Chapter 728: The Unexpected Behind the Scenes
Not only is he arrogant, greedy for money and lustful, Luo Qingluan has also seen Xiao Tianci's cold and shameless face.
Although these jewelers had nothing to do with her, she couldn't help but feel unhappy again when she heard Xiao Tianci's presumptuous and arrogant tone.
When she saw Xiao Tianci robbing the people's girls on the street in Dongwan, she was angry, but she didn't expect that he was still suffering from his hidden illness, and he still had the heart to make trouble, which showed that the dog couldn't change it
Excrement. If you behave like this, you will be like this for the rest of your life.
"Princess, this person is so arrogant, he dares to threaten our merchants in Western Chu, do you want to go down and arrest him?" On the side, Xu Wei said in a low voice: "Those businessmen don't know, but we."
But he knew that the jewelry sold by Prince Xiao San was a stolen North Vietnamese treasure. He must have been too bold! β
Still shaking his head, Luo Qingluan said, "No, wait." β
There was a panic sound next door, mixed with pleading and asking for mercy, but Xiao Tianci became more and more arrogant, as if he didn't care about these people to denounce him, but threatened Jia Ruyi as soon as possible,
If you can't collect any money for more than three days, you will wait to collect the bodies of these people.
When the voice gradually calmed down, and finally disappeared completely, Luo Qingluan spoke: "Let's go, let's follow." β
Coming out of Fengqi Tower, it was already dark outside, and the only light on the street was from some of the shops around that were still open, but there were very few, and it became more and more apparent
Dusky. The stars in the sky were bright and twinkling, but the starlight could not reach the ground, only a little more lonely.
After the bustling place, the further back you go, the quieter it becomes.
Places suitable for habitation are always quiet, covered by ancient trees and verdant, but at night they look eerie, and the leaves rustle in the wind, as if hidden in the dark
What's the point, it's terrifying.
Xiao Tianci didn't feel it at all, he had extorted 300,000 taels of silver just now, he was excited!
"Hahahaha, this group of ignorant and greedy businessmen still want to earn the king's silver? Dream! β
took a sip hard, Xiao Tianci was drunk, walked crookedly, and was full of pride: "If this king can sell these things to them, they should be grateful to Dade." After all
It's a princess's thing, they are usually afraid that they are not qualified to look at it, but they still have the opportunity to buy it today, isn't it that they burned high incense in their previous life? β
"Yes, yes, it's still thoughtful for the three princes, and the subordinates don't have the brain, and they almost made the three princes suffer!"
patted his henchman on the head, Xiao Tianci scolded with a smile: "What do you minions know?" They wanted to take advantage of the king, and the king made them bleed hard. 500,000 taels is the cost
, the extra 300,000 taels, isn't this king hard, shouldn't he ask for errand fees? β
After speaking, his eyes narrowed, and he warned: "By the way, this king's ugly words are in front, those three merchants should show this king well, if the silver runs away and flies, you will come to see this king."
οΌ β
The henchmen said again and again: "Don't worry, the third prince, it's not just a few businessmen, and the subordinates let people watch them, and there will definitely be no problems." β
"Well, well, after the matter is completed, the silver will be in hand, and this king will be able to please the princess......"
Xiao Tianci nodded with satisfaction, as if he was blown by the wind, his mind became more and more dizzy, and suddenly he was a little more resentful: "This woman is really troublesome!" I'm going to marry this king,
is still so hypocritical, if this king didn't look at her princess, he would still be so interested in her?! β
Staggering under his feet, like a snake, he cursed and cursed as he spoke, not noticing the figure that fell far behind.
Luo Qingluan and Xu Wei, who were five zhang away, and then surrounded by trees and walls to hide their figures, became more and more surprised when they listened.
"Princess, is this ...... It turned out to be a princess? β
If he hadn't been following Xiao Tianci all the time, or saying it from the center of his mouth, he wouldn't have believed that the theft of the treasures of Beiyue was actually related to the third princess Nangong Wan'er. But he and Lowe
Qingluan heard it clearly, although the voice was vague, but it drifted along the night wind, how could it be fake?
Luo Qingluan stared at the few voices and shadows in front of him, frowning deeply, he also didn't expect to hear such an answer.
just hoped that Xiao Tianci would overhear something from his words when he got carried away, so she didn't let Xu Wei dedicate herself on the spot. Now Xiao Tianci and his henchmen are together, and they don't speak at all
Naturally, it is impossible to fake, but what he said surprised Luo Qingluan, and he didn't expect it to be like this at all.
"Nangong Wan'er ......"
Muttering to himself, Luo Qingluan looked at the swaying back in front of him, unsure whether what he heard was true or false: "How could it be her?" How did she have this ability? β
Even if she doesn't pay attention to Nangong Wan'er anymore, she knows that she has completely lost Nangong Qing's trust and favor because of her misdeeds. If she is not Nangong Qing's sister, is there any
is too much of a threat, I'm afraid that Nangong Qing will not care about the love of brother and sister for a long time, and will turn her into a concubine.
In the past year, Nangong Wan'er has been almost forgotten, and no one remembers this once beautiful third princess. The glory and splendor of the Princess's Mansion has long been a thing of the past, as were the former guests
The sight of the guest gate will never be seen again.
The silence disappeared for more than a year, and Luo Qingluan only knew that Nangong Wan'er's marriage to the Southern Wei Dynasty was over, and it was even a joke in the circle of nobles in the capital, and she only stayed in the princess's mansion all day long
and never go out. Even his personality has changed a lot, he is taciturn, and he is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
A cold color flashed in his eyes, and Luo Qingluan muttered: "It seems that we have all underestimated this third princess, if the thing is really done by her, I am afraid that it is not only this intention." β
Xu Wei asked, "Then, does the princess think ......?"
"If it's really money, do you think Nangong Wan'er has the courage to steal Beiyue treasures? That's a tribute to the royal family, and once it happens, it's a capital crime! But Nangong Wan'er still did it, in the end
Whether she has a group of hidden forces under her own hands, or whether she is in partnership with someone else, it is worth investigating. β
Not only that, Luo Qingluan even felt that it was quite problematic for Xiao Tianci and Nangong Wan'er to catch up with this.
Don't say it's her, I'm afraid that through the matter of recruiting relatives, everyone in the capital knows that the third prince is unreliable. If it weren't for the identity of the third prince of Dongwan, there would be Prince Xiao's words
Qing, I'm afraid I can't become a colt at all!
Nangong Wan'er used to be impulsive, but after a year of precipitation, where could she be as naΓ―ve as before?
She is not stupid, how could she not see Xiao Tianci's character, and leave such an important and secret matter to him? Once the whereabouts of the stolen treasures of North Vietnam are discovered, absolutely
For the cause of the uproar, it is Xiao Tianci who is the first to bear the brunt now, and further suspicion will fall on his wise and martial brother Xiao Yuqi, isn't this still unassumable
οΌ
didn't follow anymore, Luo Qingluan stood in the shadows, watching Xiao Tianci and his party disappear in front of him, and finally turned around and walked back: "Let's go, Xu Wei, let's go back." β
Just come out for nothing, and it's over tonight?
Xu Wei was a little anxious: "Princess, really let them go like this?" We can hear it clearly, as long as the third prince Xiao is arrested and asked, if it is really what he did, it will be counted
He is the third prince of Dongwan, and he can't get rid of it! β
Shaking his head, Luo Qingluan stopped him: "I know you're worried about the prince, but it doesn't matter, I know it in my heart." Go back first, I'll discuss this matter with the prince, and you find someone to continue
Staring at Prince Xiao San, don't startle the snake. β
Returning to the Chu Palace, Nalan Ye had already returned.
Waiting for Luo Qingluan to tell him about tonight's discovery, he asked him: "Nalan Ye, now that the matter is actually related to Nangong Wan'er, I suspect that there should be an inside story, what do you think?" β
A character like Nangong Wan'er has never been put in Nalan Ye's heart, if it weren't for the fact that recruiting relatives was too lively, I am afraid that Nalan Ye would have completely forgotten that there was still this person
γ
He smiled, his eyes dark: "If the matter is really related to her, this king will underestimate her!" β
"Not really!"
Luo Qingluan untied his belt and said, "Maybe we all underestimated this third princess!" I used to see her straightforward nature, and no matter how evil she was, it was the thoughts of some daughters' families.
It's not a big evil, but this time it's different. Maybe after more than a year of tempering, she really became forbearing, so she hid it from all of us. β
If it weren't for the occasional discovery from Xiao Tianci, even the spies of the Dark Night Hall wouldn't have found out that the matter was actually related to Nangong Wan'er. No wonder I went to gambling houses and wine shops all over the capital before
I didn't find any clues, but it was for such a reason, and it was in the wrong direction at all.
"The matter is related to the princess, and this matter has been five days, if you hide it any longer, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy if she finds out." Luo Qingluan put the coat that Nalan Ye had taken off aside
On the rosewood truss on the side, he asked: "Why don't you go into the palace tomorrow and tell Your Majesty, at least let Your Majesty have a number in his heart and know that you are investigating this matter." β
"Well, I know you're worried, then I'll go to the palace tomorrow. What about you? Nalan Ye held her hand and seemed to know Luo Qingluan's thoughts: "Are you ...... I want to go and see it secretly
Nangong Wan'er, or else to see Xiao Yuqi? β
"I can't hide anything from you."
Luo Qingluan smiled: "Nangong Wan'er will let it go first, I want to meet Xiao Yuqi." After all, this matter has something to do with Dongwan, whether Nangong Wan'er is cooperating with Xiao Tianci,
is still directly conspiring with Xiao Yuqi, this is all related to the stability of Dongwan and Xichu, and it cannot be neglected. β
"That's good, Qingluan, I believe in you for my husband."
Nalan Ye nodded, took her hand and got on the bed, and gently covered her with the quilt: "It's not early, you've been busy all night, rest early, there will be more things tomorrow." β
Extinguishing the candle with one palm, he hugged the woman in his arms, only feeling full of comfort.
If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
She didn't want him to have anything to do, so why didn't he want her to worry.
But there are always some people who are ready to stir up trouble and create trouble, and it doesn't take long for it to cause trouble again. He who has never been merciful, if anyone dares to commit a crime against him
, let it regret not being at the beginning!
