Chapter 647: The Coming Day is Long
Zhang Xu coaxed again and again.
Wen Xunpeng listened to the teasing and laughed, and he didn't speak, and when the wine ran out, he picked up the wine jug and poured it again, took a bite of the side dishes, and snorted a little wine, if he hadn't seen Wen Xunpeng's down-and-out appearance, others would have to think that Wen Xunpeng had volunteered to do this.
"Come, I salute Brother Wen with a cup, and I wish Brother Wen every year and this year, every day as today. Zhang Xu couldn't get used to it again, raised his glass and said something that he didn't know whether it was envy or sarcasm, and before he finished speaking, he heard a woman's scream outside the courtyard.
The next moment, the same number of people exclaimed, followed by an uproar.
What's wrong?
Several staff members present, including Wen Xunpeng and Zhang Xu, stood up in a daze, the musician stopped, and the dancing girl and the maid also looked at the past.
"Ah!" The next moment, I saw a maid in a goose yellow dress screaming at the door, and the tray in her hand fell directly to the ground, and the fruit rolled everywhere, her face was pale, and she stood in place, trembling slightly.
Seeing this scene, the staff couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly walked outside.
At the gate of this courtyard, they stopped and saw that not far away, two government soldiers were dragging a bloody man past.
The man who was like a dead dog, obviously dead, was dragged and motionless, and passing by the place, he left a long mark of blood, and the smell of blood in the air made people smell sick.
"This, isn't this Wang Xuan?" Someone with sharp eyes recognized the identity of this dead corpse, and let out a low voice, his voice hoarse, revealing incredulity.
How is this possible?
In this Qi Palace, who else can hurt a staff member like himself?
The answer goes without saying, and it is known.
In the past, even if King Qi had a violent temperament, he had never done anything to his staff, and most of the people killed were concubines or servants.
If you don't find out how Wang Xuan offended the prince, then today is Wang Xuan, who knows that it will not be his turn tomorrow?
Zhang Xu was bolder, gritted his teeth, and walked over.
"Two, I don't know what the situation is, what did Wang Xuan do?"
didn't dare to stop the person who dragged the dead body directly, let alone look at Wang Xuan, who was not blind, Zhang Xu trembled, followed the soldiers who dragged the person, and asked in a low voice at the same time.
The two government soldiers looked at him, and Wang Xuan's death was not something that could not be talked about, and one of them explained: "The news he presented to the prince is not good." ”
How bad?
"I don't know...... What's the news?"
I thought that the soldiers didn't plan to say it, but I didn't expect to really answer: "It has something to do with the acting king, the acting prince received the holy decree and was crowned the king." ”
"Acting king?"
This news, not to mention the King of Qi, was like a thunderbolt, and it hit the head of this staff member, making him lose his soul and turn back.
Seeing that Zhang Xu came back in a blink of an eye, a few people were waiting at the door far away, and they all gathered around at this time, asking about the situation.
"The acting prince has been crowned the acting king. ”
The staff member told the news he had received, and everyone was in an uproar.
"The acting prince has been crowned the acting king?
Then the companion is like a tiger, the lives and prospects of these staff members are linked to the king of Qi, originally the king of Qi has the most possibility of seizing the heir, although the acting prince is the son of the prince, but he is only the prince of the country, not a real competitor, but now even this shortcoming has been filled, isn't it to let the prince have one more fierce rival in the future?
Or has it surpassed the threat of the former rival of the King of Shu?
Moreover, at this time, the title of king to the prince of Daiguo also reflects a certain tendency of the emperor? Could it be that the next step is to crown the prince of Daiguo as the grandson?
Several people here are smart-minded, and they can understand this kind of twists and turns, and when they figure this out, their faces are like blank paper, and they are panicked.
Once the battle for succession fails, with what the prince does, at least it will be a seclusion, and he and others are more likely to die without a place to be buried.
How is this good?
"Mr. Wen. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was without a master, a little guy whispered in a low voice, walked to Wen Xunpeng's side, and handed a note to Wen Xunpeng very covertly.
Wen Xunpeng looked at the little guy, and immediately remembered this person, and when the little guy left, he walked to the side and unfolded the note.
"Brother Wen, the prince is stimulated and a little moody, what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Xu raised his head and saw Wen Xunpeng's face pale, he didn't feel strange, after all, among the staff members present, who didn't look like white paper?
Not only did the Duke of Dai become the king, but on the other hand, he also felt chilled by King Qi's ruthlessness.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.
In the past, although King Qi was violent, it was a courtesy to others and to his staff, and a person like Wen Xunpeng who fell down could also have a place in the mansion, at most he was given a cold reception.
But now some staff members have lost their lives because of a message!
Although this news is shocking, what is wrong with Wang Xuan? Why was he so angry that he lost his life?
You must know that no matter how important the future is, you must have a life to enjoy, and it is very important for the prince to be crowned king on behalf of the country, but it is very important for the prince to be hit, but now his own life is more important.
Wen Xunpeng seemed to be groaning and couldn't think of an idea.
"This is a comparison of us to domestic slaves, and there is no reason for that...... said one of the aides dissatisfied.
This complaint frightened others: "Cao Su, you don't want to die, stop talking!"
In the past, I might not be afraid of this kind of thing, but now with Wang Xuan's experience, when facing the king of Qi again, I must be more careful, and I will never dare to be careless, not only to avoid falling out of favor, but also not wanting to die because of it!
Panic spread among them, and Wen Xunpeng was mixed in and was inconspicuous.
But he was pinching the note at this time, and his eyelashes were hanging down to cover his eyes, but there was a kind of ruthlessness.
"At this time, if you want me to do this, you really treat me like a mustard?"
"Hmph, the rabbit is in a hurry, and it still wants to bite!"
"Don't say it, look, the mastermind is out. As he was groaning, someone had sharp eyes and saw someone, and immediately shouted to stop, and everyone stopped talking, and sure enough, when they saw that Sun Bolan, the current mastermind of the palace, came out, they swarmed up and watched.
Sun Bolan's face was also a little pale, his demeanor was still holding on, his eyes swept away, he paused on Wen Xunpeng's face for a moment, and said, "Gentlemen, don't worry. ”
"Just now, the prince woke up drunk, and he also regretted it a lot, saying that he was drunk and killed Mr. Wang Xuan Wang as a cheap slave, which is really regretful. ”
"I was specially ordered to immediately send an order to bury Mr. Wang as a guest, and also give 1,000 taels of silver to support his family. ”
"Mr. Wang has a son who is on an errand in Beijing, and the prince also said that he will immediately give him a hundred household titles, and fill the vacancy. ”
As soon as they said this, everyone smiled and admired each other, they didn't know, this was just a reason for prevarication, but what they wanted was only this prevarication, which proved that King Qi was not crazy, and he had to pay attention to courtesy to himself and others.
That's enough.
"Living and nourishing the body, transferring and nourishing qi, Sun Bolan is just a villain, and he doesn't want to mix up a little bearing. Wen Xunpeng thought secretly.
"It was really lucky to give Wen Xunpeng a catastrophe. Sun Bolan's expression was cold, he turned his eyes to look at the climbing vines on the women's wall, and sneered slightly: "However, under my hands, there will always be a chance in the future." ”
