A few days ago, the impression of Prince Xian by the powerful officials in the capital was that he was just a royal child who was waiting to die. He was far away in Xianzhou and had little interaction with them.
However, things are not what they used to be. Sparrows also have the opportunity to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. Today's Crown Prince Xian will be the crown prince in a few days. Although it is still early for him to become the emperor, there is nothing wrong with currying favor with him in advance.
Therefore, after he arrived in the capital, countless followers immediately gathered around him.
Several people noticed something strange about Prince Xian at the same time. A young man next to him looked at him and asked: "Prince, what's wrong?"
Prince Xian's face was gloomy. Not long ago, he was beaten by several passers-by, which was the biggest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life. However, a huge piece of good news hit his head, making him almost forget about it.
Unexpectedly, I saw them again in Kyoto today.
Prince Xian took two steps in that direction almost subconsciously, and then stopped suddenly.
Although he is new here and has little influence in Kyoto, with his current status, it is not difficult to embarrass a few passers-by.
As long as he reveals a little bit of meaning, people will rush to do it for him.
However, he still hesitated. Although he defeated those opponents, there were still countless pairs of eyes on him throughout Kyoto.
As long as he makes the slightest mistake, those people will never miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.
This is a sensitive period, and it would be best for him to keep a low profile until the matter is completely settled.
So he suppressed the hatred in his heart, shook his head and smiled at a few people, "It's nothing..."
At this moment, Tangning also learned the identity of the young man from the passers-by.
These people went out and mobilized troops in such a way that the people had already started talking about it.
Tang Ning did not expect that the young man who had a conflict with them in Xianzhou was actually Prince Xian, the crown prince selected by the Chu court.
The dignified prince of a country turned out to be just like a gangster. This is also a characteristic of the Chu royal family.
The Kingdom of Chu established a crown prince early. Those royal children knew that they had no hope of becoming a prince, so they might as well live a happy life as a carefree dandy.
What surprised Tang Ning was that Prince Xian also recognized them. He had originally planned to come over to find trouble, but for some reason, he stopped in his tracks.
This caused a plan that had just emerged in his mind to be shelved in an instant.
So he looked at Prince Xian again, and when he found that he was also looking at him, he slowly raised his hand and gave him a middle finger.
Prince Xian was about to leave when he suddenly saw Tangning's actions. Although he didn't understand the meaning of the actions, judging from his expression, it definitely didn't have a good meaning.
Unexpectedly, he was going to hold back, but the other party was still so arrogant. His face turned completely gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were fixed on Tangning.
The young man next to him looked forward. When he looked back, he looked at him in surprise and asked, "The prince has a grudge against that person?"
Prince Xian nodded and said: "This person is extremely arrogant. I have had a grudge with him before. Is there any way to make him suffer?"
These people in the capital had long wanted Prince Xian to owe them a favor, but they had no way. The young man looked at Prince Xian, secretly happy in his heart, nodded, and said: "Don't worry, Prince, I will take care of this matter."
It’s on me.”
Tang Ning saw that those people did not continue to move forward, but instead entered a teahouse. She glanced here from time to time, knowing that his provocation just now worked, and a smile appeared on her face.
If it were anyone else, he really wouldn't be so boring, but everyone knows that Prince Xian is the crown prince appointed by the imperial court. From the past few days, his actions have represented the imperial court of Chu.
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at Tang Ning. Seeing his strange expression, he suddenly asked, "Brother, what bad idea are you thinking of again?"
"How to talk..." Tangning tapped her forehead, sat down on the street, and said, "We will wait here for my mother-in-law to come back."
Tang Ning did not wait for her mother-in-law to sell noodles, but instead waited for a team of government servants.
Fifty government officials with knives surrounded them. The leading police officer looked at them and loudly said: "I suspect that you are related to a murder case. Come with us to the Criminal Department."
Tangning stood up, smiled at him, and said, "Let's go."
The detective's body trembled, and he was stunned for a moment.
He just followed the young master's instructions, made up a random crime, and brought these people to the Ministry of Punishment. What happened after that had nothing to do with him.
What kind of place is the Punishment Department? It is a hell that scares countless people. But when the person in front of him heard that he was going to the Punishment Department, not only did he not panic or be afraid, he even smiled at him. Although the smile was kind, it was in his eyes.
, but a little shuddering...
For a moment, he felt a little uncertain. He originally planned to put the shackles on them first, but now he was a little hesitant.
At this time, Tang Ning looked at him again and asked, "How do you get to the Criminal Department? Lead the way..."
This policeman has also arrested many dignitaries and officials. Even those in high positions were panicked and crying for their fathers before going to the Criminal Department.
He has never met such a calm and calm person, as if he was just visiting the Ministry of Justice.
There was even an illusion that this person seemed to be waiting for them to appear...
This made him even more unsure. He glanced at several of his subordinates and whispered: "Go back to the Yamen..."
Watching the officials from the Ministry of Punishment leading Tang Ning and the others away, in the teahouse not far away, the young man looked at Crown Prince Xian and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Ministry of Punishment?"
The Crown Prince stood up, with a smile on his face, and said, "If nothing happens, let's go and take a look."
The Xingbu Yamen is not far from the noodle stall, otherwise these government officials would not have arrived so quickly.
Tang Ning was taken to the Penal Department Yamen. She looked around and found that the regulations here were similar to those of the Chen Guo Penal Department Yamen.
When the police officer saw that he had arrived at the Criminal Department, the man was still not panicked. Instead, he had the intention to look left and right, his heart pounding. At this time, when he saw a person walking out of the Yamen, his expression straightened and he immediately
He bowed and said, "I have met Master Shangshu..."
The Minister of Punishment was about to enter the palace to report something, but he just waved his hand and was about to leave.
He is one of the few people who knows that the leader of the Xiaowan Kingdom is in Kyoto. After unifying the Western Regions, Xiaowan is already on par with the Chu Kingdom in terms of national structure. Imagine what the Chu Kingdom will do if Emperor Chen comes to the Chu Kingdom.
This is how the leader of Xiaowan Kingdom should be treated.
Once the leader of the Xiaowan Kingdom makes any mistakes in the Chu Kingdom, the face of the entire Chu Kingdom will be lost, and no one can bear this responsibility.
But the monarch's temperament was obviously a bit strange. He refused to stay at Honglu Temple and just lived in an ordinary inn. His Majesty even ignored this, which was really inappropriate.
Even if the leader of Xiaowan Kingdom insists, they should make some arrangements around the inn to avoid something unpleasant happening to him.
He came to the palace this time to suggest this matter.
He was about to leave the Criminal Department when he suddenly stopped and looked at a figure in the crowd. After a moment of confusion, he immediately walked over quickly, bowed and said: "The Lord of the Kingdom has arrived, and I am not far away to greet him...
"
When the head catcher saw Lord Shangshu groveling in front of this man, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face instantly turned pale.
After the Minister of Punishment saluted, he looked at Tang Ning in surprise and asked, "The Lord of the Kingdom came to the Punishment Ministry, but what's the matter?"
Tangning smiled, looked at the government officials, and said, "I'll have to ask them now..."
Plop...
After several muffled sounds, several government officials had collapsed on the ground. Although the remaining people could barely stand, their legs were trembling and their faces were frighteningly pale.
The face of the Minister of Justice changed, he looked at Tang Ning and murmured: "This..."
Tang Ning looked at the Minister of Punishment, his face darkened, and said: "I also want to ask, how come we have become suspects in a murder case after being in Kyoto for only a few days? If your Chu country doesn't give an explanation to its leader, I will
