Chapter 72 Accident

As soon as the car arrived outside the royal palace, Cai Wei ran out of the car and disappeared in front of Liu Xia.

Liu Xia then got out of the car, but he reached out and touched his cheek. In addition to the lingering fragrance of Caiwei's fragrant lips, there were also five clear fingerprints.

"Who should I talk to? Obviously, he took advantage of me, but I was wrong.

In Liu Xia's heart, he thought of it angrily.

Liu Liansheng, who escorted him, naturally saw the five clear fingerprints. Just now, he also heard a scream in the car. As a person who has experienced it, he naturally understood.

So, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, what are we doing today?"

"Let's go back first."

Liu Xia shook her sleeves and went to the royal palace.

However, as soon as he entered the royal palace, he saw Zhang Zong waiting outside the gate, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little anxious.

"Zhang Zong, what's the matter?"

Liu Xia couldn't help but be stunned. With Zhang Zong's city government, such an expression must have been a big deal.

"Your Majesty, Tong Dawei is back."

Zhang Zong said in a low voice.

Tong Dawei is responsible for escorting the bodies of those criminals and enemies, as well as his injured brother.

After knowing that he had an accident, he calculated how it would take him two days to come back, but he came back alone.

Obviously, there is something found.

"Let's go."

Liu Xia instinctively felt that something big had happened.

When he came to the council chamber, he saw Tong Dawei sitting in a chair with a dusty face. At the same time, on the side of the hall, there was an old man in his sixties kneeling.

It seems that after the accident, Tong Dawei rushed back all the way. The old man he brought with him must be of great importance.

"See the prince."

"Get up, tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Xia asked.

"According to the prince's instructions, the little one took care of the injured brothers, escorted the suspects, and transported back the bodies of the army that assassinated us. Everything was fine, but I encountered an accident outside Wanhua Town, Weicheng. All the ships I escorted caught fire, and the fire was so strange that it could not be put out at all. Fortunately, the little spirit, with the injured brothers, abandoned the boat and escaped. Later, I thought that there were still living people on the ship besides us, so I hurried back. As a result, it was found that the dart master and the guy who escorted the silver had already been stunned. At that time, the situation was urgent. In order to save people, the little one grabbed one and escaped and was ready to come back to save others. As a result, as soon as he got into the water, the boat turned into ashes in an instant.

"At that time, my brothers and I count the number of people. Fortunately, there were no casualties among our people. It's just that a few brothers were blistered and the wounds worsened. I accidentally found that the guy who was being rescued was crying on the side. Later, after interrogation, it was found that this guy was actually from the Prince's Mansion. He himself explained that the money they escorted was sent to the southeastern garrison camp. At that time, I felt that the matter was serious, so I let my men guard the other brothers. I went straight to the post station and brought the old man back.

After Tong Dawei finished speaking in one breath, he looked very tired.

It usually takes three days to get here from the place where they had an accident. As a result, he quickly ran for a day and a night. He didn't eat except changing his mounts on the eighth floor all the way.

Liu Xia listened and nodded slightly.

The prince told him in person that this batch of silver was sent to the southeast garrison camp. As a result, it was just lost on the road and replaced with the dirty silver of the Onmyoji Association.

Just thinking about this, Liu Xia was suddenly shocked.

I just learned this morning that Prince Tai had received a secret order from the prince to destroy the evidence.

If there is no problem with this batch of silver, why did the prince destroy the evidence?

However, when Liu Xia saw the old man, she suddenly realized.

The prince wants to kill people.

It's true that the silver was lost, but there was also something wrong with the prince's silver.

Otherwise, he doesn't have to kill people at all to cover up anything.

"What's your name?"

Liu Xia asked lightly.

The old man has obviously seen the world. Although he doesn't know Liu Xia, he knows that at this moment, only Liu Xia can save his life.

"Who are you?"

"Bastard, this is our Prince Weiyuan. I was ordered to supervise the case of the Onmyoji Association.

Tong Dawei drank it.

"Ah! It turns out that Prince Weiyuan! That's good, that's good. Weichen is Wang Bangyao, the prime minister of Zhanshi Mansion. The prince, save me.

Wang Bangyao immediately kowtowed and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Fucheng is a sixth-grade official. In Longdu, there is Shuntian Mansion and Zhanshi Mansion.

The prime minister of Shuntianfu is an assistant to the daily official duties of the governor, which is equivalent to a secretary.

And the primer of Zhan's mansion is equivalent to the secretary of the prince's mansion.

Zhanshi is the largest official of the East Palace, responsible for assisting the prince in his daily affairs.

There are usually two people in Zhanshifu, who assist Zhanshi and Shao Zhanshi in handling Nissan affairs.

Although it's just a sixth grade, it's not very eye-catching in a place where emperors and nobles are everywhere like Longdu.

But it must be the prince's confidant.

I'm afraid that ordinary people can't know the secret in his hand.

Liu Xia couldn't help smiling and turned to Tong Dawei and said, "You are really lucky. As soon as I grabbed it, I caught a key one.

"There, it's the prince Hong Fu Qitian."

"No flattery. You are also tired. Go back and have a rest. I have something to explain to you in the afternoon.

Liu Xia said.

"Yes. Then the general will leave."

After saying that, Tong Dawei withdrew from the hall.

Liu Xia looked at Wang Bangyao in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

This man, the abandoned son of the prince, escorted this batch of silver to his fiefdom and then handed it over to the southeast garrison. Obviously, there were tricks in the middle.

After Liu Xia seized the batch of silver, she detained all the people who escorted the silver.

The prince was not afraid of losing the silver, but he was afraid that someone inside would talk nonsense. Therefore, he asked Prince Tai to destroy the body, that is, kill people.

"You all go out."

Liu Xia waved her hand and smiled.

Liu Liansheng and others withdrew from the hall.

After closing the people, Liu Xia raised her legs and smiled, "Lord Wang, you are a smart person. The prince wants to kill you. If you want to live, you'd better cooperate with me. Maybe you can still live."

Wang Bangyao was panicked at this moment. He didn't know why the prince wanted to kill him, but he never wanted to betray the prince.

However, the prince felt that only the mouth of the dead was the most reliable, so he wanted to kill him.

Wang Bangyao was disheartened at this moment. He knew in his heart that as long as he appeared, he would definitely die.

However, he has never had a relationship with Liu Xia, and he can't believe Liu Xia at this moment. In case he confessed that Liu Xia doesn't care about him, is he different from death?

After all, I have been in the officialdom of Longdu for a lifetime, and it's right to be careful.

"Prince Mingjian, the little one is just an ordinary Fucheng. He doesn't know much. The little one really doesn't know why the prince wants to kill me."

Wang Bangyao rubbed his eyes with tears and said pitifully.

"Lord Wang, there is no need to act. If you don't know anything, why did the prince kill you? I'm afraid that in the escort team, only you know the inside story, right? Unfortunately, in order to kill you, those people are unjustly dead. Well, if you like to talk nonsense, I'll give it to the prince, you, and continue to talk nonsense with him. I don't have time to play with you."

Speaking of this, Liu Xia got up.

Wang Bangyao hurriedly hugged Liu Xia's thigh and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it. What's the difference between Weichen returning to the prince's mansion and going to hell? For the sake of Weichen and his family, let's take my life.

"Around your life? I also want to walk around you. However, you know in your heart that I'm afraid that what you have done is also a major crime of raiding the family and destroying the family. Why don't you let me guess? It's true that the silver was transported to the prince's fief, and it was not true that it was handed over to the southeast garrison. Since you are so open and upright, why do you need to kill you? I want to say that the silver was indeed handed over to the southeast border garrison, but it was spent on the private army of the prince in the southeast border garrison army, right? Hide your own arm in the army, and there is indeed his. I admire it."

Liu Xia said with a faint smile.

When Wang Bangyao heard this, his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Obviously, Liu Xia guessed right.

Seeing that Wang Bangyao was speechless, Liu Xia smiled and said, "What? Did I guess right? Then you give it to the prince. The prince buys me a favor. I'm afraid he will look at me differently. If you are handed over to the emperor, the emperor will definitely reward me. And you, no matter where you go, it is doomed to kill the family. And I can still get a lot of benefits. What do you think, why should I leave you by my side?

When Wang Bangyao heard this, he hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me." As long as the prince is willing to save my life, I am willing to explain everything.

Hearing this, Liu Xia sat back in the chair and said, "Wang Bangyao, are you really confused or old? It's not too much for you to die ten thousand times. To tell you the truth, you will definitely die. I will protect you, and the emperor will not protect you.

Wang Bangyao collapsed on the ground like frosted eggplant.

"However, if you are willing to cooperate with me. I can keep your family safe. Compared with copying the family and destroying the family, I will give you a sting of incense to consider.

After Liu Xia finished speaking, she leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes to refresh herself.

Liu Bangyao sat on the ground, thought for a long time, and finally sighed, "I'm willing to cooperate with the prince."

"That's all I can do for you. Then you can say the rest."

Liu Xia said lightly.

"As the prince said, that batch of silver is indeed to be given to the southeast garrison. The commander of the southeast garrison army is the confidant of the prince, named Zhang Yunrui. Commander Zhang has a close relationship with the prince. Weichen entered the prince's mansion to serve the prince, and the prince sent silver to Zhang Yunrui. Most of the sources of this silver come from the sacrifice of the family and the profits of the prince's mansion. The number is considerable. Every time Weichen goes to send money, he has two purposes. The first is to really send military pay, and the second is to supervise Zhang Yunrui to train this private army. At present, the number of private soldiers in this group is about 80,000, well-equipped and well-trained. With an order, you can set foot on the battlefield at any time.

After Liu Bangyao finished speaking, he was silent and bowed his head there, very depressed.

"Very good, the prince's recruitment of private troops is a great crime of deceiving the king. You know in your heart what the consequences will be once it comes out. So, do you know that the money you escorted has been lost?"

Liu Xia asked curiously.

"I didn't know it at first, but when the prince checked it, when I saw the silver, I knew that it had been transferred. It seems that someone wants to borrow the prince's hand to remove the prince. If the prince can't remove the prince, then he must borrow the prince's hand to get rid of the prince. This strategy can't be said to be ruthless.

Liu Bangyao said.
