At dusk, in the back hall of the Wang family's mansion.
There are several plates of dishes on the dining table, which are not exquisite, but are rich and can only be eaten by Wang Shou'en alone. Even if he starves to death on the road, for a person like Wang Shou'en, the cost of food and clothing has never been reduced.
, but enjoy the rich wine and meat, nothing more than this.
While moving his chopsticks, he listened to the steward's report. His eyes kept shining as he described the "lively" scene in front of the government office.
"Under the persuasion of the high judge, the petitioners have dispersed," the steward reported in a low voice.
"It's reasonable for Gao Fang to take action!" After chewing a few mouthfuls of meat, Wang Shou'en nodded and said with a beaming smile: "I was comforted by him today. I'll see how he responds tomorrow to settle this matter!"
Seeing Wang Shou'en's villainous expression of gloating over misfortune, the manager hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but said: "Master, I really don't understand, what is the purpose of doing this? How can those gangsters and common people do anything to the government?"
The persecution has angered His Royal Highness, and I am afraid that my life will be in danger. You are instigating the plan behind the scenes. If you are discovered, I am afraid that disaster is not far away..."
"Nonsense!" After hearing this, Wang Shou'en immediately scolded: "The reason why I did this is because I care about the plight of the officials and people in the city and their helplessness, and I am asking for help for the people. In the past, when natural disasters occurred, the imperial court ordered the government to provide relief. This time
, they just want their own belongings back, shouldn’t they?”
Wang Shou'en looked "upright" and spoke in a high-sounding way, but the steward was also an old man who had been with him for many years, and he knew his master's habits very well. He wanted to give advice again, but heard Wang Shou'en forcefully order: "Inform our people tomorrow.
Go to the government office again and ask for help. Let them rest assured that everything will be fine today and there will be no danger tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Wang Shou'en was stubbornly seeking death, the old servant knew that he could not be persuaded, so he could only sigh helplessly.
On Wang Shouen's side, he looked proud and thought to himself: "Most of the money in the treasury is used to reward the army. I want to see how he will respond to this fierce public opinion!"
"If you can't help it, use troops to suppress it and kill a few more people, it will be more interesting. The military discipline is strict, Qiu does not commit any crimes, so much wealth, why not take it for yourself and use it to win people's hearts. Hum...
..."
"As for me, what can you do to me?" Wang Shou'en murmured a little arrogantly, stroking his beard and continuing with his dinner.
Facts have proved that the flag cannot be set randomly. Before Wang Shouen finished his meal, he was interrupted by a group of uninvited guests. Dozens of tough and strong men broke into the palace like bandits and quickly took control of the entire palace.
, all wearing ordinary linen clothes, but they were obviously a group of soldiers.
"Xiang Xun!" Looking at Xiang Xun walking into the hall, Wang Shou'en said angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to lead people into my mansion!"
Xiang Xun walked to Wang Shou'en in a very graceful manner. With slow movements, he glanced at most of the dishes left on the food table and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Wang Xunjian ate so well. Your Highness eats so much every day."
It’s a simple meal, but it’s not as good as yours!”
"What do you want to do?" Wang Shouen asked coldly with a sullen face, glancing at the soldiers in uniform who were following Xiang Xun and guarding the front of the hall.
He looked calm, but his rapid breathing betrayed his nervousness.
"What do you think?" Xiang Xun looked at Wang Shou'en and asked.
A little afraid to look directly into Xiang Xun's eyes, Wang Shou'en turned away with a guilty conscience: "How do I know?"
"Hey..." Xiang Xun sighed and asked with a puzzled face: "I am really curious in my humble heart. Why is Inspector Wang making trouble and doing such sneaky things secretly? If he provokes the officials and the people, if he goes to the party
If there is chaos and people's hearts are separated, what good will it do to you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" The corner of his mouth twitched, and Wang Shou'en brushed his sleeves and snorted coldly to cover up the anxiety in his heart.
"Forget it! Inspector Wang doesn't want to say it, and I don't insist on being humble." Xiang Xun didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it, and said calmly: "By the way, I'm here to take your life!"
"How dare you!" Wang Shouen laughed after hearing this.
"Do you think you dare to take a humble position?" Xiang Xun laughed along with him.
Seeing that Xiang Xun seemed to be coming for real, a trace of panic flashed across Wang Shou'en's face: "Your Highness will not agree!"
"Why do you think someone in a humble position dares to visit like this?" Xiang Xun asked quietly.
"Impossible! I am the hero of Luzhou's righteousness. He dare not kill me. If he kills me, how will he face the world's verbal and written criticism?" Wang Shou'en suddenly became wise and exclaimed.
"Inspector Wang seems to take himself too seriously..."
Seeing that Xiang Xun's tone was already a little impatient, Wang Shou'en suddenly said loudly: "My father is the King of Han!"
The voice echoed in the hall for a while, but Xiang Xun was silent for a moment, and then laughed disdainfully: "Wang Xunjian, it's not just because of his family background that he dares to act so wantonly and without any scruples...
..”
"Let me remind you, King Han has been dead for many years. Moreover, today's emperor's surname is Liu!"
After saying that, Xiang Xun was no longer interested in talking nonsense with him, and waved to his subordinates: "Let's do it, and send the inspection king on his way as soon as possible!"
After receiving the order, two subordinates immediately stepped forward and held Wang Shouen on his back.
Seeing this posture, Wang Shouen was completely panicked. He struggled hard and shouted: "What do you want to do? How dare you? I want to see His Highness! You can't do this! Spare your life..."
After crying and howling for several times, Wang Shou'en was in tears and his ugly appearance was revealed.
Feeling that he was noisy, Xiang Xun ordered Wang Shou'en to gag his mouth, then took out a wide and long piece of linen, and wrapped it around his head. With the moaning of "Woo" gradually becoming lower, Wang Shou'en slowly disappeared.
The sound was muffled to death.
After it was confirmed that he was dead, someone moved the body back to his room. Xiang Xun sat down at Wang Shouen's seat, picked up his chopsticks, asked someone to add a bowl of rice, and continued eating.
"I have never eaten such good food since I followed His Highness, so we can't waste it..."
...
"Your Highness."
Sitting upright behind the writing desk, Liu Chengyou held his sleeves in one hand and practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke. His handwriting was still ugly after practicing for a long time, and his hand hanging in the air was still a little trembling.
"Is everything done?" Liu Chengyou asked without raising his head.
"White flags have been hung up in the Wang's residence..." Xiang Xun replied: "General Guo has also taken action. He will never give those criminals who are plotting to cause chaos a chance to escape!"
"Yeah." Liu Chengyou responded.
"Those servants in the king's house?" He glanced up at Liu Chengyou and asked Xiang Xun in a low voice.
"What do you want?"
"After asking at my humble position, most of them were recruited after Wang Shou'en arrived in Luzhou," Xiang Xun explained.
"Then deal with that small group of people..." Hearing this, Liu Chengyou replied calmly.
"yes!"
"By the way, Gu and you will join the army to record affairs. By Gu's side, you will officially participate in military and political affairs..."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Xiang Xun left, Liu Chengyou picked up the paper on the desk, placed it on the candlelight, and burned all his ugly words.
