I Am A Hereditary Jailer, Starting To Suppress The Eldest Princess

Chapter 428: A Difficulty for Emperor Sheng Wen! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)

King Pingyuan is the uncle of Emperor Shengwen, a figure of the older generation, who has not been involved in government affairs for many years, and at the same time has a high prestige in the army.

Thinking of this information, Xiao Ran frowned. The Nirvana Holy Pill is obviously used to treat syphilis. Could it be that he also got syphilis? Or was he taking action this time to save the prince behind him?

With his status, if he wants the holy blood of Nirvana, he can ask for it from Emperor Sheng Wen in an open and honest manner. No matter how good the treasure is, it is a treasure after all. With his face, Emperor Sheng Wen will not refute it, and most of them will reward it to the emperor. He, but now is good, but he chooses to steal the warehouse of the household department.

This matter will never be so simple!

Even if King Pingyuan did it, there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.

Think here.

Xiao Ran looked at him coldly, not knowing what was going on, meeting his eyes, Wu Lihou panicked again, as if facing the greatest terror in the world, he pressed his palms on the ground in a panic, once again Backed away, shaking his head while backing up: "You, what do you want to do?"

"Give you a chance, you don't know how to cherish it! You still want to be careful."

see.

Marquis Wu Li got up from the ground, hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, weeping, there was no dignity of a Marquis, not even a dog: "Really! I didn't lie to you, it was really King Pingyuan who instructed me Yes, he told me that His Majesty is about to die, as long as I am willing to help, he, he will make me the King of the opposite sex when things are done."

Xiao Ran grasped the key point, and this is the key.

If there is no huge benefit, it is impossible to instruct a Hou Ye to work on such a big case for him.

But there is still a little doubt, when will Emperor Shengwen die? Why hasn't he heard any news?

With the power he has now, if Emperor Sheng Wen really wants to die, he will know it immediately.

From this point of view, there is a huge conspiracy hidden in it.

Either he wanted to conspire against him, or the prince behind him wanted to attack Emperor Sheng Wen.

Xiao Zhou also knew the seriousness of the matter, and asked in a deep voice, "What should Brother Xiao do now?"

boom!

Xiao Ran angrily knocked a chestnut on his head, and glared at him: "It's been so long, why can't I use my own brain to think about things?"

"Isn't it because of you? As long as you're here, I won't bother to use my brain. It's so easy." Xiao Zhou stroked his head and smiled triumphantly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use his brain, when he was with Xiao Ran and the others, as long as he had hands, he would do what they said, and carry out the order to the end.

In this way, a lot of brain cells can also be saved.

I have to say, this guy is quite clever.

"Let Sister Yan take care of you later!" Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at him.

Shen Sheng said.

"Take them and go to Prince Pingyuan's mansion! I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Prince Pingyuan's Calabash!"

Xiao Zhou summoned the members of the Divine Sword Guards around him and escorted them towards Pingyuan Palace.

What happened here has alarmed everyone.

Don't look at the obvious, no one jumped out to stop him. One is that he didn't dare, he was afraid of being involved and would set himself up. The other is that Xiao Ran's name is too big. The relationship network weaved over the years has reached a super terrifying level.

This matter has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to offend him.

The eldest prince and the second prince also got the news. In their view, it was just an ordinary case. Even if it was the household department that was stolen, and 100 million silver was lost, plus some precious treasures, there was no reason to make such a fuss, right?

Murderer actually sent out Xiao Ran, a big killer, with a sledgehammer. While he felt that he was overqualified, he had doubts in his heart. Could it be that there was a huge unknown conspiracy hidden in it?

At this point, they dare not take it lightly.

What happened with the third prince and others is still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday. If they are not careful, they could capsize in the gutter at any time. They don't want to die, and they don't want to waste everything they have done in these years.

Immediately send people to investigate and issue a death order, we must find out what is hidden in this case, and what ulterior secret is hidden behind it.

secretly.

The spies of the major forces, hiding in the dark, watched them coldly, waiting for the results to come out, and then passed the news back as soon as possible.

soon.

A group of Xiao Ran stopped outside Pingyuan Palace.

The guard at the door lowered his head, his face was sad, and there was a lot of sadness. A sad atmosphere filled the air, as if something important had happened.

The leading guard hurried forward, cupped fist saluted, and said respectfully: "I have seen Lord Hou!"

Xiao Ran frowned, looked in the direction across the courtyard, the sad atmosphere shrouded the palace, and at the same time, the expressions on their faces were also seen in her eyes, and she guessed in her heart, did King Pingyuan commit suicide? ?

Other than that, there is no other explanation.

Furthermore.

Once he committed suicide, the clues that have been traced now will be interrupted here, and the case will stop here, unless there are other clues.

Before he could speak, Xiao Zhou was the first to ask, "What's going on with you?"

"I, my lord just now, my old illness relapsed, and I have already passed away!"

Xiao Zhou didn't speak any more, he looked at Xiao Ran, waiting for his order.

Xiao Ran ordered: "Take us there."

"Please!" The guard leader made a gesture of invitation and led them into the belly.

for a while.

In the backyard, the Shenjian guards escorted Dan Wudao and Wu Lihou outside, their bones had been blocked, even if they wanted to struggle, they couldn't get over the waves, let alone escape.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Zhou entered the room, and in the bedroom, his family members hugged his dead body and cried in a mess.

Seeing Xiao Ran coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Xiao Ran nodded and looked at King Pingyuan's body. From the outside, it didn't look like he was poisoned, nor did he seem to be murdered. On his chest, there were three relatively serious hidden wounds, which had now opened, which made him His vitality has come to an end, coupled with his advanced age, everything makes sense.

If it weren't for today's incident, King Pingyuan is now Death, he might believe it.

But he had just found the evidence, and when he found out that the man behind the scene was King Pingyuan, he died on his side, let alone him, no matter who it was, he would not believe it.

Looking at his family members, he asked coldly, "Before he died, did he explain anything?"

"No!"

"I'm talking to you now, it's a chance for you, if you don't know how to praise, you are not here, but in the prison, from now on, you will not see the sun."

"Master Hou, really not!"

"He's so naive, does he think he can protect you all?" Xiao Ran sneered.

Turn around and leave.

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, wanted to ask questions but didn't dare, and made eye contact with each other.

"Brother Xiao, is that all?"

"Didn't you hear me?"

Xiao Zhou slapped his head and realized that King Pingyuan had already been involved in the case of the theft of the warehouse of the household department, and now there is still a possibility of treason. Regardless of whether he died or not, his family members would suffer along with him. With a wave of his hand, Immediately ordered: "Take everyone away and imprison them all in the sky prison! If there is any resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"

The guards in the palace don't know what to do.

Seeing that they hadn't dropped their weapons yet, the people of the Divine Sword Guard had rushed up and killed them. Seeing this, the rest of the people realized that they were no longer the servants of the high-ranking palace, but had been reduced to prisoners. Throw down the weapon in your hand, put your head in your hands, and squat on the ground to surrender.

resist?

It doesn't exist, not to mention that the group of people in front of them are vicious sword guards, even if they were replaced by ordinary officers and soldiers, they would not dare to borrow their courage.

If they really did that, not only would they die, but even their families would suffer along with them.

soon.

All the people in the palace, including these servants, were arrested, not even a dog was spared. The gate was locked and sealed.

So far, Pingyuan Palace is completely finished.

Holding them, Xiao Ran walked towards the dungeon.

When we got to Vermilion Bird Avenue, let Xiao Zhou go first, hand over these people to Zhang Yu, turn around and walk towards the Excalibur Guard, if such a big thing happened, if he moved again, the prince would be involved, he was afraid that he would When doing something, Emperor Sheng Wen will jump out. After all, the relationship between them is very bad, and no one can guarantee what will happen then.

Let Lei Yuantai enter the palace and give him the right to choose. If he doesn't choose not to do it, he won't bother with the follow-up matters. Even if the prince really rebelled, he won't bother, just sit and watch them plot rebellion .

When the opportunity is right, he will take his place.

He didn't want to take this step, but only if Emperor Sheng Wen didn't force him.

If you really want to take this step, there are still many preparations in secret, and the army, officials, top powerhouses, etc. must be recruited.

Arrived at Excalibur Guard.

Seeing him coming, the guard at the gate saluted respectfully.

Xiao Ran went straight into the depths and stopped outside Lei Yuantai's yard.

"Go and report to Sword Master Lei, even if this Marquis is here."

Lei Yuantai knew that he had come, and with his Cultivation Base, there was nothing to hide from him about what happened nearby. A close aide came quickly and stopped in front of him: "I've seen Lord Marquis!"

"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded.

"Sword Master let you go!"

Into the yard.

Xiao Ran entered the study, Lei Yuantai was sitting on a chair, reading a book, a pot of tea was already brewed beside him, when he saw him coming, he put down the tea pot, poured a cup, put it on the opposite side, and signaled him to sit down.

Walking over, Xiao Ran sat beside him.

Holding the teacup, holding the tea lid and pressing it a few times, the rich tea aroma came out from inside, and the aroma came before drinking it.

After taking a sip, the tea enters the mouth, the taste is strong and the aftertaste is endless, and it takes a long time to dissipate.

After finishing a cup of tea, he took the tea and poured himself another cup. He didn't rush to drink it, and joked with a smile: "You really know how to enjoy it."

"When you come to Lei's Realm, Cultivation Base wants to go further. It's hard to reach the sky, and the power is the same. It's already an extremely high-ranking official, and there is no way to rise. Unless you are like you, find another shortcut and make meritorious service on the battlefield. But This road is so difficult, not to mention that there is no fight yet, even if you want to fight and become a marquis, you must at least make a huge contribution, or win a state." Lei Yuantai said.

After chatting.

To the point.

Lei Yuantai's face was serious, and he said seriously: "How far have you found out?"

Xiao Ran briefly explained the matter.

finished listening.

Lei Yuantai's face was serious, with seriousness written all over his face, he was not in a hurry to speak, he tapped his fingers on the table, as if he was in deep thought, and after a long time, he finally asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's not what I'm going to do? It's what he's going to do?"

Lei Yuantai knew what Xiao Ran's words meant, and also knew the festival between them.

Otherwise, based on the merit Xiao Ran made last time, such a great contribution is enough to be crowned king, but in the end he was only named "Wu Shuang Hou". I don't want to seal it either!

"I am firmly on your side."

Standing up from the chair, moving your body, sighed: "When I am old, I thought of taking care of my life, but now I look at it, I actually want to move a little bit."

"Don't get involved, it's not good for you." Xiao Ran shook his head.

"I'm not even afraid of you, what have I to be afraid of?"

Looking in the direction of the imperial palace, his temperament changed, the elegant and easy-going disappeared, replaced by fierce and resolute, unyielding, sharp-edged: "Wait for my good news!"

Xiao Ran also stood up from the chair: "Want me to go there with you?"

"You used to be afraid that it would arouse his suspicion, and you thought you deliberately set up a trap to catch them all."

"I'm waiting for your news."

Xiao Ran didn't insist anymore, some things don't need to be said too clearly, especially in their position, if the words are too clear, there is no meaning at all.

Immediately left his yard and walked towards the own yard.

Knowing that he was coming, Shen Yiming put down what he was doing and hurried over. After entering the courtyard, he closed the door. Xiao Ran took out a pot of Dutianzui, poured two glasses, and they touched each other.

After finishing the wine in the glass, Shen Yiming couldn't wait to ask: "How's the matter?"

"The prince is involved." Xiao Ran didn't hide anything, and said it in detail.

Looking in the direction of the palace, Shen Yiming's eyes flickered, "This time, it is really a difficult problem for him."

Again.

"He can only wake up for one hour a day. Even if he splits the time and uses it, there is not much time left. He has to make a decision in a short time. I don't know if he will be angry."

Xiao Ran smiled, no matter what he decided, he had to do it.

"No matter what the result is, if it is useful to get my place, I will only let you know at any time. As soon as I get news from my side, I will immediately bring someone over to help you."

"Thank you!" Xiao Ran raised his wine glass to touch him, and they both drank the wine in their glasses.

Shen Yiming said again: "Which prince do you suspect did it?"
