Chapter 451: The Death of the First Prince
However, even if this happens, Wan Peng is silent. If, in this case, saying some facts that people don't want to know can make people alert, Wan Peng doesn't know, but it is certain to make yourself go to a more difficult situation.
Restraining his feelings, Wan Peng slowly persevered to the end of the interrogation, and then with the appearance of the two escorts, he completed his interrogation. Back in the room, he couldn't help but worry about Xie Ting and Lan Jia's inquiry.
There is no doubt that the interrogation of the three persons will be held, and the results of the three interrogations will eventually be compared to determine their authenticity. Wan Peng is not worried about the consistency of the results, because these three people, at least he and Xie Ting, must agree on their statements. Even if Lan Jia had any thoughts in his heart, on the core issue, there would not be a statement that was too different from the two of them.
Until the next morning, there was no movement. The morning passed very slowly, and Wan Peng had been paying attention to the situation of the other two people, but except for feeling that Lan Jia was being interrogated, Xie Ting didn't seem to have changed. It wasn't until the evening that Lan Jia came back, and Xie Ting was taken out.
Xie Ting's interrogation time was ridiculously short, not even one-tenth of Wanpeng's. After that, the three of them entered the more ordinary guard stage, and the outside guards changed their guards once every hour until lunch was eaten at noon on the third day.
The three people were arraigned en masse, and after the Council of Elders summed up, Lan Jia was declared innocent!
Wan Peng and Xie Ting had already thought of this result. Perhaps, this is the result of a specific plan of Zhuyou. It's just that Wan Peng has a little more worry in his heart, that is, there are demons in the Council of Elders.
Naturally, he did not rule out that this was Zixiao's deliberate arrangement. Demons are not necessarily bad people, if there is one who is helpful, joining the Council of Elders may also be a help to the construction of Zixiao itself.
Since they hadn't been released yet, Wan Peng still lived alone, so he couldn't ask Lan Jia or anyone else. Wan Peng didn't know why Takeyou would take such a approach, theoretically speaking, once the Council of Elders declared them innocent, they should be released.
There was no one to explain, so he simply calmed down and cultivated. In a sense, this environment is safer for them.
It wasn't until noon on the fourth day that Takeyu came.
Wan Peng sat up from his small bed and smiled at Zhu You, "You want to protect Lan Jia, what are your follow-up plans?"
Zhu You was worried at this time, "I don't have any plans, I'm just waiting for time." I'm going to arrange for him and the two of you to see your father. You said that you want to go to Jinxiao, but now only my father can do it. If you don't see your father, your plans will be in vain. ”
Wan Peng nodded gratefully, "Then there is Prince Lao." But then again, is it so difficult to meet your father?" Wan Peng said that Zhu Yu didn't really think so.
Takeyu shook his head, "Actually, my father is not a strange person. It's just that your chances of meeting him are limited. Because, now he is in treatment. You can only see him in between treatments, and only if his body allows. ”
Wan Peng sighed, "He's really sick." It seems that your casino here is indeed very unusual. ”
Zhuyou smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's not that the casino is unusual, maybe it's the wind that someone deliberately released." ”
A sharp flash flashed in Wan Peng's eyes, "You are suspicious of your second brother." ”
Zhu nodded, "Since you are protecting Lan Jia, and my investigation of the two of you is basically clear, then I won't hide anything, and I'll talk to you directly." Now, the battle for the throne between me and Matsura has been fierce. Especially after his father's illness, Matsura behaved more suddenly. In fact, if he really has the talent to govern the country, maybe I will give him the throne. However, if he gets the throne, he may not be able to make the Purple Mansion develop. Therefore, I cannot give up this throne. ”
But in reality, my father didn't mean that. Zhuyou seemed to be sighing to himself, "My father doesn't want to pass the throne to Songliang or me, but wants to pass it on to the third brother Lanjia." It's just that the third brother is still young, so he sent him to the Qingdu Desert, and then secretly sent someone to protect him, and used the damage of the space gyroscope as an excuse to make him unable to return to the Purple Mansion for the time being, which to ensure his safety. But this layout has been ruined by you. ”
Zhuyou turned to Wan Peng, his eyes were very complicated. "Your appearance has brought Lan Jia back to face these dangers. But even if he doesn't come back now, he's always going to come back. However, now, among the rumors, Lan Jia's return, linked to the Ape Clan, will naturally affect his prestige and support. I may only be able to protect him, but I may not be able to help him win hearts and minds. Not only is he still young, but his experience is also too thin. ”
Wan Peng sighed, "However, if he stays in the Qingdu Desert all the time, the same experience will always be relatively thin." From the beginning, I had a feeling that you might be protecting him, and now it seems that it is. Of course, the second prince of Matsura may not want to harm him. ”
Zhuyou smiled bitterly, "It's not that it's not necessarily, but it must hurt him." Matsura once asked his father directly to succeed to the throne, but his father did not agree. He is not a stupid person, after all kinds of inferences, he naturally regarded me as the first enemy, and Lan Jia would not let go in his eyes either. It took about ten assassinations against me, and as soon as Lan Jia returned, all these circumstances were quite similar to what I had experienced before. So, I don't think you need to doubt it. ”
Wan Peng smiled. "I won't ask and care more about your family affairs, and naturally I won't suspect anything. You're here today to help protect Lan Jia by his side after he regains his freedom?"
Takeyu didn't hide it, "That's right. I guess there will be three to five days before I see my father. I think this may be a very dangerous time. Lan Jia has regained his freedom, and it is inconvenient for me to use more guards to help him, otherwise the outside world will look suspicious, as if the royal family wants to control him. And you, coming with Lan Jia and being with him, are of course. I've seen your abilities, and although you can't win against a real master, it's enough to slow down. ”
Wan Peng nodded, "As long as you promise to let me see your father, I can promise you." In addition, I hope you can help me talk and help me go to Jinxiao. Also, I want to tell you one thing. I don't know if you know. ”
Takeyu clearly showed some interest, "Let's hear it." ”
"There are demons in your Council of Elders. Wan Peng's tone of voice was as relaxed as possible when he spoke, so as not to startle Zhuyou.
But even so, Zhuyou still trembled all over, and then turned to Wan Peng, his gaze was extremely cold, "How do you know?"
Wan Peng's expression also became serious, "Because I have the magic of Huiling." As long as there is a demon, it can automatically activate my Huiling Magic. And in the Presbyterian Church, the Convergence Spirit Descending Magic was clearly activated in my hands. ”
"Are you sure?" Takeyu's words were simple and quick, extremely serious.
"100 percent sure. Wan Peng stared at Takeyou, "If you don't know, then you'd better be careful." Although demons also have good demons, it is not a good thing to appear in your Council of Elders without revealing their identities like this. ”
"Hmm. Takeyou was silent, as if thinking about something, and didn't say anything. However, it didn't take long for a henchman outside to knock softly on the door, "Prince, I have something important to report." ”
As if he was shocked, Takeyou's body trembled slightly, turned around, and opened the door. Wan Peng exerted his spiritual sense to the extreme at this time, although the voice between the two was extremely soft, but he could also capture the vibration through his spiritual sense, and then feed back to recognize. He had only recently begun to learn the use of these spiritual senses.
The things reported by the subordinates are indeed very urgent and very important. Because, the spiritual feedback that Wan Peng heard was that the second prince Songliang was murdered, and the real murderer is unknown!
Obviously, the main purpose of killing the second prince at this time was to put the royal family into chaos. The old king was seriously ill, the third prince had just returned wearing a hat that might be in the same league as the Ape Clan, and the death of a second prince was enough to put the Purple Mansion itself into an extremely difficult situation.
However, who could it be? Could it be the eldest prince Zhuyou? If it was really him, he would get rid of the second prince, and there was obviously a lot of opportunities, so there was no need to do it at this time. What's more, in dealing with the matter of the third prince, Takeyou and Matsura have differences, and doing it now is equivalent to setting yourself on fire.
Naturally, it is not excluded that it is because the contradiction has intensified to a point, and everything has been arranged, but at this time, the third prince of Lan Jia appeared. However, judging from Wan Peng's feelings, Takeyou is indeed as he said, and he does not look like a person who wants to fight for the throne at the cost of killing his younger brother.
Zhuyu left and did not come back to say hello to Wanpeng. Wan Peng sat for a while, sighed, and asked Liyang, "Your family, was it so complicated at that time?"
Liyang snorted, "your fart!" my family was just me and my sister at the time. My sister is gone, and I'm left alone. Where did all this!"
Wan Peng smiled triumphantly. In fact, he felt that during this time, Liyang was a little depressed. This guy, since he left the cultivator world again, once there is no battle to fight, his emotions are always not so high. This kind of joke has also become a way for Wan Peng to relieve his emotions.
"Wan Peng, you have been released. A caretaker came over at this time, "Just now, Prince Zhuyou explained that it is the first time that you and your friend have come to Zixiao, and this is the place he has given you to settle down." As for the residence, since the third prince has not been in the Purple Mansion for a long time, his original courtyard is in disrepair, you can temporarily go to the state guesthouse to stay, this is the key. ”
Arrange a place to stay?Wan Peng immediately understood in his heart that Zhuyou still didn't want Lan Jia and the two of them to leave his surveillance sight. Is it for safety, or something else? Wan Peng couldn't help but feel a little more vigilant in his heart.
