"Your Majesty..." The housekeeper walked in quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, should we have sent away the people we captured earlier? In this situation, there is no use staying in the mansion..."
"Okay, I am worried about this. By the way, in order to deceive others, I will pick out one or two of those people, break his legs, and explain to the outside world, give them a good sum of money, and don't let them
Tell the truth, otherwise it will not just be a matter of losing the crown princeship."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The butler turned around and walked out of the hall, walked to the backyard, and waved.
The group of bandits who were robbing everyone came over immediately: "How about housekeeping? What does the prince say? We are pretending to be evil people this time, and the neighbors will definitely guard us like thieves. The prince will also give us something."
Money, so that we can live somewhere else?"
"Don't worry, the prince has a lot of money, but one of you must have his leg broken, otherwise the outside world will say that the prince is harboring you. You can choose that person yourself, I don't care about this."
All the gangsters looked at each other. Suddenly, a burly guy kicked an older one!
"Oops..." With a scream, the older gangster immediately fell to the ground in pain, screaming again and again.
The steward threw a large bag of silver on the ground and said: "You are all brothers anyway, so just share the money with each other. It will be enough for you to live and work in peace and contentment elsewhere. Except for the lame man, you should leave the capital at night to avoid trouble.
Do you understand?"
The gangsters got the money and said with joy from ear to ear: "It's clear, housekeeper, don't worry, we will leave now and never set foot in the capital again."
"Wait a minute!" The steward suddenly said coldly: "You should know the strength of Prince Ao's Mansion. If anyone dares to leak the matter even a sentence, or let us find out that you appear in the capital again, you yourself know the consequences.
.”
The leader of the gangsters said with a smile: "Haha, don't worry, even if you give us courage in the big water tank, we won't dare to come back again. Brothers, let's go!"
The housekeeper blocked the way: "Go through the back door."
"Oh, yes, yes, hehe, come through the back door, come through the back door, brothers."
The gang leader led a group of his men and quickly left through the back door of Prince Ao's Mansion, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Duoduo and Nangong Jie were crouching on the wall of Prince Ao's Mansion, and happened to see everything going on in the courtyard. After watching the gangsters walk out of the back door, they suddenly took out the black cloth and covered their faces and said: "That damn housekeeper, look at it.
He is not pleasing to the eye. Nangong Ao captured my son before, and I think it was probably his idea. You wait here for me, and I will beat him up!"
As Duoduo spoke, he suddenly jumped up from the wall and landed in front of the housekeeper.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" The housekeeper suddenly found a masked man in front of him and asked in a panic.
"I am your grandma, kowtow to grandma!" Duoduo said, kicking out and hitting the calf bone of the housekeeper of Prince Ao's Mansion. The housekeeper couldn't stand and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Here, there's an assassin!" the housekeeper yelled.
"Scream, scream louder!" Duoduo said, opening his bow from left to right, hitting the butler's face violently, and the sound of thunder could not be heard.
"Come quickly, there's an assassin!" The housekeeper was beaten so dizzy that he didn't forget to shout for help.
"Quick, there's an assassin!" Four or five Jianghu disciples rushed out from inside, one of them shouted, and a grappler grabbed Duoduo's shoulder.
"I'm hiding!" Duoduo suddenly ducked and kicked out at the same time!
"Oops..." Although the servant's skills were much better than those of the servants in Prince Ao's palace, compared with Duoduo, he was really not even inferior. After being kicked, he flipped two meters away.
Several stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Pa..." came another sound. Before leaving, Duoduo slapped the housekeeper hard on the face, then rolled over and jumped out of the wall.
"Run away, idiot!" Duoduo looked back, but suddenly found that her man was no longer there.
Where did he go?
Duoduo was in a hurry when he saw someone waving in front of him: "What are you still doing, wife? Run!"
After all the diners from the Prince Ao Mansion came out, the assassin had long since disappeared without a trace.
After looking behind him and seeing no one chasing him, Nangong Jie said in confusion:
"Honey, when did you become so reckless? It was really dangerous just now. If those capable diners came out first, you wouldn't be able to get away. There are plenty of opportunities to teach the butler a lesson, why did you do it right away?
How about rushing in and beating him?"
"Sweat..." Duoduo raised his hand, shook a small sign in his hand and said: "Your wife and I are very smart, how can a stupid guy like you see my intentions? Do you really think that I am pure
Are you just trying to vent your anger?"
"Oh, wife, what should we do next?"
"Chasing it, you haven't even figured out my intention yet, have you?"
Nangong Jie smiled and said, "How could you not understand? I'm used to relying on you."
"It depends on your size, but you have the nerve to say it, but you are a man, hurry up and chase me!"
After coming out of Prince Ao's Mansion, the gangsters had money in their hands, and one or two of them began to lose control of themselves.
"Brother, the brothers have been hungry for so long. How about you take the brothers to Meichun Building, eat meat and then leave?"
"Having sex? You don't want to live anymore? If the people from Prince Ao's palace find out, they will directly kill us. We won't even be alive by then. It depends on whether you are still charming or not!"
"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. Brother, why are you trying to turn over a new leaf?" the gangster said with a depressed look on his face.
The leader of the gangsters said: "Don't talk nonsense. If you want to eat meat or women, you have to leave the capital first. There is wine, meat and women in other places. Don't worry. If you are upset, you can solve it yourself. Who knows?
If you dare to leave the team without authorization, I will kill him with one knife!"
"Hmph, you are just a bunch of people who just want to have fun by drinking, eating, and playing with women, right? Today I will send you to the West so that you can reach bliss as soon as possible!"
Two black figures with their faces covered, holding long knives at an angle, blocked the way of the gangsters.
"Brother, there is someone!"
"Nonsense, I'm not blind!" When the gangster leader saw that there were only two of them, he immediately became bolder, rolled up his sleeves and said, "What do you two boys want to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense, stop passing by and leave some money to buy the way!"
The bandit leader laughed loudly and said: "Oh, I think you two really don't know how high the sky is. I tell you, I am the real king of the mountain! Brothers, come on!"
"Kill..."
A group of gangsters swarmed up and surrounded the two masked men.
"Hmph, they are all just wine and rice bags. Let me show you what I am capable of!"
After Duoduo finished speaking, the weapon in his hand suddenly struck out diagonally!
"Huh...dang!" With a sound, the steel knife held by the gangster leader was knocked down by someone before he could react.
Nangong Jie also quickly joined the battle group, rushing left and right, and within a few blows, he knocked everyone to the ground.
Seeing that something was wrong, the bandit leader turned around and ran away!
"Where to run!" Duoduo and Nangong Jie chased after them closely.
Unfortunately, we chased him for a while, and when we reached a corner, we lost sight of the leader.
Duoduo said: "What should we do? The boy ran away, how can we go back and explain to the prince?"
Nangong Jie pretended to be helpless and said: "There is nothing you can do, go back. Anyway, we have arranged manpower in neighboring counties. They can't escape our Wuzhishan no matter what. Those boys know how to drink, eat and play with women all day long.
, Your Majesty is right, if they are allowed to stay in this world, sooner or later the matter will be revealed."
Duoduo said: "Well, in that case, let's go back quickly. There are other things waiting for us to do. Kill those bastards and leave it to the other brothers."
After the two of them finished speaking, they left quickly.
And at this moment, a man stood up from the grass at the corner, it was the boss of the gang!
"Brother...it turns out you are here. That's great. We thought you were -"
"Humph, stop talking!" the gangster boss said fiercely: "I have long thought that Nangong Ao is not a good person, and there is no way he would be so generous and give us so much money. He is so shady. He said to let us go
Let’s go, and at the same time, we sent people to chase us, trying to kill and silence us!”
"What? Brother, those two people just now are from Prince Ao's Mansion? It's impossible, right? Could it be that someone deliberately framed Prince Ao's Mansion?"
"Brother, look!" A younger brother suddenly found a token falling on the ground.
The gangster brother picked it up and looked at it, and said harshly: "It's a disciple of Prince Ao's palace. It turns out he really wants our lives!"
"Oops, brother, what should we do? If it is Nangong Ao who really wants to kill us, we will be found no matter where we escape!"
"That's right!" the gangster boss said harshly: "Since it's a dead end, we won't let him have an easy time!"
After several days of pondering, the topic of who to choose among the people has begun to fade away. It is not because the two princes have not made any more moves to steal the limelight, but because everyone has already decided on the final candidate in their hearts.
That is Nangong Jie.
Since it was already acquiesced and there was no suspense at all, everyone didn't talk about it anymore.
The day of voting finally arrived. After a whole day of collecting votes, in order to show the democracy of this time, the emperor built a high platform outside the palace to announce the voting results to the outside world.
The emperor, on the other hand, was sitting high on the high platform, and the high officials of the court were sitting on both sides, waiting for the votes to be cast and the new crown prince to be announced.
The high platform has been completely surrounded by the crowd. Everyone is waiting for the emperor to personally declare King Jie as the crown prince of the dynasty, waiting for the exciting moment to come.
Several hours have passed, and the person responsible for counting the votes still has not appeared.
And just when the emperor was about to get angry, he came. He trotted over with all the data, walked up to the high platform, knelt in front of the emperor, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor,
In this prince election, the second prince, Nangong Ao, is slightly better!"
"What? Impossible!" Nangong Jie couldn't believe his ears. He pointed at the master of Futai and said: "You lied, how can you be sure that he will win? Impossible!"
Master Futai panicked for a while, lowered his head and said: "Prince Jie, it is indeed true. Falsifying the data is a crime of deceiving the emperor. How can a subordinate dare to make a mistake? Please give me a clear warning from King Jie and a clear warning from your Majesty."
"That's bullshit. He lied. We all chose the fifth prince!" The people in the audience were all forced to become angry for a moment.
Duoduo mingled among the crowd in the audience and clenched her fists in anger. Even if she beat him to death, she wouldn't believe that Nangong Ao would get more votes than Nangong Jie.
That damn Nangong Ao, it’s still a question of whether he can be chosen, let alone win? He must have bribed that person to work together!
Grandma's legs, that Mrs. Futai is so ignorant that she actually regards her existence as transparent. If she had known about it, she would have caught her in the woods and raped her, so she wouldn't have survived!
Nangong Jie was even more nervous than Duoduo. The crown prince's throne was about to be obtained, but it was snatched away by others in a domineering manner.
What he values is not the glittering golden light of the throne, but if he fails to become the prince, his beloved wife will really have to follow him to the northern Xinjiang to suffer... As the voices of opposition from the audience grew louder, the emperor also began to have some doubts
He asked in a deep voice: "Master Futai, I ask you again, are the statistics on the bills true and valid?"
"This... Your Majesty..." The beads of sweat on Mr. Futai's forehead kept falling, and he seemed to see his own grave slowly approaching him.
The emperor said again: "Master Futai, you have to think carefully about my problem. If I find out that there is false behavior, I will punish you from the nine tribes!"
"Ah!" Mr. Futai trembled all over, gritted his teeth and said, "Return to... Your Majesty, everything I said today is true. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"
"Prince Ao, Prince Ao, Prince Ao, Prince Ao, Prince Ao, Prince..." Suddenly a group of people in the crowd cheered loudly. Duoduo was deeply touched. That Nangong Ao still had some tricks up his sleeve... despite his objections
The voice of the vote was much stronger than that of the supporters, but the results of the votes were before our eyes, and the emperor had to say: "My dear friends, and my subjects, the results of the votes have now been obtained, and you have nothing to say.
Today, the winner of the vote is my Tainan of the Southern Dynasty -"
"Wait-wait, Nangong Ao is not qualified to be the prince!"
In response to a burst of shouting, a dozen people rushed out from the crowd, suddenly knelt down under the high platform, raised their hands to the sky, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, the common people have something to report, Nangong Ao is not qualified to be the prince!"
When Nangong Ao looked at those people, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and shouted angrily: "Okay, you hateful bandits have finally surrendered. Come and catch them."
stand up!"
"Wait!" the emperor asked: "Who are these people? What is going on?"
Nangong Ao said: "Father, these are the gangsters who have been robbing people's money and doing all kinds of evil. I originally asked the children to arrest them, but I didn't expect that they escaped last night."
"Oh? Since they have already escaped, why do they want to surrender again?"
The emperor's rhetorical question made Nangong Ao's face change drastically. He didn't know how to answer: "This... I don't know."
"Fart, don't you know? If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself, Nangong Ao, you are so cruel!"
"Don't be impatient. I'm here today. If you have any grievances, feel free to tell me." Nangong Ming said unhurriedly but in a domineering tone.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, we all know that we were wrong, everything is his fault!" The leader of the group pointed at Nangong Ao and said: "He sent the butler to find us, and asked us to pretend to be gangsters and commit murder and plunder, and then
He pretends to come out to eliminate evil and pretend to uphold justice and protect the people, but in fact, everything is his arrangement!"
"Ah? How could this happen? The second prince did so without consideration. Alas..."
"Hmph, since this Nangong Ao dares to use poisonous porridge to harm us, it is only natural for him to find a few people to fool everyone. I think it is definitely possible."
People in the audience began to talk about it, and the scene suddenly reached a boiling point!
Nangong Ao said angrily: "Ao'er, is this possible?"
"Father, please don't listen to the malicious slander of those gangsters. They took revenge on the child because the child hurt one of their people. Father, please don't be fooled!"
The leader of the group said loudly: "Hmph, Nangong Ao, stop pretending. What else can't a person like you do? Your Majesty, I think today's voting results are definitely not true and fair. It must be
After being threatened by Nangong Ao, the Futai master made fake data to save his life..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Nangong Ao stood up and roared at the gangsters, turned around and knelt at the feet of Nangong Ming: "Father, please don't believe the nonsense of these robbers. I dare to swear to God, if I have
If you have done those things, you will be struck by lightning, and you will not die a good death!"
Many ministers also discussed it one after another, and the vast majority of them stood on Nangong Ao's side, urging the emperor not to believe the one-sided words of the robbers.
When the robbers saw that many high officials in the court said that they were talking nonsense, they argued vehemently: "Your Majesty, everything the common people say is true."
Duoduo and Nangong Jie both looked at the excitement, and the stone that was weighing on their hearts finally fell away for the time being.
With those gangsters doing this, the crown prince's position will definitely not be implemented today. As long as time goes by, any opportunity may happen.
"Hmph! You gang of robbers are so brave. I don't care whether what you say is true or not, but the crimes you have committed are unforgivable. Come on, pull them out and kill them!"
The gangsters were horrified: "Your Majesty, please spare your life. Your Majesty, everything we did was done according to Nangong Ao's arrangement. Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
Nangong Ming said angrily: "Where are the people? I told you to pull them out and kill them. What, do you want to disobey me?"
A row of guards were so frightened that they quickly walked over, escorted the gangsters, forced them out of the crowd, and beheaded them.
When Nangong Ao saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the emperor glared at him with disgust and said to the people in the audience: "Everyone, you are all my subjects. Naturally, I cannot ignore everyone's wishes. I will have people investigate thoroughly whether the votes are true.
Therefore, the appointment of the crown prince will be postponed for a few days. Let’s stop here today, everyone, please!”
After Nangong Ming finished speaking, he ordered: "Where is the Prime Minister?"
The Prime Minister of the Southern Dynasty quickly stood up and said: "I am here!"
