Chapter 803: Confrontation between Ancestors and Grandchildren
Like the crown prince and others, there are obviously many people, among them, there is the grandfather of the eldest prince, Wang Depu Wang Shangshu, the secretary of the military department.
This morning, the chaos began to end, and Xiao Liang's death caused the emperor to be furious, which was both unexpected and seemed reasonable.
Approaching the end of the year, the emperor wants to have a good year, naturally he doesn't want to hear the news of the dead, it's always bad luck, not to mention, the dead are still the emperor's relatives, even if the emperor doesn't like it and doesn't care about Xiao Liang, at this time, he has to show his importance to Xiao Liang.
I can't write two Xiao characters in one stroke, so I inherit the emperor's surname, even for the sake of his own face, the emperor will ask someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, to see who is so bold and dares to do evil deeds under the roots of the imperial city.
Although some people suspect that Xiao Liang was killed by Lu Zheng, in the depths of Wang Depu's heart, he is more inclined to another person.
This thought made him a little restless.
It was easy to get to lunch, Wang Depu arranged his henchmen, quietly left through the back door of the Ministry of War, and went to the Ruiwang Mansion in a small sedan chair with blue curtains.
When Wang Depu arrived at Ruiwang's mansion, Ruiwang was having lunch, and when he heard that Wang Depu was coming, his eyebrows wrinkled, and the soup spoon in his hand was thrown into the soup bowl, and his tone seemed to be unhappy.
"Why did you come here at this time?"
The subordinate who passed the message lowered his head and didn't dare to talk nonsense, but said: "Back to the words of the prince, the slave doesn't know." ”
Wang Shangshu came to find King Rui's grandson to do something, would he still talk to him as a minion, King Rui asked him this, how could he answer?
King Rui obviously knew that a slave could not know anything, and he could not turn Wang Depu away, so he ordered Wang Depu to be invited in.
Not long after, Wang Depu arrived at the dining room, Rui Wang was eating, and when he saw Wang Depu coming, he just stopped the spoon and looked at Wang Depu, and did not get up.
"Grandfather is here, at this hour, Grandfather can have lunch, if you haven't used it, why don't you eat with this king," Wang Depu of the Rui Dynasty smiled, and then instructed his subordinates, "Bring another pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
The subordinate bowed his head and silently withdrew from the dining room.
Wang Depu saw King Rui's unhurried appearance, and felt a fire in his heart.
He secretly took two breaths, and then bowed to King Rui and said, "Your Highness, the old minister has something to discuss, I don't know if Your Highness can move the study." ”
How could he have the heart to eat lunch at this time, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, if he didn't figure out this matter, no matter how good the delicacies of the mountains and seas came to his mouth, it was just the same taste as chewing wax.
King Rui didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and when he heard this, he still didn't care much and asked, "I don't know what my grandfather is looking for me?" No matter how big the thing is, you can't skip eating, since my grandfather didn't use lunch, then I just used some with me, my grandfather is old, his body and bones are weak, how can he do without lunch. ”
Wang Depu couldn't help but be more angry when King Rui's contemptuous tone said, and he couldn't help it, so he took a step forward, gritted his teeth and whispered: "The old minister has something important to discuss, please move His Highness to the study, and eat lunch later, it won't be delayed for much time." ”
Wang Depu insisted so much, and King Rui didn't go too far, so he could only stand up when he heard the words, and said: "Since my grandfather has something important to discuss, then I can have lunch later, then, my grandfather will come with me." ”
With that, Rui Wang Ben took the first step and walked out of the dining room.
Seeing this, Wang Depu hurriedly followed.
After a while, the grandfather and grandson went to the study.
The servant took the hot tea and retreated, and closed the door of the study very sensibly.
King Rui invited Wang Depu to sit down and drink tea, Wang Depu didn't have any intention to drink tea, and when there was no one else in the study, he asked urgently: "Please also ask Your Highness to have a solid relationship with the old minister, does the matter of the prince of Dejun have anything to do with His Highness?" ”
Wang Depu didn't follow King Rui to make a fool of himself, it was really unnecessary.
He can guess, others can actually guess, and what he has an advantage over others is nothing more than being the first to know the inside story.
This is also the purpose of his hurried to the Rui Wangfu.
His intuition told him that the eldest prince was absolutely inseparable from this matter!
"What does this mean by my grandfather? Could it be that my grandfather suspected that I was a murderer! However, to Wang Depu's disappointment, King Rui did not answer him directly, but questioned him in turn.
Rui Wang's attitude made Wang Depu's face suddenly look ugly.
In fact, if King Rui takes the initiative to admit it, Wang Depu will not be angry, the matter has already happened, Xiao Liang is dead, people can't be resurrected after death, even if he is angry, it is useless, all he can do is to help King Rui perform this play more excitingly.
He is a person who likes to maximize profits, and if Xiao Liang's case is operated properly, there may be a windfall!
These are all the thoughts in Wang Depu's heart before coming to Rui Wangfu.
In the face of him, the king of Kerui refused to tell the truth, and faced him with a questioning tone, which really made him sad and angry!
"Your Highness," because he was angry, Wang Depu's voice also cooled down, and he was not respectful, "Lao Chenhuai doesn't doubt that His Highness has anything important, what matters is that people outside don't suspect His Highness, and the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple don't doubt His Highness!" ”
As soon as King Rui heard Wang Depu's words, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted at Wang Depu with some anger: "The king outside has all been taken care of, they suspect that Lu Zheng is too late, why should they suspect this king!" King Dejun is the person of this king, Lu Zheng is the person of the prince, and he has an enmity with Xiao Liang, the criminal department and Dali Temple should be suspicious, and they should also suspect Lu Zheng and suspect what this king has done! ”
Wang Depu was about to laugh at King Rui's "naivety", and he really laughed, but he just sneered.
"Your Highness can't be a fool when everyone else, you also said that Lu Zheng is the prince's person, can't the prince ask someone to go out and spread the word, saying that Xiao Liang was killed by you! Anyway, there is no evidence, who is not suspicious! When the time comes, Lu Zheng won't do anything, Your Highness, you will make a fuss again, but it will really be impossible to steal chickens and rice! ”
Just a few words from King Chongrui, Wang Depu was enough to conclude that Xiao Liang was killed by the eldest prince!
The words of the eldest prince are no different from directly admitting them!
This person, I'm not afraid to be stupid, I'm afraid that you are stupid and you don't know yet, how smart you should be, Wang Depu suddenly felt a little depressed, with the IQ of the eldest prince, can he really fight the prince and finally ascend to the throne?
For the first time, this Liubu Shangshu, who had calculated for most of his life, was skeptical of his decision.
When the eldest prince heard Wang Depu's sarcastic words, his face became more and more ugly, and he glared at Wang Depu fiercely, saying, "Then let's wait and see, and see who suffers in the end!" ”
