bastard returns

After finishing the big conversation, the man let out a sigh of relief, as if he still had lingering fears in his heart, "The other villains don't know."

Sikong Xu pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, "What did you say, you mean, that Mr. Su is... dead?" Then he looked back at Murong Cheng in shock.

"Your Majesty, don't believe this man's words. I stayed with Lord Ning in Xiaguan yesterday. I feel that Lord Ning has a very easy-going temperament. He is definitely not a person who cares about human life. There may be some misunderstandings here." Wan Ming He said with a good face.

However, Sikong Xu shook his head and said with a sneer: "Misunderstanding? I don't think so! Master Wan, you have only been in contact with Master Ning for a day. How can you know his vicious methods? I know this very well. If it weren't for this Ning Your lord has been framed many times in the past, and as a subordinate, why did you come to Yanjing to survive in peace."

Sikong Xuan, who just stayed on the sidelines and didn't say a word before, couldn't help it when he heard this, and said to Sikong Xu: "Sikong Xu, I see that your skin is thicker than a city wall. You and that Pang Song has done so many wrong things together, it is almost innumerable. It is also the will of the father himself to remove you from the imperial status and list you as a sinner of my Great Zhou Dynasty. Now you can live in Yanjing without self-reflection That's all, it's really ridiculous to blame others for all your own mistakes."

Sikong Xu has already become a fugitive, even if he was Sikongxuan's elder brother, Sikongxuan is not polite at all, he does not call him by his first name, he seems to be still angry after he finished speaking, and ignores Sikongxu's livid face, Then he continued to Murong Cheng: "Although it is a bit abrupt to say so, Sikong Xu has committed heinous crimes, and he is a fugitive on my most wanted list in Dazhou. I think the king of the county should know his background, so he should be arrested. Staying in Yanjing is not a good thing for Daxia, why not hand it over to me and wait for him to be detained and let him obey the law."

"This king can't decide on this matter." Hearing that Su Che might have been poisoned to death, Murong Cheng's expression naturally became unsightly. Su Che, no matter in terms of appearance, body, or serving skills, was the only one he raised. He is one of the best among people, he hasn't tasted enough yet, so naturally he is not willing to part with it, but facing Sikong Xuan, due to the identity of the other party, he still has a sullen face and said: "Mr. Sikong can stay in Yanjing, that is the queen mother." Your Majesty's order, even though he was a criminal in Dazhou, this is Yanjing, not Huajing, if King Xi wants to arrest someone, he must first ask the Queen Mother for permission." After a pause, Murong Cheng continued He said: "Besides, this king did not come here to discuss such matters with His Royal Highness Xi Wang, so I asked Xi Wang whether what the servant said just now was true. But dead?"

"I don't know about this matter." Sikong Xuan shook his head, and at the same time looked at Ning Yuan and said, "Master Ning, you brought Mr. Su back. Could it be that he is really dead?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with it. I don't know that the servant was instigated by someone else to pour out such dirty water." Ning Yuan pushed it cleanly with a single sentence.

Murong Cheng said coldly: "Hmph, it's not up to you to decide whether there is such a thing, I just send someone to search the post house, I think King Xi has no objection."

Sikong Xuan nodded, "Of course I have no objection, this place was originally the place of the Xia people."

Murong Cheng was not polite, and immediately ordered several soldiers to search the post house.

"Lord Ning, although it is a bit premature to say this, I still want to advise you, if something really happened to Mr. Su, and you insist on not telling the truth here, it will be of no benefit at all. "Sikong Xu said nonchalantly: "If I were you, if I broke the prince's beloved thing, I would have knelt down and begged for mercy. Maybe with the favor of the prince, I wouldn't really make things difficult for a slave. .”

Being ridiculed by Sikong Xu, Ning Yuan actually just raised his eyes and didn't make a sound, as if he had no interest in having a verbal argument with him at all.

Seeing this scene, Sikong Xu didn't speak any more, but put on an expression of looking forward to the show, as if he was waiting for Ning Yuan to suffer.

Once Su Che's body is carried out, with the temper of King Jincheng, Ning Yuan will not be able to live a happy life in Yanjing.

After a while, several soldiers who entered the post house to search really brought out a sack the size of a person, thumped it in front of everyone, knelt down on one knee and said: "Qijun Wang, my subordinates are waiting to get out of the dry well in the backyard of the post house." When I found this thing, I immediately brought it out."

The servant who accused Ning Yuan before also immediately said: "That's right, it's this sack, and Mr. Su's body is inside!"

Hearing this, Sikong Xu's eyes lit up, but his face quickly changed into a look of sadness, and he said to Murong Cheng: "People cannot be resurrected after death, the Duke should not be too sad."

Wan Ming also covered his chest, and said with a sad face: "It is clear how a person who was fine yesterday would become like this. If I had known yesterday, I would have saved him first, and such a tragedy would not have happened. Mr. Su is serious. Poor, even if he didn't come out of the county palace, he is still a living human life, and he was ruined like this, so in Da Zhou, powerful and powerful people can carelessly ignore human life."

The two of them sang together and acted wonderfully, as if they were really sad for "Su Che" in the sack.

"It's really dead!?" Murong Cheng finally couldn't help becoming angry, and scolded Sikong Xuan: "Prince Xi, how do you think about this matter!"

In the end, before Sikong Xuan could speak to Ning Yuan, several soldiers who came out with sacks looked at me and I looked at you, and the leader stammered: "Your Highness, the subordinates have not finished speaking, in fact, this The sack...is not a dead body."

As soon as these words came out, both Wan Ming and Si Kong Xu's expressions froze on their faces, as for the servant who insisted that the corpse was in the sack, he was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"What did you say?" Murong Cheng's expression softened, and he asked, "Isn't this sack filled with corpses?"

"No matter how useless your subordinates are, if you carry this sack all the way here, you won't be able to tell whether it contains corpses or other things." The soldier said as he untied the rope that tied the mouth of the bag, revealing The things contained in the sack, sure enough, there is no corpse in it, but some discarded clothes and broken copper and iron.

"Impossible!" Seeing Murong Cheng's suspicious gaze on him, the servant screamed, "I clearly saw that Mr. Su was poisoned to death, put into a sack and thrown into the well... Did you find the wrong place, or took the wrong thing..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the soldier's cold shout, "I searched the whole post house, and there was only one dry well in the backyard, and there was indeed such a sack in the dry well, saying that I If you found the wrong thing, why didn't you say that you were lying to deceive His Royal Highness from the beginning!"

The soldiers were naturally very respectful towards Murong Cheng, but they naturally didn't look good towards the servants of the post station whose status was lower than them, and they said a word very rudely.

"I didn't lie...Obviously...Obviously..." The servant felt chilled, and he could only grit his teeth and say, "I see, the corpse may have been taken out of the well, if it wasn't in the well, then it must be in the posthouse Elsewhere within..."

This person originally thought that Ning Yuan had sniffed the wind in advance, and was about to let the soldiers search the entire post in detail, but at this moment, a light voice came from outside the crowd, "His Royal Highness! "

Everyone turned their heads following the sound, and saw a young and handsome young man walking along the road from the outermost part of the post house. He was wearing a plain long gown and was carrying a small bundle in his hand. Surprised, but also a little scared to look here.

Seeing the young master's face, Sikong Xu's expression froze instantly, and the servant who was still chattering also opened his mouth wide, speechless.

"Mr. Su?" Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "Where have you been, do you know that your departure almost caused a disturbance to His Royal Highness Prince Xi?"

That's right, the person who appeared suddenly was actually Su Che who was supposed to be "poisoned" to death.

But looking at his flushed face and clean appearance now, he is clearly a person who can't live anymore, and he doesn't look like he has swallowed poison at all.

Su Che went straight forward, first bowed to Sikong Xuan and Ning Yuan, then turned to kneel down to Murong Cheng, and said in a somewhat timid tone: "I pay my respects to the Prince."

Murong Cheng snorted coldly, "I also thought that you were really dead, you were so courageous that you dared to sneak out of the mansion when the king was not there, you should know what will happen to you if the king gets angry, right?" !"

"You know your crime, and you are willing to accept the punishment." Su Che did not defend himself, but Murong was taken aback by what he said, "It is true that a villain is too ungrateful. The county king is so kind to a villain. People are so let down by the love of the county king, I really blame myself. I was going to go back to plead guilty to the county king early this morning, but unfortunately the clothes on my body have become dilapidated due to some accidents yesterday, so I went to buy new clothes first. , and then come back to bid farewell to Lord Ning, who has been taken in for one night, but the king of the county has arrived first, and the king of Lao County is worried, it is really a small thing."

After finishing speaking, Su Che kowtowed obediently again.

This time it was Murong Cheng who was in the dark. Ever since he entered his county palace, Su Che's appearance was indeed the best among all his pets, and his skill in serving others was also remarkable, but Murong Cheng could see it. It came out that when Su Che was dressing himself, he was somewhat perfunctory, and the smile on his face was also very far-fetched, not as tactful and natural as the others, so this time Su Che sneaked away, although Murong Cheng was furious, it was not surprising , and thought that once he was captured, he would have to teach him carefully, no matter what, he had to follow him wholeheartedly, but his teaching hadn't started yet, but Su Che in front of him seemed to be a different person , being so respectful to himself is completely an attitude of wanting to serve him willingly, how can Murong Cheng not be surprised.

As for Sikong Xu, it was a completely different look.

He was the one who tricked Su Che out of the county prince's mansion, and he was the one who got into trouble. Not only is Su Che fine now, but he seems to be willing to go back with Murong Cheng willingly. Biting him out at this moment, saying that it was because of his seduction and instigation by Sikong Xu that he fled the county palace, how should he justify himself?

Sikong Xu's face was uncertain, and his mind was also rapidly calculating what kind of excuses he should use to lie, but he didn't expect Su Che to kneel down quietly after saying the above words. To bite him out.

While Sikong Xu heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

He looked at Ning Yuan with gloomy eyes, no need to think about how things have turned into this situation, the plan must have failed, and Su Che would be so obedient in begging for mercy in front of Murong Cheng, it is very likely that Ning Yuan will be inseparable relation.

He clenched his fists in his sleeves angrily.

"It turns out that Mr. Su is safe and sound. Oh, it was a false alarm. I said, with Brother Ning's personality, how could he do such a reckless thing!" Wan Ming really knew how to act, and his face became extremely fast. Just now, he was aggressive towards Ning Yuan, but now he put on another happy expression, and at the same time wiped the fine sweat from his forehead unnaturally.

Fortunately, Murong Cheng didn't pay attention to the changes between him and Sikong Xu, he just looked at Su Che and said, "Hmph, your fault, I will deal with it slowly after returning to the mansion." She clasped her fists together and said, "Since the person this king is looking for has been found, then I will leave His Highness Prince Xi alone and take my leave."

"Before the king leaves, don't forget to deal with one thing." Sikong Xuan also cupped his fists in return, but turned his eyes to the servant who had been testifying repeatedly before, "This person is full of nonsense and slanders Lord Ning. I am a foreigner. People are not easy to deal with, and you have to ask the county king to uphold justice."

"It's easy to handle." Murong Cheng didn't even think about it, he pointed at the servant and said, "Immediately send this person to the yamen, torture him severely, he dared to slander Da Zhou's envoy, he is quite courageous, maybe he was instigated by others , must let him spit out something real!"

"Yes!" Several soldiers took their names, and immediately dragged the servant who was already frightened and softened away.

Now that this matter is over, Murong Cheng stopped talking and turned back to the carriage, while Su Che obediently followed behind, but before getting into the carriage, he turned his head to look at Ning Yuan with thoughtful eyes. The corner of his mouth pursed, and his figure disappeared behind the curtain of the car.

"The little one has other things to do, so I won't go with His Royal Highness, but I will send you off respectfully." Sikong Xu didn't follow him, he just saluted on the spot, and Wan Ming followed suit immediately, and he didn't leave either. Thoughts, Murong Cheng in the carriage didn't make a sound, he didn't seem to care whether the two of them would stay or not. Amidst a burst of rumble, the carriage was escorted by those cavalry again towards the way it had come.

Although Sikong Xu stayed behind, Sikong Xuan and Ning Yuan obviously had no intention of chatting with him, they turned around and went back to the post house cleanly. , become clean.

"It's a pity that Ning Yuan didn't suffer through the county king's hand." Seeing that everyone was gone, Wan Ming shook his head and sighed: "If it wasn't for this person, how could Qiao Miao, the leader of my Wan School, do it?" Following the death of Princess Jinyu in a foreign land, Qiao Miao and I are as close as brothers, so it's a pity that I couldn't avenge him."

Sikong Xu didn't speak, but looked at the gate of the post house with flickering eyes.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Wan Ming seemed to remember something, and said nervously: "The servant who was sent to the yamen doesn't know anything. I saw that the county king seemed very angry before. If someone confessed you and me, wouldn't it be..."

"He can't confess." Sikong Xu interrupted him, "I've already paid attention to it, the servant will never know that the two of us instigated this matter."

"In this way, I feel relieved." Wan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry?" Sikong Xu raised his eyebrows, but said nothing, "Forget it, this trip is for nothing, I have to go back to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, Master Wan, please do what you want."

After speaking, he left alone without looking back.

Wan Ming looked at his back, but curled his lips, and whispered in an extremely disdainful tone: "A male favorite, who really takes himself seriously, even gave him some face and even called me a brother, it's really disgusting. After finishing speaking, he brushed off his sleeves in disgust, then turned and walked in the other direction.
