Regarding Xiao Chen, Zhu Gaoxu wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
After hearing Li Qiye's suggestion, he nodded and agreed without thinking at all.
How did Xiao Chen gain power? He was an outsider after all. His father probably wouldn't punish him too harshly for him.
Even if he fails to seize the legitimate son, this bad breath must come out.
...
In the capital, Xiao Chen moved the recliner from Duan Tianming's room in the Thirteenth Army. Who knows when the emperor will let the prince out, and as long as the prince is in Dongchang Prison for a day, the three of him will have to stay in Dongchang Prison.
.
Lying on the recliner with his body relaxed, Xiao Chen held a wine bowl in his hand and took a leisurely sip.
In the past few days, the prince has been very cooperative. I don't know if it's because he doesn't feel hungry or something, but he no longer screams for food.
I drink tiger bone soup with cold water every day. After drinking it, I lie quietly on the bed and rest, waiting for the recovery of my leg injury.
The expansion project next to the prison is also proceeding in an orderly manner and is basically nearing completion.
"The Emperor is going to hold a grand military parade in March, and we still don't know where the specific location is. Do we in the East Factory have to go there in advance?" Duan Tianming, who was sitting on a stool nearby, put an iron rod through the fire and whispered.
said.
"Why, after staying in the prison for more than ten days, you can't stand the boredom anymore? I have been guarding the prison. You can finally understand how depressed I was all day." Du Shaoqin burst out laughing next to him.
Ignoring Du Shaoqin, Duan Tianming glanced at Xiao Chen, who was rocking leisurely on the recliner: "Xiao Chen, do you feel bored?"
"No." Xiao Chen opened his slightly closed eyes, "I feel pretty good. It's so comfortable to not have to worry or run around."
As he said that, he put the wine bowl down, shook his head left and right a few times, and stretched out comfortably.
"I still like the days when I was always running around outside. I'm almost getting moldy after staying in jail every day." Duan Tianming said to himself when he saw that no one supported his point of view.
"In the future, there will be days when you are running around. These days, just enjoy a moment of peace." Xiao Chen crossed his legs, shook his ankles leisurely, cupped his hands and put them under his head, hehe.
Smiling.
"I work so hard that I can't sit still." Duan Tianming laughed.
"Your life is not called hard work. You were born as a wild horse and are not used to being penned." Du Shaoqin looked at Duan Tianming with a smirk on his face and said unceremoniously.
While the three of them were laughing at each other, a school captain hurriedly ran in: "Brother Xiao, Mr. Li Anli, the Minister of Punishment, is here. Do you want to let him in?"
This stove room is now the "office location" of three powerful figures in Dongchang. Visitors must inform them in advance and obtain permission to enter.
"Li An, why is this guy here again? Go and let him in." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
It's not a short journey from the Ministry of Punishment. Li An just came here a few days ago, and he came here again today. What's the matter?
After a while, Li An walked into the stove room.
He was still dressed in civilian clothes, the tip of his nose was red from the cold, and his trouser legs and boots on his feet were covered with a thick layer of dust.
Xiao Chen sat up, looked at Li An's feet, and smiled incredulously: "Master Li, it's not like you don't have a sedan. Why are you running all the way here?"
"How did Brother Xiao know that I came trotting over?" Li An was stunned, rubbed his hands, walked to the stove unceremoniously, and nodded at Duan Tianming as a greeting.
"Look at those legs of yours. I'm sure you came here by taking a small road. What, did something happen to the Criminal Department?" Xiao Chen asked with concern.
"No." He stretched out his hands to warm the fire, but Li An hesitated.
"We are all our own people here, and if you say so, no one will laugh at you." Thinking that Li An wanted something from him, Xiao Chen laughed and handed over a stool next to him.
Taking the stool, Li An sat down and rubbed his face hard with his hot hands. After a while, he said: "It's already February, and the morning in Beijing is still so cold. Along the way, the wind is blowing
My face was almost frozen from the blow, and it was a little difficult to speak."
Smiling awkwardly, Li An added: "I came out today while Wang Anliang was out shopping, and I sneaked out. I took a detour."
Hearing what Li An said, Xiao Chen's face became serious: "Did something happen? The King of Han wants to take action against you?"
Li An took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it to Xiao Chen: "Look, what is this?"
Taking the paper bag, Xiao Chen put it in front of his nose and smelled it: "There is no smell, could it be poison?"
Li An nodded: "It is poison, and it is a colorless and odorless chronic poison."
Xiao Chen frowned: "Are they going to use it on you? That's not right. Logically speaking, they have no motive to get rid of you yet? Where did your poison come from?"
"This packet of medicine is not for me, but Wang Anliang gave it to me so that I can use it for you." Li An said.
"What, they are going to attack Xiao Chen? Is it because we are too busy and want to find something to do?" After hearing this, Duan Tianming yelled loudly.
It has always been Dongchang who has targeted others, but now, someone actually wants to attack Xiao Chen. How could he tolerate this kind of thing, how could Dongchang tolerate it.
Du Shaoqin also had a cold smile on his face: "Capture them, I will use Dongchang's torture on them a hundred times, and they will not be allowed to die."
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, not only sat on the recliner and did not move, but actually laughed: "This is because I ruined the matter of creating public opinion, and the King of Han was angry. It's good. I originally planned to get rid of Wang Anliang of Shangshu Mansion first.
, at least it will allow you to return to Shangshu Mansion in the future without having to worry about being a thief."
"Brother Xiao didn't move, was he afraid of disturbing the situation?" Li An asked.
"What's the point of trying to scare the snake? I'm afraid I won't have any money to use." Xiao Chen burst out laughing, "Now it seems that since the King of Han plans to take action against me, the money will definitely not be available in the future. Why do I still keep Wang Anliang?
His mission is accomplished and his life must come to an end."
With that said, Xiao Chen put the poison paper bag into his arms.
"How about we arrest Wang Anliang and use the case of Mr. Li's wife and children to also arrest the King of Han?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Duan Tianming's eyes shone, looking eager to try.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and looked at Li An: "Master Li, can you do this?"
"It's up to you. I've already cut Wang Anliang into pieces." Thinking of his wife and children, Li An clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Here, let me familiarize myself with the torture in Dongchang Prison." Du Shaoqin also said.
