Chapter 304: Murder pays for life
Steward Chen, who was in charge of sending him over, was speechless.
"Second son, didn't you understand what I said to you before? This time it is Zhu Gaoxuan, the king of Liang, who arrested you, and our Governor General can't settle him at all. It's good that you can save your life now, how can you still be in the mood to pick and choose? ”
The second son frowned.
"Is it that serious? My father had made great achievements in the war, and even the current emperor wants to give my father some face. Could it be that King Liang still dares to kill me? ”
The old butler snorted coldly.
"If your lord begs to go to Your Majesty, maybe you can really be spared the death penalty of the second son. But don't forget that you will be disapproved of the king's order. If King Liang and the Seventh Prince directly clicked you here, do you think His Majesty will deal with his own uncle and son for this matter? ”
Chen Ergongzi frowned and was speechless.
And in the following days, he was indeed safe and quiet, obediently hiding in his room.
But maybe because of his weak heart as a thief, he always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him secretly.
He then asked his men to search around, but they found no suspicious people.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up.
At the same time, Governor Chen had been invited by Zhu Gaoxuan to the Seventh Prince's foothold in the town.
After only a few days, Governor Chen seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face was extremely haggard.
He was respectful.
"Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness King Liang, the dog has caused a monstrous disaster, and the lower officials are ashamed, and they all blame the lower officials for teaching their sons."
The Seven Kings snorted coldly.
"You also know that you have no way to teach your own children? This king has heard that your precious son has killed a lot of people before, but you have suppressed it. You're really a parent in vain! ”
Governor Chen's face became more and more difficult to look at when he heard this.
However, he had already thought of his words before he came.
"The lower official is guilty, but the lower official is also wronged. The subordinate officials really didn't know about those things at the time, and they were all covered up by their subordinates. ”
He was looking for a good reason......
Zhu Gaoxuan smiled.
"There is no way to verify the past, so this king does not want to pursue it. This king just wants to deal with the matter now. Master Chen, you should understand the truth of killing people to pay for their lives. ”
Governor Chen's face was bloodless.
"Hasn't the dog been brought back by the prince now? If you want to kill, you have to scrape and let the prince dispose of it. ”
I have to admit that Governor Chen is still very good at acting.
When he said these words, he did not miss any flaws.
The Seventh Prince is very angry.
"This is strange, the people sent out by King Liang were robbed on the way, and the second son was also taken away. We thought it was Lord Chen who did it, but wasn't it? ”
Master Chen seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then fell to his knees with a thud and swore to speak.
"Xia Guan can swear to heaven that Xia Guan will never send anyone to rob people. And the lower official has just heard about it......"
Zhu Gaoxuan frowned slightly, looking at Governor Chen to continue acting.
Only when he paused did he speak in a faint tone.
"It seems that this matter really has nothing to do with Governor Chen. That must have been intercepted by someone else, come on, hurry up and investigate this matter. To live to see people, to die to see corpses. I have to get the second son back at all costs. ”
His men took the order and left.
Governor Chen looked at their departing backs, his brows furrowed.
"How so? Could it be that the fox friend that the dog usually makes saved him? ”
"But his friends are very unreliable, and they may not do such a thing."
"Maybe it's the hand of a nearby rogue, or maybe it's his enemy......"
The Seventh Prince smiled.
"I think there's a possibility......
Outside, there was the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the door.
Then, two guards from the Governor's Palace entered.
They looked like dusty people, and as soon as they entered the door, they fell to their knees.
"Back to the two princes, my lord's words, someone on the west bank of the city saw the body of the second son, but the corpse has been unrecognizable, and there are many wounds on the body, it seems that the second son should have been killed by the enemy......"
Governor Chen seemed stunned for a moment, and then immediately began to cry.
Zhu Gaoxuan and the Seventh Prince glanced at each other, and then asked.
"Where is the body now, have you brought it?"
The waiter replied hurriedly.
"It's in the carriage outside."
When the guard's voice landed, Governor Chen stumbled out.
And by this time, someone had already carried the body out of the carriage.
The corpse had long been unrecognizable, but the clothes on the body were indeed worn by the second son before.
The smell of disgusting corpses fills the air and makes people smell sick.
Ordinary people can't get close, so they just vomit.
Governor Chen still spread directly in front of the corpse, and continued to cry, crying out one after another.
While he was crying here, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside.
The carriage stopped, and a man was escorted out of the carriage by the guards.
All eyes were on the man.
Sensing that the atmosphere nearby was wrong, Governor Chen also raised his head, and at a glance he saw a man's face, which instantly turned into a wood carving stone sculpture.
Because that man is the baby son Chen Ergongzi who he did everything possible to send away before.
Governor Chen was stunned for a moment.
How so?
Before, the housekeeper also spread a message that his precious son was very honest over there, and he didn't even step out of the door.
And no suspicious people were found in the vicinity.
How did you get it back so quickly?
He subconsciously turned to look at Zhu Gaoxuan on the side.
The corners of Zhu Gaoxuan's lips raised slightly, making him immediately understand something.
It turned out that everything he did was under the control of His Royal Highness the King of Liang.
Desperation, drowning Governor Chen in an instant.
His eyes were dark, his legs were weak, and he fell directly to his knees.
The Seventh Prince spoke in a cold tone.
"Governor Chen, you are still a veteran of the Three Dynasties, but you have spoiled your son like this, and you still don't know how to repent......"
"When your men robbed him, the people of the King of Liang followed behind. It's just that he didn't dare to act rashly. ”
Originally, he just killed the bustard alone, which can be explained as a momentary mistake. And this matter really has nothing to do with you, so it won't implicate you. ”
"As a result, you helped the abuse, killed several guards, and found a substitute for him. Now you have more lives on your back than he does. ”
"Even if this king wants to save you now, it's impossible."
At this moment, Governor Chen was completely out of control, and he burst into tears.
"I know I'm wrong, and I don't want to do this, but I don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person......"
