Chapter 314: Behind Bars
"What earth-shattering secret?" Hearing the man surnamed Li mention a shocking secret, the man surnamed Zhang hurriedly asked.
"However, as the lord of the Nanyong Kingdom, the Son of Heaven is his, and everyone is his subjects, why would he do such a thing that is not tolerated by heaven?" the man surnamed Zhang was puzzled.
I was puzzled by this, so I talked to a few friends, and then I got a shocking secret from them. The man surnamed Li said with a gloomy face.
"What's the shocking secret?" asked the man surnamed Zhang.
The man surnamed Li knocked heavily on the table, and then said, "Do you remember how the demon Dao approached the emperor three years ago, and how he was named a national teacher?"
The man surnamed Li recalled, and then said: "When today's son has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, he will look around for the way of immortality. Three years ago, a Taoist came to the capital and said that he had the art of immortality. The Son of Heaven summoned him, and after a month he made him a national teacher. Speaking of this, he also reacted, "What does Brother Li mean is that the demon Dao used the art of immortality to tempt the king and asked him to help cover up the disappearance of Xiao'er?"
The man surnamed Li sneered: "If it's just like this, it can be regarded as an earth-shattering secret! The immortal technique offered by the demon Dao is to use the child's heart and liver as a medicine to refine the elixir of life!"
As soon as these words came out, the man's face changed greatly, and he almost fell to the ground unsteadily, and finally stabilized his mind before he asked tremblingly: "Brother Li, is this true? Where did you get the news?"
The man surnamed Li sighed and said: "This matter was reported by a father-in-law who served the emperor in the palace, and he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, so he secretly revealed this matter to a friend of mine, and I learned the truth because of this." ”
Speaking of which, he continued: "As for which friend told me, don't ask, I won't say, I can only tell you that all this is true. Our emperor has lost his heart for immortality, and has begun to eat people under the bewitchment of the demon way!"
The man surnamed Zhang's body trembled slightly, and his mouth kept saying: "How is this possible, how is this possible, he can do such a thing that has lost his conscience, what qualifications does he have to be the lord of this country?!"
The man surnamed Li said coldly: "The emperor is old, and his health has not been very good, it is estimated that he will not live to the age of the sixtieth year, otherwise how can he search for the art of immortality everywhere." Not only that, but the demon Dao offered another demon girl, and the emperor's body had already been hollowed out. With the fear of dying at any moment, what could he not do?"
When the man surnamed Zhang heard this, he already believed the words of the man surnamed Li, looked up at the sky outside the teahouse, and lamented: "The emperor eats people for immortality, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to be deposed, and the demon girl will soon control the entire country." I'm done with Nanyongguo, it's over......"
The man surnamed Li also sighed and said, "This news has actually been secretly circulating in the capital for a while, and many people already know about it. For this reason, the loyal people in the court have been fighting with the demon for a long time, but it is a pity that the emperor has already gone crazy and belittled these people and killed them. ”
"Only Shen Shangshu is left in the entire court to support and protect the prince, pinning the future of the country on the prince, hoping that he will be able to ascend to the throne in the future and kill the demon girl to turn things around. However, now that even Shen Shangshu is finished, he will be escorted to the execution ground in a few days. As soon as Shen Shangshu died, the crown prince had no more foreign aid in the court, and it was a foregone conclusion that the crown prince would be deposed. ”
Speaking of this, the man surnamed Li showed deep pain in his eyes, "At that time, the son of the demon girl, that little doll that is more than a year old will become the lord of Nanyongguo, and the demon girl will also naturally rule the world, and the entire Nanyongguo will completely become their bag." ”
The two of them said this, falling into deep pain, because in the face of this situation, they could not do anything but watch it happen slowly, and watch the country slowly decay and perish.
The two talked for a long time before leaving the place in desperation.
Luo Yin had been sitting in the teahouse and listening to their conversation, from which he learned about the situation of Nan Yongguo, and also understood why Shen Mo was sent to the prison.
The news had been inquired, Luo Yin got up and left the teahouse and walked towards the prison.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the capital were on, showing a strange prosperity. Under this prosperity, how many undercurrents are surging, and at the same time, how many evils are being staged.
The dungeon, the second basement floor.
Shen Mo was dressed in tattered prison clothes, sitting alone in a cell full of stench and musty smell, looking at the cracks on the roof, dumbfounded.
A few days ago, an internal prison supervisor came to deliver a decree, detailing his three major crimes, and announcing that he would be beheaded after seven days.
Hearing this verdict, Shen Mo fell into despair. It's all over, he still couldn't keep the prince in the end, as long as he dies, no one will dare to stop the emperor from abolishing the prince, and the day the prince is abolished must also be the time of death, and the demon girl will not leave a waste prince to live in this world.
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Mo fell into endless pain, his ambition and his life were not as important as this Jiangshan society. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only hope for this country, as long as he can ascend to the throne, he can sweep away the evil and return the world to a prosperous world.
However, the demon dao and the demon girl will not sit idly by and watch the prince ascend the throne, they have cleared the prince's wings in the court little by little, and want to change the more than one-year-old Huangkou child as the crown prince and completely control the entire country.
In the face of this crisis, he has fought for his life, but unfortunately he is still powerless and has not been able to change the situation, so he can only watch the country change hands and the world overturn.
It's just that I can't see that day anymore, and I don't need to see that day anymore, because three days later will be my death, and I will be punished at three o'clock in the afternoon of that day.
Just before he died, he couldn't help but recall his life.
