is Xiao Lingwei?" ”
Facing the sword blade that glowed with a cold light at hand, Lan Zhu's gaze tightly locked on the tip of the sword that was only an inch away from her face, "I... I do not know... Miss... Not with me..."
Although she stammered, there were no useful clues to what she said.
The next moment, Han Tong's hand stretched forward, and the cold sword was against Lan Zhu's cheek, and she screamed in fright: "Ah, don't, don't... I don't really know... I really don't know..."
Her whole body trembled violently, her pupils widened, and fear overflowed from her eyes, spilling out of every pore of her body, enveloping her and leaving her breathless.
Her eyes widened, and she fainted with fright.
Han Tong was stunned for a moment, then kicked her, and said disdainfully: "What a coward." ”
But it was also this situation that made everyone believe that Lan Zhu really didn't know Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts, and before Yang Huijun, who wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, had no time to relax, he heard Lan Zhi say: "My lord, I still know a place..."
Han Tong's eyes lit up.
But before Laneige could finish her words, suddenly a sword plunged into her heart.
"You..." Lanzhi looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, she never thought that one day she would die at Li Xuan's hands, because in her impression, Li Xuan was a very kind person, he would not even take the initiative to shoot those small animals when he accompanied Xiao Lingwei to hunt, let alone kill them.
Until the moment her heart stopped, she maintained a shocked expression, her eyes did not close, and she did not blink.
Han Tong rushed over, put his finger under Laneige's nose and probed, and he was already dead of anger.
"She is about to tell Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts, why did you kill her? Are you trying to kill people? ”
......
Li Xuan snorted coldly: "You don't deserve to be humiliated by me." ”
Han Tong's face darkened a little more, and there seemed to be a sound of bones "clicking" in the air.
Seeing Han Tong's appearance, Li Xuan's heart was secretly refreshed, and he continued to humiliate him: "Didn't you hear what Lan Zhu said just now?" She said that Xiao Lingwei was not with her, so what can you mean by catching Lanzhu there?
"It's just that Lanzhi, a girl who is greedy for money, wants to lure us to catch Lanzhu when she knows that Lanzhu is there, and then it will make us think that since Lanzhu is there, Xiao Lingwei must have also appeared, so as to cheat the bounty.
"Don't you see such a clumsy lie?
"I really don't know, how did you become a son in this world, it's so stupid."
Hancom: "......"
Han Tong was about to explode, he was already stunned by Li Xuan's series of words, and at this time, he heard Li Xuan scolding him for being stupid, and he was in no mood to ponder Li Xuan's words, he just wanted to beat people.
But in front of him is the emperor's son, what if you can't fight?
"Ahh
"Stop, what do you want to do?"
Pingfu and the others were like facing a great enemy, and even Yue Hu and Lu Bao, who were standing outside the door, rushed in.
But their movements were a little slower, and Han Tong's sword fell quickly.
"Bang."
The chair beside Li Xuan was cut in half.
There was a false alarm, and everyone let out a long breath, and even Xiao Linhui couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Li Xuan.
"Take her with you, and we'll go."
Ah Shan motioned for the guards to escort Lan Zhu and followed Han Tong out of here.
Li Xuan instructed left and right: "Take her out and throw her to a mass grave." ”
Yang Huijun suddenly said, "Can Your Highness not throw Lanzhi to a mass grave?" ”
Li Xuan looked at it and agreed to her without thinking: "Okay." ”
Yang Huijun didn't expect Li Xuan to agree so quickly, she was stunned for a moment, and then thought that they were all locked up here, and no one was doing a funeral for Laneige, so she said, "Your Highness Lao sent someone to send Laneige's body to her family." ”
Then he said an address, and took out a jewelry box from the inner room: "These are for her family." ”
Then he handed over a purse: "This is the tea money for the guards." ”
Li Xuan didn't take the purse, but just took the jewelry box and handed it to Pingfu, "Dispose of it properly." ”
"Yes."
Looking at the back of Pingfu leaving, Yue Hu and Lu Bao exchanged glances, His Majesty was right, the fourth prince was indeed unsettled for the six rooms of the Xiao family.
Yue Hu lowered his eyes, and it seemed that his decision was not wrong.
But with a cup of tea, Han Tong came back with someone violently, no, he rushed in.
He didn't talk nonsense, and took out the holy decree to show Li Xuan: "Your Majesty has a decree to put all the people in the six rooms of the Xiao family in the prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Then he instructed the guards: "Hurry up, take them all." ”
Li Xuan's face sank, and he could only watch Xiao Linhui and the others being taken away.
Xiao Linhui glanced at Li Xuan meaningfully when he passed by him, and after what happened just now, he thought, maybe Li Xuan had no ill will towards them.
Li Xuan asked, "Your Majesty only said that they would be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, didn't you say anything else?" He wanted to know what Li Zhenxiao was going to do next.
But Han Tong just tugged at the corners of his mouth and said in an almost provocative tone: "I, no, know, Dao." ”
Li Xuan's face darkened a little more.
......
Li Zhenxiao sat on the throne, and looked at the kneeling minister with a blue face.
"Your Majesty, there has been a commotion outside, and it is said that Your Majesty is so aggressive to eradicate the bloodline of Emperor Daxing because of the lack of heart and the throne. Outside it is rumored that Xiao Lingwei is a thief, and it is also a crime that wants to be added, so there is no excuse.
"Your Majesty, if there is no tangible evidence to prove that Xiao Lingwei participated in the rebellion, you can't kill her, otherwise you will be mutilating the royal bloodline."
