I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess Novel - Chapter 1497
1497 the difficult problem left for emperor sheng wen!(1!
Xiao Zhou did not say anything else. He looked at Xiao ran and waited for his instructions.
“Bring us there,” Xiao ran ordered.
“Please!” the head guard made an inviting gesture and led them into the stomach.
after a while.
when they arrived at the backyard, the divine sword guards were holding dan wudao and marquis wuli outside. their shoulder blades had been sealed. even if they wanted to struggle, they wouldn’t be able to do anything, let alone escape.
xiao ran and xiao zhou entered the room. in the bedroom, his family members were hugging his corpse and crying.
When he saw Xiao ran, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Xiao ran nodded and looked at King Pingyuan’s corpse. From the outside, it didn’t look like he had been poisoned or killed. On his chest, there were three relatively serious internal injuries that had already split open. This was the reason why his life had come to an end. In addition, he was already old, so everything made sense.
If not for today’s incident, he might have believed that King Pingyuan was dead.
However, he had just found the evidence and asked King Pingyuan who was behind the scenes, and he was already dead. No one would believe it, let alone him.
He looked at his family and asked coldly, ” “Did he say anything before he died?”
“No, I didn’t!”
“i’m giving you a chance by talking to you nicely. if you don’t know what’s good for you, you won’t be here anymore, you’ll be in the imperial prison. from now on, you won’t be able to see the sun.”
“lord marquis, there really isn’t any!”
he’s too naive. Does he think he can protect you like this? ” Xiao ran mocked.
he turned around and left.
the group of people looked at each other. they wanted to ask more but didn’t dare to. they communicated with each other through their eyes.
“brother xiao, are we just going to let it go like this?”
“Did you not hear what I said?”
little zhou smacked his head and realized that the king of pingyuan was involved in the case of the theft of the treasury of the ministry of revenue. now, there was a possibility of rebellion. whether he was dead or not, his family would suffer with him. with a wave of his hand, he immediately ordered,”take everyone away and lock them up in the imperial prison! if there’s any resistance, kill without mercy!”
The guards in the residence did not know what to do.
The divine sword guards had already rushed forward and killed them before they could throw down their weapons. The remaining people finally realized that they were no longer the servants of the royal family. They were now prisoners. They quickly threw down their weapons, put their hands on their heads, and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Resist?
It did not exist. Not to mention that these people were the fiendish divine sword guards, even if they were ordinary soldiers, they would not dare to do so.
if they really did that, not only would they die, but their families would also suffer.
very quickly.
everyone in the wang residence, including the servants, was arrested, not even a dog was spared. the gate was locked and sealed.
At this point, the royal house of Pingyuan was completely finished.
xiao ran escorted them to the imperial prison.
when he arrived at the vermilion bird avenue, he told little zhou to go there first and handed these people to zhang yu. then, he turned around and walked toward the divine sword guards. such a big thing had happened. if he moved again, it would involve the prince. he was afraid that emperor sheng wen would jump out when he made a move. after all, their relationship was very bad. no one could guarantee what would happen then.
Let Lei Yuantai enter the palace and leave the choice to him. If he chose not to do it, he would not ask about the subsequent matters. Even if there was a Prince rebelling, he would not ask and sit and watch them plot.
When the time was right, he would take over.
he did not want to take this step, provided that emperor sheng wen did not force him.
if he really wanted to do this, he had to make many preparations in secret. he had to rope in the army, officials, top experts, and so on.
it was the divine sword guards ‘turn.
The guards at the door saluted him respectfully when they saw him.
xiao ran went deep into the forest and stopped outside lei yuantai’s courtyard.
“go and report to swordmaster lei. just take it that i’m here.”
lei yuantai knew that he had come. with his cultivation, nothing that happened nearby could be hidden from him. a trusted aide quickly walked over and stopped in front of him,”Greetings, Lord Marquis!”
“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.
“the sword master wants you to go over!”
He entered the courtyard.
xiao ran entered the study. lei yuantai was sitting on a chair, reading a book. a pot of tea had already been brewed by the side. when he saw xiao ran coming, he put down the teapot, poured a cup, and placed it opposite him, indicating for xiao ran to sit down.
He walked over and Xiao ran sat beside him.
He held the teacup and pressed the lid a few times. The strong fragrance of tea came from inside. He had not drunk it, but the fragrance was already coming.
after taking a sip, the tea entered his mouth. it was fragrant and had an endless aftertaste, which only dissipated after a long time.
after finishing the cup of tea, he poured himself another cup. he was not in a hurry to drink it, but he smiled and teased, ” “You really know how to enjoy life.”
” at my level, it’s almost impossible for me to improve my cultivation. it’s the same for my power. i’m already at the top of the hierarchy, and there’s no way for me to rise further. unless i’m like you and find another shortcut and make contributions on the battlefield. but this road is very difficult. even if i want to fight and become a marquis, i’ll have to at least make a great contribution, or take down a province. ” Lei Yuantai said.
after a casual chat.
They entered the main topic.
Lei Yuantai’s face was serious as he said,”What’s the progress?”
Xiao ran briefly explained the situation.
After listening.
lei yuantai’s face was solemn and he didn’t rush to speak. he knocked his fingers on the table as if he was in deep thought. after a long time, he finally said, “What do you plan to do?”
“what do i plan to do? What is he planning to do?”
Lei Yuantai knew what Xiao ran meant, and he also knew about the conflict between them.
otherwise, with xiao ran’s previous contribution, such a great contribution was enough to be conferred the title of king. in the end, he was only conferred the title of ” marquis wushuang “, and this was because his contribution was too great and he couldn’t suppress it. otherwise, he wouldn’t even want to be conferred the title of marquis!
“i’m firmly on your side.”
He stood up from his chair and stretched his body. He sighed and said, ” I’m old and I wanted to enjoy my old age. I didn’t expect that I’d have to move around now.
“Don’t get involved, it’s not good for you.” Xiao ran shook his head.
“Even you aren’t afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?”
looking in the direction of the imperial palace, his gentle and easy-going temperament disappeared, and in its place was a sharp and unyielding aura. ” “wait for my good news!”
xiao ran also stood up from his chair, ” “You want me to go with you?”
“i’m afraid he’ll be suspicious if you go over. he’ll think that you’re deliberately setting a trap to catch them all in one fell swoop.”
“I’ll be waiting for your news.”
xiao ran didn’t insist. there were some things that didn’t need to be said too clearly, especially at their position. it would be meaningless if they said it too clearly.
he immediately left his courtyard and headed back to his own.
knowing that he was coming, shen yiming put down what he was doing and hurried over. after entering the courtyard and closing the door, xiao ran took out a pot of dutian zui and poured two cups. the two of them clinked their cups.
After finishing the wine in his cup, Shen Yiming asked impatiently, ” “how’s the situation?”
“the prince is involved.” Xiao ran did not hide anything and explained everything in detail.
Looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace, Shen Yiming’s eyes flickered, ” this is really a difficult problem for him.
He said.
he can only wake up for two hours a day. Even if we split up the time, there’s not much time left. We have to make a decision within a short time. I don’t know if this will anger him out of his mind.
xiao ran smiled. no matter what the decision was, he had to do it.
no matter what the result is, if you need me for anything, just let me know. As long as I get the news, I’ll immediately bring people over to help you.
“thanks!” Xiao ran raised his glass and clinked it with his. The two of them drank the wine in their glasses in one go.
“Which Prince do you suspect did this?” Shen Yiming asked again.
