"Your Highness is dining, there is no one around to serve you...... Guo Xinyue laughed, "Let the folk girl pour you wine and vegetables." ”

Guo Xinyue's voice was delicate, the kind that killed people and didn't pay for their lives, and Jiang Shishi had goosebumps all over her body when she heard it.

After Guo Xinyue spoke, she didn't hear the prince's voice.

It is estimated that the prince made some gestures, or acquiesced to Guo Xinyue picking up vegetables for him.

Then, Jiang Shishi also heard Guo Xinyue say in a squeamish voice: "I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle and handsome, heroic and extraordinary. The folk girl toasts you with a ......"

"When I came to Chudi alone, I had already heard of Miss Guo's reputation as the 'King of Silk Strings', and today I heard the girl playing the guzheng with my own ears, and sure enough, the aftermath was lingering and the style was moving."

Jiang Shishi: "......"

Next, there is the coquettish sound and laughter that Guo Xinyue made when she served vegetables, poured wine, and accompanied the wine, as well as the sound of Guo Xinyue and the prince laughing at each other.

After about a stick of incense, Jiang Shishi heard Guo Xinyuejiao's voice, "Your Highness has drunk too much, and the folk girl will help you go to the guest room to rest......"

Yu Bing clasped his hands around his chest and glanced at Jiang Shishi with an indifferent expression, "This obviously drunk surnamed Guo doesn't mean to drink, why don't you go in and take a look and intercept the prince?" ”

"Then Guo Xinyue is indeed a drunkard, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not that kind of person." Jiang Shishi said lightly.

Yu Bing raised his eyebrows, "A man doesn't have a good thing, so you trust him so much?" ”

Yu Bing was born in a family of generals, those men in the clan, whether they are young or old, which one is not three wives and four concubines, see one and love the other?

"......" Not to mention that Jiang Shishi knows the prince well enough, as far as a man like the prince is concerned, what kind of beauty and demon have not been seen?

If he was a good woman, he would have been taken away by those goblins a long time ago, so why would he still be a lonely person now?

There must be a reason why such a man suddenly has a relationship with Rakuki.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of laughter to disappear, but the sound of fighting faintly came out.

Hearing that something was wrong in the boat, Yu Bing and the guards rushed in as soon as possible.

When Jiang Shishi entered, she saw the prince sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals.

The man held the wine cup in his hand, turned his wrist slightly, and shook the wine in the glass nonchalantly.

As for Guo Xinyue, Jiang Shishi glanced at the boat several times, only to find that Guo Xinyue, who was originally sitting on the side playing the guzheng, was actually lying at the feet of the prince at this moment.

Guo Xinyue's slender jade hands playing the guzheng were holding a sharp dagger, and the prince trampled on the ground without pity.

Seeing that the guards all rushed in, Pei Xuanling ordered in a deep voice, "Tie her up!" ”

Yu Bing immediately stepped forward and found a twist rope to tie up Guo Xinyue's five flowers.

"Temple... Your Highness, what is going on? When Governor Liu heard the movement, he didn't finish his meal and rushed over.

"Guo Xinyue tried to assassinate Lone, and Lone was preparing to interrogate her." Pei Xuanling said lightly: "It's just right that Lord Liu is here, so let's interrogate together." ”

Hearing this, Governor Liu was so frightened that he immediately knelt in front of the prince, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with the lower officials......

Pei Xuanling said casually: "Lord Liu is really good at laughing, this boat was prepared by you, and Miss Guo was also arranged by you, how can it have nothing to do with you?" ”

"Lord Liu, I think you are afraid that Your Highness will go to the Yamen tomorrow to check the account books, so you want to assassinate Your Highness before that!" Huang Dechang snorted coldly.

If this is a prince like King Huai, he may have fallen for the plan of Governor Liu.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a woman, let Guo Xinyue make a beauty trick, and His Royal Highness just wants to see what tricks she plays.

"No... That's not true... His Royal Highness the Prince, the officials have been wronged......" Governor Liu kowtowed to the prince again and again.

Then, he stretched out his hand to Guo Xinyue and asked angrily: "Guo Xinyue, this official spent money to invite you to the ship, because I wanted you to accompany His Highness well, but you actually had the audacity to assassinate His Highness, saying!" Who the hell made you do that?! ”

"......" Guo Xinyue knelt on the ground by the five flowers, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Liu, and no one else instructed me, it was I who heard that His Royal Highness was collecting taxes indiscriminately among the people, so I had murderous intentions towards His Highness." ”

"I don't need you to help me clarify, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Governor Liu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, eager to strangle this Guo Xinyue.

He would rather Guo Xinyue smear him, and he didn't want Guo Xinyue to take all the responsibility and help him speak.

Does this not clearly show that he and Guo Xinyue are accomplices?

Pei Xuanling applauded and approved: "In this way, Miss Guo is still a fairly righteous woman, so you assassinated Gu, is this intended to eliminate harm for the people?" ”

Guo Xinyue straightened her waist, "Exactly." ”

His eyes fell on Guo Xinyue's slender jade hands, and Pei Xuanling said with pity: "Such a pair of beautiful hands, how good it is to play the guzheng, but you have to use it to assassinate the lonely ......"

Speaking of this, Pei Xuanling's expression froze, "Someone came, dragged her out, and pumped her hands and tendons!" ”

Huang Dechang answered "yes", and led a few guards to drag Guo Xinyue out.

This Guo Xinyue assassinated His Royal Highness, not to mention drawing tendons, it was not an exaggeration to cut off her hands and take her life.

Hearing that he was going to be pumped, Guo Xinyue, who was originally fearless, flashed a trace of fear in his eyes.

She has been learning to play the guzheng since she was a child and has been playing it for more than ten years.

On weekdays, she cherishes her own hands the most.

Now that the prince has given an order, he is going to draw the tendons of her hands, which is equivalent to abolishing her hands, so how can she play the guzheng?

In this dynasty where men are superior to women, she can gain a foothold in Lefang because she can play the guzheng well.

If her hands are wasted and she can't play the guzheng, then what is the difference between her and the wasted?

But since she chose to assassinate the prince, even if she confessed everything, even if the prince let her go, she would not be able to escape death.

Because, once she confesses to the person who instructed her behind the scenes, with her understanding of that person, the other party will never let her go.

Since the dilemma is death, it is better to go down the road to the end!

When Guo Xinyue was dragged out, Governor Liu still knelt there tremblingly, not daring to say a word or get up.

Not long after, Guo Xinyue's painful screams of cramps came from outside.

When Huang Dechang and the others brought Guo Xinyue to the hall again, Guo Xinyue's hands were covered with blood, swollen, bruised, and looked shocking.

Jiang Shishi frowned, the prince is really a ruthless person!

Huang Dechang threw Guo Xinyue to the ground, "Your Highness, this Guo Xinyue is a hard-mouthed person, that is, her hands were wasted, and she fainted in pain, and she still refused to say a word." ”

Now that Guo Xinyue fainted to death, Pei Xuanling shifted his gaze to Governor Liu.

Facing the sharp eyes of the prince, Governor Liu said tremblingly: "Your Highness, the lower official is really wronged, this Guo Xinyue assassinated you on the ship, it must have been instructed by others......"

Pei Xuanling: "You said you were wronged, but you are so decent, why did you arrange for her to play the guzheng on the boat?" ”

"This ......" Liu Zhifu explained with some difficulty: "Xia Guan doesn't know what the officialdom in the capital is, in our Chu land, regardless of businessmen talking about business, or officialdom for entertainment, the upper class aristocratic men all go to Fengyue places to discuss matters, and you rarely come to Chudi, Xia Guan received you in accordance with local customs." ”

In officialdom, men always like to discuss matters in the Qinglou, or find some women to accompany them.

Because of the presence of a woman to accompany him, the originally treacherous and cunning people can also unload part of the city government, and they can be much happier when deliberating.

I have long heard that the prince's city is quite deep and is quite strict with the people below, so he invited Guo Xinyue to accompany the prince, hoping that Guo Xinyue can be liked by the prince.

If there are any places where he is not well entertained, I also hope that the prince can forgive him for the sake of Guo Xinyue, a beautiful woman.

Who knew that this Guo Xinyue didn't fall into the eyes of the prince at all, and Guo Xinyue also assassinated the prince, and now it was difficult for him to jump into the Yellow River.

Jiang Shishi: "......" is an upper-class aristocrat, in her opinion, it is just a group of powerful and rich indecent people.

Pei Xuanling: "......" Regarding the situation mentioned by Governor Liu, it is not only in Chudi, but also in the capital.

"Even if this is a local custom, it is too coincidental for you to arrange a rakko to assassinate Gu."

"Your Royal Highness, as a local prefect, Xia Guan is only loyal to the imperial court, and you are the prince of the dynasty, how could Xia Guan assassinate you......" Liu Zhifu made a bitter face.

"Alas, so far, you suspect that Xia Guan asked Guo Xinyue to assassinate you, but this Guo Xinyue is a good friend of the prince of Chu, she was wasted on the boat arranged by Xia Guan, I am afraid that the prince of the world... It's not easy for the lower officials to explain......"

The imperial power of the Eastern Liang State was centralized, and even the six departments were directly led by the emperor.

Even a vassal king like the King of Chu only has some military power.

The king of Chu also only had jurisdiction over foreign warfare, and his guards were limited.

The local government affairs are managed by a prefect like him.

In addition, he also has an important task, which is to monitor the king of Chu.

On weekdays, he and the king of Chu are regarded as well water and do not interfere with river water.

But if there is a conflict between the two sides, he is still a little afraid of the king of Chu, after all, he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands.

Moreover, the heir of the prince of Nachu is thin, and he has only one son under him, and he is very pampered.

As a result, Yi Enyang, the prince of Chu, had a reckless personality, acted impulsively, and never considered the consequences.

This Guo Xinyue has a problem in his hands, and it is possible that Yi Enyang sent someone to kill him.

Pei Xuanling raised his eyebrows, "Guo Xinyue is Yi Enyang's friend?" ”

Governor Liu nodded, "Guo Xinyue is a musician in Lefang, she is beautiful, and she plays the guzheng well, many local men have taken a fancy to her, but they dare not pursue her." ”

"Just because Yi Enyang often goes to the music shop to support Guo Xinyue, and often asks Guo Xinyue to go out to play, or invites Guo Xinyue to come to the Chu Palace, so the two of them are well-known in this area."

Hearing this, Pei Xuanling twisted his eyebrows, and his eyes turned slightly.

Before he could think about it, the whole search boat suddenly began to shake violently and shake.

For a while, the people in the ship couldn't even stand still.

Jiang Shishi immediately held the big red pillar in the boat, and at the same time, a warm hand held her right hand.
