Cannon fodder counterattack standard

The servant is in his early thirties, and he has always enforced the law impartially. He is a servant promoted by the emperor. Like Liu Aoyun, he is a person who does not pose any threat to the courtiers. But because of his justice, he is a villain. archenemy.

Although the ninth prince didn't do anything himself, he also guessed that the death of the fifth prince must have something to do with the crown prince and his mother, so he still didn't like to see the minister of punishment.

The Ninth Prince didn't know that the servant of the Ministry of Justice had discovered the problem with his guard's weapon, so although he didn't want to see the servant, he could only laugh along with him and said, "Does the servant want to visit the king's martial arts field again?"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment smiled and said: "If it is possible, I will be very grateful."

After the Ninth Prince heard this, he was actually very upset, because he is a martial arts practitioner, and he doesn't care about other gold, silver and treasures, but he cares about this martial arts field very much. Feeling depressed in his heart, he raised his hand to tell the guards to stop their movements, then turned to look at Mr. Minister and said, "Master Minister, please."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment went in, and several guards stood aside. Two of their upper bodies were not even wearing clothes. Their strong upper bodies were full of muscles, and there were no obvious wounds all over their bodies.

The servant smiled and said, "Your Highness, these guards seem to practice a lot, and they are all tall."

"Of course." Compared with the other guards, the guards of the Ninth Prince are indeed better, because among all the princes, the one who advocates martial arts the most is the Ninth Prince.

"Although I am a civil servant, I have always admired those who practice martial arts, because no matter who practices martial arts, they have to practice three or nine times in winter and three days in summer, and the hardship is several times that of a literati. Alas, I'm ashamed to say, Weichen tried to practice for a few days, but finally gave up because he couldn't take it anymore, seeing all the masters compete today is really an eye-opener."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was obviously praising the guards, but the Ninth Prince also practiced martial arts, so in fact he was also praising the Ninth Prince, and the unhappiness of the Ninth Prince just now had completely dissipated, because he thought that the Minister of Punishment was much cuter compared to other literati Yes, you are right.

"Everywhere, it's all for fun." The Ninth Prince said polite words, but the expression on his face had already betrayed his mood.

The servant of the punishment department was happy to see him, so he took out a weapon and asked, "Is this a halberd? I have seen it in books, but I have never seen anyone use it."

As soon as the Ninth Prince mentioned martial arts, he forgot about other things, took the long halberd from the servant's hand and said: "Yes. The long halberd is indeed rarely used, because it is difficult to grasp, so people who use the long halberd are more likely to use it than others More time to practice."

After finishing speaking, the Ninth Prince pointed the long halberd towards the sky, then quickly retreated, turning around, the long halberd stabbed left and right in a very chic manner.

The Ninth Prince performed a few moves casually, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment clapped his hands and applauded, the Ninth Prince put down the halberd, scratched his head and said: "My long halberd is not good, just play it a few times."

"Just two casual strikes are already so powerful, Your Highness, you are really humble."

The Ninth Prince likes to practice martial arts, so after being praised, he became more and more interested. The servant of the Ministry of Justice didn't say anything, he just picked up a weapon and started playing again, saying, "This is called a four-edged mace. It looks like a sword when used. It looks similar, but it is lighter than a sword and has greater lethality. Although most people like to use two maces together, I prefer to use one."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment smiled slightly, as if admiring it, but he was thinking in his heart that the four-edged mace was actually banned in Dashen, even in the army, and it was indeed very lethal, because the mace Everyone knows that as long as you stab the opponent and turn the mace again, the opponent's death rate is definitely higher than that of the sword. Although this is the palace, the Ninth Prince likes to practice martial arts and can use it for practice, but if you really dare to use this The people who have stuff definitely have a strong background.

In fact, it was also thanks to the fact that he used a four-edged mace, which made it easier to find out and find evidence.

Clapping his hands, the servant of the Criminal Department asked: "Your Highness's four-edged mace is incomparable. Is there anyone in His Highness's guards who can use this weapon?"

"All of them, but one is the best. It's a pity that he is not on duty today, and the servant can't see it."

"That's such a pity."

After that, the Ninth Prince played with almost all the weapons in his backyard. At the same time, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also set out the situation of the Ninth Prince and the prince's guards. After that, he just found the killer of that day without scaring the snake.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was in a very good mood when he left the Lanzhu Palace, as good as the Ninth Prince, but seeing the smile of the Ninth Prince, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice still sighed inaudibly, because the Ninth Prince might just become the prince's scapegoat.

Thinking of this, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't bear it. After all, the Ninth Prince didn't look bad. If he was killed by his own brother like this, he would probably turn into a ghost and come back to take revenge.

Forget it, the servant didn't let himself think about it, he hoped he could find evidence to prove that the Ninth Prince was not the mastermind.

The servant of the Ministry of Justice left, and then began to conduct intensive undercover investigations. Seven days later, he handed over all the evidence to the present Holy Majesty.

The emperor frowned and looked at all the evidence, and finally heaved a long sigh and said, "How could it be Lao Jiu?"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, because all the evidence pointed to the Ninth Prince, and all the guards of the Ninth Prince were actually loyal to the Prince.

In fact, the prince can put the blame on other princes, why would he want to put the blame on his own brother?

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was very puzzled by this point, the emperor was only shocked by the actions of the ninth prince at the moment, and he also regretted that he had wronged the prince in his heart.

With a long sigh, the emperor closed his eyes and said weakly: "What should I do according to the law?"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishments replied in a deep voice: "If you poison the prince, you will be executed according to the law."

In fact, according to the law, it should be punished by the nine clans, and the servant of the Ministry of punishment couldn't bear it anymore.

"Break off your right hand, send it to the frontier, and never return to the court."

After all, the emperor was playing for his own benefit, and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment knelt down to receive the decree, preparing to arrest the Ninth Prince and bring him to justice.

On the same day, the Ninth Prince went to jail. He didn't even know what happened. The people in the palace were panicked and everyone was in danger.

The prince was quiet as usual, but the queen passed out after hearing the news.

That night, Shen Han thought about it, and said to Liu Aoyun: "The prince did it, he deliberately blamed it."

Liu Aoyun thought for a while and asked: "The Ninth Prince is part of the Crown Prince's group. If he supports the Crown Prince, why does the Crown Prince still blame him? If he blames other princes, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"No, the prince actually doesn't have an opinion, but he is afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that the Queen will abandon him and support the Ninth Prince instead."

Liu Aoyun was stunned for a moment, trying to figure it out, but after he figured it out, he became even more depressed. The prince never had his own opinions, but he could do such a cruel thing for himself, I really don't know whether to be sad or sigh.

"The Ninth Prince himself is not bad, but it's a pity that he has an elder brother who is not as good as a beast." Shen Han said.

Liu Aoyun also nodded, and then both of them fell silent.

After a long time, Liu Aoyun suddenly said: "Is there no way to repay his innocence?"

Shen Han shook his head and said: "At first I thought the prince would use the Ninth Prince to do things, but what I didn't expect was that he didn't just use it, he prepared all the evidence and witnesses, and waited for the Ninth Prince to take advantage of it, so looking for evidence It will be difficult for a while. Moreover, the Ninth Prince will be executed in two days, his right hand will be cut off, and he will be sent to the frontier. In these two days, the Prince will definitely pay close attention to it, and it will be even more difficult to find new evidence."

Liu Aoyun was silent again, and so was Shen Han.

But after a while, Shen Han suddenly said: "If someone goes to visit and accidentally releases the Ninth Prince, what do you think he will do?"

"But in this way, the visitor may die, and the guard may also be held accountable."

"What if the guard is stunned?"

Liu Aoyun was startled, and said in a low voice: "Han'er, don't move around, I really feel wronged by the Ninth Prince, but I don't want you to be in any danger because of the Ninth Prince."

Shen Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, how can I be so stupid, I'm talking about the queen."

"Queen?"

Shen Han nodded, "The queen should understand now, as the birth mother of the Ninth Prince, what do you think she will do?"

"But she still has the prince. She won't be so stupid. The ninth prince has already been killed. She must protect the prince well."

"So, before the queen goes in, can you get someone to pave the way first?"

Liu Aoyun frowned and thought for a while, "You mean..."

Shen Han nodded, without saying a word, Liu Aoyun stood up abruptly, and said: "Okay, don't worry, I will let the Ninth Prince come out."

After Liu Aoyun left, Shen Han called a few hidden guards down, talked to them in a low voice, then drank tea quietly and waited for the news.

It was night and it was getting dark. Liu Aoyun originally planned to do what Shen Han said by himself, but before he entered the prison, he was blocked by four of Shen Han's hidden guards.

"What are you doing?"

"The Seventh Prince ordered, please cooperate with the general."

"Cooperate with what?"

"Let us protect you."

Liu Aoyun was speechless, these four hidden guards were clearly his own soldiers originally, they were given to Shen Han by him, why do they listen to Shen Han and not him now.

No way, Liu Aoyun could only wait in the dark with the four hidden guards. In addition, the people sent by Liu Aoyun and the few people sent by Shen Han joined together. They quietly drugged all the guards, This drug will make people unconscious. After half an hour, they will pass out completely. Of course, after sleeping for two or three hours, they will wake up as usual.

After everything was done, they prepared to leave, and then tried to find a way to ask the queen to come and see the Ninth Prince, but before they left, the minister of punishment came.

Liu Aoyun continued to hide, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment showed his sign to several guards. The guards were already in a daze, so they nodded and let him in.

Inside the prison, the Ninth Prince's hair was disheveled and his spirit was listless. Now he knew that he had been murdered, but he still didn't believe that it was his own brother who killed him.

The servant stood outside the iron fence, looked at the Ninth Prince inside, and said, "Your Highness, I have brought a jug of wine. Is your Highness interested in tasting it?"

The Ninth Prince raised his head, his eyes were red, but he no longer had the madness he had when he was caught at the beginning. He straightened his hair back, sat by the iron railing, stretched out his hand and directly took the whole pot of wine, and drank it in one gulp go down.

After drinking, the Ninth Prince threw the jug on the ground and said, "Good wine."

"Your Highness, I know that you have been wronged."

"Then you still send me in, hehe, Mr. Minister is really good at acting." The Ninth Prince no longer calls himself the king at this time, he is a prisoner, and he has long since disassociated himself from the prince.

"Yes, I know I was wrong, but I just submitted all the evidence to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty has his own verdict."

"But all the evidence proves that I was the mastermind who killed Brother Wuhuang, right?"

The waiter nodded: "Yes."

"Then let me ask you again, how did 'I' do it?"

"Your Highness, when I went to your Lanzhu Palace that day, I saw your guards in the backyard. At that time, the weapons they used were four-edged maces, and the fifth prince's wound happened to have the mark of a cross."

The Ninth Prince smiled coldly and said, "The square mace is a forbidden weapon. How stupid am I to let the people I send use the square mace?"

The servant didn't speak, and looked at the Ninth Prince quietly.The Ninth Prince froze suddenly after thinking of something for a moment, and then his voice became low and deep, "No wonder, no wonder, I understand, no wonder the prince gave me such powerful guards, no wonder they deliberately taught me to use the four-edged Mace, no wonder, no wonder, because other people can't even practice four-edged mace, right?"

The servant of the Ministry of punishment did not speak, but his attitude was just acquiescing.

The Ninth Prince lowered his head, tears streaming down his face, and the servant also sat silently.The two of them just sat there for about a quarter of an hour without speaking, and then the servant got up, left without saying anything.

Liu Aoyun didn't have time to care about other things, so he asked someone to call the Queen, and guarded him at the side of the prison.

Not long after, the queen really came. At this time, the guards became more and more confused. The queen wanted to go in, but they didn't even stop her.

After seeing the Ninth Prince, the Empress burst into tears, and the Ninth Prince only asked her: "Mother, do you know about this matter?"

The queen shook her head desperately, "Of course I don't know, how could I let your brother harm you, you are also my child."

The Ninth Prince smiled miserably and said, "That's good."

The queen still wanted to talk, but the ninth prince turned around and stopped looking at her. She stared at the back of the ninth prince for a long time, wiped her tears and left the prison.

The queen left, and the Ninth Prince suddenly heard a click, turned around, and saw a bunch of keys in his cell.

Without even thinking about it, the Ninth Prince opened the cell door and walked out. Because of his anxiety, he didn't even pay close attention to the fallen guards.After he got out of the prison, he caught someone casually, changed his clothes, and took the signboard for entering the palace. Then he realized that if he ran away like this, he might harm his mother. After all, the last person to visit him was Queen.

However, the fire in his heart couldn't be extinguished no matter what, he couldn't think so much now, if he really wanted to settle it, it would be a big deal, he would pay his own life.

With his head down, wearing the clothes of a guard, and the waist badge also belonged to that guard, the Ninth Prince tried his best not to allow others to see his appearance clearly.

Fortunately, he didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. Of course he didn't know that this was because Liu Aoyun secretly modified part of the route of patrolling the guards.

The night started to get late, and the Ninth Prince entered the prince's bedroom in the dark.

The crown prince was teasing the child with his concubine, at this time one person entered the door quietly, they didn't even notice, but the newborn child noticed, yelled, pointed at the nine princes, but couldn't say anything.

The prince raised his head, but after raising his head, his whole body froze.

"Emperor...imperial brother, you...why are you here?"

The Ninth Prince smiled and asked back: "Brother Huang, why can't I come? Because I should be in the prison, so I can't come, right?"

The crown prince asked the concubine to take the child down in a low voice, then he stood up and said, "Imperial brother, do you have anything to say?"

The Ninth Prince smiled again, with a sinister and terrifying smile: "No, I only have one person to kill!"

After finishing speaking, the Ninth Prince raised his sword and stabbed at the prince. The prince backed away in panic and shouted: "Come here, there are assassins."

However, as soon as he finished yelling these words, his throat was cut by the Ninth Prince.

The prince opened his eyes wide and looked at the Ninth Prince until he died. He didn't know why he didn't have a single guard by his side, but he probably regretted it when he was dying. He really shouldn't have done such a terrible thing, otherwise at least he could still live, he should Bar.

In fact, the absence of the prince's guards was also caused by Liu Aoyun. He deliberately asked a group of people to change shifts in advance, saying that another wave of guards would arrive soon, but in fact, another wave of guards would not arrive until about a quarter of an hour later.

In this way, the prince died in the hands of his own brother.

The Ninth Prince did not hide or hide, instead he found a pen and paper and wrote a few words, one was to ask the Emperor to let the Empress go, he escaped from the prison by himself, the other was to tell the Emperor that he did not kill the Fifth Prince, and the last sentence was: "I regret being born in the emperor's family."

After writing, the Ninth Prince looked back at his elder brother who had supported him all his life, smiled slightly, and raised his sword to kill himself, it was too late for Liu Aoyun's people to save him.

The night wind was cool, and a full moon hung in the sky. Looking at the dead bodies of the two children, the emperor spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out on the ground.

At this moment in Ninghua Palace, the second prince smiled and said to an eunuch: "Look, the more anxious you are, the faster you will die."
