Chapter 21: The First Victim
Wang Shi was a little chilled, because of three things.
The first thing is that Xiahouping, who was also born with filial piety, actually said the word "framing" openly and shamelessly.
The second is that Xiahou Ping, as a small subordinate official under Zongzheng, has participated in the struggle for the throne, and the whole country, I don't know how many officials are still in cahoots with Liu Xu.
The third is that Xiahouping, a villain, actually sees himself as a villain who "sells his lord for glory", is he so unbearable in the eyes of this despicable person?
Thinking of these things, Wang Shi's face, which was flushed from drinking, gradually turned white.
"Then how can Xiahou envoy contempt people frame Changyi Wang He?"
"Write a letter to the county official, report to Tingwei and Zong Zheng that Wang He of Changyi has a heart of disobedience, and bury a puppet with the name of the county official engraved in the northeast corner of the Fuyao Palace, and the rest of the things can be left alone, we will only arrange the joints everywhere."
Xiahou said proudly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but the more Wang Shi listened, the more cold his teeth became.
The Witch Gu Rebellion, this is an untouchable scale that all emperors have since Emperor Xiaowu!
The bloody storm sixteen years ago has not yet dissipated, and countless unjust souls are still hovering over Chang'an.
Countless well-known followers and good generals were tragically wiped out by the clan, and they have not been able to redress their grievances so far.
The prince who was framed and killed by the cool officials is still not rehabilitated, and even the heir is nowhere to be found.
If Xiahou Ping's poisonous plan succeeds, His Royal Highness will definitely face the anger of the Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to meet the county official to appeal.
When the time comes, not only His Royal Highness will die, but many people in Changyi will die.
When Wang Shi saw Xiahou Ping's letter, he knew that the other party was going to stumble on His Royal Highness's body, but he didn't expect it to be so vicious.
This is not only to "deprive" Liu He of the opportunity to sit on the throne, but also to let him die without a place to be buried.
Wang Shi pursed his chapped lips, and the thought in his heart was even more firm.
"Xiahou Envoy, have you started arranging?"
"Not yet, Wang Fu, you are the threshold of all this, as long as you nod, the contemptible people will start to do it immediately, and when King Guangling ascends the throne, you can be crowned an official and a knight."
"His Royal Highness the King of Guangling said, Da Honglu and Taichang, you can choose."
"His Royal Highness the King of Guangling has such a big price, which really flatters the old man. Xiahou envoy Jun planned such a big thing for His Royal Highness the King of Guangling, and the official position he obtained must not be small, right? Wang Shi said sarcastically.
"Hehe, the contemptible people can't be compared with the prince, but His Royal Highness the King of Guangling is generous and promised me the position of right Fufeng."
Such an important position in the imperial court was actually used as a bargaining chip by them, which made Wang Shi feel sick for a while.
This King of Guangling is not even as good as His Royal Highness two years ago, how did his prince teach!
"Has Wang Fu figured it out?"
Wang Shi's hand hidden under his robe trembled a little, but he finally made up his mind.
"I am willing to be driven by the King of Guangling."
"Hahaha, Wang Fu really understands the righteousness and sees the fire!" Xiahou Ping sat on the couch and clapped his hands repeatedly, not seeing that Wang Shi had straightened his waist.
"When Xiahou envoy came, did anyone else know?"
"Of course, no one can know about such a conspiracy, no one but the coachman, no one knows, no one knows." Xiahouping said it very proudly.
"Very good, very good, the old man will go and get the pen and Jane now, and I will write whatever Xiahou Cheng asks me to write."
"Very good, very good!" As he spoke, he picked up the pot of herbal tea on the desk that had been sitting for an unknown amount of time, and drank it leisurely, as if he was drinking jade liquid elixir.
Wang Shi used all his strength to stand up, this time he stood firmly, without the slightest shaking, and his thin and thin body was like a mountain at this time.
"Your Highness, why did you come late at night?" Wang Shi shouted coldly at Xiahou Ping's empty back.
Xiahou Ping was a thief, and immediately stood up from the couch, and he didn't see it clearly, so he bowed down and kowtowed again and again.
"Xiaguan Xiahouping didn't know that His Highness was visiting, so he asked His Highness to ......"
Before the word "sin" came out, Xiahou Ping realized that there seemed to be no one in front of him, and just when he was full of doubts and wanted to turn around and ask what was going on, he heard a low sword sound.
In the flower hall of Confucianism, where did the sword come from?
No, it seems that the king has a sword at his waist.
But what did he do with his sword?
A series of questions popped up from Xia Houping's mind, and he wanted to turn his head to look at it and ask, but there was no chance.
Xiahou Ping's neck was first slightly cold, then there was a moment of intense and short-term pain, his vision turned short, and finally he magically saw the king style holding the sword behind him.
Xiahouping wanted to speak, but blood kept gushing out of his mouth, and he opened his mouth and couldn't move anymore.
And the headless body, after spurting out a few feet of blood, fell down in a daze.
The faint fragrance of flowers in the flower hall was covered by a strong bloody atmosphere.
Filthy blood spurted everywhere, but Wang Shi felt very peaceful at this moment.
Fortunately, I put away the calligraphy and paintings, otherwise I would have been stained with this filthy blood.
Wang Shi's hands holding the sword trembled slightly, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had pulled out the sword.
Why draw a sword?
To kill, of course!
"Your Highness, is this sword still sharp?" Wang Shi said softly, as if Liu He was really standing in front of him at the moment.
Not long after, Mo's figure appeared at the door of the flower hall, and his body was also stained with blood.
Mo pointed to the head and corpse on the ground, then to the back door, then nodded.
Wang Shi knew that the coachman who came with Xiahou Ping was also dead, so he nodded, and then used two fingers to learn how people walked.
Mo grinned, revealing his missing front teeth, and laughed.
Wang Shi put the sword back from its scabbard, walked out the door, and as he left, patted Mo on the shoulder, this old servant who couldn't speak would take care of everything here.
I don't know why Wang Shi did this, but since Wang Shi said it, he will definitely do it.
Similarly, Liu He will not know what Wang Shi has done, but as long as he needs it, Wang Shi will definitely do it well.
Xiahouping died with his dream of becoming an official and becoming a knight, and no one knew that he died here - from Chang'an to Changyi, thousands of miles away, there were countless water bandits and bandits, and it was very common for petty officials to die a few 600 stones, so let Tingwei slowly track it down when the time comes.
When Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, found out the problem, he didn't know how long it had been, and who could guess what the general situation of the world was at that time?
Wang Shi walked out of the flower hall, stood in the garden and looked in the direction of the palace, and said silently in his heart: "Your Highness, there is only so much the old man can do now, you must be cautious on the road ahead!" ”
The night passed, and when the day came again, the news came from the royal mansion that Wang Shi was going to devote himself to his studies and refused all visitors.
What everyone didn't notice was that the old servant who couldn't speak in the palace also disappeared overnight.
In this way, in a place where Liu He couldn't see, it began to bleed, but this was only the beginning.
