Chapter 103: The Bloody Case of the Chu Palace
Now that Zhu Huakui said this, it is obvious that he does not plan to pay this money.
And although Zhang Yong is the commander of the palace guards and has a lot of monthly salaries, it is only a few taels of silver at most a month.
If you want to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver, you can't get so much money by breaking him up and selling him.
But the problem is that he had already made a promise for the king of Chu before the war, and the hundreds of people who died in the battle today were all killed for the palace.
Now that people are dead, but the palace doesn't care, who will work for the palace in the future.
What's more, these people are in the prime of life, the pillars of the family, they are dead now, if there is no pension, then it is not them who die, but their family.
Therefore, Zhang Yong couldn't care about the pain in his throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Wang, these people are all dying for the palace. ”
"The reward can be less, but the pension can't be left unpaid."
"If it ......"
"Alright, don't say it."
Zhu Huakui didn't wait for Zhang Yong to finish speaking, so he directly interrupted him, "For your sake of repelling the thief army tonight, the king will not pursue what you promised for this king." ”
"As for the destruction of the mountain scenery, I think you have been with this king for so long, and you will be deducted for half a year."
"You're tired from the day today, don't say anything, go rest."
"But, the prince ......"
"That's it!
! ”
Zhang Yong wanted to say something more, but was still interrupted by Zhu Huakui.
Zhu Huakui looked at Zhang Yong coldly, and then said: "This king said, you are tired, go down!" ”
Zhu Huakui obviously didn't have the patience to talk to Zhang Yong anymore, if Zhang Yong chattered again, then he might let people directly escort Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong looked at Zhu Huakui in disbelief, he really couldn't figure out how Zhu Huakui could be short-sighted and stingy to this extent.
Just when Zhu Huakui wanted to turn around and leave, Ding Xiu, who had been watching the play for a long time, slowly walked out of the shadows.
Ding Xiu glanced at Zhang Yong, who was lost in his soul, and didn't pay attention to him, but shouted to Zhu Huakui, "Lord Wang, please stay." ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Huakui glanced up at Ding Xiu, not knowing why Ding Xiu's brocade guards appeared here, "Ding Qianhu, why are you here?" ”
"The thief army attacked just now, and I saw that the guards in the prince's mansion couldn't support it, so I killed some thieves by the way."
Ding Xiu's tone was very calm, as if he had done something insignificant.
However, when Zhu Huakui heard Ding Xiu's words, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Because he thought that Ding Xiu was also planning to ask him for bounties and pensions.
The guards in the palace have no identity and no background, and if they don't give it, they won't give it, but these brocade guards are different, especially this Ding Xiu, who seems to be still the emperor's favorite minister, if he doesn't give them to them, in case they go back to the capital and say something unpleasant, he will be prone to get into some trouble here.
Therefore, if Ding Xiu asked for money, he not only could not give it, but also gave more.
Thinking of this, Zhu Huakui sighed in his heart, and thought that he was ruined and avoided disasters, but fortunately, there were not many people in Jinyiwei.
After thinking clearly, Zhu Huakui immediately changed a smile on his face, "It's hard work for Ding Qianhu, and when I look back, the king asked the account office to pay two thousand taels of silver, which can be regarded as thanking Ding Qianhu for his great help." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yong, who was originally a little indifferent, subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhu Huakui, his eyes were full of sorrow.
It's just that Zhu Huakui didn't pay attention to what he meant, but looked at Ding Xiu with a smile and said, "I don't know what Ding Qianhu thinks?" ”
"The prince is too polite, the silver is not necessary, the humble position is just to solve a few thieves, it is really deserved."
After Ding Xiuwan refused the gratitude of the King of Chu, he said: "It's just that the thieves are too fierce now, I wonder if the prince has ever thought of donating some money to help the local defenders expand their armaments so as to eliminate the thieves?" ”
"Alas, this king has more than enough heart and not enough strength in this matter."
Although Zhu Huakui was a little surprised that Ding Xiu would not want money, but opened his mouth to persuade him to donate, he didn't take this matter to heart, and directly took out the remarks he had with Zuo Liangyu last time.
"Although this king has a thin property, there are many people who need to support such a large palace."
"If nothing else, let's just say that the house demolished by the thieves this time will need a lot of silver to repair."
"Therefore, although the king has a good income, he also spends a lot, and he doesn't have much money left in his hand, so he can't do anything about donations."
"Really?"
Hearing Zhu Huakui say this, Ding Xiu's tone suddenly cooled down, he looked at Zhu Huakui, and said in a tone without waves: "But how did you hear that the prince's family has no less than one million gold and silver, and the wealth is rivaled by the country?" ”
"Who? Which bastard is this chewing tongue behind his back? ”
When Zhu Huakui heard Ding Xiu say this, he immediately became anxious, and he shouted loudly: "When did this king's family have so much money? He's slandering, you call this bastard out, this king has to kill him today! ”
"Heh......"
Ding Xiu sneered, and then said: "This is said by Your Majesty, does the prince still think that someone is chewing the root of his tongue?" ”
"What?"
Zhu Huakui was a little shocked when he heard this, and his face turned a little white with fright, "How is this possible, someone must be bewitching Your Majesty behind your back, this king wants to give Your Majesty a fold, this king wants to make it clear to Your Majesty, this must be someone who wants to harm this king." ”
"You don't have a chance."
Ding Xiu shook his head, and then without waiting for Zhu Huakui to hear what he meant, he stepped forward directly and stabbed him in the heart.
"Boom...... Gurg...... Boom......"
Zhu Huakui, who was choked by the surging blood, couldn't say a word, just made a meaningless strange sound in his throat, and then looked at Ding Xiu in disbelief, as if he didn't expect that Ding Xiu would dare to kill him until he died.
Looking at the dead eyes of the King of Chu, Ding Xiu leaned over to the ears of the King of Chu and said softly: "Your Majesty has an order, the vassal kings of all regions only know how to collect money, and do not think about serving the country. ”
"Lord Wang, you are the first, but it will never be the last, go with peace of mind."
Hearing Ding Xiu's words, the King of Chu not only did not have the slightest peace of mind, but was even more excited, he was already on the verge of dying, he didn't know where the strength came from, grabbed Ding Xiu's clothes, and at the same time glared at Ding Xiu angrily.
Seeing the appearance of the King of Chu, Ding Xiu knew what he was thinking, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Wealth is confiscated, and the bloodline can be kept." ”
Hearing Ding Xiu's words, Chu King Zhu Huakui finally exhaled his last breath, then spread Ding Xiu's clothes, closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
This sudden change stunned everyone in the Chu Palace, and no one thought that Jin Yiwei would dare to kill the King of Chu in public.
However, before they could speak, the Jinyi Guard, who had already leaned in the past, suddenly pulled out the knife in his hand and directly killed all the people present in the Chu Palace.
Let's get off the book
Then these people didn't stop, and walked directly to the backyard of the Chu Wangfu with a knife.
Ding Xiu looked at Zhang Yong, who was stupid in place, and said directly: "Ma Shixiu led the crowd to rebel and wanted to loot the palace of the king of Chu. ”
"Commander Zhang, do you understand?"
Ding Xiu said this very clearly, so Zhang Yong also understood what Ding Xiu meant, but he didn't understand why Ding Xiu dared to do this, and he didn't understand why Ding Xiu would keep him.
"Why do you want to kill the King of Chu? Why do you want to leave me? ”
"This is what Your Majesty meant, the King of Chu, they are too rich, the people are too poor, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to help the people, so Your Majesty has no choice but to come forward to be this wicked person."
"And since Your Majesty has done this, he is not afraid that others will know, so it is the same whether he kills you or not."
Ding Xiu glanced at Zhang Yong indifferently, and then said: "As for why I left you, after all, the King of Chu is the bloodline of Taizu, and you are the commander of the guards of the Chu Palace, the little prince of the Chu Palace, and you will need to take care of it in the future." ”
"I'll take care of it?"
Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel cold in his heart when he heard this, because there were countless people in the palace who were close to the king of Chu, and according to the rules, it was not his turn to take care of the little prince of Chu.
Therefore, the meaning behind Ding Xiu's words is that all the people who are close to the King of Chu tonight will have to die except for Xiao Shizi.
Is this Jinyiwei? It's so vicious.
Zhang Yong only felt cold all over his body at this time, looking at Ding Xiu's eyes, as if he was looking at a demon who chose people to devour.
He nodded with difficulty, and then spoke:
"Humble ...... If you know it, you will take care of the little son. ”
"Whatever you want."
Ding Xiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "After all, the King of Chu is the Taizu lineage, if you don't take good care of it, one day your majesty will remind you of the King of Chu, and it is your whole family who will die, not my whole family." ”
After saying this, Ding Xiu didn't stop, and turned around and left directly.
Before leaving, he did not forget to carefully wipe the blood off the knife before inserting the knife into the sheath.
This knife now has another life on it, and after going back, it is even more worthy of worship.
The killing in the palace of the king of Chu lasted until the early hours of the morning.
According to the statement that Jin Yiwei released the next day, in the entire Chu Wang's Mansion, except for some teenagers who were no more than ten years old, the rest were all killed.
Then Jinyi Wei found out that the murderer was Ma Shixiu under Zuo Liangyu, and Ma Shixiu took a risk to attack the Chu Wangfu because of the shortage of food.
But this matter was noticed by Zuo Liangyu in time, and after a bloody battle, although some rescue was not available, resulting in the death of the King of Chu, but fortunately, he barely kept the bloodline of the King of Chu.
In the whole thing, the Jinyiwei was completely taken out, but it was mentioned that the Jinyiwei happened to be in Wuchang Mansion, and after the blood eucalyptus occurred, even if he took over the Chu Wangfu and protected the bloodline of the Chu King, the rest had nothing to do with Jinyiwei.
