Chapter 52: Desire to add sin

"It's also possible," the prince said, "What's more, the layout of the mansion is complicated, and the third brother and sister are here for the first time, maybe they are lost...... Hmph, I didn't expect the layout in the palace to inadvertently fulfill the third brother. ”

The prince was still angry, but in his heart, he was already calculating the time.

It won't be long before someone comes to spread an important message, and this news can resolve the crisis of Rong Yunxi's unknown whereabouts.

"If something like this happens, no matter what the reason is...... King Jing deliberately added the words 'what is the reason', "you should let the princess and sister-in-law know." The eldest brother still found the third sister-in-law, let's go to the palace together. ”

"What's the matter with you? Such a shameful thing, don't follow it. As a brother, I just want to do my duty as an elder brother and let your third brother know what is right and wrong in time. Do you think that this palace is really going to make it look like asking the queen mother to decide the case, and make her old man uneasy? There is no need for any witnesses, the palace and the third brother brought Huimei into the palace. This kind of family ugliness is still handled in a low-key manner. ”

"Big ......"

"Well, no more. Rong Hui beauty tidied up her clothes and calmed down. If the three brothers and sisters don't return before entering the palace, the palace will send someone to find them. ”

The prince's words were obviously said to the fourth child, but in fact, why didn't he say it to everyone present?

This is a royal family affair, the elder brother teaches the younger brother, where are there so many conspiracy theories? I can't even talk about the word "judging the case". It's just a brother's love for his younger brother.

However, the more the prince said this, the more he confirmed the catty in it. For a while, everyone was secretly thinking about ......

Who doesn't know that yesterday morning, the emperor appointed the three highnesses to supervise the rectification of the Sanhuai River? This is tantamount to saying that King Chen will be reused from now on.

Originally, King Chen and the crown prince went to the court to discuss politics together, and the metaphor was that there should have been two forces led by the prince in the court. It's just that King Chen has been hanging on his son, and the emperor didn't send him any actual errand except for letting him go to inspect the Jianghuai area, so this "metaphor" is just a "metaphor" after all, and it has not fallen into the light.

But with the post of superintendent of the Sanhuai River, the situation is very different. The renovation of the Sanhuai River involves many joints such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials, as well as the Sanhuai Governor, the Sanhuai Governor, and many famous families in the Sanhuai area...... Isn't this giving King Chen a chance to befriend them?

Except for Chen Zhijing, who is already the first secretary of the household department, these people are likely to become the Chenwang Party. If the situation is settled, then the partisan struggle begins......

At such a critical juncture, how could the prince not take action?

The prince noticed that the crowd was getting quieter, but he didn't think it was his gaffe. Because he never wanted to hide his plans and intentions from these people. What he wants is that everyone openly says that he is a victim, and everyone speaks for him in court and in private, but in fact, the truth is tacit.

He was going to test the faithfulness of these men. After knowing that this incident was called an accident and was actually a harm, if they still insisted that King Chen was rude, then they were the ones who really threw their hearts into him. If you are timid, such a person will not be deeply involved in the future.

They are aware of this, but if they really take refuge in him, won't they be able to work hard and pour dirty water on the third child openly and secretly? He doesn't need to make any arguments at all, there are people who work for him.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation outside the courtyard, and someone rushed to ......

"Oh no...... The house was robbed...... Oh no......" Zhang Fuhai hurriedly ran over.

"Your Highness...... Something is wrong! Zhang Fuhai was flustered, and he couldn't catch his breath.

Everyone bowed their heads sideways to make way for the prince. The prince went out and stood at the door of the room and asked, "What's the matter?" What kind of system is it that is panicked? ”

"Your Royal Highness, just now Mama Song went to the back house, and found that many yards in the back house were in a mess, the house was turned upside down, and several girls and maids were gone! Frightened, Mama Song hurriedly asked the slave to come over and pass it. Mama is following behind. ”

Zhang Fuhai deliberately reported very chaotically, as if he was really frightened.

The prince frowned and said, "You mean, there were thieves in our prince's mansion, not only stolen things, but also stole several concubines and maids in the palace by the way?" ”

"Uh-huh!" The small sea head is like pounded garlic.

King Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the prince's back......

Suddenly, he smiled: "So, what does the eldest brother mean is that the younger brother's princess was also kidnapped by those bandits who broke into the mansion?" What a coincidence! ”

"Third brother! When something like this happens, how can you still talk so leisurely? The prince said angrily.

As he spoke, he asked Zhang Fuhai nervously: "Are the two princesses still there?" How many treasures have been lost? How many women did you lose? ”

Zhang Fuhai shook his head and said, "Mama Song is frightened, and she hasn't talked to the slave yet." Just say that the minion runs fast, let the minion come and tell His Highness first. ”

"Oops...... This ......," Song Xu said, "This thief is so bold that he dares to offend the prince's mansion!" I don't think they want to live anymore! ”

For a while, everyone seemed to be infected by this tense atmosphere, waiting for Mama Song's arrival.

But in fact, I can't see that this is a plan, how many people can there be?

The prince first asked Zhang Fuhai to pass it on, but he didn't talk about the specifics, but only said a general idea, and completely focused everyone's attention on Mama Song. If King Chen and King Jing wanted to ask any questions, they naturally couldn't ask if they hadn't figured things out.

After waiting for a while, Mama Song hurried over and said what she saw in the back house. An old mother, who was scared silly, naturally spoke incoherently.

It's just a general meaning, and everyone understands it.

The theft in the back house seems to have been committed by a gang, because a total of five courtyards were looted, and all the gold and silver jewelry of the concubines were lost, and three concubines and two maids who happened to be in the house were taken away.

The coral girl was so frightened that she cried, and the slave couldn't ask why, she only said that she was so frightened that she could only hide behind the courtyard wall and not dare to make a sound. Everyone was in the front house, and she knew that she didn't wait for anyone to save her, and she suffered first. ”

"How many thieves are there, does she see clearly?"

"There were six thieves coming, and she could see that." Mama Song said.

Song Xu hurriedly said: "There are a total of six thieves, is it really one person who carried one away?" But there are only five women lost in the house, so who is the other one? Can you see two princesses and princesses? ”

"The slaves and maids are also afraid, and they have already asked a few little girls and little girls to go around to find the princesses and princesses."

Mama Song said.

"Tsk...... This is the ...... Could it be that the people from the rivers and lakes who have been wandering to Kyoto recently did it? "I heard that a group of Jianghu people who came to Kyoto City to do business recently have tattoos on their left arms, and I don't know what kind of gang they are. ”

"It's just that if there is no major event, the unwritten rules in the court and in the rivers and lakes are irrelevant. They hadn't done anything big in Kyoto Castle yet, maybe they were just here to travel, and Jing Zhaoyin didn't pay attention to it. The Criminal Department doesn't care about this stubble...... If it was really done by these people, what kind of face would the lower officials have to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again? It's all the negligence of the lower officials. ”

"Tattooed on the left arm?" Song Xu groaned, "Could it be that he is a member of the Iron Hand Gang? It is said that this is an evil gang in the rivers and lakes, and its actions are disorderly. Whether it is in the rivers and lakes or among ordinary people, whenever there is an opportunity, there is no evil. Burning, killing, looting, taking people's money and eliminating disasters are all things that are done. ”

Hearing Song Xu say this, several knowledgeable sons should also get along......

They all said, "Yes, I have heard of such a gang", "I heard that the robbers and flower pickers caught in the local government are in this gang nine times out of ten"......

For a while, everyone was worried about the girls who were lost in the prince's mansion.

The prince was also worried, and said, "If that's the case, there are no concubines in the palace...... Ay...... It doesn't matter, it's just that if the two royal sisters and the third brother and sister are also suffering, how can this palace go in this heart? ”

King Chen just sat on the chair and leisurely watched his eldest brother act.

Qin Yingyue got dressed, still sobbing softly......

King Chen looked at her several times, and tried to find her gaze several times, but she always hung her head and did not give him a chance to make eye contact.

So he was still at ease......

When he first knew about the prince's plan, because the clarity in his mind had not yet fully recovered, he was extremely worried about Rong Yunxi for a while. But I don't know what kind of dissipation method the effect of the medicine is, as if I was frightened, worried, and calmed down, the effect of the medicine dissipated faster. Now that he is completely sober, he is not worried about Rong Yunxi's safety.

Since the crown prince didn't do anything to Rong Yunxi before the wedding, after the wedding, especially at the critical juncture of the battle for the position of superintendent, it is even more impossible for him to let this matter have a chance to make a difference.

If Rong Yunxi can come back safely, then this matter will probably be hastily resolved after it is handed over to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and the Criminal Department. But if Rong Yunxi can't come back safely, this is a major event of the princess's murder, and the father will definitely ask about it, and it will not be so easy if you want to do it hastily.

And at this time, the prince didn't have the heart to do anything to Rong Yunxi at all, he was worried that there would be branches on the way, and if he was exposed, he would lose everything.

After confirming that Rong Yunxi would not be in danger, King Chen waited for the prince's play so leisurely.

It's just that he has already determined in his heart that today he was put on a table by the prince, and he didn't want to eat it, so he could only swallow it.

Because for the sake of today, the best way to deal with it is to make this matter a big thing a small thing. When she arrived at the Queen Mother, she only had to explain the process of this matter, and the Imperial Grandmother naturally knew it. As long as the emperor's grandmother knows in her heart, her father will naturally understand when she hears this.
