Hard to be a good wife

The huge mansion suddenly turned into a dead place, one can imagine the sensation caused in Ye City, even the ministers in the court were talking about it.

The murder happened at night, and the people around didn't hear any movement at all. It was only after waking up the next morning that they smelled the pungent smell of blood that someone followed the smell and saw the tragedy.

Headless corpses fell to the ground in a mess, the blood congealed into a small ditch, and several wild dogs nearby were barking around, trying to get close but not daring.

Screams woke up the surrounding neighbors. The location of the county palace is full of dignitaries, and this discovery was immediately reported to Tian Ting.

But the king's attitude is really intriguing. Although he also ordered people to investigate the case and was furious, he didn't take any measures to compensate him. Even when everyone asked about the whereabouts of the old county king, the king of Nanjin kept silent.

However, the King of the Southern Jin Dynasty still issued an order to seal the county mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. In the dead of night, the people nearby could always hear some inexplicable voices. Gradually, rumors spread that it was the family of the county mansion Death does not rest in peace, ghosts linger, stay in the world and refuse to reincarnate.

After the news spread, before many people spontaneously swept outside the palace of the county king, the officials who had a close relationship with the old county king also invited eminent monks to come and pray, hoping to restore the place to normal as soon as possible.

Within a day, a Huaian Palace was burned down in the palace, and all the county palaces outside the palace were destroyed. Some people wondered whether there was any connection between the two years, but they couldn't figure it out.

Tang Yue was stunned when he heard the news, "Is this the king's writing brush?"

Prince Zhao nodded. In Yecheng, who else has the ability to slaughter a family of hundreds of people without disturbing anyone?

Although the heirs of the old county king are withered, there are quite a few offspring. He selected a few well-qualified children and wanted to cultivate them himself, and they will become the right-hand man of the county palace in the future. too much.

"It's terrible. Did the old county king really commit adultery with Mrs. Ying?" Tang Yue couldn't figure it out. As the king's favorite woman, how could she fall in love with an old man outside the palace?

If Mrs. Ying had an affair with a prince, he thought it was normal.

But considering Mrs. Naying's age, there must not be any prince who is not good-eyed.

"I don't know whether there is adultery, but the secret path does exist. Even if there is no adultery, the two of them still have some ulterior relationship."

That's right, there are three exits in one secret passage, but the two of them have one in their bedrooms. If they say they have no contact, no one will believe it. It is no wonder that the King of Nanjin got mad.

"I'm afraid it won't take a year or two to build such a large-scale secret road. How did the old county king do it?" If he is really so capable, does it mean that he has something against the Southern Jin Dynasty? "

Prince Zhao handed him the secret report newly obtained by the secret guard, "According to the investigation, the secret passage underground in the county palace was not dug this year, it may have a history of hundreds of years, but some places have been changed and dug again. Only after opening some places can we have the scale it is today.”

"The county king's mansion was rewarded by the father, presumably the old county king also accidentally discovered the underground secret passage, and secretly remodeled it before today's incident happened."

Tang Yue still has many puzzles, for example, how did Crown Prince Zhao discover this secret way, how did he report it to the king, and what is the relationship between the old county king and Mrs. Ying.

"It's not a good thing to be so curious." Prince Zhao pinched Tang Yue's cheek and joked, but Prince Zhao who could tell him would say it.

Speaking of which, it was an unexpected surprise to find the secret passage. The dark guard chased a suspicious person out of the city, and accidentally entered the exit outside the city by mistake.

Then he followed that secret path to the underground of the Prince's Mansion, which was terrible, and the hidden guards were no longer busy arresting people, so they rushed back to report to Prince Zhao.

Naturally, Prince Zhao did not expect that there was a third exit from that secret road. He sent a few confidantes to walk along that secret road several times and drew a detailed map. When he was in the position, his whole body was not well.

His first reaction was the same as that of the King of Southern Jin. This secret passage must have been dug by the old county king for a tryst with Mrs. Ying. Even after he knew that the secret passage was not all from the hands of the old county king, he did not dispel his doubts about them.

As for the treasures and weapons in the secret path, there are some bulls, presumably the old county king is also a beneficiary, but he didn't move these things back home, but continued to stay in the secret path, probably thinking that this place is safer, who would have thought it would be There was a leaked day.

Prince Zhao only needs to spread the news. As soon as the king of Nanjin heard that there was a secret passage underground in the county mansion, he would send someone to investigate it.

Only then did the burning of the Huai'an Hall and the bloodbath of the county prince's mansion take place.

The King of Southern Jin didn't feel that he did something wrong, and he also sent people to investigate the relationship between the two. Although the results of the investigation did not clearly indicate that the two were having an affair, it was almost the same.

It turned out that before the King of Southern Jin came to the throne, Mrs. Ying had met the old county king at the prince's mansion at that time. Lei Chi took a step.

It wasn't until the old county king found out about the secret passage that he made use of it. He entered Mrs. Ying's bedroom through the secret passage, and raped Mrs. Ying on a dark and stormy night. The wife already had a crush on him, so she maintained a low-key and long-term adulterous relationship with him half-coerced and half-willingly.

When the two got older, Mrs. Ying also lost her youth and beauty, and the relationship between the two gradually faded away.

But none of them expected that the secret path would be discovered one day. How could the enraged Southern Jin King allow them to live in this world and dirty his eyes?

In a remote palace in the royal palace, the old county king was locked here in embarrassment, surrounded by dark and muddy water prisons, his limbs were pierced by iron chains and stared at the wall, and he had long since lost the will to survive.

The king of Southern Jin did not kill him like Mrs. Ying, but imprisoned him here and tortured him slowly. When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty guessed the whereabouts of the old king, he was not far from them.

Tang Yue also curiously asked Prince Zhao about the whereabouts of the old county king, and Prince Zhao only replied him with four words: "Life is better than death!"

Tang Yue felt a chill all over, and he could probably guess how miserable his end was.

From then on, he knew that this person would never appear in this world again.

"Then what does the king think of Wang Zixu? Do you suspect that he is not your own?" Tang Yue thought about this matter with a normal person's thinking, and felt that Wang Zixu would probably not be happy.

"He huddled in the ancestral temple and couldn't come out. He said he sincerely prayed for the people and the father. Originally, the father had planned to recruit him back during the New Year's Eve and wanted to entrust him with important tasks. Who knows... oh, even if the father Ming If you don’t say it on the face, there will always be a thorn in your heart.”

"However, I don't think the king is such an irrational person. Wang Zixu's appearance is somewhat similar to the king's. It can be seen that it is his own. However, anger is inevitable. I think it will not be reused for a long time. him?"

"Indeed, the eldest prince looks the most like his father among all the princes, and he is the eldest son, so he has been favored since he was a child, but how much his father loved him before, he will hate him in the future. The green hat is not casual It can be picked off.

From now on, every time the King of Southern Jin sees Wang Zixu, he will definitely think of his dead mother. When thinking of that woman, he will naturally think of the matter between him and the old county king. How could he be in a good mood?

If the King of Nanjin is in a bad mood, the life of the eldest prince will definitely not be easy.

"Then we're killing two birds with one stone?" Tang Yue really envied Prince Zhao's luck, and solved their current opponent so effortlessly.

It has to be said that the discovery of that secret path was too timely.

"At least in the short term, there will be no flies staring at us."

"It's a pity that the treasures and weapons in the secret path, why didn't His Highness bring back those things first?" That's a lot of money.

Prince Zhao stared at him with a strange expression, "How do you know Gu didn't pull the thing back?"

"Didn't it mean... Your Majesty found those things from the secret passage?" The news came from the palace, so it couldn't be false, right?

Prince Zhao patted his thigh, asked Tang Yue to sit up, and then pointed to his lips. After Tang Yue kissed him reluctantly, he said: "A large part of the treasure is printed with the official seal of the previous dynasty. Pulling it back is not easy to use, I only selected a part that can be used at any time, and for those weapons, I only selected the useful part, and the rest are either rusty or too backward, which is not very useful at all.”

Prince Zhao blinked triumphantly, "We can't bring back a pile of useless garbage, taking up space for nothing."

The corner of Tang Yue's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: You don't want to bring the trash back and give it to your father. Is it appropriate to be so cheating?

Fortunately, the King of Nanjin still counted those things and put them in the warehouse, as if pie fell from the sky, how could he know that those things were all rubbish that his son didn't want.

While Tang Yue mourned for the King of Southern Jin, he was also worthless for him. He raised so many sons, but none of them was sincere to him. It was really sad and pitiful.
