Chapter 18: 'Suicide in Fear of Crime'

This sound startled the full audience, and before they could react, Qin Heng asked aloud as soon as he stepped in: "Chong'er's birthday is a big day, what's going on outside crying?" ”

This voice came into the ears, and there was no one on the seat who could sit still, and when they saw the Holy Lord coming in, they all knelt sideways and bowed, and a mountain shouted long live, and everyone was restrained, and the comfortable appearance of Fang Cai was gone.

Qin Chong saluted and gave up the main seat, personally invited his father to take the seat, and asked people to add tables and chairs next to the main seat, and only sat down after settling the guests in the hall, and replied: "Father smiled, this woman doesn't understand the rules, and the son asked him to send it back." ”

Where could Qin Heng believe his words, and chuckled: "The servants in your house don't know the rules?" Pull and pull and drag, that's how you send it back? ”

"Father, the sons and daughters can take care of their own household affairs." The smile on Qin Chong's face faded a little, and a look of boredom gradually appeared in his eyes. "That's a cheap maid, and you don't need to ask your father."

Everyone present gasped, the prince is the tone of the saint, only the saint wants to ask about the affairs of the world, how can the saint not ask? Even the first queen may not dare to say such a thing when she is there!

Today, Xue Ji has opened his eyes, the first time he saw the prince, the first time he saw the long live lord, the first time he saw it, and he encountered this rare strange thing, and when he heard this answer that no one dared to say, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that the prince was so domineering.

Just when everyone present was hanging their hearts for the prince, Qin Heng didn't seem to take it seriously, and asked him in a good voice: "She is a cheap maid, that big girl will be a princess in the future, where are you doing this to practice the emperor's heir?" ”

I thought that the saint had such a good temper, and let the prince come like this, the prince should also be more interesting. But who knew that this master was best at speaking amazingly, and replied with a sneer: "That's not what I learned from you." ”

Those who can appear at today's banquet are not stupid people, of course, the most stupid ones set their eyes on King An Qin Sui at this time, some are gloating, some are panicked and surprised, in the end, they all want to see how His Royal Highness King An, the eldest son of the Holy Lord and known for his wisdom, will react.

Qin Sui sat quietly as if nothing happened, bowing his head to hide all the expressions in front of him, only Xue Ji next to him could see clearly, he was holding his palms tightly with one hand, and the back of his hands was blue and white, I am afraid that there were a few more blood marks in his palms.

On the other side, Qin Xu was not far away from him, or he didn't need to see it to guess that Qin Sui endured extremely hard, squinting his eyes and taking in the appearance of the person with his head down but his back straightened, and he felt a little more pity in his heart.

The two of them are not from one mother, but they are raised by one mother, An Wang Zhixian first saw the signs when he was a teenager, when he always took care of his younger brother, let Qin Xu do everything, and every time the prince came to find trouble, he carried it alone. Qin Xu was not ignorant of these things, but at that time he always felt that they were all right.

"Big brother, he did it on purpose, don't go his way."

Qin Sui's clenched hand suddenly loosened, raised his head slightly, and looked slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Qin Xu, an unpredictable person, to appease him at this time, although the words were not very good.

"Thank you." As he spoke, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't even cry when he laughed.

Qin Xu retracted his gaze, concealed a flash of concern, and stopped speaking.

"Chong'er." In the end, it was Qin Heng who held the cup and knocked on the table, making a small sound, and then opened his mouth to end the embarrassment at this time: "Don't talk more and more out of proportion." ”

How many pairs of eyes looked at Qin Chong, and they breathed a sigh of relief, just to see what this master was going to do, whether to make another surprising statement, or to restrain himself.

Qin Chong condescendingly fixed his eyes on the eldest brother, and he was not in a hurry to reply, until all the officials in the room sweated for him, and then he said leisurely: "The son has lost his words, and the father will not be angry, right?" ”

The air seemed to freeze again, and countless pairs of eyes quietly fell on Qin Heng's face this time, waiting to see how he reacted.

Unexpectedly, and unexpectedly, Qin Heng smiled, not taking it seriously at all. "What anger can I move? Chong'er, you're just too restrained. ”

To say that the officials of the DPRK and China have long been surprised by this, who does not know that the saint dotes on the prince and spoils him endlessly, if the prince wants the moon, it is estimated that His Majesty will immediately let people take a ladder to pick it up.

But Xue Ji saw it for the first time, and he was dumbfounded when he saw it, Mo said that it was the Son of Heaven above, even ordinary people did not have a son to talk to his father like this, he had only heard that the prince was favored before, who knew that it was such a favor. If you look at it this way, no one should think about King An or King Ning, who can move this prince......

The big dramas in the prince's mansion came out one after another, and the other side of Chang'an City was not stable.

This is the time when the eyes around the prison of the Criminal Department are the least in the past few months, and Shangshu Liang Jian also went to the prince's mansion for a banquet, leaving only a group of jailers who were talking and laughing while drinking and eating meat.

"A few masters, bother to open the door, this is for ...... Lord Lu's. ”

The jailer at the head was drinking happily, and when he turned around, he heard a sound, where was there any good temper, and he spat when he shouted: "If you give it to the king of heaven, I won't open it!" You can go back! ”

"Master, this is the meaning of the above, this person...... You understand. ”

The jailer's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, as if he had understood something, and groped his other hand towards his waist, but he didn't take it out for a long time, smiled at the person with some embarrassment, and then turned his head and shouted: "Sixth! Open the door to the nobles! ”

It was still the dark path, the jailer named Lao Liu led the people into the empty cell, and when they arrived at the door of the room where Lu Shuping was being held, Lao Liu owed to the man in black, turned his head and retreated.

When Lu Shuping heard the voice, he no longer shrank and didn't move like last time, and he didn't know how he guessed that maybe his road should come to an end today. "How many months has it been?"

The man suddenly laughed, as if mocking his downcast appearance. Staying in this place where there is no daylight, I can't eat enough food and clothing, and I don't even know what day or night it is.

"It's September 28."

"Oh......" Lu Shuping thought for a long time, and there was a look of pain in his eyes. It's the master's Qianqiu. ”

The man squatted down in front of him, put the food box he was holding on the ground, and gently lifted the lid, revealing a pot of wine inside, a jade cup, and the smell of wine told him that this wine was not a vulgar product.

"It's a big shot, Lu's life is quite valuable?" At this time, Lu Shuping actually smiled and looked up at the visitor.

The man glanced at him, bowed his head and poured a full cup and handed it forward. "But no, to pick such a good day for you, you have to be grateful to the master."

Lu Shuping took the jade cup, and saw the slightly turbid wine syrup inside clearly by the moonlight, and the cold wind of late autumn blew through, and he felt desolate in a trance.

He didn't rush to drink, and it was normal for men to be afraid of death, so he didn't start pouring him, but only said coldly: "The master is kind, the best quality given to the adult, if there is no pain, you can drink it with peace of mind." ”

Lu Shuping raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Is it really the master's meaning?" ”

The man was stunned, a little impatient. "Nonsense, it can still be a saint!"

"Huh." Lu Shuping shook his head, his eyes empty. "That's not what the master meant."

The man was a little angry, and rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to be strong, but Lu Shuping waved his hand again, and his eyes stopped him. "You don't have to."

"If Lu dies, the master can live in peace, and Lu will never resist."

The man retracted his hand, his gaze becoming more complicated. However, Lu Shuping smiled again, raised his head and drank all the poisonous wine in the cup, and then praised it softly: "It is indeed good wine, he ...... It's really generous. ”

The man snatched the empty cup from his hand and put it back in the food box, closed the lid a little impatiently, got up and turned his head to leave, but heard a long word behind him

"Let him take it easy, there will be no second Lu Shuping to block the arrow for him in the future."

The man paused, did not look back at him, only quickened his pace and hurried away. When they arrived at the door of the prison, those people were still drinking, so they casually threw away a bag of heavy things and ordered: "Lord Lu committed suicide in fear of sin, understand?" ”

The jailer put down his wine and opened his mouth to take a look, and immediately smiled. "Don't worry, no one has been here today!"

After the man left, the jailer raised his glass and said happily: "We're making a lot of money tonight!" Brothers, drink, I'm invited! ”

However, the sixth child was a little worried, frowning and looking at the direction where the person was gone: "Boss, is this really okay?" What's going to do with that one inside? ”

"How? Isn't it just for people to wrap up and throw them out, how many people have we thrown into mass graves, who cares about this. ”

The sound of the wind shuttling through the trees was especially poignant. Lu Shuping used to be an official of the second grade, and he was thriving in the two good places of the household department and the official department, but at this time, he was dressed in thin linen clothes, wrapped in straw mats, and was discarded on the corpses of countless people in the mass graves at will.

The people from the Criminal Department left Lu Shuping and turned around and left, and the entire mass grave fell silent again, and from time to time there were one or two crows wailing, which was even more poignant.

"Great, my lord, what do we have to do with this big night......"

As the direction from which the voice came, it was the direction in which the people from the Criminal Department left, and the voice got closer and closer, it was Chen Yu who came again with someone.

"Ho, mass graves." Smelling the stench coming from the depths of the jungle, Chen Yu frowned, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose. "It's really been how many years no one has taken care of it, and now it's so easy to kill someone in the prison of the Criminal Department."

"My lord, what are we going to do......

Chen Yu looked back at the people he brought, and saw that they hadn't moved yet, so he reprimanded: "What are you doing with a pestle!" Go in and search! ”

"Search, search for what?"

"Lu Shuping."
