Chapter 182: Saving People
"Your Highness, you can come back."
The cold-faced guard Mo Lin immediately rushed forward the moment he saw King Duan.
King Duan was so angry by the Great Elder that he instructed as he walked, "Gather people, and after the people of Miao Jiang leave Kyoto tomorrow, no one will be left." ”
Mo Lin felt that the most important thing at the moment was not Miao Jiang's people, so he followed behind King Duan and walked quickly in the direction of the study.
"Your Highness, Lian Shangshu has been waiting in the palace for a long time, because King Kang found the bodies of the two sons of Liu Shilang's family in the moat downstream today——"
Duan Wang's footsteps slammed, and he turned to look at Mo Lin, "What? ”
"I don't know the specific matters, but I only saw that Lian Shangshu was sweating profusely in a hurry——"
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”
King Duan shouted angrily, turned around and hurried to the study with the soles of his feet in the wind.
Even Shangshu felt a little difficult to breathe, and at this critical juncture, King Duan didn't know where he went!
He paced back and forth in his study, his eyes casually catching a glimpse of the empty wall.
He remembered—when he used to come to the palace, there was always a faceless portrait there—
After a week of patrolling, I saw a scroll on a bookshelf, and the texture of the scroll was very similar to what I had seen before.
The ghost sent the gods, and Lian Shangshu walked to the bookshelf.
Duan Wang has a deep habit of cleanliness, and he doesn't like anything that anyone touches him at will.
This is the most taboo thing for Duanwang.
Lian Shangshu couldn't help but glance down at his palm, which was quite clean.
But this is Duanwang's study, although Duanwang is his nephew, the two of them are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and a lot of information is shared.
But the portrait was put away by King Duan, would it be inappropriate for him to watch it casually?
hesitated again and again, but Lian Shangshu's body had already begun to move.
He slowly raised his hand, and only glanced left and right to get in the way!
The moment his fingers touched the scroll, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and Duanwang's body seemed to be surrounded by black gas, "Lian Shangshu!" ”
"Huh? Your Highness, Your Highness—" Lian Shangshu was startled by the sudden appearance of King Duan, and his palm shook, and he accidentally knocked down the scroll.
The scroll fell to the ground from under the high bookshelf and spread out in an instant, and when Lian Shangshu hurriedly lowered his head to see the contents of the portrait, a palm wind hit behind Duanwang, and the slowly spread out portrait was rolled up again.
"Lian Shangshu is so bold? Do you dare to touch the things in the king's study at will? ”
King Duan walked towards Lian Shangshu step by step, ignoring the portrait on the soles of his feet, but staring at him with the most gloomy expression.
Lian Shangshu hurriedly said: "The lower official just accidentally touched it, and I ask His Highness to forgive me!" ”
Mo Lin walked in and picked up the scroll and put it away, and after glancing at Lian Shangshu indifferently, he walked out of the study and closed the door.
Duanwang's eyes froze, and he wondered if Lian Shangshu had seen the face on the portrait—
Lian Shangshu remembered the purpose of coming to the palace today, and said to the other king in a panic: "Your Highness, something is wrong, King Kang coincidentally found the body of the son of the Liu family today——"
"In the huge Kyoto, only moats and dams can bury corpses?" Duanwang's anger today is no longer something that can be vented just by roaring, he suddenly reached out and locked Lian Shangshu's neck, approached Lian Shangshu's ear, and gritted his teeth and said:
"It has rained again and again recently, and the river dam has been in disrepair for a long time, don't tell this king that you don't know?"
Lian Shangshu had never felt so close to death, and the Duan King in his eyes was like a poisonous snake that had lost his mind, and it had reached the point where his six relatives did not recognize him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness—" Lian Shangshu was out of breath, his old face was bloodshot and red for a moment, and he reluctantly said: "The lower officials don't know, the people below will bury the body in the river dam-"
Seeing him spitting out a few words with difficulty, King Duan was upset when he heard it, and as soon as his fingers loosened, Lian Shangshu instantly knelt on the ground.
He couldn't care about the pain in his neck, and explained breathlessly: "Cough, it stands to reason that few people go downstream of the river dam, and the other people who buried the corpse have also done the follow-up work, how did they be discovered by King Kang——"
His suspicions were not unreasonable, King Duan pondered with a cold face, it stands to reason that ordinary people can't find the corpse buried in the river dam.
Or if you want to find it, it's hard to see the clues.
But Chu Huailian found the bodies of the two as soon as he took office?
Didn't even use a day?
Duan Wang slowly sat down on the chair, took out Jin Pa Mu Ne, and wiped his fingers from his arms.
"Interesting."
Lian Shangshu rearranged his kneeling posture, beads of sweat the size of beans fell like rain, and a pair of old eyes stared at the ground with an anxious look, is this the time to discuss interesting and boring?
"Your Highness, now that the body has been discovered, what should I do?"
After the incident from the east window of Jinshui Lake, Lian Shangshu destroyed all the evidence overnight in order to clear up the relationship with Liu Shilang.
But the emperor is not a fool, how can he fool the past without evidence?
King Duan wiped his fingers clean, and pinched his eyebrows weakly, "It's really not possible to find a few people who have an enmity with the son of the Liu family to take this matter to the top, and my uncle may have to bear the guilt." ”
Lian Shangshu's back stiffened, and when it came to the matter of official silver, the emperor would not spare him.
At present, the meaning of King Duan's words is that he wants him to take it all on his body?
"Your Highness—"
"Lian Shangshu!" King Duan raised his hand to stop Lian Shangshu's words, and his tone softened.
"If you do something wrong, you always have to pay the price - what's more, is it possible that Lian Shangshu thinks that his life is more important than the Lian family?"
Even the family is like the Xie family, a hundred years of hairpins, and there have been two queens and one first assistant.
In addition to Lian Shangshu's room, there are also many other rooms who serve in the court.
Even if the emperor is angry, he will not uproot the family.
Otherwise, the situation will be shaken.
At present, the king of Duan can only silently pray that the emperor will not involve him as well.
Lian Shangshu listened to Duanwang's indifferent words, and was so shocked that he lost his normal reaction ability.
It is true that he made it clear to King Duan when he first acted, saying that he would use the official silver to assist King Duan in cultivating his army in the future.
When a catastrophe came, King Duan abandoned him?
While he was pondering, Duanwang's faint voice came again: "This king promised his uncle that he would crown Yuyao's child as the crown prince in the future!" ”
Lian Shangshu was still thinking about how to refute King Duan's decision, but this sentence made his heart shake-
……
Infinite Hills.
With a smile on his face as he walked briskly into the cave, the master of the Wuji Hall walked briskly into the cave.
"Owner, King Duan has made a move today."
The silver-robed man immediately asked, "What action?" ”
The hall master of Wuji Hall said respectfully: "After releasing the news of Mrs. Xie's disappearance, King Duan first summoned a woman in white in the mansion, and then went to Honglu Temple to meet the people of Miao Jiang. ”
"Miao Jiang's people—" The corners of his lips under the silver mask finally curled, "I see!" ”
"Immediately gather people and go to Honglu Temple to save people!"
