Chapter 142: Wanting to Find the Body, One Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones
Chapter 142
Princess Minghua knelt in front of the spirit, and her tears seemed to have dried up.
Watching this scene, everyone felt that Princess Minghua's feelings for King Xiaoyao ...... Something isn't right.
Princess Minghua is the elder of King Xiaoyao, even if the elders pamper the younger generations, they shouldn't be like this.
It doesn't seem to be pampered.
The eldest prince is now sweating all over his head, and looking at the expressions of the people around him, he knows that this matter is estimated to not be hidden for long.
After thinking about it carefully, I would rather offend my aunt and grandmother than my father. He gritted his teeth and said, "Invite the princess down." ”
The other three princes looked at each other, who dared!
"What do you see I'm doing!" the eldest prince said: "Come on, invite Princess Minghua down, what are you waiting for." ”
Several warriors stepped forward, and Princess Minghua wept bitterly: "Zixiu, Zixiu, if you have a spirit, take me away together, you and I can't sleep together in life, and we can also sleep together ......in death."
The eldest prince's eyes were black, and he almost fainted on the spot. Angry, he said, "What are you waiting for, take her down." ”
The scandal of the Donglu royal family will not be able to cover up.
At this moment, there was a sudden buzzing sword sound. Everyone subconsciously raised their heads, only to see a flying sword coming from the air.
"Be careful!"
The four princes shouted loudly and pounced on Princess Minghua. Everyone was facing a great enemy, and the various samurai were protecting their masters.
I saw a flying sword flying over the head of the four princes, slamming into the coffin, and there was a piece of paper tied to the sword.
The guards of the four princes hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine. ”
The fourth prince stood up and said, "Take care of Her Royal Highness the princess first." ”
He turned around and saw that the piece of paper had appeared in the eldest prince's hand.
"What's on paper?"
The eldest prince spread out with a dark face, and the fourth prince saw eight big characters written on the paper: If you want to find the body, there are 100,000 spirit stones.
Everyone in the mourning hall frowned, and some couldn't help but snort softly.
A spirit stone is worth 10,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 spirit stones are 100,000 taels of silver.
Zhuang Yisheng has earned this amount of money recently, which is a drop in the bucket compared to it.
Who is this, the lion opened his mouth to blackmail the Donglu royal family.
"It seems that this time it really can't be buried. ”
The fourth prince suddenly sneered and said, "Come on, look for a suspicious target within ten miles." ”
This ransom letter came from a flying sword. If you want to be in the air, you must be at least an immortal cultivator in the spirit refining stage, and the farthest distance that the other party can control is ten miles.
The voice of the four princes landed, and several figures had already swished out.
He saluted Princess Minghua again and said, "Grandma, it's important to take care of your health, and leave this matter to us." ”
Princess Minghua stopped her grief: "We must find Zixiu's body." ”
"Definitely. The fourth prince said: "Big brother, you have to go to the palace again, explain this matter in detail to your father, and let your father decide." ”
What else to decide, aren't you arranging it very well? The eldest prince snorted, and finally said, "It's okay." ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
The fourth prince turned around and saw that everyone in the mourning hall was staring at each other with wide eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Let you all laugh, this is someone provoking me Donglu." This is Donglu, whoever it is, I'm going to find him out. ”
When he said this, he had a majesty in him.
"Well said. King Shou suddenly stood up and said: "Donglu and Nanyan are friends, provoking Donglu is provoking Nanyan, I brought some people and asked to join the investigation, and never let go of the murderer." ”
The fourth prince groaned slightly and said, "I'm tired." ”
King Shou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and only now did Nan Yan finally get the qualifications to investigate the case.
Zhuang Yisheng was also thinking about this matter in his heart.
Originally, there were two suspicions about the death of King Xiaoyao, either Nanyan blamed the blame, or Donglu directed and acted by himself. But no matter which one it is, they probably won't use the body of the Easy King to blackmail.
Things get more complicated.
Zhuang Yisheng originally wanted to take a look at the ransom letter and find some clues from the paper or handwriting.
But now the ransom note is the focus of attention, and if you hold it in your hands, you will definitely be noticed. Shou Wang and Lan Xingyun and others were all on the field.
In order to avoid exposure, Zhuang Yisheng had to dispel this thought.
After a period of time, the eldest prince brought the holy decree of the Emperor of Donglu and ordered the criminal department to investigate with all its might, for half a month. If the body of the King of Freedom is still not found, then he will be buried on an auspicious day of the zodiac.
Zhuang Yisheng and the Snow Lady left the palace and returned to the Snow Lady's mansion.
Just attended a funeral, but Zhuang Yisheng seemed to have been stripped of a layer of skin.
There are so many things that happened on this day.
The Snow Lady is no better.
"Today, I see the relationship between the four princes of Donglu, it seems a little strange?" Zhuang Yisheng said.
"You can see it. The Snow Lady said: "I have been attending banquets for the past few days, what do you think is the reason, it is not to inquire about the current situation in Donglu." ”
"Did you find anything?"
The Snow Lady nodded, and spit out four words from her mouth: "The position of the prince." ”
"Huh?"
Xue Niangzi said: "The other princes are still young and are not qualified to compete for the crown prince, and those who are qualified to compete are the four princes you saw today." However, the second prince is weak, and the third prince does not have a city government, and the most likely candidates are the eldest prince and the fourth prince. ”
"The eldest prince is the eldest son, and he should have been the crown prince. Xue Niangzi said: "But the fourth prince is the most virtuous and talented, and his biological mother is Liu Guifei, who is favored by His Majesty." According to His Majesty's meaning, it should be passed on to the virtuous but not to the long. ”
"The eldest prince is naturally unwilling, so he is the main battle faction, once he starts a war with Nanyan, he can take the opportunity to gain military merits and fight for bargaining chips for himself. ”
"The fourth prince is the lord and faction, as long as everything goes well, he is the rightful prince, so he doesn't want anything to happen. ”
Zhuang Yisheng suddenly realized that today in the mourning hall, the attitude of the four princes towards Nanyan was still quite friendly, but the eldest prince did not say a word to King Shou from beginning to end.
So it was.
If the Snow Lady is right, the Four Princes can be used as a hidden helper.
At night, Zhuang Yisheng returned to the room, and there was a soft knock on the window outside.
Zhuang Yisheng closed his eyes, and Liu Qi floated in from outside.
She took out her makeup tools and smeared them on Zhuang Yisheng's face.
"How's it going?"
"Donglu is no longer so hostile to Shouwang and his party, and they can meddle in the investigation of this case. Liu Qi said: "The Donglu Criminal Department has launched an operation, and the four princes seem to be secretly competing, and they all want to find the body of King Xiaoyao first." ”
Zhuang Yisheng nodded, it's about the prince, if he becomes the prince, he may be the king of a country in the future.
"You keep an eye on them, and besides, help me check on a few people. ”
Zhuang Yisheng told Liu Qi the list of the gold lantern pendants, a total of thirteen people.
