In Le'an Prefecture, the weather is sunny and the sun is high in the sky.
The breeze in February, with a hint of warmth, blew out green buds on the side of the field.
In the living room of Prince Han's Mansion, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, as if it were a cold day.
Hundreds of guards in the yard surrounded them in an instant. Each one held their weapons tightly and looked at the body of Commander Zhang Jian lying on the ground. They surrounded the living room tightly, but no one dared to step forward.
.
After stepping over Zhang Jian's body, Xiao Chen stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu, his face unusually calm.
"Before I came to Le'an, I had never seen you, and I didn't want to see you. I heard that you had a bad temper and killed countless people, but what does that have to do with me? Killing the commander of the Forbidden Army, instructing his men to kill Li An's wife
Whether your son commits murder or not, this is all your business. If the emperor doesn't care, I won't care either. However, you shouldn't stretch your hand too long."
Xiao Chen whispered.
But even so, every word was like a hammer, hitting Zhu Gao and Zhu Gaoxu's heart hard, making his heartbeat so heavy that he could hardly breathe due to Xiao Chen's speaking speed.
"As a prince, I am not willing to be able to obtain the legitimate throne. What's so great about princes fighting openly and secretly, and killing each other." After taking a deep breath, Zhu Gaoxu adjusted his mentality and said.
"You can take it as you please. It's your own business and has nothing to do with me. Before that, I didn't participate in the fight between your princes?" Xiao Chen asked lightly.
"No."
"If not, why did you want to poison me? Is it because I didn't stand on your side, or did I ruin your plan to seize the rightful son? Or do you think I'm a very friendly person and easy to bully?" Xiao Chen simply said
He sat down at the table and looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing at the table, with the corners of his mouth raised and a smile on his face.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Gaoxu said: "Since you asked, let's open the window and speak frankly. You took my money and not only did you not do anything for me, you also ruined my plan."
"Plan? Is there a turmoil in public opinion in the capital? I did not report this matter to the emperor. You should be able to see that although it ruined your plan, I still showed mercy to you. If I had reported it to the emperor at that time, you should be in the East at this moment
Talk to me in the factory prison. Tell me, why are you so stupid? You don't even have half the brain of your elder brother. Not only do you not appreciate me, but you want to poison me? How come you have such developed limbs from the same mother?
"Simple-minded, you say?"
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, Xiao Chen humiliated him endlessly.
Isn't that condescending? Today I will trample you under my feet and crush your dignity completely.
"You, you..." Zhu Gaoxu's veins popped up on his forehead, and he was so angry that he could hardly speak.
"Speaking of money, I remembered, how much is the annual income of your fiefdom?" Xiao Chen squeezed his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Why are you asking this?" Zhu Gaoxu was startled.
"You want to poison me, but I was so frightened by you. Plus, I came all the way here and it took a lot of hard work. Shouldn't you compensate me a little?"
"Compensation, are you here to ask for compensation? Then why did you kill my guard commander?" Hearing that Xiao Chen wanted money, Zhu Gaoxu felt very angry when he looked at Zhang Jian's cold body.
"You didn't hear what he asked for, are you deaf? Just tell me how much your fiefdom's annual income is, so I can open my mouth." Sitting on the chair, Xiao Chen put up his right leg like a ruffian, and used
He held his arms, tilted his head, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who looked confused.
Just as Zhu Gaoxu was about to speak, the counselor Mo Li who had been slumped on the ground beside him seemed to have changed his mind and hurriedly got up: "His Highness's fiefdom is barren, and his income in a year is less than one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Oh, two hundred thousand taels? You've been coming to Le'an for several years. Okay, give me a one million tael banknote and I won't argue with you about poisoning me." He tilted his head, Xiao
Chen said with a smile.
"One million taels? Didn't you hear my counselor say that the annual income is less than one hundred thousand taels? Not that much." Zhu Gaoxu flicked his sleeves and turned his back.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "If you said it, I would still believe it. But if he said one hundred thousand taels, it would be more than two hundred thousand taels."
"Why do you believe it when I say it, but he says you don't believe it?" Zhu Gaoxu turned around and asked.
"Because you are stupid!" Xiao Chen looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a playful smile on his face.
"you you..."
"Poisoning the captain in purple clothes. If this matter comes to the emperor, your son and grandson will probably be implicated. One million taels, more or less, you have to weigh it yourself." Xiao Chen lowered his head and stroked his waist with his right hand.
The hilt of the Libian knife seems to be saying the same thing as his own sword.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the counselor Mo Li, as if he had made up his mind, and said fiercely: "Give it to him."
"Your Highness, there are not that many. The accounting office only has eight hundred thousand taels per vote." Li Qiye said a little aggrieved.
"Eight hundred thousand taels is fine, bring it over." Xiao Chen waved to Mo Li.
With trembling legs, Li Li walked to Xiao Chen. He reached out and took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Xiao Chen.
Taking the bank note in his hand, he put it into his arms without looking at it. The smile on Xiao Chen's face gradually disappeared and became colder.
"If you poison me, you can get compensation, but if you assassinate my brother Xiao Yu, it won't cost you any money. Tell me, who came up with this idea?"
"You are so shameless. You took the money and still want to pursue it." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore and burst out all of a sudden.
The dignified captain in purple is really despicable and despicable to go back on his promise like this.
"Who came up with this idea? Tell me." Xiao Chen jumped down from the chair, his eyes like knives, stabbing at Zhu Gaoxu.
Pointing at Mo Li, Zhu Gaoxu said: "It was his idea and my order. What else do you want?"
Xiao Chen disappeared instantly, and when he saw him again, he was already behind Mo Li.
His right hand clicked on Mo Li's head.
"Crack, click, click", there was a sound of bones breaking. The human head in the palm was torn into pieces, and the white brains were shattered on the ground.
In an instant, counselor Mo Li fell to the ground without pain, freed forever.
Zhu Gaoxu's face turned pale again, and he swallowed the curse that was on his lips.
Bending down and picking up the sword belonging to the guard commander Zhang Jian from the ground, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards Zhu Gaoxu.
"You gave the order, so leave the hand that gave the order so that you can remember it."
Zhu Gaoxun was so frightened that he tried to hide away.
Killing his own guard commander and adviser was already extremely disrespectful to the royal family. Now he actually wants to attack himself. Is this purple-clad captain really crazy?
