When Wu Zhongxian was thinking about who to kill next.
at the same time.
In the capital, in the palace of Prince Zhou Ping!
King Ping of Zhou was the most powerful prince among the princes in the capital.
Other princes basically did not participate in politics.
Only King Ping of Zhou, although already in his mid-fifties, was still involved in politics.
Go to morning service often.
Moreover, he has real power in his hands.
Just now, King Zhou Ping, who held the real power, heard the news from the Ministry of Punishment.
His half-brother, King Zhou Xuan, who was the prince, was killed by His Majesty’s men!
For the first time, King Zhou Ping thought he had heard wrongly.
Because it was too unexpected.
"How can this be!"
King Ping of Zhou was shocked.
He heard nothing at court.
If you kill a prince, it stands to reason that there will definitely be news.
but no!
No news at all!
King Zhou Ping almost thought it was fake news.
It wasn't until an hour later that the people he sent came back.
"Your Majesty! Prince Xuan was indeed killed!"
"And Prince Xuan's Mansion has been sealed off by the Yulin Army! It is said that Prince Xuan embezzled a large amount of gold and silver!"
When King Zhou Ping heard the news, he frowned and looked solemn.
The little emperor actually dares to kill the prince?
As for the embezzlement of large amounts of gold and silver, it was just a reason to kill.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yang wants to see you."
At this time, the servant came to report.
King Ping of Zhou pondered for a moment and immediately asked his servants to welcome King Yang in.
After a while, a middle-aged man walked in.
His face was gloomy.
Open your mouth as soon as you enter.
"Second brother! Do you already know about King Xuan!?"
"Um."
King Zhou Ping nodded cautiously.
The King of Zhou Yang in front of him is the younger brother of King Zhou Ping, so he has the deepest blood relationship.
And like King Xuan of Zhou, he is a half-brother.
The other princes are also of the same father and mother.
The emperor's harem had many beauties, and naturally there were many princes and princesses.
"It seems that the little emperor has already taken action against us!" King Zhou Yang looked gloomy.
Although the smart prince was well prepared, he never expected that the emperor would strike so quickly and so cruelly.
King Zhou Ping thought for a long time and then slowly said: "Inform our people here to write the reference book tonight and go to court tomorrow. Let's take a copy of the reference book together with the little emperor!"
"Okay! Brother, I'll do it right away!"
Just as King Zhou Yang was about to leave, he heard King Zhou Ping say: "By the way, I'd like to ask someone to invite Wu Zhongxian to the house for a chat."
King Zhou Yang nodded in agreement, turned around and left to do some work.
"My dear nephew, it seems that you still haven't been able to calm down after all."
King Ping of Zhou picked up the tea cup and murmured. He seemed confident.
………
Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Sir, this is the martial arts secret book we found from Prince Jing's Mansion!"
The old man Long Wei lowered his head and handed over several martial arts secret books.
Wu Zhongxian nodded slightly, very satisfied with Long Wei's neat and tidy way of working.
Whatever they are told does not need to be told a second time, they can complete it meticulously and perfectly.
After taking the secret book and looking through it, Wu Zhongxian asked smoothly: "What's your name?"
"Long Wei has no name! Sir, you can just call me Long Shan!"
Long Wei has no name, no family, no friends, only a code name that belongs to him.
"Don't kill her! Please! Don't kill my child!"
A cry for mercy could be heard in the distance.
But then the sound disappeared.
This is a servant from Prince Jing's palace,
Wu Zhongxian is still cold and merciless.
He's like a movie villain!
This is already the second prince he has killed.
King Jing of Zhou.
He is also a prince who has little power, but is very rich and likes to enjoy himself.
In fact, there are no good officials in this era who are not greedy.
Even Wu Zhongxian himself was also addicted to power and wealth.
The crimes committed by these princes will not lead to the death penalty even if they are tried.
Greed is just a crime assigned to them.
There is no such thing as justice in the court.
Just the stance is different.
The prince stood on the opposite side of the emperor.
That is the enemy.
The enemy is about to die.
"These martial arts books are pretty good."
Wu Zhongxian looked through it for a while and put the things in his arms.
Long Wei lowered his head from beginning to end and said nothing.
But Wu Zhongxian knew that Long Wei would definitely tell Emperor Zhou Ren about his "corruption".
"By the way, I remember that Prince Jing had a very big luminous pearl." Wu Zhongxian said suddenly.
Longshan was stunned for a moment, then turned and left.
After a while, he came over holding a luminous pearl in both hands.
This luminous pearl is the size of a normal man's head.
You can faintly see it glowing even during the day!
It is said that this luminous pearl was a tribute from a small country in the Western Regions to the late emperor, who rewarded it to King Zhou Jing.
"It's good as a decoration."
Wu Zhongxian's palm gently scratched the smooth surface of the night pearl.
"Send it to my bedroom."
"yes!"
Longshan didn't say a word, and turned around to arrange for someone to send Ye Mingzhu to Wu Zhongxian's palace.
Since he wants to be greedy, Wu Zhongxian must be more greedy.
Emperor Zhou Ren now needs to do the dirty and tiring work for him, so he will definitely turn a blind eye to such trivial matters.
Wu Zhongxian embezzled money openly and openly because he also wanted to test Emperor Zhou Ren's bottom line.
At this moment, Wu Zhongxian heard footsteps ahead and looked up.
There was a woman and a little girl being chased by the Dragon Guard.
Long Wei showed no mercy. He raised his knife and killed the woman who was protecting the little girl with one blow.
Then he slashed the little girl with a knife.
The long knife covered in blood was raised and dropped suddenly.
The little girl was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly.
Ding!
Just hear a crisp sound.
The little girl felt no pain and opened her eyes tremblingly.
She saw that the long knife above her head that was about to kill her was broken in the middle.
Long Wei also had a hint of surprise on his face.
Then, a sound was heard.
"Go deal with the others."
Long Wei looked at the source of the sound.
Only then did we know which mysterious adult had taken action.
Long Wei was shocked!
Unexpectedly, this gentleman broke his long sword with just a flick of his finger!
This strength... is so strong!!
"yes!"
Long Wei didn't ask any questions and left with the broken knife.
Of course there are adult reasons for wanting to keep children alive.
No need to ask more.
At this time, the little girl was also looking at the person who had just saved her.
But when she looked at Wu Zhongxian, her eyes were full of tenacity and hatred.
The little girl looks six or seven years old.
She looks very delicate and cute.
She was wearing a gorgeous skirt that the servants couldn't afford. One look at her and she knew that the little girl's status in the palace was not simple.
But what makes Wu Zhongxian even more satisfied is her strong character.
He didn't cry or be afraid like other children.
Rather, there is hatred mixed with tenacity.
Even adults may not have such a mind.
"May I have your name?"
Wu Zhongxian came over, stood in front of the little girl, and looked into her determined eyes.
next moment,
The little girl suddenly stood up and rushed towards Wu Zhongxian, holding an exquisite dagger inlaid with gems in her hand!
