Chapter 43: The Mountain Rain is Coming
"Xianggong?"
When Luo Xin'er saw Lin Xiuran's expression, her face unconsciously showed a sad color.
"Xianggong, do you want to go and see?"
Hua Jieyu put away the green grass grasshopper in his hand, pinched it behind him, tilted his head, and said to Lin Xiuran very understandingly.
She knew that Xianggong was doing big things, and there were many big things to do, although he didn't want to talk to them about these things, but if there was really something important, they would definitely not hold him back, they would just let him do it.
"Yes, Xianggong, if you want to go, you don't have to worry about me and Sister Hua. β
Luo Xin'er stood aside, and she also had an expression of "Xianggong, you go, don't worry about us", very sensible.
She has always been a little petty, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, she can absolutely carry it clearly, and she is a rare virtuous helper.
Lin Xiuran's strange expression suddenly opened up because of the gentle persuasion of these two ladies, and his face suddenly returned to normal, no longer frowning, but showing a cynical appearance.
He turned his head and no longer looked at the team of sergeants who had disappeared, but said to Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal, what am I going to do?"
That Zhen Pu is rampant and domineering, and he deserves it when his Zhen family has such a day, and there is nothing for him to worry about.
Moreover, the fact that the Zhen family of the Rongguo Mansion was going to be raided by the little emperor was not completely without warning.
When Zhen Pu was assassinated in Fengming City, he also said that he was "loyal" in the Rongguo Mansion, but he couldn't get the slightest trust from the little emperor, and he was always on guard against them everywhere.
The Rongguo Mansion was copied, which was a big deal for Chen Guo.
This means that the political forces in the imperial court will go through a round of major reshuffle.
The Zhen family is the leader in the family of Chen Guomen, and the head of the family, Zhen Yuan, is the Rongguo Gong of the imperial court, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s who are old and old.
And the old Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan himself is the top grandmaster in the Chen Kingdom, with the fall of the old ancestor in the Chen Kingdom a few years ago, Zhen Yuan has a faint tendency to become the first grandmaster in the Chen Kingdom.
As a top-ranked Absolute Grandmaster, Zhen Yuan definitely would not be killed on the spot just by being besieged by a few ordinary guards.
This is also the reason why Lin Xiuran's face is strange, this situation is too strange, and this reason is too nonsense.
What kind of method did the little emperor use to surround and kill a supreme grandmaster who couldn't be stopped by a thousand or ten thousand people on the spot?
There is something strange in this matter!
But, what does this have to do with it, the death of his Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan has nothing to do with him Lin Xiuran.
In this world, there are things like kings and villains, and they happen almost every day.
Some people live in high-rise buildings, and some people are in deep ditches.
Some people are bare, some people are rusty.
The world is changing, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye, he got up a tall building, his building collapsed, and in the ruins and desolation all over the ground, some people stared at the suddenly ownerless land and continued to build tall buildings.
Then, go through another cycle.
People in the world may talk about the matter of the old Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan after tea and dinner, talking about the truth of this matter, what is the inside story, talking about this matter a few months ago, someone has already guessed it, and even said that he was at the scene at the time, and saw the tragic death of the old Rongguo Gong, the murderer of the monarch and the traitor, and so on.
But Lin Xiuran looked at the pretty face of his own lady, but he couldn't be interested in this matter at all.
Compared with the fact that the Rongguo Mansion was raided, he felt that it was interesting to accompany his wife to buy some New Year's goods for the New Year.
"Xin'er, Xie Yu, it's okay, let's go, Xianggong will accompany you shopping. β
Lin Xiuran carried the two baskets full of things, shook them in front of Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu, and signaled that they didn't have to care about themselves, just continue shopping, just treat him as a walking vegetable basket.
"Hmm!"
The two women nodded worriedly, but after all, they didn't say anything more and continued to shop.
It was probably the New Year's Day approaching, and the festive atmosphere infected the two, and the melancholy on the faces of the two women gradually faded.
After a while, in the dazzling array of New Year's goods, they were like two bouncing rabbits, searching for novel New Year's things everywhere and getting lost in this lively street market.
The two vegetable baskets in Lin Xiuran's hands are also getting heavier and heavier.
Accompanying a woman to go shopping is really a chore.
......
Different from the festive and lively New Year, it is the palace of the little emperor.
In the imperial study of the imperial palace, the little emperor sat on a chair, with a cold face and a silent face.
The old eunuch Li Ying silently waited on the side, cautious and cautious.
The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, and the old eunuch Li Ying does not dare to guess the degree.
He looked at his nose and his heart, didn't think about anything, didn't do anything, just waited for his master to speak.
He said what he was going to do next, and he was going to do it.
In the room, in addition to the two of them, there was another person.
However, the man was already headless, and his body was separated and fell in a pool of blood.
The blood that flowed from the corpse continued to spread outward, forming a circle about five paces wide.
The room was filled with the sweet smell of blood because of the blood that was constantly bubbling out.
This headless corpse belonged to the old Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan, who was strong in martial arts, and could almost be called the first person in the Chen Kingdom, but in the eyes of that monster, it was just a meal of food.
The skull on his head went into the monster's belly.
Zhen Yuan, the once invincible old Rongguo Gong, died at the hands of a strange beast in such a nest, and he didn't even have a whole corpse.
"Li Ying, you find some people, drag this corpse down, and throw it to that ugly thing to eat, I look at him and feel upset!"
The little emperor was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he finally spoke.
He really hated Zhen Yuan.
After he knew that he had secretly rescued the daughter of the rebellious and seized power from him, and adopted her in the palace, he was full of suspicion of him, and even though he always looked loyal, he still did not trust him, and only wanted to wield a butcher's knife and behead this hypocritical person.
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
The old eunuch agreed, but then said, "Your Majesty, what if you don't like to eat that thing?"
The old eunuch Li Ying knew the monster's eating preferences.
It loves to eat those immature children who are about seven or eight years old, and does not like to eat old bones and old bacon like Lao Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan.
But the corpse of the old Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan is not something that he, an old eunuch, can dispose of privately.
Everything has to wait for the emperor to decide.
Then it was set on fire, and the bones were shattered. β
The little emperor's face was indifferent, and his eyes were like those meat-eating eagles and falcons on the northern grasslands, fierce and vicious.
"Yes. β
The old eunuch Li Ying respectfully accepted the order.
He went to the door to say hello, and two Chen Guo's dead guards came in, dragged out the body of the old Rongguo Gong Zhen Yuan, and pulled it into the underground dark room.
The old eunuch Li Ying was not at ease and also went out.
The two interesting little eunuchs dared to come in from outside the door at this time.
They took their cleaning utensils and began to clean up the foul, dried-out pool of red blood in the imperial study.
The little emperor pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand, closed his eyes and recuperated, and let those people clean up.
......
I don't know how long it took for the old eunuch Li Ying to come back.
The little emperor heard the sound, opened his eyes suddenly, looked at this old eunuch who had served him diligently and loyally since he ascended the throne, and said coldly: "How?"
The old eunuch Li Ying said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it has eaten." β
"Hmm. β
The little emperor agreed indifferently.
But then, he said, "What about Concubine Xiande?"
Concubine Xiande - Zhen Qiuxin, a member of the Zhen family of the Rongguo Mansion, entered the palace three years ago, and was named a virtuous concubine a year ago, and has no heirs.
Last night, the little emperor spent the night in the bedroom of Concubine Xiande, he was entangled with her to the death, and he kept warm for half a night, and when he kneaded her breasts, he also promised her that he would often come to her bedroom to see her in the future.
But today, he killed her father and gave her a long white silk ribbon, and told her to hang herself by hanging herself from a beam and hang herself with a long tongue.
The emperor's house, that love, is all fake.
"Back to the emperor, Concubine Xiande has complied with your will, committed suicide by hanging the beam, the body has been put into the coffin, and the mourning hall has been arranged. The old eunuch Li Ying replied cautiously, and said: "It's just that before she hanged herself, she left some words for you, the old slave doesn't know the emperor, do you want to hear it?"
"Speak!"
The little emperor only replied coldly with one word.
The old eunuch Li Ying couldn't help but shudder, and said: "Back to the emperor, Concubine Xiande said that he doesn't blame you for being unkind, but just wants to tell you that he Zhen family has also been out of the immortal court immortals, if the emperor kills them all and destroys his family, the ancestors of his family will definitely take off your head and let Chen Guo change the emperor." β
"She also said that she got up today, nauseous and weak, she counted the days, she should already have your flesh and blood in her stomach, but she knew that you would not let her live, she would die, but she wanted to tell the emperor that you killed your own child!"
"Humph!"
The little emperor Long Yan was furious, and his hands slapped heavily on the desk.
"Bang-" The old eunuch Li Ying, who was far away, trembled three times with fright.
"A little girl is a little woman, does she think that if she says this, I will be angry?"
The old eunuch Li Ying wanted to say that the emperor is angry now, but he only dared to say it in his heart, if he accidentally said this, he knew that what was waiting for him was the executioner's beheading knife.
"The emperor takes care of the dragon body! Concubine Hui's side also spread the news this morning, saying that she was pregnant with the dragon seed. β
The old eunuch Li Ying only dared to be careful to persuade him.
But obviously, he guessed the little emperor's mind wrong.
The little emperor was not angry that he killed his own child, he was angry that Concubine Xiande used the immortal court immortals of her ancestors to suppress him.
The little emperor had a cold face and said, "There are immortal court immortals on the ancestors of his Zhen family, and my great Chen Guohuang clan doesn't have them?"
The little emperor had a tough attitude, as if he was about to destroy the Zhen family.
But the reason why the little emperor was angry was precisely because he was poked in the underbelly.
The little emperor really didn't dare to destroy the Zhen family.
The old eunuch Li Ying knew that even if his master was lawless, he was just a mortal after all.
He didn't dare to do that.
Of course, the ancestor of the little emperor also had an immortal in the Immortal Court, but it was an old ancestor who had been separated by hundreds of years, and it was really hard to say whether he would offend an immortal who was also an immortal of the Immortal Court because he was only a descendant of a mortal.
The little emperor is an extremely arrogant, but also extremely cautious person.
He is self-aware, and he is not willing to take this risk, so he will keep the rules that the immortal court has agreed with the world-the door will not be destroyed in the struggle of the world, and the ancestors who are far away in the immortal court will not come to the door to get involved in mortal affairs.
It's just that there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom.
If you don't kill one, you won't destroy the door, and if you kill the left, you won't destroy the door.
And with the ruthlessness of the little emperor, he must have chosen the latter.
There are hundreds of people in the Rongguo Mansion, and in the end, there can only be one left.
The little emperor looked at the wrinkled face of the old eunuch Li Ying, looked at his beardless chin, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Li Ying, do you know who the person I left behind?"
The old eunuch Li Ying was stunned for a moment, but replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the old slave doesn't dare to speculate on his intentions, but if the old slave is allowed to choose, the old slave will definitely leave the most useless and unproductive one." β
"Then you say, in the Rongguo Mansion, who is the most useless and the most unproductive?"
"Back to the emperor, the old slave thought that it was the demon king of the mixed world that everyone in the capital shouted and beat - Zhen Pu!"
The old eunuch Li Ying guessed correctly at all.
"Uhhh
The little emperor sneered, but he was silent and looked away.
At this time, General Xu Kan, who had received the holy decree of the little emperor, had already led his men and horses to the Rongguo Mansion.
In Nafu, it is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, full of flowers, clear and exquisite, and full of luxury, so that people only dare to watch from a distance and dare not play blasphemous.
But now, not to mention this house, even the people in the house, one by one, are fish to be slaughtered, waiting for the lambs to be shaved by them.
