“It’s not enough to send a letter to the Second Prince, but also to the Liu family.”
“Father means for the Liu family to help the Second Prince? ”
Xiao Zheng asked.
Duke Ding shook his head, “The Second Prince is not a virtuous person, in case he changes his mind at the last minute and attacks the Wu family and frames the Grand Prince, none of the Wu family will escape, with the Liu family present, the Second Prince will not dare to do so.”
……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
A few people silently touched the hearse. The wakekeeper was dozing off when he suddenly woke up and subconsciously screamed when he looked up and saw the dark figures.
The lights in the main courtyard were still on, and a haggard Mrs. Wu Jin looked at her two sleeping children in bed and wept silently.
With the death of the Imperial Concubine and the death of Wu Jin and Wu Sheng, the Wu family was in complete ruin, and what frightened her most was that there were still people watching the family, ready to strike at her and her two children.
When she thought of this, she dared not go to bed, lest she be killed silently in her sleep.
The door seemed to shake slightly and Mrs Wu’s heart clenched as she grabbed the short knife on the table and stared at the door.
The door swung a few more times, accompanied by the whistling of the wind.
She slowly lowered the knife and covered her chest, but did not see a light wisp of smoke drifting in through the door with the cold wind and into her nose.
She slumped slowly onto the table.
The door to the room was opened and several people came in, two of them picked up Mrs. Wu Jin left and right, while the other two picked up a child each and went to the hearth, leaving the person on the floor.
A ladle of cold water was thrown on Mrs. Wu Jin’s face and she woke up, smelling the heavy smell of blood before she could open her eyes.
She opened her eyes in horror and saw the servants of the wake fall to the ground, gurgling blood flowing from their necks.
Subconsciously she was about to scream when she saw the two children thrown to the ground and crawled over to protect them in her arms, “Who are you?”
No one answered.
The man in black closest to her crouched down, his cold voice devoid of any emotion, “Want them alive?”
Lady Wu nodded desperately.
“Who was behind this and instructed you?”
Mrs. Wu’s teeth chattered, “You, what are you saying, what are you saying? I, I don’t understand.”
The man in black sneered and skimmed at the child beneath her.
Mrs. Wu was terrified and shielded her children tighter and tighter, “He, they are still young, they don’t know anything, please, let them go.”
“If you want them to live, then answer my words properly, who was behind those rumours?”
“Wh, what rumours, I, I don’t know.”
“Toast.”
The man in black ripped her away and stomped one of the children underfoot.
“No!”
Mrs Wujin lunged up, desperately trying to move the man in black’s feet away, “Please, spare them, they ……”
CRACK!
Mrs. Wu’s liver and guts split and she crashed into the man in black like a madman, but her hair was pulled and
“I ask you once more, who is behind this and who is directing you?”
“You give me back my child! Give me back my child!”
“Seek death!”
The man in black raised his hand and a cold light came at him, the man in black took two steps back to avoid it, “Who?”
Bam!
The door was kicked open and Commander Liu rushed in with his men, seeing the scene before him, his jealousy split, “Take them down, don’t let any of them get away.”
……
“Your Highness, it’s not good!”
The butler rushed into the study.
The Grand Prince was resting his eyes closed when he heard the words and instantly opened his eyes.
The butler’s face turned pale, “All our men have been taken down by Liu Ying!”
The Grand Prince’s face turned pale in an instant, he got up and headed out, walking to the door and then suddenly stopping, he couldn’t go, going would be admitting that those people were sent by himself.
“Idea to send a message to those caught, tell them not to confess.”
The butler answered and ran out quickly.
The Grand Prince slowly walked back to his chair and sat down slumped.
……
The second prince’s situation was the opposite of the eldest prince’s. After listening to the butler’s report, the second prince walked around the study several times in excitement before stopping.
“The Boss won’t just sit back and wait for death, send more men to guard around the Wu family, there’s no need to show mercy if anyone suspicious approaches.”
At the same time, the door of the capital’s governor’s house was knocked open. After hearing the sheriff’s report, the capital’s governor’s face changed dramatically and he hurriedly left his house, got on a carriage and went to the Wu family.
Just as he reached the door, he smelled the strong smell of blood.
The people in the neighbourhood were standing around the entrance in three layers, talking about it while poking their heads in to see.
“Get out of the way, the lord is here!”
The crowd quickly moved out of the way, and the capital’s governor walked in and drew a breath when he saw the situation before him.
There were several bodies lying on the ground, and Lady Wu Jin was crying her heart out as she held a child, whose head was drooping helplessly, with blood still lingering at the corners of her mouth.
The child’s head drooped helplessly, blood still lingering at the corners of its mouth. The Commander Liu was holding a shivering child in his left hand. The child’s right hand was hanging down and the wound on his arm was shocking, blood dripping down his fingers and onto the ground.
Kneeling beside him were several men in black with their jaws supposedly removed, their mouths unable to close.
“Lord Prefect ……”
The fire was bubbling in Commander Liu’s eyes, if he hadn’t wanted to keep these men to bring down the Grand Prince, he would have chopped them into mincemeat.
“I have verified that these people are the Grand Prince’s men.”
The capital magistrate drew another breath of cold air and his voice trembled, “Can Commander Liu, Liu be sure?”
Commander Liu gestured, and a man dressed as a houseboy came forward and handed a waist tag to the capital magistrate.
The magistrate could see clearly that it was indeed the waist plate of the Grand Prince’s residence.
He wondered, “Has the Grand Prince lost his mind? It was not enough for him to spread such unpleasant rumours, but he even sent someone to kill him.
“The other people also have it on their bodies, Your Excellency can send someone to search them if you don’t believe me.”
Without waiting for the magistrate to say anything, the sheriff stepped forward and retrieved the waist cards from several people and presented them to him together.
“Take the men back and interrogate them overnight.”
……
The following morning at court.
The emperor still had not recovered from the grief of the death of the imperial concubine, and was sitting in the dragon chair in low spirits.
Eunuch Huang shouted, as usual, “If you have something to say, leave the court.”
The Governor of the capital stepped forward, “I have something to present.”
“Granted.”
“Last night the Grand Prince sent his men to the Wu residence and killed three of the Wu family’s servants and a child, the evidence is conclusive.”
Boom!
The hall suddenly exploded.
Boom!
The Grand Prince knelt down.
The emperor stared at him with a deadly stare, “Is what the capitalist government has said true?”
“My son, my son ……”
“I ask you if it is true?”
The Grand Prince knew that the momentum was gone and cried out in pain, “My son was possessed for a moment, please be merciful, Father.”
“b*****d!”
The Emperor was so angry that he almost fell off the dragon chair, Eunuch Huang was busy coming forward to help, but the Emperor pushed him away, furious, and
“Abolish the body of Chu Yuan’s prince and deport him to Liangzhou.”
